In 2023 I hiked a little over 800 miles on the AT before an injury took me off trail. But thanks to you and your videos. I took a multi-vitamin with Krill oil everyday and tried to eat fruits and vegetables in town. I stayed relatively healthy while I was on trail. I’ll be getting back on trail in April to finish up the trail. Thanks for your videos, you have an infectious positive attitude.
Sounds like you were doing all the right things! Bummer injury took you off but hopefully you're all healed up by now and will get to finish! Happy trails! 😄
When I watch videos like this one, I think about all the folks that hiked the AT before the internet...they just put on the gear and went. I don't think their experience was any better or worse than someone that did it today. Don't over think it, just go.
Idk man my body was falling apart by the end and my hair was falling out. And I saw several men whose muscles started eating themselves (obvious when they started smelling like ammonia). I think it’s worth being aware of. I’m just trying to help somebody do it better than I did.
Agree 100% Audrey. Raise the budget if you can and get into down at least once a week and eat the best nutritional food possible and get the needed rest. Congrats on getting the book out there I plan on checking it out😊
Trail nutrition is a tricky thing, and I don’t think there are a lot of resources out there to get enough calories, get proper nutrition, not carry excessive food weight and for that food to be tasty.
Hi Audrey my name is Jeff from New Hampshire i just watched your video about your mistake’s this is my opinion what are eating is your fuel for your body you put crap food in your body your going to feel like crap hike your own hike be a leader of your own self just because you find a tramily that you like you have to think that they have there own agenda and it might not work for you you end up hiking their hike and that’s not a good thing for you and your health i like your videos keep hiking
Congratulations te your book....you share great content. I would like to hear a podcast you were on...any? You would be a great guest on Kyle hates hiking!!!
Thank you so much! Funny you mention it - I just spoke to Kyle the other day. 😊 My episode of Trail Tales should be out next week! And I have some others coming in the near future. I will share them once they’re out!
