I had the pleasure of hiking one of the most picturesque sections of the Buffalo River Trail with my friend, David this past weekend. In this video, David shares an introduction to hammock camping based on his 5 years of hanging and light-weight backpacking.
The trail from Ponca, AR to Kyle’s Landing covers 10 miles of spectacular vistas and seasonal waterfalls in the creek valleys. We were fortunate to see and photograph a large elk herd in the Boxley Valley as well as 2 trumpeter swans before we began our overnight hike.
For those who might be interesting in hammock camping, I highly recommend the hammockforums.net website. It is run by friendly, helpful people eager to share their knowledge regardless of your experience level. Plus, the site is filled with pictures and videos of backcountry trips, gear reviews and all the best places to buy hammocks and hammock camping accessories.
If I may borrow your ending…lookin’ good Mike! Nancy and I look forward to your Saturday Adventure every week and are disappointed when you skip one. I’m glad to see that your heart is still beating…
Dad
Thanks Dad! Life is good.
Mike
Okay. Saw you updated on LinkedIn. Went to your page. Clicked to your blog. Found this. Have you shared this with any distributors, like the Outdoor Channel? I’m serious. I couldn’t have been more engaged with the person talking to me. That would be you. Personable. Eloquent. Honest. Passionate. This is probably what you should have always done for a living.
Looking good, Mike!
Snort.
Skip,
I can’t tell you how much that means coming from you. I sure appreciate the kind words and encouragement. I hope to catch up with you soon.
Mike
Once again, I’m really impressed with your videos, your passion, your expertise and the way you come across on-screen. Please give a shout the next time you’re headed this way. Jones and I would love to share a beer.

Thank you Skip. It would be a pleasure to meet you and Mr. Jones for a beer.
