2023 Texas Backpackers YouTube Meetup

Published 2023-11-15
This is the day 2, the backpacking portion, of the 3rd Annual Texas Backpackers YouTube Meetup. This year's meetup was at Davis Mountains State Park near Fort Davis, TX. I was unable to make Day 1 of the meetup, so this video starts the beginning of Day 2.

Below are all the channels represented at the meetup. Be sure and subscribe to their channels if you are not already. We have some great folks sharing their backpacking adventures around Texas and beyond.

If you are interested in joining our group next year, be sure and let us know. We usually release details about the trip several months ahead of Veterans Day Weekend. If you are a Texas (or pretty close) based backpacking channel, we'd love to have you.

    Thank you for inspiring my daughter and I to do this hike last month, was a great park,albeit cold at night in March!
  • Great video Cameron. I really like the field of view you did your video in. My Sony made everything look so far away. I really enjoyed watching "AND really enjoyed being there with everyone". I can't wait for the next one. Don't forget I owe you breakfast ✌

    Great video Cameron! It was nice sharing the trail with you, amigo. I appreciate you for starting this tradition & happy to participate. Looking forward to the next one! 😀👍

    This is a great hike! Done it several times. Overlooks Prude Ranch early on....great summer camp for kiddos. Ya'll need to do Casa Grande in BBNP!! A bit of a scramble but well worth it.

    We missed you on day 1, but I’m glad you made it out on day 2. You’re a true dedicated TX backpacker! I agree that the group has an amazing core that has formed, it’s still a little unreal to me how YouTube has allowed us all to connect in the outdoors. It was great to see another video from you, I particularly enjoyed the ending slideshow and the shot of all the cottonwood leaves on the ground. Next year I’ll make it a point to not bring up the rear…..who am I kidding, you know I’ll be back there haha!

    What?! I missed this?! I went to Colorado Bend State Park this past weekend, and just got back. I totally would have changed plans to hang with y'all! Put me on the list for next year.
  • @tangenttrails
    Excellent, Cameron! I had to chuckle again at your cholla improv on the Tarptent. It’s a classic.✌️
  • @OneMansOdyssey
    Love the footage. Wish I could have been there. I'm hoping to have healed up enough to hit the Texas EPIC peaks all in one grand weekend come spring. The Davis Mountains look amazing, especially with that low fog.
  • @Patriot-American
    I've been near there in the past when my kids were young, now they're adults. Hope to get to the area you are showing and hopefully it is not too much of an incline. Thanks for sharing this with us ...
  • @ronafitzy
    Can you share the trail map? And which campsite you used?
