Hey Kelly, was just watching your great video and notice the last place you camped on day 26 was on our land, no worries you are more than welcome it was just kind of cool to see it. Happy trails.
Bet you can’t wait to replace those shoes!! Haha. Love this kind of video. I like when you show what you’re cooking/eating out there and love the tent views each morning. Keep em coming
Spent fall/winter in the banana belt of Montana once. I can recommend you visit the Helena Cathedral, Last Chance Gulch, and Mt. Helena Park next time you visit.
This might be a dumb question, But with Allergies why don't hikers look for local honey? If you get honey that is real honey and local, You won't have the allergy problems. It has all the pollen's that you are reacting to. I think just a honey bear is around 8 bucks but in a few days you don't have any issues.
It's hard to get local honey from all the different areas a hiker would be hiking through along the entire trail. On top of that, it takes time for the pillen in the honey to affect the body. The hikers would be long gone from the area before the honey had any effect.
@@stockbulll Actually local honey is pretty easy to find, Most feed stores have it. In ranch country pretty much every town has a feed store. It only takes about 2 days for the benefit of honey to kick in. Anyway here in the West it is easy to find.
Nothin' like a cold dip to fire up the immune system. 👍 Your burrito looked so good! Hope you're finding something helpful for your allergies. Rest well 🌲🏕🌲
That did look pretty darn good. I remember those videos where you were on a roll with cooking dinners : ). My wife and family are heading for Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park this Sunday.
I love even in middle of nowhere USA you can usually find an Asian restaurant of some sort. How many shoes are you planning on going through on this hike? How much money do you have allocated for things like dining out and hotel rooms? Speaking of hotel rooms, you paid $100 one night and the next night they wanted to charged you $175 for the same room? You do need an umbrella.
Hope you’re going (or went) to the Sweet Palace in Phillipsburg. The huckleberry fudge is legendary. May not be a good idea to fill your backpack with it before going through bear country 😂.
As usual, you showed me a few things I've never seen, and made me laugh. Leaving the Days Inn behind at $170 a night is an example of the latter. You read my mind there. I don't stay in them at any price, but I admire your fortitude. You're more entertaining than most movies/shows, so I'll send another $ contribution soon.
All I know is that when I was in my 20s, I only hiked the backcountry daily distances she often does a few times, and sometimes hurt myself doing it. I'm amazed she's pulling off those distances with that gear and that terrain. These days, I hike no more than 10-ish miles (if that), and I consider that a hike! It doesn't matter where, when, what I'm carrying, or whether it's overnight. I'm in my 60s tho'
You must go through a lot of sneaker/hiking boots. When I used to run I had to replace my sneakers Every other month or less. Good Job and thanks for Sharing. Good group your hiking with.
@@kellyhays23 wow got it, good to know! I’m a hammock camper might convert to tarp camper depending on the trip. Thanks for the response! Happy trails!
Every year about this time, when the weather is very hot and has been for quite a while, I sadly read about some kids swimming in some FL lake or pond and then later that night develop a head ache and the parents give them children's Tylenol to relieve the pain thinking its sun or heat exposure. But the head ache progresses and then the child starts to fade quickly often showing very weak vitals, with sluggish motor skills or even drifting in and out of consciousness. The parent then takes the child to the ER and they do tests looking for all sorts of possibilities. But they don't seem to add up swimming in very warm lake water with an amoeba infection. The amoeba have burst in the unusually warm fresh water and enter usually through the child's nose and eyes and migrate into the brain and begin attacking the brain often doing very serious or even fatal damage. So maybe ask yourself, is that lake water really unusually warm or even like bath water warm? It just might be experiencing an amoeba bloom and don't go swimming. If you do, watch for the symptoms and any signs of head ache, sluggishness, dizziness, blurred vision, or even fainting or loss of consciousness. There are probably a lot of other details I have left out. This is just what I remember hearing and reading about, tragically once or twice a Summer during the hottest weather.
Greater than 50% of the episodes she is at a place with a bed and food. I think she hikes 25% of the trail and slack packs, or zeros some place, the rest of the time.
Oh sweetheart…... Ooorrrrr it’s because I hike 25-30 mile days to get there making my food carries shorter. (While you sit on your couch and make stupid assumptions)
Day #7 of the people's petition for Kelly Hays to become the official spokesperson for Dinty Moore beef stew. You ever since a Clif bar wrapper on a job site? Me neither.
Sorry. Love Kelly but hiking from trail, to town, to resupply, to hotel room, back to trail is monotonous. Rather see more of true trekking where you carry all your supplies for 10 days. Thru hiking reminds me of college road trip without a car.
You on the wrong RUclips channel bub. No one out here is carrying 10 days of food unless they only doing 10-15 miles a day lol this isn’t an expedition channel this is THRU HIKING!!!!

