I LOVE your vlog! I appreciate how you show us the details - the different types of privy's (or is it privies?), the bear box, the shelters, the bunk rooms, of course the interesting stuff on trail - you are a great vlogger! Just found you today. Liked, subscribed, and can't wait to follow your journey! P.S. I'm a solo day hiker who is dreaming of becoming a thru hiker🤗🩷🥾🌳🪻🦌
Your doing great and seem to be loving it. Stay safe and strong. It's a pleasure to follow you along on this epic journey. God bless your hike 🙏🙏🙏❤️🥾🥾✌️☕
Awesome start on trail except the weather. That moment when strangers find you talking to yourself in the woods. Priceless.😎 Nice video edit. Doing a little binge hiker watching this morning. 🌲👍
Just discovered this vlog, my only knowledge of the Trail is through the Bill Bryson book. I look forward to your adventures and determination in completing the trail. Stay safe and well from the UK.
On day 1, after hiking the approach trail, not to mention the rigors of just getting to Amicalola, instead of a hissy fit, meltdown, going all haywire or sobbing about the conditions, she smiles and says: "I'm right where I want to be." This girl has thru-hiker blood coursing through her veins.
O boy it's " on " now !!! It's official, the archhas been walked under, the stairway to heaven has been hiked !! The book is now had ur name added 🎉😂 👍🏽✅ AND, very important u have been , " poured " on 🤯 ( thus my earlier post on watching out for slippery roots 🙃 ) Great job 👍🏽 Audrey !!! To much food is is a right of passage Lol 😅. Better chow down so pants have sumptin to " hold on " to ha, ha ! ATB girl !!!! And keep on rocking the free world 👏
As a fellow educator, I’ve subscribed to watch your journey! When you have down time, can you share an updated gear video and maybe the changes you’ve made to stay warmer at night?
Glad you are on the trial and enjoying your hike! Your pronunciation of Dahlonega is hilarious! Keep on hiking. Looking forward to following your adventures on here.
It took me a second too, to figure out where you stayed. Not to be THAT guy, BUT those of us from GA phonetically pronounce Dahlonega- Duh-lawn-a-ga. Safe travels, look forward to seeing you reach Maine.
I was wondering about you, I hadn't seen any videos. I'm glad to hear you're out and about and doing well. No one really talks about the bunk rooms or shelters, is it hard to sleep around so many strangers? God Bless.
Hey Audrey..just caught your vlog. Went back to your first and really enjoy how you bring us all along on your adventure. I'm starting April 12 - hoping to miss the cold. Plz keep those trail hints coming in.
"Don't judge me..." No judgments at all. A big bravo to you for getting out there and getting going. All the best, stay safe and stay strong. Thank you for taking us all along on your adventure. I look forward to seeing how it goes moving northward. Jack NYC
To my favorite hiker of 2023 Off to a GREAT start, I see! So happy that you’re underway in your big adventure…So sorry about the rain. Just a typical start on the AT. Don’t stress about posting video. This is YOUR time. We’re just lucky that you’ve invited us along. Many RUclips hikers only post once a week or less. Some even wait until they’re finished and back home before they start posting. If you get a chance during one of your “zeros”, take a look at Twiggy Hikes the PCT. She has outstanding content, and will help you with the hike/vlog balance. You’re doing GREAT! Love your humor and your positivity…. Enjoy the trail and each new challenge you encounter. Keep on smiling! PEACE and TRANQUILITY
I have been watching 7 others vlog on the trail. Yours are superior because you condense everything. Most show endless views of trees (video doesn’t capture what is actually there!). Keep it up, good luck and stay safe.
Keep it up! I love watching your journey. You put your videos together so well. Great content. My favorites in this one is the hunger games, walking across the water on the tree stump, eating MCD, blooming onion and opening your first resupply. You are too funny! I love and miss you already.
OH wow. Let the fun begin. Now you are on the trail at last. Thank you for the videos and telling us about your adventures. I look forward to following you all the way !!!
