Ozark Trail Thru Hike Pt 2 Midwest Backpacker 2023-04-11 | I continue on a 230 mile north bound solo thru hike of the Ozark Trail in Missouri. This remote trail has few options for resupply and many wet creek and river crossing that can be impassable with heavy spring rains.If you haven't watched the video for the first leg of this trip, here is a link:youtu.be/2XMA9z2NVXwOn the 2nd leg of the trip, I walk 83 miles from Van Buren to Brushy Creek Lodge. Some cool and wet weather provide some additional challenges to the hike.If you would like to see how I planned this trip watch this video:youtu.be/2ZfTvZaTz_MIf you would like to see what gear I carried and what clothing I wore watch this video:youtu.be/L-5W7k1WZdkLeg 3 of my trip brings me 90 miles from Brushy Creek Lodge to Onondaga Cave State Park.

RIP Rob Pelton Midwest Backpacker 2023-12-26 | My hiking partner for 8 years is leaving me... for a year.

Natural Materials - Wool, Alpaca, Possum Midwest Backpacker 2023-12-19 | Wool, merino wool, alpaca, possum down and other natural fiber materials have been high performing quality clothing for hikers, backpacker, campers, outdoorsmen, and everybody else for hundreds and hundreds of years. Science and man has created similar high performing synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon that have become popular mailed due to a lower price. However, natural materials often remain superior. In this video, I share my favorite wool, merino wool, alpaca, and possum down clothing. I explain why these items are on the op of my list and when alpaca and possum down are better than wool.Midwest Backpacker Merch:midwest-backpacker.creator-spring.comFollow Midwest Backpacker on Facebookfacebook.com/MidwestBackpackerFollow Midwest Backpacker on Instagraminstagram.com/midwest_backpackerGear I frequently Use: Backpacks - Waymark Ultra 38L EVLV and Waymark Framed Thru 40Lwaymarkgearco.comPilgrim Ultralight Highline Framedpilgrimul.comHammock - Warbonnet Ridgerunner -https://www.warbonnetoutdoors.comRain Fly - 13' Warbonnet Thunder Fly and Mountain Fly-https://www.warbonnetoutdoors.comTents - Zpacks Duplex -zpacks.com/products/duplex-tentLuxe Mini Peak XL Hot Tent -threeridgesgear.com/midwestbackpacker3RG Titanium Wood Stove - threeridgesgear.com/midwestbackpackerTop Quilts- UGQ Outdoors 20 Degree Bandit - https://ugqoutdoor.com/top-quilts/ban...Hammock Gear O, 20, and 40 Degree Burrows-https://hammockgear.comUnder Quilts- Warbonnet Outdoors 40 Degree Lynx Underquilthttps://www.warbonnetoutdoors.comLoco Libre 20 and -20 Degree Ridge Reapers with 900 - fill power goose down - https://www.locolibregear.comClothing -REI Magma 850 Hooded Down Jacket (seasonal) -https://www.rei.comREI Rainpants-https://www.rei.com/product/137186/re...Enlightened Equipment Visp Rain Jacket -enlightenedequipment.com/mens-visp-rain-jacket-stockREI Minimalist Waterproof Mittens -rei.com/product/100626/rei-co-op-minimalist-waterproof-mittensAppalachian Gear Company Alpaca Hoodie -appalachiangearcompany.comAppalachian Gear Company Neck Pipe - appalachiangearcompany.comInjinji Merino Wool Toe Sock Liners-amazon.com/dp/B01LW7RHEY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareDarn Tough Merino Wool Socks -amazon.com/dp/B008N4G3TC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareWuru Wool Company - Light Weight Merino Wool Hoodiewuruwool.comLester River Bushcraft Wool Boreal Anorak -lrbushcraft.com/lester-river-bushcraft-wool-boreal-shirt-anorakBrynje Wool Thermo Mesh Long Sleeve Shirt - brynjeusa.comZpaks Conductive Brushtail Possum Down Gloves-zpacks.com/products/possumdown-glovesFootwear - Brooks Cascadia 16 Trail Runners -amzn.to/3pKo50A Steger Artic Mukluks -mukluks.com/Arctic/productinfo/AR+MElectronics - Garmin In-Reach Mini Communicatoramzn.to/3A29lxJAnker Power Banks -amzn.to/2Uxx2xvNitecore NU25 Headlamp -amzn.to/3vPU9AoCamera- iphone 14 Pro MaxUltrapod Lightweight Camera Tripod- amzn.to/3qm3wq6Noxgear39g Bluetooth Speaker -noxgear.com/39gOther Gear- MSR Mini Groundhog Stakes -amzn.to/35w1WwdHilltop Packs Custom Printed Food Bag -hilltoppacks.com/#Sea to Summit Compression Dry Sackhttps://www.rei.com/product/867058/se...Cascade Mountain Tech Hiking Poles-amzn.to/35PfrDrToaks 550ML Cook Pot-amzn.to/3qycNfbBRS Stove - amazon.com/dp/B00NNMF70U?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&th=1Fancy Feast Stove - youtu.be/JkgbwOs3oyEMSR Whisperlite Stove - amzn.to/3TmzMKfToaks Long Handle Spoon-amzn.to/3j30HJ8CNOC 2 Liter Water Bag -currently unavailableSawyer Squeeze Water Filter -amzn.to/2TYmPK6Sit Pad -amzn.to/3hOliz2 Peak Refuel Freeze Dried Meals (Used BCE15 Discount Code for 15% off)peakrefuel.comDown Socks-garagegrowngear.com/products/down-socks-by-goosefeet-gear?_pos=1&_sid=ae99b3c56&_ss=rLite AF Fanny Pack-liteaf.com/product/fanny-packPermethrin-http://www.thetickterminator.com#wool #alpaca #possumdown

