@sandpine99 not the Florida trail particularly. But we’ve been hiking just outside of Tampa recently and the water seems high in the rivers and lakes but nothing bad. I’m more curious about the AT. I’ve read some parts are completely closed.
@@destinyritter1221 there are parts in nc and tn that are closed. There are still lots of people that need help. But so are the business that depend on hikers and visitors. Plenty of places on the AT that are open. All of GA and up to Fontana are fine.
So glad you popped up on. My stream!!! One of my goals if I ever get well enough!! Are you doing a through hike??? Man looks so peaceful!! Keep going and keep videos coming!! Just subscribed!
Enjoyed your film of this hike. I did mute the sound , that music after a few minutes gets repetitious and annoying , might just be me. After all this is your video and my mute button works quite well , enjoy the hike as you go along. The hike is what matters , the destination doesn't.
@@Oldsparkey lol.. yes that mute button come in handy. Specially when I am struggling to get air in climbs and I’m recording myself talking. 🤣. See day 5 please. I fixed the audio track then.
@@steveblindlost9424 yes it is. I fixed this on Day 5 after someone else pointed it out. The new version of iMovie I am using is not like the old one that lowers the volume during video and not during still shots. I am now doing that manually. See day 5 of this hike please and let me know if is better. I am doing the volume manually now.
Hey Sandpine! You seem like a lovely person and I'm going to enjoy your journey.....but PLEASE lose the repetitive music! ha It's totally annoying and it actually interferes with your voice. I think lots of folks would just love to hear your voice and the sounds of you walking the trail. Just my opinion.
@@tinchina85 thanks for the suggestion. Please see day 5. I fixed the audio track starting with that video. I use free video editor and didn’t do a good job at lowering the volume. But I bet the music is better than my heavy mouth breathing as I go up climb and I’m almost dying. lol….
LOL... trust me, no issues with doing it in the woods. I was just stating how convenient it is to use the privy. I am not used to seeing these many "bathrooms" on a trail. No such things where I normally hike. Nothing like pooping with a view at top of a mountain. Besides who wants to deal with the smell and higher risk of Nora virus spread. :-).
@@frankynodots thanks for the suggestion. For the next video, I’ll either lower the volume on it or remove it during video. Maybe keep it for the pictures. But trust me, you don’t want to hear my heavy breathing! lol…
Oh wow... I just went back to re-watch these. Thank you for pointing this out. I use iMovie for this since I keep it simple and on the go to edit videos while on trail. Normal, iMovie does a decent job of fading the music to almost nothing when a video clip shows. Then when pictures are shown, the music theme ramps up. I went back to see my old videos and iMovie was doing a better job at it. The new iMovie with iOS 18 seems to not fade properly. I'll have to manually turn it down on future videos. You are right, it is annoying. Thanks again.
@@fredrickriffel5845 I go hike to get lost in the woods and get away from people. But in the AT and even in the fall, I ran into more hikers than what I am used to or prefer.
@@burpetheadthe trail is not safe any more. Crime is just not reported in the news. I know because I live near the AT. Alot of us will no longer tent camp. Alot of stealing. Cars at trail heads being Brocken into. Not to stay at certain shelters. Go find the missing people if you think the AT is so safe.
I like the way you post hiking vids, man. Great content!
@@scout005 thank you. I’ll return around Christmas to do another section.
So good to see you out on the AT Sandpine! You’re an inspiration!
@@destinyritter1221 thank you. Have you all gone out to the Florida Trail again? Hopefully the water/floods have gone down by now.

Well wishes i will be on AT March 2025 . I will be documenting my journey as well . Happy hiking 🥾
Good luck to you. Hope to see some of your vids.
@ Thank you
You as well ✨🥾

@@ronbenjamin4351 thanks Ron. I can only section hike the AT as I take PTO from that thing called job. 😄
Love the video ENJOY!

You must be running to make it 60 miles in two days with an uphill grade and take side trips.
@@Chefgator I more like crawling. I may have misspoke somewhere. I did close to 70 miles over 7 days section hike.
Enjoying the videos and scenery but, that music gets to be very annoying, sorry.

You're really going to have to learn to poop in the woods and not rely on a privy. Otherwise, this is going to be an uncomfortable trip for you.😁

The continuous music has to go. An intro is fine though...

Another great day on trail.
Nice campsite.
Agree about the music
Music is annoying,
Fixed a bit on Day 5 and after.
Should never hike alone.
The AT is a very safe and social trail with over 1,000 people completing the trail every year solo.
@@fredrickriffel5845 I go hike to get lost in the woods and get away from people. But in the AT and even in the fall, I ran into more hikers than what I am used to or prefer.
@@sandpine99 I would not be worried about other people but health problems or getting hurt being alone. That is the reason to hike with a buddy..
Nada this late!@@burpethead
