I know im late to the show, but what were the dates you decided to do this trail? I'm looking to do it this fall for 2024!
@@midwayxray I had gone mid October starting around the 15th. Just be mindful of weather patterns in the Shawnee and keep your eye on temps weeks in advance. Cold fronts are guaranteed to ruin your thru-hike if your not properly prepared for below freezing temps. Otherwise, if your able to plan your thru-hike around the temp changes, you CAN have an amazing fall hike experience! I look forward to seeing your adventure!
@savagetraveler thank you so much for the reply!! I was planning early October but man I would love to see those tree colors, I may have to take couple week delay weather permitting!
@@midwayxray the color change is definitely worth it! Absolutely gorgeous hiking experience!
Happy first, little man! ❤️
This is awesome!! I will absolutely love to read this!! 💪💪
@@tridudyonthetrail thanks!!! My first book is available for free: www.rivertorivertrail.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/2023_Glenn_Lawrentz_from-west-to-east-STANDARD.pdf
@@savagetraveler Nice! Just downloaded it! Thank you!!
@@tridudyonthetrail thank YOU Mark! Lemme know what you think!
Ya, I cried. Nice video, bro. Beautiful footage.
@@djchristensen1 thanks brother. Appreciate you! 💯
This is a very powerful story… I’m sincerely so sorry for your loss. I also am very appreciative of the memorial for your loved ones. What a beautiful and amazing place… thank you for sharing and bringing us along. Prayers for you and your loved ones!!
@@tridudyonthetrail thank you Mark! It really is an amazing place!
Wow, that was very impressive. Thank you for taking me up that mountain.
@@user-gu8cp1pd2e thank you for watching! ❤✌🤙
How did you make your daily maps?
@@MurvFisher-gs2ui i printed the maps from the trail guide into a smaller size. I think 3x5, so as many as 3 to 4 maps per page. Then I cut them out, put cardboard in between and poor man laminated two maps together so that they'd be double sided and correspond from one map to the next. I still have the original maps I made, I'd be willing to send them to ya. By the time I'm able to get back out on the R2R for my solo thru-hike it may be another year or two
@@MurvFisher-gs2ui i never really used the maps anyway, I relied on the Avenza map app on my phone which was very accurate, always showed where I was on the map and never failed me
Great video's Thanks for sharing and congrats. on your completion. Of R2R trail
@@mikecrook8650 thank you so much! I hope to return someday to complete my solo east to west thru-hike.
Thanks for the video. You had a drone for those last shots of Inspiration Point? Those shots were nice
I had found footage of Inspiration Point that I utilized in my video. I'd love to get a drone tho! Spendy little gadgets
Ive been bingeing your videos. Im in Illinois as well. I used to live near Waterfall Glenn but now i love in Plano Illinois. So im still only 50ish minutes away and about the same away from Starved Rock. Id be down to do some hikes/thru hikes with you if you wanted company.
Appreciate it!! Thank you for watching my channel! I love Waterfall Glen. I'll keep you posted if I have any future planned hikes.
I loved this
Thank you! ❤
Attempting in two days
Enjoy! I thought it was an amazing backpacking adventure!
I LOVE Giant City state Park! Have stayed there twice - not enough!
I didn't have a chance to really explore that area and when I came through it was rather quick in the early morning. But the lodge restaurant was definitely worth the stop. Delicious food and fuel for the hike.
@@savagetraveler GREAT breakfasts. Too bad you weren't able to stay for a fried chicken dinner. A gone-to-heaven experience.
@@dianefreeman7194 I've wanted to try their fried chicken dinner so badly, the three times I've come to this trail I've missed it... perhaps whenever I return I can plan it right to where I make it to one
@savagetraveler I live at the very top of Illinois, so driving 7-8 hours for a meal is too much. But the Giant City Lodge has better food than 90% of restaurants I ate at during my travels. Best biscuits and gravy, beating most southern places. Now I have made myself hungry!
@@dianefreeman7194 🤣 i totally understand. I live near Chicago. Is definitely a drive, but when I have plans to make it down there its definitely a must stop and yes their Biscuits and gravy are delicious! Along with there chicken fried steak and I think one year I had a prime rib sandwich that was out of this world. Darn. I'm hungry now too 😆
Congratulations!!! Very happy for you and your family!! Wishing you all the best!!
