I cannot tell you how much I enjoy watching your vlog. It is the highlight of my Saturday mornings. I am so glad to see you enjoying yourself on the trail. Keep up the good work.
Your videos are great! I don't know if you understand or not but, I really feel like I'm getting to thru hike again through your videos. I miss the trail so much. Thank you!!!! In 1990 I saw a cougar walking up the trail in front of me just before Waynesboro and I watched it for about 30 seconds and it knew I was there. It slowly walked into the woods and I kept hiking. I told people in Waynesboro about it and they told me that they were extinct and it must have been a Bobcat. It wasn't, I know what Bobcats look like. About 30 minutes later a hiker came into town after me and told them that he saw a cougar and they said no but he shot a picture of it. He went to a 1 hour photo lab and it was a cougar. Freaked everybody out in town. You are hiking great and seem to be so happy. I'm so glad that you're having a good hike. Trust me, it will get better and better until you reach Katahdin. Hike safe, Hike strong, Have fun! geek
😊 You have a great tramily. 17:12 Absolutely stunning. I never tire being above the clouds. I never knew about eastern cougars! I'll keep my eyes open here in Maine. I always learn something new from your vlogs. Your spirit seems content; I'm glad you found good company. Rest well, and take care of each other ✌️
I'm stuck in Damascus between the weather and the holiday, unless outfitters are open today. I need to reapply permethrin and replace the insoles in my shoes. Happy trails to you! Tinker.
Loving your content, so funny hearing about the LOTR re-tellings lol, If you ever run out of things to say I enjoy just hearing the projected plans for the day. Happy Trails!
What a journey, we are surprised it is still that chilly. No expectations just experiences, you are doing it right. In 2019 Hotbuns and I celebrated our 10 yr wedding anniversary at Brushy Mtn Outpost. 😅😂
@@appalachianadventurista to have our 10-year anniversary on the application Trail and brushy mountain Outpost will definitely be something whenever forget 🤣😂.
Super cool video today! 🙂 You are doing great and I’m so happy for you to be hiking with friends! 💪💪. Watch out for those cougars! Yikes!! 🤯🤯 have a good week & hike on!! Oh yea Happy Birthday to your hiker friend! 🎂🎁🎉.
It has been a cool spring down here in the South, but we know the heat is coming soon. I have enjoyed watching your hike, and hope to thru hike the AT soon. 2024?
there are tons of cougars in Utah... they are mostly very timid animals unless they are starving... and just because you don't see one doesn't mean they don't see you... sneaky kitties...lol
Dismal falls is gorgeous. Where would you recommend for a weekend car camping trip within striking distance of Durham? My daughter and I want to do a weekend camping and dismal falls is beautiful.
. . . you have beautiful energy for this journey, that's half the battle . . . have you distance trecked before? Make it wonderful, for the memes . . . 1🌍.
Mountain lions aren’t extinct from the east- they have been extirpated. Extinct means there are none of the species left. Extirpated means they are gone from that area. Most so-called mountain lion sightings in the east are Bobcats. The rest are house cats. Of All of the antidotal sightings people swear by, none contain a single photo. In an age where every person carries a quality camera in their hand at all times (cell phone) the fact that there are no photos says it all. That, oh and science.
The Hobbit and LOTR are by far my favorite books...😁
Another great update! Happy Trails

I enjoy your videos so much! I’m a PA girl living in TX so I appreciate AT videos! I miss hills and mountains so much.
Keep going 💪!

Happy trails! Damascus isn’t a bad place to hunker down.
Wedge, 2023 NOBO, was followed/stalked by a cougar for a bit on trail. Can’t remember exactly where but he did mention it in one of his vlogs.

Depends on what you consider striking distance. I haven’t done much down in the piedmont. Linville Gorge is a beautiful area.
@@appalachianadventurista Thinking more of dismal falls (which i have never heard of), Lynchburg, that sort of range.
next secrion always kicked my boompy . . .

wishing you would of named the towns and stuff you stopped at.
That “super low power line” isn’t power, it’s cable tv.

Any complaints about not having to go to work yet?
Not yet! I do miss my home routines though.
