Thank you so much for the taking us with you on this Appalachian Trail 2024 journey. I watch 2 or 3 people dp the trail every year. I have never seen footage like you have shared. Amazing! I know it wasn't easy and sometimes I was scared to death you or Bluegrass would fall to your death. I have watched you since day one and thank you so much for the journey. I wish you could take the best parts of your journey and make a LONG video for us to watch. I would love to see you do the Pacific Crest Trail next year or year after. I will continue watching your channel. God bless you and your family.
This is my first time watching any of your videos, I thought the nature looked really incredible. It seems you have been doing this for a long time and have come a long way! Everyone is saying your leaving soon i wish you the best ☺️
We have been following you from the start! I call you simply cousin Chuck. I'm a Howell from the mountains of Ashe County, N C It has been a great journey 😊
I cant thank you enough for documenting your journey on the AT. I am happy that you will still post here on RUclips. I cant lie, im going to miss both of you.❤
Oh my! So close and the adventure has been a joy for us to watch! It will be bittersweet. Our nightly entertainment with Bandit and Bluegrass is ending! Thanks a million for sharing the views! Blessings on you two as you transition back to a normal life.
You’ve made these last few months a something to look forward to to. Congratulations on your journey. Thank you for taking us all along. I await the final climb. 😊
I can’t believe this is your last night on trail. I’m going to really miss you guys and your adventures on trail. I know it had to be so emotional these last few days. I have so enjoyed all your videos, Bluegrass’s too. 😊
This adventure of yours has been a major inspiration for me! I am only 51, but I've started loosing weight and doing some conditioning so I can attempt it in probably 2026!
Wow, been with you guys since day one of your journey. So glad you two stuck together. Looking forward to your wrap up on the hike. Excited for the summit.
Glad to hear you will do more hiking after this epic journey is done. I hope you get the chance to hike the trail from Amicalola Falls to Springer Mountain!
Im only watching from afar and I'm feeling emotional for you and Bluegrass. Mama K is in sight. I'm going to miss the videos. You and Bluegrass have done such a wonderful job sharing with us.
One of the most enjoyable video diaries of the AT I’ve ever had the pleasure of viewing. I hope, by some miracle, there’s a moose waiting for you somewhere today!
I got choked up watching this one. I can only imagine all the emotions you must've felt. Hiking on Mama K's skirt tails. Faithfully committed to the finish. I want to thank you for answering all of my comments. No other hiker has ever done that. I am so excited to watch tomorrow's video!! Matt 25:21 "You have been faithful over a few things. I will make you ruler over many things."
Thank you so much for bringing us along. I know you’re filled with excitement and anticipation. Be safe on the way up the mountain. I have thoroughly enjoyed every video you have posted. Can’t wait to see your summit video. Thanks again for taking the time to document your journey!
I am excited for you both! Mama K is becoming so real!! Can't wait to see you both Summit!! I will really miss this journey with you both! Love the Waterfall on here!! I can already see the emotions in you on here. Great video!!!
Awesome job!! You guys are both amazing! It has been a pleasure watching you on this journey! Thank you so much for taking us along with you. I look forward to your summit video!
This reminds me of watching the last season of your favorite tv show. The episodes go by until you get to that season finale episode. The excitement builds but then the show goes off and there is that feeling that something is missing! I’m gonna miss your adventure, but I’m very happy that you lived out one of your dreams! To quote a line from one of my favorite British sitcoms, Are you being Served, Mr Grace the owner of a large department store named appropriately “Grace Brothers” would always say to his staff, “you all done very well! 😁 I wish you all the best in your retirement and many more adventures to enjoy! Rick
I have done white water rafting down the Penobscot many times!! What another great video so many emotions, I can only imagine what yours had been. I almost don’t want to watch summit day now as I know that will be the end of the journey, but I will 😂😂
Nearly there. I recall the first episode and then the injury and did think you may have been about to bail out at that time. It’s been great watching from the UK 👍
@@ChuckHowell-Outdoors Thanks, you both were great! I started 3 days after you but had to stop at mile 816 (couple days north of Glasgow, Va.). I will be 75 in 5 days. I had a tripping/falling problem that I am trying to rehab and if I can, I may return to where I stopped and head north next year? I was SO impressed with you guys and Grayman!! Congratulations on Katahdin due to your great strength and perseverance and wonderful attitude - I am so happy for all 3 of you!! God Bless
@@ChuckHowell-Outdoors nice 6 months that is around average time let it takes to walk the Appalachian trail from Springer mountain to katahdin thank you for letting me know you have a blessed day God bless
Can't wait to see you summit I'm sure there will be tears of joy just a flowing. 🥲 Definitely looking forward to watching it congratulations on the epic journey. And way to represent NC 🙌

Keep checking back. You might see both in the future
This exhausted school teacher who has to be up at 5:45 couldn’t go to bed until I watched today’s video. No saving until tomorrow at this point!
Hahahahahha. Thank you. Didn’t mean to make you lose sleep

Very cool! Thanks. Hey. You might be. We’re in the same state!!
@@ChuckHowell-Outdoors I had an uncle who migrated in your direction when I was just a twinkle in dad's thoughts. We would go visit occasionally.
Congrats. I've been watching since you started. Hope to see you on another trail.
Awesome! Thank you! You likely will

It's been fun watching your journey, kind of strange knowing you have already finished the trail as I watch this video.
Well..........I don't want to ruin the ending
Awesome!

Oh man, I told my husband y'all won't sleep a wink tonight. He said I'm not sure you will. I am getting excited.
You got that right!
I looking forward to your summit video tomorrow
Thanks
Great work guys!

Awesome watching your hike. Glad you got registered. Can you tell me the brand of shirt you have been wearing everyday? The blue one? TIA
Hahahahah. It's nothing special. It's Roadbox brand bought from Amazon
@@ChuckHowell-Outdoors Seems to be suited well for warmer and cooler weather. Thanks for your response and congratulations!!!
It looks awful now, but it performed well. Other than it held the stink after a while
How far of a walk was it from where you camped to where you had to sign up for the Birches?
I think it was less than a half a mile
Im so excited to see the next video and your summit!
It's right around the corner
Very clear video. What is your phone?
iPhone 15 pro
You guys did an AMAZING job! Do you mind saying how old you two are?
I’m 63, Bluegrass is 54

Yeah. I fell a lot as well. I just got lucky that I usually landed on a soft spot. Hopefully you heal soon and can get back out there.
Right on Bandit
Boom!!
I bet it's bitter sweet feeling. What did you do with Grayman? Y'all stay safe and congrats.
Oh, he's around doing his own thing.
Hey bandit when in February did you start please let me know thank you
Feb 18

Another great video Bandit! Are uploading these at 3 am?? Anyway thank you for bringing us along.
Not intentionally. I usually set them to come out at 3:00pm
The goal is in sight! Sleep well.
Yes it is. Thank you
PCT is coming next year.
Maybe....but I kinda doubt it will be next year.
