Spring Backpacking in Dolly Sods Wilderness | An Overnighter

[@ScottCannon4SmartBiz]

Really enjoyed the husband and wife combo. Not enough of these sort of videos out there.

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks!

[@marjiecleveland]

So great that it didn't rain and the wet areas weren't deep this go around!

[@texashikeaholicsadventures5651]

We really enjoyed this video!! Looked like a fun trip!!

[@cgriggsiv]

Awesome that you two are having so much fun

[@jeffs6229]

It's awesome that your Mrs. likes going on the backpacking trips with you! Wish mine did. Great video, thanks for the share!

[@baldmi3603]

Sweet Saw. I added it to my backpacking supplies. :)

[@danielgolite]

Good video. Glad you had sunshine. Thanks for telling your actual pack weights. I always find that interesting.

[@jeffvanderhoeven3408]

Enjoyed the video, especially liked seeing the camp set up. The wife was cracking me up with her little background comments.

[@BryceNewbold]

haha. yea she's funnny

[@WealthandTravelonaDime]

Gotta love sods especially when you can enjoy with the wife. Another great video

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks man!

[@GoneFeralWithSquidly]

2:10 I had already been thinking “don’t go to Bear Rocks”. You go to Bear Rocks. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@RyanNiemer]

Great video, love Dolly Sods. Only been once but planning to go back in October

[@graydogtreks]

This is the first video of yours I have watched. Thank you both for the real campsite experience and a husband- wife team in co-operation. I am subscribing!

[@BryceNewbold]

Thank you so much!

[@OlmanEg]

You guys should try the vaseline and cotton balls. Pre make at home, lightweight, and ignite with any sparks. My plus.... a single cotton ball burns for 5 minutes. So gives you lots of time to get your fire right.

[@neilt7490]

Your wife is awesome, she needs her own channel.

[@bretthikez6567]

That saw is pretty sweet dude..nothing worse then a ember or 74 hitting your tent...I'm digging the camp shots!!

[@Leadmeoutdoors]

Sweet video. Being out West, I hope to get out that way one day. Dolly Sods looks like such a cool area! Thanks for sharing

[@GatewoodBrown]

Great edit Bryce! The DS looks beautiful my man. All of those creek crossings take a toll on the feet

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks man

[@sheltermonkey6065]

Thanks for sharing. I've wanted to visit Dolly Sodds for years, but haven't had a chance.

[@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD]

What a fun overnighter for the two of you. Enjoyed the video! 👍

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks Tom!

[@lifthearth]

Bryce, your video editing just keeps getting better. You’re developing quite the skill. Congrats.

[@turtlecrawford6468]

Awesome! Ran into the Schill Brothers a couple weeks ago there and going back tomorrow

[@BryceNewbold]

Nice! I went in the day they came out I think

[@turtlecrawford6468]

Me too, I would have probably thought I lost my mind if I saw you too haha

[@OutLan]

I’ve only ever been there in May also. I’m the same way and never watch movies when I’m camping because I want to take it all in. Great vid, you two!

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks man. Would be a great spot for a group hike!

[@OutLan]

@@BryceNewbold And I'm totally stealing that title effect ;-)

[@than1967]

Go in October. Colder but beautiful foliage!

[@OUTDOORS55]

Missing getting out and camping 😞 Hopefully by the fall ill be able to get back out😂 sweet weather you had though!

[@pilgrimbruce6475]

I was just hiking Dolly Sods last weekend! The rock at "the path to disappointment" used to be an overlook, but those spruce trees have grown tall enough that you can't see over them any more.

[@BryceNewbold]

Haha! Ok cool thanks!

[@CanadianSledDog]

Interesting saw, I made my own even lighter saw with nothing but a sawsall blade with a few teeth ground off and wrapped in electrical tape as a handle, it cuts the same size log but in sacrificing the handle to save weight, my saw takes a lot of effort to use. It's one of those give/take scenarios, for example it was a great saw for a bikepacking tour, where a saw isn't really required often and weight is critical.

[@woodchip2782]

I just wish my wife would like hiking as much as your loved one. Unfortunately she just can’t give up toilet amenities for more than a few hours.

[@lisaray6493]

Get her a Pstyle, game changer

[@cgriggsiv]

That wind is blowing all over the place 😂 It was funny seeing the air mattress band all over the place as you were trying to blow it up young lady I'm glad that you two got the chance to get out and have some awesome weather at the sods I'm also sorry that you had such cold weather the following morning

[@wesleykremer3916]

Look at the Outdoor Vitals tent. It is a good price, spacious, and easy set-up.

[@jonferguson8374]

dolly sods is my favorite backpacking location, you should check out the falls down red creek off of blackbird

[@johnhawks7365]

Bryce, you might could check the warranty on the tent before you get rid of it. Idk if they will do anything about it because it’s 6 years old, but there could be something in the warranty to help.

[@SgtSpartyOutdoors]

Really interested in that saw. How do you pack it? Seems like it would be a pain to pack a naked saw blade, could you show how do that in a future video?

[@BryceNewbold]

It has a little cover for the blade. I'll show it in the future for sure

[@CanadianSledDog]

I actually pack a sawsall blade-saw I made in the plastic blade cover it came in. It's perfectly strong and light since it was made for the task!

