We've headed 7 hours northwest of Austin to the Texas Panhandle for a couple weekend adventures in our van. And first up: the gorgeous Caprock Canyons State Park!
We spent a weekend hiking out to a primitive campsite and sleeping in the canyon for a night (in CRAZY wind), which was....an experience 😂 , hiking one of the best trails in the park, and seeing tons of bison!

⬇️ Watch our Texas Vlogs ⬇️ kzbin.info/aero/PLZKRTK1yCEM4vqN0o21kVtlV7VpiAwOz3 Safety is our #1 priority and we want to stress that this adventure, and all future adventures, will be done responsibly and with the health of others in mind. Here are the steps we are taking everyday, including in these videos: 😷Masks and face coverings. We wear these anytime we are near others outside and especially indoors. If we don’t have a mask on in a video, it’s 99% because there was no one around. ❌Not seeing anyone outside of our household. We are currently living with 4 family members and have a strict “do not see anyone outside of the household” family policy. The only interactions we have with others is quickly grabbing takeout or going to the grocery store. ⏰ Exploring early. We have been starting most of our days before sunlight so we can limit our interactions. 🧼 Washing and sanitizing our hands 6️⃣ Keeping our distance. We are trying to stay at least 6 ft from others, which truthfully isn’t always possible (and then we make sure we cover our face).

This is hands down my favorite episode that y'all have done, yet. We do a lot of camping, but I have never done a hike-in camping trip yet, and it's on my bucket list. I've been slowly building my gear for it. I've got that same burner you used with the orange bottom, and the orange case. I've seen a lot of videos of Caprock Canyons, and I love Buffalo, so we will hopefully be visiting this park in the next year. Thanks for being such an inspiring couple of campers.

This means a ton to us! We had a lot of fun filming this, mishaps and all lol! We have been wanting to do a hike in camping trip again for so long and were so glad the wind didn't fully stop us. Getting all of the gear is definitely a big investment, but we love that we can use all of it for traditional camping and backpacking. Or take some of the items (like the burner you got) on hikes if we want to cook a meal midway through!

So beautiful! ❤️ Kona was so adorable in the tent, it looked like she was trying to clean the sand off you Kathryn! 🐶 I bet those hanging ferns look amazing in the summer... but you'd have the blistering heat to deal with!

Man if only we saw this video earlier! We just got back from Caprock yesterday. We set up in the EXACT same spot on top of that hill with the rainfly off (bc stars and view) and thought the wind would die down (about 20-25mph winds). They did not. Put the rainfly on. Got worse. Gale force winds collapsed our tent on top of us and we had so much dust in our eyes and tent that we just literally picked up our tent with everything in it and went down to about 20ft from your final spot seeking shelter from a 4ft tall bush in the riverbed. Could not recommend that riverbed enough. All that said, had an amazing time on the trails and seeing the unique nature there! Great video!

We really liked the views from South Prong too! And if you combine it with Haynes Ridge and North Prong it apparently makes the Upper Canyon Trail. We wish we could've swung by Lake Meredith. We almost were going to camp for free there!

Good eye! So far I love them both equally. I only replaced the Columbia because I got a big rip in the back and the pocket zipper broke and thankfully REI had a great sale! They are slightly different in terms of the material used to keep you warm, but they both have equally kept me warm during cold days, as well as fold up nice and compact! I know that is not helpful at all 😂
