I watched evans channel 1st and then yours way later, It didn't mean much to me when he caught up with yall from his prospective, it was just part of the story. However after knowing your story and seeing his footage of surprising you again I cryed... It was so awesome once I knew you where stressing about his absence and thinking of his efforts to catch up made that footage powerful in a way that only scripted movies and shows can do. Yall should edit that footage together for a joint video from both sides leading up to him surprising yall as its rare for real life to work out exactly right and for it to have been captured from both sides to really tell the full story of a event. Love yall both and evan ❤ yall are some of my favorite hikers
I knew you were planning to do this video and I’m glad to finally get to see it! I think you gave me too much credit with respect to the Shenandoah bear. It was your trekking poles that scared it off, lol. ...
Great video. Luke is a good story teller. He's a really funny guy. Evan catching you in the pres still gets me choked up. I can totally relate to that feeling of getting back together with the group. It could have easily gone the other way. Please don't stop making vidoes. You're one of my favorite channels on the tube. Thanks again!!
Thanks, Liz. It's really enjoyable watching your post-hike vids. It's too bad Evan isn't doing them as well. I always enjoy hearing his take and interpretation on things. Anyhow, thanks again, and I look forward to seeing more from you in the coming weeks and months.
I enjoyed your hike and watching you grown as you went along. Your relationship with Evan was incredible to watch evolve also. To have him marry you and Luke was the ice cream on the pie (haha Luke). Your follow up videos have been very good Liz, the best I’ve ever watched of a thru-hiker. Keep up the great videos and planning for your next adventure. I’m interested in the one that’s the future reunion with Evan. Hike on sister🏃🏼♀️
Hi there Liz and Luke !! Been missing y’all !!! So happy to see your beautiful moments, thanks for sharing. Makes my day .... I’m smiling and excited to hear more details of this journey .😄
Liz another INCREDIBLE video! It is great to see some of your favorite moments. Making me really excited to start my thru hike in February. Thanks for another great video!!
It was great reliving your favorite moments. I watched you from day 1 with the trek and continued when you started your own channel. One of my favorites from this year. Can't wait to have my own experiences on my thru hike next year.
Fun Video!! Those must have been some awesome moments! I love the relationship you had on the trail/and hope you still will continue to have with Evan...seemed like he was you awesome big brother. The relationship you have with Luke looks pretty good too...lol. just kidding, you guys seem totally meant for each other...you have the same funny personality. Keep the vids coming for sure! Love them!! ....oh, and let me just say, your mom is a sweetheart!
I love your videos Liz. Out of all the vlogs I’ve watched, your AT journey gives me the most hope. Yours and Evan’s. I’d love to hear more about the logistics of the trip. How difficult was it to plan hostel, hotel stays on the fly, arrange shuttles, get into towns. Anything you would have done differently? Did you just luck out with the work-for-stays? Any hostels that are must stays, etc. You seemed to always have cell service to make arrangements, was this accurate? Great job! Thanks!
I absolutely love your little family, and I might have cried a little watching your wedding not only once but twice. 🖤💜 Congratulations to you for finishing the trail and getting married can't wait to see what is next.
I just love these videos. DYING from laughter...hiding behind Evan when the bear came, lololol! I used to live right by Grayson Highlands, and those ponies are so adorable!!! We (your faithful viewers) were so excited when Evan caught up. We were so glad he was well, and so incredibly happy to see you all together again. But, I think we were MORE excited to see you and Luke get married (sorry, Evan, lol).
Liz the bear story just made my day. Hilarious...not so much for you at the I’m guessing! I am grateful to Evan for “saving” you from the bear and for introducing me to your videos.
I really enjoyed following your hike and the top 10. You probably don’t remember but my 23 year old son and I met you just south of Daleville VA. We were heading south and paused to say hello and encourage you to start posting videos again. I’m so glad you did. We also saw two bears on the trail about an hour before meeting you. Our experience was much like the first bear encounter you shared. I always wondered if you and other northbound hikers we passed saw them after us🙂
Too funny!!! Thanks for the support and following along and glad we got a chance to meet! I don’t think I saw the same bear, I’m sure I’ve obliviously walked right past a few though hahaha.
Whoops twitchy finger. Thanks for keeping your channel going. Just had a great moment, was watching this with my 9 month old grandson, when your mum and her husband surprised you and were waving to camera, and my grandson started waving back, so cute.
You’re sooo. What’s the word...cheery? Or pleasant? To watch! I find myself grinning watching cuz it’s so Cheerio! Well, my goal in life now is to be like Evan....to have a woman so happy to see me that she jumps up and down like a happy puppy dog! Goals! 😀great video!
This is a great idea! Yes, it must have been hard to choose 10 things after the thousands of experiences you had. I've only made it past the bears, lol, but I wanted to comment before I forgot what I wanted to say. 😄. Thanks for putting this together! Now, I'm off to watch the rest of the vid.....
You did great for having no backpacking experience! I remember when I watched your first video thinking Who is this girl with the crazy hair? LOL Now I can't imagine watching you looking any different. Great job with the AT videos!
Hey, there's Moonpie and Mud Bug getting their hair done on Max Patch! I missed them before! They just met up again to fill a gap in New York. Thanks for sharing.
You had me smiling through this video. Such good memories. You captured some really good highlights in this video and it was easy to watch. By the way... I like the feathers in your hair. Luke gave the correct number 1 answer. lol.
I bet very few people , have had a better experience than you had on the AT . You had rough patches but the good wouldn’t have been as good without them . I’ve learned a lot about the AT from your videos. Hope to see more someday. Maybe PCT or CDT ?
Great video. I went back and rewatched several of the early videos. It raised the question: what about Luke's gear? I am curious about his stove and pot. Good Luck
No handstands on top of the dragons tooth? Thank goodness. It made me nervous you climbing them but w/ your spirit & self assurance I did expect the dangerous feet. Made me so nervous on the cliff- girl you do live life to the fullest.
Upper Gauley River, WV... check it out. Love the place. Horse back riding, World-class White Water (3 times for me), Atv trails, bungee jumping, cliff diving, Mountain View’s. It’s all there, plenty of things to loss your wits... and film doing so:)
Watching Evan's 90 minute recap video of his whole trip (on the same day I found his channel) is what made me subscribe to yours. I ended up watching each of your channels from the beginning of your trips trying to keep the mileage synced up (watching 1 to 3 of your videos for each of Evan's) to see how you two ended up meeting. I was also curious to know if Luke proposed on the trail or how all that worked out. THANKS for the SPOILER alert! 😤 I think I'm around 800-900 miles into your trips. Neither of you has gotten sick yet. I'm glad you met up with each other and shared your adventures. I'm really glad you didn't quit YouTubing! I used to use AdBlock Plus on firefox and actually remove the HTML code from RUclips pages so I would never have to see the comments section and be tempted to see what some of the most awful people in the world have to project for others to see. The internet can be so awesome, it's unfortunate there are so many sad people that want to share their hate with strangers. Thanks for sharing your awesome adventure!
Sorry for the spoiler! Luke proposed before I left for the trail, we talked about doing it on Katahdin, but I wasn’t sure if I’d actually make it all the way so we didn’t really make plans until we got up to New England! Thanks for watching!❤️
Cool video. Be careful with the white water stuff tho, that’s called a hole and they generate upstream flow that can hold you in the mix indefinitely. I surf hurricanes but I wouldn’t go down that river lol!
Yo Handstand! It's been 15 years, but his is a really, really good AT film! No - a really, really good film! Really enjoyed it.! - Millipede GA-Me 2003.
We’re gonna make you an honorary Tar Heel talking all nice about Max Patch and stuff. Love your channel. Wedding atop Katahdin was classic. Any skydiving stuff in the future? Also, how did you record with your GoPro on the trail- with or without waterproof case? The audio always seemed really good.
Didn’t bother with the waterproof case since the camera itself is waterproof, but I wasn’t like submerging it and doing water sports haha. Audio was decent, not as good as iPhone, but either way I still love the GoPro! Hopefully will get back into skydiving next season- it’s too cold/closes for the winter! Thanks for following along!!🙏🏻
K Davis I was practicing a lottttt back then so I felt confident on the balance.... these days, less so haha. I’ll only attempt something like that if I’m confident and feel it’s not a risk! Fearless but not stupid!!🤣
Of course. I have some major balance challenges myself so that's why I think I 'm fascinated by the idea that you can even handstand like that. Very cool 😎 Successful thru hikers also are fascinating. You and Evan were among the first and most influential AT experiences i watched from end to end.
I watched evans channel 1st and then yours way later, It didn't mean much to me when he caught up with yall from his prospective, it was just part of the story.

