- Hey everybody, 1/4 already!✨
More info!
If you want to connect Instagram is a great place! Find me @stella.hikes I try my best to respond to DMs :)
And if you want to support me on the AT and the creation of these videos you can
Venmo @Stella-Blashock
and I’ll send you a post card from the trail!
Massive thank you to those already supporting me on the AT regardless of how- financially, following along, sharing, and commenting! 💗
10% of YT earnings this year will go back to trail orgs like the ATC, PCTC, and the CDTC 🌲🏔️✨ Thank you for your support and encouragement! Let’s get outside and into the mountains together 💞
Stella, you'll get a kick out of this. I told some of my grad students from India about your hike and they got really inspired and creative. There is a famous hike from the southern tip of India all the way to Kashmir in the north. Coincidentally, both AT and the India trek have the same distance, ~2,200 miles. Students have printed out the India trek and the AT maps to scale and are following thru hikers like you. They tell me which "sister city/town" in India you are now crossing... 🙂. Silly and crazy, but absolute fun!
@S. M. Looks like I'm not giving them enough work... 🙂
@@elephantprotector / Hear hear....I was that nerd who usually sat in the front of the classroom 😄
San Man this is such a cool story 📍 I love it and would love to see the maps your students have printed out! Plus it would be awesome to learn more about trek in India my mom is from Chennai ✨
@@StellaHikes Oh wow! That is really terrific to know. How fluent are you in Tamil? Also, is there way to send an iphone pic of the AT and the Indian map side by side? This site does not allow attachments.

The Half Blood Prince is my favorite book in the series! I’m listening to it now on my work commute. I’ve listened to the series numerous times in Spanish and it was very weird to watch the movies in English.
Hey Nyx! Take the negativity as a measure of how well you're doing! The better you get, the more the trolls will hate. That's ok...more fuel for the fire! I love your videos! I finish my day watching your daily hike. It's very relaxing!
Stella, I've watched many thru hikes over the last few years, and you are the only one that I've had no doubt will finish ❤
Your doing just great . Keep that smile shining bright .
Stay Positive! Looking Good! Looking Strong! Thanks for sharing.
I just love your sweet laugh 🐱🐱🐱🐱, God 🙏 bless you
Most people who make negative comments are disgruntled with life and find fault in people who seem happy. Misery likes company. I do not give those people my ear or my time. You HIKE your hike the way that pleases YOU. Let no one set your pace for life. Kanati (The hunter).
I'm always amazed at the number of land owners agreed to let the AT go through their property. It's cool to realize how many wonderful people support the trail for us to enjoy. Thanks for posting.
Please don’t let the people that don’t know how to be happy and try to bring others to there level make you sad. You are a wonderful , beautiful soul. That I love to watch your videos. You make it look so peaceful. ❤ Stay safe and Happy Hiking 🏕🥾💕
How could anyone be negative to this SUPERSTAR young lady. Stella is banging out 25+ miles a day…. That’s freaking amazing. And she’s so nice !!!!
Don't listen to the negative people! This is your hike and you are kicking butt! I love your videos. Keep up the wonderful job.
Hmmm...i guess i miss the negativity? Should i ask...
Just here to offset some of the negativity. You’re crushing it! When you said you took 34 days to get through 1/4, I thought “holy cow, she’s fast!”
You need negativity to make positivity feel better in my small world
Just found your videos a couple weeks ago, wish I could binge watch them all at once. Think I saw you on Tara’s video for 2023 AT thru hikers. Good luck!
Don't let the haters get you down! Hike your own hike and know there are many more rooting for you and are in your corner!
When you check in on Tally will you please keep us updated? We’re all invested in what happens with him. You’re doing great out there! I start my mornings with you- coffee and a Stella Hikes video! 🕺🏻
Did you see the "Live" chat about Tally? The latest live chat (linked after this sentence) was from about a couple of days before "today's" Day 34 video: ruclips.net/video/1AdlKSg1G40/видео.html
Wishing you spring sunshine. SOON!
Adding my 2 cents... you are doing absolutely amazing. If people are here to follow an excellent hiker, enjoy the day with you, learn about life on the trail and all the hostels, weather and ups and downs, then you are in the right place. If people are throwing shade and negative comments, delete and move on to another hiker. There are so many hikers using the hostels too. Stella, you are doing great. I love that you're enjoying the hostels, I am learning so much from seeing them. You will have plenty of stretches where hostel hopping isn't possible, so enjoy now. Your power on the trail and overall content, views, and honesty draws me in. Thank you for taking me along on your adventure. 😊
I look forward everyday to seeing your progress. My husband & I are in our 70's & keep our hikes on the short side.
