What is Beer in Beautiful Places?
Hi, I’m Maddie! Celebrating an outdoor adventure with a beer has been a long-time tradition for me, and I wanted to create a platform for like-minded folks to come together. In my videos, I cover all types of adventures and review beer! Topics include day hiking, kayaking, travel, thru-hiking, and life on the road. In short, if you would describe yourself as an outdoorist, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman, hiker trash, nomad, or dirtbag, come on along, this is the channel for you! Welcome and cheers!

My husband and I were just commenting on how great quality your videos are. Never shaky or anything just really good quality. Great work. Keep it up . We're enjoying your adventures. :)
Once heard a through hiker say that at one point, no matter how much you eat, you never really feel full. Thoughts of food are normal.
Coffee+Nature=Happiness❤
Getting tired of the same food/snacks does suck…I have friends who can seriously eat the same things day after day but I can’t do that…I have 2 different food dehydrators…one for meats and one for veggies and my brother has a freeze dryer so we make our own dehydrated food for camping and backpacking…nice to be able to use healthy ingredients and control the salt level…I do like what you were saying about having hiker friendly food station/shop/food truck…Made In Minnesota Spam is fine but best warmed up!
First, I just want to say thank you so much for sharing all your adventures. I am a solo female hiker with dreams of doing some long trails once my youngest is in college, but I confess that as it gets closer, I am finding that I am starting to feel a bit nervous about going alone. Watching you getting out there going on all these great adventures is inspiring and it's easing a lot of my fears, so thank you!! I also just wanted to let you know that they do make small resealable packages of freeze dried fruit and veggies (at least in the NE they do). Check in the candy isle, by the nuts, or in the organic section. One of my go-to hiking snacks is dried seaweed. It's super light and salty and goes great with cheese. Enjoy the trail!
That’s so awesome to hear!!! I’m so glad I could help. It’s not easy but it’s so worth it. Thanks for the tip about food too! I’ll have to look!
I am 35 and I started out alone. By day 3, I had people I was consistently hiking with. It’s worth being alone for a time.
It is remarkable that Maddie has made it 200+ miles thus far on the trail that is more than 2000 miles long. I don't think myself can do that one.
It's too easy to confuse days while you are out on trail. Be sorrowful to your friend but don't let it bother you, you have too many other things to fret about, especially in town... like Ale or my favorite Lager... preferrably a bock beer! Cheers Ranger!
These videos always makes me forget about some of the bad days at work I've been having lately.
Love your videos, thanks.
The Smokies are gorgeous. You're doing real well.
If I'm not mistaken the Fontana Hilton was built in the late 1980s. When I thru hiked in 1990, there were I think 450 starters and 261 finishers that year and it was the highest number of finishers to date.
I had Pop Tarts, Snickers and beer for breakfast usually. LOL Your idea about dehydrated veggies is good. I did that in 2002 for my hike but I dehydrated 1/2 a quart zip loc each of peas, carrots, tomato's, celery, corn and green beans and I just added a small handful of whatever I wanted to my meals. They added a lot of flavor and nutrition and lasted about 3 weeks before running out. I also cubed up some pepperoni and cheese, added a couple of packets of Italian Dressing from a hoagie shop and cold soaked my Ramen all day as I hiked and in camp, I mixed it all together for pasta salad.
My name and FB site is Jim Adams. My profile picture is me in a purple fleece with my backpack on and my cat on top of the backpack. It is from my 1990 hike. I you want, drop me a note with a Post Office or Hostel you will be at in the future, give me about a 3 week plus lead time and I'll send you some dehydrated veggies. If you don't want to, I understand but the offer is there if you want it.

I have heard that you can soak a tent in a tub with vinegar and lemon juice for a few hours. Then let it air dry, before packing it away, to kill mildew spores.
I LOVE the scenery. Whenever you show beautiful scenery I say, "Ooooo" out loud! Ha ha. Thanks so much for taking us with you!
This was really cool. The wild flowers are so pretty! Spam is pretty good if you cook it nice and crispy 😁😋
Your a wonderful camper and strong willed ! I’m learning from you . Thanks for all your effort to record and post as I know it can be difficult at times .
