What started as away to document my adventures with my children, has turned into a YouTube channel all about backpacking essentials, backpacking and hiking gear, kayaking, a little bit of cycling, and a lot of getting to point A to point B on any trail in the woods, road, or on the water.
If you are looking for gear review on backpacking products, I have many product and gear reviews on my "Cottage Gear Companies" that sell backpacking essentials and ultralight backpacking playlist on As The Crow Flies Hiking on YouTube.
One of the adventures I would like to feature is the Alabama Triple Crown. Alabama has several trails for backpacking and hiking. I put three of those trails togeher to create the Alabama Triple Crown of hiking.
I started As The Crow Flies Hiking in 2019 as a way to document my adventures on backpacking trips with my children. As a generation Xer, I had lost touch with technology. So, the learning curve for video of my backpacking trips was a bit daunting to me. I started with an Iphone 7 and very little understanding of how to film audio or video.
A few years later, I am still learning to figure out technology and the integral details of the art. I guess my passion for the outdoors can be incapsulated in the original song "Take Me to The Mountains." It is obvious I am no musician, but my love of music has a connection to the Mountains, Rivers, and Road. I decided when I started this venture that I wanted to use my acoustic guitar as the base of all music in my videos.
Though it is not perfect, I think it fits the rest of my content...raw, honest, and a bit juvenile. I think I a essentially a little kid in an old man body, still trying to play in the woods behind my Northwest Alabama home.
Along my journey of backpacking, I have been able to come across some wonderful people. I wanted to take the time to interview as many of them as I could along the way. Check out the playlist on As The Crow Flies Hiking on YouTube of "Old Crow Hiking Show"
