Gear FAILS & Weather Wrecks? How To Tackle Trail! (Pine Mountain Scenic Trail)

[@michaelwatts2221]

Merle (your shuttle driver) is the goat! He is a real deal trail angel. Never found a better view for a campsite than Swindell. Love that place

[@JeremiahStringer]

No doubt!

[@SouthernHike]

You hyped this video so much on the podcast I was ready to see it! Great trip and edit man!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thanks, Taylor! Had a blast on it

[@DMSAdventures]

Great trip! Weather certainly makes any adventure more... adventurous. You got a little bit of everything. Love the voice over format! Gear failures are no fun!!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Awesome video. Love how you put this together. Always have a blast hanging out with you. That wind was insane!!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thanks, dude! Had a great time with you as always. Super fun time meeting Scott and hanging out

[@DryBonesOutdoors]

I like the addition of narration. I don't know if you remember me mentioning this trail to you when we spoke over zoom or not, but this is a trail I have to get on in 2023!!! Those views are amazing and you done a great job capturing them.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Really appreciate it!! Don't remember us talking about it specifically, but I highly recommend it! You'll love it

[@kyridgejumper]

Glad you all gave eastern Kentucky some love finally Great video

[@JeremiahStringer]

Was a great time

[@kat.p.b.5193]

Great video! Thanks for taking us along😊

[@JeremiahStringer]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@joeruschau3293]

I totally enjoyed your video! One of your best. Keep ‘‘em coming

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thank you :D Will do

[@fernwogteveril6935]

Jason with a freeze dried meal? I'm calling the cops. 👮

[@JeremiahStringer]

He brings them from time to time lol

[@atgirl]

You do great video edits. A lot of people show their heads as they hike and we never see the views. Also great job on the voice over and music. You are really good at trip videos...u need to do more 🙃

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thank you! I really appreciate it. They are fun, but don't perform very well sometimes lol

[@markcummings6856]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@camillewandelt2932]

Good to see you out on the trail again!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Was a blast

[@markcummings6856]

Great video, great trip. Would love to see more of your Trips, videos. Happy New Year

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thanks, you too!

[@Qb7deepsea]

Awesome video! Those views were fantastic. Had the same sort of mist clearing happen to me at Turkey Spur in New River Gorge a few weeks back. It's wild to watch. Also, now I want filet mignon...

[@JeremiahStringer]

Lol thank you. Get you a steak 🙌

[@DetraDearmas]

Great trip!!!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Had an awesome time

[@outdooradventureswithshane3319]

Looks like a pretty cool trail. GO HAWKEYES!!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Lol Go Cats!

[@outdooradventureswithshane3319]

Crazy thing is I have no idea who will win that game or who is even playing for the Hawkeyes as a bunch of our players entered the transfer portal or a few hurt. Hell I'll have to print off the roster as I'm sure I'll be who the hell is that guy!! Lol! I'm sure Kentucky is the same way

[@tangenttrails]

Cool trip. 40mph wind gusts in a hammock. Sounds interesting.🤔

[@JeremiahStringer]

Lol that’s one way to describe it

[@JourneyontheTrail]

Great trip video!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thank you!

[@OutLan]

Man, I’ve got to do this trail!

[@JeremiahStringer]

Gotta get out there to it. It's a fun one

[@DaveOffGrid]

Sweet voice over work dude! Were your hammocks swaying all night in that wind?

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thank you, Dave! My hammock was good, but tarp was blowing hard

[@_crane_7475]

Is there anyway you could share that trail map with all the points of interest? I would love to do the trail and see the sites in the video.

[@_crane_7475]

@@JeremiahStringer Thanks Jeremiah! I really appreciate it! I love your videos. Maybe one day I'll see you on trail. Happy Trails y'all!

[@neilquinn]

What caused the hammock strap to fail? Which suspension system were you using?

[@JeremiahStringer]

I think it got twisted in the buckle and that caused it to come apart

[@davidshirley6850]

Another great video, on the speaker do you know if it's beach proof, wife wants one but worried about sand

[@JeremiahStringer]

IP x7 rating so I think that’s pretty good water proof but the x stands for dust proof so maybe not great if it’s getting a ton of sand in it, but should be fine

[@BURZUM__]

What brand camp chair was Jason using?

[@JeremiahStringer]

He’s using a get out gear chair

[@lisajones8730]

Who makes your ball cap Jeremiah ? I love it !!! Great video ❤️

[@JeremiahStringer]

I got it at a gift shop at Cumberland Falls State Park. Looks like it’s made by DUCKCO

[@GlacierPilotGst]

Who made the chair that broke?

[@JeremiahStringer]

Get out gear

[@georgecrosby2549]

The strap failure is concerning... happened twice??? I have the same dutchware straps for almost 6 years now. Maybe I should preemptively replace them, maybe continuous loops too. Scary.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Agreed

[@JackaldaJester]

Hey Jeremiah, I hear you talking about a "shuttle driver" a bunch. Is this just a friend of yalls or is that a service for some places?

[@JeremiahStringer]

On this trip we hired someone to shuttle us. Usually you can contact whatever organization that is in charge of maintaining the trail you are hiking and they can give you good resources of who to call

[@JackaldaJester]

@@JeremiahStringer that's great to know, thank you!

[@jamesfarley8315]

After watching your and Jason’s videos, wanting to backpack this trail! I always enjoy your hikes and gear reviews. Could you put me in touch with your shuttle for this hike?

[@JeremiahStringer]

@@jamesfarley8315 send me an email and I’ll get you his number. [e-mail]

[@fernwogteveril6935]

WHAT'S UP HIKERS!!!!!!

[@JeremiahStringer]

What up?!?

[@TsugaCanadensis1979]

...Pound Gap... 🤣🤣🤣 OMG. What a great name!!! Sounds like someplace you stop with your GF! 🤣🤣🤣

[@JeremiahStringer]

😂😂

[@hikingmovie]

Too lucky to get video of a deer below the deer stand. LOL.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Lol didn’t have my rifle

[@JamesSmith-or2ut]

everything cool! except the music...

[@JeremiahStringer]

Thank you

[@jeffreyharris525]

😊 'promosm'!

[@JeremiahStringer]

:D

[@nickname6747]

Cool trip, Jeremiah! Especially when the mist cleared to see the views; awesome! Do the trees ever end (must be a common site in the US, but not something we ever see in the UK)? Thanks for uploading.🇺🇸⛰👍

[@JackaldaJester]

I can tell you, as a person who grew up around the Appalachian mountains, there are plenty of places like that. A reason I love our mountains is because they are covered in green.

[@JeremiahStringer]

Not a very densely populated area over in the mountains so trees as far as you can see