Boundary Waters Snowbank Trail Midwest Backpacker 2023-12-05 | A frozen solo Boundary Water Canoe Area (BWCA) backpacking trip gave me a huge challenge. On the 24 mile journey on the Snowbank Trail in the Superior National Forest near Canada, I struggled to regulate my temperature and the subfreezing temperatures made the already rugged trail even more challenging. Cold temperatures, wind, and snow transformed the trail into a hazardous winter wonderland. Walking over frozen beaver dams was an interesting challenge. I stayed warm camping with nice campfires and had a near emergency situation alone in the remote wilderness.

Autumn Dispersed Camp Alone Midwest Backpacker 2023-11-14 | Not much is better than a solo autumn camp in the middle of woods. Just setting up camp, gathering wood, processing wood, building a campfire, cooking meat on the fire, peaceful serenity of a campfire, and sleeping alone. Sleep in, build a fire, have a generous breakfast, pack up and and walk out.On this trip, I disperse camp in the Richard Dorer State Forest near Red Wing, MN.

Bear! Angleworm Trail BWCA Midwest Backpacker 2023-06-13 | The Angleworm Trail in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) is a great 14 mile loop trail that is perfect for an easy overnight camp. The trail circumnavigates several lakes without any major hills. Only 2 permits per day are issued during the summer, however campsites may also be occupied by canoers. The trail could also be completed as a day hike without an overnight permit.The temperatures were hot when I tackled the trail. I had some stunning views. I camped at Whiskey Jack Lake and saw a bear. I was also happy to see a new boardwalk.Midwest Backpacker Merch:midwest-backpacker.creator-spring.comFollow Midwest Backpacker on Facebookfacebook.com/MidwestBackpackerFollow Midwest Backpacker on Instagraminstagram.com/midwest_backpackerGear I frequently Use: Backpack - Waymark Ultra 38L EVLV and Waymark Framed Thru 40Lwaymarkgearco.comHammock - Warbonnet Ridgerunner -https://www.warbonnetoutdoors.comRain Fly - 13' Warbonnet Thunder Fly and Mountain Fly-https://www.warbonnetoutdoors.comTent - Zpacks Duplex -zpacks.com/products/duplex-tentTop Quilts- UGQ Outdoors 20 Degree Bandit - https://ugqoutdoor.com/top-quilts/ban...Hammock Gear O, 20, and 40 Degree Burrows-https://hammockgear.comUnder Quilts- Warbonnet Outdoors 40 Degree Lynx Underquilthttps://www.warbonnetoutdoors.comLoco Libre 20 and -20 Degree Ridge Reapers with 900 - fill power goose down - https://www.locolibregear.comGarmin In-Reach Mini Communicatoramzn.to/3A29lxJMSR Mini Groundhog Stakes -amzn.to/35w1WwdBrooks Cascadia 16 Trail Runners -amzn.to/3pKo50A Anker Power Banks -amzn.to/2Uxx2xvNitecore NU25 Headlamp -amzn.to/3vPU9AoHilltop Packs Custom Printed Food Bag -hilltoppacks.com/#REI Magma 850 Hooded Down Jacket (seasonal) -https://www.rei.comSea to Summit Compression Dry Sackhttps://www.rei.com/product/867058/se...Cascade Mountain Tech Hiking Poles-amzn.to/35PfrDrToaks 550ML Cook Pot-amzn.to/3qycNfbBRS Stove- amazon.com/dp/B00NNMF70U?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&th=1Fancy Feast Stove- youtu.be/JkgbwOs3oyEToaks Long Handle Spoon-amzn.to/3j30HJ8REI Rainpants-https://www.rei.com/product/137186/re...Enlightened Equipment Visp Rain Jacket -enlightenedequipment.com/mens-visp-rain-jacket-stockAppalachian Gear Company Hoodie-appalachiangearcompany.comCNOC 2 Liter Water Bag -currently unavailableSawyer Squeeze Water Filter -amzn.to/2TYmPK6Sit Pad -amzn.to/3hOliz2 Camera- iphone 14 Pro MaxUltrapod Lightweight Camera Tripod- amzn.to/3qm3wq6Noxgear39g Bluetooth Speaker -noxgear.com/39gPeak Refuel Freeze Dried Meals (Used BCE15 Discount Code for 15% off)peakrefuel.comDown Socks-garagegrowngear.com/products/down-socks-by-goosefeet-gear?_pos=1&_sid=ae99b3c56&_ss=rLite AF Fanny Pack-liteaf.com/product/fanny-packPermethrin-http://www.thetickterminator.com#BWCA #backpacking #boundarywaters
Pow Wow Trail - BWCA Midwest Backpacker 2023-06-06 | Despite warnings about the current conditions of the trail due to heavy snow over the winter and numerous trees being down, I head out to tackle the Pow Wow Trail in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in the Superior National Forest. The solo backpacking trip was in late May and had unseasonably hot temperatures. All BWCA hiking trails are rugged. The Pow Wow Trail is probably the most rugged, it also has some very unique and picturesque views.

