If you tape the edges before making them round, you could use one long piece of tape and work with it in the flat. Should be easier and neater.
Wow, an oldie but goodie. Look what you've done since this video was made. I needed to make a cozie for a friend's pot and this is a great reminder how to do that. I like the overhang on the lid too. Thanks Dixie.
Aww, baby Dixie is adorable.
I really enjoyed following you through your hike and beyond. Thanks for all the effort to share yourself with your viewing family.
Love this. Thanks for the tips! I mainly go car-camping with my son but made one of these last night for my small pot & metal bowl! Cheers
Not a hiker, but a serious tent camper. I have to make one of these for my MSR Stowaway pot. (Main cooking pot.) Love the idea of not wasting fuel.
Brilliant! Thanks. I live off grid and use propane so this will help save fuel and keep food warmer. Some people do this in thermoses too.
It is awesome that you're writing the ebook, it would have been cool to read it for my preparation. Some good things to include in the ebook are gear list/ideas, mental changes, physical changes, food ideas, and weird trail menus. Also things we should check out while on and off the trail. For example different places you stopped at... restaurants, hostels, tourist sites, or anything fun or exciting things in the area if/when enjoying down time
I start my NOBO in 9 Days!!! That stinks that I will miss you doing Trail Magic, it would have been awesome to meet you and the rest of your trail family.
Love your videos, you are one of three who I have been watching that have inspired and prepared me for my hike! I can only section hike, I have a really great job that I can get away from for 30 days at most in one time, so...I am going to hike Springer to Mt Crossings Labor Day weekend, and if I like it I will venture on to Top of Mt hostel. I have all my stuff coming in piece meal, Im really excited and so thankful for your experienced perspectives. Thanks, from Tunnel Hill, GA!
Happy year anniversary Dixie! My how time flys! You are definitely a different person than that first video at Amacaloa! So much confidence! I love it! Also been loving all the diy videos, plan on implementing all of them. Where do you buy your seeds for micro greens? Can't wait for the PCT vids, I will be watching you hike the PCT while I hike the AT!
Got all the stuff ordered to make a Cozy. This video is as good as when you made it several years ago! 👍🏼
Great video. Looking forward to the ebook. I would like to see you address the mental challenges you faced on your thru hike and how to prepare for those. Thanks.
Thank you for all your tips and videos Dixie. I’ll definitely be buying your ebook.
Another useful tutorial/journal. Thanks !!
Glad to see the razor wit that sustained you through your AT adventure. (aluminum-deoderant, wine)
Enjoy your break...see you on the other side.
Excellent video. I was looking for a way to keep from ruining cans of paint, varnish, etc. when I store them in my non-insulated shed/shop through the winter. I was thinking of putting them in a large cooler, but I'd rather keep them on shelves than in a cooler. You've given me a possible way to do that. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial Dixie, you always inspire me, keep hiking!
My wife and I have been backpacking since college. We are near 60 now and still love it. Enjoy seeing young people get excited about the outdoors. Keep up the good work we enjoy the videos.
Thank you for your practicality. I plan to hike the AT in 2023. This has been valuable for me.
4/2/23. I just made a cozy for my AT thru-hike. I fly out of Manchester, NH for Atlanta, GA tomorrow and will begin my AT thru-hike on Tuesday, April 4, 2023. Thank you for your advice in your videos. I will name myself The NH Peakbagger because that is all I have done over the past 35 years: NH 48 Four-Thousand-Footers, NE Four-Thousand-Footers & the NE Hundred-Highest.
Hey Dixie!! Love your videos!! I think a good subject to touch on in your ebook would be your method of cleaning your pot/eating utensils after you have cooked and eaten from them. waiting for the trail magic video with the "fam" back in action! --Kevin
Love your channel, hiking the pct is on my bucket list
Great video as usual when you hike the pct prepare yourself for our mountains on the west coast it's not like the 6000 ft hills along the AT good luck
This is brilliant. Just what I needed thank you dixie x
Loving the almost empty wine bottle in the background 😂 That is my kind of camping preparation 🤣
mine too!
just a observation for the edges,,, tape the edges when pieces are flat like trips folding half of the tape to cover both sides ,then form your round forms...hope that helps....love your videos thank you!
