YouTube Tuesday is here

Check out YouTube Tuesday’s video right here. Find out how I decide which cameras I will use and where I won’t deploy another camera.

Scouting Big South Fork NF

So I decided it was time to take a trip up and explore Big South Fork NF. Left home and headed northeast not knowing what I would find. Also knowing I was going to be dodging thunderstorms all day.

As always with Gaia by my side and no real game plan, I took off looking for an adventure and I found one. Found some really cool old farmstead and some rock formations. Even found some more roads to venture down the next time I go back.

I know have an idea for an overland adventure that will encompass Big South Fork and Daniel Boone NF in one big trip. Stay tuned for more details to come.

Tuesday’s Video is Up

So in this video, we took a day trip to Big South Fork National Forest and scouted for more camping opportunities for this fall. Now storms tried their best to run me off but I weathered through them.

Fall Camping Season is Coming

Written by Patrick K of Mid Tn Outdoors

In the south for some of us, July and August are well dead months for us because the temp is in the 90s with humidity running near 70% which makes the temp feel into the 100’s and no one wants to sleep in that unless you have snake blood.

So we take this time to make repairs or even change up gear parts here and there (because we are never happy with what we have. So far I have replaced weather stripping on the bed cover, and kicked out the firewood for a propane fire pit.) To make things better, faster set up or easier set up at camp so we can be on the trail longer or cover more miles.

With that all said have I ever camped in the middle of summer, and the answer to that is YES. As a scout, we slept in canvas tents that hold in the heat as much as your kitchen oven. So I have done it for many years and as time went on I introduced a battery-operated fan. So now as an adult, I just choose to bypass these two months. Now you know why I choose not to camp in the dead of summer.

But don’t worry won’t be long before we are camping and Overlanding in new places like LBL, DBNF, and some of our great Tennessee State Park and just maybe some other state’s state parks. So stay tuned and well hope to see you out there.
