I can't believe how many are giving their "advice" and downright stupid criticism. It's obvious you know what you are doing. The way you had your tent pitched showed that, among other things. I will be watching and cheering you on!
Rainy days, wet feet, serious miles... if you’re still smiling, you’re definitely unstoppable. And you don’t even have your trail legs yet. CHEERS! 🤜💥🤛💪
Overpacking food starting out is very common, but there's a good chance that you might run into a hiker who under-supplied, and you can be a mobile trail angel! Take care out there, Taylor!👍
"I saw my shadow today...' LOL! You have such a great attitude. Clearly your prep - physical and mental - leading up to this challenge has put you in a great groove early. Enjoying your pace of storytelling. Keep it up.
Moving right along. "Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy...." I would have broken out in song at that moment. Hopefully no one would be close enough to hear. Traveling or hiking always reminds me of different songs and I'm forever taken back to that place when I think of that song after that. Funky Town is the AT. Got caught singing that on trail as someone blew past me. "Gotto move on....." Keep hiking, doing good and sorting out the glitches as they come up.
Just found your AT series by doing a search for “Appalachian Trail” on YT. It’s really good so far! Looking forward to watching them all. IDK when, but someday I’d love to thru hike the AT from Georgia to Maine. 😃
Nice start to your hike Taylor! I think your trail name should be “Wonder Woman” because you are pounding the Georgia mountainside into submission! ;) #bringit
Welcome to the south, those switchbacks might keep you from overheating in the dog days of summer. The pace of everything is slower in the south due to heat.
Head hurting...Ill feeling upon wakening...welcome to the South”s allergies. After draining a bit moving around you”ll feel better. See if a decongestant helps. Going from NH straight to the woods of GA would be shock. I am in North Florida and the pollen covering the cars is horrendous. Feel better and keep that attitude.
Good hiking taking advantage of the break in weather.👣 👍 When your hiker's hunger finally kicks in ya may want to add a Beef Ramen to the Mountain House lasagna meal....one of my favorites 😀 Stay healthy & happy... Blessings PS... If ya don't have a waterproof protective sleeve for your phone, a Ziploc bag does the trick 👍 Also a pair of bread bags over your socks in your shoes will "help" with the wet feet.
LOL your clip about switchbacks made me laugh! Apparently the Whites are very similar to the Adirondacks (my home mountains) --- straight up and straight down the mountain, probably in a creek bed ;)
I’d like to state the obvious in case it went unnoticed... you missed the race out of Gooch because you slept in and you had a nice hike all day long, AND there was still room for you to stay & shower when you arrived on your own personal schedule. That’s called hiking your own hike. CONGRATULATIONS.
I like the way your wake up .. it's very cute. You have these googly eyes. You remind me of my daughters when they were kids. They would wake up with headaches too but to get out of school. lol lol lol
You are doing very well. Hike for your fun, video for your future self, and post when you get the chance. Do you have a hands free umbrella? An umbrella can keep you warmer in a cold rain or snow by not letting the cold rain cool off your rain jacket. I hope that you get more sunny days. Ramdino reports that the deer ticks are out already, be careful. Have fun. Good Luck, Rick
I subbed , excited to.follow u along your journey, I hike a lot , live in VA. We do a lot of over nighters in the Waynesboro area including Shenandoah national park , wish I could do a thru hike as well , keep moving , pace yourself , listen to your body , good luck on your hike , so jealous
Still pounding out some serious miles for beginning. You’re obviously in great shape but be careful, don’t burn yourself out in the beginning. Once you get your trail legs I can’t imagine what you’ll be hitting daily! Keep it up we’re proud of ya
I followed Frozen last year. I was interested in checking this year's hikers so I started watching a bunch (5) of thru hikers this past weekend. Good luck this year and keep up the videos!
I am very excited for you and I don't know you but I find myself very proud of you. I am on your side and will be watching your progress. Thank you for going on such a tremendous task!
Whites are much more rocky. Trails that go straight up are hell to maintain due to erosion - water flowing straight down the trail. Enjoying your videos.
who needs blue blazes? you are the blue blaze! way to burn up the trail right out of the gate! I would definitely try to get those calories in if you plan to keep that pace. have a great adventure!
I wonder if the difference in switchbacks here vs. the White Mountains has to do with erosion. NH has enough rocks that it probably keeps the rain from flowing down the trail too much, but in GA the trail would eventually turn into a huge trench from the dirt eroding to the bottom. Interesting.
Looks like you missed out on some awesome views such as Preachers Rock, Blood Mountain and Cowrock because of all the rain. Hopefully, the weather will clear up and give you a break out there. Keep your head up and keep moving NOBO! Just subbed!
You are unstoppable. I'm going to subscribe to your channel and get some Zyrtec for the runny nose so you don't get a sore throat and do knee bends and leg lifts for your knee that seems to help me when I'm in pain. Actually kept me from having surgery
If you can make it to Virgina boarder then you will probably make it to Maine. And some of those people your passing day in day out you will see for the next six months. Brings back great memories.
Need a AT baseball cap to wear under hood for those rainy days...then u have an instant souvenier too. Great attitude despite the weather. Keep rockin it! ✌😊
I am enjoying following you on your hike. I feel good about your efforts and wish you the best on your way to Katahdin. I live about 10 minutes from Neels Gap, and have a friend and his son who are a little ahead of you. They just started through Smoky Mtns National Park. Good luck.
Survivor Buff ? I think i have the same one ... Got it when i went thru some leukemia ... Im a huge fan of Survivor and now you too ! Have fun on yur journey !
I had a similar issue with a rain jacket visor... a small binder clip and a truckers cap solved it for me... the clip weighs almost nothing, and helps hang socks in my tent overnight.
Out in New Mexico we used to joke that switchbacks were for people "from the East". Obviously some Easterners are tougher than others ;) The funny thing is that I've heard that the CDT and PCT have way more switchbacks than the AT...
I canoe ...and I know on canoe trips with women, girls, really everyone, not pooping can make you , not well. It’s the 1st thing I thought of when you had a headache.
I noticed lots of baseball hat suggestions.. I ended up buying a visor last night in town! It’s perfect. Thanks for watching / supporting my channel!
I can't believe how many are giving their "advice" and downright stupid criticism. It's obvious you know what you are doing. The way you had your tent pitched showed that, among other things. I will be watching and cheering you on!
"I saw my shadow today ... I'm predicting 4 more months of hiking" - Taylor the Nahamsha Hiker
(priceless!!!)
Loved it!😄
Rainy days, wet feet, serious miles... if you’re still smiling, you’re definitely unstoppable. And you don’t even have your trail legs yet. CHEERS! 🤜💥🤛💪
I don't think she has lost her trail legs from hiking in the Whites!🙂She's a machine chewing up mileage!
Claude Taylor Ha! Just wait, a month from now you are going to see some consistent big mile days. My bet is on 28+ mile days for months.
@@tcgregory7693 that is moving!!!! 28 ?!! Wow!
You’re crushing it!!!
A baseball cap under the rain hood might help.
Loved, “I saw my shadow to day and I predict 4 more months of hiking”! 😂
I second the baseball cap advice, it definitely works.
Yep, this exactly!
Overpacking food starting out is very common, but there's a good chance that you might run into a hiker who under-supplied, and you can be a mobile trail angel! Take care out there, Taylor!👍
That was the best line so far...”I saw my shadow today....”.
"I saw my shadow today...' LOL! You have such a great attitude. Clearly your prep - physical and mental - leading up to this challenge has put you in a great groove early. Enjoying your pace of storytelling. Keep it up.
Cheering you on Taylor. Our local Nh Hiking Hero.
Second that. I'm from NH, too. Nice to follow a native on the trail. No funny accent hee-ah !

