My name is Tony. I enjoy long walks along the trail, love tree burls, and have a squeaky backpack.
I thru hiked the Long Trail over 21 days during July and August 2023. This video captures my third, and final, week on the trail covering mile 184 to mile 273, from US Route 2 to the Canadian border.
I almost cried when upon returning home, I discovered my camera settings were inadvertently adjusted, resulting in footage quality well below my expectations. Washed out colors at times and grainy footage in low light. It took a while, but I’m over it. I made adjustments during editing to improve the quality.
I take time to record and edit these videos so one day when I’m an old(er) man, I can sit back relive my younger days. In addition, I hope others who love to plan trips like I do over the winter months can possibly gain something from watching. I attempted to capture the reality of the trail with its beauty and challenges, along with interactions with fellow hikers. To aid folks pouring over maps and the guidebook, I added shelter names, road crossings and other points of interest as captions.
Well, I hope you enjoy the video, and it doesn’t suck too bad. LOL
