You showed your character and he showed his. I think we know who shines.
THIS⬆️
There are no words to describe how I feel about this beautifully done documentary. Let me just say that I am sure I will watch it many times over for inspiration, for the scenery and even for a good cry. Your RUclips family loves you, Beulah. Thank you for sharing your story.
Me too , my son and I are rewatching it in a few minutes, there are so many emotions running through me right now
My third time....
I do, so agree ... There are humans we all met along the way, and some like you want to know more.
Back then, I was SO FURIOUS with him for waiting until your big moment to do this! Why it couldn't have waited one more day??? His loss...I am so happy to see you doing much better now. The world is your oyster. Loved the documentary. Have you thought about doing another trail sometime? If so, we'll be here! Love you!
The trail called her and she answered, I’m excited to see how god uses her !!!!!!
Exactly… How incredibly self-serving and selfish to take away from the climatic end of a triumphant journey. That shows me what a selfish person this man is. And your videos are so raw and honest, I just know that you are the sweetest, kindest human being, and you certainly did not deserve that. I have a few choice words that I would like to use, but I’m not going to… Because we’re not gonna add his fame. But choosing that day, that moment… Selfish, narcissistic, and just plain mean. And those people that you’ve lost… Well, I guess they may have done you a favor. Because someone like you does not need people like that in their life. OK girl! Where to now?
It is amazing how mad I am at him. When she first announce at the end her hike I was mad then and really still am. I wish her the best of luck.
That cruel act says everything about who he is and reminds everyone how better off she is without him.
When the summit was postponed a day ,how was he to spend the night without telling her ?
I’m glad you hung in there kid. You were a bright spot for me driving my big rig across the country last year. Thank you and don’t lose that smile.
Beulah, my husband and I followed you every step of the way from Georgia to Maine, and I loved this beautiful documentary. I’m so glad you’ve made a fresh start! And I’m still so disgusted that your ex poisoned your triumphant finish to the trail. As you hinted, I have to believe that your intuition told you something was wrong, and that’s part of why you felt so sad after NY. Anyway, I wish you the very best out of life! If you ever want to try the Allegheny Trail in WV, my husband Stormy Weather (Jim) and I would be happy to shuttle you and provide a serene spot for zero days. Please don’t be a stranger to RUclips! You have brought joy to so many people through your videos. I’m rooting for you!
I agree with you !
100% ❤
Yeah, it does make you wonder, picked up something in his voice perhaps. A couple of us noticed the other woman in the NY vlog didn't seem too happy, Maybe she knew something or just coincidence.
Disgusted...that's understated...
Could be part of it,but she lost her tramily when she went to NewYork and was hiking alone.
For almost 2,200 miles, you had your sights on Katahdin. After all the struggles and triumphs, you reached Baxter State Park. After your world fell apart, you went to Mama K. As you touched the sign, Mama K provided the setting where you rose as a queen. No one can ever take that away from you.
Beautiful documentary. We love and support you. #ATStrong
Your last few moments of your hike were the most powerful for me. I needed to make a decision in my life and you have given me the answer I have been so longing for, I need the AT,.March of 2025 I will do my best to complete the AT. Thank you!! I needed this more than you will know.
Let’s call it Trail Magic ❤️ Wishing you all the best in your journey!
Cya on the trail in 2025 perhaps :) Also planning my (first) thru hike on the AT in 2025. Not entirely sure of the start date yet. So many considerations play into it. Wishing you the best on your hike!
As long as you might want to share your path forward, girl, we would be honored to tag along and to continue supporting your channel. Heck, there are supporters on here who would gladly host you for a walkabout their towns and countryside. You could continue the documentary as a testament to the strength we give one another. Who knows, you may just find your forever love within the journey🌺🌷🌺
Oh Beulah! This is the most beautiful documentary on the internet! The memories you brought back to me were joyous! Your sense of humor and wit is endless and you are a RUclips Icon, one of the best! You will find happiness again. You say you are not a lyricus or song writer? Wrong! That was absolutely beautiful as it comes from your heart, and you have a beautiful voice, and you should pursue this to the music industry. It is a winner! WE ALL LOVE YOU BEULAH...NEVER FORGET THAT!
