Hi everyone!

I recently wrapped up something I’ve been working toward for a long time, primitive backpack camping in all 20 Pennsylvania State Forests. The last one was Cornplanter, and I checked it off with a 110-mile loop through Allegheny National Forest with a short detour to Anders Run Natural area in Cornplanter.

I put together my first YouTube video from the trip if anyone’s interested:

The route included the North Country Trail, Tanbark Trail, some road walking, a lot of old logging roads, and a fair amount of bushwhacking to avoid private land. It ended up being a pretty rugged but really rewarding few days, finishing with a run on the NCT back to the trailhead.

This is my first video, so go easy on me, but I’d truly appreciate any constructive feedback. I already know I need better night footage… bringing a floodlight headlamp next time

Thanks for taking a look, and I’m happy to share more details on the route if anyone’s interested!
