Sispy wilderness in Alabama
“Mancation” kind of makes it sound gay. “Staycation” is something the Kardashians would say.
This is awesome
Mark, where abouts in Alabama are you from? Sipsey is out my back door
It’s late Fawl Here xD
Great video
Worthy of a like and sub. Good job, great fun.
Excellent video,many thanks.
awesome video! super helpful thanks. here is a great backpack that I am buying from amazon if anyone wanted any suggestions! http://www.amazon.com/Deuter-Speed-Lite-20-Backpack/dp/B004E0K5PC/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&keywords=hiking%20backpacks&linkCode=ur2&qid=1448071355&sr=8-3&tag=ifrlodo07-20&linkId=QCUAXJVQEURVHU2Z
Kojack is amazing!
Mark, you are the greatest, enjoyed your journey.!,!
Well done.
This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. It really does inspire me to go out on an adventure, please do more!
Great video! A lot of good hints and tips. I love the “happy at the cash register, sad down the trail” counsel. I’ve never repelled before but it looks fun.
Just a thought – I use a two sock system (thin synthetic inners and wool outers) and have done river crossings (not as cold as the ones in your video). The system draws moisture out of my boots and the slippery inner socks along with the wool socks cut down friction so I’ve never had a blister since using this system. For those who have diabetes foot protection is extremely important.
Muy bonito video,precioso lugar,ese tipo de bosque es muy similar al de mi país,Honduras….saludos.
excellent vid
You look like you had blast. Thank you for sharing the adventure with us.
Thanks for taking me along
dont buy nothing from china!
Nicely done, Gentlemen! Beautiful secluded and remote area. Do others, do the same hike as you all did and did you find any other firepits or caves where others before you might have stayed? Thank you for taking us all along with you!

afraid to get wet ?
Been through Ala.years ago but didn’t realize until now what beautiful country it is! I loved watching the shimmering moss hanging from the trees in the early mornings..We don’t have that here in WA. State. I’m only 3 hrs. from Glacier Park, Mt and about the same to the Cascades Mtn. Range here WA. Also resided in Montana for many years.
I keep waiting for a black or grizzly to visit all of you. LOL! Enjoy yourselves!
Now that’s real backpacking.. Nothing like these Ultra light wimps that have these videos up.
You guys..and Kojack..are tough as nails! Regular backpacking looks a little tame after this!
I wanna see Kojak doing rappel!
very nice video
Awesome
_Awesome adventure. Would of loved to see Kojack repel down the cliff can’t believe you didn’t tape that. Regardless it was really good. Thanks for the video_
great vid. check out my channel
Great vid! Especially the repelling. Thanx for sharing it with us. Stay safe and peace out bro.

Mancation, ha I like it. Very nice, thanks for taking us along.
Wow, that looks like a great place to hike. I’m in Southeast Alabama and I haven’t ventured up to Sipsee yet, but I hope to sometime soon. Just curious, was all the repelling mandatory for the particular trails you were taking? Or was it more or less hike the trail and find a place to repell? Also, there is a forum on Facebook for Alabama Backpackers that I think you might find interesting and most people have Facebook already so there is no sign up, “Bama Backpacker’s Forum”. Check it out!
