Glad I got to see ya at trail days. Also happy to her you stayed on the AT. I know alot of people who got shuttled into Damascus and just continued on from there. (Cheating in my opinion.) Props to the ones of us who didn't do that. Your amazing girly love your soul! Hope to see ya up trail! Safe travels.
TT, thank you for taking us on your journey. It is said there are 3 challenges in every thruhike: 1. the physical challenge, 2. the mental challenge, 3f. the spiritual challenge. Mood swings can be caused by diet. Increase protein and fats. Try gorp with nuts(not peanuts) and fruit. I like berries. Try using EVOO or coconut oil! I enjoy your smile very much! You got this! You remind me a lot of Bad Bat and Pigpen! Bad bat also lives in NC.
You are a complete delight! Your vidoes make me so happy! Praying for you to make it and more importantly shine your light! Someday I hope to start some section hiking, looking forward to experiencing the hiker community!
"Trail Days was fun! I stayed longer than I planned" - Yeah it'll do that to you. It'll also suck you back every year if you aren't careful, and seems like it may have already. 😉 I think you really distilled why we all keep going back though in talking about all the hikers you hadn't seen in a while and how nice it was to run into them. Like yeah it's a fun (and relatively cheap) weekend getaway in the woods, but ultimately it's a reunion and an extension of that sense of community the AT gives you. I'm glad you were able to find that. Means you've got a grasp on the best possible reason to be out there. Keep on keepin' on Trippin' Turtle.
I’ve hiked several long trails. But I NEVER hiked around anyone that has your energy, and love of all the “little” things in life😄 Whether you get to Khatadin or not…….Never Change😄. Stay exactly who you are😄 Your videos make my day!
Love your positivity and cheerfulness. I think your doing really well and I enjoy your videos. Be careful, stay safe and enjoy your Hike. Happy Trails! 🚶 🏕 🍳 🔥 😊 🙏
You are AWESOME, adorable and such a grateful person! I’m truly amazed with your stamina, energy and attitude. Keep moving, having fun and enjoy the beautiful scenery! With you all the way, I ❤ you!
I’m loving your journey. You brighten my day when I watch your videos. They are filled with delight and positivity. I’m here to support and show love.❤ Go all the way + beyond ❤
Hey Nae. I have been off grid traveling myself so I haven’t seen your resent videos. You have really made some progress. You are an inspiration. Keep it up. 😊
Glad you had fun at Trail Days! You'll make it to Khatadin for sure. Quite enjoying your trail commentary and I also like the stretches of uninterrupted hiking without commentary. That's rare in an AT thru-hike vlog. It's so nice of you to provide that for your subscribers. Take care!
Just found your video. The joy you have is wonderful to see. You are such a beautiful young lady. When the trail starts getting tough, & you feel like doubting if you can make it through to Katadin, just remember - "I can do all things, through Christ who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13 Trail Days looks like soo much fun! It makes me excited for my AT thru-hike starting next Feb! Hope you visit Trail Days again next year!
When you are struggling what I do, is focus on the next thing you can see like 1/8-1/4- 1/2 mile ahead and tell your self”I just have to make it to there” and when you get there find your next target and say”I just have to make it there. Like when I’m walking through city’s and have along way you go likes miles and miles I always focus on the next stoplight I can see and tell my self I just need to make it there. Breaking a long journey down into many short journeys tends to make it easier to accomplish mentally. You are Doing great !!! we all believe you can do it!!!
I think you're awesome and I'm glad trail days was fun! Also, Virginia is my home (specifically the Shenandoah area) and I hope Virginia treats you well.
That shady valley area by low gap trail head off hwy91 ( stoney creek) is dsome of the most beautiful rolling hillsides and pasture lands in northeast Tennessee.
You are in Virginia and doing great the AT is too easy for you already. I have completed many thru hikes and have never slack packed but each to their own.
I don't know but it looked like you were going the wrong way for the hiker parade, guess it must be an out and back, also a good way to avoid the squirt guns 🤣
Hey Nae, are you on track to finish the AT this summer, before the weather cuts off hiking? You seem to be making good progress to me. The long stretches with few shelters are still ahead, correct? I was looking at a map of the AT and that is what I gathered.
As one outdoorsy black person to another, your journey is inspiring for those of us in the community to don't think we belong outside.
Everyone belongs in the outdoor community.
You keep on keepin on. You CAN do anything you put your mind to. The power of friends is immeasurable.

I have the same problem. Big crowds make me uneasy.

It looks like I am, but only God truly knows. I’m just gonna keep putting one foot in front of the other and enjoy the journey to wherever it ends 😊