No wayyyy
After watching Evan’s videos, I landed on your channel. Watching some of your videos, I enjoyed listening to your story. Keep living and loving.
Great video. Luke is a good story teller. He's a really funny guy. Evan catching you in the pres still gets me choked up. I can totally relate to that feeling of getting back together with the group. It could have easily gone the other way. Please don't stop making vidoes. You're one of my favorite channels on the tube. Thanks again!!
Thanks so much!!!
I think it’s awesome that you and Luke made such good friends with Evan. I watched his whole video also. Definitely a great guy.
Thanks, Liz. It's really enjoyable watching your post-hike vids. It's too bad Evan isn't doing them as well. I always enjoy hearing his take and interpretation on things. Anyhow, thanks again, and I look forward to seeing more from you in the coming weeks and months.
Chris Piatt I miss Evans Videos too. He is such a fun, informative, smart man, who has a lot to offer to hikers, and just people in general.
I miss them too :(
wow, ur mom on the trail singing happy birthday. thats incredible.
It was the best :)
Love this video! The marriage clip and the Evan surprise clip will get me every time! Thank you for making this and sharing!
Another good video 👍 ty
Well DANG LIZ. Thanks for making such a great video and sharing all of that w/ us. Well done. How kind you are for this! Touching !
I enjoyed your hike and watching you grown as you went along. Your relationship with Evan was incredible to watch evolve also. To have him marry you and Luke was the ice cream on the pie (haha Luke).
Your follow up videos have been very good Liz, the best I’ve ever watched of a thru-hiker. Keep up the great videos and planning for your next adventure.
I’m interested in the one that’s the future reunion with Evan. Hike on sister🏃🏼♀️
Aw thank you that was really sweet!!!❤️
Awwww!! It was all great. Glad you put the wedding as #1 although Evan's surprise was a contender.
Hi there Liz and Luke !! Been missing y’all !!! So happy to see your beautiful moments, thanks for sharing. Makes my day .... I’m smiling and excited to hear more details of this journey .😄
I'm so glad you decided a long time ago to continue sharing your videos. Love this vid and you and Luke are awesome!
Liz another INCREDIBLE video! It is great to see some of your favorite moments. Making me really excited to start my thru hike in February. Thanks for another great video!!
Absolutely love the photo of the four of you at the Mt. Washington Summit sign....Its now my screen saver! lol
Aw I feel famous!
Thanks for sharing your top 10 moments on the AT
It was great reliving your favorite moments. I watched you from day 1 with the trek and continued when you started your own channel. One of my favorites from this year. Can't wait to have my own experiences on my thru hike next year.

