    Camp with friends builds a great community feel, few beers around the fire camaraderie👍

  9. Ranger Kooky on June 28, 2020 at 6:55 pm

    Okay thank you mr. Pickles is going to miss you

  10. Uwe Waidhauser on June 28, 2020 at 6:55 pm

    Happy Birthday Ken from Germany. I like what you are doing :-).

  11. Mike Kuna on June 28, 2020 at 6:56 pm

    Hi Ken, I stumbled on your videos, and I am glad that I did. You have a completely different approach to your outdoor videos. In many ways, I feel like I’m in class learning not only the techniques of hiking/camping but also the backstory. Where you a teacher? Anyway, thank you so much for all of the efforts that you put forth in your videos, I really enjoy them.

  12. Robert Chappell on June 28, 2020 at 6:56 pm

    Glad to see you back Ken!

  13. OD GREEN on June 28, 2020 at 6:57 pm

    What do you think of the military MSS sleep system being used like an old bed roll folded over and looped over the shoulder with all your possibles inside it? Could put a strap buckle on each end to buckle it together , been thinking of that sense I seen your video of the way they carried their belongings way back in the day. And happy birthday

  14. Melvin Howell on June 28, 2020 at 6:57 pm

    Great video, Ken…and HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! AND MANY, MANY MORE!!!

  15. ahouser53 on June 28, 2020 at 6:58 pm

    I love the Buffalo…went to Scout camp there several years in my youth (near Jasper)…gone back a couple of times as a Scoutmaster….

  16. NikonRules303 on June 28, 2020 at 7:00 pm

    I really enjoyed that video Ken. Gave me lots of project ideas.

  17. William The Great on June 28, 2020 at 7:01 pm

    Happy Birthday Ken I hope you enjoyed your day looks like you had a fantastic time out on your road trip. I have to say that 35 minute video went by very fast I enjoyed it very much. Keep up the awesome work and have a blessed day.

  18. Peakbaggers on June 28, 2020 at 7:02 pm

    Great video Ken! If you don’t mind me asking, what was the name of the underground waterfall trail you went on? It looked amazing — definitely want to experience that one day.

  19. Ryan Owczarczak on June 28, 2020 at 7:02 pm

  23. Andi on June 28, 2020 at 7:12 pm

    idk Ken. I didn’t think I could actually pick a favorite video from your channel, but I was wrong. This one is going to be my favorite thus far. I loved the cave adventure. I am terrified of small, enclosed spaces so I was thrilled to get to go along and experience the thrill of that awesome cave! I really love your friends. Everyone of them have a special personality and are really down to earth special folks. Thoroughly enjoyed this from top to bottom! 🙂 Gonna watch it again, right now. A first!

  24. curt foreman on June 28, 2020 at 7:13 pm

  25. Johnny George on June 28, 2020 at 7:15 pm

    Goodtimes in my jungles!

  27. Thomas Whitten on June 28, 2020 at 7:16 pm

    I canoed down the Buffalo River many, many years ago. The clear water makes it look shallower than it really is. It’s deep!
    Good video!!

  28. mountaingator001 on June 28, 2020 at 7:17 pm

    Glad to see you back Ken! I can not go camping anymore until I have my hip joint replaced…so I really enjoy all the videos you make and share with us. They makes me feel like I am camping with you. You have a very special way of expressing your feelings and thoughts, it comes through in your videos. The Worlds needs more people like you…a person who is at peace with the World and all it’s beauty. GOD BLESS You and Yours.

  32. ram dass on June 28, 2020 at 7:22 pm

    thaks for the video Kenneth. I would be freaking out in that cave. What if water started to flood in. The walls looked wet.

  33. Survive Without on June 28, 2020 at 7:22 pm

    What a joy. It would be a lot of fun to hangout with you guys sometime. That cave with the waterfall is something else. Me and my dad enjoyed that whole hike. Great video as always

  34. Darren Roberts on June 28, 2020 at 7:24 pm

    Hello Ken , really nice video with some great friends and some stunning night sky shots.Thanks for sharing. Atb Darren.

  35. Lee Grubb on June 28, 2020 at 7:26 pm

    First did you go in the cave? If not, why not? The water falls looked great. Is the water drinkable. Is this a park or private land? Looked like the 73 year old was putting the younger’s to shame!!! Glade your posting again!!! And as all ways, Thanks for taking US along!!!! HAPPY (Belated) BIRTHDAY!!!

  36. Den Smith on June 28, 2020 at 7:29 pm

  40. Ash Trix on June 28, 2020 at 7:30 pm

  41. Den Smith on June 28, 2020 at 7:31 pm

    Kenneth, have you been to Petit Jean Mountain State Park ? http://www.petitjeanstatepark.com/photo-gallery.aspx

  42. DiddyBushcraftnOutdoors on June 28, 2020 at 7:31 pm

    That was so good I almost feel like I was there. Hopefully I can meet with you guys again. Happy Birthday Ken, I was there when you were given the survival staff. The bear scene was so cute, made me laugh. Thanks for sharing.

  43. Bob808Knight on June 28, 2020 at 7:31 pm

    Jessica and I just watched a video and we loved it!!! The editing was outstanding and WOW the night lapses.. Man we had so much fun..LB wants to know when we are going to get together again… He has a lot of new gear he wants to share with Bear and Smoky… Plus we still need to hike the razor edge and do an overnight on that mountain..😁👍✌

  44. Ranger Kooky on June 28, 2020 at 7:32 pm

    Hello there mr. Kenneth don’t forget the ranger cookies meet this month 20th to the 26 are we really appreciate if you did come or at least let me know if you’re you’re going to come or not thank you

  45. Alvaro Diaz Castro on June 28, 2020 at 7:34 pm

    Happy birthday Ken, those moments hiking with friends are the best memories I have. No water tastes better than the natural streams from the mountains, no food taste better than the one you cook at a campfire, no better photos than those taken at early sunrise. Jokes, experiences, talks that feed our soul. You had a great journey there. Thumbs up.

  46. johnrpan on June 28, 2020 at 7:34 pm

    Happy Birthday Ken! You look decades younger than 73! Hope you’re able to make videos like this for many years! The bear video was a great ending!

  47. BuffaloRiverBackcountry on June 28, 2020 at 7:34 pm

    What a fantastic vid Ken! Jason and I were so grateful to have you all here and glad to have spent your birthday with ya! Hope we can all get together again next year. We had a blast! Just good natured folks enjoying good company, good food and great adventures. I smiled through it all and the time lapsed footage was phenomenal. We miss you all so much. Hopefully next time it’ll be a little warmer lol. Take care my dear friend. ATB-Jason and Krys ❤️

  48. SurviveN2 on June 28, 2020 at 7:38 pm

    It looks like everyone had a good time there. I miss going to Arkansas, I used to go to the Ouachita National Forest area, loved it there 😊 Happy Bday Ken, mine was in the beginning of April 😊 That was a great looking present you got 👍 TFS

  49. D. Kennedy on June 28, 2020 at 7:39 pm
