Smoky Mountains Dispersed Camping

[@whenmountainsmove]

Be careful. Those woods are no joke. There are feral people who've lived in those hollers for generations and will mess with you when you are asleep.

[@spongiform]

0:45 hurrah!! I finally spotted you before you moved!!! The day has come lol

[@redfaux74]

Level Up..... "Now FINISH him!" 🤣🤣🤣🎈🥳🎈

[@SurvivalTheory]

I went easy on you. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@shadowscout9872]

It's always wet down in those valleys. All the down trees turn straight to rotten. BSF in Tennessee is the same way. You have to get on top of the ridge to find dry wood but thats not always convenient or easy. Tough going for sure. Had the same experience last year fishing. More like work than fun sometimes.

[@SurvivalTheory]

It was definitely work. Thanks for the view and comment!

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

What you heard was likely the Rougarou most commonly encountered in the southern parts of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana

[@SurvivalTheory]

East Texas as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@redfaux74]

Is that a version of the Werewolf?

[@leastamongyou1111]

@@redfaux74 That's right

[@matthewmcguire2124]

I grew up not too far from there. Most likely those were yellow jacket hornets, they make nests in the ground. Very aggressive around their nest and relentless in attacking you. We always kept the truck nearby when using a tractor to bush hog the pasture because they follow you.

[@SurvivalTheory]

I've been chased and stung by those before after running over the hole with a mower, not pleasant! These were bees though. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@kurtbaier6122]

Gonna rain in the mountains sure as daylight. Either bring a trash bag or keep your poncho.

[@SurvivalTheory]

Ha, yes. Thanks for watching and commenting!

North Carolina is beautiful. Thanks always for your videos.

[@aetherbunny8013]

Several times in Colorado I saw miles of public trout stream on a map only to get there and find nothing but willows lining the banks and very few places to put a fly in the water or even get in to go wading. I know the feeling.

[@SurvivalTheory]

Yep. Thanks for the view and comment!

[@Skills2survive]

Looks like a great time ! I love camping by those mountain streams. Its definitely steep up there, luckily the bear didnt come visit you. I have been liking my Get Out Gear down blanket.

[@SurvivalTheory]

Its a handy light weight blanket for sure. Thanks for the view and comment!

[@shawnnewsome4778]

Nothing like a great time in the woods.

[@SurvivalTheory]

Yeah that was a challenging but awesome trip. Thanks for the view and comment!

[@hauki9286]

Great camping. You have beautiful nature there! Making a fire in wet conditions can be painstaking.

That bear may have got them bees riled up.

[@SurvivalTheory]

Perhaps so. Thanks for the view and comment!

Nice video. I have a feeling part two will show some dangerous encounters with predators.

Good adventure video, Sir.

[@SurvivalTheory]

Thanks for the watch and words!

[@ronelko8261]

I live in Tennessee in the smokey mountain. Serious Bigfoot territory. Lots of strange things in those mountains

[@johnnybeanz1296]

Nice vid. Note to self: bring the Trangia even though you don’t think you’ll need it. Actually, especially when you don’t think you’ll need it. Cuz ya never know for sure.

[@SurvivalTheory]

So true. Thanks for the view and comment!

[@johnnybeanz1296]

@@SurvivalTheory one of the things I like about your vids is it’s a reminder about the big differences between camping and survival. Hope I don’t learn the distinction first hand but still good to think about it.

[@redfaux74]

First!?! 😳 Great video. Very peaceful. That area also has black panthers but you'll never see them. You might buy others won't. You just convinced me to carry more cotton. Lots more cotton and Vaseline. I also tear up old jeans with left over candle wax.

[@SurvivalTheory]

Yep, artificial tinder and lighters can be essential in some conditions. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jeffreycoulter4095]

You're right , it is coming

[@odgreenoutdoors20]

It’s good your still rocking with the 3V gear pack, I got mine strapped onto my motorcycle for motorcycle adventures , talking about bears made me think that It might not be a good idea to vape sweet juices in bear country, I like dessert flavors , I bet a bear could smell that a mile away , might have to carry me a pack smokes instead or a can of dip

[@johnny56g]

Captain Hook I would love to spend a weekend with you down here in Statesboro Georgia amongst some of the finest Georgia Pines you could imagine. As always enjoyed the video.

This is more like it no product reviews.

[@SurvivalTheory]

I have two more reviews to do this year. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@bonsaiguy2483]

Did you run into a lot of kudzu there?

[@markwray8614]

Glad you didn't fall in all the way

[@SurvivalTheory]

Definitely. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@johndoe-lr9if]

Ha Yea we'd all be still be wondering is there another video coming? while he's stuck in a hole....

[@leobillings4561]

Do you have any experience with my patriot supply. I recently got some.

[@SurvivalTheory]

No. I've heard that the taste isn't great but no telling if that's true or not unless you eat some. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@concretecowboy4212]

Thumbs-up and a comment 👍💯 🇺🇸

What is the tapping for?

[@redfaux74]

Tapping? 😳

[@SavageAirguns]

Bears are skiddish of sound. Thats why they make "bear bells" for hiking. The bell hangs off your pack and the ding scares away bears. So making a ding ding sound was in response to thinking he heard a bear.

[@SurvivalTheory]

What Anon. American said. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@redfaux74]

I knew that but didn't know what he meant.

[@thomasgerstenberg1632]

Was it a bear or Sasquatch?

[@SurvivalTheory]

Ha. Never found out for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting!
