Yo. Editor and colorfully purple hiking partner here! Check out the deranged side of the story on my channel at the link, and tell me what's crackin'. Maybe go comment a weird Australian animal fact, idk. Holla. 😘
Hope y'all liked the vid, and it's so cool seeing so much larger an audience after the PCT series! 150k is huge!

Blink twice if you’re Post Malone…

"Stick bugs" mate here in the Ozarks in October.
@@brotherbrovet1881 I KNEW IT THEY WERE HOT TO TROT MAN 😂😂
@@luke_mckay Yep. Now all their tiny green babies are everywhere in the Spring. Those things congegrate on the tin roof of our cabin in mid-late October into November. They precede the whitetail rut.
"You can tell it's Rocky from the way it is" - so glad someone else has seen Lenny Pepperbottom. HOW NEAT IS THAT?
That’s pretty neat
You can tell it's an Aspen from the way it is 👀
Not to be that guy but it seems like everyone on earth has seen that
I am glad to see this meme is still alive 😅
Going through school for Arboriculture & Urban Forestry it was a Great joke! 😂
It's my favorite time of all time.
Happy to see a documentary style video from Kyle.
Same here much better format
Great vid! This is my home trail. It's a winter hike. You started about a month early. In November the dry season ends, the views open up, the undergrowth dies back, the temps get reasonable and the damn spiders go away.
The temps were actually really nice except for the major cold snap the first couple days. It was just such a dry season this year!
I was anticipating this dog when I thru hiked the Ouachita in January ‘23 and can report that a new fence has recently been installed to prevent the aggressive dog from leaving the property. It was still a very vocal dog for a good distance as I hiked past. Another banger vid!
That is good to hear! Thanks for watching Patrick
Starts with a butt pad and ends with a camp chair
I walked this trail in 2020. Last year i was on the PCT with you, but was a flip-flopper so didn't see you. Glad you had fun on our trail here, its a banger! Also, walking sticks are the unnoficial insect of that trail. Harmless, but SOOOOO MANY of THEM!
THEYRE EVERYWHERE
I been wondering where my dudes been. Good stuff and shout out to Luke for the edits and grabbing that small clip of 60 cent. Shows the love in what you do. Take care guys!
Gotta make sure our boy gets his feature ✌🏼
Good ol' fashion Kyle Hates Hiking vid. Been here since before the PCT, and it's nice to see another video like this.
I love long-form content. Cant wait for more in the future.
I ran into y'all at Deadmans Gap while I was picking up empty water cache bottles. Glad to see you enjoyed our little trail.
I REMEMBER YOU! Thanks for that! Hope the trail maintenance went well after we finished.
What did you drop at 42.50? Great hike vid and good company
Wondering the same ….
Same. We need answers.
I asked the same thing!
I somehow missed this video from before. It was a welcome surprise and thoroughly enjoyed it. Seemed like you guys had a good time, and that trail looks quite interesting.
Who would have thought the PCT would give you a new hiking buddy that WASN'T on the trail
I'm a fellow thru hiker! I was the editor for his PCT series, so we already had a decent rapport! I was actually hiking with them for a section in the PCT thru in episode 11.
@@luke_mckay Oh for sure! You did a baller job editing those, especially the ones with the bad audio that you endured for us. I guess I was thinking from the standpoint of when Kyle was looking for and editor to help him with the PCT videos, did Kyle ever think he would meet someone like yourself that gelled so well. I love the energy you bring to the videos too! Just out there having fun!
Been on a lil hiatus and haven’t looked at YT in a while. Great to see the progress the channel has made, congrats on reaching 150k subs. You also look a lot healthier and happier than before. Well done 👏
Luke: “If this praying mantis was life size…”
Haha! That praying mantis IS life size!
everyone was pretty "sleepy" on trail aka B A K E D to a crisppp
Loved seeing the late-fall colors! Great video, thank you for sharing your adventure
They were great, just wish there wasn't a drought going on! They would have been better for us if it wasn't so dry this year.
I'm so glad you took the Ouachita trail! I've only done a section of it so far - incidentally while hiking around Horse Thief Springs - but I hope to make it my first thru-hike. Those spiders are no joke, especially in October!
I cracked up so much while watching this. Great editing!
Thank you!! ❤️🔥
150K stick bugs (I mean subscribers) say thank-you. Always remember what Luke said, "there's a joke in there somewhere".
