This is a relatively short nature documentary featuring some wilderness areas in the Balkans (i.e. southeast Europe). Both “regular” and more “exotic” animals are shown. We get to meet pelicans in the Danube delta, cormorants at Skadar Lake, wild boars trying to stay clear of land mines in Croatia, a displaced flock of rosy starlings from Asia, the rare European mink, and ravens mobbing large vultures and wolves. A few human inhabitants of the various regions have also been included, perhaps for local color. I'm not sure if “Wild Balkans” gives a true account of these regions, or if it’s a romanticized one – the DVD is promoted by references to LOTR. The show is rather slow-paced, but the quality of the footage is incredibly good. In the end I give it three stars, but perhaps it deserves more…
This is one of the greatest nature dvd's I have seen. The scenery is spectacular. And the wild life is both amazing and entertaining.

A tenth of the world's wilderness has vanished in the past two decades, research shows.
New maps show "alarming losses" of pristine landscapes, particularly in South America and Africa, according to World Conservation Society scientists.
They argue in Current Biology that wild areas are ignored in international conservation agreements, despite their ecological and cultural value.
About 20% of the world's land area is classed as wilderness.
By this, scientists mean landscapes free of large-scale human disturbances such as housing, development and industry.
The majority of these untouched spaces are found in North America, north Asia, north Africa and Australia.
They are often home to indigenous peoples as well as endangered plants and animals.

Cummins Creek Wilderness is a 9,300-acre wilderness area in the Siuslaw National Forest along the Oregon Coast. It is one of three wilderness areas created in the Siuslaw in 1984, along with Rock Creek and Drift Creek. The Cummins Creek Wilderness features the only old growth Sitka spruce forest in the Oregon Wilderness system. Some of these trees have a diameter of up to nine feet. Large old growth Douglas fir also abounds. Cummins and Bob Creeks are lined with red alder and maple, and understory vegetation consists of rhododendron, salal, sword fern, salmon berry, and elderberry. Wildlife include elk, black tail deer, and black bear. Salmon, steelhead, and cutthroat trout are in both Cummins Creek and Bob Creek.

This is an excerpt pulled from my longer video and hike in the Middle Prong Wilderness of Pisgah National Forest, NC. The first segment in the video is where the Haywood Gap Trail crosses Middle Prong West Fork Pigeon River below an unnamed 15-foot waterfall on Middle Prong.
The latter segments involve a seriously dangerous bushwhack (not depicted here) to the base of the Middle Prong Gorge. I ended up below a smaller 10-foot waterfall and above a nice cascade. I had to climb up the left side of this small falls to get to the base of Middle Prong Falls. I recently read about this in Kevin Adams' new book. It is a magnificent powerful 35-foot drop in a small, lush canyon. A waterfall that few ever get to see.
If you are looking to explore the areas in my video, this depicts those settings in reverse since I was doing a backpacking loop. The shortest path to the waterfalls involves parking on NC 215 and hiking up FSR 97 to the Haywood Gap Trail.

The US has some gorgeous designated wilderness areas. Each season brings spectacular changes in nature and a wilderness area is ideal for outdoor recreation whether it’s wildlife-spotting, climbing, hiking, canoeing or winter sports. Of course, if you just want to admire a splendiferous view or commune with nature, take a few photos or maybe find a little personal Zen, that’s ok too. Here’s where to go:

Strict nature reserve
A strict nature reserve (IUCN category Ia) or wilderness area (IUCN category Ib), is the highest category of protected area recognised by the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA), a body which is part of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). These category I areas are the most stringently protected natural landscapes.
Purpose
Strict nature reserves and wilderness areas are protected areas that are created and managed mainly for the purposes of research or for the protection of large, unspoiled areas of wilderness. Their primary purpose is the preservation of biodiversity and as essential reference areas for scientific work and environmental monitoring.