I Quit My Thru Hike Midwest Backpacker 2023-05-23 | I set out to thru hike the Centennial Trail in South Dakota for the 2nd time. This time I was headed southbound (last time it was NOBO). This trail through the Black Hills is one of my favorites. After carpooling to the trail with friends doing a section hike, my time was limited to 4 days. So I was trying my most aggressive itinerary yet. Unfortunately, a lingering cold had other plans. After 23 and 30 mile days, I was beat up and camped out until my friends were ready to go home. Not what we had planned, but still a fun trip capped off with a drive through the Badlands.Midwest Backpacker Merch:midwest-backpacker.creator-spring.comFollow Midwest Backpacker on Facebookfacebook.com/MidwestBackpackerFollow Midwest Backpacker on Instagraminstagram.com/midwest_backpackerGear I frequently Use: Backpack - Waymark Ultra 38L EVLV and Waymark Framed Thru 40Lwaymarkgearco.comHammock - Warbonnet Ridgerunner -https://www.warbonnetoutdoors.comRain Fly - 13' Warbonnet Thunder Fly and Mountain Fly-https://www.warbonnetoutdoors.comTent - Zpacks Duplex -zpacks.com/products/duplex-tentTop Quilts- UGQ Outdoors 20 Degree Bandit - https://ugqoutdoor.com/top-quilts/ban...Hammock Gear O, 20, and 40 Degree Burrows-https://hammockgear.comUnder Quilts- Warbonnet Outdoors 40 Degree Lynx Underquilthttps://www.warbonnetoutdoors.comLoco Libre 20 and -20 Degree Ridge Reapers with 900 - fill power goose down - https://www.locolibregear.comGarmin In-Reach Mini Communicatoramzn.to/3A29lxJMSR Mini Groundhog Stakes -amzn.to/35w1WwdBrooks Cascadia 16 Trail Runners -amzn.to/3pKo50A Anker Power Banks -amzn.to/2Uxx2xvNitecore NU25 Headlamp -amzn.to/3vPU9AoHilltop Packs Custom Printed Food Bag -hilltoppacks.com/#REI Magma 850 Hooded Down Jacket (seasonal) -https://www.rei.comSea to Summit Compression Dry Sackhttps://www.rei.com/product/867058/se...Cascade Mountain Tech Hiking Poles-amzn.to/35PfrDrToaks 550ML Cook Pot-amzn.to/3qycNfbBRS Stove- amazon.com/dp/B00NNMF70U?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&th=1Fancy Feast Stove- youtu.be/JkgbwOs3oyEToaks Long Handle Spoon-amzn.to/3j30HJ8REI Rainpants-https://www.rei.com/product/137186/re...Enlightened Equipment Visp Rain Jacket -enlightenedequipment.com/mens-visp-rain-jacket-stockAppalachian Gear Company Hoodie-appalachiangearcompany.comCNOC 2 Liter Water Bag -currently unavailableSawyer Squeeze Water Filter -amzn.to/2TYmPK6Sit Pad -amzn.to/3hOliz2 Camera- iphone 14 Pro MaxUltrapod Lightweight Camera Tripod- amzn.to/3qm3wq6Noxgear39g Bluetooth Speaker -noxgear.com/39gPeak Refuel Freeze Dried Meals (Used BCE15 Discount Code for 15% off)peakrefuel.comDown Socks-garagegrowngear.com/products/down-socks-by-goosefeet-gear?_pos=1&_sid=ae99b3c56&_ss=rLite AF Fanny Pack-liteaf.com/product/fanny-packPermethrin-http://www.thetickterminator.com#backpackinggear #thruhike #ultralight
