Mohican Solo Backpacking - Tarp Camping - Ohio Fall Overnighter

[@calvinmonroe2408]

So thanks for your video about it

[@TimWatsonOutdoors]

Site 10 is the bomb, perfect spot for a meet up I think. Also makes you feel like you're not in flat Ohio. 😂 That little lower site is really cool as well. I agree the stingers are awesome.

[@BryceNewbold]

Definitely the best site at Mohican. And your absolutely right, it does make you feel like your on a real mountain. lol. Great spot for a meet up, tons of tents / hammocks could fit in that area. You feeling a winter meetup? We could probably get a great group of guys there!

[@BlackHawk2029]

Site 3 is pretty dope, too. Big stone table to cook on.

[@calvinmonroe2408]

I like your choice of trails and campsites as thats great deer country

[@mijo91]

Yep me and my cousin loaded our backpacks and hiked for miles stayed over night it was amazing and also pitch black at night

[@racheltweedy1822]

We love Mohican! Have camped at 5, 9, and 10! We must have missed you balck friday! My husband and I day hiked 6 miles of equestrian and mountain bike trails from the dam to the covered bridge and back that day.

[@BryceNewbold]

Thats cool that you were out there the same day! I have camped at 9, 10, 3, 2, and this past weekend i stayed at camp 5 for the first time and got some snow! Im currently working on the video for that adventure so stop back soon! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jameschapman132]

Nice tip about the kiosk to reserve a spot.I have never been to Mohican. So I would have overlooked that.

[@BryceNewbold]

👍

[@stevem425]

The secret site of site 10 is now public, Damn you, lol nice video and new sub. here.

[@BryceNewbold]

Haha... my bad! Thanks for subbin!

[@PREPFORIT]

Good hike. That waffle stinger looks interesting. Great idea to know just the right amount of wood to use.

[@BryceNewbold]

One of those things i learned from not cutting enough. haha Thanks for watching!

[@OUTDOORS55]

Haha, I can hear it now, WHERES THE BACON! Fun trip, its fun getting lost sometimes😀

[@BryceNewbold]

Haha! I didnt want her to wake up and have her dreams of a gourmet breakfast crushed. Getting lost used to bother me but i agree, it spices things up a bit!

[@Quebeckerrful]

Came here because of joe robinet highlighted you. Enjoyed the video and subbed....

[@BryceNewbold]

Thank you!

[@mrdonelsonglhs]

Great trip and pics. I love site 10 as well ... been up there 3 times the last year and always enjoy it. Still have some video I need to post from the last one. I'm only an hour away as well. Maybe we'll see ya on the trail sometime. Guess I'll go cook some bacon .. watching made me hungry!!

[@BryceNewbold]

Mayb we will! Thanks again! I knew this would make some people hungry!

[@OutLan]

Awesome trip! Mohican is one I still haven’t backpacked. It’s only about two hours from my house. Now I’ve got to find site 10 and that trail. Might be a good winter overnight.

[@BryceNewbold]

Its definitely worth checking out! Great site for a winter overnighter. Let me know if you want some company if you do it!

[@PinetreeLine]

Awesome overnight my friend. Loved that spot you found to set up camp. Very scenic. Great video as always. Doug

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks Doug. It was probably my favorite solo trip yet even though i didnt cover many miles.

[@KillingerUSA]

Had no idea about the fire pit on site 10!!! I'll stay there next time I go! I'm only about an 1hr away from there as well.

[@BryceNewbold]

It was a really cool site. It was east of the main site at 10. Pretty much directly below where the "10" sign was that was in the video. Maybe we'll cross paths someday!

[@barbnewbold1794]

Beautiful! One of my favorites!!

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks Aunt!

[@sonofabear]

Awesome video. I used to live in Michigan and Illinois, so I love the scenry in the video. Gave you a sub.

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks man. Yea i hear its pretty flat out that way. haha. I'll have to check out your videos when i get a chance!

[@adventuresoffrostbeard4955]

You’re not a seasoned backpacker in Ohio until you’ve been lost at Mohican! Haha! Worst maps of anywhere I’ve hiked! Great video! Way to think it through and get back on trail!

[@BryceNewbold]

Haha! Absolutely! When i put the text in the video for "hemlock trail" i looked at the map and notcied there are no names on any trails. lol. The "wrong" trail i took actually is on the map, but didn't resemble the intersection at all.. haha! Thanks Nate!

[@ThePreparedWanderer]

We just missed each other that day. Too funny! Great video. Subscribed

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks man! Did you camp at 10?

[@calvinmonroe2408]

I did google it and i snagged myself a topo map for when we come for our hikes

[@WoodsTrekkinAdventures]

Nice trip Bryce. I've never been to Mohican...now it's on my list! I've been messing around with tarp setups but have never overnighted with it as a ground setup. Looks like it worked well. Evan's Backpacking videos kind of got me interested hmmmmmm ........take care brother.

