You made great use of that little pack! Main bag is only 2200ci but with the 2 spotting scope pockets adds another 1200ci so 3400ci total and you have alot of gear!! Great video!! I would recommend stuffing your sleeping bag in the bottom of pack without the stuff sack it will fill all the air pockets in the pack and be protected alot better!
Another great video, Allie . Really enjoyed watching. You do carry a lot of stuff. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe cause I want to keep watching your videos. Yes, I am selfish.
I totally appreciate the fact that you don't really seem to worry much about your gear but I gotta say that just from the looks of it you could really up your enjoyment factor with just a few additional item or with some improvements on what you have. Weight and functionality, especially when you're doing 10 plus miles a day seems like a pretty good investment in the research and a few extra dollars.
Hope you three have good weather and a great hike on the AT. You should carry a fixed blade with sheath between your back and backpack were you can reach quickly! Fire starters, lighters, candles! Hope everyone has fun, be safe, check for ticks.
The Thru Hikers are required to hang food bags to prevent Black Bears becoming problems. Out west on the JMT and Parts of the PCT Hikers use Bear Canisters to Store food on the Ground ( Lack of Trees ). Any dry bag will work to hang food. A good choice for you would be the Ursack Major Bear Bag or Another Size. You would get a lot more chances of using it with all the Hunting and Stuff You Do on the Channel Etc. Also You tube Hanging Food Bag Vids. Its for the safety of the Bears Mostly. But it should be done properly and taken seriously. What Section you Hiking Around ?
I am somewhat an ounce counter but not that drastic. I was glad to see you take that judo point out of your pack. That saved you a bunch of wait! Have fun and take care. I loved the Pens lighter!
I live near a bear preserve. mostly hike and camp in that area. I don't hang my food either. never had a problem. "yet" ! that filter fits on a smart water or coke bottle if you didn't know ? i'd ditch that heavy nalgene bottle.
Now that is a dog lol. I love big dogs. This is a great video Allie. We are planning on going to a National Park Next Spring and I will defiantly be carrying but I understand why you don't. Especially in this Society. We go to Smokey Mountains every year. Never had a problem with the Bears there. But Be Careful. Also always stick to your group. National Parks have the most disappearances in the country every year. Look it up. Best not to split to far from the group.
Johnny Boy, Dave Paulides. he is the guy that writes the missing 411 books. about people missing in national forest. Check the stories out on you tube. you will probably enjoy them ? very interesting. However I live just off the largest wilderness area east of the Mississippi. not to far from the smokey mountain national park. I spend many days and nights a year in the remote wilderness miles from any other person and off the trails, ALONE. there is nothing to fear man. like I said the most peaceful and safest place's on earth. don't let fear of the unknown stop you from enjoying the wilds. that's silly.
That's awesome bet it's going be fun trip!!!! There is a big part of it we're we hunt In bland county VA !!! Loved the bag dump great tools for back pack trip !! Love down bags and jackets and pillows
Its fall now i just went camping fri. Glad you guys are back this way. Make sure to pack a tarp cause we caught some rain and at 5 in the murnen getting dripps on you lol gets cold. Oh also the trail is something i have always wanted to do its a tough trail. I love you guys your awesome lol chipmunk talk was funnae. Stay safe have fun and stay positive.
What part of the trail are you planning on hiking? A friend and myself hiked the appalachian trail lots for about 8 years, mainly north carolina an tennessee parts. Enjoyed it tremendously .
Outdoors Allie there’s a local hiking trail. Called McConnils Mill state park. If you haven’t been there. You should go. You’ve prolly seen it in the news where people have gone missing
when are you going hiking the AT next? i am going fall winter next year and i would love somebody to go with me. get in touch with me on google chats please.
Hi allie great information. .. I have a couple packs. Unfortunately my days are past since I can't carry more than 10 pounds since my accident. ...I do miss backpacking. I may go packing with my 4 wheel drive jeep... anyways I think it is a wise decision to carry mace since their is bears there. I know black bears are not supposed to attack people but you never know. Another item you might consider is a compass... Btw did you have an antelope tag and did you get one? ?? Have a great trip...God bless you ...curt
Might be worth considering motorcycle or quad bike camping if you can't backpack but still want the adventure or challenge of being forced to only take what you need, its kind of the middle ground between backpacking and car camping.
Hello... I have a question and I have no idea if you or anyone can answer this regarding food. I'm a type 1 diabetic and food (along with insulin and my solar charger for my insulin pump & Continuous Glucose Monitoring system) is tops on my list. I consume a ton of calories while hunting. I have too and it doesn't matter how much I reduce my basal dosage. What are the best foods to bring? I bring Mountain House and other various dehydrated fruits and protein bars. Also, being comfortable means body burns less calories which assists my blood sugar. Would you know any diabetics who hunt the west? If any type 1 diabetics hunt the west, I'm quite interested in what you bring.
I don't. Props to you, that must be a challenge. I usually pack caloric dense foods like nuts, fried fruits, mountain house, sausage & cheese, protein bars, etc. Do you struggle with packing enough food?
