Yeah definitely need to invest in one and then watch some videos and learn how to do it! Have always wanted to go again. Hope you get a chance to do it looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for watching 😀
Excellent! Great content and presentation. Your videos are so great that they inspire others and you keep creating new ones and the video shows your great talent and emotions well. What i can see in this video is too make it enjoyable for someone to watch . Keep uploading good videos, you will be successful. Have a good day! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Awesome I'm so excited you backpacked. Great site and loved the fire and I'll check out the link. Sorry you had a rough night. I have the same pad from big Agnes. Love the pillow. Great tent (Rachel). Love that it's so versatile. Great copper spur too
We had a great time can't wait to go again! Really like that Big Agnes pad! We got a review on Rachel's tent coming out soon. Thanks for watching we appreciate it!
It was a really awesome hike! We really enjoy that water filtration system. There's a link in the description of the video for 15% off your first order if you want to check that out.
@@NickandRachel we’ve got a few great spots in Missouri we could “ease” our way into it! Or at least try it once and decide if it’s for us or not. Lol 😂
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it! Definitely took a while for me to figure out all the flowers glad someone appreciates it lol we had a great time can't wait to go back when it gets cooler 🌲
Yeah we had a great time! Hopefully we'll get some better sleep next time I just had something going on with my neck that night. Appreciate you watching!
So glad to see you using the nature hike tent I use a nature hike tent on my section backpacking hiking on the AT and love it I also use their sleeping bag which I love and just recently bought their lightweight backpack it only weighs 2 pounds and is awesome so nice to see someone recommended less expensive gear because it’s just as good without breaking the bank thank you again for all the great videos I so enjoy them happy hiking
If it's good gear will definitely recommend it! Haven't tried any of their other stuff yet definitely going to next time we need some gear and don't want to break the bank! Thank you for watching we appreciate it 🙂
Oh yeah it was a really nice hike! Took a lot of research but I finally figured out all the flowers that we seen. I've always been interested in that kind of stuff. Yeah I think he was too but I wasn't about to go searching for him 😂
I keep up with all your videos. It’s so beautiful and green now. I love it when the Smokies are green. I’ve been up for every season, but it’s just so nice when everything is green and blooming. I feel so bad for Rachel when I see her with such a huge backpack. What a trooper!!!
It's gorgeous in all the seasons! She is a trooper she really didn't have too much of a problem with that pack even though it's like twice her size 🤣 Sorry for the late reply a bunch of our comments went to the spam folder for some reason. Thanks for watching!
@@michaelnewell6385 yeah apparently there was a glitch with RUclips because there was like 10 different people who commented that are regular people who watch the channel that went to the spam folder for some reason. Well how did you like these backpacking videos want to see more?
Definitely check it out if you get the chance it was an awesome Trail beautiful campsites all up and down that trail! If you haven't already consider subscribing we upload content weekly!
Looks like a very nice trail and I loved all the wildflowers alongside. I have the same Naturehike tent and really like it, although there is no room for gear once you're in it.
Your Smokies are so beautiful with all the wildflowers everywhere 🌲 I think they make that same design tent all the way up to a four person. Appreciate you watching!
Just joined your UTube channel. Elkmont is very special to me. My great grandparents lived up Jakes creek before it was a National park. George and Louisa Shults. They are buried in the new cemetery at Elkmont. I’m doing lifestyle changes to get healthy enough to hike Jakes creek. I look forward to more of your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Well thank you and welcome to the channel! That's awesome that you have family Roots there such an amazing spot 😊 Well I definitely hope you're able to hike it it's so beautiful just keep focused on getting healthy cuz it's definitely worth it 😁 We have a huge backlog of video if you want to check those out and we post the videos weekly so don't be a stranger 🌲
Great video well done! Thanks for the introduction to that area. All the plant photos with names was a very nice touch...at least for this plant nerd. What month was your hike?
Cool video guys. You’ll love backpacking we’ve been doing it for years! Need to travel up north and we can show you around the Cranberry Wilderness here in West Virginia. It’s wonderful!
I didn’t realize how much trails there are in the Smokey Mountains. That backpack might be bigger than her. I would love to see Nick go fly fishing and then transition to you guys cooking it in your camping ASMR videos. Oh wow, Bears would freak me out. Oh man, caught the Rachel fall. Hope she feels better. I have never tried those pack food. This is the first time I have seen a night time routine for you guys. As I get older, more and more things hurt. Thanks for the tent tour also.
Over 900 miles of trails! We want to do them all. That backpack is huge compared to Rachel 🤣 Trust me it's my dream to catch a salmon up in the Pacific Northwest and cook it right there on the Riverside so one day you might just see that! I might even do it with the trout in the Smokies! Her hand feels a lot better it didn't even hurt her the next day thank God! Some backpacking food is really good believe it or not! We got to stay active as much as we can because the more we sit still the more we hurt lol Just now seeing this comment for some reason a ton of them went through my spam folder
That's a good question! Sometimes me and Rachel go backpacking separately or camping separately with Friends or family. So we didn't want to buy one big tent in case me or her weren't together just carrying a bunch of extra weight at that point. Also when it gets in the summer months it tends to be cooler in a one person tent lol
Yeah Mom was definitely heavy it was at 39 lb lol. Definitely got to figure something out because I just got a much heavier camera. I think Rachel's was 34 lb. It was a beautiful area. Can't wait to get back up there once it cools off it's been over 100° out for over a month and a half. Thanks for watching!
This footage looks great! Is this the new camera? I've been at the beach for over a week and now just catching up on videos. You still looking to go hike and camp a section of the PMT?
Thank you! Nope we haven't really had a chance to even use the new camera we had an entire itinerary planned using it to film some natural springs in Florida when we were there but we started feeling like we were sick so we just stayed And our hotel room most of the trip when we got back we realized we had covid. So we've been dealing with that. I do want to do the PMT maybe when it gets cooler. Also the last time I had covid it took me awhile to recover. My third time getting it Rachel's first. Even with getting no sleep it was still a blast can't wait to get back up there!
@@NickandRachel OMG! Dude, this is crazy! Yeah man, totally understand and take care of yourselves. Will reach out again about the PMT as we get closer to the cooler months!
Guys be super careful, two bear attacks in that area (2022) one fall a hiker broke her shoulder took us 21 hours to get them out… the lady I hear had to have a shoulder replacement. Great video, get yourselves a radio gmrs network is growing up there, just incase? Sorry to butt in. Scary to see someone fall in the wilderness. Hope your okay and doing well. To both of you.
Thanks for the information we need to get some kind of Garmin emergency system for sure! I knew about at least one bear attack I wasn't sure about the lady who fell on broke her shoulder that's unfortunate. We always letting someone know where we're going and when we'll be back just in case and we check in with the ranger station before getting there. Thank you we appreciate you watching we had a great trip!
I was looking forward to watching this when I found the time. I don't think I've seen a backpacking trip video from you guys yet!! It was awesome! Recognized a lot of your gear from your review videos and such. Poor Rachel! :-( that was a nasty spill. Hope her hand/wrist is ok, you can really get it messed up catching yourself like that! Man you end up at that peaceful river to lull you to sleep with Nature's best white noise.... and you can't sleep!! I'm surprised the Air core ultra was noisy when tossing and turning! I didn't think they were. Out 11th Ever Backpacking Endeavor I got probably MY worse night of sleep! I think I just get soft sleeping in a climate/environmentally controlled comfy bed!! How did the trek out go? Was it super rough or did you just chug through it?
Sorry I just now seeing the comments a lot of them went to the spam folder for some reason. We actually got a couple of more gear reviews coming up that we used on that trip. Her wrist is fine she didn't even feel it the next day thank God! It is weird usually I sleep really good in the woods but for some reason that night my neck was just hurting so bad I couldn't get comfortable. And the track it was nice if we weren't filming we would have powered through it!
Hello can anyone on here recommend A Few beautiful safe camping (tent) spot right by the water with not a long hike for my pregnant wife , And respectful children? I have been looking around the smoky mountain area north Carolina Tennessee border, Any recommendations are greatly appreciated✌️
I would suggest getting on the Great Smoky Mountains Backcountry Trails website and looking at the map. You can also give them a call and they can help you out.
Good to see you guys camping. I fell a few times when backpacking and its always my backpack that hits the ground first then my buttocks. Keep safe guys. Hope to bump into you someday in the trails. Thanks for sharing.
Oh yeah we had a great time can't wait to get back out there! Yeah it really sucks falling especially in the water but I guess that's part of it 😂 Thanks for watching!