Every Word you stated is so true of this young lady !! Beautifully said..
Thank You so much, we all love her!@@jackratcliffe2916
I think you were less than a week into your hike when I found your videos. I was sad for you each time you found yourself hiking alone, worried about the rain in New England, and cried when you summited.
You grabbed my heart like you have many people that you never will know. You have done something many people will never do.
That kind of positive energy is too powerful for weak men.
Cheers to the most jovial hiker to complete the AT! 😊 May you continue to heal BB. Take every ounce of your power back and let it be a beacon to the new things you will surely conquer. Beautiful documentary! ✌️
Bad Bat is back! You were missed!
Before commenting, I had to get up and walk around after your documentary. I am so proud of you and have followed throughout your hike. So proud that you did not let him take control. You finished your hike like the strong determined woman you are. I love how real you are and I think over 5,000 followers see that too. We have your back. Take care and fly bad bat!
Yes I agree , she can hide her emotions well , but I suspected something tho , HES A REAL SOB
Bad Bat, you are truly an inspiration!!!This is by far the best AT documentary on the internet!!! Your journey has prepared you for anything you might face in life!! Remember Romans 8:28 KJV "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Your best days are ahead. Don't waste time looking back. You have a bright future ahead of you. You are extremely artistic and talented. My wife , daughter and myself watched every episode of your journey and now your documentary. You are absolutely the Queen of the Appalachian Trail. We would love to meet you if you are ever in North Georgia. God Bless you Bad Bat!!🙏🙏
Great film BadBats, you caught the essence of what doing something extraordinary actually means to the person doing it.
I watched your videos late, well after you finished, in blocks.
I saw the change in you, the maturity develop, the ability to cope with whatever life threw at you come to the surface. I know it was hard for you, but losing trail friends and yet carrying on and finding new people to connect to is an invaluable life lesson.
One that will hold you in good stead now.
I can't help but feel that the whole of your journey was actually preparing you for the betrayal. You have something now that is entirely yours, something to build on. The kind and helpful people on trail plus your followers on here wish you the best, weigh that up against the actions of one jealous person who acted selfishly.
That second part makes so much sense.
This was fantastic. I’ve been following you since you were on the trail on day one and my heart broke for you many times along the way. I hate to see you alone when you needed somebody. I hated what he did to you and thought how dare he tried to steal your victory. But you proved him wrong and the people that betrayed you. You are a true champion and I’ve said this on some of your previous videos, and I mean this, you are a true champion and a wonderful human being. You have a RUclips trail family standing by your side. We love you, Beulah, a.k.a. bad ass bad bat.🦇❤ Kevin
Oh my!! Crying as I write. This I’m so sorry for your betrayal and cruelty u endured.
U are a strong woman and I pray for your strength and health.
I watched your AT hike from the beginning. Thanx for taking us along.
What a fantastic documentary! You were my absolute favorite hiker last year, and I watched every episode from the very beginning. I laughed and cried with you and never had a moment's doubt that you would make it, even in an atrocious weather year. I was stunned, STUNNED, by the events at the end. I can't imagine what you have been through. But you are so strong, and nothing can take away your accomplishment and your pure joy. Best of luck to you. Please let us know your next adventure. I know there are so many good things in your future.
That was an absolutely beautiful documentary. I watched your whole AT journey as it was happening, having no idea what you were going through, although as I watched your two attempts to climb Kathadin, I felt that something was wrong. I have been through the kind of heartbreak you experienced, and I know, as you do too, that life is stronger than betrayal. You have a bright, bright future.
Beulah, a wonderful documentary! I truly wonder how many folks you inspired to hike the AT or do any thru hike for that matter…? I have to say something and please know I don’t know how YOU feel, only you know that, but please may I offer some hard learned advice?
