That nobby tree looked unique.

That looks like a really great trail! Certainly a great day out there enjoying the forest😁

Lovely work man, forest looks and sounds so enjoyable and enchanting! Love it 👏

Thanks once again for the mention. I bet that's a decent view up there when it a clear day plus no leaves on the trees. Nice little shower you got.I'm glad you didn't get your silly putty stolen. Nice hike Joe!

How is the road to Sandy Ford? I haven't been in there in years.

Good conversation. OMG! I can't believe you stacked those three rocks on that log! How dare you😂 I can see the problem with cairns if everyone builds their own on the trails and it causes people to get lost or confused. I think they need to be strategic. I was helped by a cairn when hiking years ago in Australia. The trail was hard to see and then I spotted the cairn someone had placed and did some investigation and saw that it indeed was the trail I was supposed to take. If i were to bet, I would think the cairn was placed by a fellow hiker on the trail and was not placed by parks workers. I was grateful for that cairn that day. I think fire rings, in areas that are frequently camped, are a good thing. Let's just have one that everyone uses rather than people creating their own all the time. It stops people from moving rocks all the time to make them in those areas. It lessens the disturbance to the environment. Just don't leave garbage or any other garbage in the fire ring when you leave. Lets drop the illusion that we're the first person there. Now if you are in the backcountry and somewhere remote, then I can see removing the ring and burying the left over coals so it looks like no one was ever there. I think instead of castigating someone for something they did on the trail, why not chat to them about it and explain why you think another way may be better. Too many people hide behind keyboards and throw insults instead.

Nice Jeep you have! You like a really great trail! It's nice to hear the creek flowing as you go. I enjoyed this one😁

Hey Uncle Joe. Have you ran into any snakes on the trail this summer?

Nice video, Joe. Yeah, it's combination of heat and humidity has been... difficult. If Gobi needs a bath, crossing Warwoman creek on Earl's Ford road a mile or so north of this hike is a popular Jeep route. This time of year the Bartram trail is really overgrown. I do like it though as it indicates fewer travelers.

Looks like great campsites along the trail. Another great video my friend! Have an awesome weekend.

campspot looked like a great place to hang a hammock and relax for a while.

I think most of those dead and dying evergreens are hemlocks. They've been all but wiped out all along to Chattooga and the slopes above it. You have to really be careful these days where you pitch your tent in there. Don't want to get killt by falling limbs and tree trunks.

Such a lovely work, another gorgeous and so atmospheric trail. Forest looks so enchanting!

Nice footage!

I saw you and Gobi headed north through Rabun County as I was heading back from Maggie Valley yesterday. I said to myself, I wonder where Uncle Joe is headed? 😂

@8:19 I was petrified. lol. I am trying to overcome my fear of bears....slowly. lol. So glad all is well, and you got to witness that. Safe travels. ☺

I've had a few bear encounters over the years but was never able to get any of them on film. Nice waterfalls! Nicely done Joe!

Glad you finally got to see a bear. 🤘

the importance is to remain calm which is what you did! I had a bear encounter in the middle of the night in the Green Swamp in Florida. I crawled out of my tent and threw some tinder to fuel the mellow fire at 2 am and I started banging on the fire ring while it circled me in the saw palmettos it growled and clicked it's jaws but eventually it left when I started singing Led Zeppelin's Immigrant song..true story ...ever since I am always bear aware carry my bear spray with me all the time now...the secret to surviving is not show fear if you show fear the animals look at it as weakness...always remember we are at the top of the food chain.

Did you try to hug the bear and give it honey?

The older I get (56), the more I realize the importance of hydration as well as electrolytes. I drank 2.5 liters on a 11 mile mountain run/hike last weekend (Rabun Bald/Bartram Trail) and ran out 8 miles in. Had to use some of my buddy's supply. Not to be preachy, but please don't underestimate our need for hydration!

Hmm, the fact that the bear knew your name tells me your subscriber and view numbers are deceivingly low. 🤪 Glad your encounter was benign, I'm hoping for a similar one up there.

This looks really great man, absolutely gorgeous natural beauty and it's good that the bear didn't see you as a meal! 🥘 😂

Looks like a young bear.

Boy that one small area sure did take a licking. Pretty decent views,very nice loop Joe!

Wow! The woods were so peaceful.

Another lovely hike man, such a enchanting and wonderful forest! Love it

I'm planning to thru hike the Florida, Pinhoti, and Benton Mackaye sometime in the next 5 years

Hey Uncle Joe, better watch out for them ole moonshiners up in them there mountains. 😂

Your video as usual was outstanding. It came out at a great time too. I always look forward to your videos but this one was special. I fell 20 odd feet this past Thursday and my hiking for this year is pretty much done as I broke my leg and back. You have become my eyes on the trail now so hope you have more coming soon.

Lovely video man, such a enchanting forest scenery!

beautiful place to hike!

That was a dang good looking loop Joe! Thanks for the shout-out my friend!

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍2

I believe them pesky elves are messing with us. One of these days they're gonna show themselves to one of us! Awesome hike my friend!

Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. 👍4

when you heard the music, I was thinking to myself "I hope it's not a banjo" :) Great video.

Great trail Uncle Joe! I’ve hiked and camped it many times. It’s fairly easy hiking to the falls with a gradual down hill. It kicked my butt coming back. HA!

Absolutely gorgeous work, soothing and simply enjoyable work man!

Hi! How much time it takes you to reach Bly gap and came back to the Blue Ridge Gap point? Just as a reference :) I'm planning to do it by August. Thanks!

Nice loop hike. Really green out there. Definitely stay out of Alabama 😂😂

Sorry. Not going down any trail called Terminus.

Well,I'm glad you got some nice hiking weather we're still getting rain here. Man that was a big ole pile of Millipede scat! LOL! Nice hike Joe.

Did you say EARLY!?

This was absolutely amazing my friend! Trail looks so exotic 👏👏

Really love your channel. Keep going. Never change

One small step for uncle Joe One holy step for small mans