Stay cool out there.Thanks for the feature and for stopping by. Happy trails.
Thank yall for having such a great store!!!
Good video. That little container of grated cheese is a great hack. It should help the taste of many things. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick
This is totally awesome video!! It's amazing how you add all the side adventures to main trail adventure. Brilliant and exciting!😅
Really enjoying tagging along vicariously on your hike. Thanks for all the great hiking tips. Nice Tramily for hiking with too.

For me eating the crappy hiker food is what causes my allergies to flare up 😅
And… and more importantly this doesn’t work. It works a little, but c’mon it maybe helps 15% max.
Local honey helps me after I have been eating it for a couple weeks. Her environment is changing so rapidly it probably won't do much.

Loved all of the food in this one!

Yup, P-Burg's fudge shop is a nice stop. Cool town!
Best one yet! Looks like you had fun.

Wasn’t aware until this comment section that there were so many specific rules about what constitutes “real hiking” 😜
Wild huh? lol RUclips couch trolls should write a rule book for hiking

Nice I gotta get my daily dose of adventure
Montana is renown for its wide open spaces, sushi, and random helicopters.
The sleeping giant reminds me of mt susitna in Anchorage Alaska which we call the sleeping lady across the Cook Inlet Excellent video today!
Really enjoyable,thanks for sharing
Was that stream you were in Sylamore creek cold or White River cold lol. 😂 thanks for another great video
Great update and thanks for the "hiker trash burrito " recipe. How much water do You carry on 20 miles of dry trail?
2.5 L
Can the water in the stream be drunk or does it need to be boiled first?
It gets filtered through my sawyer
You must go through a lot of sneaker/hiking boots. When I used to run I had to replace my sneakers Every other month or less. Good Job and thanks for Sharing. Good group your hiking with.
You have so much fun and have wonderful videos 0:48
Trunk ride..😂 love it❤
Hi! Thanks for the great content! I noticed your pad on the outside of your pack. What do you do with it when it starts to rain?
I leave it! It doesn’t soak in water
@@kellyhays23 wow got it, good to know! I’m a hammock camper might convert to tarp camper depending on the trip. Thanks for the response! Happy trails!
I have lots of catching up to do!! Be safe y’all…❤
Wait, how do you refull fuel like that?! I need to know!
Look up a flip fuel !
What happened to the surprise visitor they were supposed to have? Did I miss it?

No worries all bodies of water we have jumped in have been freezing cold
@@kellyhays23 You haven't heard about the "Ice Water Ameoba"?
I would imagine that sushi spot gets destroyed by hikers on the regular
Yeah they gave us a 1.5 hour time limit 🤣🤣
First !!!! Love you Kellyyyyyyy!!!!
Helena mt. Day 25,,, I didn’t catch it at first but how much of the cdt are you doing
Going all the way to Mexico
This ain't the AT. You've already had more yummy food than you did the whole AT. At least it looks like that to me. ❤U
Oh man this is far from true, but I make sure to do it extra big when we do get into town!
@@kellyhays23 ahh, ok, we love you. Best wishes 🙏
@@onelovemon1784 love you!!! ❤️
Great idea to jump into cold water on a hot day, you can actually die of shock
I flirt with death everyday out here
@@kellyhays23 🤣
And don't forget about those Ice Water Ameobas too!
@@kellyhays23 😂
lol!!!That sushi place is going to ban thru hikers from all you can eat!
Thanks!
THANK YOU!!!!
Pizza hut cheese sticks are the best
Yessss!
I live in Montana and it is 96 today. Too hot for me.

How long you have been doing youtube channel you start it ??

The trail goes through Helena?
You have to hitch in but it comes close
Guess you decided not to buy an umbrella while in town 🌞🌞
They didn’t have the one I needed
Are you taking the Butte cutoff?
Nevermind - I watched tell the end and found out that you're heading to Anaconda. Good on you guys!
Keens all day
9:44 what kind of socks you have on??? the yellow ones???

Has anybody ever said you kind of look like Alexa Bliss?
No but thank you!