Love your prediction of 4 more months of hiking!! Whoo hoo!! #teamtaylor

I like your videos because they are short and you mix in the scenery nicely. Hike on!
Very excited for you. Great pitch on your tent. Be well.
Cowrock is usually a wonderful view! Keep on hiking! Many more beautiful views to see!
Enjoy watching your journey...you have such a great attitude! Thank you for sharing your journey

Best thumbnail ever!!! 🤣
Also- your shadow’s prediction is brilliant
Taylor Rules!!! You're an inspiration and a warrior !! 🔥
Nice positive attitude early on. “Keep on hiking”. Sounds like a good tag line!
LOL your clip about switchbacks made me laugh! Apparently the Whites are very similar to the Adirondacks (my home mountains) --- straight up and straight down the mountain, probably in a creek bed ;)

Hang in there. I admire you for going solo. You rock!
I like you positive attitude, it will take you far ! Keep hiking north!! 🤠🤘

Those are some big days right out of the gate.....you are a bad ass...chewing up the trail...
I would suggest a baseball hat too, lol. And the “I saw my shadow”, you’re so fun to watch.
Love your videos! You are doing so well. Thank you for sharing.
I subbed , excited to.follow u along your journey, I hike a lot , live in VA. We do a lot of over nighters in the Waynesboro area including Shenandoah national park , wish I could do a thru hike as well , keep moving , pace yourself , listen to your body , good luck on your hike , so jealous
With your outlook, look out Mt. Katahdin she is on the path.
Great mile day to Blue Mt Shelter. You are definitely in great shape to put in those miles so early. Keep Trekking!
My dad, Jack (Nimble) Spurrier, is on the trail. Made it to the top of Albert Mtn. today, March 10th for camp.
You are very focused. Raking up the miles and always looking forward with a strong mindset. Really liking your journey thus far
I don't envy that rain. I hiked 7 miles down to NOC a couple years back. I was a prune after the fact 😂. Great vid! Thanks for the update.
Still pounding out some serious miles for beginning. You’re obviously in great shape but be careful, don’t burn yourself out in the beginning. Once you get your trail legs I can’t imagine what you’ll be hitting daily! Keep it up we’re proud of ya
I followed Frozen last year. I was interested in checking this year's hikers so I started watching a bunch (5) of thru hikers this past weekend. Good luck this year and keep up the videos!
Nice Buff! Also, have the same trekking poles! Keep up the awesome work! You got this!!
Holy switchbacks Batman. I see no need for them. You are right about the Whites. The grade does not require switchbacks.
LoL, saw your shadow today... That's awesome. Keep on trekking!
nice video Taylor!! you're a machine, putting in big miles in crappy weather. you're doing great! be safe!!
Wow ... You're hauling ass through the trail. Wishing you the best!
I am very excited for you and I don't know you but I find myself very proud of you. I am on your side and will be watching your progress. Thank you for going on such a tremendous task!
Enjoying your videos. Glad you're on trail and doing great. Great attitude. Great miles. You seem really happy. I'm excited for you 👣♥️

