Top 10 Hiking with Shawn Shorts by Views

By Hiking with Shawn Shorts, I don’t mean short pants. I mean short videos called “Shorts,” a feature released on YouTube a few years ago to compete with Instagram and TikTok.

I started using YouTube Shorts to fill in the days I didn’t upload a long video. I upload longer Hiking with Shawn Videos every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I upload Hiking with Shawn Shorts on all the other days.

My YouTube Channel has a video every day thanks to the Shorts feature. If you haven’t subscribed to my channel yet, please consider doing it today!

The following is a list the 10 most viewed Hiking with Shawn Shorts on YouTube. I hope you enjoy it!

The Top 10 Hiking with Shawn Shorts on YouTube by Most Views.

1 – Itty Bitty Snake

This video features one of my many snake encounters. The snake featured in this video is so small that it can barely hurt a fly. Can you guess what snake it is? Comment below with your guess.

2 – Timber Rattlesnake

In this video, I got really good footage of a Timber Rattlesnake. In 2022, I saw quite a few rattlesnakes in southern Illinois. But I don’t get to see that many every year.

3 – Tower Rock

In this video, I feature Tower Rock when it was low enough to get close to but before it got so busy that trains collided with parked cars. Did you get a chance to visit?

4 – LBL Silo

I feature “The Silo” at Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Kentucky in this Hiking with Shawn Shorts video. This used to be a scenic overlook at one time.

5 – Camo Cottonmouth

The majority of these most vied Hiking with Shawn Shorts are but, of course, at Snake Road. In this video, I feature a cottonmouth crossing the road covered in duckweed.

6 – Rattlesnake Rattling

There is a funny story to this encounter. Funny for me, maybe not so funny for my guided hiking client. But it was a great experience to show a rattlesnake rattling.

7 – Axing Down a Tree

I took apprentice crosscut sawyer certification with the US Forest Service. One person was getting recertified with their axe. I got the tree falling in the video.

8 – Tower Rock

This was my other Tower Rock Hiking with Shawn Shorts video. It got more views than the other one because it was fairly popular then. CNN did a story on it.

9 – Spring House

This is a reconstructed Spring House at the Menard Home in Chester, Illinois. I’m shocked that it got as many views as it did. The rest of the home was undergoing construction.

10 – Most Viewed Hiking with Shawn Shorts Video: Snake Swimming at Me

I must admit I used some “click bait” in this experiment. But in reality, the snake (a cottonmouth) was swimming towards me and did exit the swamp in my direction.
