Kelly, a good defense against poison ivy (which releases its oil on your skin)is Dawn dish detergent. That’s what was used to clean the oil off the birds caught in oil spills. Coat the detergent on the area and scrub throughly and then repeat. Since Dawn can remove thick crude oil from the feathers of a bird, it definitely works for poison ivy. Hope you have no contact.

I have followed a few people on this trail, but was late fall or early spring. Never seen it so green. Good luck and thanks for sharing👍👍

Hey Kelly , Love your series of Hikes . I do the same thing. I dehydrate pinto beans and add dehydrated chicken , pork or ground bison. Then add white chili seasoning. Its so good. You can also do it with taco seasoning or regular chili seasoning one pointer on dehydrating meat . Cook in pressure cooker first then dehydrate. So Your meat won't be hard and chewy. I love fixing my own meals. Saves money and enables you to Hike More without stocking up on junk food all the time. Love your videos .

Cumberland trail next? Connects to the Pinhote and one day will be an alternate route for the southern AT. Right now its incomplete so just a bunch of broken sections. Part of the Great Eastern trail plan.

@jerrybailey634 Год назад

Thanks for doing the Pihoti. I have hiked some of the trail but have plans on doing the rest. Hope you enjoyed it.

@kennybarrett6111 Год назад

Heck yeah I’ll have a train track crossing and a old general store in Alabama! I’ll virtually be in a ole brother where art thou movie!RUNOFT on the trail of life! What what🥰👊🏼

@kennybarrett6111 Год назад

Kelly, well...the secret is out ! You've outed how awesome Flagg Mountain & the Southern Terminus of the Pinhoti Trail is in the Spring. Great video...enjoyed it. Looking forward to watching the next episodes. JBEN

@eeyore1197 Год назад

I'm really looking forward to this series. I've had my eye on the Pinhoti for a while. Can't wait to see it from your POV.

@joesmith98765 Год назад

Glad to see you back on trail , i missed why you picked it

@LordQuiche Год назад

Excellent! Following along…. ✨🦎✨

@diamondbackking4141 Год назад

Ouch on the poison ivy, but poison oak is even more suffering. That was a Black Kingsnake that loves eating copperheads. Glad you're back...

@ScottAHatfieldJr Год назад

Love those flowers! They’re out in full bloom on the AT right now and I absolutely love it! Great video! Enjoy your hike!

@chrissaunders8284 Год назад

So happy to have seen a Kelly Hays video released this morning. Thank you!

@bernielamont825 Год назад

Hey Kelly, looks like you had a great first day of hiking. Walking through that Mtn. Laurel made me a little jealous, haven't been able to hike when our state flower is in bloom for many many years, you guys were very lucky. Enjoy!

@IShallNotBeSilent Год назад

What a beautiful hike and scenery....the mountain laurel's were just amazing! Be safe and be Blessed!

@rosemarymcleod4074 Год назад

Beautiful flowers all along the trail. Great first day.

@rachelbosworth497 Год назад

Awesome first day Kelly. Great video 😊

@wendypelaez9305 Год назад

Excited to be following you two again!

@fn.hikes.at2249 Год назад

I thought for sure you’d be at trail days!!! Happy trails

@garyhog64 Год назад

So excited for this hike!! It is cool to see you in places I have hiked. You saw a small part of why my home state is called Alabama the Beautiful! It's so cool to see you and Tripod hiking in some of the places that I have hiked.

@maureenmukhlis2934 Год назад

It’s so awesome to see you out on the trail again!! It’s a beauty😍 THOSE FLOWERS🥰🥰 I SURE WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO EVERY VLOG💗🙏

@deshawniskeng-mixedmediatv Год назад

Hello beautiful glad to see you start a new journey on a new trail I'm sure it will be fun 😊

@sandythiessen9375 Год назад

Great to see y’all on the trail again! Keep us updated on your 35L pack. Gorgeous scenery!

