Morrison Hiking Trail Camping - Allegheny National Forest

[@RViscara]

Great times and great memories. Cool to see young men still enjoying life this way in the outdoors. Hats off to you guys.

[@FrozensAdventures]

RViscara Hats off to you as well my friend.

[@barbaraclavier9716]

I like those shots. I get them all of the time... not while I'm hiking but it is a good idea... love your vids.

[@joewall1917]

Rip Alexis turner thanks for mentioning the story. She lived here in beaver falls where I'm from. Looked like a nice trip though

[@runforfunken]

Good hike & camp guys & with goid friends as company the trail doesn't get much better. Good stuff.

[@RichAllfieldnohit]

Wow, I didn't know about Minister Creek. Damn, I go up there all the time.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Rich Allfieldnohit Yea really sad, such a young woman...

[@RichAllfieldnohit]

Been there a few times, never went all the way to the reservoir. Thanks for the look. So flat at the beginning!

[@RatandCat]

I always find it refreshing to jump in a lake or river at the end or start of day.... or really any time there's water. Re-energizing.

[@JasonSchneider99]

I'm enjoying your videos. Having a great time on the trail. So many youtube channels have forgotten what its about.

[@ram8306]

That looked like a fun trip.

[@DanielleSW]

Thanks for visiting my backyard (: Glad you enjoyed it!

[@FrozensAdventures]

+Danielle SW Thanks for watching!

[@outhikingagain4030]

Leading adventures seems like it would be just up your alley! Sociable, knowledgeable and you can be very funny at times. I find myself laughing at you interactions with others like Gary. You probably don't try to be funny but it is just natural for you. Maybe you could try a 6 or 8 mile day trip for 3 or 4 "beginners" and get their feedback but also see how you like it.

[@FrozensAdventures]

I'm more of a solo hiker but when I get older I'd like to lead a scouts group

[@ferbritzeo]

Great video as always! I'm heading down to raccoon creek state park next weekend for a 2 night backpacking trip on the loop that you did in an earlier video.

[@Daywalker74]

Always great videos. Thank you

[@wochubink8297]

Love your videos and it inspired me to get out there. I did The Morrison loop and Rim rock loop in sort of a figure 8 as my first backpacking trip this past weekend. Great time but the ascent on the Rimrock trail kicked my butt. haha out of shape smoker. Would definitely suggest that loop in a counter clockwise fashion if your not in the best of shape. Posting a video of my suffering shortly. Keep them videos coming!!!1

[@AndyOnTheMountain]

Looked like a solid trip. You may love gear as much as I do too. Lol. -Andy

[@PeteGeniella]

I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for all the time and effort. I was surprised to hear you reference burning your plastic rubbish in campfires a few times in the video. If you can pack it in, it's easy enough to pack out. Anyway, looking forward to watching your future adventures!

[@FrozensAdventures]

Pete Geniella It was more of an animals smelling the residue and coming into camp issue for him which is why we opted burning it.

[@SethDombachProductions]

Great video as always man. Hopefully I'll run into you in the PA woods someday

[@MrAuell]

I came across your video completely by accident. I wasn’t looking for any local camping or backpacking info. I was just looking for nice forest videos. I did what you now do when I was young mostly in the seventies and eighties. I am 62 now and can only walk short distances. I have a connective tissue disease called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and it gives most people spine and joint problems, but can cause many diverse problems. I would encourage you to get your camping and backpacking in while you are young because you never know what the future will bring. But enough of that. Just wanted to say I have backpacked and camped on many of the local trails. I passed by the trailhead on Morrison’s this afternoon. I used to hike Minister Creek, Turkey Creek, etc. Down in West Virginia there is a good trail for a 3 day hike down from Spruce Knob, but I don’t remember where we hiked to. But it is worth doing. If you have a guideyou can go to Seneca Rocks and climb it and then Rappel down. It is a blast but you must have a good guide or teacher if you aren’t an experienced climber. It’s the biggest rock face climb east of the Mississippi. About 800 feet of face if I recall. Don’t drink too much!

[@anyadeblasio2812]

Going to Dolly Sods this oct. would love to hike with you

[@danielgolite]

Nice video! Morrison was where I went on my first backpacking trip. Just got back today from an overnight trip back to Morrison and left the tent at home and used a hammock for the very first time. Quite comfortable.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Daniel Helmbrecht Hammock is the only way to go for me! Glad you had fun dude!

[@badlakan]

i love your Q&A at the trail, u need to do this again :)

[@bushcrafty3480]

Shout out from down-under in New Zealand!

[@arcana1973]

Nice video. I love the ANF. FYI, if you're looking for other trails, check out hiking the ANF by Jeff Mitchell, or his book backpacking PA. Those books have been great to plan my trips from western ny

[@FrozensAdventures]

+arcana1973 Will do, thanks.

[@missprimrose4132]

You look different without your bright orange & green outfits from your Florida adventures. Oh minus your sunglasses too.

[@bahamajim1998]

That place is nice

[@abreathofairwitherin6173]

Have you ever considered using a handheld gps. My husband and I geocache the garmin etrex are about 100 and batteries are lightweight where cellphone batteries die so much faster. You could mark a waypoint or have an endpoint. Love seeing this video grew up nearby but never hiked there.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Never really considered it. Google maps on my cell phone gets the job done if I need a GPS while I am out there. My cell phone rarely dies while I'm out hiking. If you turn off data the phone will last a lot longer and you can still use google maps if needed.