Hey Maddie I just resubscribed because I realized for some reason some of the channels I thought I was subscribesld to I wasn't! Your journey is really inspiring to me! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!! ☺️
I hiked the smokies back in April. That second day is crazy hard! The section between Spence Field Shelter to Derrick Knob Shelter wiped me out. Good luck on your hike and keep up the great videos.
Your videos are so great! If I ever hike the AT again or want to do it fully, I think I'd start in ME and head to GA. The northern section looks so much harder than the southern section and I think I'd want to do the northern section while fresh.
Cheers to your positive spirit.
Great video Maddie, thank you!
GO MADDIE, GO! 🚶🏼♀️
You're doing great, Maddy. Your happy disposition makes your videos a delight to watch.
PS: if you can get yourself a wee titanium pan, you might find spam is more palatable fried.
Thank you for the glimpse of the wildflowers
Whoa, spring has sprung on the trail! Food would be the toughest part for me. I have never had peanut butter and tortilla and I don't feel like I am really missing out on anything. ;)
Beautiful place Maddie' I have enjoy your videos very much.Good luck to you.
From Double Spring shelter north the moss rain forest is my favorite part of the southern Appalachian Trail! Enjoy 😊
Please listen to your body and don't push big mile days if you are tired. Overuse injuries will end your hike.
SPAM cold - oooph! It’s pretty good with instant mashed potatoes. Kinda makes it tolerable 😂
Loves the creativity to fix your tent problem! Gotta use your resources when out on the trail to make it the best ya can:)
I've seen hikers do full blown vegetarian dehydrated meals like bean chilli and macaroni the dehydrated meals actually look delish u should try
I just want to get out and hike for miles after watching your AT videos.... (Mind you, this one also put me in the mood for BBQ!) Love seeing the signs of spring - all the spring beauty (little white flowers) and the way the trees in the valleys are green while they're still bare on the ridge tops. So cool!
Were very Proud of you to.
You are still doing amazing! You seem to be keeping your spirits pretty high overall. When we are traveling I do a terrible job of keeping track of days. Don’t be hard on yourself. Keep on trucking Maddie!
Beware! Watching this gives you the munchies.
Happy trails, Maddie ✌️
Thanks!
Yay! Thank YOU!
Maddie..
Enjoying following you. Your video technique is excellent. A little thing : I enjoyed the way you keep recording the sound as you occasionally speed up the video. I enjoyed watching you carrying that coffee. Better balancing than I have. I talk to animals too. 😂. The goose.
You seem to be having a wonderful time. Real.
Thanks so much..
Looks like you had amazing views on Clingmans Dome! Congratulations on your trail highpoint! Keep on keeping on!
You had a great view day at Clingmans. The day I went a couple years ago, it was really cold, windy and foggy.
I love these videos. Thanks for sharing your hiking
Excelente video
I hear some folks dehydrate their ingredients for soups and stew and fruit/snacks… and Mail supplies ahead to themselves. Suppose you could be that person who does it for others as a business 😊
I’ve heard of people doing that but to me, the trouble of mailing and receiving it all would be too much!
Great video Maddie! Very inspirational- looks beautiful.♥
You are adorable!❤
Good job. You did it.
Hey I don’t think you saw it but at the time marker 14:18 you walked by this really cool tree it just like stands out and looks super magical!! It’s amazing out there Maddie keep up the big mile days
That tree did look pretty cool
I don’t remember seeing that in person, but you’re right it was awesome! So many cool trees out here!
Thanks 🙏
Power on girl 💯👍👍👍👍💪
Your snack had sesame sticks. I love those.
We brought Spam on the trail for the mornings we woke up to ice. It was delicious fried. Mmmmmm.....😋 We tried it again once we got home and didnt like it at all. 😂 So funny how the trail can make some things extra delicious.
I'm so glad i followed this channel. I'm a glide
Thanks!!
Scenery is incredible.
GSMNP is the only AT section I’ve hiked. Loved every step of it. 🦑
Those kids…gotta love ‘em.❤
18 is great! And I get a giggle out of the bouncy fast forward. I hope you get something yummy soon 😊
Instead of powdered milk, try using vanilla flavored meal on cereal, oatmeal etc. ✌️
the hungry hiker youtube is good for ideas
Nice ❤
I didn’t mean to dislike I returned it to like button!