I too know a thing or two about that gut wrenching pain. The kind where the world suddenly shifts, tilts on its axis. You rack your brain trying to figure out what you did wrong, signs you missed, etc. Then you realize, although there is always room for improvement - that betrayal…? That is a BIG soul issue in them and there isn’t a THING you could have done to stop it. I can promise you that is something only God can heal in them. Bc ultimately that is a heart issue you had nothing to do with. Now - it may take some time - but do me a favor. Don’t become bitter. Look for the blessings in what has changed - focus and think on the good. When you start to hurt or feel pain - allow it, and then do like Christ said and take your thoughts captive. You can’t control what pops in your head, but you can control whether you mull it over or change your minds direction. It will get better over time, and yeah, you may have hiccups too. But set your jaw like flint, do not let the evil and the pain win. Do not. And although it seems cruel, and totally unfair - be patient. Stay kind, stay happy - you for sure have some battle scars now, but you are so dang much tougher than you ever knew. You completed the AT! That takes some grit girl! When it rained, when your body hurt, when you puked your guts out in a hotel. You got up and you kept going. Why? Because THAT is who you are! You are an amazing athlete, person, friend, woman. What people do to us does NOT define us. How we scrape ourselves off the ground and how we decide to treat others does. Be the change you wish to see in the world. And remember darkness doesn’t like the light. And you my friend…well you are of the light! Love and prayers - so so proud of you. And P.S. you are one seriously bad bat!!!!❤
Pig Pen, Vegas and Globetrotter all returned to the internet in Pat Townsend's thru-hike videos, of course Pig Pen had her own vlog. Vegas even posted in the "announcement" thought he might have shown up for this chat. Always loved the scene w/BB and Pigpen twirling their trekking poles. Kind of amazed she caught up with Fresh Grounds six times, and all the times thru-hikers showed up in each other's videos. Gabby, Pig-pen, Taylor traded episodes and I think North Star summitted the day after BB although not mentioned.
BadBat!! This was a professional quality cinematic masterpiece! I was expecting just a compilation of the daily vlogs, but you turned this thing into a beautiful piece of art.
My heart was heavy the closer you got to Katahdin, knowing what was coming. You showed incredible restraint and composure in the summit day video - I think I would have pushed him off the mountain. But it seems like making this documentary really helped you reclaim your story and process your achievement, and I'm so happy for that. Remember these promises:
"When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up." Psalm 27:10
"God setteth the solitary in families...." Psalm 68:6a
We're your RUclips family and are happy to support you in whatever ways we can. And I'm so glad you're getting back out there doing trail magic and rediscovering community on the AT. Prayers & best wishes, Bad Bat!
Watching your documentary took me back to the trail .... Little did I know the ending would take me back to such a similar place/ feeling. While on trail stuck in Hot Springs in 2018 healing from an injury, I found my husband of 17 years was cheating(and had been for quite some time). This eventually took me off trail to sort my and our three children's lives. I too lost many friends and a feeling of belonging in my neighborhood, a town we had also built our home and set down roots. I share all this because I feel it is important to know we are never alone and that we are often more seen than we could fathom. I also share to give you peace in a deep knowing that there ARE no accidents. You were on trail to deepen your self love, resilience, passion for life, determination, confidence and resolve. Some people cannot hold our power. They cannot shrink their ego to handle our capacity to do big things while they are small. Still, we get to rise and be who we were intended to be, drawing those near to us who understand our spirit. I will also share that the past 6 years have been the most beautiful years of my life- traveling, healing, growing as and individual, being an example to others. YOU walked a path for 2200 miles that breaks many. It is a testament to your power and proof of the beauty that is to come in your one, amazing life. I send you so much love and so much light. YOU ARE WORTHY of ALL your heart can imagine and wish for. Like the Roller Coaster in VA.....life has so many ups and downs. The one thing we know is that if we hang on during the downs, life will surly take us back up. Best wishes, only always.
PS Your documentary was so beautifully created. JOB WELL DONE
This was incredibly well put together, thank you for watching the premiere with us. And of course for sharing your special AT journey. You are awesome!!! Go Bad Bat!!!
I love your documentary! I love the beginning, the middle and the end. You did something that so many would not want to do. At the end, all I can say, being older, is that getting rid of a loser who tells you what's up when you are at your most challenging part of the AT is better than spending years with him. He will end up miserable and making the people around him miserable. I would say to you, countinue to travel. I am not a thru hiker but I did hike the last 100 miles of the Camino de Santiago, in Spain I met so many people from everywhere. It was an amazing adventure. I wish for you many more adventures on whatever trail you choose.
