    I would love to hear about your experiences/interactions with other hikers along the way. I know you had a scary moment or two along the way. Also, I would like to hear about the support you received along the way from your family, friends, Brian, etc. As someone who would love to do this trail in the future, it would be nice to understand how this may impact your mentality as you progress through this challenge.

    Congrats on completing your AT-thru hike Jenny! My wife, sister and I are planning to be part of the 2025 Class

    Congrats on the hike. It was nice to watch your perspective as another person who regular stomping grounds are the Whites. Plenty of useful info for my attempt next year. Also, the center part of the tree is the pith.

    Congratulations! I thought your whole series was well organized and consistent from start to finish. Great work. I would like to see a video on how you organize and pack your gear.

    10:30 It's interesting how much less of a pillow you need in a hammock than on the ground.

    • @HikingwithJenny
      @HikingwithJenny  3 месяца назад

      Agreed. I’ve tried actual travel pillows in the hammock before and it’s just too much! It pushes my head too far forward.

    I watched specifically to see if you still loved your poncho. I kinda want the Packa but like yours too. Funny you are still using the cat food can stove. I love that about you & it somehow should be an Aka trail name😊
    Good to see you again.

      I do still like my poncho! I just tried to find it on Amazon again and it says it’s “currently unavailable,” but when I bought it in 2021, it was only $16.99! Such a good value for what I’ve gotten out of it.
      Soap tried to give me the trail name “Heet” because of the fuel I used!

    Excellent vid. I pretty much figured you'd be keeping most things for the entire journey. That's because of your experience. You put a lot of thought and planning into your gear. I imagine you maybe sharing a vid on finances. I did have a question regarding what app you used to generate your thumbnails. I happen to use android, but I'm curious just the same.
    I also wanted to ty for all your effort with vid editing. Appreciated

    About rain gear. Would you continue using the poncho in colder weather, or switch back to your original froggtoggs jacket with pants?

    • @HikingwithJenny

      @@Mosshikes good question. I think I would go with the frogg toggs jacket and rain pants, with the Lightheart gear hoodie pack cover to protect my pack.

      @@scott-tj1gn 20-25 pounds typically, depending how much food/water I was carrying. There were times in the beginning it was a bit heavier than that because I was carrying extra stuff for winter.