I'm most impressed by you putting on shoes and socks without sitting down with a full pack on😀. Must be all that yoga🧘
I can't imagine what negative things people could say about you or your videos. Some people just suck. I'm loving the videos and congrats on being 1/4 of the way 🎉.
Good morning! You sure are a brave, determined, cheerful young lady. I really enjoy your videos. Happy Hiking! ❤ Be careful & Stay safe
Good Morning Stella! Love my 7am alerts that you have posted a video ❤️. Yep girl, let that negativity from others slide right off your back! Congrats on your 1/4 of the way🎉😊. Continue north and safe travels.
I can’t believe anyone would have anything negative to say about you and your videos!! I’m so sorry but try not to let it weigh you down! You’re videos are amazing!
Ignore the haters - don’t even read the comments that don’t reinforce how amazing, positive and beautiful you and your videos are !!!! Sending enough love and positivity to rid you of them and the toxic negativity! ❤❤❤
Good job today. 👍👍
Proud of your accomplishments! You’re a joy to follow. Keep positive.
An interesting day for you. You're doing amazing. The ups a downs of our feelings. Take care of you. Keep trekking. 😀
Congratulations on making 1/4 of the way to Mount Katahdin in 34 days on the trail!! You are one of a few in this time frame. I have hiked enough to know how hard your hike has been and you have had several bumps in the road. What an accomplishment! Not many have made it across the river that you crossed today and had dry shoes. Sorry for the rainy weather because Burkes Garden is a beautiful place and it has some interesting history. I enjoyed it years ago in the car. I have leaned so much from you about the art of hiking difficult trails. Your years of experience shows. Thank you so much for taking the time to share that with me and many others on You Tube! Stay safe, take care of your feet and enjoy the trail!
You’re really moving right along. I love how cheerful you are despite things like the rain or a stream crossing with no bridge. Congratulations for passing the 1/4 mark.
Anyone that can hike 25 miles in the cold and rain, vlog daily and continue to smile, should ONLY be given ACCOLADES. Also with a boot rubbing. Love you Stella(Nyx). Enjoy your hiking.
Even on your off day you are still such a light to watch on this journey. Congrats on reaching 1/4!
Stella, you're a star. Turkey vultures are indeed a thing, and can be found virtually everywhere in the Lower 48. I wouldn't be surprised if those were the birds you saw. Also, there could be Wild Turkeys in those hills.
i love looking forward to watching your videos everyday. it’s so cool to follow along with someone on the trail! happy trails! 🏕️
Congratulations on your 1/4 AT milestone!! You are so impressive. You encourage others in ways you can't even imagine.
Congrats on 1/4! You're crushing it!🍻🇨🇦
Congratulations on your 1/4 milestone! You are amazing & thank you so much for taking us along & giving back to the AT community along the way.
Congratulations on making it one quarter of the way! You are an inspiration and so positive. Blessings to you on your journey!
Wow 1/4 of the trail is done🌻🌻amazing
I’m so glad you were able to get a nice warm shower and a comfy bed after all those cold wet miles💗💗💗
Negative people need to unload their sorry lives on someone, sorry it’s you. Keep on crushing it, you inspire me every day to get out there and hike!
Another 25….terrific! I wouldn’t worry about some small negativity here and there. Comes with the territory…:-). Great to see how you quickly bounced back.
Just watched your video. You are kicking butt on the trail. Nice you get to stay someplace warm for the night. Love your attitude after all this time. Good luck.
Congratulations on your first 1/4 milestone!🙂🙏
I could hug you for what you said at 12:43. It warmed me all over. Negativity is a succubus, but only if we give it the power. Nice river crossing, Nyx. ✌️
Stella. What can I say. But. good. Girl. 🎉🎉😅😊
Your doing amazing! Positive vibes!!!
Burkes Garden is a beautiful place to visit! I’m so glad you found a wonderful place to spend the night, inside, warm and dry! Ignore any and all negative comments! You are very inspiring to watch and I love all your vlogs!
You're going plenty fast, in fact you're crushing it. Good job!
I love the sound of the water....
The way to tell if it's a turkey vulture is their wings go in a V. If they are flat across it is something else. Thank goodness that river wasn't swollen like it had to of been to wash that bridge out. You were smart to take your shoes off in that shallow water because wet feet + cold have never made hikers happy. Congrats on the 1/4 of the way to Katahdin!
You are doing amazing!! Keep on being you. No reason to look for approval from others. You make it all look so easy... not only the hiking itself but also getting the video posted on time. Great job!
