I think you are the first hiker I have ever watched who did not stay at the NOC prior to hiking further up the trail. I like your positive attitude and your willingness to share your feelings and experience. Happy Trails.
We’re really enjoying following your journey. My wife & I watch a couple of episodes before starting our day. You posted this one 4 days ago and already it’s registered 10,000 views!😀 You’re doing some amazing content & it’s so nice to follow with your smile & positive attitude. Great channel to subscribe to👍🙏
You know, I was a bit freaked out about the climb out of the NOC last year, but it really wasn’t bad! Those little breaks in the climbs, as you mentioned, really do help! My husband was the one lagging because he had only just joined me at the NOC. Though it was not as tough as I thought it would be, we definitely were not as fast as you! It took me two days to go from that camp spot beneath the fire tower to the shelter just below Cheoa bald. You are a machine! :-) I did stay at the NOC, so that probably made a difference, but still… You’re truckin!
Nice vlog! I am surprised that you didn’t stop in at the NOC, even to eat. It seems most bloggers take a zero or nero and leave the NOC on full bellies and take that climb up out of there. Kind of neat that you just walked on through. Love your hair! With you all the way - Thank you for sharing!
It was nice to see some of the sights I experienced during my thru hike last year. I was a southbounder and did the hike in 4 1/2 months ending on Oct. 4th. I loved being able to devour entire boxes of honey buns in one sitting. You are doing well! Ill enjoy following your adventure. "Water Doc"
You are crushing it. I love your videos. I cannot wait to get out on the trail. I start in less than 27 days I am so excited but I am more excited to live it through your lens. Be safe and hike on
My favorite high calorie trail breakfast is apple cinnamon oatmeal with two big spoonfuls of peanut butter swirled in. Peanut butter is heavy to pack but so worth it! Happy Trails!
keep on hiking! My hubby and I are watching, we just/are turning 60 so we may not do this in person, but we appreicate getting to tag along with you. Rooting for you! Prayers for your safety & strength!
Hey Throttle, my wife and I are enjoying watching you crush the miles. Saw you camped one night next to Marty. I'm sorry to see that he is now off trail. I am following you and Jay. I think you have passed him. Enjoy, be safe and keep the videos coming.
Wow! You have real discipline not to stop at the restaurant for the greatest chili burger on the trail! Happy to see you had a nice day…That climb out of the NOC was brutal and a real toe stepper for me on an unseasonably warm day. Finished it dehydrated and slightly heat exhausted! You kicked butt!!!
Hey just want to say I'm really enjoying the videos so far, I look forward to them everyday. I hope maybe someday I can do this myself. Keep the videos coming!
Doing great!! As your subscriber numbers increase, so too will the unsolicited advice. It's all (almost all) coming from good intentions but most people try to nudge you towards what they would do and not what would best fit you. However, there's often a golden nugget or two hidden in some of them. I started having people send me food stop suggestions so I didn't miss a good place to eat. That worked out well for me because I was always starving! Stay strong...stay present! 🕓
Thanks so much for the advice! Yeah, seeing this already. Also blown away by all the love and support! Wow, just amazing. Love the food suggestion idea! Yes, always hungry!!
Hey! :) Stay safe out there tonight, sweetie. I figure it's colder here tomorrow, maybe the same for you. Sure rooting for you - You're doing an amazing job and so kind of you to invite us along.
I’ve also been watching mischief on the trail, it’s pretty good vids of a hiker that’s behind them. And aqua man is doing a SoBo. That guy is a trooper! The conditions he is pushing through are absolutely insane.
Great hike! Are you a Harry Potter fan? You don't need a tramily (they would probably be slipping rocks in your pack to slow you down anyway). Hopefully we can make half the miles your doing per day when we start in a couple weeks. 🙃
Amazing views. Beautiful video. Keena, I think you need to set up a method for us to donate. There are lots of folks cheering you on with that beautiful smile.
I have only been (binge) watching your videos for three or four days. I wish I could read up a little more about you? How do you feel about hiking alone? Will you have people join you along the way, like visiting friends or family?
Hello! My wife and I had last you a message last week asking if we could send some of the better dehydrated meals ahead of you, for your pickup, from time to time. Please let us know? Wayne & Teresa
Hello, We would be willing to ship via UPS 2 or 3-day service. Are you able to choose a destination 4-5 days ahead on the trail that you know for a fact you will pass by. We can then ship and confirm to you it’s arrival at that destination. We would ship Peak One Meals. These are the absolute best in many peoples opinion. What would be the max weight you would want us to ship? Only need to coordinate such shipments only as it works in line with estimated schedule of your hike. It can be waiting for you and you know it will be there to minimize your daily routine. Let us worry about the cost. Do you have any diet restrictions? Please give it one try. I can assure you the quality and ease of preparing these meals is worth it. We have chosen to follow you in the AT this year. We are also doing the same for one person each on the PCT and CT. FYI, we are in our 60’s and live in California and retired. This is part of our joy to share what we have with those of you with a dream to fulfill. Please advise how you wish to communicate going forward. Stay Safe! Wayne & Teresa
Hello! My wife and I had left you a message last week, asking if we could send some of the best dehydrated meals ahead of you, from time to time, for your pickup. Can we help? Please advise how proceed.
From my experience. people either get stronger or more exhausted on long thru hikes. You're starting to look stronger. I think you have a very good chance of making it to the end. New Hampshire will be your big test, but you should be able to handle it. I'm a little concerned about your diet. Nuts and seeds and other high fat and high protein foods might be a better choice than sugary processed food. All the same, dark chocolate is always good.
I wish the hikers , when they video a sign they would leave the video on the sign long enough for us to read the complete sign. It's a mark of amateur videographers