This is an excerpt pulled from my longer video and hike in the Middle Prong Wilderness of Pisgah National Forest, NC. The first segment in the video is where the Haywood Gap Trail crosses Middle Prong West Fork Pigeon River below an unnamed 15-foot waterfall on Middle Prong.
The latter segments involve a seriously dangerous bushwhack (not depicted here) to the base of the Middle Prong Gorge. I ended up below a smaller 10-foot waterfall and above a nice cascade. I had to climb up the left side of this small falls to get to the base of Middle Prong Falls. I recently read about this in Kevin Adams' new book. It is a magnificent powerful 35-foot drop in a small, lush canyon. A waterfall that few ever get to see.
If you are looking to explore the areas in my video, this depicts those settings in reverse since I was doing a backpacking loop. The shortest path to the waterfalls involves parking on NC 215 and hiking up FSR 97 to the Haywood Gap Trail.

The US has some gorgeous designated wilderness areas. Each season brings spectacular changes in nature and a wilderness area is ideal for outdoor recreation whether it’s wildlife-spotting, climbing, hiking, canoeing or winter sports. Of course, if you just want to admire a splendiferous view or commune with nature, take a few photos or maybe find a little personal Zen, that’s ok too. Here’s where to go:

Holy Cross Wilderness (Colorado) Backpacking - August 2016
In August 2016 our annual western backpacking trip took my son Christian and I, and our two labs Bailey and Jaden, to the Holy Cross Wilderness near Vail, Colorado. I've wanted to do a hike in this area since I started backpacking in 2010, but the lack of any multi-day 'true' loop hikes had always discouraged me. With a little research I found the 30-mile 4-day 'almost' loop hike that we ended up doing - the start and end trailheads (started at Half Moon Trailhead and ended at Cross Creek trailhead) were separated by 7 miles of rough forest road, but it ended up working out well. As you'll see in the video there was more 'drama' than usual on this trip.

Hiking the Wild River Wilderness - 2 Nights in the White Mountains
For this backpacking adventure, we'll be exploring the Wild River Wilderness, a remote area of New Hampshire's White Mountains for two days, covering 36 miles, countless rain storms, and a few injuries for good measure. ;) The Wild River Wilderness is located in the North Eastern corner of the White Mountain National Forest, very close to the Maine state line. Designated by congress as a federal wilderness area in 2006, this is the newest wilderness area in the WMNF. Now you may think of anything outdoors as "wilderness", but Federal Wilderness areas are designated areas of land that prohibit just about any form of man-made development. This would include motorized access, structures, facilities, and permanent shelters. Trail maintenance is allowed, but only with hand tools. Sounds...

Solo Hiking the Lye Brook Wilderness - 2 Days in Vermont's Green Mountains
Want to hike with less crowds during peak season? For this adventure, we visit the Lye Brook Wilderness in Southern Vermont's Green Mountain National Forest. This was actually a loop hike that I managed to scrap together at the last minute, due to some bad weather intervening with my plans to finally hike Virginia's Shenandoah National Park. Luckily, Vermont had 2 days of beautiful sunny weather, so into the hatchback we went, for another 2 day adventure. The Green Mountain National Forest is a 399,151 acre swath of land consisting of 8 Federal Wilderness Areas. These are areas with special protections to ensure a minimal impact from us pesky humans, including restrictions on trail maintenance. This tends to make for more rugged trails, which from my perspective, means for interesti...

In August 2016 our annual western backpacking trip took my son Christian and I, and our two labs Bailey and Jaden, to the Holy Cross Wilderness near Vail, Colorado. I've wanted to do a hike in this area since I started backpacking in 2010, but the lack of any multi-day 'true' loop hikes had always discouraged me. With a little research I found the 30-mile 4-day 'almost' loop hike that we ended up doing - the start and end trailheads (started at Half Moon Trailhead and ended at Cross Creek trailhead) were separated by 7 miles of rough forest road, but it ended up working out well.
As you'll see in the video there was more 'drama' than usual on this trip. I left my camera bags at home and had to improvise, I left the map in the car during the first-day trailhead adventures, our mapping GPS temporarily died mid-trip, we briefly got 'off trail' (a.k.a. lost!) three different times, we experienced frequent rain and hail, and Bailey had both paw and digestive issues - thankfully nothing serious. For us, the Holy Cross Wilderness lived up to it's description as the 'Bermuda Triangle' of wildernesses. But, wow, it also more than lived up to it's reputation as one of the most beautiful wilderness areas.
Similar to my other recent backpacking videos, this one is also roughly one hour in length with a 10 minute slide show at the end. It is meant to be an 'immersive' experience that allows you to come along with me on the trip. If I've done my job well you'll feel the vastness of the high plains and the length of the drive out, the stress of working through the separated trailhead situation, the thin air and steepness of the climbs to the passes, the hypothermic damp chill during a hailstorm, the strange comfort of sitting under a tarp in front of a warm fire during a thunderstorm, and the simple joy of a hot cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee in front of the fire in the morning. If you aren't interested in 'riding along on my shoulder' for an hour of video, just skip to the last 10 minutes of still pictures and you'll get a good overview of our trip.

