    Thumbs up VIDEO: Bluefin's Solo Overnight Hike Part Two

    Hey Gang,

    Here is part Two:

    In this part, I show some house foundations from an old fishing community. In the late 1960s there was a bad storm and the bridge and several fishing flakes and houses were washed out to sea. There were no injuries or deaths luckily. The community was then abandoned after the last storm. I show me cooking supper at night,then breakfast and lunch and my hammock set up. Enjoy and please comment.

    Any suggestions to improve my set up or video are welcomed. Thanks.

    There are not enough bridges like that in the world. Big bridge like that and it still moves! Your videos set a nice relaxed pace. I got to see the place and get a feel for it too. Very peaceful night, good cook up and a Canadian beer to top it off! Your set up looks pretty good to me. I’m a big fan of tarp doors. Good for wind and rain.

    Hey that was great thank you. I really enjoyed it while sipping my coffee. Beautiful scenery you have up there. Love it. Those suspensions bridges make me a little nervous. I hiked across the 265 foot long Toccoa suspension bridge up in north GA back in May and it was a little bouncy. Yikes is what was going through my mind. aahhaha! Thanks again!

    Nice trip and thanks for the video. Keep them coming.
