HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2017
- Join me on a 4 day backpacking trip in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park which offers tons of trails, beautiful views, excellent wildlife, streams galore, and most importantly solitude. With plenty of backcountry campsites spread out all over the park, it's no wonder why this is one of the most visited parks in the country.

Hey Frozen. Go to
One of my favorite hikes in the Smokies is on the Tennessee side along the Middle Fork of the Little River. It is breath taking! Waterfall after waterfall after waterfall along a dirt road.
This is the best video I've watched in a long time. I love all the obstacles. Bears, bees, snakes and wrong turns. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Jason, you were really fortunate re that snake. Rattlers can lunge at least half the length of their bodies. Using a 120 to 130 cm trekking pole is rather dicey. I use to catch rattlers in AZ along with a herpetologist who taught me how to best catch them with a "snake pole" with a loop, the pole being twice the length of a trekking pole. Either going around it or throwing an object near it might have provoked it to move on. The snake was in defense mode due to being surprised.
Yay! A Frozen adventure is just what's needed. Thanks man! Good luck on the SHT, that's a lotta miles..should be a blast!
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along. Good luck with the SHT. Take care, Al
Wow, several years of adventure all in one three day trip. Thanks for the vlog and I can't wait to see your adventures on the superior hiking trail.
Just finished watching your excellent video from Australia. I loved it, thank you so much for sharing it.
Just watched and you had an amazing hike all the way. Your encounters with wildlife, snakes and bees made for a bit of a challenge. Looking forward for more great hikes!!!
Dude frozen you are an inspiration man, you're the reason I got into backpacking. Always great to watch these vids, keep em coming
It was quite an adventure for me also. I was wondering what we were going to encounter next. Good video thanks for taking us along. Keep hiking man.
Man love these Smokies videos. Started hiking those trails you did in 1986. Been about 7 years. Thanks.
Thank you for the detailed mapping and trail list I feel like that is the hardest part of planning my hike is trying to pick the trails I wanna take
Wow. Great videos so far. You have the right stuff dialed in, enough face time, enough trail/terrain shots, map details, gear talk, logic/reasoning, edited well, etc.
Great trip. Thanks for taking me with you. The second bear and the second snake almost got us!
Cool to watch some of your older videos and you convey your desire to thru hike the AT and to know that you are actually doing it right now. Respect the determination.
Great vids man. Really enjoying and giving me awesome ideas for future trips. Thanks for sharing.
