I know Im kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good site to watch newly released movies online?

The human-sheep encounter, absolutely hilarious. Dixie: hey guys!. Sheep: human. RUN!!!

@bhstrumpet1991 6 лет назад

Oh no, I started a stampede 😂😂😂

@hdfgjldfkgjdfklgd 6 лет назад

And this is how Dixie started the big sheep stampede of 2018.

@rayodelsol80 6 лет назад

The coyotes were awesome!

@maxpatch67 6 лет назад

Sunshine Luke ya, I love hearing those

@nikkipearl5191 6 лет назад

I loved it too! Not going to lie though, if I was out camping alone near that it'd scare me!

My Great Pyrenees started barking. : )

@geraldhenrickson7472 6 лет назад

In my six decades on this earth I have NEVER seen someone trip over a state line. Loved the wildflowers. Thanks for taking us along.

In this episode, Dixie poops in some outhouses, Dixie poop-shames some butterflies, and Dixie hears a tree fall in the forest when no one is listening.

@djg5950 6 лет назад

Ha ha ha ! About wraps it up.

@maxpatch67 6 лет назад

herranton1979 hahaha...good overview!

@rockytopwrangler2069 6 лет назад

that's too funny!!

@RiDankulous 6 лет назад

Does Dixie poop rainbows like a unicorn? I think so.

@tictachikes6156 5 лет назад

If Dixie heard it then someone was listening! She’s definitely someone!

@chriscarlsen2100 6 лет назад

Lol!! Loved Aaron tripping into Wyoming!!🤣 Another great video you two!

@maxpatch67 6 лет назад

Chris Carlsen ya, that was some good dramatic acting there, Aaron. I think the funny part was that you tricked, Dixie!

@mikeboucard8535 6 лет назад

My wife and I have been watching you since you thru hiked the AT ... you've been amazing to watch grow .. still the best videos on RU-vid

@eldrs- 5 лет назад

oh man that stampede was the funniest moment of all your videos. It just kept going. Laughed way to hard at that moment. Thank you for capturing our little CDT section as well! - steamboat resident

@squarepegroundearth 6 лет назад

The noises at night.....the ONLY thing that gets into my head while camping ⛺️

@ajpotter518 6 лет назад

Man, just when you have us hooked into the video, it's over. Could watch hours of this.

@bertman4 6 лет назад

Almost got blinded by those lady feet! Dixie is not the sheep whisperer. Congrats on passing the halfway point.

@john51777 6 лет назад

Aaron tripping into each state should be his calling card from now on. Keep up the great work!

@laurelzitowitz5452 6 лет назад

I believe the damselflies that you saw were Boreal Bluets or Northern Bluets. The white fuzzy flowers are bistort. The fireworks flower is Porter Lovage Osha. The pink/purple flowers with the little hats are Elephant Heads. Love these videos. Congrats for halfway and into Wyoming. Wyoming will not disappoint either.

@txhypnotist 6 лет назад

Hi Dixie, glad you are still enjoying trail life. Love the views from your front yard everywhere you have stopped for the night.

@rebeccagreene591 6 лет назад

My 9-yr-old son loved the sheep stampede! Thank you for making such beautiful videos.

@mrcnorth7149 6 лет назад

Awww, a coyote serenade, how nice. The oops stampede was fun to watch. Thx for talking us along Dixie!

@muleyscousin6258 6 лет назад

Dixie, thanks for all your great filming with the insects, the wildlife, and the wildflowers. Thanks for taking us along on your great journey.

@mushercdn 6 лет назад

The macro photography is always excellent in your videos but you knocked it out of the park with the wild flower section. Thanks for that and for the videos.

@timlois 6 лет назад

Bug net for your head is such an effective and light piece of gear to carry that at least keeps them buggers off of your head and neck. One of my essential pieces of gear. Love your videos, Darlin'. Good luck on the rest of the trail. Take care.