Beautiful video! So well done. The actress you had play you in this film looks exactly like you, lol.
Congratulations on a film we'll done! This one will be in the books for future thru hikers to watch for years to come.
Great film! As I’ve grown older I’ve come to understand that the key to happiness and fulfillment in this long, weird trip we’re each on-together and alone-is weaving and savoring a tapestry of hope, moments, and memories. This film reflects a beautiful part of yours, and I’m sure you’ll return to its living subject often for joy, resilience, and understanding. A job very well done, and a dream truly fulfilled. Thanks for sharing. Bravo!
Loved it! So professional! Beulah/Bad Bat, you are an amazing woman. Your strength of character shines throughout this incredible journey on the Appalachian Trail. I trust that you will find all that you hope for as you walk on. Love and prayers. PrayerWalker 2013. 💕🙏
I just want to say how proud I am of you!! I was following your journey and was devastated to see it spoiled for you at the end. Good for you for changing the narrative to reflect YOUR accomplishment!! Having your heart broken and finding the strength in yourself to keep moving forward. What you lost was worth losing, what you are gaining can never be taken away!! Loved your song and your new attitude, you are empowering others along with yourself. Keep it pushing Beulah, you are a true survivor!!
You are one special young lady, my dear! There's no way that a kind, sweet, wonderful person like you doesn't find someone to love once again. This was incredible and I wish you nothing but the best, because the best is what you deserve!
NQU
Yay - nice to see us mentioned! We so loved having you, Bad Bat! Awesome documentary!! -- Chica
OK I laughed and I cried...😂😢 Thanks girl, it was great!👍 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for sharing both your trail and personal journey. As you are so intimately aware both the trail and life have much in common. A day at a time, sometimes a footstep, but you are moving forward. You are not along. God bless. Tod, in Idaho
Omg my wife is crying the good tears right now. Keep your head up and we are so happy that you kept your head up and took back your victory! Keep hiking we will see you on the trail!!
great to see you again
You are so cool! So great! Victory is yours! WOO!
I'm not very good with words, Bad Bat, but this documentary was so well done, and it made me cry. The ending was indeed bittersweet. It's as if you sensed what was coming when you felt depressed in New Hampshire, but your spirit continued to shine, and you never gave up your determination and your positive, can-do attitude. I cried watching you summit. I also felt so angry at him on your behalf. I thought to myself, how could he do this to you on what should have been one of the happiest days of your life? I am so sorry this happened to you. BUT you accomplished something few ever do: You are a thru-hiker, and your life going forward will be filled with many blessings, I just know it. You are such a great person and have so much to offer the world. God bless you and Happy Trails!
Love your sound effects and hootin and hollering
Thank you very much. You are a wonderful person. The song, your song made me think of Helen Reddy song " I am woman". Yes, you are very strong. Please keep us (your followers) informed. We love you. The four tops sang a song "reach out I'll be there". Change that to "We will be there" . Bad Bat , we are loyal followers all the way. Looking forward for your next video. God bless you 🙏
Bad bat, what a beautiful documentary! I watched you as you trekked the trail and appreciated your vulnerability and authenticity. As for what happened at the end…..his timing was VERY selfish and mean. Having been through it myself after 28 yrs of marriage, I feel your pain. Just know that you have inspired so many and are loved.
I am slowly section hiking the AT partially because of my divorce. I find it therapeutic and where I’ve found my faith again. Girl, you made it to your mountain! ❤
Terrific job! So glad you're back, and in a better place. Stay strong!
You rocked this Beula!! You accomplish so much and inspire so many! Here's to your future hikes and finding overwhelming happiness.!
Oh BB. We watch this documentary weeks before we begin our thru hike attempt. This was so good!!
We’ve been following you since your prep videos for the AT, then every video throughout your journey.
Thank you for taking us along. We learned so much and absolutely adore you. You inspired us!
We wish you the very best and hope to see more of your adventures. 💙
So well done! Thank you for sharing how STRONG you are in so many ways!!
Awesome. Thank you. May your future be filled with new adventures.
