Well, this was the first time my sleeping bag wetted out on the inside as well as the outside. It makes me feel better about my new zpacks tent that it happened to you for the first time out here too. We were all in this together. It was great to meet you, thanks for coming out and many happy trails ahead!
Yeah. I love my Duplex. I really do think that the air was so saturated that it couldn’t be helped. I went through many hard rain showers and never had any problem. My quilt was the same way. That was an anomaly and definitely not the norm. Good talking with you.
So glad to hear from you guys again. Glad you got to spend time with your sons. Try not to be so long between post, we got used to watching you guys every night. Be blessed, enjoyed hearing from you again!!
I’ll try to post more often. Hopefully at least once a week. I had to spend some time healing my leg and working through a bit of post hike depression.
6:37 Fresh Grounds seems like a great guy. Ramdino gives off bad vibes. Hope I’m wrong. Michael and Leo, Mama Bear. I watched them. I guess Waffle wasn’t there.
To be truthful, I struggled a bit with the transition. Post hike depression is real. But I’m back on my feet again and doing well. It does feel good to be recognized. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s nice when it does.

It was great seeing you again! Happy Trails!!
Thanks Nickels!! Good to see you again as well!
So great to see you again!! Bluegrass too!!!❤
Thanks. It’s good to be back out there.
2024 was an incredible class of hikers. Thanks for documenting your journey! Happy New Years!
It really was, and we had a great year in which to do it. I’m sure the class of 25 will be awesome as well!
It’s great to see Bandit back on trail !
Thanks. Good to be back out there.
Happy to see you and Bluegrass back on the trail. Wishing you a happy, healthy year.
Thanks. I wish you the same. It was good to be back out there. My knee prevented me from doing it for a while, but it’s getting better every day.
So great to see you and Bluegrass got to go, but sorry about the weather. Happy New Year!😊❤
Yeah, the weather was rough, but it was still a great hike!
Awesome video and seeing many of the 2024 class in the video!
Thanks! Good to meet some for the first time, and good to reconnect with others!
Great hanging out with you guys
Thanks Master Splinter. Good seeing you again.
So good to see you again!
Thanks. It felt good to be back out there.
Glad to see the bands back together!
At least for one more encore 😂
Good to see you again my friend!
Thanks, glad to be hiking again.
Good to see y’all God bless
Thanks. 🙏🏻
So glad to see you again! We've had Chuck withdrawal symtoms since you completed the AT. Hope you can do more hikes....maybe in better weather.
I’m planning a few hikes this year. Likely solo in some of them. And yeah, hopefully in better weather.
Great running into you and Bandit as you were coming into Fresh Grounds on day 1. Have really enjoyed your journey.
Hi Flower Power. It was great meeting you as well. Hopefully we get to do it again next year.
I think you mean Bluegrass.
@@JimLadd-t7xoops! You’re correct! Sorry, Bandit!
@ my pleasure. We knew what you meant. 😀
Yeah. I knew what you meant as well 😂
Great to see you guys hiking again, sorry it didn’t turn out so great. You got to spend some time with friends and that’s a win any day!
Any day spent with family and friends is a good day. Thanks😄
Good to see you!
Thank you!
Hey Bandit! Good to see you. Good job staying vertical! Happiest of New Years to you and the family.
Happy New Years to you as well! I tripped over roots a few times, but kept my butt off the ground 😂
Good to see you out on trail again Chuck! Even tho you had the wet weather, you got to see some friends on trail. Take care.
Thanks, it was a great weekend despite the weather!
We enjoyed meeting you and Bluegrass...it was a tad bit soggy out there but fun none the less. Happy New Year!
It was great to meet you as well! Rain stopped the hike, but not the fun. Take care and Happy New Year.
So great seeing you again. Miss you two! ☺ Happy 2025!
Thanks for watching, and we are back at it again for 2025!
@@ChuckHowell-Outdoors I am SOOOO excited for this! ☺
Happy New Year guys! We met Ramdino in front of Tom Levardi's house on his sobo section hike !😊Happy Trails from the "Ottawa Way Cafe " BACON WRAP 😊
Hi Bacon Wrap!! Good to hear from you!!!!. I had many email exchanges with Ramdino, but it was good to finally meet him on person. Take care!
Bluegrass and Bandit back on trail. It's a good day. 😊
Hahaha. Thanks. Even with the bad weather, it was a good day!!
@@ChuckHowell-Outdoors No doubt!
Great seeing you and Bluegrass again! I’m hoping for a post-AT review, including thoughts and gear. Plus, how’s your leg?
Working on it! My leg is getting better, but it had me down for a while.
Glad to hear you’re healing up. Hoping nothing permanent. Looking forward to the reviews! Take care
Nothing permanent. Doc said it’s just a calcium deposit on my knee cap. It should dissolve over time.
@ That’s good to hear 👍
Thanks, Bandit. I was wondering how you were doing (health). 😊
Yeah, Bandit and Bluegrass back together!
Hopefully we get to do more hikes sometime.
Your legs must be feeling a lot better.
Hike safe.
Thanks Brian. Legs aren’t quite 100% but getting there.
@ last time I saw you, 9 holes was a challenge. Glad to see you put there.
Much better!! Not 100%, but better.
6:37 Fresh Grounds seems like a great guy. Ramdino gives off bad vibes. Hope I’m wrong.
Michael and Leo, Mama Bear. I watched them.
I guess Waffle wasn’t there.
No. Didn’t see waffles. And Ramdino is really a great guy. If it came across poorly, it was due to my camera work.
How has the post trail transition been? Also, how does it feel to now be recognized in public by RUclips watchers?
To be truthful, I struggled a bit with the transition. Post hike depression is real. But I’m back on my feet again and doing well. It does feel good to be recognized. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s nice when it does.
