... Nice day on trail .. streams and rivers a scenic spots but also game trails for the wildlife ... to avoid interactions that you don't want through the night , it's recommended to camp at least 200 ft. From water sources ... a late night romp of chipmunks and squirrels can sound like a herd of wild animals when you are trying to sleep .... and the bugs,, mosquitoes can be extreme near water .... also the posibility of creek rising in heavy rains while you sleep and flooding your tent site ... ... "Well ,, that was boring " ...lol .. .. Got to listen to trail medic Little Bear ,, need to drink lots of water while using those bodies ,,, drink a sip here and there all day ,, all along the hike , prevents lots of issues .... 'they say' if you wait until you're thirsty ,, you're past body needs ... .. love hearing Little Bear let the thoughts roll as they come .. she's sharp and has wonderful wit ... Stay Safe and God Bless ...

Please be careful camping near a small stream. They can grow into a river fast. I not say the one in your video would but I grew up in the mountains and we had a small stream behind our house. But sometimes when it rain it would flow like a river.

I can confirm this. I once almost got swept down the West Branch of the Peabody River in NH when it rose almost 5 feet overnight. When I woke up it was 6 inches below the bank. This was at Dolly Copp campground.

@@RobertSmith-km6gi The reason I brought it up was on US 27 south side of a little town in Tenn. called Rockwood. A Boy Scout Troop was camping by a creek called Whites Creek. That night a storm came up and the creek rose killing some of the Scouts. They put up a marker of what had happened.

I'm glad to hear prepper had such a good outcome, and that he's spreading awareness. Open wounds are no joke, and too many people don't take them seriously enough. I lost a colleague a few years ago to stepping on a coral at the beach. The doctors missed a piece of it that broke off in his foot, and he got sepsis and passed away a couple weeks later. Anyway, new sub here and really enjoying your updates! Little Bear is so impressive. A lot of adults hike, but so many kids these days camp out on their screens. Best of luck to you both and I look forward to seeing you reach Katahdin. Happy Mama's Day!

The chef really puts some love into those breakfasts. ❤ Happy Mothers Day, and congratulations on 400 miles!!🎉🎉🎉 I loved the waterfalls very beautiful. It amazes me how loud water can be. Even a trickle in a stream can be loud sometimes. Must be that God wants you to know where a water supply is. You guys have inspired me to get out and hike. I used to hike a lot. But I need a hip replacement and walk with just one crutch to get around. I need to kinda lean so a cane doesn't work really well. Anyway, my daughter, grandson, and I went for an almost 2 mile hike on an area of the Ice Age Trail near our town. It took about 40 minutes or so, but I did it. My plan is to work up the miles comfortably, to be able to take my 6 grandsons, 8,9,10,11,12,15 on a 10 mile hike on the Ice age Trail. There's a nice campground around 5 miles to stop and camp. Other family members will have camp set up and bring food, so we're not carrying a bunch.Im excited. Great job, Bears!! You're doing great!❤ ✌️🫶

Pure love and compassion! My highlights were the birds singing their hearts out, the water falls and Little Bear quickly setting your tent up. Great job Little Bear! Rain, rain, rain….bummer but life isn’t all sunshine and roses. You both will endure I’m sure of that. Love and light to both. When the rain gets to be to much just start singing songs about the rain. Ready… I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain What a glorious feelin', I'm happy again I'm laughin' at clouds so dark up above The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face I walk down the lane with a happy refrain Just singin', singin' in the rain. 🐱🧸🐻⛰️🥾💧☔️🌧️♥️👍🙂↕️
