I love Dolly Sods. You are making me miss it. And all of you guys.
Really cool stuff and I bet you had a lot of fun with Ben. Cool video and area my friend 👍🏻👍🏻
Can't wait to hang out again buddy! We should do the Sods sometime soon too!
So beautiful and lush.
It was indeed!!
what a beautiful area! so pretty and green!
It's epic dude!
What a super diverse and amazing place Dolly Sods is. Im Pennsylvania based, but exploring the Sods is a dream of mine. West Virginia in my opinion is the most gorgeous and wild landscape in the east, south of the Daks and Whites. Great video Buckley!
It's truly magnificent there! I can't wait to explore.
MOIST! Despite the rain, it looks like you guys had a blast out there! That dog bone is a great addition to your pack set up! Just when you extend a helping hand, you land in the water. Looks like Sarah is a HUGE fan of SouthernHike! Hammock Paradise with all those trees! Those sandos look like a great way to end a awesome hike with friends!
Thanks Andy!! Sarah is a big fan of SouthernHike, and Taylor's giveaways! 😀 Ben is a genuinely great dude.
Thanks Buckley. Great video indeed.
Thank YOU Tressa!
Hey buddy! That place is darn right majestic. Thanks for sharing Tim. ✌️
It's a different world from ours for sure! Hope you are well my friend!
Looks like a ton of fun, Buckley.
It was a blast!
That place is on my bucket list. Great looking trip and video
Thanks Adam!
What a cool view of Lion's Head!!!
It was awesome. Glad we found it!
Another epic adventure that I got learn something, enjoy plenty, and of course have a few laughs all by just watching this video. Good stuff
Thanks Daniel!
That's why it's always good to bring a tarp... Cool video nice area 😁😎✌️
The tarp was a game changer
Another great video 👌👌👌... Glad you're enjoying the East Coast
Thanks my friend!
Super naturaleza
Thanks!
the diversity like you mentioned is just gorgeous!!!! Hell of a first camp site to. what a great group to be out with looked like a great time in dolly sod. bear hang skills at there finest!! Lions head was phenomenal man makes me wanna get back on a trail.
It's a pretty crazy place. Thanks Jeff!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley my first hike thia year is Saturday. 7000 feet I get service in the saddle going to do my first livenfrom grizzly country I'm kinda excited to run up this mountain and go live :) lol
Great trip! Nice video as always.😘
Thanks much!
Dolly Sods trip… nice! Even if I was hoping you were coming a little further East across PA. Happy to see you’re doing well. Hilltop coffee is amazing, wish I didn’t have to have it shipped. Looking forward to your next adventure.
You can always drive to Wayneburg and get coffee right from Hilltop! Thanks Kevin!
Great video, Tim! I want to go to Dolly Sods soon.
I'm going somewhere in PA or WV the 28th thru the 30th if you're interested!
What a great video. You had some really cool shots.
Thanks pal! It was a bucket list location!
I hoping to get down to the sods in a few weeks when the fall color pops
I'd love to see it in fall too!
14:13. Those are rhododendron maximum. They are also called great laurel. Mountain laurel are smaller bushes with smaller leaves and flower clusters.
Phaert!
Dolly Sodden should be another name for the place, like Vermud.
It reminds me of Grayson Highlands, minus the ponies and longhorns. That was wild!
You might want to check out Lion's Head on the eastern side of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.
It's a really cool place!! Thanks for the info Daniel!
Awesome brother! I was just thinking I hadn't seen you post in a while. Looked like a cool place. Food at the end looked awesome.
Thanks for the video
I was lazy for a couple weeks! Thanks Mark!
great vid! I need to get into the sods.
It is stunning man! I'll be going back.
What a gorgeous place west Virginia is! On our hiking bucket list for sure😊👌. All that mud reminded us of winter hikes in the British countryside🤣. Loved the music choices as always. This looked like a really fun couple of days with great company👌. The lions head was incredible 🤩 🦁. Nicely timed view point too just before the cloud rolled in!👍. Lots of laughs as always, we have missed your videos. More please!😊👊. Have a great weekend, Shell and Pete
Ps it depends on the type of fart entirely, but we will go with PHHARP 🤣🤣
That's a great spelling! 🤣 Hope you're able to visit someday! Thank you for watching my friends!
I never just set up a tarp like that. Seems like it would be easier to set up, than a regular tent.
It works great! I'd like to try just setting a tent under the tarp sometime instead of a rainfly.
I'm so behind on videos! Freakin Dolly Sods looks sweet! And heck yes love to see the bag already on trail!
I love my bag Taylor! It's my first hilltop packs bag! Just got done with another adventure with it. Thank you brother!!
You SHOULD BE behind bud! Priorities man!
nice video, "the sods" never disappoint.
Thanks Jim! I agree. It's beautiful there!
that fog rolling in!
I wish I'd kept the camera rolling a little longer!
I wish I would have kept the camera rolling.
Woo hoo...I got a shutout 🙆♂️.
You're always in my heart pal. Those sandwiches were good again too!
Loved the video, saddening that I couldn't attend. Love that place. I would have done a different route though. Quite a bit you missed. Next time!
I'll be back. What loop do you suggest Hoot?
@@BackpackingwithBuckley Not necessarily a loop, it is if you do the perimeter of the Sods. Should have rephrased that. Anyways, we like starting at Bear Rock Trailhead. Taking 522 to 521 then connecting with 524. Just enjoy the plateaus & views you experience off the bat. Before you start venturing into the canopy of the half dozen different forest that awaits you.
Btw..digging the NEW Black Keys? Or is that a cover?
Cover....but I'm digging the real version more! Thanks buddy!!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley A good cover, digging the album. Some good cuts on it.
Transmission ending..
Fun times! Dolly Sods is on the list….so awesome you got to meet up with Ben!!! Cheers C&J
Ben is a genuinely cool guy. I love how he runs his business and treats his people.
Buckley my man, hope you are doing well I’ve been camping a ton! When are y’all coming down to Arizona to climb around? Can we collab? 👀👀😊
I'd love to hit AZ someday! A collab sounds fun. Feel free to venture our way too!
Looks awesome! and Moist xD
Thanks pal! It was very moist!
Wow, spectacular!!!! Adding that to my backpacking bucket list. I was not aware of this area, thanks for clueing me in and sharing. I just finished taking my son on his first BWCA backpacking trip - it was epic as well! Be well, Pete
Thanks Pete! Can't wait to hear about the BWCA!
Love this base camp. Short hikes, lots of chit chat. Very cool. “Lite in the shoes”. 👍😎
Ben was a fast friend. He and Preston are fun dudes!
Oh man this makes me want to go back there even more! Great video
It's truly magical!
great video, you from northeast ohio?
I lived there for a while. I'm back in South Dakota currently!
