    My wife is a badass! You dreamed of hiking the AT for several years now. You trained hard for it, you prepared for the weather, and you were physically ready to hit the ground with 15+ mile days. You knew the separation would be tough, but you gave it your best shot. At the end of the day the reality of an AT thru-hike didn’t live up to that dream. Although I’ll miss seeing your videos from the AT, I am so thankful that I can now join you on several of your section hikes. I’m thankful for the many hikes we’ll do this Spring as well as the 20+ miles we’ve already hiked since you’ve been home. You’re an amazing wife and an amazing mother. I’m so happy that our girls have such a strong and beautiful example for what a woman can achieve and when it’s time to let go of something that’s not making you happy. We love you and are proud beyond words. Now on to the next adventures….

      I called your wife a badass before I saw that you also consider her a badass, lol!

      Wishing you so many wonderful adventures together.

    Thank you for sharing your authentic self. We were not built for isolation. We were built for community - in person community. You are brave to go home and honor your truth. Good for you!!! LASH on or SASH on or day hike on. "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Live tomorrow and the next day and the next, welcoming each new day the same as you did on the trial, anticipating the each day's life adventures.

    I’m a 2021 AT thru-hiker and I felt just as you that the trail refilled my faith in humanity. The hiker community is FULL of kindness & compassion and I truly feel blessed to have experienced this amazing group of human beings.
    It’s not about how far you go, you walk your walk and when you feel done you stop. I applaud you for listening to your inner voice and I wish you many more adventures in the future. No matter what you have a story to add to your life.
    Smiles for miles
    All love

    So, you set out on a journey to hike the Appalachian trail. And you absolutely did that for 400 plus miles. It has been a journey nonetheless. What you got from this journey is priceless. If you took nothing else away from the trail, it taught you how much more enjoyable your life is at home. You have a great husband and a great family. You have an awesome life that this trail cannot compete with! Have fun on your many other adventures that are yet to come! Thank you for allowing us to follow along this journey. You have inspired us in so many ways! Maybe you will bring us along on some of your other adventures. You have been nothing less than awesome to watch. I'm sure you will do something amazing with the channel. And, I'm sure I will still be subscribed when you do. Thank you for everything!

    Thanks for taking us on the ride Throttle. It was fun while it lasted. There are times I find myself dreaming of being on the trail, but not sure I'd be able to make the entire journey. At the end of the day maybe it's not about finishing, but enjoying the journey while you are out there. Getting what we need from the adventure, then moving on to what's next in our lives. Best of luck to you in whatever you do!

  • @davidewise4516
    @davidewise4516 2 года назад

    I had to settle for LASHing the trail and completed it in 2020, after 7 years of chipping away at it. The experience was amazing and taught me that the trail experience is about so much more than thru hiking. I was able to enjoy the stoke and excitement anew each year. I had a new “tramily” each year and got to be a part of several years worth of thru hiking “classes.” I was able to provide trail magic to hikers here in NC, then see them farther up the trail. The list goes on and on.
    The trail is not going anywhere. You will get to continue to enjoy your engagement with it in new and surprising ways.

    “I think I’ll go home now.” Indeed. I understand well you have much to go back home to, and nothing that you have to prove to yourself, or us. It sounds like you got much from your journey. Perhaps all that you needed to gain and achieve, you have gained and achieved. (Self wisdom, strength, perspective, appreciation.) All the things we all hope to gain when we go out there. And you didn’t have to finish the whole trail to gain these things. You impressed us all with your resilience. I know we don’t know each other very well at all but I’m so proud of you! You made it far!
    As far as what to do after this... You could always come LASHing with me. :-) I go out every early summer, would be a lot of fun to knock out a couple of weeks together and then go back to our families. It’s a good life! :-)

    The through hiker life isn't for everybody. I accepted that a long time ago and now I'm a perfectly happy section hiker doing the Colorado Trail in bits and pieces, and if you feel "incomplete" because you didn't go all the way, you can always break it down into manageable pieces. Eat that elephant one bite at a time. That said, if you feel that enough is enough and you never want to be on the AT again, who cares? You've already accomplished something most people would find impossible. You have most definitely NOT "failed". I admire and respect your guts and stamina, both mental and physical. I've enjoyed following your journey, and wish I had half the strength and courage you've shown. Good luck and happy trails!

    ...Who knew ,, you found what Santa does in his off season ... lol......... the decision to take on a long trek and then make the decision to stop is Not throwing in the towel,, it's just "enough" ... before you spoke of Forest Gump ,, that's just what entered my thoughts "I think I'll go home now" ... I followed you because I saw an interesting woman ,, an interesting hiker pursuing a vision ...
    .... There are many trails to trek and not disrupt to foundation of your life and as hiking gives you a way to be part of your psyche,,, You are a strong beautiful spirit as the morning Owls had come to visit and bring a light to your day ,, an important day ,, to go home .. Much Respect to you .......God Bless .....

    You are such a beautiful soul! Thank you for this video and for showing us yourself, your emotions. This is also a real part of the AT. Not everyone continues their journey all the way to Katahdin, but after seeing so many AT vlogs I think that everyone, however long their AT journey, takes something away with them. It has been a pleasure following along with you. I wish you the very best in all your future adventures. You have a wonderful family! God bless!

We so admire your strength in honoring that your journey on the AT was complete. It's not always about going from point A to Point B. We both hope you CONTINUE to VLOG your hiking journeys.

    You and your videos will be greatly missed! But you accomplished more adventure in 27 days than some do in a lifetime! You should be super proud of hiking 420 miles!
    You mentioned hiking most of the Mountains to Sea trail so you probably are already familiar with Stone Mountain State Park in NC (not GA) The MST runs through the park. If you and your family haven’t already, camp and hike at Stone Mountain NC! I used to live in NC so it’s one of my favorite spots. The backcountry trail follows a creek most of the way and you can take a junction off that onto the MST and hike up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. And the top of Stone Mountain is super cool. 👍
    Well anyway, I hope you have lots more hiking adventures. If you feel like sharing those on RUclips we would love to see ya again! If not, best of luck in everything you do; throttle on! ❤️

    Amazing journey!!! What a lifetime experience. I’m even more impresed with you to be able to make the decision and have the courage to make tomorrow better! Enjoy your family! You seem like the kind of person that will always be having fun adventures, they don’t have to be for months away your home. What a good role model you have set for your children! They have seen you set a goal, strive to make it work and most important seen you reevaluate the situation and make the necessary adjumests to be happy ! I can tell in your videos that you are a kind and positive soul. God bless you in your future endeavors! Throttle On!!! 🥾🏕🌲