You are beautiful inside and out and I loved following your AT journey last year. I hope that in the big picture of life this will be a blessing.
You made me cry Bad Bat.....but I thank you for this. I watched your video updates live since you were in the Smokeys. Damn, lots of memories since then. Thank you for bringing this full circle. Happy trails my friend!
I followed you while you were on trail, and I love this documentary you have created. I hopeful for 2027. You seem to over ride all the suck of the AT and exude all the awesome emotion of it. You're an overcomer.
So Achingly beautiful , Beulah. I followed along the whole way, but this documentary… Just Wow! You’re a talented storyteller. I think you’ve unearthed another talent! I second others in saying that you should write a book. Even better, put it on audible!
I thought it at the time on your vlog, and I’m more convinced now…I think it was divine timing that the “news” hit before your summit. Your summit was you. Just you. The summit was the first of many great things awaiting you after that moment. I can’t wait to see the amazing things you’ll do next! Keep soaring Bat Bat! 🦇🌄💖
To You Beulah, Beautifully done!! Your video(s) and your completion of the AT are all your's. Best of luck in the future in everything you set your mind and heart to achieve! Thanks for all the enjoyment you brought to your YT family.
I’m so proud of you. I still say he is very selfish for doing this on what was supposed to be one of the best days of your life but you came out on top and way better off without him. You’re a winner and he is a big Loser. Big difference!
Beautiful lady, beautiful smile, beautiful heart ❤️
You are incredible. This documentary was incredible.
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE 🌞
Your documentary was AMAZING! You are a THRU HiKER of the AT! Something I dream of doing someday! You are going to do great things and meet great people and establish something better than before! I ❤❤❤your song! Best Wishes Bad Bat!
Well done! It's a huge credit to your character.
Great job Badbat. I thru hiked in 2022 and followed some of your journey in 2023. I’m disappointed I missed you while I was out doing trail magic. You are such an incredible strong and brave person. What an awful way to be treated in life in general and particularly at the end of your hike which was supposed to be a great day of celebration. I loved the way you have turned the negative into the positive person you are. Your story will turn out to be a great inspiration to others. Thank you for sharing!!!
Your best production thus far. Professionally illustrated, and well versed. Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo! Social. 😊
Wow! Bravo and we'll done. I followed your videos through last summer. I'm sorry for what you've been through. So much going on at one time. I hope you're in a good place mentally.
That was so amazing ! Thank you for sharing your story with us. The ups and the downs, the tribulations and the triumphs, the real and the raw. Geogia to Maine, never the same. No one can take that from you. It was such a pleasure meeting you during your journey. Keep doing you ! ❤
I am so sorry that you had to go through such a horrible time at such a beautiful time. I really enjoyed watching your journey last year. This documentary brought a whole new meaning to your AT thru hike. Thank you for sharing such a personal journey, hope this helps in your healing process. I am planning on hiking the AT in 2025, and I'll be bringing the tradition of "border booze", along with my thru hike attempt. You have been very inspirational for me.
My wife and I followed you all the way thru on "Your Hike" on the AT. You was strong and enduring during the times faced on the AT. Strong young lady and many would have quit when faced what you endured !! Your Smile and Never Quit Attitude was Gold !! Words can never express what you experienced but you showed courage to take it on and survive. Your path is clear now..Enjoy IT !! We Loved You ! Best Documentary I've seen in years .
Your documentary was amazing ! You captured your journey beautifully! I loved your honesty ! I shared your ups and downs and tears along side of you ! Thank you for sharing your adventure with all of us and let you know that you are loved by so many ! ❤
What an incredible film Beulah! This may be the best film I've ever seen about a thru hike. You made me laugh all over again with your insane sense of humor, reminding me of the first times that I saw these scenes. You made me cry at points when you thought that you couldn't go on. Such an emotional but triumphant part of your life. Bad Bat, you are a thru hiker. You did your time, you overcame adversity and the pretty smile I witnessed from Georgia to Maine constantly showed that you never gave up. Through all the adversity, you stayed the course. I am so proud of you! We've never met but you are a soul that I'll never forget. Thank you for letting me enjoy your hike for the six months that you were a Pixie in the woods, entertaining the world as you became stronger every day. I will miss you!
