I LOVE it Throttle.... A cameo message from Dixie and he did your laundry??? True love young lady...LOL...Dixie is always right, 1 foot in front of the other will get you where you need to go.
Wow! Your Hubby did good! So nice to see. Dixie, AND laundry. Spectacular! As for my EE quilt, I'll have to check my attachment straps. I'm a side-to-side sleeper, too. The two quilts together should keep you toasty. Good luck, we're cheering for ya!
Oh so amazing! Your husband sounds like he is so involved in and supportive of your journey. You are a blessed woman! And the message from Dixie - that's just excellent! Enjoy the smokies!
You guys are blessed to have each other and now you have Dixie as a cheerleader🤘🏻. Doesn’t get any better than that. You’ve got this and happy trails 😎🥾🏕
My wife works in a nursing home 12 hour shifts at night. I do laundry for her. That is true love. Your lucky to have each other, just like we are lucky to have each other.
Sweet!! Your husband rocks! Getting Dixie to send you such a cool message is definitely a great Valentine's Day gift. Why can't RUclips let me give this 10 thumbs up!
Omg I can't believe he asked Dixie to send you an encouraging message like that !! True love right there, keep your spirits high, love watching your videos !!
Wow! How cool of both Dixie and your husband. Can't even imagine how psyched you must be!!! Talk about motivation! Good Luck in the Smokies! You got this girl! Enjoying your videos!
What a great husband you have!! Loved all the encouragement from Dixie! Stay warm and like she said take a zero when you need to rest. We are following you One step at a time! But more important is for you to stay healthy in mind and body. 🙏 😊❤️ Good luck in the smokies!
It’s so amazing he got Dixie to urge you along!! She’s so so so cute. & every Marmont piece I’ve here here fails in real conditions. I stick with cottage gear, Frog Toggs or Patagonia. & I LOVE my Western Mountaineering bag and it only 4 oz more than my quilt…..
Tossing and turning is just your body up and put in some miles. You have it to the point where is working well with your mind. Husband did good with Dixie, what a surprise . Travel safely and enjoy every view you are blessed to experience. Happy Trails!!!!!
So very cool that Dixie sent you the encouragement video! Your husband is a good man to arrange that! You beam when you talk about your family…your whole face lights up! 👍 Thank you for sharing your AT experience with all of us. I am a gal around your age, but health-wise not currently able to hike anymore. But I miss the woods and my past time alone there so very much. The mountains call, and I need to eventually find a way to go! 😊Watching your videos and those of other thru hikers allows me to live vicariously through your adventures. So thank you so much. I look forward to every video! 😊
he is a keeper for sure. what a great gift!! what a wonderful person she is for doing it too. You really do have so many cheer leaders just keeping doing what you can do each day and take your time we will all be here to cheer you on.
An appearance and well wishes from Dixie! Now that had to have raised your spirits for sure. You know you've made it to the big time on the AT when Dixie stops in! Your husband sure did great on that stop into town!
That was awesome...you are doing crazy good and Dixie is absolutely the best...I have her to blame for my obsession with the AT and my future thru hike attempt in 2023...great job Keith you take the gold medal for Valentines presents...good luck in the Smokies...stay safe.
Oh my goodness! What a sweet husband you have! ❤ I cried with happiness for you. We all love Dixie. Thank you Dixie for that wonderful pep talk! God bless you Throttle, with a safe and happy journey.
What a great thing for your husband to do for Valentines. That was so thoughtful of him. And good job by Dixie to send you that great message. She's great!
Loving your trail and story I watch when on the cross trainer in UK so it makes my session go faster 👍 So please to see Dixie's message to you. Thank you for doing this and allowing us all to share in your incredible experience 💞💞
Dang Dixie was all gussied up and looking good :) That's a special moment and when the days get hard you'll have this to push you through. What a wonderful gift - tell your husband good work as that couldn't have been an easy task. You are doing great and it's a joy to watch your hike proceed. Keep up the hard work and enjoy.
Wow! A cameo by Dixie!! That is a great gift and what encouragement she gave you:) I’m a side sleeper too, so went with NEMO Forte- it had vents to allow us to turn and sleep. It sounds like you are all set though with your extra bag. 🥾😊
Amazing!!! See so many of these Cameo things where people churn out standard messages - Dixie does a personal message/therapy session/pep talk and valentines all rolled into one, that was incredibly heartfelt and personal. Loved that, as you did! I'm NOBO from early April, so thanks also for you for trail inspiration and fun and enjoyable vlogs. Keep safe, and happy trails!!
How awesome 😎. I love Dixie and she’s the reason I’m going. At the end of her trail one of her buddies said “if you can walk and quit your shitty job for 6 months you can do it “ I’m going in 23 and I’ll be 61. You got this 👍
I had the same problem with my EE Revelation 20*. When I rolled over cold air would get sucked inside the quilt. I sent it back and got the EE Convert that has a full length zipper instead of the short one. I had to pay the difference in price only. The 20* bag was still a little cold for me so in the Smoky's I added a 1 pound down quilt and sent that home when it got warmer. It was so cool to get that video from Dixie. I still remember her first video starting the AT 🙂
Did you freak when you seen the video?? 😲 She REALLY sent a nice cameo, usually they're short and sweet. That was fantastic encouragement! She's awesome! And so are you!! You've got this! Sending greetings & well wishes from Florida! Can't wait to see you arrive at Katahdin!!💪🎒🥾🚶♀️
Just an FYI...I talked to a lady at the Smokies when I called in to ask a few questions about the permit, and she told me that a lot of people do choose to put up their tent or hammock instead of sleeping in the shelter. I wanted to make sure they wouldn't be militant about going inside if you prefer your own tent.
Frogg Toggs are Great! I have the pants and jacket, mine was great as well on my motorcycle in the cold. So Great seeing Dixie on there supporting you, You are going to do great!! Blessings and Happy Trails!!
Good call on the Frogg Toggs. I've used them in the place of far more expensive rain gear and they just plain work. And last. Oh, and congrats on the personal from Dixie! Your husband is a keeper.
I LOVE it Throttle.... A cameo message from Dixie and he did your laundry??? True love young lady...LOL...Dixie is always right, 1 foot in front of the other will get you where you need to go.
Aww, husband gets a trail magic award for sure! Super sweet
Awesome surprise from your husband. Dixie had some good positive things to say. One foot in front of the other!
Wow! Your Hubby did good! So nice to see. Dixie, AND laundry. Spectacular! As for my EE quilt, I'll have to check my attachment straps. I'm a side-to-side sleeper, too. The two quilts together should keep you toasty. Good luck, we're cheering for ya!
What a great present from your husband to have Dixie give you a personal message. Good call on the gear & can’t wait for the next chapters.
Oh so amazing! Your husband sounds like he is so involved in and supportive of your journey. You are a blessed woman! And the message from Dixie - that's just excellent! Enjoy the smokies!
So so very proud of her 😁

