Me and my squad are doing the kaibab trail in october so trying to find what needs to be done

Unfortunately no massage services at this beach. There were plenty of hammocks spread throughout the property to relax in though.

Oh man…wind like that is the worst. It can really get bad out there and it makes camping almost impossible.

Well thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful. I hope you have a great trip and let me know how it goes!

Yeah this trail has some gnarly sections for sure! Great tips and I agree wholeheartedly. Congrats on completing this trail. It’s an amazing trek!

Hey thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I just subscribed to yours as well…looks like you guys have quite a list of adventures. I’m looking forward to checking it all out. And yeah that sounds good! Hopefully we will make it back out that way soon!

Hey thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! I agree, this place is downright amazing…it’s easy to keep watching!

Yes, I hated to hear about that. This was our 3rd trip here. I remember seeing it on the news. Don’t let that deter you from coming here though. They do not snorkel out in the area where the attack took place…in fact there are no tour companies that go out there anymore. It happened by one of the smaller islands just north east of Rose Island. Today they only snorkel on the south side and have never seen any shark activity there. Also, they have everyone wear these bracelets that emit a signal that’s used as a shark deterrent. The company has done a good job making this as safe as possible.

Yeah it was fun riding the horses into the water…such a memorable experience. I hope you have a great cruise!

Dude…it was your post that inspired this whole trip. That’s nuts…I discovered the Oak springs trail and it intrigued me. I kept wondering why no one ever connected it to the Window Trail and then up Emory. It makes no sense that this trek isn’t the most popular hike in Big Bend. I’m thankful that I found your post on Fastest Known Time. Who coined the name “Chisos Escalade Route”? I love the name. Thanks for the compliment! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for inspiring me to do this trek!

Oh wow, 20 years living in my favorite place on earth…how awesome. Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

So you only need the camping permit if you wish to continue along the Kalalau trail. If you want to do the trail to the beach or to the waterfall you only need a shuttle pass or a parking pass. No need for the camping one. Hope you can make it work. It’s amazing trail!

Yeah this one is really great! Enjoy it…and get there Early!

Oh wow…m not a fan of bats. That would not have been fun. Btw, this is an old video…I made an updated video from a more recent trip. The new one is much easier to watch IMO. Thanks for watching

No way! I bet that trail was nuts…I’d love to give that a shot. This trail is no joke! Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

You ladies were great! I’m so glad I ran into yall as well! Btw, thank you for turning g me onto the “Untamed” book. I finished it just before I posted this. Such a great book! Great to meet you and maybe our paths will cross again soon!

Thank you! It was so great meeting all of you! Yall were such a cool group of friends! Keep living an awesome life and hopefully we will run into each other again soon!

You bet! Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, I totally agree. I felt it was interesting at the time…I’d totally do it differently today. My style has changed significantly since I shot this. It is what it is though…

Thank you! Yeah this one is definitely flat but much more spread out. I covered over 42 miles on this trip. A new record for me! This island is popular among older backpackers do the very reason you mentioned. It’s a great destination. And the umbrella! That thing is a game changer. It weighs next to nothing…it’s strong, and honestly it keeps you dryer than a rain jacket. Plus it keeps my camera dry while I’m shooting in the rain.

@@TheNotLostNomad I guess I lived by the motto, "no rain, no Maine" although I wasn't a thru hiker, just a section hiker for decades. In the old days we just accepted that rain was a part of backpacking, just like it is motorcycling (which I also do, or at least did until I sold my last bike last year). Sometimes it happens. But I am not averse to new ideas! Btw, on a subsequent rewatch of this I noticed that they have potable water faucets along the trail! What wizardry is this? I always had to hike a quarter mile off the trail to find a spring or creek or something!

Hey thanks Brian! Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah Lost Valley pack a punch for a small park. It’s great

Oh yeah I remember you guys! Glad I got to meet you! Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Maybe we will meet again. I’m already making plans to go back. I loved Cumberland!

Thanks man! You’d love it out there! Just don’t get out on the trails up on the North end. I agree with you about the ticks. The gators were cool to see though

@@TheNotLostNomad what about wearing long pants to avoid ticks?

Wow, thank you! Filming here was so much fun. Glad you enjoyed it!

I agree! I've been following NotLostNomad (Clint) for well over a year. His video editing just keeps getting better and better. I've told him that he could make NatGeo videos, he's that good.

Yeah I definitely fell in love with this place…so chilled and I already have plans to return with my wife and girls. Go there now. Before it catches on

@@TheNotLostNomad I believe I will!

It’s such an easy trip. The ferry is only 30 minutes from the Jacksonville, Florida airport.

@@TheNotLostNomad Thanks! I’ll look into it. Gotta a big trip in Colorado first.

I use the Nemo Hornet 1p. It’s been discontinued but you might be able to find one out there. I love it…I got the idea from seeing Craig Adams use it. Light weight and practical.

@@TheNotLostNomad thanks.

Oh yeah! I remember you guys! Yeah this one took me a while to get out. Glad to meet you guys!

@@TheNotLostNomad still editing mine😅

It’s a lot of work right! Great memories though!

So you can use your map app on your phone for directions to hideaways beach. It’s on the northern end of the Princeville area…on the road that takes you to the resort. When we were there…we accessed it by a small parking lot that held maybe 8-9 cars. Then just as the video shows you will follow the path past the fences and then down the steep stairs/trail. Technically speaking it’s closed…but it’s only for liability reasons…the owners label it as closed to avoid any issue of someone getting hurt. A local highly recommended it. Hope this helps!

You know I’m not exactly sure…but my guess would be that dogs would not be allowed. I never saw one.

There is one part where the trail shrinks a tiny bit and is really windy but it’s nothing too bad. My 10 year old brother did it no problem.

@@andrewbennett1776 ok thank you

Sorry for the late response…yeah this trail gets a real in a few spots but nothing too scary. As long as you pay attention to not getting too close to the edges you should be fine.

Just in a few spots…the trail gets narrow close to some drop offs but nothing too scary. Just be careful in those spots and you’ll be fine!

@@TheNotLostNomad I did the hike it was brutal!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Sorry this is a late response…how did your trip go?

If I remember correctly it was maybe late September/early October

You bet! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Definitely add this one to your list for your next trip. I cannot imagine having two weeks in Big Bend…that must have been an awesome trip!
