I like nature beautiful

[@tangenttrails]

Thank you and thanks for watching!✌️

[@tridudyonthetrail]

Awesome!! Smart move with that skunk!! How cool to catch one in the wild!

[@tangenttrails]

It was right by the trail. I’m happy it was in the open so we could see it before we walked right up to it.

[@anitasimmons3599]

Thank you for another great video. I am a little worried about seeing skunks in the middle of the day... early morning and late afternoon is ok, but a good number of skunks south of the Missouri River, road kill, test positive for rabies. Thank you for taking us along.

[@tangenttrails]

Yes. It was the only time I recall seeing a skunk out that late in the morning. Especially out in an open area.

Jerry, if the two of you did the 4 am hike out... y'all are some ANIMALS!!!!! Going to watch the next episode now. Ride That Tasty Wave

[@tangenttrails]

We actually hit the trail at 5 am. Got up and broke camp at 4 am. Keep on moving!✌️

[@theweldonator]

@tangenttrails that's still break of light, and you still crushed the miles. Ride That Tasty Wave

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Love those big open areas. Just no skunks 😂😂 Great campsite and I love that chili too How hot was it out there?

[@tangenttrails]

The daytime highs were in the upper 80’s and humid. Much better than the 100°+ days We’ll have this summer.

[@wendingourway]

Gotta watch out for them skunks for sure...almost walked right into a porcupine while out hiking one late evening last year...yikes! Keep up the adventuring. Bruce and Otis

[@tangenttrails]

I was surprised to see a skunk out in the open in daylight. Not used to seeing that.

[@TheAdventuresofEli]

AHHH man you didn't record resetting up your tent over and over again lol .. i gotta see if i caught that. 😄 That was a fun day right there, we should have recorded the reenactment going by, did you ever find out what that was part of?

[@tangenttrails]

I never could find out what group they belonged to, just where they camped.

[@Packsalot]

I can see how that trail got lost. It was grown over pretty well. Look out for the skunk! I would be worried about snakes in the grass. Too bad you left your poles. That would be rough with a trekking pole tent. Another nice camp site. Great day. Take care.

[@tangenttrails]

Yeah. It’s been a few years since I’ve tried to orphan a pair of poles. Good thing they were only a 0.1 walk back.😄
