I think this is your most "real" video about how life on the AT can be when things aren't the best case scenario. Stay safe❤

@arleneheer2883 Год назад

Your videos are my “Guilty Pleasure” on RU-vid. I cannot hike anymore due to a weird neurological disorder. I LOVE how fricken good you are! You’re mileage is crazy, and your organization is awesome. I look forward to your videos every day. Be safe and hike on. You are incredibly capable woman, a hiking machine, all while carrying a camera for us to follow along with you. Thank you!✨

@annalong1260 Год назад

Blue ridge mountains in Shenandoah national park are aaaaaaamazing.

@Karen-dq8nw Год назад

I love the sped-up "packing" video from your tent. I find that some times it goes smoothly and other times I pack it all wrong and have to start over. Most of the time it's easy, but every once in a while, I just can't think straight! I love the wildlife on this one too.

@wendygrw Год назад

Enjoying following you along the trail. Great closeup video of the Pileated Woodpecker! And deer as well. Hope you get a resupply soon so you have enough food.

@JohnsTinyWoodshop Год назад

Totally camped right next to the ranger station at the base of Old Rag. They shook our tents in the morning and told us beat it, but it's all good. There was no other option the night before

@Cindyscrossstitch Год назад

Adapting to her surroundings. Keep going Taylor 👣🌻

@PatrickMcCannNYC Год назад

you had a cardinal that visited you!!! That was a passed on loved one checking up on you and saying hello!!!!

@leedanielson7452 Год назад

AWESOME VID KID!!!❤️👍🙏🏻🏔️🏕️

@ffstopP Год назад

Great video. You're a fabulous problem-solver - patient, rational, inventive. Walk on.

@jesinbeverly Год назад

Once upon a time not too long ago, it was all an adventure. You never knew what to expect, where you were gonna camp. The experience was simply more organic. You could research ahead of time but good info was perishable. The connectedness of the world has greatly expanded the opportunity of making an AT hike to those who otherwise would have been on the fence regarding the chance aspect of it without being able to so easily plan.

@RavenHikes Год назад

Got to admire the ones who did it with no connections. Admirable to say the least, I had a friend that did it 25 years ago. He pulled off the Triple Crown. He is one amazing hiker who can still kill it.

@debsmith7050 Год назад

Pileated Woodpecker 💕 ...a symbol of courage! Seems you needed that for the night - I'm sure it all worked out....guess it's trail challenges and you are up for the task

@deborahchadwick210 Год назад

Good morning! Just camp by that closed store!!!

@TXMEDRGR Год назад

That last shot of your tent really showed how windy it was, I hope the night went well.

@vickifg13 Год назад

Thanks for sharing today. Stay safe and Happy Hiking ⛺️🥾💞

@underarock8621 Год назад

I blue blazed this section. Trust me you made the right call 😊

@patrickhanly7458 Год назад

Cerulean Warbler when you were taping your blister. Nice bird. Beautiful vid of a Pileated Woodpecker on that tree.

@mbcb7849 Год назад

Hey Taylor l have been following your daily adventure on the A/T from the beginning. It takes a lot of planning, drive and courage to do what you do and I appreciate you taking us along your adventures. Many years ago I took a long solo motorcycle trip out west. Rode my bike up Pikes Peak, Aspen, Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Camped every night. Had challenges like you but a lifetime of great memories. Keep doing what you love, stay safe and I will be following along with your hike. Mike B

@pattysmith9892 Год назад

Great footage of the birds in the Shenandoah! Sorry Loft wasn’t open for you yet! We camp there every year! Love the quiet atmosphere there. We haven’t seen a bear there for many years. We saw more snakes than bears.

@charleshutchinson3829 Год назад

Nice picture of the Woodpecker.

@denisebrown2940 Год назад

Love all the wildlife you had in the video. You are doing great. You encourage me to push on in difficult circumstances.

@qsbroom Год назад

You've got this ..44 is a good lucky number..it's mine too!

@trevdevadventures Год назад

Awesome thanks for sharing

@Lovesracing19 Год назад

The woodpecker was beautiful. Shenandoah has some nice views. Safe travels.

@cwesley2005 Год назад

Taylor you are awesome, keep pushing!

@kxrv6629 Год назад

Did a dayhike to Black Rock Summit the other day. Looks like where you were. Spent a week camping at Loft Mtn over Memorial Day weekend. Never did check out the Waysides. Safe hiking

@stuartrollings602 Год назад

Your orange spirit animal keeps watch over you! Lots of bears in that area! Be well!

@pamelamikel7967 Год назад

Wow..great photos. One tough woman..wind is ridiculous. Stay safe.

@mikemoore4016 Год назад

Awesome

@KevBoneT Год назад

All campstores and waysides are now open 😀 🥾🥾

@debp7849 Год назад

Great shot of the woodpecker! 👣 Happy trails.

@HughHawthorne Год назад

I'm currently in Shen-missed you by about a week-Weather is supposed to be similar to this video, but not raining yet-about to do my 2 day after the Marathon Day Hike-hopefully about 14 miles out and back-Love your site-good luck ahead! PS-about 40 minutes slower than your marathon-but a tougher course :)-Old guy marathoning-

@Jtwes Год назад

Wow Taylor you should be proud. You don’t see many deer in the start of the velvet. 👍👍👍

@deminmax Год назад

Logs might puncture the tent. Some people use fleece to tuck under the sleping pad, or other soft gear.

@jamesbynum7970 Год назад

Another great vlog. Enjoy your strategy of your daily hiking plans. You're such an inspiration & a natural presenter of your AT journey. Keep it up!

