I think I speak for a lot of your followers, no we are your RUclips support team. Take your time to heal up but please post a “short video “ to keep us updated on your journey. You are like extended family to after all these miles. We want to be there with you with you climb that beautiful sign at Mother K. Take care.
My Brother, We 100% respect your thinking, your decisions, your sharing so we can all learn. Since you 100% owe no one any explanation, we really appreciate that you would take the time to share. That said, the most important thing is your health and when you’re happy and healthy then we are happy! You definitely have our prayers, my friend… They will continue… We will, be with you through healing days and with you when you get back on the trail! God bless you! We love you so much, brother! ❤ WWYATW!
Thanks for the update and keeping us dedicated followers informed. Get some rest, get well, continue when it’s possible and I’m so excited for the magazine!
Your health is the most important thing , definitely take that rest…you’re the guy that shouldn’t have been able to do any of this! You sir are an absolute inspiration, take care and we will be here when you return x
Thank you for everything you have done for all of us watching. I am 56 and preparing for my first through hike of the AT (or any trail for that matter). Your real world experience and sharing is so valuable and appreciative. I hope you can spend some time while recovering working on the thru hiker magazine. I'm very excited about the first issue! Wandering Mycophile
I am so, so sorry that you are struggling with health issues, Fortune. I am happy to know that you are not continuing to push so hard, that you end up doing serious damage to yourself. I could see how shaky you were in that clip and it is definitely worrisome. I know that you are a super driven person, and it's difficult to stop, even temporarily. Heal and rest. Rinse and repeat. I hope you find a good Lyme-literate doc to help you. I'm looking forward to your triumphant return, when you are back to 100%. Hugs friend. Hang tough.
Thanks for the update. Totally understandable to get off trail when you're feeling the way you described. You're not a quitter, you're one of the most determined people I know of. So good that you're having it checked out. The Lyme's can hang around in the body for a while, from what I've heard. You'll know when you're ready to return to trail. Best wishes and prayers.
Good to see the update. I was hopping you weren't laid up in the hospital somewhere. Rest up and take care of yourself, those mountains will still be there when you are well.
Thank you for checking in! Some people are just rude. I hope you can finish this year, but if not, I know it will happen when the time is right. Take all the time you need to heal up! That's most important. Sending prayers.
I feel ya, that sweat is stupid crazy, I still do that,2 years after, along with stupid fatigue.. luckily I have not had the migraine so much, I hope your doctors figure it out, none around here are lyme literate, I know you'll keep pushing!! The magazine sounds interesting!! Hope to check that out!! Rest up get strong 💪 hope to see you back on soon!!
Good job Fortune. Smooth and Casual. We called it at Grafton Notch. Nothing major but handful of minor issues. We'll be back in the future. Wish you luck.
I look forward to seeing you on the trail when your able. Hoping you get some answers to your symptoms. Until we meet again on here, Be Well! From the coast of Maine.
Hey Fortune 👋 I been watching for a while, and this is the first time I left a comment, but I think you should listen to your body and take care of your health. Just know we are still here cheering for you on and off trail... we love you fortune and I will keep you in my prayers
My prayer for you is to receive the Lord's Healing Grace and Comfort, and guidance for you as to when you should return to the trail. I am confident you will complete the trail this year, and will look forward to following you to the finish. God Bless!
Glad to see the update! I (notso) patiently waited for a whole week before I got concerned. All of us just want you healthy and back on the trail when time and health permits. I’ve not seen any negative comments on here, but I think those of us who have followed you can take of them ;)
Listen to your body, get healthy migraines are no joke. That is something that I have to be careful with when I get on trail. Prayers, that we will see ya on the trail.
Hey Fortune take care of your health your health is important I'm looking at the hiking trail in 2026 I'll be 67 but your health is the most important no matter what anybody else says you're doing the right thing you have a blessed day and may God bless
🚶🐻👟👟⛺🌞 I think you and Henry have really been doing amazing and I know you will finish the trail get that rest we always come back stronger 💪💪💪💪💪💪 LIVE LIFE 💯♥️
Headaches too was also listed along with fever and. sweats on Lyme most likely Lyme symptoms still there bummer. Hope you’re ok. Most likely another course of antibiotics. A doctor would recommend
I never edit my videos …they are as I record them…but since I was on the couch and just talking…I wanted to play with it lol…I like it…but don’t worry my outdoor videos never get edited
"Donuts and Mountain Dew"... From day 1 I've watched Fortune eat meat, dairy, processed food and junk. Then I learn he has a chronic disease, duh. This shows the importance of knowing what food is and what it isn't. A body that needs to repair and heal CAN'T in a toxic environment. I hope Fortune learns this soon.
I actually eat a strict diet of fiber and proteins and enriched foods…what is eaten on the trail is not what I eat off the trail…burning 6000 calories a day is a different animal and your body requires high doses of carbs fats and sugars that I cannot eat when not on trail. Although this video is not “on trail” I have been on trail all year and am on a rest period…but still very deficient in calories that are still being made up. I am very much a health eater and cook. It’s partially what saved my life years ago. Just because you see donuts and Mountain Dew on my videos…does NOT mean that is the totality of what I eat.
If you don’t have health. You have nothing. Keep working on it. I would give what is helping me. I know you have your “doctors “ on it. Good luck. Looking forward to your healing ❤️🩹.

Thank you for your kind words!!!
Headaches too was also listed along with fever and. sweats on Lyme most likely Lyme symptoms still there bummer. Hope you’re ok. Most likely another course of antibiotics. A doctor would recommend
I have recently experienced Lyme disease and the sweats you mention. Rest, rest , rest.
The trail is no place to battle the sweats, they suck.
Your health is more important. The trail will always be there.
Maybe I’ll get to meet you on trail when you get back in a couple weeks.
Get well and hike on buddy.
Thanks brother
If not this year then finish next. Your health is more important than the hike.
Take care of yourself…the trail will wait.
Those doughnuts are the bombb
Thanks!
Thank you!!!
🙏🏻👊🏻💪🏻
I love you keeping it real, but this new black and white video formula is unwatchable. Now I have a headache...
I never edit my videos …they are as I record them…but since I was on the couch and just talking…I wanted to play with it lol…I like it…but don’t worry my outdoor videos never get edited
👍👍👍👍👍