That was fantastic! You're such a lovely, fun person, I cant help but like all your videos.

So glad you both had such a great time! Lucky to have gotten to spend some time with h you guys.
Loved hearing more about the trip... the water on the trail to Bethel was crazy.
Fun Video!! Those must have been some awesome moments! I love the relationship you had on the trail/and hope you still will continue to have with Evan...seemed like he was you awesome big brother. The relationship you have with Luke looks pretty good too...lol. just kidding, you guys seem totally meant for each other...you have the same funny personality. Keep the vids coming for sure!

Hey Liz loved this video. Great to revisit your trip thanks for keeping up
I absolutely love your little family, and I might have cried a little watching your wedding not only once but twice. 🖤💜 Congratulations to you for finishing the trail and getting married can't wait to see what is next.
Aw, thank you sooo much!
Y'all are the best, we consider you and Luke part of our family. Great videos!!!
The Wolf Pack Kim Sam and Leo
Thanks for making all our days!!
I am glad you had a super good hike. Yes, Max Patch is great. Looking forward to new adventures.
Great video Liz!! I always look forward to your vids.
I just love these videos. DYING from laughter...hiding behind Evan when the bear came, lololol! I used to live right by Grayson Highlands, and those ponies are so adorable!!! We (your faithful viewers) were so excited when Evan caught up. We were so glad he was well, and so incredibly happy to see you all together again. But, I think we were MORE excited to see you and Luke get married (sorry, Evan, lol).
Aw thanks!!! I was so fortunate to have such great friends on this trip!!
Loved this!! It answered a lot of questions about how you arranged a wedding during a thru hike. So cool! Keep them coming...please.
This was an enjoyable summary. I could feel your excitement as you described your top 10. ~CrazyQuilt
Three cheers for E-Wolf (Evan), what a wonderful story Liz and Luke. Keep it great! Cheers!
Liz the bear story just made my day. Hilarious...not so much for you at the I’m guessing! I am grateful to Evan for “saving” you from the bear and for introducing me to your videos.
Very Funny, love the banter between you two!
Plus, all your advice about packing light is right on. What's your next venture into the real sister?
I really enjoyed following your hike and the top 10. You probably don’t remember but my 23 year old son and I met you just south of Daleville VA. We were heading south and paused to say hello and encourage you to start posting videos again. I’m so glad you did. We also saw two bears on the trail about an hour before meeting you.

