NEW VIDEO: When Life Gives You Lemons...Go Hiking

**12trysomething** · 05-19-2016, 07:15

Trips don't always go as planned, and this one sure fit that to a T. After some bad luck early in the morning we make the best of it and end up having a blast! We are in the Silver Lake Wilderness Area in the Adirondack on a bushwhack overnight trip. Thanks for watching.

Stuff happens. How we respond when it does matters. Great response to a crappy situation!

good advice on different temp quilts! I don't have any, but never thought about mixing the temp ratings to suit the conditions, thx for the tip

Thanks for sharing. I'm sleepy with the rain hitting that tarp

Which head bug net was that? Looks like fun was had by all of you guys.

Agreed! DuctTape kept his chin up went hiking. Great attitude to a crappy situation.

Glad it may help (in the future).

It is the sea to summit. I have had it for a long time. Rain on the tarp put Jenny out like a light!

Thanks for the video. There must be a story associated with the steel cable left in the woods. Hmmm...

Nobody has mentioned the snakeskin at the beginning of the video... with the snake still using it. That's a really cool shot.

And speaking of shots, that item you found is a speed loader.

My curiosity is peaking wondering how in the world that speed loader got in that location. Did they have speed loaders during the Kennedy assassination? Also that cable in the tree. Did you come up with a reason it was there?
