“Plans are worthless, but planning is everything. “ - Dwight D. Eisenhower You do an excellent plan each day but always remain flexible with it. You’re definitely dialed in on trail life.

Thanks

“ things happen, and we have to adjust”…. such a great life lesson that you have said over and over! Great wisdom there.

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Yes! Thank you!

@ChrisHikes Месяц назад

I've watched your whole journey and appreciate seeing what life is like on the trail. You're getting into areas where I hike. I've driven I-90 under that AT bridge a ton of times! The bugs are bad this time of year but often get better by mid-June or early July. Last week I hiked high peaks in Maine along the AT. The views are amazing from the mountains in the Northeast, you will love it!

@nightrunning4eva Месяц назад

I’m hiking the 100-mile wilderness in Maine the third week of July…any idea whether the black flies will subside by then? Mosquitoes?

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Can't wait

@ChrisHikes Месяц назад

@nightrunning4eva I live in Northern NY (Adirondack Mountains). The black flies are usually gone in NY by the end of June. It is probably similar in Maine. Mosquitos are around all summer, more concentrated near water.

@caroldavison2970 Месяц назад

Buy a small can of OFF! and hope the bugs leave you alone. Kara is a fantastic support for your adventure behind the scenes----- stuff just happens as you have reassured her! AT stand showed up just in time! Love people who do stuff like this! Thanks for showing what your improptu resupply finds looked like, too. Interesting. The lake was beautiful!

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

I will not carry off 😂

Country Kitchen Donuts!! Welcome to New England 🎉🎉

So good!

I saw your contribution to Ramdinos post and you were all ‘gnat controlled up’!! 😂

As a fellow lover of the full-body ice bath that a mountain dip is in the Northeast, I wanted to pass on a few of my favorites along the AT in NH/ME: -By the Eliza Brook Shelter between Mts. Wolf & Kinsman in the Southern Whites. -Along the railroad grade a few miles before the Ethan Pond Shelter in the central Whites -Speck Pond Shelter a short bit into Maine -Cooper Brook Falls Lean-To at about the 1/2-way point of the 100 Mile Wilderness

As you came into that wonderful field farm I thot of Barbara Frietchie’s “…garden of the Lord”, Whittier. You are covering some marvelously beautiful country. Utah is basically desert and we NEVER see the lavish greens you are hiking with its multitudinous shades of green with the sky showing thru! I feel a vicarious part of your hiking. Good luck with the food supply and reunion✅

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Thanks

@musingwithreba9667 Месяц назад

That AT Stand is awesome, such generous folks who stock that for the hikers 😊 I hope you were able to get your box bounced!

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

I did!

@williamlepse7077 Месяц назад

Had to laugh at those planks they had installed and how they were over nice dry ground but they ended right at the mud.

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Always

@johnwilbur7707 Месяц назад

Today's journey must have been refreshing for a man that likes water.

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Always

@sydoniestock2187 Месяц назад

I love that every advice for bears is to make noise and be loud, and you try to sneak up on the "bear". I'd do the same, I want to see a bear in the wild (my asthma breathing definitely scares them away before I get close)

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Maybe I hike loud 😂

@roberthague396 Месяц назад

That lodge is about 20 minutes from my hometown. Enjoy!

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Nice

@TrailStrider909 Месяц назад

Love the vid!

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Thanks

I’ve been blessed with several bear sightings/close encounters. I’ve smelled them, but never heard them. I’m sure your feet are ready for a good rest. You should see today’s video 5stack posted. He had a hawk? Dive bomb him on trail. He was prepared as he had been warned and it did not get his head. Others have had their heads scraped by it. He is in Maine. Hopefully it will be gone by the time you get there. Would be hard to protect both you and Leo

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

I will catch him with my teeth 😄

@jayray720 Месяц назад

🚶🐕‍🦺👟👟⛺🌞 so grateful that you're sharing your amazing journey with all of us you and Leo are moving right along stay safe and happy hiking 💯💪🏆 tell your wife to tell them to put a pizza in the box and send it on up the trail 😁

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

You are so welcome

@MariaSimpson-rp1os Месяц назад

😂 Spray that bug net with some Off, wear a sweat band 😅

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

I got a plan

@user-uk4ok6ud2w Месяц назад

Get a dryer sheet and put it on your hat- it works for me when i outside here in bama- it keeps the snats away while i working outside

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Hmmm

@johnwilbur7707 Месяц назад

When you get in nh. And me. Whatch out for small lakes ponds. They tend to have leaches in some remote places.

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Thanks

@brendatate4822 Месяц назад

Fabulous! Thanks.

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Thanks

@galejones5870 Месяц назад

I love your positivity ~ take care and pay attention to your body and finish strong!! No doubt at all that you will! And I love how you handle that resupply goof. Stuff like that happens in life, all a part of it!! Your wife is amazing with her support for you!! You are a lucky guy! One thing you can always count on in life is things will get “messed up” but it is how you deal with it that matters! Always wonderful watching your videos and progress! Stay strong ♥️🥾♥️

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Thank you so much!!

@sharonwarner6800 Месяц назад

You forgot to mention the peanut M&M's😂 that lodge looked amazing.

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Eating them daily

@Deb16- Месяц назад

That's why you have your bug net silly.

@rungavagairun Месяц назад

I wondered the same thing. The don't cost that much and only weigh less than an ounce.

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Yea it and sweat didn't work together

@rungavagairun Месяц назад

@@ISuckatHiking sun hat brim would keep it off your skin, if the cling is what bothers you.

@joyadams507 Месяц назад

Spray your ball cap with off especially the bill! How nice to have the AT Shack on your day! Glad you are feeling better today, but don’t beat yourself up for having challenges.. it happens, but what’s important is you pushed through… keep pushing those miles, each step is bringing you closer … Hike on….

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Don't want that dripping down into my eyes after a rainy day

@robinodowd458 Месяц назад

It’s going to be 97 degrees today in Florida

@MariaSimpson-rp1os Месяц назад

Already feels like August 🔥

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Ugh

@vickietyer1611 Месяц назад

That pizza place didn’t send my box back last year. I called and asked two times and they were nice and said they would but I didn’t get it back. Good luck!!

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

Sorry to hear that

@lindatipton413 Месяц назад

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ AT stand was so cool!! The terrain and trails are sooo beautiful! Just a question on how does all the fat and cholesterol that you ingest, equal out with your hiking?😳 coming from a medical point of view, I would love to see what your bloodwork says about your cholesterol. LOL.

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

I am burning it up

@MariaSimpson-rp1os Месяц назад

When you have to do laundry town, I was curious as to what those costs are nowadays.

@ISuckatHiking Месяц назад

5-10 bucks