There always is 👀 stay frosty
what’s the mini frisbee yall kept throwing around?? looks so fun
Nice vid Kyle. Did that trail one month before the whole covid thing happened. Loved it. Oh, it's not Wilson mtn., but Wilton mtn. and it's a butt kicker. Come back to Arkansas and do our Ozark Highland Trail (225ish miles). No stick bugs on that one.
Thanks for the LMNT hook up! I wanted to try it and now I get some freebies 🙏
NW Arkansas native here, FYI that google pronunciation wasn't really correct anyway. It's WAH-shuh-tah, first syllable sounds like 'washing machine', second syllable sounds like you were saying a curse word but stopped yourself at the last moment, third syllable sounds like 'tawny' or 'Tonga'. Stress goes on the first syllable. You said it basically right at 18:07. Lots of names in this region are native names, filtered through French explorers, before being written in English.
Locals call the stickbugs a 'walkingstick'. Yes, they are very common at certain times of the year.
Man o man y'all were in my back yard! Ouacita (washitah) national forest. I live about 4 miles from the trail @ Pinnacle, we hunt turkey off some of those trails. Good hiking... better hunting. Great content!
Another awesome video! What did u drop from ur pack at the end?
honestly when I was watching this back I was wondering that same thing 😬 I have no idea
Congrats on 150k and thank you for the content
Your only complaint was the leaves?
I'm pretty sure you complained more than that.
Totally expected from Karen hates hiking. 🤣
Im so happy to see this.
Most Okies say 'Wah-shi-taw'
Wah like water or awe
Shi like shit or shifty
Taw like tall or top
Thoroughly entertained! Music choices were on point.
Hey dudes, Great video! Making me miss the free time to backpack I used to have before starting my master's. Have you ever thru hiked the Arizona trail? One of my favorites I've ever done.
Also badass to see you doing the ouachita its very close to where I live and I feel like it never gets proper recognition
The trail is 200 miles long?
@@Last_Chance. I believe it's somewhere around 220. But they are currently planning to link jt to the ozark highland trail which is 333 miles, then link the oht to the buffalo river trail up to the ozark trail for somewhere around 1000 miles I believe
I think this is the first video I’ve watch that has a full trail hike. I liked it. I want to try to hike a section if I’m ever in OK!
You can tell Luke edited this video. Great job Luke 🤘🤘
Thanks, m8 🤙🏼
"Oh yeah, that's the good stuff" being sung from off camera made me burst out laughing while on the stationary bike. I may now have a hernia.
😂😂 if I didn't sing it I would have had the itch all day
Good vid! Enjoyed it and HAHAHA your buddy is hilarious! “If a praying mantas was life sized.. “ 😅😂
IT WOULD RULE US ALL
THANKS FOR WATCHING ❤️🔥
Bug net 100 percent if you come to fl to hike. plenty of bug spray too.
Great video! I started out backpacking in a hammock. I lean more to tents these days. Hammocks are super comfortable, but the setup is so much more complicated. I can pitch my TigerWall or Duplex in five minutes.
You're living my dream bro. If I could afford it I would be backpacking all the time
You can. Barter your work for a little money along a trail. Keep doing it. There's programs out there even for other countries where you can do this. Bills? You won't have bills on trail.
@@ittotaq I mean, what’s he going to do about his home? Or responsibilities he has, I know you mean well, but I see this way too much. People act like you can just drop everything and live out in the woods, like you have no attachments or responsibilities, but that isn’t usually the case. And how do you know he can? You don’t know his situation.
Do it!
I think most people need a home base. I love hiking but I guess I love having a home, a pension,
401K, a mountain bike and a season pass to Killington more. I did the weekend thing for decades and now retired I am doing weeks on the trail. Fortunately my body is still good and the gear is super light. When I was young I did take some summers off to go West and backpack but mostly for rock climbing. After doing that for a few years and essentially having nothing but a beat up car, some climbing gear I went back to work full time. Living on the trail is doable but after a while it grows old. I love having a home.

Been waiting for this video. I have around 60 miles left to finish. Does have a couple rocks on it.
Really great vlogging!!! I’ve been looking for western trails that aren’t desert. Thank you!!!
I say you keep the rat hat lol
Was literally just scrolling your channel for a video I haven't watched yet. Great timing
150k Heck yes man! What a journey its been watching this channel growth. Aight lets watch it.