[@BryceNewbold]

Not sure how my setup would have faired in the rain, but i knew it would be a dry night. I've only tarp'd a few times but it is different . I really like it.. As long as most of the bugs are gone for the year. lol

[@jasonwish-]

Dang Bryce, I don't know how I missed that sweet spot in camp 10! That looked a lot nicer than where I stayed at there. Never tried the honey stinger waffle, will definitely check that out. Sweet shortcut across the farm fields...I'm sure they would've been alright with it as long as you weren't messin up someones deer hunt, lol. I got to tell ya, your vids are very enjoyable to watch....good to have ya puttin them out again :) Great ending!!

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks a ton Jason! The honey stinger waffle is pretty much a high carb / energy snack that ultra runners use. They are better when they arent cold. haha. I made sure to stay out of the crops and on the outside. And believe me i was looking for them hunting. I actually passed a tree stand but luckily it was not occupied!

[@mijo91]

I like 7 on the horse trail

[@voodooromeo8749]

Great video man!! Thanks for sharing. Maybe I will run into you sometime. Great places in my area,( North West Ohio). Be safe.✈✈✈

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks for checking it out man! Mayb i'll see ya on the trail!

[@breadbox777]

Ohio! I live on the east side of Cleveland by a few metro parks. Been wanting to know what’s close for camping but not rv park camping. Glad I found you thanks to joe robinet!

[@BryceNewbold]

Theres a decent amount of backpacking trails in south/south eastern ohio. I've done about all of them . haha. Thanks for watching man

[@doc021]

At the fire pit you are at hidden from the site marker.... if you see a large rock on the ground at the cliff and can clearly see where it broke off. That was my friend climbing. Rock fell with him and hit him on the hip. He had a rough night but he was ok

[@doc021]

At 9:50. The rock is to the left just out of the camera shot

[@BryceNewbold]

that is crazy. I will have to look for it next time im there!

[@RESTLESSOUTDOORS]

I agree... the maps are a bit confusing! That was an amazing site! Damn that bacon looked delicious... as I'm watching this at 11:22 at night... curses!!!!! 😂

[@BryceNewbold]

lol! Probably the best bacon i've ever had in my life. I will definitely be bringing that more often!

[@uptrail7169]

I'm looking forward to the Mohican meetup. So far I've only found a little info and no campsites maps for this area. We plan on arriving Friday and try to reserve a campsite for the night. Someone said to check in at the ranger station, but not sure yet where it is. Any info you may have would help. This should be a fun trip!

[@shawnnewsome4778]

Cool vid.

[@WillWildsOutdoorAdventures]

5:29 wow I have to try, great video man. Really dig all the walk by shots the effort that goes into that is nuts, cheers man subbed & thumbs up

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks so much dude!

[@alexwbanks70]

Going there this weekend. I stayed at site 10 when I went there solo last fall and it was awesome. I did not know where to register and I just hiked in to that site. I hiked around to that lower part where you stayed and thought it was amazing. Funny the next day hiking out I ran into two other guys and asked them where they stayed and they said site 10. I did not realize the actual site was up top there and they were there the whole time and either of us noticed each other. Well I noticed the next morning when I went to climb those rocks and saw there was a couple tents up there so I did a quick u turn. Question for ya if you get to this before May 31st. Should we go to the lower section (sites 1-6) or stay up there by (8-10). Well probably hike a lot of the trails but it looks like we'll be driving if we stay up top there. Thanks

[@onkelsort5381]

I have started to put the pointy end of my hikingpoles down into the ground. The consequences of bowing your head / eyes down on those things going in or out of the tarp, putting shoes on, what not, freaked me out too much...

[@kirkmillerBO84]

That bacon looked so tasty

[@BryceNewbold]

oh man it was.. haha. For some reason it was the best bacon i've ever had

[@kirkmillerBO84]

Bryce Newbold good deal

[@uptrail7169]

Nice campsite! My trip last weekend turned into a nightmare. My truck broke down a few miles away from the Porcupine Mountains in 20 F weather and it was windy. Long story, but I'm safe at home now!! My wife drove 160 miles to rescue me and my son and his friend went back to tow my dead truck.

[@BryceNewbold]

Oh no! At least you were prepared for cold weather! That sounds terrible. I often have thought about if that would to me. I would probably set up the tent by the car and cook my meal while i waited on rescue. lol.

[@uptrail7169]

I also had no cell service, but a lady gave me a ride to her house a few miles away to use her phone. I was lucky because very few cars were out on the road.