NOC?
Spectacular awesome beautiful outstanding vlogging, hiking and scenery, all the very best.
Omg. Killer day. You are so chill about two days that absolutely wrecked me! 🤣🙌🏻
While kayaking at the NOC, we always enjoyed seeing the hikers,come through and devour a meal.
Eat your sugar and don’t sweat the talking- it’s enjoyable. You are knocking it out! Great videos, look forward to them.
Keena you look beautiful with any type of hair style. We’re loving your videos! ❤️
Awww thank you so much!! 🥰
Uh….. she commented that from my account lol
Keith you may need to shy away from the updo. 😂
@@sandrasidden2164 Mother Nature helped with that one 🤣🤣
Great section of trail 👏🏔🥾🎒Great attitude you have 👏 Thanks for sharing! Keep on hiking 🥾
Wow, you are really covering some ground at a good pace. You make it look so easy!

If you by chance lost an eye glass case with glasses, "Jay" from Jay Wanders Out picked them up. He is about 2 to 3 days behind you
Every day seems better. Good stuff!

Nice video, with some good views, so let's keep on hiking, nice sunrise 🌅 😀

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I don't wish any negativity on your hike but I start next week and wish I could meet you.
Love watching your videos! Hope you stay warm and can’t wait to follow along on your journey!!

This journey has become my 5 o clock ritual. Keep knocking down the miles.
Whose there
You are such a fast hiker! I’m envious…I’m sooooo sloooooow!😂
The B-52s called looking for their lead singer. Rock that beehive all the way to Mama K!
You had a great hike today! Sleep tight! Love following you on the trail! Oh yes the bee hive. We wore that style in the 60s. Lol.
Those tunnels are fascinating. During the summer they are dark and mystical. Loved your beehive 🐝🐝
I love getting camp set up without rushing too. Then you can have a relaxed evening to rest and be ready for the morning. Happy hiking 🥾
I'm kind of digging the bee hive hairdo. Thanks for your video's.
I don’t think I have ever seen annAT hiker not stay or film at the NOC!!
You are Rocking those miles!!!
Love the beehive!!
Thanks for the update Keena/Beehive! 😂 thank you for sharing!🥾🥾⛺️
Isn't she awesome? Can't wait to "see" you guys on the trail!!
@@hikerburd
Thank you!! Looking forward to it!
Hey Throttle, my wife and I are enjoying watching you crush the miles. Saw you camped one night next to Marty. I'm sorry to see that he is now off trail. I am following you and Jay. I think you have passed him. Enjoy, be safe and keep the videos coming.
Yeah, she and Jay are my to faves right now. Very entertainting- great hikes
!
I miss 360 but he did what he needed to do and that’s brave. 👊🏻
Love the sights and your hair - it is better than the 60's teased hair. Keep on hiking! You are doing so good.
Fantastic views and sunrise today!
Love the views! Thank you for sharing your journey.
Hey Lady. I am enjoying your hike. The videos are excellent. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your amazing journey with us, You are living the dream !
Day ten, amen!🙏 Those rock outcrops rock!😎
Looks like a nice day with the climb out of the NOC. Love the “realness” of your videos & look forward to each one.
Awesome sunrise!
You’re knocking out the miles!
My husband can’t wait to eat all the honey buns he can while hiking!😊
Wow! You have real discipline not to stop at the restaurant for the greatest chili burger on the trail! Happy to see you had a nice day…That climb out of the NOC was brutal and a real toe stepper for me on an unseasonably warm day. Finished it dehydrated and slightly heat exhausted! You kicked butt!!!
Honey Buns Rule! 🤘 Stay safe & warm. 💪🖤
Wow! Great video!
Hey just want to say I'm really enjoying the videos so far, I look forward to them everyday. I hope maybe someday I can do this myself. Keep the videos coming!
Wait until you get to New York you can load up on bagels.... LOL. You are Killin it girl. Rock on and enjoy. Love your vids.
You have trail humility and a willingness to let the trail do the teaching.
Good miles today. Attitude good, Health good, Knees good Ankles good, Hair ?????, The very best to you and thanks you made my day.
Another great video. Keep on Truckin ☮️❤️😀
You are making such good progress! I like your glasses!
Enjoying your videos...making great progress. Safe hiking.