Congrats on 150K! Great video man.
Great video I enjoyed it. You guys are some hoots 😂😂❤
That was a lot of fun to watch.
First of all, I love all the music on your videos. Second, Luke is hilarious and if he is your editor A+. Third, the stick bugs are walking sticks. Fourth, I subbed cuz I can’t currently hike. So I go with you, and sintax77 (and a few others). Until I can get back out there.
Woah! In my backyard! I had no idea this existed! Thanks for the info, dude!
Well, all the info. I've been trying to decide on getting a hammock setup, and was good to see one in action. Think maybe I'm going to spend the money on a traditional ultralight tent instead. Just looks unreliable, and I'm a delicate flower. Sleep is important.
Re: Trail angels. I'm not really in a "hiker community" or whatever. Nor am I a badass RUclipsr with folks that want to hang. Any advice on hitching rides to town?
He made this video about hitch hiking on the AT years ago.
ruclips.net/video/YfPvxjo2Gzg/видео.html
It's pretty basic advice. Some towns might provide shuttles, but for the most part your gonna hitch hike.
Lori at the blue bell Cafe will send a car to come pick up hungry hikers , great home-cooked meals, and some hiker Friendly resupply items in her little store (small limited selection)
There are several poeple who offer shuttles around the area too , can get a bit pricey but might help with your planning
Fall is better than tick season. Plus hot summer has less water
Congrats on reaching 150k subscribers!
Stick bugs. Here in the Ozarks we call them "walking sticks". Great video. You should come back sometime and try the Ozark Highlands Trail.
we need to get this man a water proof camera come on guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know what I liked most about this trail? That there wasn't anyone else out there. So quiet, except for the three knuckleheads, and beautiful views.Pretty cool of 60c to show up and help out for a day or two. This was one of the best kept secret hikes out there. Thanks Kyle. Luke I love the memes and other work you put into Kyles vids. Kyle let the PCT thing go man.
Thanks for watching! Yeah, it was pretty dang desolate. 😅
Great video, love the format!
Editing on this one was epic! Finally got to watch the end. Was that something important that fell out of your side pocket of your pack on the last morning? Thanks Kyle. NQU
Thanks!!
-editor
We were wondering the same thing. What fell out of your pocket?
They have a trail cleanup weekend every year towards the end of October. I made the mistake 1 time of hiking before it and won't do that again. I think January is when they started to get rain and now there is plenty of water. Everyone posts online about that dog. I have a rottie that I hike with so I'm not sure how things will work out when I get to that section of trail. It's weird cuz we are like, this is great that it's not a busy trail but then when you're out there you hope to run into people. Anyways, great to see a hiking video from you.
Yeah, we had just missed the trail cleanup. Did the whole thing and then they went and serviced it. 😂 Oh well.
I was just hiking in OK! Trying to experience hiking in a different state! It was great!
I live in Oklahoma and explored that trail this week. Maybe your video will get more people out here! Thanks!
Did they pronounce it correctly?
@@conservativehippie9736 it’s wash-ih-taw
@@conservativehippie9736 most commonly it is pronounced Washita with emphasis on the first syllable. I have also heard Wahsheeta with emphasis on second syllable, but that’s rare.
They are called walking sticks not stick bugs,,, lol
I love watching you
Ouachita was my 2nd ever hike through. And it was constantly colder overnight than anywhere else in the state.. one of my favorite trails!
Dude, that WAS a life sized praying mantis.
Now THAT was a great hike!😊
Damn, lol. Scooter point 😂
Have you ever considered hiking the Sheltowee Trace in Kentucky?
I like the techno music and hammocking, What backpack is Luke using? I like all the pockets on the shoulder straps. Thank You
It's a custom RedPaw pack! Here's a video I did for it on my channel!
ruclips.net/video/hkc65SDF0h4/видео.html
Absolutely love the pack, and Matt (company owner) worked with me every step of the way to make it to my exact preferences. Even ordered that blue V15 fabric. He did all kindsa mods that he didn't do in his normal packs. It's as easy as just sending him a DM on his insta!
30:30 has to be Ouchita Pinnacle on Blue Mtn. You can't mistake that view!!
You dropped something when you were putting on your pack at 42:49. What was it, and did you pick it up after the camera stopped filming? You can really see the effect thru-hiking has on the body by watching your editor friend slim down over the course of the video. Maybe I should hit that trail, too.
