How did I miss the whole snake bite thing??? I didn't have a clue. I enjoyed the thru hike, and this video brought some things to memory... like Karen telling Shane that she would see us at the 5 mile marker. Shane drank the last of his water at the 4 mile marker...then it was closer to the 6.5 mile marker before we saw a soul! Shane starts screaming, "KARRREEENNNNNN!!!!" in the middle of the woods. So that became the joke of the trip. Someone would trip over a root, "KARRREEEENNNNN!!!!" Someone would slip on a wet rock, "KARRREEEENNNNN!!!!" Good times! We also had the conversation about the fact that I was NOT going to be doing the whole "walk by' shots. I knew that I would be struggling to get the 40 miles in, much-less any extra! My videos from this trip will have a little fun with that... LOL! Enjoyed the video and getting to meet you out on the trail!
I was at the fire, when someone came up and told us that the snake bite had happened and warned us to use our lights and keep a look out for snakes. That one "walk by" shot was the only one of the trip, they just add too much mileage. I still have to edit the other days videos. I think, on the third day, Shane was going to skip the last two miles and take the shuttle, until I came and joked with him about it. That might have to be a separate video. It was a nice surprise running into the four of you guys, on the first day. Shane was a fish out of water, or should I say a boater trying his best to be a backpacker. I enjoyed your trailer that you made and I am looking forward to seeing the videos that you make. I will definitely see you out on the trail.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD Ha! I just realized that I commented from my personal channel! It was actually Billy, with 12 Stones that made the awesome trailer. I am still learning this new editing software that I started using.Not as good at it as Billy! I haven't even pulled my cameras out of their bag yet. Last week was busy at school with getting started on our fall competitions...but hey...my kids own their County Forestry contest!
I remember seeing the ambulance but had no clue somebody got bit. Not too smart walking without a headlamp in that territory, especially right after the peak season. Great video man!
I think at the time he got bit it wasn't that dark yet, just that twilight stage that you don't really need a light. After this I think everyone was using their lights the next three nights. It probably helped save someone from getting bitten during the rest of the hike. Thank you for your comment.
@@CHARLESCRANFORD I was told that it was probably an adult Copperhead and that there wasn't any venom injected and the person bitten was fine. It was some older tall guy with a cane, they weren't sure the guys name. Yes sir your welcome, enjoyed the video!👍
@@12STONESADVENTURES The guy was at the dinner party Saturday night. I am not sure his real name but his trail name is now "Snake Bite". I got video of the puncture wound that night. I talked to him and his wife and they were both in good spirits. He says he will try again to hike the spring hike.
Thanks for the videos! Just signed up to do this Thru Hike in October!
Thank you for your comment. I'll be at the thru hike in October. See you there.

@@CHARLESCRANFORD that's awesome, & I heard he was doing fine, he's very fortunate.
I missed the snake bit and ambulance.
It happened pretty quick. I was just sitting by the fire, when it all unfolded.
