Who are Kara and Nate?!
Watch our documentary here: • 100th COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY
Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married 2013 and were super “normal.” I was a teacher and Nate started a small printing business from the spare bedroom of our apartment. We discovered the world of “travel hacking” & became obsessed. So after 2 years of obsessively saving $35k and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016 for a “one year” trip around the world. Our goal was to see as many places as possible before we ran out of money and went home to “normal life.” We started this travel vlog to share our experiences with friends and family, but quickly fell in love with this lifestyle and did everything we could to keep going. 4 years later, we achieved our new goal of visiting 100 countries and all 7 continents. We had no plans to slow down, until 2020 forced us to ;) Which is when we bought a converted van to start exploring our own country for the first time. Van life was a major adjustment and so different than flying every week like we were used to, but we are incredibly thankful to be able to continue doing something we love every day. 😊🎥🌎

You guys are amazing. you bring so much light and warmth in my life. (can't be helped, usually indoors coding) I am watching all your videos like a series from the time you got the van, they calm me down. I can work for hours (software and web dev) without burning out. There is so much good in this world. Not only are you showing it to us, you are part of it as well, and for that I am eternally grateful. remember to stay safe.

I'm sure you'll never read this far down, but I have something to say. I started watching your videos at the start of the pandemic. At the same time, I started watching hiking vlogs of people hiking the three longest National Scenic Trails (AT, PCT, CDT). Even though most of the virus craziness is gone, I still watch you....and the hikers. I even suggested you guys hike the AT when you solicited ideas from your viewers months ago. This collision of worlds is blowing my mind. Thank you to you and all the hikers that pulled together to keep me sane for two years. Oh, and this year alone, I've traveled to europe, and last month I did my first solo backpacking trip.

You guys brought up two important points about backpacking: 1) it makes you grateful for garbage pickup, flushable toilets, showers, and water faucets; and 2) it is nice to work for your scenery -- a hard hike usually brings great rewards (beauty, solitutude, etc). I loved this video! It's nice when you guys get back to the basics and just simply exist.

It was an amazing read but your videos are better still. At least you know one section of the trail so if you do it again you will know what to bring and what you can leave behind...or have a support car meet you at certain areas to change batteries or SD cards/cameras.

I know this trip must be long over, but, if you ever do this again, it is possible to set up a small tent inside some lean-tos. It also keeps you warmer than either the tent or lean-to alone. Also: One of those emergency blanket things that weigh like one oz. are a great addition to your backpack. It can be used instead of a tarp under your pads. Also: Nate definitely knew who had the smelly feet-he was too much of a gentleman to say! (could tell by the look on his face as you turn away.) Happy Trails!

Hi Kara and Nate, I'd love to learn more the travel gear that you used, like the portable stove and water filter. Please consider providing links in your part two video.

I've been working a seasonal job in a national park since June and I'm loving it. Being out in the wilderness is such a nice break from normal life and it was incredible to have a job that allowed me to drive around a beautiful park all day and go on some awesome adventures on the weekend. So glad you guys got to enjoy some time out in the woods!

Wow, this was incredible. This is why I watch your videos! I’m disabled and will probably never hike again. Being able to see these views (not thru a picture) is amazing. Last time I hiked was in 2019. Thanks for all the great videos! definitely living through you guys ❤

Because of you two specifically, I've been hiking more than I ever have! Thing is, now I have a near 2 year old daughter and next summer I plan on going on a big trip with her. Thanks for motivating me!

Stunning nature videography in this - VERY IMPRESSED with your ability to identify a good camera shot and get the sound and background to cooperate. You must have hours of video to get those shots. Impressive, I mean National Geographic quality shots!

We are about to embark on a month long cycle ride, as a couple, and this resonates so much. We are looking forward to sharing some intentional time together and also re-adjusting our gratitude bar ❤ Also thank you for introducing me to peanut butter choc chip wraps. I have a feeling they’re going to be an essential part of our ride menu 😂

Don't worry Kara, the only places I've camped were VERY commercialized, so I had no idea chapstick could attract bears! 🤣 I wouldn't survive just because idk what all the bears are attracted to

The answer is literally anything with scent. Toothpaste, deodorant, chapstick, bug spray, sunscreen. The only thing in your tent should be you and a sleeping bag.

1. Put water into the jetboil before lighting. 2. Repackage food to get rid of the bulky store packaging. It helps cut on weight, cuts down on trash, and if you use ziplocs you can repurpose for trash or dirty clothes once you’ve eaten the food. 3. Hiking poles add weight but are super helpful for crossings over water. It’s like having four feet.

We were eating ham and cheese sandwiches in those mountains when I was a kid. A big old bear and her two cubs came by and wanted some. My dad had us all run to our wood grained station wagon and watch the bears as they ate everything he couldn’t gather quickly enough. Best memory ever! The momma bear even picked up our Coleman water jug and drank out of it until all the water was gone, then she easily tossed it about 20 feet. 🤣🤣🤣 It was 1987 or 1998, but it’s one of my first and favorite memories!!!