Thru hiking is definitely a great way to lose weight, LOL. I went from 205 to around 170 on my AT thru hike. It's rough on the ol' body!
🤘 Rad vid!
Beautiful hiking weather. Sure do hope Buttercup is feeling better
I did not realize you did the Ouachita Trail!! I did it with my son and a friend from the army back in 2021. After watching Jeff Garmeyer do it with his girlfriend. So cool! The best maintained Trail with the best shelters I've ever seen. You pronounced it right too and I'm sure you learned it from the locals! Did you stop at the trail Angel's diner in the middle of it? I can't remember the ladies name that owned it, but she was wonderful. Wash i tah!
How much water did you carry on the 20 mile part?
Love your editing!
Thanks! I'm actually the editor for this vid (and the hiking partner). Glad you dig it!
You beautiful bastard! Graced us with a 45 min video! Also misidentifying the stick bug as a mantis was hilarious. They're pretty rare in Pennsylvania.
I knew it was a stick bug, we were just talking about praying mantises and I thought it would be funny to include the audio talking about a giant praying mantis taking over 😂
@@luke_mckay awe man you ruined it for me, also you were awesome in the videos. Definitely made me chuckle a lot.
Great vid! Ordered some LMNT too!
Nice to see you on the trail again
Great video. What did you drop at 42:49?
I hope you manage to stop beating yourself up half sarcastically about the PCT. Wildfires are one of the scariest natural disasters there are. I moved to CA from the Midwest and nothing out there compared to the destruction and fear that comes with wildfires. It's not just a physical danger, it can also affect your mental health. You and flossy did a fantastic job tackling the PCT and you should be damn proud of how much you got through, especially considering your lack of experience hiking in the type of heat you get out here.
I live in arkansas and the ouchita trail is awesome.
If you're a fan of terrible 50s and 60s horror/sf flicks, check out The Deadly Mantis. It's great fun.
you seem like so much fun - come hike CT lmfao
#KylesBallCheck @12:17 with his short shorts ball check got me... lol
I've been living out of my backpack for about 2 years, hitchiking and walking around America, and hammocks are the best way to go. Sneak in the woods, find two trees, boom. Add a tarp for rain and you're sleeping like a doctor.
Like doctah!!
Joey Diaz reference?
Ooh dang. Fresh off the press!
3/4 under quilt is rough in cold temps. I used a ccf pad and an inflatable klymit sit pad under my feet. + thick wool socks. And that still generally sucks. Lol I just ended up buying a full length to be more comfortable and it saves on weight. 20 degree yeti to 20 degree heat incubator
Nice. Got in some hammock hang time. Looked like a great trip.
The 500 budget gear that Dan Becker recommends is fire
the best documentary video friends.
Loved this! I need to stop watching & start hiking! But this was much more entertaining!
5:06 I find it extraordinary that, after so many through hikes that 22 degrees F is the coldest night you’ve spent on the trail. Doesn’t it get colder in The High Sierras on the PCT?
I will be digging deeper to find out when floss showin up
Too much floss*
Well, that dog tried to stop you, so you faced adversity. 😊❤
8:22 that's a walking stick bug
walking stick/stick bug, same same.
I knew it was a stick bug, we were just talking about praying mantises at the time and I thought it was a funny clip to include, lol
Lol isnt that praying mantis life sized? 😂😂😂😂
“Wash it awe” is how to say it.
I hiked pct in 08. I used my hyperlight. I am trying to recall how many times i had to move on looking for trees. Ground dwelling is worse than extra miles.
And I'm not even a hiker but I love your videos! 😁
Pepper spray works well for those unwelcome dog encounters. Ill give the dog a fair chance sure but, second time it comes in range...getting a face full.
I have a deep seated fear of walking sticks ingrained from childhood in the SE. So many in your vid make me loath to hike that trail. *shudder* Love Luke’s inserts. Come bag some peaks with me next time you’re in CO.
Pretty sure it was just the time of year we were out there. They were quite.... Active.
I thought that was a life-size praying mantis. Aren't all praying mantises life-size? (Actually, I think it was a walking stick bug, not a praying mantis.)
It was a stick bug lol get these boys a field guide!!
You're right, we were talking about bugs while watching the stick bug crawling around, and I thought about a giant praying mantis that could undoubtedly take over the world 😂
Yes, and they're also called Walking Sticks.