@Daygo448 Год назад

Awesome! I didn’t see your trail announcement, so it’s awesome to see you’re doing the Pinhoti. That’s one of my favorite hiking, backpacking, and mountain biking trails. I’m about 45 mins away from the northern terminus. Enjoy the trail, and I hope to see you guys out there!

@BootsAndPearls85 Год назад

Looks like it was a beautiful first day! Thanks for sharing your new dinner concoction, I love seeing how creative hikers get with their cuisine! Stay safe out there, looks like rough road ahead based on the photos you've shared but we know you can pull through any challenge!

@Joe-ub5rs Год назад

Yes beware their is a lot of poison ivy, so stay on trail as much as possible. Looking forward to your videos on Adam's Gap to Cheaha State Park and the Snake in GA, two of my favorite parts. Just under 7 miles passed Porters gap you will have about 2 miles of rock fields, it's slow going just take your time and be safe.

@anneoconnor3614 Год назад

What a pretty hike !!! Thanks for taking us along

@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING Год назад

Great video! Welcome to Flagg Mountain and the POC. Nice first day. Crow

@allthingsamandamichelle Год назад

Pretty views! Thank you for taking us along. I thought you were in AR at first as the trail kind of resembles some of the forest there. Safe travels through the forest.

@sammymartinez556 Год назад

Start to a new trail.. enjoy and stay safe my friend.. love ❤️ from New Mexico..

@bevgipson1959 Год назад

And you’re off! Actually probably finished lol. But awesome to see you on the trail again!!

@RickINFJ Год назад

Dang Kelly, your footage and editing really are remarkable. 8:42 This bench was straight outta Narnia. 😊 My heart sank when you mentioned poison ivy. I looked like a burn victim the last time I got it; be careful. Thank you for another series! ✌️

@alexeatonexploresamerica5511 Год назад

You should try the hiking trail in the Point Washington State Forest

@robmechanic Год назад

Awesome start!!

@Randee04 Год назад

So excited for this series!!! Love all of your videos!

@arthurschwarz3359 Год назад

Glad your back on the trails, love your videos

@sdc4405 Год назад

Looking forward to this series since it's in my backyard! Chuck Norris and all thr POC folks are awesome!

@kellyhays23 Год назад

Yes they are!!!

@Onewholovesrock Год назад

We have the Ice Age Trail here in Wisconsin. Approximately 1200 miles long. Unfortunately I think there’s a decent amount of road hiking. That probably puts many serious hikers off. I live on a road portion of the trail. It actually goes through the small town I live in. Occasionally I see people walking by with their packs and sticks. But not too often. Upon doing some research. It looks like only about 100 people have thru hiked it.

@cwesley2005 Год назад

Sunglasses look amazing! Keep crushing it!

@nickhikesinthewoods6150 Год назад

The trail is already awesome and that waymark backpack is sweet I want to get the mile 28 l one

@fuquaysteve271 Год назад

Great scenery....

@edstein5642 9 месяцев назад

About that foam sleeping pad… is that a preference for lighter weight as opposed to a self-inflater like a thermorest? I hate accordion foamies & find them torturous. Each his own of course. What say you?

@kellyhays23 9 месяцев назад

I would say the foam pad doesn’t save much weight and is more bulky to deal with, on the other hand, for me, it was easier to just lay out and sleep on, didn’t have to worry about getting holes or blowing it up every night and it doubled as much air pad throughout the day. Took my a while to get used to sleeping on it but I think it’s all personal preference

@user-David-Alan Год назад

Wow, great first day. Thank you, the mountain laurel was beautiful. Hope the ivy doesn't get you. Take care and stay safe.

@janetwheeler4210 Год назад

Yeah 👍

@Uhmjazz Год назад

Welcome to Sweet home Alabama ! Kelly and Tripod ! 😮 First day out just exciting as last day IT BE FINE😊

@larrypeake7632 Год назад

Miss Kelly, even with the late start you two still got some good miles in. Snake, YIKES! Poison Ivy stay away from Miss Kelly!

@denisebrown2940 Год назад

I pray you are able to avoid all the poison ivy. The trail so far is fabulous. Happy hiking.