Congrats on starting your journey. Your humor on trail is great. Loved the Hunger Games intro and the blooming onion ice needles. Your students are going to love following along with you. So am I. Go Missouri! You have a fellow Missourian ahead of you vlogging her posts, Jordan Hikes. Looking forward to following along on your adventures.
V logging is a lot of work. You're working pretty hard just hiking the trail. Thanks for the updates. Hey! Those hashbrowns are pretty good 😊. Happy trails!
LOL at the McDonalds. :-) Hiker hunger is REAL. It's amazing how one's tastes change out on the trail. You're doing great! Thanks for taking us along on your journey!
Congratulations on your impressive start. I've been wondering about you since I started watching a few hikers that started a few weeks earlier. That positive attitude will carry you far as your adventure unfolds.
Hey! I don't know if you know this, but just cinching down the elastic in the foot box of the enlightened equipment quilts doesn't close the gap all the way. I had to put a sock in there to get an air-tight seal - after I did that my feet were much warmer. I also found that my quilt did better when I wrapped it around me with my pads underneath. Looks like you're doing awesome! Hope to see more videos!
This is your time for the “adventure of a lifetime “. Vlog when you want and what you want. It is a privilege that you are taking us viewers along. Hike on Audrey!
Ahhh…I could tell you are a teacher without seeing your previous videos but I did backtrack. I retired from teaching a little less than two years ago and do day hikes only. Not a fan of tenting. Plus I have oodles of pets. I look forward to following you on the trail.
Thank you for your support! 💜 I had a little bit of everything from McDonald’s. I’ll give the class a shout out in an upcoming video! I’m missing them! I’m glad that you guys are watching.
Hike your own hike. Don't worry about what the viewers might think. It probably would be fun to be in your class, based on your video, so far. Stay safe. You will be in our prayers every night.
looking forward to watching your journey! you are representing our state well! Wish I could say, see you on the trail, but I am starting next month about 1000 miles ahead of you at Harper's Ferry! best of luck, enjoy the trail, will make one heck of a show and tell for your next class!
You're off to a good start. Don't let vlogging ruin your adventure. Shoot lots of raw footage, store it in two separate places, and post when you can. If you are cold at night you could by a cheap fleece throw blanket and use it inside your sleeping bag to gain about 10* of comfort. If you find that you need hand warmers a lot buy a Zippo Pocket Warmer that burns lighter fluid. It is warmer, cheaper after many uses, and more environmentally friendly than the single use warmers. Nice video. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick
You will eat all of that food! Your hiker hunger will kick in in about a week. Wait until you get to New England and you get real excited about a McDonalds and go in an blow a $20 bill! Good luck, listen to your body! That's probably the best advice I can give you. BTW, it looked like a coyote track. geek, A.T. '90 & '02, PCT '08
Great that you got started...was waiting for it...your doing great. Looks like your having fun. Keep it up and thx for letting me hang with ya. Stay safe and healthy. And stay dry...lol.. need a trail name...? Taylor nahamshas back on the AT for the 2nd time so maybe you 2 may run into each other. Peace.
Hi Audrey. Great that you want to share your trip with us. 🙂 Just a heads up though: I don't know your water filter in details, but it looks like you're using it the wrong way? And then I don't think it will clean very well. Maybe worth checking out? Good hike from Lothar Finn, Denmark.
@@AudreyGibson573 will continue to watch! It’s so exciting to see someone just abandon their day job and go try something so incredible and awe inspiring. I hope this journey brings you everything you wanted out of it. Happy trails 🙌
I just wanted to say good luck on your hike and that it might be a good idea to wait a few days before posting your vids. Why give potential creeps an idea of where you are in real time?
That pizza is awesome trail magic 👣💕
I LOVE your vlog! I appreciate how you show us the details - the different types of privy's (or is it privies?), the bear box, the shelters, the bunk rooms, of course the interesting stuff on trail - you are a great vlogger!

