Can I ask what kind of a zip jacket I saw you wearing? It looked like a fleece . . .

Thank you so much for this!

Your videos are the best! I have done sections of the OLP but never the whole trail - I hope to do it in 2025.

You guys are lucky with your technology. I did it back in the 1990s. There were no go pros, no internet. I had a paper map.

Another great trip in the books.

Love your video styles, definitely original and great…You are amongst the few that inspired me to start my own channel on backpacking/hiking. Thank you!

Nice video. I hike the OLP every year.

Enjoyed the 3 videos of the OLP. You really showed a good deal of the trail itself giving me the "feel"of the trail. Guess I need to add this to my list. Thank you so much for sharing your excellent videos and I look forward to your next journey. Rainmaker ☔

Great video Great trail one of my favorites

Really like your videos in the Catskills including your recent 2024 Escarpment hikes as they refresh my memories. Grew up 3500' west of the Barnum Road Trailhead (which didn't exist at that time) left for college in 1966, never to permanently return. Initially between Maplecrest village and home there were only two other houses on the road and the Beer's farm was the closest neighbor. Barnum road was dirt with the farm at the upper end and only one or two summer homes otherwise. The road was not maintained in the winter and I remember Elmer Barnum pulling a sled down to the Maplecrest store and post office in town. In the summer he rode an Indian motorcycle or had a wagon pulled by an oxen. The only DEC trail I remember in those days was the one that started at Dr. Gunderson's (sp?) place at the east end of the hollow and went up Blackhead. Ruined a pair of new shoes one spring by climbing Blackhead before all the snow had melted (and sliding down grasping saplings along the way). I recall one Christmas several male members of the Hitchcock family and some of their friends climbed and camped out on top of Blackhead leading to some interesting stories. Big Hollow was settled in the 1790's by a member of the Hitchcock family and one of his descendants, Elwood Hitchcock, authored a book, "Big Hollow," in 1993 published by Black Dome Press Corp., that gives a short history of the area before the invasion fostered by the completion of the NYS Thruway. Contrary to one of the comments below, more people leaving NYC and settling in the Catskills will not enable a comeback. Locals have been driven from the area by a flood of weekend home purchasers who replaced summer vacationers. By the way, the second "a" in Batavia is a long "a".

Great second day on trail.

Downhill to end the day at camp - ideal. I bring my string lights along sometimes to lift my morale. Still struggling to find a freeze dried meal that works for me. Looking forward to seeing day 3.

Thank-you for the video. We have hiked part of it and hope to complete it this Spring!

Awesome day 1 love the wilderness edition by the way we have been thinking of upgrading our outback. I always think of camping in that area but it has never lined up well with my planned mileage. Be interesting to see of the Rattlesnakes are out when you get to the rock outcrop section we have seen them there as late as the end of Sept.

Thanks for the video! I'm planning to do this trail in the Spring and can't wait!

Nice OBW…😂 I have one too. 🥾🥾😎⛺️

Awesome stuff 👍🏻

Loved watching this! My husband and I are doing this trail in the spring. We enjoy every video you put on and look forward to them! Thank you for putting the work and effort into making these videos.

Nice video. I’ve camped in that same spot several times.

Love your videos, and love this trail! Thank you for all the great work you put into this.

Welcome to High Peaks trails (read rocks and mud. Lol!) and Adirondack biting critters. Try this hike during the peak of black fly season and you're really know the meaning of biting bugs. 🙂

Garmin GPS maps have the STS trails included. Been hunting Hammersley for 40 yrs.

Backpackers are ruining this trail with their campsites.

I love the gps fly overs. Also we will never know if you got that burger and Coke !!!!!!

Easy to miss that sign but that's where it pays to question yourself. Great hike thanks for taking us along.

That was B E A UTIFUL 😊 I feel you should have stopped for water. Just a thought 🙂

i did marcy this autumn solo. got a lot more snow and even ice while i summited by the route you took to descend, it was hard but absolutly beautiful. i hope i have the change to do your route during the summer tho. Great video btw!!!

Why would you hike without a sturdy walking stick

Where have you been,always enjoyed your videos

I like yours videos!!!!

The hike up to the Beaver Meadow lean too is nice also

That is a really nice hike. I have done it 3 times. Lots of wildlife and lots of wild flowers in the spring.

Looks like a nice stream to fish for wild brook trout!

Part of an old stone fence or foundation that someone put a cairn on top of it.

Thx for sharing. I always enjoy ur videos.

Great hike. Overall nice trail a bit overgrown this time of year.

Great trail

Good to see you out on trail That’s a great hike

Persistence indeed. Seems prudent to understand one's water sources before consuming. I was hiking through farmland and there was no filtering anything for me. I found a gas station and bought what I needed. Anyway, hoping the final stage brings some easier miles.

You should come to western pa and hike the laurel highlands hiking trail it's 70 miles long with great views

Good video 🎉

Was that hurricane Debbie threatening your hike?

The nature sounds your recording are amazing. What are you recording with?

Wonderful filming. Loved your video. Thank for sharing

Hi, What time of the year you made it? Good video. Thanks

very nice hike

This is indeed so very heartwarming and so very wonderful and so very beautiful and so very adorable and this brings back such great memories of when I use to be a 90s kid and an early 2000s kid and I am a new subscriber as well:).

Great 1st day but man that is a lot of growth on the trail. I haven't hiked this area yet but have heard stories of Red Mo. It's crazy how that shows up on the google earth view.

Always good to see a new post from you. These vlogs are invaluable to anyone researching this trail. Water, camp, signs etc.

a masterpiece video