@michaelb2279 6 лет назад

Tim Lois I was thinking the Same. Less than an ounce and I laugh at the mosquitoes! Bring em!

@JoelWelter 6 лет назад

At 12:23 "Oh no, I've started a stampede!" Hahhahahahaaha! You're comments are so funny!

@petekeener8943 6 лет назад

Dixie, as if anything could make you look any better, I think that cap looks really great on ya! Good "Southern gray" look and matches your pack! Amazing how beautiful you can keep yourself after months on the trail!!!

@terrapedes 6 лет назад

In Icelandic we have a saying, “Fall er fararheill”. It basically means that a bad start of a journey brings good luck. So Aaron you’re in for a good trip;)

@nancystephens7663 6 лет назад

Almost half-way now. You got it, girl! Followed you on the AT, PCT and now CDT and lovin' every video you post. Thanks for taking us along on these awesome adventures. Keep collarin' the wind! :)

@Coltrabagar 6 лет назад

I didn't know that dragonfly wings alternate flapping between front and back sets. I just assumed all 4 wings flapped at the same time. I learned something new.

@OreoSpeedwagonR_T 6 лет назад

You're really making me jealous, young lady!!! I want to do this so bad, but for now I'll just have to live vicariously through you!

@AidaJof 4 года назад

Yes, the Canadian Rockies have the same wildflowers ... just beautiful

@stevebennett1584 6 лет назад

Hey Dixie, Thanks for this update,... gratz on having half the trail behind you, even though I know it was a bittersweet moment to realize you're halfway through. Stay safe,happy, healthy and know that we're always with you in spirit, and that you are OUR favorite wildflower on the CDT.... Enjoy Wyoming, I spent a few cold evenings there when I was younger, .....stay warm....CHEERS !!

@HeyItsTim 5 лет назад

I'm so enjoying your episodes. Better than any TV show. Trying to get myself out there and do a through hike.

@romeomikulic9781 6 лет назад

Nice contrast between this video and the previous one. Previous one being more about hardships, this one being more idyllic. Kudos to whoever picked the music near the end of the video. It enhances that pastoral feeling without being too loud as to not mask your narration. What a milestone! Looking forward to the next one.

@NHBackcountryGuide 2 года назад

Steamboat is my favorite town in Colorado and I took my first trip there roughly around the time you filmed this. They have a farmer's market every Saturday in the summer and the trail crews that service the Mt. Zirkel and Sarvis Creek wilderness areas usually have a pop up there. Always good seeing the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness.

@coughingowloutdoors8579 6 лет назад

Fantastic as alway Miss Dixie. I really enjoy your efforts with the macro lense. Thanks for sharing the small wonders as well as everything else. Love the night sky shots and the coyote serenade was great. Glad you were able to take advantage of the outhouses. Little things can mean so much! Stay safe, enjoy it and thanks again for packing us along with you! Thanks to Aaron for continuing to work his magic! Wyoming!!!

@tictachikes6156 5 лет назад

Only Dixie can come up with a the sunny side of going half a mile off trail uphill!

@OldPackMule 6 лет назад

Once again an epic video. Thanks for taking us along. I will probably never see those trails and fields of wild flowers but you have given me the hope and the dream. Thank you.

@rogerhaynes2661 6 лет назад

Wow. I've been all over that area from Pueblo to Steamboat and your videography captured it so well. I miss it.

Dixie's Words of Wisdom: Life's too short to not be happy

@Woods_Hiker 5 лет назад

This is/was an epic first hike for Aaron and he seems like a very cool person to hike with. Can't wait t see what the other states bring you all given the water in NM and the storms in Colorado 14:30

@StarFlower99654 5 лет назад

Colorado is my favorite state right behind Alaska. To tell the truth I have found something I love about every state I have gotten to explore. Love your videos. Sure hope I can video document my hikes as good as you two.