That’s so adorable!!!🤣🤣🤣
Smiles among the miles. ❤️
Bethel is my old stomping grounds. Glad Luke loved it. I too bought pies from the pie lady. Great video wrap up!
Thanks! Pies were awesome!!
You’re sooo. What’s the word...cheery? Or pleasant? To watch! I find myself grinning watching cuz it’s so Cheerio! Well, my goal in life now is to be like Evan....to have a woman so happy to see me that she jumps up and down like a happy puppy dog! Goals! 😀great video!
Awwww hahahahaha thanks!!!
very touching vid pulled at my heart strings thanks for sharing
Love Ms.Piggies favorite moment! 😂

Thanks, I like it too!😄
Hey Liz. You're athletic as heck
This was a great video, congratulations on your wedding , awesome place for a wedding 😍

Oh so cool! Loved Mudbug!!!
NH definitely IS the best.
Sounds and looks like it was a great adventure.
Speaking of the triple crowns, are you planning on doing the other triple crowners (CDT and PCT) at some point?
Another Liz Kidder video! Think I better go grab a fresh donut and coffee then sit back, relax,and enjoy. Ahhhh, Oh yes much better now...
😄😄😄
Outstanding!!!!!!!!
Great video. I hope you and Luke are planning more epic adventures and staying healthy . Peace, love and applesauce .
You know it!
WOW!! Evan got ordained as a minister just to do this service! That is so cool! Also, all your videos are so good!!
Thanks Allen!!!😄
Loved this! 🤗
Another awesome follow-up video. Thanks for sharing/ I'm looking forward to future videos :)
Thanks for sharing your top 10... awesome !

You had me smiling through this video. Such good memories. You captured some really good highlights in this video and it was easy to watch. By the way... I like the feathers in your hair.
Luke gave the correct number 1 answer. lol.
Hahaha thanks Scott!!!
Awesome video! I just started watching your videos and love them all so far. Bonus for me is my friend Yelp being in them as well. -Captain
Yelp!!!❤️
I bet very few people , have had a better experience than you had on the AT . You had rough patches but the good wouldn’t have been as good without them . I’ve learned a lot about the AT from your videos. Hope to see more someday. Maybe PCT or CDT ?
Thank you! And maybe someday!😉
Great video. I went back and rewatched several of the early videos. It raised the question: what about Luke's gear? I am curious about his stove and pot. Good Luck
I know I really need to do a gear video with him! Soon, I promise!
Hi Handstand ! Nice top ten video and great to see Luke on RUclips.
Max Patch is Awesome! That's where I am in this little picture of me. Awesome list Liz!
Thank you!!
No handstands on top of the dragons tooth? Thank goodness. It made me nervous you climbing them but w/ your spirit & self assurance I did expect the dangerous feet. Made me so nervous on the cliff- girl you do live life to the fullest.

It was fun to watch from the start
Damn, girl, gonna be hard to beat your episode. Congrats on you kicking addiction in the balls. You get Montana points!!
Hey, that hostel in Palmerston, did it happen to be a garage behind a steakhouse?
This is fun and love seeing Ms Piggy
She’s the best 🐷
Such fun !!! TY
Love your videos . I am trying to talk my daughter into do doing the trail with me . Congratulations on getting married and finishing the trail !
Yo Handstand! It's been 15 years, but his is a really, really good AT film! No - a really, really good film! Really enjoyed it.!

👍PERFECT👍
Just AWWW💕🤘🙋♀️
And Evan is a God to me for hiking on max 50 carbs a day!! Discipline!!
You have become my favorite hiker very real
Excellent!
Have you heard anything from Yelp? That guy seems so cool.
We text sometimes! Miss him!!😭
Can’t forget when you went off the rope swing into freezing water and lost your glasses, with boots on
That was totally on my list before I had to narrow it down!! Good memory 😄
Awesome video
Wow. Were you nervous doing your handstand on McAfee Knob?
Mostly just about getting a good pic😅
Trusting your balance too i'm sure.
K Davis I was practicing a lottttt back then so I felt confident on the balance.... these days, less so haha. I’ll only attempt something like that if I’m confident and feel it’s not a risk! Fearless but not stupid!!🤣

Very nicely done Handstand
Nice!
You and Luke are fucking badass! Love your videos.
