    I know what you're brother, I've been addicted to Heroin for 32 years, I've been trying to get clean for the last 3 years. I've had everything thrown at me - the year before last 2022 my father died, he caught covid, got rid of it in hospital then caught pneumonia. My mum died in my arms last year, ( I've seen a lot of people die in front of me because of drugs). When my mum died though I swear I've never felt physical pain like that. Since my mother died all I've had is hassle from my sister, she's even trying to get an eviction on me because she's all about money and wants to sell our house I've lived in the same house all my life. Onto the positive part though - I've stayed clean and have come to realise that if I can have all of this thrown at me, then I can do anything and am determined to stay clean. God bless mate. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 UK.

    As a female who camps alone I cannot stress enough to follow your gut instinct when out in the wild. Always be prepared for anything & be willing to leave your camp for awhile if needed. Have multiple forms of protection on your person. I also take extra gear to look like more people are with me. But following your gut is your best defense imho. I've avoided a few campgrounds due to a bad gut feeling. I've left a few in a hurry as well.

      I had a Rottweiler when I was RV'ing for several months. That dog could see, smell and sense things 1,000 times better than I could. So the few times he got excited in the middle of the night. I made sure my personal protection was ready, loaded and in position. I never had to use it, his bark was intimidating enough to scare whatever it was that was out there.

    In case anyone hasn't let you know, that was an iridescent cloud, it happens when the clouds droplets / ice crystals diffract light in that sort of rainbowy / multicolored way. The version you're seeing here is likely the start of a pileus cloud, often found above tall t-storms or mountaintops (usually the mountain ones are lenticular clouds though). Sorry if this is old news, I know this video is old and there's 5k comments, but I didn't feel like sifting through all of them LOL

    My husband and I were married in 1985. Together we have done a lot of backpacking and truck bed camping in off-road remote areas of the USA, since 1984 and especially through the rest of the 80s and 90s. My husband was always packed and was prepared with a weapon to use if necessary. Why? Well we definitely wouldn't need it for the animals - they're afraid of people. They have the fear of man in them.
    My husband always said, "It's 'man' who is the 'most dangerous creature' out there, because they're unpredictable." You never know what man will do, so we'd always take along a weapon to protect ourselves with. Sad but absolute truth. Check out how many people have been murdered through the many decades while camping... by 'man'.
    Animals are predictable, but man is not predictable. Stay wise and safe.
    Thanks for the enjoyable trip. Beautiful country!

    I used to go tent camping with my buddies at one of the busier camping areas in Alaska. More than once we had what we called “camp raiders”. Guys who just show up and want to hang out. We were usually a group of 4 or 5 men with guns, so we were usually hospitable toward the visitors (even though, I never really liked it). Usually they just wanted to warm by our fire and talk about camping. Once we had a guy ride in on a dirt bike. The guy pulled out a bag and asked if we wanted to smoke some weed. We didn’t smoke weed so we declined, but one of my friend’s 14 year old sisters was with us so we told him not to even get it out. He didn’t like that, but he obliged. Then one of my buddies was standing next to the lake and this dude walked down next to my friend and pulled out a .22 pistol and started shooting in the water. My heart jumped and I started looking intently at my friend’s jacket looking for dark spots to appear trying to see if he was being shot. I had my hand on my .45 auto. My friend did not get shot so I didn’t draw on the guy, but we immediately told him he had to leave our camp. We told him it was because of his reckless behavior with the pistol. He left without any further issues and he never knew that 2 of us had pistols ready to go on him (plus 2 others with shotguns in the tents).
    Yeah, sadly, camping can be dangerous in certain areas.

    I like carving too! Or in my neck of the woods it's called "Whittling" I used to sit by the creek on my Dad's 150 acre farm in Northern Michigan and sit on an old stump and just whittle away. One time a little muskrat came down the creek and came out and gathered twigs not two feet away from me, he didn't even see me, it didn't even give me a notice, I was so quiet and blended with the surroundings... a great memory.😊

      Agreed about the photography! BTW this wasn't a sundog, a sundog is part of something called a parahelion, where a halo forms around the sun and there's two "false suns" (usually rainbowy) equidistant from each other, which wasn't going on here. This is a stretched out cloud on top of a thunderstorm that's called a pileus or sometimes "cap" cloud, and it's also "iridescent" which means it's diffracting light in that fancy rainbowy way.

