It calls to you. That little whisper of what’s over there? Has anyone stood in this spot? What were they thinking, what did they see? The slow burn of your muscles and the feel of your body having to work just a little harder to breathe…it just makes you feel alive in a special way. You go the hard way first, the easy way back.
It is not an adventure.it is stomping needlessly around godforsaken land , waking up snakes and ticks and leeches. Getting stung by wasps and nettles ,bitten by midges and ants.why? To reach a destination with nothing on it.
I'm with you. Hiking is a nightmare with someone who's really into it. See also going to garage sales ("garage saling") with an old white lady. Bring a book and snacks.
Lol. I'll take you to the top of the Tetons lad. Dont worry though.. Its only 20 miles. The rivers wont be super crazy and deep. There are fish in the lakes. Loads of critters to eat. It will be fun.
You forgot to mention when we set out for a 14 mile and 10 yard hike we also plan on hiking back to where we started from. And if you took the easy route you didn't hike, that was a nature walk.
For me the woods is soothing 😌😌 growing up running around do you think happens when you get older used go hiking. When you grow up clean in the woods it's happiness
My first love has always been hiking. 58 and still trekking. I want to hike the entire AT when I’m 70. It is a goal I set for myself. My 1st serious hike I was 8. You had me laughing so bad. Lol,lol,lol. Everything you said is so true. Lol,lol,lol. I can still hike a 15 mile day.
I love it when a newbie decides they would like to go hiking or backpacking with me. I will take them through the roughest terrain I know of. Then, we will return by way of an easy dirt road or trail that is not near as rough and is half as long as the route we took. It really pisses them off. I once took a dude on a hike that was 9 miles long and through the mountains. When we set up camp, he did not know we were less than 1 mile from our vehicle. And that one mile was a National Forest road located about 100 yds. from our camp. All night he expressed dread of the return walk to our vehicle the next day. All that aggravation over nothing.
Bear necessities list: Pocket knife Pocket axe Pocket flashlight Small shovel Kindling Clean pair of socks (trust me on this) Small blanket (don’t need a pillow there are branches and stones). First aid kit predominantly stuff to clean wounds and stuff that kills infection (if you take a slide down a mountain you will thank me for this) Handgun: for when you are face to face with a bear or wild animal just in case Bear bell Bug spray Knowledge of what you can eat and cant eat. Water/water purifiers (any hunting store will have this) Should all fit in a hicking backpack This is not set in stone just what i like to bring in case we decide to stay the night in the forrest.
As a southern white woman....I love hiking. Not only you get to see interesting things, every once in awhile you'll discover a gem 😁. Plus think of the fresh air (?) and endurance building your body is getting. When shtf or zombies attack you'll have a fighting chance 👍
Just gonna give Josh a lesson, the water is for as you know hydration saltine crackers well salt for water retention helps you hydrate after sweating and the starch in the crackers turn to glucose which helps rejuvenate your muscles. Hope this helps yah brother.
This is what I learned from an old mountain goat. Short little steps, slow short steps, and that dude passed us every single time not matter how fast and hard we hiked we would stop for water and get passed by a 65 year old dude not breaking a sweat and we were sweating like mad.
Josh just chose a nice scenic location (preferably with shade), dress appropriately for the terrain, limit the items in your backpack to a few items - the less you have in the pack the lighter it is. The heaviest thing you should carry is water & you should distribute it's weight. Then pick a reasonable starting distance & have fun.
I like energy bars & plain tap water. I also carry something to treat water in case I need more than I brought. As always, love your way of looking at things.
I'm going camping in a couple of weeks. After the flies ease up, August is bad about flies. Grabbing my gear (which I have what I need), my dog, and I'm going to chill for a few days by the lake. No cabin or cot style camping. Just my dog, my tent, a Dutch oven, couple of knives, and I'll grab a big stick when I get there. Gotta watch out for snakes, dontcha know.
Happy birthday, darlin. This bright girl loves to hike. And you are not wrong. Except, I need a destination. There needs to be a waterfall, lake, a view, or something at the end of the trail, or I'm probably not going to pick it. Try going hiking with some munchkins!
Yes the bug eating is a good I'm lost in the woods. If you wonder about berries, watch for a while to see if birds or other wild life eat them. If they don't then leave it alone. And as weird as it sounds, tampons, unwrapped, make great fire starters.
He's not wrong! When I hike, it's what will fit in my pocket's, (my jacket has BIG pocket's!😉) & off we go! Count on being gone most of the day. And we'll talk about everything! Even our 5th grade math teacher's! (42 year's ago for me. But I'll never forget Mrs Moore! Neither will you after our hike!) However! I don't eat ant's. But I'll buy us a hamburger & an ice cold beer when we get back! Luv ya Josh! You're Awesome! Thanks for the laugh's!
The trail is for old people & people who don't really want to hike/camp. The only way to understand nature & truly enjoy it, is to get into the thick of it
