Welcome to my random musings on all things backpacking. If you haven't already guessed, my name is Dan. I was bit by the backpacking bug in 2014 and since then haven't gone one day without thinking about my next adventure. I'm from Chicago, a great city but...not so much known for its bountiful backpacking opportunities. Nevertheless, I haven't let that stop me from enjoying the outdoors. Hope my videos leave you with one or two takeaways, or even better, inspire you to head out on the trail. Thanks for watching! Have fun out there!

Replace the gasket on the end of your sawyer squeeze where the water enters the filter with a shower head mesh gasket the flow rate will hugely improve with using the cnoc vecto.
Do you have a picture of this?
Very interesting hike. Plus I ordered the Joby from your previous video.
Hope it works well for you!
This is the 2nd consecutive video I've watched of yours AND the 2nd most times I've ever heard the word dongle! :)
My new favorite word 😁
That's it Dan you sit in the chair and wife sits on the ground. Lol Bacon jerky is the best.
Haha, believe it or not she doesn't like the chair, which is amazing
Dan I loved your Joby adapter with the belt clip. I was able to buy one on amazon with only 2 left. I want to pass this configuration on to my subscribers and will do a short video this weekend with a shout out to your channel if that's alright with you?
Thanks! That'd be awesome! I appreciate it!
I do like the tarp tent, looks really lightweight. Great video again Dan, 👍 from me. ATB Dave 👍
Great video! My wife and I also love hiking in the smoky mountains! What kind of camera are you using to shoot your videos? Just subbed!
Thanks! I'm just using my phone (a Google Pixel 2). I did a recent video on how to use your phone for hiking videos if you're interested in seeing my setup: ruclips.net/video/AwdCwE_4tw0/видео.html
@@DanGoesHiking Awesome! Will check this out! As a fellow hiker, there is a ton of places to explore and hike on my channel. Would love to hear your feedback! Cheers
Looks like you have a lot of cool videos! Just watched your Hogpen Gap trip. What a beautiful hike! Looking forward to seeing more!
Dan Goes Hiking awesome! Thanks for watching and hopefully you will find some new places to explore! Cheers!!!
Do not go off trail in the Smokys.
