Terrible Ideas
Добавлен 19 май 2017
Bad ideas implemented.
Is this the most dangerous trail in Acadia National Park? (Precipice Trail)
WARNING: People have been SERIOUSLY HURT and some have DIED from falls on this “trail” which is more of a climbing route. Please only attempt if you are an experienced hiker with no fear of heights or anxiety/panic disorder. This is footage of me hiking this when the trail is wet. Also hiked it the day after when the trail dried up again. I can attest that there’s a lot more traction when it’s dry and so avoid hiking when wet if possible. Skip to the end to find a map of my route. 99.99% of hikers will not descend down the precipice trail and instead use an easier route down. It is not recommended to descend the precipice trail, especially when it’s busy, as you will inconvenience hikers ...

Province Point, is a tiny parcel of US land that is only accessible from Canada. It is at the northeastern corner of Lake Champlain. Near Alburgh Vermont, and Plage-Desranleau Quebec. I paddled to it to investigate!
how to avoid boston traffic and park for free!

PSA: do not attempt if not an experienced paddler. Wear a life jacket and bring an air horn. Anyone who’s ever driven into Boston will know what a painful experience it is. Here I have devised a cunning method to avoid Boston traffic and park for free once in the city. Skip to the end to find a map of my route. Here I paddle from Upper Mystic Lake, through to Lower Mystic Lake, and down the Mys...
Highest Mountain in Illinois (Arduous Climb)
Просмотров 2462 месяца назад
This is a story of resilience. Join me as I try to summit the formidable Charles Mound, at a whopping 1235ft above sea level, the highest mountain in Illinois. In all seriousness though, this is private property, and public access is only allowed on the first full weekend of June, July, August and September, as well as President’s day weekend in February. I hiked here on September 7th 2024. Ple...

Skip to the end to see a map of my route. This was a crazy hike up the Bigelow Mountain in Maine. Fire Wardens Trail - Appalachian Trail - Horns Pond Trail. Maine 4000 footers.
Trying to be in 3 states at once because I have no life

Trying to get to the exact point where three states meet, specifically Vermont, Massachusetts, and New York. Such a point is commonly referred to as a tripoint. This random spot in the woods is a little tricky to get to. Skip to the end of the video to find an image of the exact route I took.