@LukeAndersson1 Год назад

Wow, what a beautiful trail! This is going to be a great trip. Love your videos. Just out of curiosity, what do you use for editing and posting when on your thru hikes? Have fun!

@stevenagle615 Год назад

✌️your vids are miles ahead of the rest.🎉

@davidlooney3018 Год назад

Awesome. My home state👍

@marnieandnoelle Год назад

I thought I was the only one who had the Smart Water sports top do that!

@just2creative Год назад

Now that trail looks inviting...even the snake waved.

@musingwithreba9667 Год назад

well I hope those photos at the end weren't foreshadowing of what's to come! Good luck!

@thatsamazinggrace9512 Год назад

hey Kelly! I really enjoy your videos! what sun shirt are you wearing? I really like it!

@kellyhays23 Год назад

Thank you! It’s a jolly gear sun hoodie!

@tacklebill4835 Год назад

Thanks! So jealous. You and " Tripod " Grab a cold beer and think of me!

@DeRocco21 Год назад

good luck!

@Gratefulbirdie Год назад

Love your hat. NFA ❤️⚡️💙

@lyndajefferson5929 Год назад

Yeah, keep your eyes open for that nasty poison ivy, I know it can get really bad. So great to see you both back on trail, that's really nice.

@bigbranch1 Год назад

If you get the ivy....take antihistimines....they help a lot....good luck.

@Scott_Atlanta Год назад

Thanks!

@tacklebill4835 Год назад

No moss growing under your feet Kelly!

@jimmyjenkins9240 Год назад

Ugh! Poison ivy … it’s always something! That little preview at the end of this video looked like an incident!

@jzoop1 Год назад

Poison ivy is the worst, I always get it. Alcohol based cleanser after you touch it helps. Like your hat.

@claramullen Год назад

I hope you have an epic adventure. Be very careful and stay away from that nasty poison ivy. Take care

@walteragentplummer7031 Год назад

James operating the camera etc!😂

@bertkelly7650 Год назад

Use your wipes to wipe down right away if you come in contact with ivy. Thanks for your video!

@TheNewsouthoutdoors Год назад

Black Kingsnake. Immune to snake venom. They will eat venomous snakes. Good to have around. Good luck on the Pinhoti. Will be following along.

@russhay422 Год назад

That was a quick turn around.

@richardross7219 Год назад

Is your trail name going to have to change to "Bonus Miles"? Aloe Vera cactus sap is a good antidote for poison plants. Have fun. Good Luck, Rick

@jewels07 Год назад

Hi Kelly and Tripod!!!

@rockytopwrangler2069 Год назад

.. WHAT ?? Chuck Norris shuttled you ,, I would guess there's no rif-raf troubles on that trail ...

@joedygert4362 Год назад

very nice

@fuquaysteve271 Год назад

Photo preview at the end? Poison ivy ruined my summer vaca when i was 12....

@Cindyscrossstitch Год назад

I hope you can avoid the poison Ivy on the trail 🌻 👣

@BobL84 Год назад

what state is this

@nicoleandjoshbaldwin4228 Год назад

I like to carry my poop kit on a small side pouch on my Fanny pack so it can just drop my pack and get it done faster.

@paavoviuhko7250 Год назад

For my poison ivy some years ago I was given diprolene/bactroban. Sure seemed to have done the job. I found myself standing in a heavy ground cover of poison ivy while searching for a trail. My ankles paid the price. Running stream water had no effect on washing it out. Best wishes to you.

@9melissal Год назад

You definitely need more than water to remove the poison ivy oils that cause the rash. Plus once it's made contact with your skin washing it off doesn't really matter, it's already done the damage unfortunately. I'm very allergic to it and have a very severe reaction to it. Always had to get high dose prednisone shots whenever I got it and it still would take me about a month of extreme discomfort to get rid of it ☹

@paavoviuhko7250 Год назад

Thanks for that. I have been avoiding poison ivy for the last ten years.

@alexeatonexploresamerica5511 Год назад

😍😍 wish I there
