When you gotta go you gotta go! Always bring an extra shirt! Thank you for that hike you guys are awesome!
Good looking buff!
Are the state parks/forests now open?
I don’t know what your foot pathology is, but I highly recommend looking up Correct Toes on YouTube. If Sarah is wearing Altras, perhaps she knows about them already. Personally I can only go for long walks while wearing the toe spacers, as they correct my gait and help prevent plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy. This isn’t an advertisement, just a subscriber who has had foot problems lol. Cheers
Great video really enjoyed it and just subscribed! I’m from the city of Sunderland UK and I love watching people’s videos from other countries. Maybe you could check out our channel "Bonny Lads On Tour" 👍
Love those tall, tall pines!
If you want to try out the trail runners, wear some good smart wool socks. That should keep your feet warm. That looks like a great area. The Gopro looks cool. The problem that I have with mine is uploading from it. Thanks for sharing!
Still have not made it out to Sand Ridge. Congrats on 1000 subscribers, wow!
I love this park. Great opportunity for secluded hikes.
Really dig those campsites. In my neck of the woods there is nothing that flat, or open. The mountains are rocky and the trees grow wherever they can. All the lakes and the ocean is so crowded you could never be alone anywhere. Sarah’s sense of humor cracks me up, and all that Werther’s talk. Lmao!! What the hell were you thinking!! 😂
Still can’t believe you told that story….
Still snow in Illinois? Wowsers
Oh yeah. backpacking lunch!!!