@tamarahauze7405 6 лет назад

I'm a 5th generation Colorado native. I am so glad you found my home special and life-changing. It does that for me everyday! Dixie, you have given me so much inspiration! Your gumption is mind blowing!

@jessemudge9889 6 лет назад

Glad I'm not the only one who sometimes goes the wrong direction and for stream crossings and for camp crocks are great

@ADoubleen 6 лет назад

Dixie you have inspired me not just in spirit, but in action. I have hiked more in the past couple years than my whole life put together. This weekend I’m going to go solo camping. Thank you for exemplifying dreaming vs. doing, and being a brave and strong solo gal out there in the wilderness. 💪

@Wondering_Fireball 4 года назад

Dixie, even though I have watched these vlogs before it’s still great revisiting them and seeing you interact with the wildlife. It’s Awesome.

@mochitwa 6 лет назад

Lol the sheep! Laughed so hard

@suzannehedderly1331 6 лет назад

Gotta love that ending! Lol! The sheepies, wild flowers and the blue darters...awesome. Glad you are going to learn the flowers!

@johanvandijkh5042 6 лет назад

@k84t96 6 лет назад

Loved the coyotes added in at night... I've grown up with that nearly all my life so things like that make me smile.

@ellenderee350 3 года назад

Still immensely enjoying your video’s. Great footage of the moose in episode 15. Now on to Wyoming. Learning a lot about the state’s nature, by just sitting on the couch. Would love to visit US again, but have to wait for post COVID.

@bradfordeaton6558 6 лет назад

Dixie, ya'll just completed the area that I used to live in...made me homesick! I really like your comments and photos you are now taking, they are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for taking us with you on your journey! Look forward to each new post from you! Love your insight into life, hope you never lose that beauty.

@esh5524 6 лет назад

I love the indian paintbrush! Remembers me of the Rockies!

@lisapaine1733 6 лет назад

I'd trip too! Another epic video. Totally worth the wait.

@gbeachy2010 6 лет назад

Sea to Summit bug jacket works well for me. Does double duty as an insulating layer under a shell or in sleeping bag. Very light. The pouch it comes in works as a bear rope bag, for the rock to toss over a limb.

@Tasman_Tiger 5 лет назад

Absolutely loved this video! I section hiked from Encampment to Steamboat, where I used to live, and was disappointed not to have passed you. Think you got through this section about three days later. But how cool to see the same scenery through a different perspective. I certainly enjoyed relaxing in the same spot at that water source, what a treat that was! Thanks for all the advise and gear knowledge you share, it helped me prep for my section hike, and is helping me plan my Colorado CDT hike next summer!

@AidaJof 4 года назад

Love the wildflowers!

@sandracrippen2720 6 лет назад

I'm so glad I got this today was so worried about you with all the fire's around the West. Doing A great job learning more as you trek North. Be safe out there Thank You!!!!!!

@lulamarie6218 6 лет назад

Dixie you have inspired me to hike the AT. It’s something that’s been in the back of my mind for years. I was a stay at home mama for 23 years, I got divorced, and then I went back to school for nursing. My kids are grown, and now it’s my turn. I’ve recently lost a best friend and a brother. I see people’s lives forever altered at work everyday. It’s time to make this dream a reality. I love your style as I am a southern girl myself. Keep following your dreams. AT 2020

@williamsstephens 2 года назад

Welp, I guess we're going to Canada. Hadn't planned on that, but I'm hooked.

@mikaelam.695 6 лет назад

My family just got done camping in Steamboat last week. I love how you documented my home state. The wild flowers are indeed amazing this time of year!

@timrotunda2226 6 лет назад

"If a tree falls in the forest will someone hear it" is confirmed! Way to go Dixie! Another great video. Way to go Aaron! You got skills son. Can't wait for the next one.

@TheWodasi 6 лет назад

Thanks Dixie ! I love Colorado .. Lived there for 30 years been all over that state !... even a Rainbow Gathering near Steamboat Co.....

