Every year a handful of people young and old from anywhere in the world strike out to thru hike the entire 2,182 mile Appalachian Trail. This documentary takes account of their story, and opinions nearly halfway through their journey. It poses thought provoking questions, and uncovers just a little bit about what it is like to be an Appalachian Trail Thru Hiker.
The film is still in production, and since it is my first film I have no idea where it will go, but it is one of many projects that I have wanted to do for a long time in relation to the Appalachian Trail.

PS: I love how this trailer was flawless in it's auditory execution!

@carolinew9533 11 лет назад

I am 16 and I have completed the hundred mile on the AT and I have climbed Katahdin 3 times, the first time when I was ten. I am very excited for this documentary and I loved the time I spent on the trail and the extremely interesting people I met.

Nicely shot....I look forward to seeing the complete film. Your skills as a film maker always amaze me.

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

I'm impressed as hell. A couple of the interviews were in wind that was troublesome. I had resigned to the fact that it would show up in post and for better or worse listeners would have to deal with it. Not the case, in fact your Redhead worked flawless. That thing loves a stiff breeze.

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

No kidding! I've been following his videos, they're great! ...oh and thank you.

@saltymarine 11 лет назад

This hiking trailer is awesome. I want to be in it. I hope to see you on the trail, sometime. Really looking forward to seeing the finished film. Continued blessings to you.

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

Yes, over pizza that's right! Yea, it was just an idea at that point, nothing was on paper. I have really been surprised. The "Thru Hikers" I am able to intercept on the AT have all said yes to interviews. 26 so far. I lure them with food. Cold beer, soda, cream cheese, bagels... Thanks CB. I appreciate that.

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

As Forest Gump once said; "I've worn lots of shoes". A metaphor for relating to a number of situations. I just happen to be able to relate to "theirs". For which I am obliged.

@anna12910 11 лет назад

subscribed - can't wait to see it! I'd love to do a thruhike one of these days!

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

Thank you. I was a bit surprised that it went so smooth. I interviewed 16 hikers, but made some mistakes. I didn't hit record on the H4n with one interview. I also seemed to have lost two interviews to a CF card (Transcend 32GB 400x) that is giving me an "ERR 70" on my camera. Do you recommend using the SDHC cards? SanDisk? Maybe 8GB? I got home last night and waiting for me was a box from KEH. Upon inspection the lens looks to be in nice shape. It has a loose slide, but not super loose.

Interesting prospective Mate!! How many times have you made that Trek!!☺

@carolinew9533 11 лет назад

You are definitely missing something and it is sad that you came to that conclusion so quickly. People discover there true selves on the trial and it is an amazing experience... no matter who you are.

@GrahamRiverRC 12 лет назад

Kookiemoose - was this what we talked about over pizza in Baltimore? Awesome, Fantastic, Truly people on a quest - NOBODY can tell the story like the one that's lived each chapter already! You need anything - I'm in! CB

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

Exactly! thank you.

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

Ha! I'll be laughing about this tomorrow when I'm up on a roof repairing a hole made by a tree, working in 100 degree temps. ; )

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

Day one of shooting tally; 5 cases of soda, 3 cases of beer, 1 half gallon of Bourbon, 6 lbs of cookies, 1/2 gallon of salsa, 4lbs of chips, 1 jar of Nutella, 1 gallon of juice, 1 gallon of Gatoraid, 3lbs of cream cheese, 35 feet of Tyvek, 30 Bagels, and 1 2lb block of cheese. Good grief those hikers could eat.

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

thank you!

@AdventureAwaits83 12 лет назад

This is great stuff! are you going to release the completed film on You Tube? if not how will you? Look forward to seeing more from this incredible insight into the trail and thru hikers :-)

@THREEFLOORSDOWN1 11 лет назад

i leave in 1 day...ready for this adventure for round 2...Spinger bound

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

Thank you. Not sure really, I guess so. I'm just sort of winging it.