Live safe, Live strong, Have fun!
geek
You did a wonderful job with this - fully capturing all the ups and downs of the adventure, and coming out victorious in the end!
Loved the closing song. Did you write it? ❤❤
Hi Beulah, I just found this and want you to know that I have tremendous respect for you. The fortitude and courage it took for you to accomplish your goal is astounding to me. I’ll be praying that God shows you His plan for your life. Your journey blessed & encouraged me greatly.
So excited! This is going to be amazing!!
I'm not crying, just some dirt in my eye. Such a well done epic adventure chronicle. I am happy how you expunged that cheating turd from your memories of trail. Your song and this documentary must have been so very hard to put together emotionally but your spirit and grit shine through with out overshining the fact that you are a good and kind person. Best of luck in your future.
Well done! What a roller coaster of emotions on the last day. I feel for you. The absolute worst timing and horrible communication someone could do. But to know you can walk 2200 miles is empowering, and that probably scared his selfish ego. Onward to better things! Proud of you and thankful for you sharing your journey.
I literally cried watching this beautiful documentary you created for us. My husband of 7 years also left me for someone I once considered a friend, without any warning, so I could relate.
You are a brave soul! I have nothing but admiration and respect for you. I hope one day I have the courage and determination you had during your AT hike, to be able to attempt and complete my through hike of the AT that I keep dreaming about.
Sending love ❤
I am so excited that you are back. I start my hike in a week and I loved watching your journey. Getting ready to watch you doc.
What a great documentary. You proved your strength out there on the trail, and he proved his weakness. You need him like a moose needs a hatrack. I am so sorry for your pain, but the day will come when you realize this was the best thing that ever happened to you. If that is who he is, it is good you know now so you can find someone deserving of you. What a small, small man he is. What a powerful woman you are.
You are just so SUPER! Loved your trail documentary. Life will all work itself out for you. You are so very kind! Thanks for sharing. Love, Kevin
Hi badbat!! I loved this documentary!! Awesome!! Watching from THE GREEN DRAGON 🐉 HOSTEL the day before I enter North Carolina on my thru hike!!! One state down tomorrow!! You were an inspiration to me as I prepared for this!!! You are such a blessing to all AT Hikers!!
You are a true warrior. You are far more than what you left behind. You ARE an inspiration and beautiful soul.
Oh Beulah, I’m so glad you took that last moment back. He doesn’t deserve it. You do!
Wow such a powerful documentary BB. I really enjoyed your story and song. ❤ Hugs
A great story well told, your tragedy at the end is also your freedom. You stood alone on Katahdin, your story told, your accomplishment by you. Well done and whilst the pain is real, your strength is now greater.
Lots of love from a dumb old Aussie who hopes that everything good in this world you deserve, you get.
OMGosh…WONDERFUL!!! You are amazing!!!
