Just finished the kindle version. Fell into a rabbit hole when you posted the link on facebook. My son is section hiking. Great read!

STILL makes my eyes misty.

Did you ever have an issue with finding a grocery store along the way? I always thought id be sending a bunch of packages to myself as well.

You were supposed to take it easy and let your leg heal. Sitting with your leg elevated would have been alright!

I just finished your book. I loved it! I am basically chapter 1 you right now. I was a city slicker living in Milwaukee for 20 years (with no vehicle so not leaving the city much). I finally moved out of the city last spring and discovered the Ice Age Trail. And let me tell you buddy - I AM ADDICTED! I just can’t get enough out there. It is so peaceful and free. I had knew Wisconsin had amazing nature but I’ve seen so many things just this summer that I had no idea…like National Geographic level stuff…where right there. All day at work in my cubicle all I can think about is the trail. I am logging my miles and increasing my distances. Your book was just really inspiring for me. Quickly into your book I decided to start planning my first overnight on the IAT and I am super pumped. I am so jealous of your opportunity! What an adventure! And also doing it at your age gives me great hope. I have about 18 years left in my cubicle but my current plan is to leave on the AT on day one 😄. In the meantime, I hope to section hike all of the IAT here in Wisconsin over the next few years. Thank you for writing your lovely book. You are an inspiration to us all.

Reckless, as commented on one of your other videos, I completed my AT thru hike this year; turning 67 at Harpers Ferry. Really liked your RUclips channel - funny and lighthearted and not afraid to make fun of yourself. Got the book (to support you) and read the entire think last night while sitting in our small RV on a three week trip. Brought back lots of memories; some good and some not so good. I’ll be honest, I’ve enjoyed your videos much more than the book. Didn’t see much of your funny side in the book but maybe my perspective was a bit off since I completed the trail this year. It would definitely be valuable for anyone planning their 2024 hike.

Thank you

Thanks Hero

Thank you

Awesome book!!! Loved it!!

Wow, wow, wow. This is my all time favorite summiting video. Fantastic! Congratulations on your achievement and many thanks for the extraordinary effort you put in to sharing your experiences and making these videos.

Produce bags and Shamwow!!! Excellent!

Great tips!!!

Daddy long legs definitely lost a little weight since I last saw him at Grayson Highlands

Wow, nice to see daddy long legs and honey bun again. Thanks again for filming your 2021 hike.

Just read your book, now I'm watching the videos. Thank you so much for sharing your journey! I live in PA near this area. Cumberland valley. The crops you were wondering about? Soy beans.

I remember that self serve store! That was a nice treat, but it looks like you missed the cookie lady?!? thanks again for all these wonderful videos of the hike.

When I remember NY state I remember water the color of ice tea, tannin from the decaying trees.

Thanks for taking the time to film and produce your video's.

Enjoyed the book and am looking forward to reliving the hike through your series. Gramps AT21

Kevin - your video was a bit of inspiration for me. I started my own AT through hike on 16 Feb 2023 and hit the summit of Mt. Katahdin on 18 July, just about five months and two days. I’m an old guy as well and in fact I turned 67 on 1 May at Harpers Ferry. It was a hell of an experience, restored my faith in humanity, met some great people - through hikers, section hikers and a host of Trail Angels and have some great memories.

I found your videos from the book! I will watch the videos after I finish it. Great so far! planning on hiking it in 2029 when I retire!

i bought book and really enjoying it. You are like the 6 Million dollar Man. bionic. congratulations.

Lol protein

Just amazing!

Enjoying your book.

Watching this today as my son “Stickers” is climbing Katahdin. He started Feb 18. Watching your videos last year helped me mentally prepare. Watching along with his journey this year was a joy. Thank you !!

Just one question. Why go with the unscented bath soap?

Would a length of paracord for hanging stuff to dry be worth the weight?

Just finished your book! Really enjoyed it! . 😊

Would a length of paracord be worth the weight for hanging wet gear?

I follow a couple RUclips AT hikers every year and heard about your book this year (2023) while watching Renee/Couch to Trail. I read your book and had so many laugh out loud moments, that of course, I had to look up your channel and binge watch all the videos of your hike which resulted in more moments of laughter. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your book and following up with the videos. I learned so much from you that I had never heard or seen before in any other books or videos. I hope to hike the AT one day once my kids are raised and out of the house, but until then I am living vicariously through everyone else. Thank you for the wealth of information about the AT along your journey and I really enjoyed your positivity and joyful moments.

Great read!!! Thanks for sharing your story!

That intro was amazing. Great video!

What an awesome channel!

This video is so fun! Thank you for the knowledge!

You would be great on Survivor!!

This was helpful. I’m 65 with a slightly younger “boyfriend” starting the AT sobo July 1st. This is the first video on your channel I have watched. Now I’m going to watch them all so I can learn about what I am in for. TY

Nice!😊

LOVE your videos…straight forward, to-the-point, packed with information. Thank you for sharing! 😊

😂😂😂

AWESOME!!! I'll get an autographed book, and I definitely want you to narrate the audiobook!!!

Congratulations!!! Just ordered ebook

Just finished....a great read and for those interested in the AT or more importantly for anyone planning the journey, a by-the-mile, blow-by-blow. Great whit and humor. And also a nod to the kindness and generosity of strangers on trails everywhere. As someone who followed your RUclips posts during your walk, it was great to remember it once again!

Congratulations!

I've just finished the first 50 pages and have found it to be the read I fully expected by Reckless Abandon. The chapter on Pooping reveals the humor about the most mundane and common daily tasks one normally takes for granted. Well done and looking forward to taking up the rest of the story!

How about that! You wrote a book of your adventures. I am proud of you man. Can’t wait to see what you have to say about laundry rooms, and urgent care facilities!

I'm first in line for 2 autographed copy. One for me and my co worker!! You are such an awesome story teller so I just know its going to be great! 👏!! Let me know how to pay you and I will be waiting paitently!! Oh update we have listed our house so we can begin working towards dream of a thru hike!!
