Off-Roading Pickett State Forest

In this video, I tag along with Bill and Music City 4X4 and take on some trails and Pickett State Forest. We spent the whole day and still didn’t touch them all.

Driving Tour of Mousetail Landing

Here is your Tuesday video on YouTube, it is the driving tour of Mousetail Landing State Park. I take you around the park and point out camping and other highlights of the park.

Pickett State Forest Offroad

Wheeling Pickett Forest

So this trip had us leaving the house at 5:30 am headed to Pickett to meet up with the rest of the crew. There would be 20 Jeeps driving 28 miles over an 8 hours of the day.

This trip would take us to Mineral Pond, and many other landmarks all throughout the forest.

Mineral Pond

I am going to leave our trek at the bottom if you would like to take this trek. I will say I highly recommend you have a four-wheel drive and at least 35″ tires and at least 2 1/2″ lift and go in a group. This is not time for a solo adventure here. Also recommend having wench and recovery gear, you may need it is some places. It is also known during rainy pierods to get muddy.

Below is the GPX trek from Gaia.

Fickle Weather

Tennessee Weather No One Knows!!

I have lived in Tennessee all of my life and one thing you can count on is the weather is never going to be the same from one weekend to another. Just two weeks ago I went camping and the temps got down into the low thirties that night and dropped down to 31 degrees at daybreak.

Cold Weather

Fast forward two weeks and headed out again and check the forecast as you should before you head out yet going to be another beautiful weekend with one exception lows in the 50s, so once again adjust gear for the temps and be ready for much warmer weather.

Warm Weather

The most important thing is to have the gear for the weather, a warmer sleeping bag for cold weather, and a cooler sleeping bag for warm weather. Also, go from layers of clothing to a lot fewer layers of clothing. You even can change your food between the two campouts. When it is cold you want foods that will warm the body like chili or a stew. In warm weather, I am more likely to fix a burger or something liter like fajitas. So always planing my sleeping bag, clothes, and food too the weather. Bring it on Tennessee, I got you either way.

Can’t Do it!!

Camping in Bear Country

Camping in Bear Country

I head up to Big South Fork for this Tuesday’s video for what turned out to be a very fantastic Overlanding/camping trip. Would I see a bear camping in bear country? Come along and find out in part one of a two-part video. Testing more new equipment and not going the way I hoped.