P.S. I'm a solo day hiker who is dreaming of becoming a thru hiker🤗🩷🥾🌳🪻🦌
Nice video with some good views, that was a big water fall, so let's keep on hiking. Lots of cold nights..
Brrr 🥶
Your doing great and seem to be loving it. Stay safe and strong. It's a pleasure to follow you along on this epic journey. God bless your hike 🙏🙏🙏❤️🥾🥾✌️☕
I'm glad to hear you survived the walk anywhere in Sandy Springs. Drivers b crazy
It sure is gorgeous when the sun is out....u got this. " it's nothing but a step for a stepper".. whoop whoop
🙌🏼
Nice video! ❤ Be careful and enjoy your hike.

The food box! 😂 Looks like something I would do and quickly regret. Lol. But, at least you saved some money.
Great start Audrey.
Thank you Jim!
Excited to follow along with you! Be carful cooking in your vestibule! 😮
Yes, I have to be careful that I don’t catch anything on fire or melt anything. 😝
Love your videos, I started watching you about 2 weeks ago, now I’m starting from your first day and will hopefully catch up. Best of luck
Just discovered this vlog, my only knowledge of the Trail is through the Bill Bryson book. I look forward to your adventures and determination in completing the trail. Stay safe and well from the UK.
Bon Voyage and Godspeed
Thank you Paul!

Thank you, Jessica!
The "don't judge me" though 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Congrats on the start!
Hey Great job!! hang in there! Thats not a bear track..looks like a mountain lion track to me..maybe a big dog...Keep Smiling and enjoy your journey!
Good luck on your journey! 😊🙏🥾🏕️

That was a dog print. They have four tows and a bear has five toes.

I love mickey dee's and haven't been there in a year....because I'm trying to eat healthy... nice job on the video !! thank you for sharing it.
Thank you, Bill! I got talked into downloading the app. Mistake! They’re always sending me coupons for free food. It’s a trap! 😅
I was wondering about you, I hadn't seen any videos. I'm glad to hear you're out and about and doing well.

Thank you! 😝
Happy trails! I’m looking forward to following your adventure.
I’m glad to have you following along Rachel!
Congrats on getting STARTED on your big adventure. Vlogging weekly is smart. Better work / life balance. 😎. Looking forward to following your journey.

Like the look of your tent! Glad I found your channel, and how nice of those spring breakers to bring pizza👏👏👏

Thank you!
What a great first video. That storm sounded intense. Cheers to you. Looking forward to more trail videos.
Thank you!
I think you’ll find you’ll find your appropriate vlogging level as you go. HYOH as it were.

I want to finish in August… once I get going, I will need to average 15 mile days.
Good first day, be safe!😊

Hi Audrey.
Great that you want to share your trip with us. 🙂
Just a heads up though: I don't know your water filter in details, but it looks like you're using it the wrong way?
And then I don't think it will clean very well. Maybe worth checking out?
Good hike from Lothar Finn, Denmark.
I think you did it right 2nd time. 💚
Thank you Lothar!
You are very adorable on camera, but don't let vlogging stress you out. Do what you can and record for your own memories. You are doing great!
Thank you Liz!
Great video, it is okay that you don't vlog everyday. We don't need 30 minutes of daily wind noise. 🙂
Love the Hunger Games reference. 🥾🥾
😅
So proud of you Ms. Gibson! Missing you working ASAP 😂
Hi Drake! I know you’re holding down the fort. I hope all is going well! It’s great to hear from you. 💜
Great video, can't wait to follow your journey.
Thank you Jason!
What is your fav hiker meal so far ?
I’ve loved the EPIC bars, beef jerky, and bone broths you sent! I’m still exploring a variety of dinners. I’ll have to get back to you!
Your students will love this
I hope so! 💜
Love the ear warmers
Thanks! They’re called ear bags. I really like that they keep the wind out of my ears!
May the odds be ever in your favor..!