    I'm envious of your adventures.
    I spent 16 years working with the Forest Service with 90% of that time patrolling either the Lincoln Woods Wilderness Area or patrolling the AT both in VT & NH. I also did about 4-5 years more of volunteer work in both doing trail maintenance and trail and camp ground construction as well . Part of that time was spent going all over the US doing wild land firefighting as well .
    That was an absolutely fantastic job , and believe it or not I actually got paid for doing it !!! I've never had a better job or one I enjoyed more. The law enforcement part I didn't enjoy all that much as there were some tense situations that arose from time to time like busting meth labs and removing squatters from the National Forest . We weren't authorized to carry but being a former military combat vet my forest supervisor kinda turned a blind eye to that sense he knew what threats we may run into on the trail, 2 or 4 legged and neither were uncommon . Bear and Moose and meth labs were the biggest issues though.
    I'd normally be out on the trail for 2 weeks at a time doing trail and shelter maintenance, building trails , doing wildlife and forest improvement projects and what ever else needed doing. It wasn't uncommon to be pulled off the trail though , to do high angle rescues , search and rescues or causality recoveries as that was a big part of the job too. I was a certified for high angle rescue, was a SOLO First Responder and was close to being a fully certified EMT as well as being on Fire/ rescue in my town for > 37 years , with tons of other related certifications .
    There is allot of climbing areas here in NH & VT both and incidents were common and there was only a half dozen of us in all of VT & NH that were certified for that job so 2-3 rescues or searches a month were quite common and much much more during the peak hiking and climbing seasons, Winter or Summer. Lots of folks got themselves into situations they weren't necessarily ready for and when the weather went South on some of these razor back ridges above timber line and in back country/ wilderness areas we got lots and lots of time in doing rescues or recoveries . Mount Washington was " No Joke" when it came to rescues, with >100 mph winds and well below 0 degree f wind chills being common, even in Summer. Some of those above timber line , razor back ridge rescues in those conditions were just a bit sketchy to say the least and could be quite a challenge !
    I'm an old coot and disabled now from some of my rescue adventures and am no longer able to carry a pack or hike long distances and even going 2-300 yards at a time now can be a challenge at best, but I still have all my memories after years and years spent in the forest and I don't regret one moment of it, other than being all bunged up so I can't hike anymore. That part sucks to be honest .
    But don't feel bad for me, in my day I've had the opportunity to do 2 end to end hikes on the AT, did the Long Trail several times, the PCT, the Continental Divide Trails and have done every 4k ft and above peak in the US and most all the major trails in Alaska plus a couple others in Canada and even a couple in South America as well , so I've defiantly had my fun. I was know as "Talks With Animals " on the trail with a turtle symbol being my mark . I've been told many rabid hiker aquatnences that some of my shelter tags and the 2 petro-gliffs I've carved on rock faces along the AT are still present on some of these trails and in shelters where I've been at, so look for them in your travels they could pop up most anyplace in the US and Canada .
    I still get a taste of the good life after retiring though sense I bought a nice large piece of property just below the highest peak in the area here in VT and my homestead is in the middle of the forest right next to 2 incredible brooks running through my land that are filled with Brook Trout with tons of other wildlife all around me . There's nothing but State , Federal and timber company land surrounding me and there's only 4 neighbors on this entire section of road and nothing after that for 6 miles, and that road section is closed 5 months out of the year for snow or mud.
    This new homestead is like I've never left the forest and I couldn't be happier.
    Life is good here at the High Mountain Homestead !
    Enjoy your travels as I have, you won't regret it.

Predators of all kinds take advantage of your forward facing vision. Your eyes should be constantly panning, constantly surveying your surroundings. This is how people get ambushed and mysteriously disappear. Enjoying yourself in a dangerous area just because it's beautiful is any easy way to never be seen again. Always protect number one .

    That rainbow at the top of that cumulonimbus storm cloud is most likely an iridescent pileus cloud, also called a scarf cloud or cap cloud. Pileus clouds are small, horizontal, lenticular clouds that can appear above fast growing cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds. If the pileus cloud is high enough to be made of ice crystals, the sunlight angle is just right, and the viewer’s angle is just right, then the sunlight can be refracted by the ice crystals to make the rainbow iridescence you saw. The pileus clouds aren’t necessarily rare but the iridescence is. So congrats! You got to see something rare and beautiful. 😊

      I may be tripping. But this guy actually exhibits some signs of addiction. The whole qualification about not being much of a drinker. Only a social drinker. So much a social drinker he has a flask filled with whiskey. The fact he goes in to the stories about all the other addicts in his family and how he literally invents an addict out of a coyote. The qualification against being lazy because a lot of people attribute addiction to laziness when you can have both productive and lazy addicts. I think it's at least possible this person suspects that they may have some addictions and unfortunately our society only teaches us addictions are bad instead of how to take accountability and get help. I'm probably wrong but since they felt the need to just judge people mask off I figure it's fair play right? Turn about?

