Max Patch and Bluff Mountain - Pisgah National Forest, NC

[@RVAHikerGirl]

It's tough hiking in the heat. But then add some climbs and it can be brutal. Thanks for all the factual info in this video.

Thanks Jason, I'll be posting videos more frequently now that I've learned the basics of my editing software.

I found your channel last night and I’m very impressed with your knowledge of the mountains! Amazing! In terms of the Google Earth map you showed, how do I find the trails? Also, do you study the maps in order to learn all the mountains? I drove from Franklin to Mt. Airy on the backroads and it was amazing! I would appreciate it if when you have time to respond. I have so many trips planned out now thanks thanks to you!

[@bigzach322]

Google Earth does not show trails like this. Usually you can only see roads and some forest roads. I import my GPS tracks into Google Earth and make virtual tour video captures. I own almost every map and guide book available for NC and study those a lot, that's how I remember the geography.

@@bigzach322 Thank you! I have an order in for maps. I believe I’ve watched your hike up to Mt. Mitchell 10 times. As soon as things settle down my way, I’m heading that way. You are a wealth of information! Thank you!

The only snake that looks similar that I could find is an Eastern Milksnake

[@carlotta4441]

do you carry bear spray with you Zach or would you recommend doing that ?

[@bigzach322]

No I don't, and I don't think anyone needs to carry it here.
