Tecumseh Trail Thru Hike in 4K | Backpacking 42 Miles in Southern Indiana

[@cyndirowland8867]

You have a great narration voice! Good video demonstration of everything encompassing a multi-day of backpacking. Perfect combination of trail visual and personal commentary. Looking forward to following you on more of your hiking adventures.

Great video. On my bucket list now along with the Knobstone.

[@sciencereactions8221]

Doing part of Tecumseh Trail tomorrow. Should be great!

[@max.wright]

Have fun!

[@roymeetsworld1]

Cool video Max, great narration and awesome backpacking goal

Very well done! I like the geology information you added. I hiked the trail in the fall of 2020 and really enjoyed it. It was interesting to see it in the spring with all the wildflowers. I did the trail south to north so I could get the out and back part out of the way and not be faced with having to chose whether to do it after already hiking 40 miles. :-)

[@max.wright]

It was tough to do the out and back after a long day! Glad I ended up doing it though. I'll definitely be back to do the trail NOBO. Thanks for watching!

[@tonyabrowninghikes]

Really enjoyed the video. Very well done and informative. Thank you for taking us along! I am hoping to do this one soon!

[@gingertrine2912]

Very well done! Enjoyed it! Informative. We were the group you ran into, and the reason you had some trail magic! Glad to see you got your video out. Hope you do the Knobstone ! Let us know, and maybe we can arrange that trail magic again! Ginger with WHHB.

[@max.wright]

Good to hear from you again, Ginger! It was a pleasure running into you and your group out there!

[@Bluehathiker]

Nice video! I really enjoyed some of the geology content. As a person interested in history and geology and science in general, I really enjoy when folks mention that stuff. I don’t think a lot of people realize the immensity of time and of the processes involved. Well done 🤙

[@max.wright]

I'm glad you enjoyed the geology bits! My background is in geology and I intend to spend more time explaining what I find in future videos. You're exactly right that it's hard to imagine the immensity of time. Thanks for watching!

[@1momma24]

Nice job on your video! I was with the group you met on trail. Your journey was very informative and I enjoyed reliving my hike from the same week!

[@max.wright]

Hi again Jenna! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@KeepCalmAndKeepOn]

Absolutely fantastic project as exhibited by narration, photos and video. Thanks for sharing! :)

[@max.wright]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Check out my more recent stuff if you have the time. I like to think I've improved somewhat over the last year. But still so much to learn when it comes to making videos :) Take care!

[@KeepCalmAndKeepOn]

@@max.wright Hi Max! I will def check out your other vids. You have a gift! My friend and I thru hiked Tecumseh last weekend and had a blast. Hoping for one more outing before the bitter cold sets in. Happy trails. :)

[@jacobfleener8501]

This trail is on my bucket list also.

[@andrewhauke5769]

Very nicely done. I enjoyed watching it, we'll have to catch up for a hike if you can stand having a 45 year old anchor slowing you down!

[@max.wright]

Haha thanks Dewey!

[@evans_swiftie_shirt1730]

While in New England, you have to check out Acadia National Park North and South Bubble, I would love to hear you explain how those round rocks got there. While at Acadia, you have to do the Precipice trail. Also, you have to do Franconia Ridge trail in NH.

[@max.wright]

I've actually been there as a kid on vacation with my family. But Savannah hasn't been yet so we're definitely making a trip there!

[@olddudeonthetrail72]

[@max.wright]

Hey, thank you so much for being a sub, and a milestone one at that! I'm glad you enjoyed this video and I would love to hear what you think about my newer stuff :)

[@mikemacmunn3583]

Impressive! Now I REALLY need to get out there and finish this trail. Great video work!

[@max.wright]

Thank you, Mike!

[@BucyTV]

[@max.wright]

Thank you!! Stay tuned for more...hoping to have a new video out in October. Something special if all goes well :)

[@Thunder_War_]

where’s a good place to see a solid map with water sources/ campsites? looking to go with my dad hopefully over thanksgiving break and i need to do a little planning.

[@RagingChicken]

i gotta hike this once my acl is healed! looks incredible. Have you hiked the Knobstone trail?

[@max.wright]

I hope you'll get the chance once you're healed up! It's a wonderful trail. I've not done the Knobstone yet but it's on the list for when I'm back in Indiana. I'll definitely record that hike as well!

[@HoosierHikes]

Shelter is so new that noone has brought out a cheap broom to live in the shelter.

[@TheAdventuringFoodie]

Nice overview of the trail. I’m thinking this will be my first adventure of 2024. I’m curious about the battery pack you brought with you. How many mAh capacity was the unit? Also, did you see any ticks out there?

[@max.wright]

Hi! I believe I brought just an old 5000 mAh battery that actually failed in the middle of the trip (had to charge via a outdoor plug at a motel we passed on day 3 or 4). Since then, I've upgraded both my filming equipment and battery. I now carry a 20,000 mAh I found on Amazon. Ticks were not a problem for me in April. Hope you can make it out there this year. It's a gem of a trail for our state!

[@joepearcy2370]

What all did you pack for this hike? Your pack looks lean and light. It makes me jealous really.

[@max.wright]

Just the essentials :) I was also packing an extra tent that I was giving to Ian. That was the thing under my lid on the first day

[@CountryCruiser]

Adding the 3.6 miles to the sign and back, is that what makes it 42? Or did you do 45.6?

[@max.wright]

I don't have my map on hand but if memory serves me right, the official mileage does not count going back to the parking lot after the sign. So my total mileage for this trip would be closer to 45
