Really enjoying your hike (I discovered your channel while looking for LT videos as I am planning a thru hike on it in September/October).
The world felt small in this video when you met my friend and fellow SAR teammate, Lost and Found (I actually gave him his trail name!). I figured it had to be the right ‘Lost and Found’ when you mentioned his background, and then I heard his voice and knew for sure!
I look forward to watching your next video and happy trails! 😊
oh heck ya!! small world indeed. thanks for checkin out the video and commenting too! Lost n Found was awesome and had really good info about the trail ahead. definitely appreciated the boiled water for my dinner too. im headin out to pisgah now actually! by the way good luck on your hike, a sept/oct thru hike sounds magical, i know you're gonna enjoy it. cheers
