Ready for an unforgettable overnight adventure? Join me, Craig, as I explore the breathtaking Buckeye Mountain, just four hours from Dallas-Fort Worth. Walk with me along the ridge line, marvel at the blooming pyramidal magnolias, and uncover the massive slab of rock at the peak of the mountain. Let's make some memories together as we traverse the winding trails through the trees and navigate the rocky terrain that makes this hike truly extraordinary.

As we descend into the valley, prepare to be captivated by the beauty of Katie Falls, a consistently flowing waterfall that should not be missed. Then, relax at our serene campsite by Caney Creek, surrounded by sheer bluffs and a perfect summertime swimming hole. Stick with me until the final creek crossing before we reach the parking lot and conclude our journey. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and leave a comment with your thoughts or questions. See you out there on the trail!

In April of 2023, I got to return to Caney Creek Wilderness in Arkansas for my third backpacking trip up there. Such a good time there! I got to thinking about wilderness around the campfire and how it leads to such unique experiences. Take a listen to my experience.

Howdy! I recently picked up the Trekker Tent 1.0 from River Country Products on Amazon. It's a lightweight 1 person backpacking tent that uses a single trekking pole for setup. I love my Trekker 2.2 tent, but I was looking for a lighter version with a vestibule. 

I'm taking a quick and dirty look at the River Country Products Trekker Tent 1.0. This tent is perfect for those looking for an affordable and accessible experience. I give it a quick and dirty review in this video and tell you all about the features and specifications of this tent. Don't forget to like this video and subscribe for more great content.

The first weekend in November 2022, my friend Mark and I revisited the Cross Timbers Hiking Trail on the Texas side of Lake Texoma. We had a friendly campfire discussion, and we hope you will enjoy listening. We came here and met for the first time in April of this year, so we thought it was worth a fall trip!
