Nice trail!!! Those shelters are pretty cool!!!
Yes indeed brother! They spoil you quickly. It was nice not carrying a tent all week!
Great vid and a great hike. Love the LHHT!
It's a wonderful trail indeed! Thank you for watching!
Beautiful video, as always. The only thing better then finishing a trail, is getting to the next trailhead! See you soon.
Thank you Tonya! True words!
Hey Thanks enjoy all of the videos brother keep on humping and merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!!!
Nice video. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas my friend!
I'm looking forward to checking this trail out soon. Awesome camping for sure! Happy Holidays bud!
Thanks buddy! You'll love every minute of it! Happy Holidays!
Excellent!
Thank you for watching!
Great trip Nick. Good thing you got off the water when you did. That looked like a nasty storm coming in.
By the time we got to Samuel's mom to visit, it started hailing and pouring!!! Glad we did too!
Just stumbled upon your channel researching the LHHT and wow you guys both did an excellent job showing this area, can’t beat the fall foliage here in western PA. Subscribed to you looks like I’ll be watching a lot of your videos here!
Thank you! Out on an adventure right now! I loved the LHHT!
Lovin this thru! Never heard of the trail and your footage is fantastic. Colors galor. Yay! PA! Hello from the PNW! 💚💚
Thank you! I definitely need to visit the PNW!!!

Great one, brother! Another thru hike in the books. Y’all definitely hit the trail at peak color- I would argue that the rainy day was most beautiful- those colors with the leaves wet snd glistening were POPPING! And I was cracking up at your bloopers! I’m gonna have to have a talk with Chad, I didn’t realize he fell to the tuna dark side! Sorry I couldn’t make this one, but thanks for creating this memory for me to come along with you from the comforts of Greensburg! Merry Christmas, Trail Bro!
Merry Christmas brother! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Chad and I talked so much about how we missed our brother. You were definitely hiking along in spirit! I'm sorry for converting Chad! He even had fancy tuna packets 🤣🤣🤣!
@@Smokeybeesnatural 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@Smokeybeesnatural also that spam in your ramen 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Don't knock it, till you try it brother! It's wonderful!
This is sooooooooooooooo beautiful! (I was honestly just wondering where you went!) I wonder what it all looks like now?? With the BOMB CYCLONE!!! I'm in Houghton, Michigan. The Upper Peninsula...and it's white out. Not as nasty as a lot of people have it...but it's just white out. LOVE this all..the birds chirping, the mosses, lil' critters, etc....and what's the story behind touching mile markers?? (or whatever those things are...) I bet the smells were just fabulous! I wonder if the ski hill does color tours...they do U.P. here. When people go places and ask me if I want anything...I tell them "A rock". Wouldn't THAT be fun! Get me a rock. lol
I'm still here! Just been busy and in a creative funk 🤣. I live in Kentucky a few minutes south of Cincinnati Ohio and the temps Yesterday were -9 with -30 windchill. Worse thing... only a couple inches of snow 🤷♂️! We were pleasantly surprised with the mile markers, so touching them was like giving them high fives as we made our way down the trail! Just a weird hiker thing! The rocks in the UP are good for collecting! I follow a gentleman on Facebook that hunts rocks with copper deposits in the Keweenaw Penninsula and makes art pieces with them!
@@Smokeybeesnatural And I'm sure they are beyond stunning!
I finally got the chance to sit down and watch it, and it was well worth the wait! You captured the colors spectacularly! Especially the yellows and the greens. Everything looks so warm. There are too many good moments to list them all, but here are some of the things I liked: the flashback to the motel, the yellow fern shots, the toe gore, all the rock labyrinth shots but especially the one where there's a little bridge over the rocks and the trees above are golden, the woolly worm, that wide shot of us walking in the ferns that took so long to set up, the relief of getting to camp on night 2, the horses, the shots at the pond, the final overlook, and the 3-2-1-0 countdown at the end.
Thanks so much for immortalizing this trip, and for inviting me to join you. It was an experience I'll remember forever, and I couldn't have done it without you. I'll be watching this one in the future whenever I want to remember what it was like to hike the (so far) longest trail of my life. Thanks again, brother. Here's to the next one!
Thank you for joining me! I'm glad I could enjoy it with you and to be there for your longest trip, AND longest day! Yes, that wide shot in the ferns! Well worth it! I'm glad we waited and didn't rush it! Until the next adventure....! Be sure to stock up on tuna and spam 🤣
@@Smokeybeesnatural Tuna yes. Spam... I'm not sure Samuel can handle that level of betrayal yet.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This trail is one that is definitely on my bucket list. Great video Nick.
Thank you! It makes for a wonderful week long trip! Or, a crazy weekend 😜 !
Your cinematography is simply extraordinary my friend. You are able to convey such amazing sense of nature. Fantastic upload.
Thank you so much, and thank you for watching!
What a great hike, such a beautiful place to visit and explore. Happy Holidays.
Thank you for watching!
Those shelters looked really nice. Must have been great not having to haul a shelter over the 70 miles! Excellent job capturing all of the little details throughout the hike. Beautifully shot 👌👌Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Yes, not having to haul a tent, was the best!
A beautiful Autumn (Fall) hike Nick. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours from across the pond in Stafford England UK. Looking forward to what 2023 holds in the hiking calendar. If you want to help a small channel out then please join me on my Ethel Challenge. I'm not polished like you, it's all raw, but I'm having fun and that's the main bit.
🎅🎄☃️❄️🤶
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope 2023 beings you many adventures! Thank you for watching!
