I think about all I have done in my life while you have been hiking that entire time!! You have a gift for setting and reaching goals and getting the work done. Very inspiring 💪💪. Enjoy summit day and all that it brings, you are so deserving!!
Omg I am crying like afool I started watching you from MASS and havnt stopped. Your positive attitude, will to go on, your calm voice WOW . Our 2 daughters did katahdin abt 10yrs ago. An both did knives edge, One did the knifes edge fine the other one and her fiance did not get down till midnight and rangers said they would not check till morning thank god I had no idea how crazy that climb is. Hope we hear from you when you get home and settled and how thats going. Thanks for sharing your amazing hike!! We live 4 hrs fr katahdin so know how crazy the hikes are
Hi Carrie. I'm so excited. Your excitement was very visible on the video. Are you going to watch your own video of the Abol Trail and the Hunt Trail as you go up and down from Katahdin? Glad Ron btought you some supper the night before the climb. Very sweet of him. I'm sure he is excited for you and very proud of his sister's accomplishment. Did you sleep at all the night before or were you too excited. I think I'd be too excited. Take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Completing an adventure, be it school, a through hike, or a military deployment, it always causes mixed feelings. It will be a challenge to stop the volume of food consummed after the hike. Nice video. Have a safe climb. Good Luck, Rick
I'm glad you showed us many of the details of pre-Katadyn. I'm going to miss your daily videos. You've done a remarkable job with your videos & hiking. 🚶🏻♀️🚶♀️🚶🏻♀️👍🙂
Thank you for sharing Carrie… I have been following you from day one… you are such an inspiration… I just finished my first backpacking trip. Thought about you the whole time. Excited for you and the girls to finish this journey strong!!💚
I know that you are home but I still look forward to your videos and am so excited for tomorrow to see you climb the BIG ONE! I get teary eyed and wonder what your thoughts are inside your head as you know one of your biggest dreams, challenge's and accomplishments is right under your sore feet?! I can’t wait to watch you hit the top of the mountain and hear your voice and see what you say!!! I’m getting so excited!!! 😊🥰. Looking forward to your next video! Thanks for taking me on your journey and sharing this with me! I love you girl🥰
Amazing job with these vlogs. I love how you interviewed people along the way. I get emotional every time you do. Feels like I’ve been rooting for a sister! Congratulations!
Your emotions are normal for a hiker completing such an enormous undertaking. You have done exceptional job of recording it for us to enjoy, thank you and looking forward to your summit video Hike On !
How exciting! I can’t wait to see you summit! I got a little misty watching this. Thank you for sharing your journey and for the inspiration you’ve given.
Oh,now I’m 😭😭! I can only imagine all the emotions that were happening on that last day! So happy that we got to see you all after you summited. Y’all experienced something absolutely amazing together.
Sorry this is such a late reply but we were so excited to see the two of you guys in the hundred mile wilderness. We talked about it every day that we were in the hundred mile wilderness wondering when that was gonna happen! And then we got a bonus visit when you guys were at the same hostel as us! We will be forever friends ❤️
Just so awesome, one day away. Wishing you all a safe and successful climb. If you do not mind telling us how much did your backpack weigh at the beginning of the trail and how much did it end with. God Bless
First time I see someone crying because it’s going to be over, all the hikers I watch they cry because they are happy it’s going to be finally over 😂 please explain that feeling because I’m confused and I need to know what to expect in my upcoming hiking in 2026 🎉😅
I’m not sure if I can truly explain, but I’ll do my best. I had such a amazing time out there, even though I was glad that I completed the hike. I knew that I was gonna miss being out there on that trail. I was going to miss the people on the, my Tramily, the challenges and the feeling of conquering the next mountain. The community out there is just something I really loved.
A few weeks ago, you mentioned losing weight. Have you continued to lose more? It just seems like your food intake is small compared to the calories burned.
I lost about 30 pounds and since I’ve been home, I’ve put about five of those back on. Most of my weight came off the back half of my hike. Now that I’m home, I’m trying to eat a lot cleaner and control my portions