@crazylegsonthetrail Год назад

We did the Shenandoah's last year, in July and the water was exactly the same way very little!! Hopefully you will meet up with some trail angels like we did!

@MudTurkey Год назад

I enjoyed hiking through SNP on my 2019 thru-hike, but it was even cold in the summer with a lot of rain. The ridgerunner looked at me a little puzzled since I had shaved recently, and she said I was awful clean for a thru-hiker. I didnt see any bears in the park. Good luck on the rest of the trail!

@paulaschlegel58 Год назад

Keep up that mental toughness!!! You've got this.

@joecamel6196 Год назад

We are with you & following your hike.

@RickINFJ Год назад

Nice shots of the woodpecker and cardinal! Great work adapting to the variables Taylor. 💪 Hope you get some good food at the wayside. ✌️

@colleen2503 Год назад

Nice wildlife shots! I hope the weather improves for you.

@chewielewis4002 Год назад

I've run into many trails on the AT where the water was bone dry and just a trickle like you saw, I ended up buying a pump filter because its I've been stuck trying to fill a bladder or bottle up in a trickle of a stream

@michaelglentz1858 Год назад

We start out our morning watching your YT videos and you have inspired our two teenage girls to HIKE! ❤

@gregbeem9428 Год назад

I love hearing your thought process. Be safe 😊

@wtr7 Год назад

Nice wildlife vids. Thanks!

@dannythecamper4186 Год назад

Good video 😂with lots of good views, lots of deers a bad rocky climb 😮 so let's keep on hiking 😊

@kellycyr7038 Год назад

Love your videos...especially loved the wildlife in this one. I can't believe all the deer! I'm the one who never sees them 😂

@mathfan0918 Год назад

The scariest part is being all alone if something happens. I’m glad you went back to be somewhat near the other hiker, even if you never saw them. Great video!

@debbymarks9490 Год назад

Wow windy! Hope you resupply soon!

@MrsJoyism Год назад

If you're ever in need of rescue, take a potty break and you'll be saved in no time.

@bettyjorodgers8552 Год назад

Doing good. Thanks

@vincentc6919 Год назад

That's Loft Mountain Campground and Camp Store. I don't know why they weren't open that's weird. They have showers there and a great store. Just down the hill is the Wayside where you get the magical BlackBerry Ice Cream....

@frolege1 Год назад

1:12 this is why I don't think I can ever thru-hike..I'm afraid of mice. I'm a grown ass man and mice simply gross me out. Bears, snakes, coyotes etc etc simply don't but mice (please ......)

@ahoward3819 Год назад

It is ok. We all have something if we are honest. I am a veterinarian and my thing is snakes. The few times I could not refer a snake to another vet for treatment I had to physically grind my teeth the whole time I was doing it. I could not make myself look at anything else the entire time.

@dayhikedave Год назад

Good catch on all the wildlife. Seems like as soon as you get a camera out they leave. Especially birds 👍🥾🙏

@dbstewart4496 Год назад

I don't know if this will be useful, but I hardly ever see a bear if I wildcamp. It's the campgrounds, shelters and well used stealth sites that the bears are attracted to. The further away from these the better.

@markyohn-wpmaeb9209 Год назад

The campgrounds in SNP opened on May 5th. That should mean that the camp stores opened on May 5th too.

@Naisium Год назад

Pileated woodpecker! Those guys are huge. 5:09

@mhe8545 Год назад

What is it with these places not open yet with all the hikers out there? You will be ok. With your experience listen to others but trust yourself.

@rkatufus Год назад

I guess you're through SNP by now. I hope you ate a burger and shake at Spelunkers in Front Royal!

@johnwall727 Год назад

I couldn't find your video again about your watch.....could you please let me know the brand and how accurate you find it. Besides elevation and distance what other functions do you use ? Love your passion for the outdoors.

@deborahchadwick210 Год назад

Her gear list is on this you tube channel.

@margdaykin5853 Год назад

Taylor. Can you please answer this question when u have time. If a campsite has big mice population- if you zip up your tent does that keep them out? I’ve been wondering that. If a tent offers protection from the mice. Love your channel. Been watching you since 2020. So inspired by you💚🥾💚

@wanttogo1958 Год назад

Only if they choose not to chew through it. Generally they won’t unless you’ve taken food inside with you.

@phucyouse5316 Год назад

I white and yellow blazed and bicycle blazed SNP hehe

@michaelglentz1858 Год назад

44! That is a lucky number.

@randybryant7460 Год назад

luv blackrock!!

@cwesley2005 5 месяцев назад

How do you possibly keep anything dry when you have to pack up that wet tent and carry it with all your gear?

@levisworld8249 Год назад

Is a hilltop packs food bag good for the NH section of the AT? (Hiking form Shurburne pass to Grafton notch this summer.) just wondering what I should do for a lightweight waterproof/oder proof food bag solution

@chrisc.3472 Год назад

Do you want to do any other long trails like the PCT or CDT?

@MemphisAirborne Год назад

Saw your h2o rationing comment... how much water are you carrying?

@bradb712 Год назад

Sorry George 😊

@frolege1 Год назад

yeah ...I'm late today..lol ..Great move Brad

@kc8hyg Год назад

Morning

@WorldWideWub Год назад

Woodpecker!

@frolege1 Год назад

2:17 OMG ..SO FUNNY ...

@chrissaunders8284 Год назад

I mentioned on Gabby's channel (you met her a few weeks back) that mice don't like peppermint. I've had them in my desk drawer at work and warded them off with cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil. You might try it and see if they stay away. Put some cotton calls in your pack, tent, and quilt and see what happens. Thank you for the content.
