My name is Tony. I enjoy long walks along the trail, love tree burls, and have a squeaky backpack.
I thru hiked the Long Trail over 21 days during July and August 2023. This video captures my first week on the trail covering Mile 0 to Mile 104, from Pine Cobble Road to The Inn at the Long Trail.
I almost cried when upon returning home, I discovered my camera settings were inadvertently adjusted, resulting in footage quality well below my expectations. Washed out colors at times and grainy footage in low light. It took a while, but I’m over it.
I take time to record and edit these videos so one day when I’m an old(er) man, I can sit back relive my younger days. In addition, I hope others who love to plan trips like I do over the winter months can possibly gain something from watching. I attempted to capture the reality of the trail with its beauty and challenges, along with interactions with fellow hikers. To aid folks pouring over maps and the guidebook, I added shelter names, road crossings and other points of interest as captions.
Well, I hope you enjoy the video, and it doesn’t suck too bad. LOL
Awesome stuff! Really good shots and the burl schtick is hilarious! Question... what are you carrying your 7 days worth of food in? Bear can? What size? And do you know your pack weight for a carry that long? Thanks...heading over to week 2!
@@fearfeasog thank you. I use an Ursack for food storage. My base weight is around 20-21. The heaviest my pack was during this trip was the first week when I had carried 7 days of food. Pack weight was about 34 lbs on day 1.
Just curious, what month did you start?
@@justinvisser7609 started on 7/21 and ended on 8/10. I delayed my start by a week until GMC gave the green light after the major flooding event last year.
Tony, excellent quality video, keep them coming. You stay in great shape, “Be ready so you don’t have to get ready”. Great shots of the woods and sun rays.
Thank you. I appreciate the positive feedback.😁👊🏼
Just came across your videos. The long trail is a dream of mine, and your video was a really good find. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the kind feedback my friend!😁
Thanks for the video can’t wait for spring
Thank you.😁
That was awesome, cannot wait for the next one! Appreciate you showing the shelters.
Thank you sir. I thought showing shelters would benefit others planning their trips. I know I initially plan my trips around places I would like to visit and cool shelters I would like to stay at. Happy hiking!😁
Another great video, Tony! Looking forward to week 2!!
Thanks Tony. Great seeing you on the trail my friend. Thanks again for the trail magic.😊
I enjoyed your video! I was just ahead of you last summer thru-hiking the AT. Going to finish the LT this summer!
Thank you. Enjoy your LT thru hike this summer Joanne.😁
This is awesome can’t wait for the next sections I’m planning on doing this either this summer or next. Love the shelters and inn of the long trail is awesome I’ve stayed there before
Thank you Laura. Hopefully, I’ll be done with the second week this week. The quality of footage should have been better, but it still looks decent on paper honestly display. Do not watch in a TV!🤮😂😂😂
Loved this!
Thank you sir!😁
I and many views here really want to thank you for the time you put in to record your hike. We all are in gratitude for the work you put in. I must stay you hike and LT has started the spark in me to do the same and head out on the LT. I live here in Vermont. I heard much about this trail. If viewing your video, it is impressive how much the terrain changes from shelter to shelter and foot path to foot path! Thank you again and I look forward to more of your work. Oh, one last thing could share your insight and training on what you did to perpare for hiking the LT? My humble to y'all The Vermont Cowboy Yeti and his wonder dog Tomikee.
Thank you Ross…or VT Cowboy Yeti!😂
I don’t train specifically for the trail. I work out with weights and a little cardio a few times a week. I feel that the southern 100 miles trained me for the remainder of the trail due to being a bit more mellow than the northern portion.
This is badass! I originally subscribed for the ski content, but this is really cool and great editing. Looking forward to the next video!
Thank you Dennis. It was an awesome time.😁
I live in Killington, you got lots of rain on your hike last year !
That’s no joke! I postponed it a couple weeks due to the flooding emergencies from the earlier storms.😳
"Wash away my funk"
So true!😂😂😂
It doesn't suck at all! And I'm not just saying that because I'm your sister. Nice work! I LOVE WOODS, so this was an awesome watch. Waiting patiently, along with the rest of your fans, for the next installment. Love you.
Awwwwww, thanks sis!😊
ATers say the new blood from Long trail hikers makes that a great experience on trail
That’s a cool perspective. I enjoy their company as well. I experienced it in the 100 mile wilderness a few years ago, and enjoyed hiking with them for a week on the LT. Good people.😁
I like big burls and I cannot lie!😮
