    Always happy to see your videos. Your my “Anne of Green Gables” on trail. Please take that as the highest of compliments as I saw your strength from the first video. You offer a plethora of info while being so very personable. I appreciate all that you did to take us along. Despite hardships you faced… you were always a inspiration, especially for the ones of us who may never get to see the journey you shared. I’m back trekking you now as you were pretty far into your hike when I saw your channel.✌️❤️

    Absolutely every single ounce that you didn’t need?? That box looks too small for Nick. 🤷‍♀️I’m sorry…I feel bad that he took his ‘curtain call’ at such a disrespectful time on your journey…and we’ve all been cheering you on for the last few months. Life is a journey, and being truthful takes courage. Sending good vibes all around!!

    Yay! This was great. We would watch you even if you read the dictionary. Lol. Would love to know the scariest experiences you had on trail. Did you ever connect with Ramdino on RUclips? He posts updates etc on AT Hikers. Really good info. But please Keep these coming. We love our bad bat!

    Thrilled to see you once more Miss Badbat. I hope one day we get to see you back out on the trail, whether it be for a weekend getaway or a long thru-hike. Since my hike in 1989, I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of individuals. Several of them stand out. You are one of those people who had a significant impact on 2023 through both joyful and terrible moments, but your love and heart always improved things. Despite how challenging it was, you never gave up, and the individuals you met along the road thought the world of you. Never be scared to follow your heart and to dream as you go on the next big journey. Life is brief and passes quickly. Make the most of your time by making it special. ⛰ #NeverGiveUp

    Hi BB! so nice to see you again. Really appreciate the report on what you mailed home. I always like to have the little composition books!! I would like to see a video about what fears and concerns you had starting out, then what were the ones that were actually concerns and which ones were the unfounded fears.

    Great vid, Double-B! 👏👏👏 Good News: I'm finally getting a BadBat tee shirt! Woooo-Hoooo! I ordered the blue tie-dyed style and it's coming in a couple of days. 👕🌀🔆 Video Suggestions, Per Your Request: 1. Trail Lingo. 2. Your Trail Angels. 3. Critters You Saw Along the Trail (Salamanders!). 4. Hostels You Stayed At (Geodesic was the best!) 5. Towns You Passed Through. 6. Best Restaurants. 7. Best Day/Worst Day. 8. Your Trail Buddies. 9. Creepy Encounters & Fear on Trail. 10. Your Breakdowns & Triumphs. 💔🏆 BadBat, as you can see from the comments, your loyal followers are deeply, deeply disturbed by what Nick did to you. I know this is not the forum for this discussion (nor is it really our business), but we care because we traveled with you for 2200 miles. When you first told us that your's & Irish's significant others were joining you on Katahdin for the final leg, I have to be honest - I was bummed. I knew the entire dynamic was going to change, and it did. I wanted it to just be about you two at the end. Added to that was all the red tape BS you had to deal with and then the extreme weather on Summit Day, and then Nick? It should have been a day filled with joy & mirth & celebrations & a party!!! Where was the party?!?! I feel like you were robbed of your true crown that last day. We were thrilled you made it, of course. Jumping for joy, in fact! Could you hear me hootin' all the way from Cali, cuz I was!!! We got the photo but had to wait 2-3 more weeks for the vids due to your safety delays. I'm kinda glad now that I saw the photo of you on Katahdin first - long before I saw the vids and learned of Nick's betrayal. You are one strong human being, that's for sure. Upward & Onward, BadBat! And, don't worry... we're not going anywhere! 🦇🕊️🦅

    Sleep ware is a must in my opinion. Sleep bag would be filthy in no time. Would be like sleeping in a dirty sock

    • @danielstoddart

      Yep. Much easier to launder a sleeping bag liner than the sleeping bag itself.

    Thank you so much for all of your recommendations. I admire your strength after separating from your husband I admire you getting back up here and showing your face. You are a true inspiration however, you do sound very desperate in your voice tone. I’m sure you’re not feeling like that, but it comes across as desperation And urgency what’s up with the urgency and desperate like you’re coming across is so desperate.
    Thank you so much for your introspection on your camping gear. Awesome. ❤❤❤

    Hi BB! Love watching you from the very beginning and you’re such an inspiration!! Keep up the great work and being your amazing, true authentic self. You’re one of a kind. ❤
    Yes- every ounce counts! I was sharing my story with Jennifer and your dad! My husband and I love love watching you daily, so what an incredible blessing to have met them over a campfire at our TN state park tonight! What a small world!! 😊 PS: your dad was wearing a Katahdin long shirt so I asked him about it!
    Would be cool to backpack with you someday! Heading back on the AT to continue my section hikes soon and next year if you’re interested. 🥾🤙

    So- how much weight did you ship home before the 100 mile?

  • @danielfegley2735
    @danielfegley2735 Год назад

    On your Q & A video you didn't give the run down on what the cost is in terms of food and lodging I think it would be great if you could give us an idea of what to expect

    I tried going super ultralight for a while and ditched the camp shoes (which were a pair of flip flops). I was removing the insoles at camp to let them dry and sticking my feet back into my shoes in place of a camp shoe. Bad idea, I quickly learned! Guess what? My feet were always cold and wet. I went back to using Xero sandals and now my feet are dry, at least.

    You were and are always positive and don’t use profanity! That’s a plus in my book. Who needs profanity to make a point. People who have nothing good to say