This is so neat. I want to try backpacking someday! 💕🌿
You should try it it's really fun!

That's the best way to do it find an out and back Trail that's not too long!
Excellent Video My Friend. Keep up the good work!!🔥🔥🔥
Thank you we appreciate it!
Great video! Love camping by the creek.
Camping by the creek is awesome we love it that's why we picked that campsite because we were familiar with the area! Thanks for watching 😀
Great video - loved how you included the flower info. Looks like a fun adventure and so peaceful with the river next to you -
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it! Definitely took a while for me to figure out all the flowers glad someone appreciates it lol we had a great time can't wait to go back when it gets cooler 🌲
Love the touch of flowers too!
Very nice adventure. Nice gear too. My Smoky Mtn videos will start posting this coming week. I really like the Smokies.
Oh yeah we had a great time can't wait to get back up there and do some more backpacking! Awesome we really love the Smokies as well!
Excellent video! Looked like a great time despite a few challenges (Rachel falling, Nick not sleeping) This was fun to watch!
Yeah we had a great time! Hopefully we'll get some better sleep next time I just had something going on with my neck that night.
Appreciate you watching!

Oh it's awesome you would like it! Maybe you could bring a lightweight fly reel and do some fishing in the rivers!
Awesome guys! 😁
Thanks 😁
Love the Southern accent, reminds me of my family in the Murphy NC area 👍
We're from Middle Georgia but we definitely have a country accent 😅 thanks for watching the video!
7.2 miles, that is a treck. Interesting how u know the names of the flowers. I think that bear was camera shy.
Oh yeah it was a really nice hike!
Took a lot of research but I finally figured out all the flowers that we seen. I've always been interested in that kind of stuff.
Yeah I think he was too but I wasn't about to go searching for him 😂

Nick, you should pick up a tenkara fly rod. They are easy to use/learn and collapse down to a perfect size to carry on hikes.
I'm definitely going to look into it! Thanks for the advice
Great video well done! Thanks for the introduction to that area. All the plant photos with names was a very nice touch...at least for this plant nerd. What month was your hike?
Thank you I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Really enjoyed figuring out the names of the different flowers.
We did this hike on May 1st.
Great video!
Thanks!
Cool video guys. You’ll love backpacking we’ve been doing it for years! Need to travel up north and we can show you around the Cranberry Wilderness here in West Virginia. It’s wonderful!
Oh yeah we had a good time can't wait to start going back when it starts cooling off!
Cranberry wilderness sounds pretty cool I like the name!
Cool to see y'all trying out backpacking! I definitely think the more you go ... the more you find what works and what doesn't. Happy trails :)
Oh yeah we got to dial in our packs a little bit more! Can't wait to start going again when it starts cooling off! Thanks for watching 😀
