3 DAYS CAMPING in HEAVY RAIN and THUNDERSTORMS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- On this trip we spend 3 days backpacking and camping in the rain. It stormed on and off pretty much the entire trip but at least it kept the heat of the summer at bay.
We (Bobby), Wife (Danielle), Daughter (Boogie), and Son (Law) make our way down to the river and set up camp amidst the rain. Homemade dehydrated spaghetti and garlic bread were a treat after the strenuous hike. Snakes dive bombing out of trees and rain couldn't ruin this perfect spot.
Day two we pack up and hike along the river after coffee and an amazing pizza breakfast. We set up camp just in time before another round of showers creeped in. Camp number two offered an amazing sandy beach and the perfect swimming hole. The cold mountain water was just what the doctor ordered only to be met with the worst storm of the trip. A few bear sightings (one on camera) made us very aware of our surrounding environment.
Day three we break camp and make our way up one of the most challenging trails the Gorge has to offer. After reaching the summit Danielle takes one for the team and completes the loop doing a road hike back to the truck.
I couldn't be more proud of how everyone faired through the weather and grueling trails. Positive attitudes throughout and the adventure of the summer so far!
The loop we backpacked in the Linville Gorge was Pinchin Trail to the Linville Gorge Trail then up Unnamed Trail and back to the Truck on old Hwy 105. Total distance was approximately 8 miles.
Thanks again everyone for the ongoing support we can't wait to get out and do it again :)

The flying U.S. flag at the end was priceless. I seen it lying there in the fire pit. Glad you’s did not burn it.
The best we could figure was the last campers didn’t want to haul their heavy wet clothes on the assent.. The flag was not heavy, so a bit perplexing but we love our country. Thank you for noticing, we wanted to make it a point to show our support of this great country 😊 Cheers 🍻
@@laffitteoutdoors Beautiful family and fabulous camping. Very enjoyable. God bless America 🇺🇸
@@laffitteoutdoors this is a real American family! explore and challenge and allway respect their country💗
That’s very kind of you! Probably two of the nicest comments so far . Thank you guys for the support 😊
Make that three lol. I can’t count 😂
Beautiful location ,hi little boy hello pretty girl, ,& mama papa nice work
Thank you buddy. Wilderness and family 😊 Two of our favorite things!
Man, coming from a veteran, I really appreciate you guys picking up the flag and taking it with you and Boogie flying it at the end was beautiful! God bless!
Thank you for your service! What a great country we live in and I’ll pass the word along to Boogie :) 🇺🇸
Quality family time with warm meals an a cool dip in the creek.Thanks for sharing
Thank you Jack! Man I wish I was there now, definitely beats sittin at a desk at work lol. Take care!
Some of my most fun camping trips occurred with some good rain episodes! As long as we weren't being pelted with lightening and the rain sideways, rain didn't slow us down! This is a great family trip and I'm delighted to be able to share it! Wish you and your family many more adventures!
Thank you Sondra and I agree 😊 It’s hard to find anything better than being with the family in a tent listening to the rain.. Thank you very much for your support 😊
The rain makes the day wonderful. Good video.
😊 Rain on a tent with the family. One of our favorites. Cheers Jorge 🍻
Sukses selalu dan semangat dan ber hati hati saat di hutan camping
Terima kasih teman! Bersulang 🍻
very nice so sweet your family god bless your family all time enjoy your day
Thank you my friend and God bless yours as well 😊
It's a delight to see a happy closed family ,enjoying camping together 😄
Watch them bears!
Thanks brother, man it’s nice being out with them. Even when we we disagree lol.
The bears were a bit of a surprise, I’ve been camping in this area for at least 15 years maybe more and never seen a single one until this trip.
I think it has to correlate to the amount of people that picked up camping/ hiking during Covid. Kinda like big raccoons looking for easy food people leave behind. Idk maybe just a coincidence.. Take care buddy 🍻
the location is very beautiful. very pleasing to the eye
Thank you 😊 has to be one of our favorite places here in the south. Cheers 🍻
That spaghetti looked yum! And nice bear! Stay safe fam! Great family camping video guys 👍✌
Bears are probably a bit bigger out your way lol but it was still cool seeing one from a distance. The food seems to come out a little better when I’m not doing the cooking 🤔 Take care buddy and cheers from our family to yours!
That's 3days fun with family. I love it.
So much fun! 😊

Awesome sir
😊 Thanks buddy !
I'm all set with snakes falling out of trees. Or snakes in the water. F that. Cool that you saw a bear though. Overall, looks like you guys had a fun time and made the best of the rain.
And of course, your wife is the MVP for getting the car. #runners
Haha I left the lions and tigers out, it was just too scary that way.
The wife saved the day for sure. I could’ve done it but I might still be walking🐢.. I thought it was a pretty successful trip. No one got eaten or bitten, well except from the bugs. Take care buddy 🍻
That snake 😳 D - I hope you were jogging back to the truck with your bear spray on the ready 🤪
Ps. Pretty sure you promised me a trip to daffodil flats in full bloom one of these days 🤞😉
No bear spray, left that out west, but did have a 9 😉. We don’t mess around here in the south.
It appears we may have to wait until next spring but we’ll get down there! 😁
Boa noite gosto de assistir esse tipos de vídeos. Abraços

I hate it when it rains, and you are stuck in the tent for extended periods. You guys handled it well.
Thanks Bud. Wasn’t ideal but made for some pretty sweet naps lol. What do you think about a napping in the rain video 😂

Thank you very much!
@@laffitteoutdoors I will learn creativity from you

😂🤣
UAU! Jean Laffitte has trade his ship "THE PRIDE" which he has aterrorized the Gulf of Mexico in the early 19th century. by a tent and a beautiful family, Booby looks a lot like him, may be he is a decendent from the great pirate, there are a legend that he has hide a big booty in the area of Lousianna or Galveston, which still unknow until today.
Thank you my friend! Yes I am a late descendant of Jean. We love our families history. Even if we couldn’t settle on how to spell our last name lol. We do have a small boat we named Plein de Vie, so maybe one day we’ll make it down to Louisiana and search for the treasure 🏴☠️
Take care friend!
hmmm why is there a snake on the tree , look like a python to me , what state is this ?
I hadn’t thought about that, my assumption was a black rat snake. We are in N.C. But it was the biggest snake I’ve seen in the wild before.
Finally. A site actual camping. People place camera and walk by , then have to go back and pick up the camera... I don't get it.
We do it sometimes but not on trips like this where no one wants to go back for the camera lol. We were lucky just to make it, well I should speak for myself, the rest of our family is in much better shape than me 😂
Anybody identify that snake?
😃