I live right at the base of the mountains! I could take you to a place called "The Man Cave"! It's a literal hole you go upstairs to get to the entry point, n if you're brave enough to go in it....you'll come out the other side, BUT the other side just drops OFF! You gotta turn around n go back!!😂😂😂
Hiking is a realistic form of exploration. You don't take the easy path, because there is nothing to see there. You take the non-path, that which has had decades to overgrow.
I'm sorry you had such a poor hiking experience. Hiking is about being surrounded by glorious nature. Not death marches. I hope you have the chance to try again.
Dude you need to get yourself some nerdy white friends i'm telling you the only kind of hiking we're doing is through seemingly endless deserts in FF games or Fallout. Hbd btw. Mine is also today although i ended up being stuck at work covering for someone else because that's just the way my life works.
I live in New Zealand and over here we go for multi days hikes and call it tramping....we're even picked the best ones out and called them the great walks so we can overcharge tourists for hut tickets.... Come over here and do one of them. I personally love it.
He is not lying at all. Here in Montana, my hinze 57 craker ass goes on hikes with nothing but time on my mind. Come home hours later with cotton mouth and looking at water like it's happy juice! I believe he has gone hiking with different friends.....! Keeping it real is good brother; hope you and all family are having a good day and thank you for the smile before second shift work brother.
Knife (or hatchet ) , stainless steel cup (or canteen ) , water filter , tarp (or poncho ) , paracord (or bankline ) , ferrocerium rod (or lighter ) , and a whistle to call for HELP ! If you're a tenderfoot the two items are a whistle and a big piece of safety orange cloth to make noise and wave around so someby can rescue your ass. Maybe carry a gun so you can shoot an out of season game animal and the Game Warden will arrest you for poaching . LOL !
@@victorwaddell6530 you'll be so deep in the woods that you can't even remember a city and as soon as you shoot that animal the warden will drop from a tree, confiscate your gun and take you to jail. But at least you'll be alive. (Just don't shoot a bald eagle, they'll never find your body)
Mountain money never sounded so good, as the day I shat in a thicket of stinging nettles, and didn't have a clean rag.... (I'll let your imagination do the story telling)
We live in PA and go hiking with our kids. We bring all emergency equipment each with our own bags. Last time we has to battle a poisonous snake. In Florida we battled a gator in our back yard. Best nuggets ever. Also we bring beef jerky on our trips.
A knife, some rope, water, saltines, change of clothes, and a hatchet is all you need to survive 1 week. Make traps, make stuff to fish with, make a shelter. And if you're decent with a bow drill you can make that to start fires. Otherwise pack a lighter of some sort.
I went hiking with my BSA group. I’m not slow enough to stay with them. 100% incline, I don’t care. 150% incline, I still keep going. 200% incline, I still go I don’t care
I love it, but what type of hike was that? Check out Hike Inn in Georgia. 4 miles there over 3 mountains, sleep in a gorgeous place, eat a wonderful meal, hike back 4 miles. That's my speed.
If the real thing is anything like the photos that came up from the google search then yes. I'm on the southside of Atl, and I've been wanting to go up to Fort Mountain in that area.
Your next bucket list....all your white homies and you hiking/camping the Appalachian trail....starting in Georgia working your way to Maine. It's only about 2200 miles 😁👍
Very good friend of mine when a bunch of us were talking about hiking into some waterfalls said and I quote, "You White folks go on ahead and go, aint no good reason for this Black man to be out in the woods marching around as bear bait"
Tell you friend one day I left my Mom's house on a little hike and 28 hours later said hi to my sister in -law 72 miles away started out in Huntsville Alabama ended up on lookout mountain above Talladega 500 raceway
Survival tip: rolly poly's taste like shrimp. They're crustaceans like shrimp, lobster, and crawfish . And... they have about 14 grams of protien in just 3.5oz.
Lmfao bro that's a survival thing. Ants grubs and lots of stuff. Hold up bro. I'm in Florida and my name Kirby!!! You know somebody in the Fam. We all Go by the last name unless it's others around. Lmao
I encountered a black person on a trail once...once. Very rare. It's the same on the water, although I usually have one with me. A very pretty one too!
As part of the Bright White Mountain Brigade, I APPROVE of this message.
It calls to you. That little whisper of what’s over there? Has anyone stood in this spot? What were they thinking, what did they see? The slow burn of your muscles and the feel of your body having to work just a little harder to breathe…it just makes you feel alive in a special way. You go the hard way first, the easy way back.
"8.5 White seconds later." That had me laugh hard.
It's a trip, not the destination. Finally this cheesy line fits properly xD
For most of us, hiking is about the adventure. What interesting things can I see. Think of it in term of an adventure and you’ll appreciate it more
Yep plus it's conditioning your body and breathing etc.....no gym can give you what hiking can
It is not an adventure.it is stomping needlessly around godforsaken land , waking up snakes and ticks and leeches. Getting stung by wasps and nettles ,bitten by midges and ants.why? To reach a destination with nothing on it.
Nature always has something to see. Even if it’s the snakes, wasps, bees, and stinging nettles.
I'm with you. Hiking is a nightmare with someone who's really into it. See also going to garage sales ("garage saling") with an old white lady. Bring a book and snacks.

