Dan, thanks for watching and commenting. Work has kept me way too busy lately and I haven't been able to get out and do much. However, I have a camping trip at Garner State Park coming up, and an elk hunt in Colorado, and a canoe camping trip on the Angelina River so hope to post a few videos soon.
Ana H, thanks for watching and commenting. Good for you for getting out their with your family. This is a fun area and this time of year there are plenty of spectacular days to enjoy.
Your videos are such a joy to watch. I am going bushcrafting in Sam Houston National Forest within this week or the next, and having this video pop up was such perfect timing. It really helped me get a bearing of what the land and the trails are going to look like. I can't wait to get out there and have just as much fun as you were having 3 weeks ago. Cheers!
So, one of the drawbacks to camping in the National Forest/Lone Star Hiking Trail, is there are no fires allowed except in designated areas. How do you get away with building a fire, even if someone else has done it before you. I'm not being judgmental, I trying to learn the ins and outs of camping in the Sam Houston National Forest.
My understanding is that you can build a fire anywhere as long as it is 300 feet from a designated trail or parking area. Here is the National Forests of Texas Rule. The full list of rules is at this link: www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd523340.pdf. Hopefully that helps.

Which trailhead did you enter from? I am going backpacking next weekend and this looks like a great hike. Any additional details you can give would be much appreciated. Enjoyed the video!
Mark, thanks for watching and commenting. I started at trailhead # 1 which is at the intersection of FM 149 and FS 219. The best place for info is at lonestartrail.org/. They have good maps to use for planning. One option to think about is the Grand Loop or some portion of it. This will give you multiple mileage options in a loop instead of an out and back. You can also go to the the National Forest website to get information about trail closures. Anyway, good luck with your planning and enjoy your trip.
Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your videos!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Well done my friend. Really fun to watch you thriving.
What is the next adventure?

It’s beautiful. A few weeks ago my family and I did the big creek scenic area to double lake and back to trail head 12. The weather was perfect.

Dylan M., thank for the comment. That makes my day. Have fun on your trip.
@@wanderbynature2508 That was a great trip. Camping off trail was awesome. The water there tasted way better than tap water in the city
Good to hear that your trip went well.
Nice upload man and great editing. Weather is just perfect.
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching.
Beautiful hiking video. The forest looks awesome 😁
Thank you for watching. And the forest was awesome.
It seems like I remember you doing a video on your cook kit. It looks like you had a nice outing.
Yes, I did do a video on my cook kit. And it was a nice outing. Thanks for watching.