Sausage & cheese?? The fats in this situation might help. Hhhmmmm... You just gave me a thought. Yeah, I pack a ton of food and I hope through it. This week I ascended and descended almost 6000 vertical feet & hiked about 15 miles and it took everything I had to maintain my blood sugars. But, what I didn't do is pack much fats which may be the trick. 😊
Allie your comment about not being worried about animals and more about people is what I always say. Take a sidearm please! Never trust anyone always be vigilant. Alright enough of the crazy talk. Hope you have a great time be safe and enjoy your frolic
Hey girl! I call it AppalAAAAAchian too! But Im also from Missouri and pronounce it Missouri (EEE) and others say Missourah! Drives me nuts. :) Subscribing! hope to see your trip on the AT
If you can "carry", always carry......better to reach for it and have it than reach and wish you had it. Too much on the line today. More out than in.......
I have watched many many hikers do the Appalachian trail and they all pronounce it the way you do including town people. Just saying. My dad was part of a hunting camp and they had a cook, huge breakfast huge supper. The other point about lightweight gear is cost, I cannot afford a $500 tent.
Daniel, I am an actual appalachian american . we say it the other way, at least in the south. but they're aint a wrong way to say it. people know what your talking about.
@@GrottoGroveGroves I was just relaying what I had observed but thank you for the reinforcement. She did say some pronounce it a different way, that may just be dialect. It is a very long chain that runs into Canada in fact there is another few hundred miles to this trail.
have fun on your trip! sounds like fun! check out my new facebook page " hunting colorado"! i wanted to develop a respectful page for us outdoorsmen to share our experiences, without drama and ridicule! you can join if you like, and check out my bull elk i got!!! congrats on your buck and pronghorns!
mark. i'm considered a gun nut. when I am long distance hiking. I do not carry. why ? just no real need to. plus the extra weight just drags you down. just me. I do not care if anyone else does, in fact I like camping with them if they do.
In a way, taking a gun on a hike such as this one is like taking bear spray in bear country, you gotta have it on you and be ready to pull the trigger in a few seconds notice. If it's inside the pack... too late. It's like needing it, and not having it... Worse actually, it's more like "not having it" but still carrying the dead weight.
The best way I've found to hang food; it the PCT style of hanging food, very easy and fun to do. You can look it up on TH-cam.. Have fun and be safe. P.S. I wish you were packing a gun...
forwarded:....Im E-Begging any/all E-Beggers will you send me some money? ths message is being sent to ever TH-camr , im tryin ti find out if any r givers or just takers
I try to keep my pack light, but I'm also there for a good time and want to be comfortable. I ended up packing in a deck of cards that we played around the fire... sooooo worth it :)
So i guess people who hike their own hike aren'r real backpackers? GTFO with that pushing overpriced overhyped UL gear that all these "Real Backpackers" are subliminally telling people that they have to be UL to have a good time. UL has its place but most sacrifices safelty and comfort. She can carry what she wants, I can carry what I want and you carry what you want. I'm so tired of the gear wars. The point is to have fun and enjoy the outdoors and not be critiqued on every silly gram. Go Allie. Keep on doing what you are doing 👍
Lol sounds like someone learned from a real asshole how to be an asshole. Nothing wrong with what Allie has here. You sound like the same kind of prick who says you have to shoot a 1500 bow to be a real bow hunter. I know people who 10 year old budget bows and wear K-mart clothes who are more knowledgeable about the outdoors and more skilled hunters and outdoorsmen (and women) than most of you pro shop gear gurus. So you go Allie, ignore the negativity.
Call it a "load out" love. Not a "bag dump". I thought you were just emptying your purse there for a sec. "Load out" woodsman speak for "here's my gear!"
Oh man, I love nerding out over gear!
Also, after 4 or 5 years of hunying..got my first-ever buck last week!! An eight-point!! So happy. 😊😊
Awesome! Congrats Ben!
Very helpful video! Love that bowl. I will have to get a couple for my hubby and myself when we hunt and camp. The chair next to you is awesome!
Thanks for watching. Yes, the bowl is awesome.
You made great use of that little pack! Main bag is only 2200ci but with the 2 spotting scope pockets adds another 1200ci so 3400ci total and you have alot of gear!! Great video!! I would recommend stuffing your sleeping bag in the bottom of pack without the stuff sack it will fill all the air pockets in the pack and be protected alot better!
Good point. Thanks for watching Rich!
Good to see TH-camrs exploring this part of our Great Country! Keep up the good work!!!
It was awesome!
Great video. Again! Very informative and natural. Not overly stated or anything. Good, down to earth information. Alway s enjoy.
Thanks David!
Another great video, Allie . Really enjoyed watching. You do carry a lot of stuff. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe cause I want to keep watching your videos. Yes, I am selfish.
Thanks Jerry!
You can get a really good backpack cover for under $20
Hope y’all have a great time , be safe , be smart . Above all else make it fun
Thanks David!
I totally appreciate the fact that you don't really seem to worry much about your gear but I gotta say that just from the looks of it you could really up your enjoyment factor with just a few additional item or with some improvements on what you have.

