Another great video. I am heading up tomorrow for 2 days to camp and fish in Tiadaghton State Forest. Pine Creek and Little Pine Creek. My favorite place to fish for trout. Also will ride the bike on the rail trail.

Looks like PA doesn't have the cicada invasion this year. Here in Illinois we have a lot! We went up to southern Wisconsin yesterday, by Kenosha, and there weren't any. Apparently they observe borders. Thanks for the camping video!!!

Hi Cliff I do enjoy the camping videos, here where I live in Alabama as a child I sat outside with my mom just to hear the Whippoorwill, I heard one maybe a month or so ago, my mom's favorite bird, I think I love all bird's, thanks Cliff i certainly enjoy your channel

I knew I should've sent you pot holders. My sons,daughter in law,grandson and I were camping for 4 days this past Thursday May 30. It was a great weekend cold at night but days were warm.There wasn't a lot of people, which we were surprised. The place we were had only about 8 campers. Ive had my trailer for 9 years now and I reorganize it every time I go,so don't feel bad about not being organized.The tent lights were cute. Dont you ever wear tennis shoes? Hey! I took that same Smokey Bear shirt camping but I didn't wear it. I took a little too much this time but I like to be prepared for anything. Loved this video as always. Sorry if this comment is a little long,but I'm just catching up on things. Safe travels. ❤❤❤❤❤

I had an experience in western Pennsylvania where the whip-poor-wills were a bit annoying. I think it was during mating season. They were calling all around the camp site most of the night.

I was raised in Greencastle. Every Summer and Fall we would be at Cowan’s Gap. You should do the back story of that place. It’s interesting.

Why don't you stay more than one night on your camping adventures? Also what do you leave in your jeep between camping excursions? Great video. I liked that you filmed packing up.
@unyieldingcreek14 ай бұрын
Wow! That is a massive camp area. The state parks we go to there is only a small pad area to put the tent. If you have more than one, you’re going to have some rough area.

At the top of the mtn there's an overlook. Before reaching the top, make a left. There's a parking area, but you can keep going up a gravel road to a round about that you can look out over the valley. We saw our 1st rattle snake on the way back in the gravel road. Got a few pictures. Will be going there in July.

Enjoy your videos, but I dont get eating dehydrated food when car camping. Even canned food is way better and less expensive, but I stick to fresh meats, fruits and veggies and generally cook on the fire so no dishes to clean.

It makes sense on a multi day backpacking trip, but I would disagree, some of it is tolerable at best. It’s not calorie dense and it’s expensive. He probably has companies mail it to him, that’s why he eats it.

You never cook real food, when you go camping, you only eat highly processed, foods, I think they call those packages, that you eat, MRE'S. I never see you with like a, Colman Cook Stove, or a Charcoal Grill, or a Gas Grill, cooking real food.