Thank you so much Mark!!! Most appreciate it! Looking forward to more of your hiking trips!
This was really cool! I have watched and enjoyed several of your thru-hike videos. You do great work.
Thank you Stephen! I really appreciate it! I'm glad you've enjoyed my content, the videos I create and the work I put into each one. Thank you! 🙏
The Shawnee national Forest is my backyard the river to river trail has always been a dream on mine. I need to get lost in the woods, and find my heart and soul again. I need to start working towards this.
I would like to say that it is more than worth the experience. I live hundreds of miles away. It takes me the better part of half a day to get there. But the feeling and experience I receive on the trail brings me back every single year. I'm addicted to this trail!
@@savagetraveler I've done segments of it from time to time mainly just day trips life is just so busy it's hard to squeeze that much free time to do the whole thing at once. I live about 3 or 4 miles north of giant city state park. I really enjoyed your series on this hike gave me motivation to try just a little harder.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have another series from the year prior where I had a failed attempt. I'm hoping to return this Fall to reattempt my solo westbound thru-hike of the River to river
@@savagetraveler good luck in your next attempt and maybe I'll see you on the trail someday!
First couple minutes were giving me Blair Witch vibes lol
🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic!! Congrats to you both! I really enjoyed following the adventure... When I make the time to do this, I may reach out and ask for any advice. Also, you really put together a nice story with the narrations, credits, and all that. I could learn a lot from how well you put your videos together (I'm just really lazy!). Anyway, thank you for sharing this!
Thanks Mark! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! If you end up wanting to do it, let me know. I wouldn't mind doing this trail again.
Nice!! Can’t wait for the rest of it! Thank you for sharing this adventure!!
Thank you for watching Mark! I too can't wait to see your next outdoor hiking adventure! 👀🙏
Nice
Great trail! I think I completed it the day after you guys started. That's funny. What is funnier is that is my white van parked in the Crooked Creek parking lot with all the stickers at the start of the video. Lol. Weird to see it on here.
We admired all the stickers on your van! You hike or visit all those places?
Yes. We've collected the stickers from road trips throughout the years. Mostly with our kids when they were younger. A good way to decorate up the otherwise church bus!
Awesome!! Dig the trail names, for sure! Great video, man! Can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks Mark! Glad you enjoyed it! Would've been great to have you along, we'll all have to team up and plan on another adventure together! Hope all is well.
Keep on goin! Nice one! Shoutout from the PNW
Thank you! I'll be out in the PNW this summer to do some hiking! Thanks for watching!
Savage Beatz & Jamz!
Haha! Thanks for watching Ryan! Hope you enjoyed!
I just got back yesterday from hiking the Tecumseh southbound. It was a great trail. When are you going?
Awesome! Hope you had a great time! Which direction did you travel? I completed last week. 46.5 miles in 2.5 days. My day 1 will be uploaded soon. Thanks for watching!
@@savagetraveler I hiked from north to south. Stayed at Foxes Den and Yellowwood.
Nice!! Got a couple new ones to catch now!! I personally loved “A Walk in the Woods” but I know a lot of people think Bill Bryson’s humor is super smug and condescending. Personally, I love the sarcasm. “Wild”, I agree was super great. I read the book too and it was a pretty wild adventure. Thanks for sharing and look forward to catching the ones I haven’t seen yet!!
Thanks for watching Mark! Let me know when you finally see "Happiness for Beginners", I thought that one was hilarious. And Emile Hirsch was great in his role depicting Christopher McCandless in the movie "Into the Wild". I'm curious what you think of these movies so get back to me and let me know. Good to talk with you!
@@savagetraveler So… I literally just finished watching “Happiness for Beginners.” I’m a sucker for rom-coms, but this was awesome! Movies that literally make me laugh out loud are the best! I’ll totally watch that one again! Excellent pick!!
Good luck on your hike. Thanks for bringing your camera and taking us along.
