The Cursed Canyon: When Trips Don't Go As Planned

[@tonyabrowninghikes]

You got to love spending time outdoors, even when things don't go as planned. Also the campsite by the lake looked amazing! Good to see you!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

It was a good time and nobody got hurt! Hope you're doing well, Tonya.

That trail looked tough going! Gear failures too 😫. Still, we would take a day in the cursed canyon over a day in work anytime 😂👌. Always a pleasure to see you and Mike out and about 👍

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

@o.bsoutdoors3871 thanks Shell and Pete! Hope all is well!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

The curse of the canyon scored on some gear. It’s like the Bermuda Triangle in there. You said “Ankle Breaker” 😢😂😂.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Sorry for the ankle breaker comment, bud. 😬

[@BackpackingWithJason]

@@BackpackingwithBuckley 😂😂 it’s all good. I sure hope I can make it your way in the next few months

[@paultan1995]

seeing a wind chime hanging in the dark....its like a spooky scene in a horror movie

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

@@paultan1995 i would have to agree. 😀

[@NicoleHikesalot]

good times you guys. That was a blast to watch.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks Nicole. It was a type 2 trip. 😀

[@MinuteontheMountain]

The ups and downs of checking out new places. You made lots of great memories, though.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Indeed. Still worth it!

[@TalesFromAbroad-SJ]

Sounds like a tough trip, but sometimes those make for the best stories! Gear failures and rugged trails can really test your patience. Thanks for sharing the experience - it’s a good reminder that not every adventure goes as planned. Looking forward to seeing more of your content! Cheers, Simon - Tales From Abroad

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Much appreciated comment. This was a good measure to appreciate the trips that do go well!

[@boopernator]

Another great adventure, thank you for sharing it with us. Gear failures are kind of a bummer but at least they did't end the trip.

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks Boop!

[@TressaZimmerman]

They can't all be gems. Lol! Thank you for the awesomeness

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

So true!

[@hikewithmike4673]

beautiful place...and always another crazy adventure when you go out into the wilderness..love it....I have to hike with cattle on a few places I hike in Florida too! Dang!...I need to get out there!...if there is not any craziness and wackiness out on a camping trip..it just is not an true adventure!..lol

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Well said, Mike! It's rare to have a trip go perfectly.

[@EatCarbs]

Looked like a nice area. Damn . those curses are annoying. Thanks for the video brother

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Thanks Mark!

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

Ain't that just the way it goes sometimes!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

I guess we need imperfect trips to have a means of comparison on the good ones right?

[@FatMatAdventures]

Beautiful area. Sry about the gear. Glad y'all didn't get hurt!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Gear is meant to be used. Sooner or later things will break right? Thanks Mat!

[@FatMatAdventures]

@@BackpackingwithBuckley Absolutely right!

[@GratefulTrekker]

I was on a canoe trip in FL once many years ago and set up for the night and in the middle of the night got a visit from a curious and aggressive bull nosing out tent

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Yikes. That sounds scary

[@paultan1995]

at least the weather is good

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

@@paultan1995 it was beautiful weather!

[@tonybabcock655]

Sounds like the kind of misadventure I can identify with. The best stories start with bad decisions!!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

That's the truth buddy!

[@MikeGhost79]

Turned that shit show into a great video! 👍

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Let's do that trail one more time just to be sure we hate it.

[@danielkutcher5704]

Lobotomy Canyon? Everything is falling apart and nothing makes sense. 🤔

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

That's pretty accurate Daniel!
