Backpacking, camping, hiking, and all things related.
I generally favor "lightweight" backpacking, meaning that my focus is more on mileage than being comfortable in camp. I've thru-hiked the Benton MacKaye Trail, the Sheltowee Trace in Kentucky, the Appalachian Trail, the Colorado Trail, the Foothills Trail, the Georgia Loop, and the Bartram Trail.
Wow, I'm 11 mins in. So far enjoying all the information you're sharing as you go from the trails, shelter to shelter.. I got to share I started watching before you a different AT thru hiker. Its was how he feels about life and etc. after 15 mins. it wasn't my cup of tea. U know. . Then Yay i found your AT vid. Thank you for sharing your hike and knowledge as your going.🙌💪🕊️
We need someone to do this on carnivore, for science. We have done keto since we read Taubes' book in 2009. The year before last, my husband started doing carnivore, and talked me into it last year. We won't be going back to eating how we were. We feel even better than we were already feeling. I see the absolute junk food these hikers eat, they're likely to wind up as big as a house when they get home and aren't expending all that energy. Not to mention all the poisonous seed oils they are consuming are likely to wreck their metabolism even more.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I am thinking of doing a small section in Rangeley ME when I am up there this summer from The cross over at bemis rd up to the look over The height of the land. It overlooks Mooselookmeguntic lake. But just not sure if it will be a okay section to also travel with my 9yr old. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hello I watched all of your AT hike a few years back. I have a question. My youngest son is hiking the AT this year, and me and my oldest son plan to meet him in Lincoln to hike a couple days north with him. I never been there or much any where for that matter, so I was hoping you could give me your suggestion on the best way to go about doing that? I really don’t know where to stay or what options there are.
Just followed your AT thru hike on RU-vid!!! Great job and congrats on completing your AT adventure!!! It brought so many memories back of our hike in 1997. No cell phones, equipment so different. Just comjng out with camel back water systems. Our trail names were Pixie, earthsurfer aka ES, flash, Aunt Marti aka snack lady. We were given our group name Swiss family by Lewis and Clark. Aunt Marti and Pixie completed together and first mother/daughter to complete a thru hike. Due to circumstances ES had a portion to finish from Connecticut to PA and completed in Nov. All summited Katahdin together in Oct. What an adventure!!!🥾🥾🥾🥾
So happy your making hiking videos too! Love your videos & Liz's videos too❣️ Y'all's hiking friendship is great because I worry bout people hiking alone those videos give me anxiety 😂
Heading out to do some trail magic with some 2020’ers over Memorial Day weekend… Wanna come join? Southern Shennies/waynesboro area.. day hike, hot dogs, blackberry berlinnerweisse! You’ll love it!
My daughter, Jillian Buckets, was on trail with you, she only made the 1/4 way mark. I am thankful for your video. Seeing the orange tag and the 1/4 way sign meant the world to me.... for more reasons than you can know. Thankful to see the paths she crossed..... wish she could have made it to "K". Her tramily "Scatter" and "Valc" carried her bucket to Katadin ❤ so glad I stumbled upon your video.
I'm planning on doing the same thing when I through hike the Colorado Trail next year. What map should I use to find your campsite just below treeline?
So amazing. This is inspiring. Thank you. I've started to do quite some trailrunning on the New York part of the AT - what would you advice when encountering a beer. Stay in place and make noise or slowly back off while making noise? Greetings from a Dutchman.
Thanks for the videos and allowing us to follow along! we are mentally and physically prepping for a thru hike this year, we just got off the AT in October and are itching to get back to trail. Hope to see ya out on the PCT in 25! im sure all the soreness has worn off already ....
I just watched this again after 3 years or so, and it made me smile just as much. I am retired now, and still hiking. NEVER GIVE IN! Thanks again for the inspiration.
I appreciate that you have studied and researched the Colorado Trail and know the names of the passes, lakes, trailheads and know the mountain ranges that you are walking through. Regarding crossing high passes in the afternoon-not all clouds indicate lightning. But, I do remember Homemade Wanderlust hiking the CDT and being in completely exposed areas with lightning all around. Great message to us older hikers! I was astounded that I completed the CT with all my foot problems and intolerance of heat, and yet, I didn't ever really doubt that I could do it. And happy birthday!
My disappointment in the Foothills Trail stems from the unavailability of decent camping spots. The available sites are so small that you better be ready to hear everybody else around you snore all night. Just like staying in an AT shelter.
Just found your channel AGAIN. Watched all your AT trip then Liz's. And a bunch of other videos from both you guys. Looks like I'm doing a marathon watch again!
Good job. Hiking the AT has always been on my bucket list. I just never had the time or money at the same time. I'm 68 now and its still on my list. Who knows. But thanks agian for showing me what I'm missing.❤
Thank you so much for letting me accompany you virtually the length of this entire trek. I really enjoyed this feel-good video. GOD bless all of you wonderful people. Much love from Chicago.
