- Night 11 of our 30 night overnight challenge was spent with my son (Sam) and sister (Erin). We did a backpacking overnighter at Wild River State Park in Eastern Minnesota.

Looks like a great spot! And love that Sam will ham it up!
Sam is a HAM. LOL. I love that kid so much!
Happy Sunday my friend. Glad to see you posting some wonderful content still. Have a great week and see you soon... Big like, support and love.
Cheers to you and these awesome aerial views 👏👏👏
Thanks Kai!
Great trip Tim! PA is the same way. Nothing saying whether they are good for hammocks or not and not just for state parks. Come to think of it, no map or guide book or app actually says anything about it. Interesting. I usually watch a video of someone that did the trail and used a hammock. No better way to be but weird! 👍
Thanks friend! Hopefully people will realize the power of the hammockers!!
Normal is just a setting on the dryer 🙂
Love it! 🤣
Awesome video, so glad you guys had this awesome site, great scenery too. That drone footage is awesome as always dude. And it's true, who wants to be normal anyway, I know I am not. Looks like you guys had a good meal after the hike there. Tim says he is diggin' the music.
Thanks Nicole! Tell Tim he has great taste in music!
Cool video Buckley. I liked your campsite. Camp time can be some of the most fun parts of being outdoors.
Camp time with YOU is certainly always a blast pal!!! Counting the days dude!
We loved the drone footage!😊👌. This looked like a great time with family, minus the bugs! Absolutely, embrace the weirdness! Being true to yourself is the key to happiness 😊. Great video😊👍. We are just catching up on your adventures, Shell and Pete
Thanks friends!
Love the hammock setup!
Thanks Kaitlin. It's my baby. 🙂
Buck Hill was gorgeous and shame about there being no hammock camping there but what a real lush place that looked. Good to see you did get the hammocks out eventually and looked a perfect setup and that sunset looked amazing. Morning turned at dam fine too and that burger did look juicy! Cheers Alan
Thanks Alan! We had a great time!
Good vibes in this one.
Thanks brother!
Very nice, I wish you success in your life
Nice one Tim. Put Whitewater State Park on your list as it is one of the areas within MN with little to no mosquitoes. It is true. The creek water is too cold to allow them to hatch.
I've heard this! I'll have to visit someday!
Execelente video vlog el de hoy
Down here in Florida, at Hillsborough Rivet State Park marks out the hammock friendly sites. You would think it would cross their minds up there. Great video.
That's sweet! Good to know some parks are figuring it out!
Looks beautiful out there that one of the parks i am hoping to get to this year
I would go back but not during summer. Bugs were real thick!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley Thank you for the heads up on that
Yeah ... just rock the weird.
Weirdos unite!
What a nice trip with some family! Looks like a nice park to.
Thanks Tonya!
Looks like an awesome trip, 10 out of 10 for the manly sawing segment 👏🏼
Buggin out man....freaking bugging out! Holy land between the ferns. Great that you got to share these moments with friends and family, but the buggos can driver you mad. Another great episode for the books. Where to next?
I'm back in Dakota right now. Staying in a beautiful glamping tent for a couple days in exchange for some work! Living out here until the group comes out next week!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley I bet the weather in Dakota is awesome right now! It's boiling down here in the south and I think it even got up to 100 today. Wish I could join you guys on this one, but it's been a rollercoaster year. Looking forward to seeing all the videos from the experience. Have fun out there my friend!
@@MetroOnTheMove our friendship will remain regardless of missed trips! I have no doubt we will hike together again soon!!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley looking forward to it my friend!
Excellent video my brother, may God bless you always! I came to stay and add.
Awesome! Thanks!
Afton Alps SP has several hammock sites, although I don't recall which ones off the top of my head.
They have a few good ones! I've been there a handful of times. Afton is cool!
Love the drone footage!! Wow, those mosquitos were relentless!! The area looked beautiful though. Go Sam!! I love to see kids learning and using their minds!! Weird is good sometimes....lol. I think we all have a little weirdness in us!!