I saw my shadow today🥰....4 more months of hiking 😮 Love you kid. Hike on!

Enjoyed your video. Also those were really awesome tent pitches 👍😁
You're doing great! Those rain jacket hoods are designed to have a trucker/ball cap on. Works for me anyway.
You are unstoppable. I'm going to subscribe to your channel and get some Zyrtec for the runny nose so you don't get a sore throat and do knee bends and leg lifts for your knee that seems to help me when I'm in pain. Actually kept me from having surgery
19 miles !!! Wow way to go - saw your shadow = 4 more months of hiking :)
There's going to be great and bad days ;) keep pushing...you're doing super great!
I know where all of those switch backs are. You killing the miles. Great views to end the day.
Headphones can help with people snoring. Listen to music or something. Or even just as earplugs.
If you can make it to Virgina boarder then you will probably make it to Maine. And some of those people your passing day in day out you will see for the next six months. Brings back great memories.
It’s always a race to Mountain Crossing when the rain is coming in.
Need a AT baseball cap to wear under hood for those rainy days...then u have an instant souvenier too. Great attitude despite the weather. Keep rockin it! ✌😊
Check to see if you have the draw string on the back of the rain jacket hood. If it does, then that will pull the visor back.
Looking good - glad the sun came out - enjoy the rest of GA headed to NC, my state and parts of the trail I love the best :)
Awesome I’m following you now.. need more videos
Go Taylor! NH loves you!
Loved the ground hog joke
Awesome, your are doing Soo good, great attitude, watch those miles, don't push too hard, remember, it's an adventure, live all of it you can😁😁😁😁😁
I am loving your chill
Don’t be afraid to use a knee brace
Hope you are keeping your head phones and charge cables in a ziplock
When you get to Hanover,NH I'll try to catch you on the trail and give you a little care package. I saw you ate in concord :p
Love these!
You made some smart choices today and received the reward of good miles. Keep going, Happy Trails ;)
I am enjoying following you on your hike. I feel good about your efforts and wish you the best on your way to Katahdin. I live about 10 minutes from Neels Gap, and have a friend and his son who are a little ahead of you. They just started through Smoky Mtns National Park. Good luck.
Hooked. Can’t wait for the next video. Keep em coming!
3:48 That alcove is where I got hypothermia on a sobo section hike. Stay warm and dry. Cheers.
Loving the vlogs so far. And they will only get better Im sure. Stay safe!
Survivor Buff ? I think i have the same one ... Got it when i went thru some leukemia ... Im a huge fan of Survivor and now you too ! Have fun on yur journey !
Awesome video update 👍🌲. So very true about NH straight up (forever)straight down😶.
WOW, your really doing fantastic, excellent vlogging, hiking and scenery, all the best.
You are doing great ! Happy Trails !
You have a great attitude! Take care of yourself!
You go! I thought you were either from NH or VT. You can totally do this, since the Greens and Whites are much harder than anything else!
Thanks Taylor. A baseball hat will keep the raingear out of your eyes.
nice job on the tent .tight stake out
I had a similar issue with a rain jacket visor... a small binder clip and a truckers cap solved it for me... the clip weighs almost nothing, and helps hang socks in my tent overnight.
Headache from altitude orcdehydration? BTW you are gorgeous; your face lights up and you smile right through your eyes. You exude enthusiasm!!
You're killin' it. Way to go!
Happy to see that you're doing well. Enjoy every step.
You go, girl! Awesome. Blessings
Doing great with the miles! Hope remembering to hydrate hasn't been an issue!
The "4 more months of hiking" shadow comment is hilarious!
You are starting out strong. You'll be in the Smokies in no time.
Keep your spirits high, your doing great
You have a great attitude. you also seam well prepared.
Great stuff. Keep it going. Take care. God bless.
I like your prediction of four more months of hiking 👟🚶♀️🌲
You’re off to a great start!
Out in New Mexico we used to joke that switchbacks were for people "from the East". Obviously some Easterners are tougher than others ;) The funny thing is that I've heard that the CDT and PCT have way more switchbacks than the AT...

Get it girl! We are at the NOC Today, hope to meet you soon! Snacktime and Sage!!
Great video! Awesome attitude you have Jedi! I’m guessing you like the Lasagna, what was that kind “ Wise” ? Best!
