Video

Good video-Nice camera work, background music, good commentary from an outdoorsman point of view. I hope you reach your state park goal(s) …

My late father took me there as a kid like 55 years ago. There were stumps, but wide open for the most part.

what time of the year is this? and what was the temps like?

i could be wrong but think it is Ashfield not Ashland nice video

200 milliamp hours

Spent a good part of my childhood in the late 50’s and early 60’s up and down this creek. I remember slipping and rolling down one of the hills. We would drink right out of the stream on a hot summer day. There was a dam at Fourth St. that created a nice fishing hole. We would catch bullheads, think they were actually cat fish, ugly but good eating. Past Fourth St. It would go partially under ground ending finally in the Lackawanna River.

I know this was a year ago, but please do a review on products they way they are meant to be used. These meals were meant to be cooked for 20 minutes on the stove, not tossed with hot water like freeze dried food. The website clearly states that this is not a high calorie food meant for strenuous activity. It's sheerly for survival. Not a fair review.

Hi Kurt. Thanks for this video. I'm hoping to do Caledonia State Park to Duncannon in the Spring (2025), and this gives me an idea of what I will see in the area you hiked.

Sounds like you are making progress on your hikes on the AT. This looked like a nice section and only a little bit of rocks.

I really want to do the Appalachian Trail, not all at once, I'm too damn old for that crap and depending on who's reviews are accurate I might skip a few sections, but that's a big part of my plans for after (hopefully) retiring in 2030, of course that's assuming the world doesn't end before that. Though even if it does I might still hike it, I've been promised nuclear Armageddon for over 50 years, sorry if I don't get too panicked over the newest "whatever"

I’m currently going through that battery issue where it is automatically shutting off. Will keep posted to what Nebo does about this situation.

A nice quick one this was a really nice section. Trail maintenance was great way to go Mountain Club of Maryland.

A little bit closer to completion! Yay for the new bridge. Nice job, Mountain Club of Maryland.

Make bigger holes! If the red camp is too heavy for you then just work out more!! Lol

8 minutes that's not bad, pretty fair. Takes about that long in my steel pot on my stove burner at home

It's not pronounced like Rio de Janeiro. It's an "I" sound not an "E" sound. Many make that mistake. Enjoy the lake.

How long did this hike to you (up and down)?

I hate hiking in Summer... But I love being outdoors! It's a love hate relationship... LOL

I love that you have done sections of the AT over time! You want to enjoy it, but you are still walking all those steps of the PA section!

Awesome trail.

I can definitely see why water had to be a priority. Super cool hike man!

🥵🥵

Nice Video.

Yeah, it's dry out there. I did the Gerard Trail about a week ago, and it's a good thing they have water at the shelters, because I never knew how far the next water would be. Ooh, that's a nice view there at 13:31. A pizza stop on a section hike! Nothin' wrong with that. And I assume there was some AC in there, too.

I'm torrenting your video

Last weekend, during the heat wave, my wife and I took our truck camper to Cooks Forest SP and did a small loop hike... it was a little cooler in the tree cover than at our campsite but either way,, did like 2 miles and went back to an air conditioned rv for the best 45 minute power nap of my life. No way I'd put that on youtube tho 😂 I got so sick of making hiking video's for this reason.

Very cool man. That waterfall hole was awesome!

Bro i went fishing with Ryan on his channel in winter, and i have never seen ANYONE set up a home base and get a fire going as fast as he did. i had finished rigging my rod and making a couple cast and bro has water boiling....

Good stuff right here man. Honored to be on with you.

Interesting vid Kurt! I was in central KY about a month ago on a ham radio trip activating National Parks. I didn't think of stopping here. Maybe next time through! Thanks as always!!!

I remember stopping by there many, many years ago and taking pictures of that building and the spring. Seems like no one else was there that day and that building was not open. So I had no idea that cabin was in there! Now I've seen it. Thanks!

This looks like a great place to stop on your way home. I was surprised how small the cabin was. I also like how you pointed out that inscription on the building.

Our company is building a 3000 condo plex for the rich outside of there. That place will be packed soon.

I watched that video and remember how irritated you were. I didn't blame you!

Loved this Kurt!

In an older video you stated when a comment is posted and even if deleted you can still see it. This was a lesson you taught me, and I think about it from time to time and certainly when I am leaving a comment that can be taken the wrong way even if it is intended in a good way. I think it's great you did a podcast about this. In the hiking community we all should support each other (as stated by you). I did chuckle a bit that someone could get angry over a Kurt Zitzelman hike.

Any information on where to park/launch my kayak here? Read elsewhere that the access road is three miles long and gravel, which leads me to believe that it is exactly the kind of location I'm looking for😊

I agree with you 100%. I feel your pain with comments like this. I get them from time to time. I can’t fathom why someone would be so critical especially about someone they don’t know. Like what’s the point. Why does it bother them so much. To me I don’t care to much what other people do. I follow the blazes and the trip ends up being the way it is. I do it the way I want at the time. But I don’t understand why people are so angry that they comment like they do. Doesn’t make sense to me so I do t let it bother me. Keep doing what you are doing because you are doing great. 👍

Well said❤

Get em Kurt!

Nice to see what the above ground trails look like here. We visited, but only had time to tour the cave.

Thank you for your honest review. It's good to hear a real honest review rather than seeing gear reviewers pretending to be unbiased after doing a review deal with the manufacturer prior to the broadcast.

Wish I would have watched this before I bought it..thanks man

Great idea. Unable to hike at the moment. All the best😊

Thank you.😊

Great video Kurt. You guys saw alot more than we did on our hike

Wow great efforts ❤ from India

Great episode Kurt 👊🏻

Turtle swerving while driving, 2 species. I wonder if I should pull over and move the turtles off the road. (edit species) snapping turtles and something else... not a painted, but not a box turtle.

This episode made me think of a recent hike. When I did the north loop of Pichot I was about 3/4 of the way through and had a bit of a climb. As I neared the top, I saw a full-grown deer. I didn't see if it was a doe or buck, I was more scared because of its size and proximity to me. Got about 100 yards away and as I put my trekking pole down the smallest dear popped up from under a brush pile. It was not injured, and it ran towards the other deer. But I did think, what if I had injured the deer, what would I have done. Very interesting topic!! I think human emotion takes over when seeing a helpless animal.