We are all weird, but some more than others. 🤣
Whoever made fun of your catch phrase. Tell to shut their pieholes. lol
Thanks for the video brother
Haha!! I did tell them! Thanks Mark!
You the man brother!!
So called weird people are always my favorite people. Bugs on the other hand are not my favorite. I was itchy just watching all those mosquitoes flying around you. The biting bugs can really ruin a trip. Happy to see they didn’t ruin yours. Great video!
The bugs have tried several times to get the best of me. I try not to let them win. I'm a fellow fan of weirdness my friend!
Oh no! The WORST part of hiking this time of year - the bugs - so true!
Bugs can make or break you! This was a close one for my sanity!
Great video Brother!
Thanks Tommy!
Love the Modest Mouse cover! Can you send me a link?
I cant find it now dammit. Sorry. It was on TH-cam but im not sure where I found it.
Everyone is weird in their own way. It's good to be weird. Embrace it!
Thanks Doc! I agree whole heartedly!
Ready for some weird talk IN PERSON man!
Ditto my friend.....soon
I just returned form a three day hike along the Superior Hiking Trail, went from Castle Danger road trailhead to the Beaver Bay Trailhead. It was awesome thanks for the tip on the Chicken Tramper water bottle holder it worked great.
Did you sport your dapper vest on this trip??
The vest hasn't made the rotation yet! 🤣 I love the Castle Danger section. Beautiful! Hope you enjoyed it.
Embrace the weirdness! There really isn't anything called "normal" anyway...everyone is unique and that's the way it should be. As for mosquitos, it is shaping up to be a horrible year...and our blackflies too that just take chunks right out of you...and the ticks!!!! Good to get out with family and reflect for sure. Take good care and enjoy the week! Bruce and Otis
Bugs can sure make a trip challenging. They can drive you mad!
Life's to short to be normal! All us weirdos have way more fun! :D
Agreed my friend!
I think i saw one of the ladies walking with that isobutane repellant thingy! A - did i see that correctly, B - if so, did it help any? Very pretty area for sure!
It didn't seem to work too well sadly. It was worth a try though!
Nice place to take the youngsters out.Never been to Minnesnowta,land of a thousand lakes and a billion bugs.😀
You said it best!! So many bugs!
Family is important, glad to see you enjoying time with your family buddy boy.
They don't post anything about hammocks because they don't expect monkeys to be hiking. Lol.
I'm very much a monkey! I sleep so well in my little bear burrito!
Dude we got attacked by them in CO. Im still itching 3 days later!!!
I never get itchy until after a shower for some reason, then I scratch myself until I bleed. 🤣
Not sure I’ve ever heard of a site touting its hammock friendliness. We’re still a niche group.
It's time, Seth...it's time for them to know we are HERE. 😃
Man how was it? I have had my eye on that park for a while. For a ground dweller like me those campsite like nice. Does it offer decent hiking?
It's beautiful but I'd prefer to go there in the fall, or maybe even winter?
Very very beautifull sir
Thanks so much!
Life would be boring if you couldn't be weird once in a while. The 5-8 club has the best Juicy Lucy burger!! Later man!!
I'm lucky to have had both and neither place disappointed!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley I've been to both plus 2 of the 5-8 clubs.
Phff, how dare you go to Matt's, everyone knows the Juicy Lucy is better from the 5/8ths Club (since they are the true originals). BTW you planning on being this side of the state line this weekend?
I've been to both and they differ but I can't remember which was better!! Haha. I know they were both awesome for my unsophisticated pallette! I'm in Western South Dakota until the end of the month.
@@BackpackingwithBuckley LOL no worries man, I just know that the rivalry between the two can be pretty extreme depending on who you're talking to so i always like to poke fun at it. Bummer you're stuck in the South Dakota since Steven and I are hitting up a section of the SHT this weekend (thinking of doing Swag's Sonju to Dyer's Creek route). Good luck with your challenge. I'm pulling for you, we're all in this together.
I'll agree.. You're weird lol😁
Ditto my friend. 🤣
