Really beautiful hike the weather does look beautiful even with a low in the 30s it looked fantastic. The process of watching you filtering water is great to share and sharing stories of what did and didn't go well so others can learn. Wow a night in the 20s your brave. Great shout out to the vets and your daughter we appreciate all she does! Nice hike hope you got some sleep.
@justramblinaround there is no bad weather, just unprepared people. Filtering water beats bringing all the water you need for the three das. It's about 2 lb per litter. My office celebrates Veterans Day so I usually make a long weekend out of it and go backpacking. Take care.
Day 2 looks like it went much better. Liked how you covered the gear you were using to keep warm. That lemon squeezer section of rocks was cool looking.
The Lemon Squeezer was a surprise to me. It was a nice feature to explore. I did a video last year on cold weather sleeping. It can be intimidating if you don’t know what gear you need to stay warm at night.
Interesting to see AT from that end. I've done all of Georgia and North Carolina and hopefully get to hike in Connecticut in some day too, views are amazing all away. AT is great wherever you are.
One day I plan to hike the whole trail from Georgia to Maine. For now I just keep doing section hikes. I have hiked parts of it in Shenandoah National Park, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire.
@@OutdoorsWithJohnUSA Went well! However, I realized while taking a break at the shelter that I wouldn't have enough daylight to get to Sharon Mountain campsite. Ended up tenting at the shelter, but it made for a longer hike to route 7 the next day.
