Ha! I never stretch either! Great views. I’d rather go uphill than down any day - it’s harder on the knees going downhill. But I know that with every downhill comes an uphill not too much later. I agree with Pinkeye, I have always been hyper-aware of the sounds at night and I typically don’t sleep well on trail. But I’m finding the more often I tent, the better I sleep. I’m actually sleeping better without the air mattress. That was a great hike!! Thanks for bringing us along! 👍
I always slide off the air pads. Right now I just tuck my little butt pad right under my tailbone and I'm good for the night...Thanks for watching, Sweeps!
muffin bomb for breakfast lol.we been doing dehydrated cake for breakfast lately till i dehydrate more muffins lol.great video like the camp shots and interaction with camera
Nice views! Love the Bondcliff image on your channels homepage, thats a hike I have to make again the Bonds are so great. Anyway, glad I found your channel and I'm looking forward to your future episodes! Cheers!
Great video. I know the feeling of long drives then jump right on trail. Agree with pink eye. I hate decents (knees). I hope to be doing a solo in a couple weeks in the Smokys also.
Always worth the drive. My rule of thumb is that as long as I'm hiking longer than I'm in the car- I'll go. Never been to the smokies, any must sees? Thanks for watching!
@@HawkeyeHikes Good theory! I don't think you can go anywhere in the Smokys & not be wowed. I have a 3 part video from last May on my channel. Love Charlie's Bunyun. I'm going to try to stick to higher elevations this time of year just for the cooler factor.
Muffin bombs are now my go to breakfast. Quick, delicious and loaded with carbs. Ourworldoutdoors has a lot of great recipes. I'm trying to get out of the same boring trail foods. Thanks for watching!
Wife and I are going on our first hike and we want to do this loop. We are coming from Chicago do you know if there is an airport with car rentals near there or would it be better to just drive there?
Awesome trip you both had. Thanks for taking us along.
Perfect weather, no mosquitos, no ticks. The trifecta! Thanks for checking it out!!
Beautiful forest with some incredible views. Fun stuff my friend.
Great trip all around. Plan to head back in the Fall for peak foliage. Thanks for watching!!
You two making it look easy 👍 can't wait to see the next hike
She's in shape so it's easy for her. It's only my pride that keeps me going.. lol.Thanks for checking it out!
just did this trail... rained the whole time, and it was my first time backpacking, quite the experience... I def think downhill is for me lol

Hawkeye Hikes Great idea!! I’ll try it next time!
Me and my buddies liked this hike a lot we hiked it the opposite way, and it was pretty tough especially for a newb like me.
Awesome video brother!! I really like your style🤙

It's great. I can't wait to get back. Cool channel btw!

Good eye! That is one of my most memorable and favorite hikes! Glad you found the channel!
Great video ! It looks nice out there. I've never been.
I LOVE the climbs !
The Pemi is my stomping grounds !!! One of my favorite places in the world !
If you're ever out this way again , give me a shout...
@@ItsGoodintheWoods I can't wait to go back! Didn't do the whole loop but I will next time!

@@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD we will watch the 3 parter tonight! Thanks!
Awesome hike... I prefer up... I have bad knees (the left knee being prosthetic) and down is a killer
Definitely more bouncing on the way down. Thanks for watching, max!
Nice video can you show us in future videos the white blaze marks on the trees as you go? Was their a blaze mark telling you to cross the rocks?
Nice video! I prefer going uphill....the downhills kill my left knee (torn meniscus). Like your style.
Seems to be the consensus. I'm alone in my principles haha. Thanks for watching!
How was the muffin bomb? I've been wanting to try it after watching the video from our world outdoors. Another scenic trip.. thank you.
