October Camping with a Bivy

Companion forum thread to: October Camping with a Bivy

Mid October in NY. Perfect temperature with clear skies day and night. A short 9.3 mile hike through the park,  across some small mountains…

Nice job. Looks familiar. I think there are two perfectly good trees at the campsite to hang a hammock! :)

Short hikes are good especially if you’re walking with someone you enjoy talking to.

Yeah plenty of trees to hang from.  I actually just picked up a large 12 ft tarp for hammock or ground camp so if I’m torn between which one I want to do, I can do both. Nothing more comfortable then my hammock but something very special about earthing, lol.  Short for me, long for him but we made it work.  49 years old and we been besties since kindergarten!  I don’t talk much as u may have heard me say at one point.. ” I don’t wanna talk”  but conversation is always good!  Thanks for checking it out!

Your first video looked like your first video. It felt a bit rushed. Your second video looked like your tenth. A lot more relaxed a well done. Your lunch looked interesting. I thought I’d personally add some chia or maybe Basil seed. Nice shots of the scenery. The rock outcroppings make nice view points. Good practice letting your buddy set the pace when he was having a rough time. Its always hard to turn back. You obviously made the best of it. Good job. I’ll look forward to the next one.

Hahaa. Thanks. I just do what ever happens. There was no turning back!!

Where’s the short video about what’s in your pack? Thanks!

Never mind dirtbag, I found it. Thanks for posting about your trips, especially at Harriman!

Whoaaa. $550.  I really do love my MLD eVent bivy when called for.

@ Kerry F.  No problem.  I love Harriman for a quick escape that is close by.  So many trails  to hike and things to see and places to sleep too!