[@abreathofairwitherin6173]

Nice video subscribed to your channel

[@stowe18]

Thanks for the quick reply! Wow, I was 30lbs for this one nighter.. With a 60l pack.. Thinking of getting something in the mid 40s - 50L for 1-2 nighters. Seems the 60 is too large for this, and maybe too small for winter trips? Again-- you've got me planning my trip to dolly sods for next month. I've camped there at the campground- but never went where you were-- looks pretty amazing. Thanks again - your vids are extremely informative-- and having my bank acct drop significantly!

[@GTOhio]

Just to update you, the church group had hiked into Minister Creek to the Deer Lick camp area, it took a long time for someone to hike out and get any kind of cell service to call for help. The storm hit at about 5 am.

[@Starnerdz]

It's a really sad thing to hear about, i can feel what the parents around must of felt and it happened 7 or 8 years ago. Horrible thing to hear about at any point.

[@stowe18]

Just got back today from this trail, after have watching your video . lots of creek/Brook crossings- downed trees.. But very beautiful scenery. We hung hammocks by the creek near the campground. Question for you though- do you keep ANY food with you overnight? Or do you use a bear bag? We even hung our coffee in ziploc bags INSIDE of a watertight bag.. Also was wondering how heavy your pack was for most of your three season trips. Thanks again- really enjoy your vids!

[@FrozensAdventures]

+stowe18 My baseweight for this trip I believe was 15 lbs. here is my current list : lighterpack.com/r/3at0n1 I hang my food with orange 550 cord over a tree and make sure that anything that smells is inside the bag.

[@dukepalk6324]

I drink Kona Brewery brands gotta keep it island for me. Anyway keep me posted I'll do the same. Mahalo nui loa "your the best".

[@potatothorn]

this was a lot of fun thanks/ way behind on watching videos because i was in the mtns myself hooray// funny thing about the "arent you worreid about people" question... i get that all the time since i go way out in the desert etc- my response is / well, would you mess with the guy who is willing to go that far out into nowhere by himself? ... us back country people dont mess with each other, nothing to prove out there.....

[@Lobo47478]

Any Bigfoot experiences? You guys passed be a lot of their structures.

[@FrozensAdventures]

No loo

[@therealalexchrzanowski]

A buddy and I just did the rimrock loop this weekend. Whats the website you where talking about your hammock stuff?

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

in one of your videos you had a folding metal windscreen for your stove I cannot locate that video now but I am trying to purchase something close to it can you please let me know how much it weighs and what it is called essentially I want to find the most lightweight one I can.

[@FrozensAdventures]

+THENEWWRANGLER Hmm it may be one of 2 wind screens I have, the lightest one being the vargo folding windscreen (www.amazon.com/Vargo-T-422-Aluminum-Windscreen-Black/dp/B007S3OFGM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1442837049&sr=8-2&keywords=vargo+windscreen) 1.3oz or it could be this one, which is taller and more useful ( www.amazon.com/Lightweight-Compact-Folding-Stove-Windscreen/dp/B005QRYQ0C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1442837101&sr=8-2&keywords=folding+wind+screen) 4.2oz

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

www.ebay.com/itm/271760853031 thanks, for getting back to me, I ended up ordering this titanium paper almost. love watching your videos. I think this stuff is the lightest option and lower my weight is my main concern, I sure hope this titanium roll works well.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Yea let me know, I was looking at something similair but decided to go with the Vargo one for when I bring my cat stove.

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

Will do when it arrives I will try and do a video showing it in use with. a few different stoves I have ie trangia, pocket rocket, and a multi fuel also.

[@s.weldingandfabrication4287]

nice name.

[@carlottafontes9575]

What is the name of the company who makes those shots?

[@FrozensAdventures]

+Carlotta Fontes The company is called Twisted Shotz twistedshotz.com/ We found them at a liquor store on the way to the trail.

[@carlottafontes9575]

Thanks! I love your videos

[@2hoosierhikers180]

Have you ever seen or experienced anything while hiking, either during the day or night, that freaked you out?

[@FrozensAdventures]

2 Hoosier Hikers The last trip I saw a very mysterious light up the trail a ways from my camp. I shined my light at it to try and see what was making the light but couldn't see anything, so I turned the light off. This caused the mysterious light to start walking toward me, that freaked me out a little so I shined the light back on it and it stopped moving. After a couple times doing that I realized it was just the moon and it looked like it was walking toward me because of branches blowing in the wind. Animal eyes night hiking freak me out a bit but they are usually just deer.

[@2hoosierhikers180]

Any two-legged creatures covered in hair? You know where I'm going with this. Just curious.

[@2hoosierhikers180]

We do enjoy your videos.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Nope nothing of that sort, but who knows =P

[@2hoosierhikers180]

We have a freaky experience on the night of June 2nd in south central Indiana in the Morgan Monroe S.F. Making a fire, just ate the Mountain House. Guy comes by and mentions BF sightings in the area. Gives us his business card. Says call me if you see or hear anything. Freaky. One of our channel subscribers has a neighbor whose friend was being chased by a two footed creature through the woods in the exact same area at 11pm on the night of July 5th. The thing was making non-human noises. He was terrified. Ran to his truck and got out of there.

[@mikey7722]

Where about are you from?

[@FrozensAdventures]

Near Pittsburgh

[@dukepalk6324]