18 miles!!! Madster the Dragster!
I have a picture of the spot with the view where you ate just past Spence Field. It’s my background picture on my computer. It constantly begs me to come back. I have. Many times. - Jimmy Dean
Glad you enjoyed the smokies Maddie!😊😊
Excellent!
Enjoying your hike, Maddy! Love your honest conversations. Keep up the good work! Forever onward, Maddy😊
Again,totally enjoyable and interesting!
looking strong!!!
Wish I was there. I like a cold beer on occasion.
It was so good to see the wildflowers so pretty! Loved that view! So sorry you missed your friend; hate when that happens.thank you for sharing!🎉💜
Awesome footage! Embrace the zero days, you deserve them! Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us
Your doing great. Having fun tagging along with you
Beer Stipend!!!
Thanks so much!!
Wait till you get to Grayson Highlands
Enjoying the Smokys vicariously through your lens. And yeah, forgive yourself for mistaking the dates/times withy your friend. Don't let it take away from the experience.
RIGHT ON….. great to see you enjoying the trail….I bet you don’t remember the gym treadmill??? Just kidding… Be careful an have FUUUUUNNN 🍺🍺🍺
Spam is much much better fried. Just sayin'. :) Thanks for the smiles!
Dang I'm going nuts was getting ready to ask you what that was hanging in the tree. But nevermind. Lol
I forgot about 🐁 I be so scared that one get in my tent, but u r an expert on catching mouse with peanut butter, remember? He was so cute !😊
Aww, yeah! I miss Remy, I hope he’s doing well
Harmony House has the dehydrated and freeze dried fruits & veggies you're looking for!
Yay! I’ll have to remember that!
Enjoying following along! Are you mainly using your phone as a camera, or a GoPro? Stabilization looks great
My phone! I try really hard to make it smooth, I walk a different way while filming and sometimes fix bumps and tilts while I’m editing!
Febreze will get rid of the mildew smell.🙂
I really like your hat a lot. If you get a chance later, please tell me the brand/style. Safe travels
Some one gave it to me so I don’t know the style, but the brand is Lethmik!
@@BeerinBeautifulPlaces thank you so much! I’ll check them out 😊 it’s really good that you wear a hat to protect your face from too much sun. My face and chest is where I have to keep getting treatments for pre cancer spots. I think back-of-the-hand protection is important as well. All my best to you!
Tent seams ridiculous that it is so flappy in the wind. You thinking about switching it up and trying any other tents?
I’ve had so much practice with it now that I realized it’s all a matter of staking it just right! Before I was doing the guy lines (or whatever the strings are called!) just tight enough to hold the tent up, now I do them super tight and at just the right angle!
@Beer in Beautiful Places Thanks for commenting back. Good luck on the rest of your thru hike. Glad the tents now working out.
I cross my fingers and all my toes that you make every mile of the trail just for this Vlog. Does that sound selfish?? Take care :)
Not selfish, I’m glad you’re enjoying them so much!
Were you still able to meet your friend despite the mix up?
No, she was busy the day I actually was there! 😞
Why did you have to put a permit in the box?
Yeah, I know you are supposed to carry a printed copy with your thru SMNP. I would think that box would be for south bounders.
Yeah, I messed up! I was supposed to put it in the box when I was leaving, not entering! Luckily no rangers checked me!
Take care talk to you later
The dome seems smaller cause you done grew up
Yep! ☺️
I like following other hikers but they are way too “positive” most of time for YT and you seem much more “REAL” … you show all the different emotions of doing a thru-hike … thanks
Goofy don't give a way your secrets. Someone else may have the money to make it happen
SPAM IS GROSS 🤢
I live in waynesville nc and my dad helped pour concrete on clingmans dome happy hiking
That’s awesome!! How cool!
Is there a particular brand of trekking poles you enjoy?
Not really, I’m using Walmart poles and don’t see the difference from others!
@@BeerinBeautifulPlaces fantastic! I was going the Walmart route; good to know I was headed in the right direction lol. Thank you Maddie!
