Shakedown Backpacking Trip | Aspiring 46ers

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Slept on the ground for the weekend and didn't want to die ... that bodes well for our end-to-end Long Trail hike coming up in August!

[@Snitchols]

Is Korra joining you for the entire LT trip?

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

She'll be with me for the first leg of the trip at least ... there are a few super sketchy sections near Camels Hump and Mt. Mansfield that I'm not entirely sure how she'd do without the help of trusted companions like the guys, but by that point of the adventure I'll be solo.

[@AbundantAdventures]

That slow motion and the sound when you put that shoe back on! That was excellent! Hahahaha I cringed and laughed at the same time.

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

LOL

[@ecttreker9816]

Great to see ya back. Always look forward to watching your vids.

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@jasonmathews1685]

Good stuff brother! Looks like a awesome muddy hike 👍

[@flyphish4434]

Was supposed to do some hiking with my son this weekend in Shenandoah national park but hurricane Ian put a stop to that, so catching up and binge watching the ADK woods walker gang.

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Thank you for your support!

[@Boneyard44]

Awesome! Glad to see you back out, brings back memories. Might wanna invest in some gaiters.. 👌🏼

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

LOL I have gaiters but the thought of wearing them in the summertime makes me sweat ;)

[@noahperone5774]

Amazing Content! Keep it up!

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Thanks!!

I haven't done Cliff yet. When I did Marshall, I just followed the stream up and down. I only left the stream bed when there were too high waterfalls. Luckily the water level was low enough to do that.

[@ALORDW]

Nice video! Still impressed that Dan is double and triple hiking peaks. Did you have to make reservations for parking at Upper Works?

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

No reservations needed for parking outside of the AMR property as of today.

[@firemarshaldil]

Hey, when you were on top of marshal was that northbound trail there too? I see it on some maps but not others.

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Yup - the junction is about 200' from the summit, and will take you down Indian Pass and over by the airplane wreckage.

[@firemarshaldil]

@@JayMorrisonOutdoors that's where I'm hiking this weekend, camping in the same area as you guys did. Mainly to see the wreckage! Lol

[@firemarshaldil]

@@JayMorrisonOutdoors also where exactly did you park? At the loj?

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

We parked at Upper Works/Tahawus. Enjoy your trip .. it should be a good weekend!!

[@firemarshaldil]

@@JayMorrisonOutdoors awesome thanks!

[@Boneyard44]

What peak is gonna be your 46th?

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Dix is our finishing peak, and we're planning on doing that the first week of October this year.

[@rowanmulvey8632]

Dix in the beginning of October will be great! No bugs

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Exactly!! Plus, I can't think of a better way to start our 4th annual #hikeOctober fundraising event for the Hike for Mental Health organization than to finish a great challenge like the ADK46ers!

[@Snitchols]

Dan is a smart man, however, I enjoyed hiking Marshall both times that I did it. John, The Bridge Destroyer, is a champ for taking on the 6 that he's done so far. That leaves the "easier" hikes peaks for when he finishes. Congrats to you and Mark on getting even closer and to Korra on her first 2 peaks. You're lucky she was too tired to murder you at night...lol

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

LOL all facts! Korra's been tired most of the week, so I guess we know how to truly tired a Husky out now ;)

[@DovieRuthAuthor]

It's great to see you dudes out on the trail again. Just remember, duct tape works wonders on holes in pants. Sorry about you losing your shoes in the mud. I have done that in snow. Ouch!

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Yea, duct tape works wonders for a lot of trail repairs ;) Funny enough, the only other time I really "lost" a shoe was in 2019 when Mark and I hiked Redfield LOL

[@markcunningham9887]

Was it hard to find a campsite near Flowed Lands because it was crowded or just that you needed a bigger site?

[@markjackson555]

It was for several reasons. One, was there was quite a few people. Two, was that no camping was allowed near leantos so we had to find spots for tents/hammocks only. Three, was that apparently several of the old sites are now marked as no camping to help the area recover. Lastly, we did need a spot to fit 4 setups.

[@Me-tm6xx]

It looks like Jay has become a filthy ground dweller. 😂

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

LOL only temporarily ;)
