Camping Raccoon Creek State Park, PA ~ Thrunite TH02 Review

[@randomadventures2.0]

Cliff nice camp set up.

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

Oh wow! That was a magnificent Tom turkey!

[@tyesoutherland4618]

love these camping outings with the woodsman. Thx for sharing.

We had a 3 room tent at one time, I remember us setting it up at 1:00am using headlights for lighting. We woke to squirrels throwing pinecones at our tent. My brother left his bagels out and the Chipmunks got to them, I covered up stuff because they will also eat TP and Paper towels. I was fixing Breakfast Burritos and a Chipmunk reached into the skillet and got him some breakfast too 🥰🌹🤣

[@cynthiaarnold5807]

We used to feed the chipmunks at the hospital I worked at lunch time. They loved French fries. We had them here at home but the stray kitties took care of them. Haven't seen any lately.

[@joseleswopes1400]

We had a big fan Prairie Dog at the VA in the Picnic Area that our kids would feed Popcorn to.🌹Then up at the family cabin in Gunnison Colorado we had a Chipmunk that would come to the wood pile by the door. I would give him Bread and Tortillas 😁 I named him Buddy. When we would go fishing at Pagosa Springs Colorado my husband would be sitting there trying to fish and this one Chipmunk would just jabber away at him 😁

Ontario here greetings to all fellow woodsmen thank you Cliff

[@karlsteingall6832]

Looks like you’d benefit from a partner to join you on some of your adventures. It would make the filming and camp setups and removal’s much easier!

[@alexandria8255]

just like chickens ...they like to sit in the ashes...it helps with the lice. we used to put ashes in the hen house in a boxed off corner for the chickes to dust off in.

[@TheDaubSquad]

Hey! Raccoon Creek is right down the road from us (sort of). Glad to have you in Westsylvania. Our state is huge and diverse!

[@saddletramp6935]

There used to be an old water tower just above D loop. Some not so nice people would shot holes into it with guns. The maintenance man ( most likely Tommy ) would have to climb up and fill the holes by pounding wooden plugs into them. The wood would swell and stop the leak. The were torn down for safety reasons and were no longer needed as they switched to treated water made within the park ( lake water) my job for 25 years.

[@joseleswopes1400]

Tuna Melt with Jalapeno Cheese is Awesome 😎

[@reneereb6499]

Roasted Turkey dinner 🍽

[@aztrails1]

Powdered mushrooms? Next time pack the mystical variety Dude...that will really send you wandering and enjoying those colorful dancing flames. Cheers.

[@Julie-ms9ss]

This video was perfect. Brings back great memories of tent camping and cooking on the campfire. That turkey was living dangerously, to sit right in the campfire pit. Thanks for an excellent job. I really enjoyed this.

[@robertvirtue8070]

Cliff thanks for bringing back a great memory for me. Back in 1961 my family camped there on our first night on our trip to SD and Colorado. We had a 9x9 canvass umbrella tent. The canvass air mattresses my sister and I had to blow up with a foot pump. Camping gear has come along ways.

[@kateclark7250]

Thank you for taking folks camping. Very pleasant. Compensates for your crazy day.

[@nobillclinton]

many fond memories of 'D' loop. back in the day, the racoons would mob us after dark. . .had to keep all food stuffs locked in the truck. Racoon St pk would be pretty packed with folks. Thank you for sharing your 'wanderings' they are enjoyed very much by many.

[@cynthiaarnold5807]

Oh my goodness that Turkey. The irony of him sitting in a fire pit. He's a little early. We had turkeys attack the wheels on my car out at the Gap turning into the National Cemetery. We had to stop so we didn't hit one of them. The male turkey of the pack seen his image and attacked my wheels. The rest of the turkeys surrounded us. There is a group of 11 or so that roost in that area. We let him do his attack and we blew the horn to get him to go away. He chased us down the drive into the Cemetery. Crazy turkeys. I love watching them. You were lucky to have his company and he was lucky to have met and be filmed by the Wandering Woodsman.

[@cynthiaarnold5807]

Oh yeah we love your camping videos.

[@stephaniepersin4145]

Closest State Park to me. 8,000 acres a few miles over Allegheny County line.

[@willmears1111]

We loved the many times we went to Raccoon State Park when we lived around Pittsburgh. Some day visits, some camping, and some swimming and wonderful campfires. Your journeys are excellent.

[@dandavid3623]

Nice video. Welcome to Beaver County. Raccoon Park is a great spot. Hillman Park is nice also, just a lot less developed.

[@mh-im2kq]

I was captivated the whole time of this video ..thanks so much for letting us do the whole day and into the next morning... Loved it

[@tangara7166]

Don't miss Meadowcroft Rock Shelter while you're out that way. It might be a while before you get back out that way.

[@adventureswithnubby]

On the weekends it will be busier than the weekdays. you are right on the flight line for one of the runways. Raccoon Creek is one of my favorite places to go get away. I'm real close to the park

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

Love this Turkey im Nature Lover

[@superditdit48]

The turkey in the pit! LOL. While you were sitting in your new comfy chair by the fire- I was hoping someone in your audience will send you a nice Granny Shawl for you. :)

[@cliveashley9364]

Beautiful ♥️ camping area😄 nice 👍 enjoying fr jamaica 🇯🇲🌞🏖️😎

[@allygee5468]

Yes great video looks an idyllic spot Cliff but you've made me hungry so off to get my breakfast now 😀

[@user-David-Alan]

Sunrise and the birds were awesome. Hope you got some rest. Take care and be safe.