[@BryceNewbold]

😬

[@BandBRanchers]

Your in hickory ridge I do a lot of hunting there

[@Ohios1Cheesehead]

If we wanted to camp at the spot from this video is it really close to site 10? Thanks of you see this

[@shawngilbert6899]

Excellent video! I'm planning on doing an overnighter at Mohican next month. Any insight into what route you took (where to park, what trail, etc.)? I'd really like to stay at site 10 as well.

[@BryceNewbold]

I parked at one of the Park and Pack Parking lots indicated on the map. It was the one located my Park and Park site #9. I made a loop from the Upper trails. Mountain Bike and Hiking trail. A bit hard to explain. Mohican had lots of options for loops however. Also be prepared to share site 10. There is always people there.

[@tonyjabkul3395]

How many miles for the car to the camp site?

[@greygardens81]

Nice trip! How many miles would you say your loop was? Might be worth a drive down from Michigan for something different!

[@BryceNewbold]

Probably 9 miles. First day may not have even been a mile. Haha. Its not your cookie cutter backpack trail, being that your on bike or horse trails most of the time. But it is a really cool place!

[@greygardens81]

Bryce Newbold it looks nice!

[@postrunbanana5480]

Definitely worth the trip I'd say! There are so many different trails you could make a ton of different loops and the terrain is challenging and beautiful! -Ashley Newbold (The Wife)

[@mikejohnson6074]

Where can you go dispersed camping in Northeastern, Ohio?

[@BryceNewbold]

There are quite a few places. Vesuvius, Archers Fork, Wildcat Hollow to name a few

[@claybarrel]

Great video Bryce! I'm planning a solo trip to Mohican at the end of this month, so this was perfect to watch. Was thinking about campsite #10 or #9, I heard good things about both. Do you have another favorite site at Mohican, or is #10 where it's at?

[@BryceNewbold]

10 is the prettiest. But its so popular that you almost always have company. 9 is nice,big, and flat but doesn't have the view that 10 does!

[@mijo91]

Make sure to look for the leaning trees alot trees be falling there lol

[@cgriggsiv]

I too am from Ohio Cleveland Ohio and I do my camping and hiking on the Buckeye Trail that's closest to me that I can get you I do not drive so I take a mountain bike which is actually worse fun but worse Nothing like having a 55 to an 80 lb backpack on a mountain bike riding a hundred thirty miles in 5 hours that's just one way so you know the fun that I get it may be a little exhausting riding all that many miles because you do have to stop when you're there at your designated area rest overnight then do your hiking from there after you lock your bike up

[@BryceNewbold]

Wow that would be alot of riding! i couldn't imagine riding with a pack that heavy! i plan to do some bikepacking at mohican in the future since they have nice trails, but i will be driving there. haha

[@cgriggsiv]

Bryce Newbold by the way I am 49 years old

[@cgriggsiv]

If you need a riding and a hiking partner don't hesitate to ask

[@hermeticallysealed]

I am glad I found the Bryce Bacon channel

[@BryceNewbold]

Haha! I love this comment

[@drews2542]

What kind of knife are you using?

[@BryceNewbold]

Mora companion

[@calvinmonroe2408]

Whats the name of this loop

[@BryceNewbold]

I don't think it has a name

[@calvinmonroe2408]

How do i find it if im visiting

[@BryceNewbold]

@@calvinmonroe2408 you must register your campsites at the self serve kiosk located by the first service station. There are maps available there as well. However you can just Google " Mohican map" and find it. The maps aren't very good however

[@calvinmonroe2408]

@@BryceNewbold thats what i will do so thanks and yes your videos are top shelf so keep making them

[@greglennert1104]

How much was it to camp there. I tried looking on the website and I couldn't find anything

[@BryceNewbold]

Free. Sign up at the kiosk by the forest service office

[@ktj188]

Did you see any wildlife?

[@BryceNewbold]

I think i may have seen a bald eagle flying. I've seen them there before, but it was too far away to be sure. Other than that no. Lots of squirrels. lol

[@Callahan1]

What particular tarp is that and what dimensions? Interesting shape.

[@BryceNewbold]

Its an ENO Profly... not sure of the dimensions, But its a hammock tarp, hence the weird shape. I think its around 11' x 9' if i remember correctly

[@Callahan1]

ahh I see. Thanks for the info

[@DARRYBBB1]

What trail is this ?

[@BryceNewbold]

north eastern portion of the mountain bike trail

[@platinumdragon7]

Can you reserve the sites in advance, or do you have to do it the day of? I was thinking about going tent camping with my son.

[@BryceNewbold]

Day of. Which sucks because u never know if u can get a site. Its a huge flaw of mohican

[@platinumdragon7]

@@BryceNewbold thanks. I guess I'll plan for a weekday.

[@jeffstone28]

Any bears around there? If so, I'd be concerned about that wonderful bacon smell drawing them to you.

[@BryceNewbold]

haha! yes not the best food for bear country indeed! fortunately bear sights are so rare in my area that i have no fear of them.