@kookiemoose 11 лет назад

Thank you my friend. I had fun last summer feeding thru hikers in SNP on several occasions. Then I would ask for an interview. Not one of them said no. I got about 60 interviews, they got their bellies filled with delicious food. You probably knew some of them. I wish you had been one of them. You project a great enthusiasm for the trail. The head shots of ALL of them can be found in a 2012 thru hikers album I have on FB. Oh, and yea I've been using Premiere cs5 for a couple years.

I recommend throwing away anything with "Transcend" written on it. They are junk, and for four years I've been dealing with kids who get every kind of failure with Transcend cards -- they blame their camera -- and insist there's no difference between cheap cards and quality cards. On the other hand is me -- I've only bought Sandisk pro cards -- and in four years I've never had a single card error of any kind in any way. Not one single card error. Not one. CF vs. SDHC isn't the issue.

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

Well you've just informed me of things that up until now I was unaware of, and never really took into consideration. I will admit that I have bought cards for their price point, and for the 7D that was never a problem. And if a SanDisk Pro can keep up with the GH2 then it should be a breeze with the 5D mk iii. Thank you sir.

@kookiemoose 11 лет назад

The film is still in production. and will be for sometime as I am doing everything myself. The good news is that you won't have to buy it. It was always my intention to make this film free to the public. The film will be posted to this channel when it is complete.

@drewnetwork 12 лет назад

And -- an old Transcend compact flash card wasn't designed to handle ALL-I at 91 Mbps. For ALL-I you want either Sandisk or Lexar cards that significantly exceeds the minimum requirements -- because most cards don't perform as well as they're rated.

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

Me, I've covered every inch of the trail 7 times. Some sections even more than that. It's just a good place for the soul. I mean I had a cooler of soda, bagels and cream cheese for the hikers. They were about in tears when they saw it.

@kookiemoose 11 лет назад

I recall he had been hiking in his Crocks for a couple hundred miles when we met. As a "sandal" hiker myself I have to say he seemed very comfortable in those Crocks. I wonder how long he kept it up?

@kookiemoose 11 лет назад

I thru hiked with Chacos for awhile, until the snow got too deep. Switched over to keen sandals and never really looked back. About the same sandal anyway, give or take.

@drewnetwork 12 лет назад

Heads exploded in the DREWnetwork accounting office. They suggest "Sam's Club" soda along with "Sam's Club" chips along with "Sam's Club" salsa for the next shoot.

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

Thank you. The very top apexing hairs of your Redhead can be seen in most of the interview shots. Just thought you'd get a kick out of knowing that.

@Pawoodsman 12 лет назад

10 stars plus that was awesome buddy . I am so glad to see in production on end will be looking forward and starving for more.

@CaptJohnsBar 12 лет назад

The trail has a voice......

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

@jobrewerful Thanks for the info. I'll be shooting in the Big Meadows area of SNP (Shenandoah National Park) on June 16-17.

@AccidentalBroadcast 12 лет назад

; ) Redheads love to hike!

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

Sam's Club, yes that sounds fine. Going to Sam's Club will save me a trip to the Blue Seal feed store.

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

@jobrewerful I would like that. I'm up in SNP this morning in fact. He's still south of here though.

@DeAndradeUF 11 лет назад

Dude....I can't decide whether you capture humans or nature in a better light. Either way you do a phenomenal job at allowing stories to unfold. You're definitely a natural with the camera. Are you editing in Premiere, FCP or Avid?

@kookiemoose 11 лет назад

Your missing something alright. It's just too bad that you'll never really figure out what it is.

@kookiemoose 11 лет назад

There's a link to the song (Years) in the description box below the video player. Free download

@XQzix 12 лет назад

Looks like a fascinating look into the subjective impressions of those who are familiar with the Appalachian Trail and the thru-hikers who journey through it. Can't wait for the finished product!

@kookiemoose 12 лет назад

The good news is that the track will not be in the film. The answer to your question is; yes.

@noelanifox3240 11 лет назад

If this is the Tickle Monster who became Hug Bug, he was wearing his crocs until they gave him big foot trouble in PA, then he got boots. I'm a fan of Chacos myself; my sons and I hiked over 1000 miles on a single pair :)

@AccidentalBroadcast 12 лет назад

Very nice!

@drewnetwork 12 лет назад

Really great job on this trailer. This project looks exciting!