Thank you for watching and following along Pat! Truly appreciate your support!!! Hope all is well! Stay in touch!
Aw, man! I’m super excited for you!! And super bummed I can’t make it, but will love vicariously through your trip! Thanks for sharing!!
Cheers mate, great video, cool tips and nicely put together 🙂 Good luck with your adventures and all the best with you channel, I know how much work you have to put in to get these upload, subscribed ✌🏻
Thank you! I appreciate you! Also subscribed! 👍 Australia has such beautiful country! I look forward to watching your content! And thank you again, for checking out my channel!
Wow! Great tips here and totally agree with you! That Gear Doctor Apollo Air is actually a really impressive sleeping pad for that price!
Great video Glen! If you want to add on to the hike at Herrick Lake, you can start at Leask and Butterfield (I park by the Oberwies) and walk through Danada forest preserve. It connects with the Herrick trails.
Sorry, I just listened a little more and heard you say there were no camp site. Sorry for the interruptions.
Savage, did you have any planned camp sites along the Fox River trail? I have biked the entire length several times and I can think of a few sites where one might stealth camp (not sure if legally), but I never really considered it. So, any insights would be helpful because it might be fun to walk sometime. Thanks.
Right on, man, everything you two hoped for. Happy 6 months, lil man!
Is the River to River trail an ultimate long distance hiking experience?
For someone it could be yes
I understand what you are getting at but it is physically impossible to hike a trail like the Appalachian Trail without taking a day off every so often. I totally agree with you on trail conditions.
Got it, you are referring to what is called "yellow blazers". @@savagetraveler
Peeps who do that are only cheating themselves. I can only assume that they don't feel the same sense of accomplishment, which is priceless in my book. And to those complaining about trail conditions....where's your sense of adventure???
Yes! 100% agree! 👍
Not sure why you keep failing. I made it in 10 days first attempt March 2014.
I did make it. In 9 days. I only failed it once. ruclips.net/video/Ju3PZH8zwpI/видео.html
Did you guys camp or is this a training hike?
Training hike
Sounds like agreat time! Can't wait to see the footage of your hike.
Thanks!!! And thank you so much for watching!!!
I loved that trail.
Tecumsuh is on my list as well. I'm thinking PROBABLY the Knobstone first though. Not sure yet. Good luck!
Oh holy crap! I won! 🤣
@@cadleclan9 Thank you!!
Super exited for your adventure!! On my list as well!
Nailed it! Not gonna lie, number 10 hits home. I almost stayed out in a hurricane on the JMT because I was too stubborn. My wife would have killed me (if I didn’t die!) 😂 Loved your River to River trail hike too (hopefully already told ya that though). Knobstone trail, my friend, let’s make it happen! Cheers!
Thanks for watching! And I hope you enjoyed my R2R adventures. Heading back out on the R2R in October and I mught be heading out on the Tecumseh this March/April!
@@savagetraveler Heck yeah, I enjoyed those adventures! Because of you, it’s on my list! Tecumseh is on my list too! Wishing you all the best, my friend!
These are all solid tips! #1 hits home hiking in the NW. The weather can change at any moment so plan ahead!
My bro! Thank you for watching! I definitely miss hiking in the Cascades! Need to make it back there! Thank you bro!
My favorite is your 2023 RTR thru-hike full series video. All in one spot and having hiked the Garden of the Gods area some myself, it was really cool to see more of the area. Thanks for the videos. -Steve C.
Thanks for watching Steve! Glad you enjoyed the thru-hike series for my 2023 hike... I should do another one 🤔
Great video. These are the first cold soak recipes ive seen besides oatmeal. This makes it actually look like a viable option for backpacking!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your feedback for this meal option video for backpacking food recipes.
Glenn - Good work on documenting your adventure! I’m considering a thru hike next month. I’m curious, what do you have for a power bank? Do you remember the locations where you were able to recharge?
Thanks for watching my video, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I also wrote a book on the thru hike which covers a lot more that is not detailed in the video. U can read it for free on the trail stories section on the River to River Trail site, www.rivertorivertrail.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/2023_Glenn_Lawrentz_from-west-to-east-STANDARD.pdf