Nice of Dixie to say hello and encourage you on this adventure !! Enjoying your videos !!

Been enjoying your videos..hope the weather is treating you well as you pass thru the smokies
I had the same problem with my EE Revelation 20*. When I rolled over cold air would get sucked inside the quilt.

How nice of Dixie, her hike has inspired me
Did you freak when you seen the video?? 😲 She REALLY sent a nice cameo, usually they're short and sweet. That was fantastic encouragement! She's awesome! And so are you!! You've got this! Sending greetings & well wishes from Florida! Can't wait to see you arrive at Katahdin!!💪🎒🥾🚶♀️
hooray for Dixie! Great videos - keep hiking
You are amazing lady!! Praying you stay warm.
Been following you since the beginning that is so cool to have Dixie talk to you she is an amazing hiker be safe be strong God bless
Wow true love AND Dixie! Life is good!
Nice to see Dixie 'Gussied up'; she wears it well.
Look out for hail in the smokies it comes out of nowhere. Haha good job slow down a little bit and enjoy this part and meet someone to hike with.
Just an FYI...I talked to a lady at the Smokies when I called in to ask a few questions about the permit, and she told me that a lot of people do choose to put up their tent or hammock instead of sleeping in the shelter. I wanted to make sure they wouldn't be militant about going inside if you prefer your own tent.
Love it, pretty sweet video. They just seem to be getting better and better.
Awwwwwwwwwwww...so cool! And she's right. You can do this!!
Your husband is a Rockstar!
You are such an inspiration to me and I'm sure to so many more.
JUST WOW!! Keith you are the MAN :) we all have something to live up to know :)
Thank you so much 360! I’m sharing a hike with her tomorrow…. Can’t wait!!!
Frogg Toggs are Great! I have the pants and jacket, mine was great as well on my motorcycle in the cold. So Great seeing Dixie on there supporting you, You are going to do great!! Blessings and Happy Trails!!
THROTTLE ON!!! Great video.
Good call on the Frogg Toggs. I've used them in the place of far more expensive rain gear and they just plain work. And last. Oh, and congrats on the personal from Dixie! Your husband is a keeper.
Sounds like some really smart and strategic gear change outs nice job!
That’s so awesome!
So precious!
You have a great husband! Glad you got to spend some time with him.
You have really an amazingly supportive husband :)
Dixie! Well that was cool as hell.
👊🏻
