      Involuntary loss of awareness......while hiker passed? Creates a "time slip" occurence. I had my first recently at age 81.....while wide awake......on my own back deck. Lost 5-10 minutes of neighborhood activity. No nap. No stroke. Strange.....but real.

    I hiked it back in 1999 as a child.. like 13. I’m so glad I knew none of this stuff. Every person we ran into was beyond kind and shared food and stories. I don’t know how many shelters we got to and met people and we’d walk into town and get hot dogs and burgers to bring back.
    The blue ridge mountain section will stick with me forever. It was beautiful and it’s the first time when I was convinced I couldn’t do something but pushed through it and did great. To a kid, that’s a huge building block for life.. and that trail gave me that and a few other good lessons.
    I still religiously care for my feet.. all these years later the pain and trench foot have not been forgotten lol. Had no idea what I was doing and paid dearly for that one.
    Good video.

    I saw things on the trail going south the last few miles into Boiling Springs ,Pa in 2019. Realized I was not dirnking water and did so. Those soda machines, cars coming to pick me up. They disappeared after I drank some water. Hope you not dehydrating and don't know it. Hiking like that can become a nightmare. Stay safe. Happy trails.

    Bigfoot gets lonely too. They grab people regularly. And the people are rarely found. When they are found, they are missing their shoes. Or one shoe.

      Often near boulder fields, or places with nefarious names. One theory is that they are the feral, exiled ancestors of the giants that were hunted into extinction during a previous reset

    That would be one of the reasons I carry a Grayl - no waiting for a water tab or bleach or anything like that to take effect. I use the Platypus most of the time, but the Grayl gives anything suspect a second filtering.

    Hello from Northern California! RUclips decided to send me your channel this morning! So happy to be here! We have the ‘Pacific Crest Trail’ running through my area here that many hike. It runs from Mexico to Canada some 2650 miles. Take care and safe travels.❤what size pill does one use for water purification? I wish to buy some to have on hand for emergencies. I see they come in 49mg. Is this for a small bottle maybe a liter of water or should one buy the higher mg. Tablet. Thank you ❤

    У нас за Уралом, там.. то одни пропадут, то другие, а местные аборигены, северные народы - оленеводы и охотники их предупреждают, туда ходить нельзя, там то болота с трясинами на сотни км. повсюду, то горы с ущельями всё в снегу, те туристы, они местных не слушают, лезут и с концами пропадают, ни вещей от них палаток и пр., ничего на тропе не находят. Они пропали как у нас говорят "с концами", то - есть их скорее всего нет в живых. В полиции они числятся как "пропавшие без вести" и в принципе их розыск лет несколько ещё после факта их пропажи будет "активен".

    14:46 Nice job removing that tree across the trail. Was that a Silky saw? I recently purchased the lightest Stihl folding saw. It's under 5 ounces and cuts like nobody's business! Not big enough for my hot tent stove, but it'll cut forearm sized wood, which is a good medium sized diameter for my Seek Outside hot tent stove.
    I see that you have another video up!😊

    1:26 fae- a green one behind you almost on ground and a 6 foot centepede looking one a second before that green fae, Fae are generally plant based too so they are hard to detect, some are sprites, there are so many its absurd. Watch the green one move between frames there are 40-60 frames per second so we can slow them down this way. 10:19 massive being crawling up trees top screen almost center, few seconds before something jumps from a tree to ground to left. 13:27 very large tree all the way to right, there is a black humanoid trying to blend in eith the front. If you look at these time stamps stop the video on th time, goto highest resolution, use a big screen not a cell, zoom in almost all the way, then advance forward and backwards frame by frame slowly to you see what Im saying otherwise you will never see anything, you are bing followed by Fae, insectoids, Dogmen, and a few sasquatch, and some very white thin stick looking humanoids mainly in the trees that are difficult to see but as you advance look for movement. Otherwise they move too fast and we will never see them. this is an equilizer. 14:22 at a couple frames is a brown thing leaning off a maple next to your left ear, it moves and isnt a burl. These beings are everywhere, especially on the appl trail. They have abilities. Ive been examining 10s of 1000s of videos in 20 plus years and it takes pratice but you quickly learn what to look for and make startling discoveries. These beings outclass us in everyway. I dont care if Im not believed but this video is full of them, I just thought Id warn you. Thats as far as I go cause its a long long deep rabbit hole.

      Maybe I'm just old and not with it, but why would meeting another hiker on that trail freak anybody out? Seems to me there would be a lot of them out hiking and wanting to experience the same thing as this guy. Can't expect to have the whole trail to yourself. Now if it was a bear he was seeing and freaking out over, that I could understand perfectly.