The Wild River Wilderness is located in the North Eastern corner of the White Mountain National Forest, very close to the Maine state line. Designated by congress as a federal wilderness area in 2006, this is the newest wilderness area in the WMNF.
Now you may think of anything outdoors as "wilderness", but Federal Wilderness areas are designated areas of land that prohibit just about any form of man-made development. This would include motorized access, structures, facilities, and permanent shelters. Trail maintenance is allowed, but only with hand tools. Sounds like my kind of party for a couple days of backpacking and hiking!
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
Trip Notes:
The main trail we were targeting for this trip was the Black Angel Trail, although plans changed a little, but you'll see that in the video. According to our Backpacker Magazine trip data, parking should have been available close to the Wild River Campground (44.305209, -71.065203), but the road was closed due to storm damage, so we had to park an additional 5 miles away.
We took the Wild River Trail to the intersection with the Black Angel Trail and headed up towards Carter Dome at an elevation of 4,832 feet. An official 4000-footer, this would be our highest point for the trip. It would also be the worst weather, with fog, wind, and rain to season things nicely. After descending Carter Dome, via the rainbow trail, we linked back with our previous friend, the Wild River Trail. Our target was the Perkins Notch Shelter for a reprieve from the rain, but the lingering spirit of the Black Angel had a small surprise waiting for us. None the less, this is where we would set up camp. Mileage for Day One: 20 miles.
The next morning we broke camp and headed out again. After several miles we jettisoned the Wild River trail, which follows closely along the banks of the Wild River, in favor of the Highwater Trail. This trail would follow the river, but from the ridge above. After descending into the Moriah Gorge, we met up the Moriah Brook trail for spectacular river views and large sections of trail that had seemingly vanished. Swallowed by mudslides into the river below. Luckily the navigation was fairly simple: follow the river! Lastly, we intersected with the Shellburne Trail for one one more waist deep river crossing.

wn.com/Hiking The Wild River Wilderness 2 Nights In The White Mountains
For this backpacking adventure, we'll be exploring the Wild River Wilderness, a remote area of New Hampshire's White Mountains for two days, covering 36 miles, countless rain storms, and a few injuries for good measure. ;)
The Wild River Wilderness is located in the North Eastern corner of the White Mountain National Forest, very close to the Maine state line. Designated by congress as a federal wilderness area in 2006, this is the newest wilderness area in the WMNF.
Now you may think of anything outdoors as "wilderness", but Federal Wilderness areas are designated areas of land that prohibit just about any form of man-made development. This would include motorized access, structures, facilities, and permanent shelters. Trail maintenance is allowed, but only with hand tools. Sounds like my kind of party for a couple days of backpacking and hiking!
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
Trip Notes:
The main trail we were targeting for this trip was the Black Angel Trail, although plans changed a little, but you'll see that in the video. According to our Backpacker Magazine trip data, parking should have been available close to the Wild River Campground (44.305209, -71.065203), but the road was closed due to storm damage, so we had to park an additional 5 miles away.
We took the Wild River Trail to the intersection with the Black Angel Trail and headed up towards Carter Dome at an elevation of 4,832 feet. An official 4000-footer, this would be our highest point for the trip. It would also be the worst weather, with fog, wind, and rain to season things nicely. After descending Carter Dome, via the rainbow trail, we linked back with our previous friend, the Wild River Trail. Our target was the Perkins Notch Shelter for a reprieve from the rain, but the lingering spirit of the Black Angel had a small surprise waiting for us. None the less, this is where we would set up camp. Mileage for Day One: 20 miles.
The next morning we broke camp and headed out again. After several miles we jettisoned the Wild River trail, which follows closely along the banks of the Wild River, in favor of the Highwater Trail. This trail would follow the river, but from the ridge above. After descending into the Moriah Gorge, we met up the Moriah Brook trail for spectacular river views and large sections of trail that had seemingly vanished. Swallowed by mudslides into the river below. Luckily the navigation was fairly simple: follow the river! Lastly, we intersected with the Shellburne Trail for one one more waist deep river crossing. This would bring us back to the car just in time to begin our 9 hour trip back home. Distance for Day Two: 16 miles, Trip Total: 36 Miles
All in all, another great New England backpacking trip!

