Persistence indeed. Seems prudent to understand one's water sources before consuming. I was hiking through farmland and there was no filtering anything for me. I found a gas station and bought what I needed. Anyway, hoping the final stage brings some easier miles.

Was that hurricane Debbie threatening your hike?
@downtoearthadventures152811 күн бұрын
No it wasn't hurricane Debbie. This hike was much earlier in the year.

The nature sounds your recording are amazing. What are you recording with?
@downtoearthadventures152811 күн бұрын
Thanks! I always record audio on a separate device from the camera so I can get better environmental sounds, and I record in wave audio for better quality. I'm using a Zoom H1 recorder with Roland CS-10EM Binaural Microphones.

Thanks! This hike was on 4th of July weekend, and it was very crowded on the trail leading up to Marcy. But once I got past the peak, then I saw very few people after that.

Great 1st day but man that is a lot of growth on the trail. I haven't hiked this area yet but have heard stories of Red Mo. It's crazy how that shows up on the google earth view.

Wow the trails have been designed for toddlers to hike. None of this was around in the 1980's. Wonder if park service located the lean-to we built. Probably dismantled/burned. Trail to and up Marcy, was very rugged and swampy. Made too easy for today's relaxed hikers.

Good call...again. Love that feature where your camera follows you around. Was sad to hear that Waymark packs went out of business.

Did that hike in May of 22, had a beautiful day. But definitely not a trail I would want to be on in the rain. Like you said live to hike another day. Are you aware that there is a plane wreckage about .2 miles past stoppel point?

Awesome video. I'm surprised it got down to 42 F at night. Going in third week of August (2024). Looks like drinking water is fairly easy to come upon throughout the area?

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Water was not a problem (except for muddy trails and sketchy water crossings), but yes it got chilly at night, and no campfires allowed. But still absolutely worth it!

The view from those lookouts was gorgeous as any I've ever seen. The Catskills are wilder than their reputation. I hope more people decide to leave NYC for good and settle in the Catskills permanently. It would be nice to see the place make a comeback.

Thanks for the awesome walkthrough! I've been doing easier overnight hikes from Caledonia up to Big Flat Tower and back for the past few Springs. Another, nice scenic route I like, if you want to make it a little more of a loop or have more campsite options, is to cut off onto Greenwood Rd. to Beaver Trail (around the huge lake) to Rocky Knob trail. Rocky Knob has some really nice, piney, open spots to camp. You do miss the Quarry Gap shelter etc. which is a highlight of this section, but you get a little more variety of Michaux.

Thank you for posting this video! I'm hiking it starting this Sunday and on the fence on whether I want to use my new Lone Peak 7s or the Topo Trailventure 2's I used last year. It looks like there's not much in the way of bouldering or rocky climbs - is that accurate? The Lone Peaks are notoriously bad at gripping wet rock, and it's going to rain a bunch.
@downtoearthadventures15284 ай бұрын
You are correct, there's not much bouldering or rocky climbs on this trail. Just be careful crossing those streams though. I had to learn the hard way. LOL

You make great videos man and i hope to see more of your adventures, i was thinking of going up Algonquin through the avalanche path and you showed me just how bad it is, not a trail you would want to go down on and if you plan to go up need good hiking shoes.
@RobertSmith-km6gi4 ай бұрын
I hiked Algonquin many years ago from the other direction and returned via the Avalanche Lake catwalk along the cliff side. Too bad you missed that as it’s very beautiful. I did most of my hiking in the White Mountains and in the Mt. Kahtadin area. Your cinematography and editing are excellent and I especially liked how you edited out the selfie stick and camera. I’d never seen anyone else do that. Happy trails!
