Come along on my 28 mile solo backpacking hike in the Porcupine Mountains in Upper Michigan. See Lake of the Clouds, Mirror Lake, Lake Superior, Little carp River, and Big Carp River along with multiple waterfalls and old growth forest. I camp in a tent, cook with a camping stove, make fires and swim with minnows nibbling my toes.
Thank you for sharing this perspective. The Porcupine Mountain area is probably the most beautiful area in the UP.
It sure is! Thanks for watching! The next episode is up 😊
Hello! I’ve been looking for some Porcupine Mtns backpacking info, and ran across your channel. Absolutely loving the content and your perspective! I’m always a solo camper (and also can’t take the morning energy’ people😂), so it’s really fun to see your take on these spots and situations. Thanks for sharing from a new subscriber!
Welcome aboard! (Said quietly in case it's morning when you read this)
A good show. I miss that zone.
I'm with ya, I go out there for peace and solitude, but hey it's a shared space we just go with it. Lol! Love your channel hope you keep going!
Hello Angela. I am truly enjoying your videos. You have an innate ability to be very endearing to those who are watching. I feel as though you are talking to everyone individually. Your videography style is well suited to the content you present. I loved when you hugged the tree. It reminded me of the Tommy James song, Draggin' the line, "Like hugging a tree when you get near it". Thank you for sharing. As always, take the best of care.
Thank you so much! I really try to talk as though I'm hanging out with a real friend. I appreciate all of you coming along with me virtually. 🙂
Amazing to see such beautiful things as the river otters playing. Amazing hiking adventure. I’ve done some day hikes on my channel but nothing as long as your trek! Thanks for showing me Michigan. You’ve got a new subscriber 😊 Jackie
Very cool and real feeling channel...fun to watch...thanks✌️
Thank you!
You are so brave to have challenged the blood suckers lol! But after a day of hiking I bet the water was amazing. Love your content- thanks for inspiring with your adventures
It was very refreshing! Thanks for stopping by :)
Wow, I didn't know you have a CZcams channel. Great job!
Looking to hike the porkies next year!
It's such a special place! There's a group on Facebook that you should check out if you aren't part of it already.
What time of the year did you go out? Also, do you remember the campsite IDs? I’m thinking about going out the end of September. Great video!
Hi there, this was middle of August I believe. If you message me over on my Gypsytrekker Facebook I'll look up the campsites for you if you need.
Just came across ur channel, its 3 months old ,so what's happening now adays, down for holiday's an winter or what ,enjoyed ur camping trip
Hiking poles are like 4 wheel drive for me. How were the bugs and mud?
The bugs weren't terrible, as they can be earlier in the year in that area. When I was going through swampy areas, it was more of those little ones that fly into your eyes that were bad. The mud also wasn't bad
Do you have to reserve the campsites or no? Google was saying no but other videos I've watched said they had to reserve the camp site? Did you have to do that or can you just hike and set up camp when you get to a site?
Yes, you definitely need to reserve the campsites ahead of time. You can call there or go through the DNR reservation site online. They are often pretty much booked several months out but you can luck out with cancellations now and then.
Is it safe hiking/camping along that trail?
Yes it's generally a very safe area, as always, just be aware of your surroundings and be prepared.
You changed hair color.
Actually I didn't change my hair color, just finally bleached out my overgrown roots lol.
@@AngelaJoyAdventures Christ, I thought it was all that UP sun this summer. When I was young and beautiful, I would go to Redridge beach and tan like the Finn I am and hang with the few girls left over from Michigan Tech, ahhh the good old days, if the stamp sand could talk😂😂😂😂😂😂