Keep up the great job of hiking and vlogging! I have really looked forward to your daily videos. I love the Harry Potter series too. Sorry you are feeling a little sad. Please ignore the negativity. Some people are chronically unhappy and feel the need to share that with others. God bless and keep you safe Stella. You are just flying down the trail!
Great job Stella!!! Never fun hiking in cold rain.
Ok Miss Sunshine, ignore the negativity and keep that gorgeous smile going. Look up to the treetops and beyond.
Yea on making it 1/4 of the way! You are cruisin'. Happy Hiking!!
I’ve been following you from your beginning, you have such a great attitude. I have done 9 days on the trail.
Stella got her groove back
Looks like another adventurous day. Thanks for sharing and ignore the negative nannies. They tend to be board with their lives
Don’t let the negativity ruin your day! I really like your videos. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Happy Trails 🎉
👏👏 congratulations 🎉🎉 👍 What I like about your vlog it is you really enjoy the trail and you always see and show us all the litlles and beautiful things along the hike 🌾☘️🌼💚
Congratulations on making 1/4 of the AT behind you. You are sharing an amazing hike. Thank you. Better weather is going to come. That water crossing would be welcome in the summer right, but now🙁 Have a good monday🌲
I’m really enjoying your journey! 25 miles is a 3-day hike for me 😂. You are an inspiration to so many people!!
Thanks!
Do you recall the name of the creek you had to ford?
578.2 - Total miles fm Amicalola Falls
25.6 - Miles for day 34, Mar 18(?)
17.0 - Avg. miles per day. Yesterday's was 16.7
19.3 - Avg. miles per day less the 4 zero days
Jun 21 - Estimated Katahdin summit date. Yesterday's was Jun 23.
Looking strong have fun and enjoy
I'm glad you safely forg ed the river and I'm glad you didn't have to get your shoes wet. That would have been miserable! I think I'll always bring water shoes for River crossing cuz I have such sensitive feet but I know lots don't want to carry that extra weight. Have a safe and beautiful week
My moma always said “if you ain’t got nothing nice to say then don’t say nothing at all “. Just remember, not everyone was taught these basic things. I am following you! Pink hot dog is following along so you please tune out the naysayers! I look forward to seeing your videos each day. Thank you Stella, for taking us along.🙏🏼🥰
Nice ! I'm going to go w/turkey vultures on the birds...
Great video! Thanks!
Try not to let the negative comments get you down,just keep enjoying all the beauty you are walking in,you are doing great and keep on smiling and have fun
Congratulations on the first 1/4 done. Take good care of your feet, you need them.
Heyyyyy Nyx, not sure what all the negativity has been in your comment feed as I pay little attention and so should you. Unfortunately our world today has more critics and haters and we need to just leave them be right where they belong, IN THEIR OWN LITTLE WORLD with themsleves!!!!
I pay more attention to your spirit, your drive, the love of the woods, the mountains and nature along with your happy go lucky attitude and your strong will and determination to push on ahead.
You certainly are on your way!!! 1/4 of the way to the top of Maine👣 🌄⛺️
The Sun always sets in the western sky and never on your day.
Dream big girl.
You go get it.
Katahdin awaits you and shines the way.
Happy safe footsteps to you.
Lots of love and good vibes from me and many others like me on here to you ❤️
Thanks for always taking us along with your journey 👣✌️💚🍀👣
My wife and I have been following your journey since the beginning and we are enjoying your adventure. We wish you all the best and look forward to your vlog each day. Hike your hike!
Congratulations on 1/4 of the way!
Love, love following you! Thanks for taking the time to video. Which backpack did you decide to take? It doesn't look like the one from your gear video. Also, you seem to always have your pack cover on, is there a reason ? thanks!!
Yes--I really like the broccoli slaw but you have to use it up fast! I love all the places you are able to stay on the AT. All the hostels and lodges look so cool. A much different way of hiking from the PCT and CDT, right? So excited for you as the miles go by!
Never allow negative comments to get you down, the truth is the more popular someone becomes the more haters or trolls come out, sometimes it's over jealousy or a warped perception being unable to place themselves in someone elses shoes and some just comment negatively for literally just attention. Example: We all know despite personal interest Ariana Grande is a talented singer, yet some people will call even her an awful vocalist because calling her awful brings them attention, and I mean c'mon she's a super incredible talent. Your like that level in the hiking community right now. Let is pass like water off a ducks back and keep on hiking. 🥰
Hang in there! You are doing great! Ignore the bad comments!
You are an amazing hiker! I do hope you find some hikers to hike with or meet up with eventually. You are way ahead of the bubble. When you encounter criticism whether negative or positive, it provides you with the opportunity to look at it like a mirror. If it’s true, make changes, if it’s not true, smile and carryon!