    When it comes to strange behavior, you can never tell what is really going on. My brother and I were camping in Valley of Fire, just north of Las Vegas. Just before sundown, a guy came driving through eyeballing all the campsites, which are arranged along a road loop. Then he pulled into one site at the start of the loop, but didn’t get out of his car or set up any kind of camp. We found this behavior concerning, since you had to drive 15 miles off the highway to get there, and Vegas was only 30 miles from the turnoff. We agreed that it was better to be safe than sorry, and we set up watches during the night. The next morning, he got out of his car, put on a reflective vest, grabbed an orange plastic bag and a grabber stick and started picking up trash. Turned out his side job was to maintain the campground for the park service. He needed to get an early start so he could get back into town in time for his regular job, so he came out the night before and slept in the back of his car. By convincing ourselves that he was a potential serial killer, we spent a miserable night. The irony of it was that if we had really trusted our gut, even though it was wrong, we would have found somewhere else to camp and got a good night’s sleep.

It was close, loud, & sustained. They went among the tents doing this for about 10 minutes. I heard another camper exclaim “holy sh*t!” which was my thought as well. It was like this pack was on a drunken ramble having a great time.

One thing I never did was go out drunk or high. Never. Either I went on the road straight and sober or not at all. Yeah, Those Country areas can get really scary. (W. Virginia comes to mind) The vibe that radiated off your video today felt bad. Somehow the thunder and her weird laugh and even seeing You drinking felt wrong. (I gotta say it, Luke) I didn't really dig the mix. It's just MHO, but it probably saved My life more than once. Substance abuse sucks. You can't control the storms but You CAN control the other variables. Thank You for the video that I finally saw today.

    I had my large Akita with me while camping/hiking all across the US and never worried about people, but it does impose some unfortunate limits. There are many parks where you cannot take a dog, such as Yellowstone, etc. at least not on hiking trails, and very few shaded parking lots where you could potentially leave the dog in a well ventilated car for a few minutes to jog out to an overlook. I worried about encountering snakes, bears and mountain lions, as she did not back down from anything, and as she was same sex aggressive at times, even encountering other people with dogs was dicey. So taking a dog is not always the best answer if you want to see/experience everywhere fully.

      Grizzlies are out dere might need a grenade launcher lol bear spray I meant. I have not seen black bears don't even come around my house anymore,but when I first moved here the house was empty for 70 years. One guy attempted to rebuild this old house, but his help didn't arrive for him so he abandoned it. I've been living here working on the house for years first few years bears were knocking over my burn barrel well food scraps were in there too but ever since I got rid of the barrel no more bears.

    At the end you said that a guy said, "shut this mouth" and then the laughter stopped.
    This left me in doubt, because from what I heard I was quite convinced that this was not a person, but a cougar, a mountain lion. It sounded to me much more like a cougar than a person.
    You know? Cougars have the most vocalizations of all cats. They produce a very wide variety of different sounds, even imitating the sounds of other animals.
    And that sounds to me like a female with cubs who, realizing the approach of a vehicle, became stressed and started emitting a series of warning sounds.
    Maybe the person who shouted to shut up was shouting at the cougar, because after all he was hearing the same sounds as you.
    The fullness of your food may also have influenced it. That is if it was indeed a cougar.

    It was an excited doggie -- probably wanted to get out of the vehicle for a walk. Mine used to go nuts like that whenever I'd get near the beach. Sounded just like a weird human laugh.

    I'm currently watching this out in the bush, on my own. As I'm writing this comment, there is a car approaching me from the road way up on the hill that leads too this spot. Listening too Luke while I'm here in my swag, is reassuring.
    I'll let you know how I go, hopefully the car turns around once it gets here.

    Without a doubt that was not a woman laughing! 😂 It was actually a dog, more than likely a hunting 🐕 dog in the back of a pickup truck. Also the guy was shouting at the dog to be quiet and not a woman!
