    I appreciate this video. I've visited several sections of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore but never thru-hiked it. I'm planning to check that off my bucket list next year.

      I would highly recommend it! It was so much fun, even with the rain. lol. Some spots can get a little touristy, but all the good stuff is always off-trail backpacking.

    Pictured Rocks = amazing. Your video entices me to hike it a third time. You can never catch everything there is to see. Nice job.

      Oh, most definitely. My favorite part of this trail was the community campfires. Talking with people is my favorite thing to do. You can learn so much from the other backpackers/campers at places like this.

    Great channel! Also love that trail, I’m heading up there very soon.. were the mosquitoes horrible?! How many ticks did you pull off yourself? They are horrible this year, I had about 20 on me about a month ago at the beach! 😮

    • @BeyondTheBirch
      @BeyondTheBirch Před měsícem

      The sections of NCT trail going east of spring lake campground to the large rest area is where all the mosquitos were at. And I'm not lying they were bad. The ticks are really bad this year all over Michigan. I pulled about 4 off my arms. But the trail was gorgeous in many places. I recommend to go off trail here and exploring.

    Ha, ha "Magasaqua". Glad to see the Fife Lake loop portion going south. You went the other direction last video? What are your first impressions of the bear canister? I'm wondering if MI bears even know what a PCT hang is. Nice, intro by the way. When I hike the NCT, day hike, I never see backpackers. Even day hikers are rare.

    • @BeyondTheBirch

      Yes, it was a strange journey this time around, but it was fun. Think I may have been off trail at times. But it was very beautiful. I really am in Love with my bear canister. It sounds silly, but it doubles as a seat as well. XD I want to set a trip wire noise alarm to it so if some wild animal does try to tamper with it It will scare them off.