I bet what you saw was wild turkey 🦃They get pretty big. buzzards normally roost unless their feeding on something dead. If you're a huge Harry Potter fan, if you haven't already seen it, you should visit Orlando Studios. The wife and I went last year and it was amazing. Awesome Harry Potter rides.
Another great vid Stella👍 I just wish they were longer!!😃 Congrats on reaching 1/4 distance💪
Can't imagine why you would get any negative comments,you are doing fantastic, filming is great, your attitude is great I can't imagine walking in the conditions you've had and still be smiling. Have a great day.
Sending you positivity. ❤❤❤
Hi Stella! You're doing great. I can't imagine how anyone could leave any negative comments on your posts! I don't do social media or read other comments on youtube. A good majority of people tend to type things that they would never have the nerve to say...don't let it bother you! Keep on trucking and thanks for sharing 😊 Be safe out there! PS I did hear "pink hotdog" from playground earth tv mention you earlier...pretty cool
First of all who is being negative in your comments?!!?? I will kick their arse!! Everybody be cool in here this lady is doing her thing and is proving to be a rockstar!! Second, Nyx, yeah you probably saw some turkey vultures. They are all over the south cleaning the woods of the deceased. Keep rockin' the trail and stay safe!
Congratulations my friend on making on making it 1/4 of a way try not to let negative people get you down I know it's hard sometimes you are an amazing woman keep on having fun and be very safe out there all my best Ramon
I also wanted to drown out the negativity. I was sitting here eating my lunch watching your Burkes Garden video. I am an old codger (but a recent AT hiker!). It’s too bad you had fog/rain at the Chestnut Hill Knob Shelter Overlook. I tented there and it’s a beautiful view of Burkes Garden. We enjoy watching your videos and daily dose of sunshine. You’re doing great. Hike to the beat of your own drummer!
Prepper I watch him hike too. He's seems to be a really nice guy. Glad to see that you have made it 1/4 of the way. And Prepper stayed at the same hostel that you stayed at. Stay safe and warm. And he had to pull his shoes off to to cross that same water crossing. Safe travels. 🙂🙂👍👍
Regarding the birds- but turkey sized birds in a flock that flew up and soar (especially riding thermals, circling) yes could well be turkey vultures. I am not in your current area but am a former wildlife rehabber who has worked with them- cool. Enjoying your videos!
I agree. I’m from this area, that is what they are for sure!!
I'm sorry you're having to deal with negativity. I love your videos, and am so impressed by your AT journey so far. Physically inspiring, obviously, but also mentally inspiring. I wish I dealt with my daily (minor) irritations in life even half as well as you're dealing with much more important impacts on your day!
Congratulations on 25%!
Okay, 75% more trail to go, which means that we’ll have you for a few more days. 😂
Such varied and interesting adventures you have shared with us on this hike. Thanks and Happy Trails. 1/4 GA▸ME 🎉
Ignore the haters. You’re a piece of sunshine.
Just heard another hiker refer to you. Playground Earth (pink Hotdog) had a dog run up to him. He mentioned your adventure with Tally. Haha. He and his wife Mushroom hiked the AT last year and he is back this year flip flopping. Saw you also on Jeff and Mayla’s RUclips. You’re famous. 🥰

Welcome to Virginia, hike your own hike your killing it😊
Just a thought for you to consider for you ankle issue. I do not have any medical training, but this personal experience may be relevant. I had a minor injury on my foot and it was extremely painful to touch and from any pressure from shoes or walking. I tried various padded bandages, which provided additional cushioning, but still put enough pressure on the spot to cause pain. I then tried a corn/bunion cushion, a doughnut shaped bandage with adhesive on one side. It fit my situation perfectly. The doughnut hole kept direct pressure off the spot, but the cushioning provided a buffer against shoes and socks. Maybe you could use that concept and make a doughnut type cushion for your ankle with some type of foam or by cutting a hole in a bandage pad. You could use a self-gripping athletic bandage to hold it in place if adhesive is unavailable or ineffective on an ankle. Hope this might be of help, but if not, you get what you pay for. Peace, Love and Kindness.
Awesome job Stella on the 1/4 mark to mama k...Do the best you can to block out the unnecessary comments...Some people just don't have a life...Just focus on you and the ones that matter will be pulling for you all the way.. Keep pushing NOBO 🙌...Also I was out on trail in my area Saturday and meet a few hikers behind you and they are aware of you killing it in front of them and A machine was the description most gave of you...Thought you might get a kick out of hearing that...