BAAAAAAD BAAAAAAATTT! Oh my gosh, we missed you so much!!! I hope you got all my post-trail happy holiday messages: Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, etc. I was not about to lose touch even if you were no longer posting. I wanted you to know that wherever life was taking you, your digital tramily cared about you. I've thought about you so much over the months, too ("I wonder what BadBat is doing right now?") Not kidding! You are so loved. It was an honor to "hike" with you on RUclips. Love going back down Memory Lane in your documentary. Ok, I better get back to watching it. I dove right into the video but then I just HAD to stop at the half way point and say, "Hey!" 👋 I'll hop back on to this reply when I'm done. Once again you have lifted my spirits. Thank you, Double-B! 🦇💚🥾🥾💚SOCIAL!!!! 🤣🥃 Woo-Hoo! 🌲🌲🌲 PART 2: Oh my gosh, Bad Bat. I watched the 2nd half and the last segment was extraordinary. Thank you, SO MUCH, for taking your MOMENT & POWER BACK. When I followed you during the original hike, I was SO ANGRY at what "he-who-shall-not-be-named" had done to you that I wanted to jump through the camera and hunt him down. I was SOUL-CRUSHED FOR YOU. It was so painful to watch knowing what was happening that I can't even imagine how it felt. HORRIFIC is the word that comes to mind. I was very worried all through the months afterwards, too. Where will she go? What will she do? Is she okay? How can we help? So, to see you rise like a Phoenix from the ashes to create YOUR REAL ending to the AT was like the Balm of Gilead. I loved it. Love, Love, LOVED it. YOURS is the real story. And, your song was fantastic!!! I'm serious, it was so COOL. I was just grinning & crying & grinning & crying... You DID it BadBat. You conquered the trail and the mountain and without the AT, who knows what would have happened? By, the 2200nd mile, you had become a WARRIOR. A dyed-in-the-wool, BONAFIDE WARRIOR. And, no sick-a** disease of a failed man was gonna bring you down. I am deeply sorry for your losses, it's true. They are terrible losses. Terrible. But, now here you stand as a beacon for the rest of us. Those of us struggling with mental health (me), and all who suffer in a myriad of ways in this world. Now, when people ask me who my idol is, I can say unequivocally, "Well, that's easy... BadBat!" And, I ain't lying. I feared we'd never see you again after the AT and here you are... Brilliant. Upbeat. Positive. Accomplished. The documentary was UH-MAZE-ING. Really, really good. Such a treat for those of us who followed you on the og AT. I esp. loved the montage at the end of your feet walking on the different trail surfaces. That was BRILLIANT. So proud of you. SO, SO PROUD! BadBat in the HOWWWWZZZ! We love you! 💚🌲🦇🥾🦯⬆️
Great vid! Thanks! You'll do well! Very glad you decided to take us on your journey!
So glad to hear from you. I hope you are healing and doing well. Miss your enthusiasm.
i followed your hike on utube and just fell in love with your ability to authentically convey your story. Thrilled when you finished and devastated by your husband's selfishness and incredible poor timing! i am so happy you made this recap video as part of your self reclamation! keep going Bad Bat! the world needs more of you! thank you for sharing -- i am confident that you made an impact in many a life out there.
I am in awwwwww…. This was so good. love ❤ your spirit. And yes You can do hard things… and you have done hard things.. you will succeed in everything you do!
I am absolutely speechless. You
Should be so proud of yourself. Obviously from your completion of AT but this inspiring beautiful documentary. You convinced me last year to stop waiting for someone to hike with me and just start. Now I am officially a section hiker because of YOU! You are stronger and more powerful than you give yourself credit for. You are a force all your own. NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU. Be well and hope to have the pleasure of hiking along side you.❤Kim
You did a amazing job on your hike and this video, your a beautiful young lady, hope the best for you BB!❤
Wow Bad Bat, 14,000 views in only 6 days! Thrilled for you to have this recognition for what must have taken many many hours to put together. It’s a wonderful documentary for AT & all hikers of the present, past and future to enjoy.
welcome back I loved this documentary. I hope with each passing day you feel better. You are such a beautiful person and you deserve better than what he was. When you least expect it you will find your perfect person. Happy Trails and I hope to see more content from your adventures.
This was a great video. I enjoyed it all the way through. You are very strong!
Much love to you,

Nice video and nice to see you again, BB! Sorry to hear the bad news though. Hoping for the best for you.
Can’t wait!
I followed your whole adventure last year. It started a lot of days off for me. Coffee and the Bat. Thanks for taking us along. Thanks to you, I'll never walk into a grocery store without exclaiming. Let's party 🎉 . Stay strong, get out there, and remember time heals all wounds. Hope to see more adventures! Happy Trails 👣
Thanks again! It was great.
Very well done. Brought back memories of my own thru hike in 2015.
Beautifully done and wonderful song! My husband and I followed your hike last year. He is 78 and I am 76. I always wanted to do the AT but never got the chance. Thanks for taking us along. ❤

Good job B-AT. This is just a reminder we stronger then we think at times. You've overcame 2 extermly very difficult things. Unfortunately, there will be more come. It's been a joy following along your journey.
Great job putting this documentary together. Loved the song at the end. We followed you during your hike. I’ve thought of you often over the past months and prayed for you and hoped you were okay. The universe has something bigger and better in store for you. Hugs.