[@biiMendo]

Hey Bryce! Thanks for creating the content that you do. It keeps my mind on the trail even when my body isn't. My girlfriend and I have been patiently awaiting your next video because we've been thinking we'd hiked past you as you were filming. Your campsite's excellent view and seclusion (despite being nearly right off the trail) caught our eye. As we got nearer, we noticed someone was filming themselves so we quit our gawking and kept moving. Didn't want to interrupt! At some point (either before or after our trip, I can't remember) I'd watched your pre-trip gear video, and because you mentioned having a better time than the last, I suspected your next video might be Dolly Sods. At this point, my gears are turning and I mentioned it to my girlfriend. Since then, we'd patiently awaited your next video to see if we were right! Needless to say, we were pretty excited when we loaded up KZbin and saw your latest video was in Dolly Sods. When we hit about minute 17:02 in the video we both looked at each other with big grins because we'd made a note of remembering what you were talking about as we passed by - processing your firewood! I'm glad to see you two had an excellent experience. You were spot on; the weather was beautiful that weekend. We ended up staying at a site near the junction of TR509 and 511 (Upper Red Creek and Blackbird Knob trails) that had a great view of the night sky and had a blast! Anyways, sorry for the long message. We've been getting a kick out of this little story and thought you might too! Great video, as always. Thank you, again, for the information you share and

[@BenMcmillen]

As gross as the trail conditions usually are i still love the sods. Very unique place

[@careym.2194]

Missed you at the trailhead by 30 minutes. I was there the same weekend for a 2 day hike. Could not ask for better weather!

[@BryceNewbold]

Haha! We missed the schill brothers that morning as well I believe!

[@petermentes63]

Hey there just saw this vlog. FYI to the south is a Dolly Sods extension tract called Roaring Plains u access it via Dolly trails or parking in south half of FR 75. Theres a bushwack sections and trails camping is spectacular. Theres a special grass camp site with a stream i can give u coords for thats my fav. And the rock cliff view to south are spectacular. Cheers

[@petermentes63]

FYI I use Iphone app Topo Maps+ Pro has all trails never get lost in that area again.

[@BryceNewbold]

Awesome Thanks! I'm very interested! You can send the coordinates to [e-mail].

[@mitwild]

26:06 sick penny stove bruh

[@RyanSchell]

You guys were there the weekend before my first trip there. We camped at the site in the pines where you crossed the stream before Blackbird Knob. I def fell in love with hiking there, such a unique challenge mentally. I hope one day to take my wife there like you guys have been able to do!!

[@BryceNewbold]

Great camp site. I've camped down in that area before. Beautiful

[@MrTmax74]

Good vid Bryce. I need to get out there

[@BryceNewbold]

You do!

[@markcummings6856]

Nice trip.

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks Mark

[@jeffgrumley8230]

Dude I was just there Saturday thru tuesday this past week!!

[@BryceNewbold]

Awesome!

[@bengoodrich759]

Really enjoying your channel! Do you have any plans to come up to NY and do some Adirondack high peaks?

[@pmitchell87]

Tarptent Double Rainbow would be my suggestion for a replacement tent... I'm also in the camp of ppl who don't watch movies when camping

[@BryceNewbold]

I'm looking at that one. Thanks! Gotta love sounds of nature!

[@garrycollins3415]

Check out the 2020 Big Agnes Cooper Spur with the double zip door that does a porch mode.

[@BryceNewbold]

Love me some porch mode.. I'll look into it

[@garrycollins3415]

@@BryceNewbold I'd attach a pic from this weekend but I don't think I can in KZbin

[@howardjackman3242]

What a great outing! My wife will hike with me, but not camp... Just a quick question-what is that pouch you're using to hold your phone on your shoulder strap? I recently upgraded my phone and it's huge, so I'm having a hard time finding something that will hold it safely. Thanks for the great videos!

[@BryceNewbold]

It is sewn on the backpack. Got it as an add on with my LiteAF backpack

[@howardjackman3242]

@@BryceNewbold Thanks for the info, a nice accessory to have! Looks like it's a little stretchy. A good DIY project for me to figure out.

[@sheltermonkey6065]

I see the specs of the The North Face Flint 2 are 87 x 54 inch floor by 41 inch peak height. Do you want to stay the same size, slightly larger, or slightly smaller? Some options off the top of my head with 50 inch floor widths: Nemo Dagger 2, MSR Hubba Hubba NX, TarpTent Double Rainbow, Mountain Hardwear Aspect 2

[@BryceNewbold]

Definitely stay around the same size. Looking into the tarp tent actually!

[@sheltermonkey6065]

@@BryceNewbold If you would like more room, the Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL3 is a lightweight option. Or if you want to utilize trekking poles, there's the Dan Durston X-Mid 2.

If you where Dan Becker, that car would have stopped and gave you girl scout cookies. LOL 🍻👍👊

what gives the blue/green light nearby the tent ? 18min52 ... very nice soundtrack ;-) ... listening to nature ... mindfulness ...

That's just lens flair from the camera. 😆

We went 2 weeks ago and yes we got poured on and I loved every minute or it. Or at least now I loved every minute of it. Buhahaha

We were just talking about you, how you were kind of AWOL for a time. I see you were at work making a great video of a great trip. : ) Laughing at your wife trying to inflate mattress. 17:11
