GSMNP adventure to campsite 18

We took Chestnut Top trail to Schoolhouse Gap trail. Then we walked across the bridge on Laurel Creek rd to take Bote Mountian trail to the West Prong trail. We camped at campsite 18. It’s a very nice campsite. I took the West Prong trail out to my car the next morning. Jerry and Joe stayed another night to hike over to Cades Cove.

All that snow is absolutely beautiful!

Sutherland Outdoors Thanks. After working in the snow the day before, I was ready to get rid of it. LOL

Oh man.... Excellent adventure.... After watching your adventure... It just reinforces my thoughts on the truck camper!! Haha!! I love tagging along with you through the use of this awesome KZbin!! Thanks, Scott!!

[@SalineScott]

BillGoudy Thanks, Bill. Yeah. The truck would have been a lot warmer. Lol. I’ve got to get caught up on some of your videos. I’m not on here as much anymore.

Beautiful time to be in the Smokies! Looked like a great trip! Some nice harmonica tunes in this one! Thanks for sharing!

[@SalineScott]

Kentucky Woodsman Thanks, Chris. It was a great trip. I enjoyed playing, “Nothing but the blood of Jesus.”

[@SalineScott]

Hike with Mike Thanks, Mike. I am running behind on watching all these other videos. I have seen a few of yours, but haven’t commented. I have had a lot of life changes lately, and I don’t have the time like I used to.

Snow and sunshine and Saline - gotta be a good trip with that combination.

[@SalineScott]

Sidney Hornblower It was a great trip. Thanks for coming along.

[@flyrodhiker8326]

Great to see you back out on the trail!

[@SalineScott]

Fly Rod Hiker Oh man. It’s great to be back out on the trail.

[@CarolinaChrisOutdoors]

Was there any "uphill" sections??? HA HA HA!!!!!!! Looked like fun. I never hiked or camped in the snow before. Peanut butter tortillas... easy to make, that's for sure!!!!

[@SalineScott]

Carolina Chris Outdoors Jerry is a hoot to hike with. He cracks me up with the uphillllll. Lol. Snow isn’t my favorite to hike or camp in, but it does make it interesting.

Looks like a nice trip Brother!I was digging your bamboo poles too!

[@SalineScott]

Couch2Trail KZbin Channel Thanks, John. I’ve broken several aluminum trekking poles, so I finally gave up on buying them and just made some out of the bamboo.

[@CalvinsCorner72]

Wow what an awesome trip great editing brother. Love them walking sticks too. You don’t know how awesome it is for you to have your own music in your videos that sets you apart brother.

[@SalineScott]

Calvin's Corner72 Thanks, Calvin. Ive broken several trekking poles, so I finally said forget it, I’m making my own. Lol. I’ve got to get caught up on watching some videos. I haven’t been watching any lately. I’ll have to give you a call and catch up with you sometime too.

[@strickysbackpackingadventures]

Hey buddy. Nice trip. Definitely cinch the ends of that under quilt tight. When it gets that cold, ANY air that seeps in there will make you cold. Thanks for sharing and stay warm. 😊

[@SalineScott]

stricky’s backpacking adventures I had it cinched right when I go in. I think I just need another small layer... Like my down throw. I’ll take it next time it’s that cold. It wasn’t that bad though.

[@bahamajim1998]

I'm camping for my bday next month and I'm putting stick on hot hands on hammock. Fantastic video sir Scott!!

[@SalineScott]

Bahama Jim I like that stick on idea. I could have used those last night.

[@moondiver8652]

great vlog 👍

[@SalineScott]

Thank you. We had a great time

[@cabinman]

I would have frozen solid...but that does look like a good setup. I just sleep cold. The past 2 weekends I have slept in below 20 in my Ridgerunner, it was 17 last night about 9, and doubled my insulation to stay warm. The snow was awesome friday!

[@SalineScott]

2Tiedup Oh wow. I cannot believe you camped out in that snow Friday. That is awesome. Sounds like it got colder there than it did here.

[@JohnnyontheTrail]

That’s the first Backcountry CS that I took my son to. He loved it.

[@SalineScott]

Johnny on the Trail I think that was the nicest campsite I have stayed at in the Smoky’s

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Man, I've been jonesing for a Saline video and this helps temporarily. I'm going to need some more vids when the effect of this one wears off.

[@SalineScott]

Adventure Outdoors Lol. Thanks, man. Maybe I can get one in soon.

@@SalineScott Don't sweat it Brother! I have been slipping on my videos as well. The weather and life in general has had me held back. Sounds like your harmonica playing is evolving in a good direction. Keep up the good work!

jerryj bloodworth Thanks, Jerry. I’ll be going somewhere in the Smoky’s on Friday, March 27. I’ll keep in touch with you and let you know if you want to go.

[@CampfireSteveOutdoors]

Man, you guys seem to have similar adventures to my ragtag crew. Gone the wrong way on a trail a few times as well. That campsite looked amazing though, only I can't figure out why anyone stays there when that white stuff is still on the ground. Sorry, that's the Florida side speaking out. Just a thought, SOL makes an emergency sleeping bag now that promises to wick moisture away. I have the older model, which saved me from hypothermia one spring campout when I just had a tee shirt and nylon pants when a front rolled through. By morning, I was damp with sweat though. I was thinking the new edition may be able to replace bulkier stuff.

[@SalineScott]

Campfire Steve Yeah... that white stuff seemed to be too cold. Lol. I got cold that night. It woke me up a few times. I’ve got a SOL emergency bivvy. It gets condensation in it though. It would work in an emergency though.