Solo Hiking the Lye Brook Wilderness - 2 Days in Vermont's Green Mountains
- Order: Reorder

Want to hike with less crowds during peak season? For this adventure, we visit the Lye Brook Wilderness in Southern Vermont's Green Mountain National Forest. This was actually a loop hike that I managed to scrap together at the last minute, due to some bad weather intervening with my plans to finally hike Virginia's Shenandoah National Park. Luckily, Vermont had 2 days of beautiful sunny weather, so into the hatchback we went, for another 2 day adventure.
The Green Mountain National Forest is a 399,151 acre swath of land consisting of 8 Federal Wilderness Areas. These are areas with special protections to ensure a minimal impact from us pesky humans, including restrictions on trail maintenance. This tends to make for more rugged trails, which from my perspective, means for interesting terrain and less foot traffic. Increasingly, I've come to rely on this areas to increase my odds of a more secluded experience during the peak summer hiking season.
Our wilderness area of choice for this hike is the Lye Brook Wilderness, a 17,841 acre outside of Manchester, in Southern Vermont. Established in 1975 as Federal Wilderness in 1975, the majority of it's land resides on a high, 2,500 foot elevation plateau and is home to black bear, moose, pine martin, bobcat, deer, and various species of birds.
I left after work around 3pm on a Wednesday afternoon and managed to get the trusty VW parked at the trailhead by 9:30pm for a decent night's sleep. My plan was to do a loop hike and return to the car on day two, after visiting a couple deep woods ponds.
I began by following an old ATV trail to the Long Trail / Appalachian Trail to the Branch Pond Trail where I passed the Douglas Shelter on my way to the 48 acre Bourne Pond. Having gotten an early start and makiing good time, I explored the Bourne Pond camp site, but decided to keep moving along the Lye Brook Trail towards Stratton Pond, Vermont's largest body of water along the Long Trail. Things were made more interesting on the way there due to the damage caused in 2009 by a Microburst, which caused significant destruction and flooding along the Lye Brook Trail. Coupled with the fact that trails may only be maintained by hand tools within Federal Wilderness Areas, repair has been slow, but at this point it's at least passable.
Eventually I made it to the North Shore Tent Site to set up camp before heading up to the summit of Stratton Mountain with a lighter load. This is a fairly popular camp site with direct access from the adjacent Long Trail / Appalachian Trail, but luckily I was the first to arrive and grab a sweet spot by the pond. This was would be my first experience sharing an established tent site like this, but even I have to be social sometimes, .. I guess.
After setting up a decent bivouac site and cooking up some lunch, I headed South along the Long Trail towards the fire tower at Southern Vermont's highest peak, Stratton Mountain. At an elevation of 3,936 feet, the fire tower affords excellent views covering four states: the Green Mountains to the North, the White Mountains to the Northeast, the Berkshires to the South, and the Adirondacks to the West. Total Mileage for Day 1: 18 miles
After a good nights sleep, I headed back towards the car on day two along the more traveled Long Trail through another section of the Lye Brook Wilderness. Total Mileage for day two was a modest 8 miles, which I covered a little faster than expected due to the more well maintained trail conditions. Total trip mileage was 26 miles. Trip time start to finish, 29.5 hours. Again, a bit faster than I wanted, but it did leave me with extra time to explore Vermont my car looking for that perfect cheeseburger....
