      Kyle man I love the videos
      But the absolute cheek of you dissing nickelback when you put this fucking headache-inducing skinny-jean-fuckboy emo bullshit in your videos just blows my mind.
      Legit would listen to nothing else but nickelback for the rest of my life if I never had to hear another shrill, whiny lad that sounds like his nuts are in his throat, bitching about some stupid shit like ugh my eyeliner broke so now I'm so devastated that I have to cut myself to feel emotions again
      You're young Kyle
      I was there the first time around
      When this shit came out and derailed the badass nu metal scene and made everything fucking lame
      Get rid of it

    As an Oregonian, I started nodding when u mentioned the 'cold I can handle..rain I can handle...but the cold and the rainy..that is too much'. nothing hurts so bad as painful cold rain biting into to you. I cannot tell you how many times I have paused for an hour or two(in my tent) to let the rain pass by here in the Cascade Mountains.

    I was camping in a tent, working on helicopters in the Horn of Africa, in 2014 during the Ebola Outbreak. Wasn’t 100% sure I’d make it back. I’ve seen a lot of places in the world. More than most can say at 35. But I am jealous of how much more of our country you have seen. I may never get a chance to do a thru hike…Married with kids. I enjoy watching all you guys enjoy doing all this stuff.

    Couldn’t even imagine how difficult it was coming down E. Baldpate in the rain. Sketchy is an understatement. Dangerous for sure. Long Mtn. was a bear on the east side. West side not as difficult. Quintessential Maine hike for sure.

    So even when you hike with someone, you’ll split up along the way if you’re going at different paces and just meet at camp or down the trail a ways? I love this idea. I’m always stuck hiking with slower people. To bad I doubt they would be down for me leaving them all behind lol