Old white lady???
My father.
My dad does this to me...we home out doing normal shit..yhrn he sees a yard sale..and I know. A 2 hour delay just hit me
@@chaddts when u get older u will to 😂 i love them and fle markets
@@davidmonroe7783 I'm 29..i do go to them..antique hunting to resell on ebay..make a pretty penny at times
Damn bro, I almost spit out my coffee when you said Gatorade, powerade, financial aid. Shit
Round my area, Green Mountains of Vermont, we go hiking with a tent. You ain't coming back for at least 2 days.
Lol. I'll take you to the top of the Tetons lad. Dont worry though.. Its only 20 miles. The rivers wont be super crazy and deep. There are fish in the lakes. Loads of critters to eat. It will be fun.

We NEVER take the easy way, the hard way is more exciting & even if it ain’t exciting, it makes for a hell of a story to tell a the next get together!
Gator aid, power aid..... financial aid! LMAO!
Yes! Always surpass your last checkpoint, lol. I am guilty :)
Fallow the trails with the green squares, bring some peanut butter for the saltines, & you’ll be fine!

The realest adventures are when you are miserable at the end and just want to go home. Then 2 days later you want to do it again.
Josh just chose a nice scenic location (preferably with shade), dress appropriately for the terrain, limit the items in your backpack to a few items - the less you have in the pack the lighter it is. The heaviest thing you should carry is water & you should distribute it's weight. Then pick a reasonable starting distance & have fun.

Hiking is a realistic form of exploration. You don't take the easy path, because there is nothing to see there. You take the non-path, that which has had decades to overgrow.
Only reason we go hiking is to plant a plant way out there where that water comes up out the ground out
You are ready to hike the Appalachian Trail now!
We need some Bright Friend Shirts.
I'm sorry you had such a poor hiking experience. Hiking is about being surrounded by glorious nature. Not death marches. I hope you have the chance to try again.
Hahahaha love it sending love from KY
I get it, I went for a couple hours hike and ended up hiking for 6-7 hours, shit happens
As a white, i always watched these to see what his lists are. But I’m glad I watched this one. I lol’d multiple times. Good one josh 👍🏻
Lol love this mans videos. He makes me laugh my ass off

Right. Come spend some time with a mountain boy. I live in the midst of the mountains in Northwest Montana.
He won't make it ten steps up 😁
If ya'll want to hike, be challenged and enjoy yourself then do it in the Rocky Mountains!!
@@freedomjerkins colorado isnt the only place to hike. Lmao granted i do alot of hiking when i go out there. But there are so many places to enjoy
Other essential items for hiking. Knife, gun, extra ammo and toilet paper.