[@matthewschleicher9419]

Nice flashlight bright light whole woods

[@troycorso503]

Great video as always. Spend a lot of time both in Raccoon and Hillman state park! Both a 15/20 minute drive from my home. Nice little gems. Would have loved to show you around those, covered bridges were a 10 minute walk from my childhood home!

[@RunawayGranny]

Good video, looking forward for the next one

[@swissmissy3804]

The sandwich looks awesome

[@kathleenhannigan2487]

If I had known you were there, I would have brought you fire wood. It is very busy in the summer. Camping, swimming, fishing, people checking out the flower reserve area and touring the building there. Picnics, volleyball on the beach area, family reunions, and boating. Renting one of the bikes there for on the water is also fun. We just about lived there when raising our family. Boy, the fish we ate out of that lake was delicious! If you can get hold of some Postum for drinking, that is good. I get mine from Amazon. I bought those fire colors for my kids at x-mas. They went camping this past weekend....hope they had a chance to use it. Glad you didn't run into any of our bears. Plenty of turkeys, deer, coyotes, and critters galore around these parts. This is your best video yet!

[@glennjudd2467]

It is beautiful ! Had old friends that lived in beaver County! When they where alive they always told me how beautiful where they where raised ! Definitely a great place ! Cliff !

[@bertkelly7650]

Yes, I have the Jackery 240 also but with solar panels. After a night of use, you have to charge the next day. You can charge while driving since you don't have solar. You can charge it faster by plugging in your inverter and plug in your ac brick and charge like that also. Nice park!

[@barbaraharshman9460]

Cliff I feel you about Pittsburgh! I try to avoid it as much as possible! Like the campground better! Thank you!

[@charlesdague9064]

Pittsburgh ❤

[@bruinsfan8278]

Bet the Tom Turkey was watching his Hens nest probably grass and weeds over grew in the fire bit, They moved in ! Didnt you have tuna melts last time camping ? Awesome choice!!

[@dgrombach1]

We used to swim there, only free place there was. Wished I knew you were coming, we could of met up. I live near the airport.

[@dgrombach1]

Yes Moon Twp

[@williambeers4775]

Cliff really like all your adventures , glad to see you doing a drip coffee instead of instant . I and Consumer Report recommend an Aero Press coffee press . use at home also . only makes one cup . have mine with sugar in the raw , it makes instant more palpable .

[@timpekarek9159]

IIIIIIIIIIIII wiiiiiiiiiiish IIIIIIIIIIIIII waaaaaaaaaaas caaaaaaaaaaampiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kathleenhannigan2487]

I would suggest making some little baggies of dried fruits Rasins appricots prunes cranberries, and nuts almonds walnuts etc....to add to your oatmeals. Good energy and nutrition.

[@aprilscarl5010]

I go to our state parks for the nature camping. Irritates me when campers think that it’s a party spot. There are quiet hours and a NO Alcohol rule in Pa State Parks

[@thankyou-zu4nz]

You were 3 miles from bells mills covered bridge in Madison

[@debbiehills2928]

ha. to each his own! i could live there! nothing like camping in the wild. enjoy.

[@debbiehills2928]

yummy!!!

[@debbiehills2928]

nice fire.

[@jayforkner2692]

@@debbiehills2928 yea I was enjoying the fire, also.

[@cheryldoublosky4724]

Been watching you for years. Love your videos Cliff. I’ve been an herbalist for about 25 yrs and yes dandelion is good your you, but I never liked that coffee substitute. How did you like it? You never said in the video. Maybe I’ll try it again and maybe it’s an acquired taste. Hope your well and again love the videos. Good health.

[@colleenunvarnished]

This was great Cliff, thanks. I am looking at a Jackery for myself. Not certain I will buy, but it is on my radar screen.

[@colleenunvarnished]

@@AnnaBelle-sp9kq I have only spent 5 minutes researching and I do have something else (but it is old) and I am cheap. If Cliff did an in-depth review it would help me.

[@porkturtle8321]

@@colleenunvarnished I think I've heard him discuss more in depth in previous camping videos about the Jackery.

[@flammenwaffenfries3039]

Tuna melts are good

[@rollinrocks4561]

I have had dandelion tea, not bad. I think your addiction is the creamer. That stuff is really bad for you. Love the camping vids! How about a vid about the gear you carry for your day hikes?

[@debbiehills2928]

Thanks!

[@debbiehills2928]

thank you for the awesome video!!!

Wow Cliff the America i love n d country im in ireland I Must get moving 4 months bright left must B.

[@carolb29]

I was surprised to see the turkey eating gone to seed dandelions.

[@JoshBearheart]

Gonna be honest, I was secretly hoping the turkey would turn out to be a horror story line. Like, it disappears from the spot it was sitting in, then late in the night you hear spooky gobbling outside the tent, and it gets closer and closer. The story would have to end with you sitting around the table eating a Thanksgiving dinner in early June though 🤣 Awesome video, been enjoying your channel for a while now I just forget to comment. I am here in Ohio, right next door, maybe sometime we could meet up and collab on something! Take care!

[@charlesdague9064]

We are worried for you in that you do not clear loose leaves away from your fires.

Is it fort pit or Duquesne that's below the bridge? Across from point state park.

Both are in Point state park.

[@cynthiahansen9902]

Who is the person that goes out with you? We never see them on video. Like the ambition to go to as many State Parks as you can! That turkey was checking your camp site out! Thanks for the video.

[@wandaswavely2523]

He goes alone. He is amazing.

[@porkturtle8321]

What person? Is there any specific video you have in mind so we can figure out who you are referring too? He usually mentions and we can see who he is with if he is not alone, whether it be one of his friends or fellow KZbinrs.

were the colors from the packet or the mushroojs? haha. just kidding ya
