Tilt - a sloping position or movement. Hiking - the activity of going for long walks, especially in the country or woods. Bushwhacking - the activity of living or traveling in wild or uncultivated country.
I have been hiking with the GNHA for several years. Within those years I have been introduced to true "bushwhacking" hikes by several wonderful hike leaders. "Bushwhacking" hikes tend to be outside of the parameters of hikes with the GNHA because a large portion, if not all, of the hike is "off trail." When there's no trail it is highly likely (100%) there will be brush, bushes, trees, briars, a lot of briars, steep ascents and descents, boulders, rocks, roots, dirt, vines, poison ivy, thick slippery leaves, water, a lot of water, mud, thick mud, a lot of mud, ticks, snakes, bugs, critters, cliffs, steep cliffs, and a whole lot more. It seems I always leave a bit of myself (blood) in the woods in these type of hikes. The whole purpose of bushwhacking is to get to that place of beauty or that majestic view that is not typically seen in a hike.
Over the last several years or so I've spent a lot of time in the Green River Game Lands. There is a large waterfall, Big Bradley Falls, that is weird and I've got to say the falls appear to be tilted. There is currently no easy way to get to these falls. You have to do a lot of bushwhacking, to get to the bottom of the falls. The hike, or the bushwhacking, is slightly dangerous. In my mind one has to be "slightly tilted" to attempt to get to the bottom of the falls. And this may be a reach, but if you are leading or perhaps participating in a bushwhacking hike, for fun, you may also be tilted.
Over the past year or so I've collected and compiled video footage of bushwhacking hikes. Most of the footage in the video below consists of waterfalls, gorges, streams that are simply harder to get to. Everything is pretty much off the beaten path.
The sound track of the video is titled "Tilt," composed and written by Hannah Parrott. Music is everything and this piece offers a bit of a different perspective to what could be considered your typical nature video.
And oh, in the Green River Game Lands there's this area called The Narrows. It's a bit of a challenge to get to as well. There is some footage of several kayakers doing "crazy" through The Narrows.
I hope you enjoy "Tilt."
Toward the end of Tilt you will find some raw footage of fellow “bushwhackers and rock hoppers” hiking with me on the Little Cove trail (creek, mountain stream). Some of the footage from the video Tilt was acquired during this hike.
P.S.: a bit more clarification about bushwhacking. We, the hikers, are generally not whacking the bushes (trees, etc.) using machetes, etc. It is the bushes, trees, limbs or whatever that is whacking us hikers.
I used the Panasonic Gh5, Gh4, and the DJI Mavic Pro to record footage as seen below.