Highest Point in Middlesex County MA
Просмотров 434 месяца назад
Dumb man visits the point of highest elevation in Middlesex County MA, which is a random place in the woods right on the border of Worcester County MA. This place is about 1580 feet above sea level.
If you are out of breath in the first 50 feet of the trail head. Dude, you are not in your wheelhouse. I would suggest maybe Pokemon Go.
Yes I am an idiot, correct
my favorite parts: "not too bad..." *starts climbing* "UHHHHH GAHHHH* "run...run....ruhhhh....RUHHH...bigfoot want up" *points* "achababababa"
That is pretty awesome. The constant burping is not...
Sorry, going uphill makes me burp
@@terribleideas2 LOL that's fine, but I think closing your mouth while doing it would keep it off the audio for the most part.
@@pseudonym3690That’s what I would’ve done if there were other people on the trail with me. Out of courtesy to other hikers. This is one of the most popular trails in Acadia, so when I miraculously had it to myself, I was like ok, time to be as obnoxious as humanly possible.
@@terribleideas2 I see 😁
That’s just nuts!
What a terribly great idea! Love these places! Keep the videos coming.
I am in disbelief. You did that. A truly terrible idea, fitting for this channel. Bravo!
How many miles was that? You should get a Sea Eagle EZ-Cart for your Explorer so you don't have to carry it for the portage. The wheels will store in the kayak fine. You could also add a trolling motor or Bixpy to that. I have a Sea Eagle Paddleski 435ps kayak, and I have a powerful Torqeedo motor on it. So I can go for many times at a decent speed, not worry about winds or currents, and paddle at similar performance to the Explorer when I want.
This ended up being about 13 miles or so. If you skip to the end of the video you can see a map of my route. I do have a separate inflatable boat and a 5hp gas motor but I wanted to do this adventure as a paddle for the fun of it!
This was by far the greatest video from you. Especially the parts that consisted of hiking in delirium. Yes. Fine content. Now if you really want to try a terrible idea, hike up to the top of Mt. Monadnock in NH on a 90 degree humid summer day...I almost died of heat exhaustion/stroke. Would totally recommend (not). Please keep these videos coming!
Yeah bring lots of water with you if it's gonna be hot! I've ventured up Monadnock a couple of times but never when it was that hot. Maybe I should make a video out of it at some point? I dunno. I have many terrible ideas to implement but not enough time. Alas.
@@terribleideas2 I feel you on that. I've ended up on some terrible hikes that definitely were terrible ideas. But I'm looking forward to more of your content. If you need any terrible ideas I definitely have some New England spots I could recommend. Let me know!
@@Dmh13208 Yeah always open to new ideas!
@@terribleideas2 becket quarry Mass (haunted), mt Everett Mass, Macedonia Brook Loop CT just to start. Stay safe!
how many hrs did it take you?
About 5 hours of moving. Maybe an additional half hour filming and taking breaks.
We have a Tripoint up here too(NH!) Our Tripoint is where NH, ME& Quebec meet. You gotta bushwhack to get to it though. I wanna go check out this Tripoint that you did. The trees are stunning❤ Edit: you just woke up and decided to drive 3 hours to do this? Hero! You point out cool trees along your way and become Bigfoot? HERO! I respect your exploratory spirit and adoration for nature. ❤❤❤
Well if you stick to the trails or at least keep them in view you'll never get lost, also the sun rises in the East sets in the West basically if you get lost you were meant to get lost! Be more worried about mountain lions over a bear, and if you believe in them your more likely to run across a sasquatch of dogman before a skinwalker. Just sayin!
@@shaun8256 Thanks for the advice bro! Mountain lions and sasquatches work together to hunt hikers down, especially in western massachusetts. That’s why I always make sure to hike with an unmanned aerial drone with infrared threat reconnaissance system and heat seeking missiles.
I did the Nutting ledges (no nut though) this summer and it was brutal for me going up to Watatic. The views were not worth the pain and punishment I endured (views obscured by overgrowing vegetation) and we did not have the strength to continue to the last ledge you showed (it was a heat wave day- terrible idea). I totally recognize that tree on the left with the big hole in it at 23:18. My favorite part of this video was: "Ok...gun fire. Woooo!"
Insane video! I am currently in New Hampshire and could never do these type of hikes. Too anxious. Thank you for sharing!
Wowzers
I am dying at the burping and random howls...tears in my eyes LMAO. I can relate to this video so much. this was so entertaining to watch, please keep the videos AND commentary coming.
Thanks for the positive feedback, and thanks for watching! I do enjoy documenting my adventures so I can relive them later.
Cant believe you didnt support locally and hired sherpas
The highest point in Illinois does not mean the farthest view. The Shawnee National Forest is arguably the most beautiful part of Illinois and the views are spectacular.
@@UseByDate-Expired I do know about the Shawnee National Forest and it is on my bucket list. Charles Mound is in northwestern Illinois, so I also went to Mississippi Palisades state park, and Maquoketa Caves State Park and Effigy Mounds National Monument in nearby Iowa.
Great commentary, I have a similar sense of humor as you apparently. What a neat place. Enjoyed your trip. Definitely keep doing these, i think they will be a hit!
I enjoy doing this stupid stuff. Thanks for watching! Enjoy at your leisure
Great content
lying trees when you're on 100mgs of caffeine is what I call high treason
Wow that's 3 states all at once. You did what many others have only dreamed of

Thanks for pointing out the pooping spots. I get nervous about having to poop with people walking around.
Yes in an emergency those spots will do. Poop below treeline if at all possible. Bring a trowel to hide the evidence. Happy pooping
Will be hiking the trail loop this coming Monday. Thanks for this video 🙏🏻
nutting edge is not real :