Yes, sometimes. Any suggestions?
Hope you three have good weather and a great hike on the AT. You should carry a fixed blade with sheath between your back and backpack were you can reach quickly! Fire starters, lighters, candles! Hope everyone has fun, be safe, check for ticks.
The weather was pretty good. We got lucky!
Great video I learned a lot have fun and enjoy and be self and take a lot of pictures glad you two are back in Pennsylvania
Thanks Ron! Lots of pictures to come.
Allie I am going to my place in tionesta all next week to work on my place

wow we used to drill a hole in a coin ( 1" coin) put our field tip through the hole and shoot rabbits without passing through
holy buckets. you fit more in that pack than i could fit in the back of my pickup for my elk hunt.
hahahahhaha
I live near a bear preserve. mostly hike and camp in that area. I don't hang my food either. never had a problem. "yet" ! that filter fits on a smart water or coke bottle if you didn't know ? i'd ditch that heavy nalgene bottle.
Yes, it does. Might have to do that!

Hi Allie, nice change of pace in this video. I hope you took camera gear so we will get to see some hiking footage and maybe meet your mom and sister.
Thanks Dale! You'll see it soon!
That's awesome bet it's going be fun trip!!!! There is a big part of it we're we hunt In bland county VA !!! Loved the bag dump great tools for back pack trip !! Love down bags and jackets and pillows

Where did you get your dish/bowl? I love it!
There's a link in the description. I love them. Thanks for watching!
Your being worried about other humans is a good thing. Becareful out there , and safe travels
Thanks Mike!

Thanks for the tips Curt. I did not fill my tag, but Nick and Joe both did. Video is up on the channel.
Yep seen the video but it didn't say anything about you ...
Might be worth considering motorcycle or quad bike camping if you can't backpack but still want the adventure or challenge of being forced to only take what you need, its kind of the middle ground between backpacking and car camping.
Where did you get that bowl from?? Awesome DUMP. Say no to ounce weenies hahah
LOL I have a link in the description!
Allie, where are you living right now?
Will you tell us what you will be wearing?
I have some links in the description. Mostly merino wool.
My town borders the AT in PA and you’re saying it correctly.
very interesting and I love the dog
Thats Miley!
Thanks for the informative video..new sub :)

So are you finished with the camper life now... great video there 👍

Got it!
Take me with you....

What trial?....trail
hahahahahahahahhaah oops
2nd place is first loser! Yes! Go me!
A for effort.
Nice!

It gets expensive fast.

@@GrottoGroveGroves Interesting. This is obviously a Native American name. I wonder what they were called back then as a whole or in sections.
you know what Daniel , listened again. I messed up, we say it the first way. I must have heard wrong the first time sorry. your right.

You pronouced it perfectly. I dont know anyone who says appalachian the 2nd way.

You might rethink packing a gun. Better to have one and not need it, than to need it and not have one.
Be prepared

Your from Pittsburgh so of course you've been saying Appalachian right. I hate jagoff's say it wrong.
hahahahahah
i like you a lot... :)

You might learn from real backpackers and lighten your load, nearly everything you have is overweight and can be lighter