@MJGEGB 6 лет назад

Just be happy the mosquitos in that area only come out at dusk and only catch you when you stop walking, and don't get you through your clothing.

@LongDistanceViewing 6 лет назад

Seemed a much happier episode this week! Great to see you both enjoying it! Much love from the UK!

@joysheets2412 6 лет назад

So proud of you Dixie, so beautiful & inspired by your determination. My daughter is the same age as you. She just did the Pelotonia bike run this past weekend for cancer research. 100 miles. She is a bank manager for Huntington Bank, they & 8,500 hundred riders raised over 38 million dollars this year. God bless her & you. Love & peace ✌🏻 Love the wild flowers 🌺 beautiful ! Congratulations on your half way journey. You go girl! 👍 🙏🇺🇸 WV. Btw, Aaron's trail name should be "Trip" lol !

@Darignobullseye 6 лет назад

Great video! Loved on the road again. Interesting how all the sheep took off. Some great views, flowers, and dragon flies.

@johnj620. 6 лет назад

Oh man.... Over already....! 💟ur channel....!

@CaptnArcher 4 года назад

My least favorite part of hiking is mosquitos. I remember hiking up to mist creek pass in yellowstone as my first back country hitch. About halfway, I sucked a mosquito down the wrong pipe and stood there coughing for 5 minutes. Then minor coughing to dislodge it for the next hour or so... well immediately after I got it and felt great, ANOTHER one decided to fly right on down and I suffered for another hour 😂

@Mtnsunshine 6 лет назад

Lol....such wonderful story telling via video. And Aaron having that 'issue' at the end put a fine point on what he said about Wyoming. Too cute. Great close ups of flowers and insets. Could the colors of the dragonflies be any prettier??? Thanks, you two! Love the double camera work. It (and your editing, Aaron) are flawless.

@katw4017 6 лет назад

I just binge-watched all 16 episodes....keep em comin'! So glad you're having an amazing time!

@mm4chelle 5 лет назад

I love Wyoming and Colorado, I've lived in both states. I love watching your adventures!

@debbiefarner2709 6 лет назад

What a great ending literally. Aaron that was a nice entrance to WY.

@stevemazz3121 6 лет назад

At around 5 minutes Dixie states, very oh well-ly.... camp is a mile up and that means we are only doing 20 miles today... ONLY 20 miles.... Love this girls spirit.

@stevemazz3121 6 лет назад

Passing the halfway point, only been out there for 3 months... Readers, think, what have you been doing the last three month? These folks and been walking to Canada.

@stevemazz3121 6 лет назад

I live on the Olympic Peninsula and have been camping and lake fishing in beautiful areas such as Dixie is getting to experience the last three months.. The big difference is after one or two nights I am home in my warm bed... The main reason I moved here from the city.... Like I said, you gotta love this girls spirit...

@ginare2 6 лет назад

I am following a girl hiking the AT and she is loosing her mind and spirit. I wish I could bottle up some of your incredible spirit, grit and willingness to see the good in all and send it to her. Thanks Dixie for another great vid.

@jeff9104 6 лет назад

" Dixie Duke Wednesday " !, nice video and congratulations on your half way point on the CDT

@maxpatch67 6 лет назад

Jeff ya, that’s awesome!

@MstrRo 6 лет назад

Another well done vid. Thanks for bring us along. If you take a chunk or two of mosquito coil with you, you can fumigate your tent. The little buggers may fall on you like rain for a little while but it is better than getting bit while you sleep. This works well on a double wall shelter, not sure how your single wall vents the fumes. Be sure to lie low on the flow and out of the fumes when fumigating.

@dannyray3853 6 лет назад

so happy I found this channel. I grew up in Fort Payne Alabama and now living upstate New York. so listening to your voice enhances the video LOL thank you for the great videos and awesome and inspirational outlook on life
