@@PATG1 There were a few parts that are grown in but for the most part it was great scenery all around. I wish the storm stayed around a little longer so I could enjoy it more under the tarp. All in all it was a fun little adventure!
You are always so chill about what ever obstacles you encounter be it bugs, weather or terrain... Love your thru hikes and I hope to get into long backpacking trips like this in the near future.
@@darcyshikingdiaries You’re on the right track, Darcy and you have a great attitude about the outdoors and hiking in general! Three weeks until Pinchot!
The scenery was so beautiful in this one. This looked pretty challenging to begin with and then with the rain and those flies at the end. It also looked super peaceful and neat that it overlapped with some of the state park trails.
@@hikingoutdoorfamily It was fun to just go out with no set plan and make the route as I went along. Passing through a State Park is always a treat too. I could do without those flies though haha! Thanks for checking out the video!
Cool shot at 15:54 with you walking past the mushrooms. 21:29 Nice spot along the Shingle Mill Trail. I bet it doesn't get visited much. Well, nothing like doing 60% of your hiking on the last of three days 😆 Started out as a pretty leisurely outing but became pretty ambitious, huh? I guess you could call this the Fog & Bog Trip!
@@olddudeonthetrail72 I had a lot of fun with the mushroom shots😅 and that giant flat rock along Shingle Mill Trail is just asking for someone to have a lunch there! Yeah I kinda went in with no major plan just had three days to play with and that 18 miles on the last day felt good to complete! #fogandbogtrip 💯
Great trip! Dang Rocksylvania! It’s rough. You had some nice pieces of gear this trip 😉 That tarp setup with the poles 🤯 The little alcohol stove. Great video!
@@Toomuchgearguy Thank you so much! Im still trying to perfect the trekking poles over the tarp. Watching the footage I think I’ll benefit more if I extend them longer, maybe help get rid of the pooling water I had. The alcohol stove is the gram weenie from Dutchware, I’m very happy with it.
@@dayhikedave Looking back there were lots of camping options on that route, and yeah those rocks and roots had me pretty wore out at the end! Thanks Dave!
My feet are cracked, I still feel the charleyhorse, I'm soaked, I left my first day bag of food on the table, it's raining and there are no good views, but I'll see y'all next time😂. I love it and thanks for sharing!
Nice trip! Glad to see you out there on Shingle Mill Trail, that's such a good one. And the Moss Hanne Trail is a swamp you managed to hit after a thunderstorm, perfect conditions. If you make yet another AFT trip consider using the east side of the Rock Run Trail system (just north of where you parked). There are a few other great but unmarked connectors: Huckleberry Rd from Shingle Mill to a logging road leads down to the AFT Red Mo section; the Blueberry Trail and some short road walking can get you to the AFT along Six Mile Run. So many good options!
Great video as always. I live about a mile from the AFT and hike it regularly. I love camping at the site with the deer head skeleton. There are a couple nice sites there. I think the way you went this time is more challenging, the climb and rocks at the end is no joke. It always takes me longer to get through that part than I think it will.
@@matt67524 Thank you! That climb out was definitely challenging, and with the rocks added makes it tough. That campsite you mentioned was a great area and the whole trail seems to be plentiful with camp sites. It’s definitely a must hike PA trail IMO if want to experience Rocksylvania!
that was a grand 3 day adventure. i very much enjoyed it. i really miss living up around there. down here in florida, all we have are swamps and pretty much everywhere you have to be on guard for snakes and gators or wild hogs. it sucks but it keeps you on your toes. Dwayne
@@dwaynestewart6095 I couldn’t imagine being on guard for wild hogs.😬 Glad you enjoyed the adventure! I heard the Florida Trail is a nice place to visit in the winter.
@Hiking.Inspired yea in the winter it is nice. I think the two best sections would be , the Ocala national forest and the suwanne river section. South Florida has those giant pythons , and quite a few other really dangerous critters
The mailbox opening 😅, those bugs you were hearing could’ve been katydids? Always enjoy your videos man you’re a huge inspiration, really hope we can do the west rim trail here in the spring. Keep it up buddy!
@@MaksimOutdoors I’m saving the West Rim Trail for a Spring and I’m looking forward to it! Yeah that mailbox cracked me up, I didn’t see it until I was home editing.😅
Thanks fair sharing your hike. Your inclusion of maps and suggestions for trail suggestions is helpful. Question: If you were to choose a hammock site, would you stop along Benner Run or at that site when you crossed the bridge over the Black Moshannon? Thanks JT Jerseytown, PA
@@jeffreysr.trought2650 Thank you, JT! I’m glad the maps help out! Along Benner Run would have been the better choice for hammock camping, it was a lovely area with lots of space.
@@jeffreysr.trought2650Something else to consider is that there is 4x4 road access to the camp spot after crossing Black Moshannon (the spot with the table and benches). Sometimes people party there.
Yea, you certainly like the rain. Great to see the Park. What do think of a bear cannister? Did you do only about 6 miles the second day? On Friday I am posting my hike on the Star Mill Trail and about a mile of the Moss Hanne from Beaver Road from this summer. Great hike you did. Thanks
@@quietjohnoutandabout6578 The rain has been following me on my trips this year! Yes I only did 6 miles on day two. There was a lot of searching for a camp I liked outside of the state park and didn’t mind an early day, I had to make up for it on the last day though. I’ll be looking forward to checking out your video of the area! Thanks, John!
Hey Jeremy, amazing video as always. I see that you filmed in a different frame rate and aspect ratio, I wonder how do you feel about it? I left a comment a few days ago it may have been flagged cause I tried to give you my email. Is there any way I can contact you in private?
@@WALTERZOLNA Yes! After we talked about frame rate at the meet-up I made the change to 24 fps. It definitely warms up the footage especially when the camera is stationary. Most of the first person shots while I walk I filmed in 60 fps but I don’t know if that makes difference after I export it all to 24. I’m still learning😅 I always try to mix in different aspect ratios but I think I’ve been using the wider angle more lately. The same thing happened to me months back when I left you a comment about getting in contact it must been flagged as well! I never seen your comment you left a few days ago! If you look in my about section you will find what you seek.✌️
Great hike, everything looks lush and green , the thunder storm following you was cool.

Great to see another one of your videos out
When did you do this trip it’s in my back yards I only live 15 minutes from the AFT
@@williamdunlap865 This trip was during the first week of August. Hey that’s a nice back yard you have😄
Nice trip! I’ve never hiked AFT but it’s on my list. I enjoy how you just take little adventures off the beaten path!
@@tracygolder598 Thanks! I’m glad I finally got out there. I must admit it has me thinking of the long adventure that’s possible on that path..

I especially like the area around the bog

@@LumberjackPa sometimes I think I just like to go out and get my butt kicked instead of hiking😅
Sweet hike. Was always curious about that Shingle Mill trail. Black Mo SP is pretty. Those boardwalk are fun.
@@stephenhiker9807 You’re right the State Park is nice and the many trails in the area make it worth visiting multiple times.

Thank you.
