Hiking with Jerry
США
Добавлен 28 июл 2020
Jerry here! Hiking and backpacking is one of my passions. My channel is from the perspective of a section hiker; trail hacks, the basics of backpacking, and some of my anecdotes from the many mistakes I've made over the years. I don’t know if I will ever become a thru-hiker, so I’m likely just like you; enjoying the trail when I can get away from work.
This channel began as your basic "this is how I do it." I've now evolved this into hiking to raise awareness for causes which I feel are important. On the local, national, and international level, I feel moved to try to raise awareness and money to help make the world a better place. A gigantic goal, I am aware. Can one person make a change? Yes!
Out on the Appalachian Trail my trail name is Monsoon.

On The AT Across The Roan Highlands
A 30-mile section hike on the Appalachian Trail, starting at Iron Mountain Gap and finishing at Highway 19E in Tennessee.
The Mountain Blazers, a hiking club based in the southeast, ventured across the Roan Highlands, an iconic part of the Appalachian Trail. The trip did not disappoint. Wonderful views and great times spend with friends.
Our hiking club has become an extended family of sorts. At the end of each adventure we each look to our next time together in the woods.
We hope you enjoy!

As a section, I am now at mile 637 in Virginia (Pearisburg). Most of this was filmed while with my hiking family, The Mountain Blazers. Some of it was during a few solo hikes.

My Return To Virginia

Returning to this area via the AT was a great experience. Though I briefly discuss it in this video at the end, I remain focused on hiking to raise awareness and money for the victims of domestic violence...

Carrying & Treating Water On The Appalachian Trail
Просмотров 8803 года назад
An overview of ways to treat the water you collect in the wilderness. For me, how much I carry while hiking, and treating my water, are two subjects which go hand in hand. It's about planning; knowing the conditions you will encounter on your hike. Will water sources be abundant? How much I carry while hiking is dependent upon the availability to refuel along the route. And then, I want to have...