That was an amazing view of the sunrise.
Throttle On !
Usually people stay at the NOC to feast and drink. You just keep pushing on. Be careful not to burn out. Take a day for yourself every now and then.
I remember my 2018 climb out of NOC and the lack of water on the way up.
UGGHHHH My butt cheeks are still sore rom that ridge line you were walking around 5:15. Thanks for taking us along.
I love the tunnel!
Your awesome.
Good day.. Yes you need those calories when hiking. Thank you.. Blessings and safe hiking
Beautiful opening images. Feels like we're along with you! Saw ,Pacifier s dancing trees in the tunnel. Hope you get a chance to meet her out there.
Hey! :) Stay safe out there tonight, sweetie. I figure it's colder here tomorrow, maybe the same for you. Sure rooting for you - You're doing an amazing job and so kind of you to invite us along.
doing great and keep up the hike, enjoy!
Another awesome video. Look forward to them. Great Bee Hive!!
-Retread
Great miles your doing, those views are pretty aren't they even with no leaves and such. 👍🌲
Knocking out those miles. You have motivated me since I started following your videos...i am back to hiking each weekend here in CT.
Keep it coming doll. AlongATrail bailed the other day :-(
I'm relying on you (and Jay) so I can live vicariously. Thanks for the awesome content.
I’ve also been watching mischief on the trail, it’s pretty good vids of a hiker that’s behind them. And aqua man is doing a SoBo. That guy is a trooper! The conditions he is pushing through are absolutely insane.
Yeah part of that section reminded me of the Linville gorge. Another day with great views!
❤👋
Nice walk today. Such beauty. I can't even imagine. I'm so glad you are videoing your journey. btw : your hair looked cute ! 🌄
I wonder how much her hair weighs? Will it be cut off like a toothbrush??
If she’s like me, it’s a burden we must carry. The worst part is when it gets wet, takes days to dry.
Great hike! Are you a Harry Potter fan? You don't need a tramily (they would probably be slipping rocks in your pack to slow you down anyway). Hopefully we can make half the miles your doing per day when we start in a couple weeks. 🙃
👋
Now that's a great sunrise :-) both the sun and your face very nice
😊
Loved the bee hive. Lol
Be safe 🙏
You go girl. 🖤
🙏🏼
Well done!
Amazing views. Beautiful video. Keena, I think you need to set up a method for us to donate. There are lots of folks cheering you on with that beautiful smile.

The fire really opened that place up.
Oops, you did eat there! I should have waited a bit longer to comment.
Nice 14 mile day!
You missed out by not stopping at the restaurant in NOC girl. But you are doing well!
I’d love to know more about your video editing process and the software you prefer. Thank you for your videos
iPhone pro and LumaFusion
@@KNAOutdoors2022 thank you for the reply. I love ur videos. I wish you the best thru hike
There's nothing wrong with a little bottled coffee. 😝

The least people I have seen at NOC-none!
So sad You missed one of the premium on trail restaurants of the trail.
Would you like a hiking companion? Curious if you plan to stay alone or to yourself or get in a group?..???
You will find you need more protein and fat to carry you as time goes on sugar burns off fast! Nice job. You will be in Smokies before you know it!
Where you arrange water and food
Creeks and shelters have a bench or table
How many kilometres or miles you travel everyday
It varies
Did you get nervous about hiking or sleeping alone?
Did you have phone service the whole time to call for help if needed?
No and no but I carry an Inreach explorer for emergencies
Thank you. Love the videos
Be safe and have wonderful adventure!
I didn't stay either