Another good video. Thanks for the tip on hammock vs tent. My wife didn't think too much about getting changed under the fly. My next question would be about finding good trail maps or accurate info about where to sleep. We want to do a section in CT/MA/VT but can't find good info about parking, shuttles, or much. It seemed you had better info on the trail than I can google from home!
Dixie, you were most kind in providing mail drop info for me and I will absolutely use that information. BUT, I would like to believe that I am not the only one who has some questions about mail drops. So, perhaps you could include that in your ebook. This video was outstanding. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Dixie, I've already made a pot cozy and used it several times. It's a great idea. I'm going to add a baffle, connecting it on 1 side so I can pry up the unconnected side so my oatmeal packets won't fall over. When I'm not using it for oatmeal there will just be more insulation on the bottom.
UUUggg. Just finished viewing your video's - subscribed and now your leaving. Gerrr. Very excited for you -- looking forward to reading your e-book. I would like to read about how it has transformed your view of who you are. Also -- Include that great sense of humor. Looking forward to supporting your adventures. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for all these great videos. You are amazing
super helpful and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing!!
This us such a great idea and one I plan to experiment with on my next tree.
I love your work tables, old cable spools.
OMG Have been waiting for this ,,,Thanks bunches
You could manufacture a low weight pot, lid and cozy and market them to hikers.
I am so looking forward to your e-book! I have a couple questions- how did you prepare physically for hiking the AT? Also, I'm interested in knowing some of your food go-to's/meal ideas from the trail..what did you make bfast/lunch/dinner?
Great show and tell. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. I think I’m gonna have two glasses of wine.!
LOOKS LIKE THAT MAY BE A TIMEX IRONMAN..THAT'S WHAT I HAVE--RELIABLE AFFORDABLE WATCH
ended up with an excellent result thanks! material list was slightly off - definitely two glasses of wine :D
Hi Dixie thanks for making that video for us. I had seen one other video on that but appreciated seeing you do it. Glad you are making plans for the PCT next year. You mentioned you were going to post the financials but not sure if you meant the cost of your AT trip or the PCT? It's no surprise that your channel is growing.
Oh and digging the fruit jar of wine also!
Ha! Looking at this to make this insulated pot holder and at the end you said "I can't believe I have nearly 4,000 subscribers"...😆😆😆. Now how you feel?
That was a really great idea. And since titanium cools down so fast it seems like it would be a cool idea to keep it warm longer. I know you were using aluminum but I think it would work just as well but titanium. God bless you and your family. Duane
I am curious to know what was in your repair kit and first aid kits. You packed pretty light. Loved the video as always.
Dixie, as always another great video. I've followed you from the start and its very interesting to see the different paths you have taken. I look forward to seeing more great things from you.As for a question, If you had to do it all over again, but knowing what you know now, what would you change?
Thank you! I finally made my cozy thanks to you :)
Thanks Dixie.
Great cozy demo. Looks pretty easy. I wondered if you had bowl or plate you used or did you just eat out of that pot? Thanks for your awesome vlog!
great!! Waiting for your book!!!
I love your videos-- the narration and the moments you capture are interesting and entertaining. Thanks! You've inspired me to do more hiking. I usually just bike tour, but recently I've been adding some hiking days to my bike trips. Just hiked the trail to Cape Lookout on the Oregon Coast and my next trip will be to Silver Falls near Salem, OR.
Question: Did you feel you were getting enough protein and vitamins while eating on the trail? Did protein intake concern you or was it more about the quantity of calories and not discerning the source or type of macros?
Bought your book thank you for writing it and your videos.
Interesting and informative video. Always anxious for the next. My question is, if you had to change one thing from your AT trip what would it be? Thanks
Thank you very much. Today I made my first pot cosy.
I've never seen someone cut out straight lines as fast as you do... kudos to you
you never know what one person can do to influence others!!!!
Great video, look forward to your e-book
question for the book.... in your opinion, what was the most mentally challenging aspect of doing a through hike?
I like that you showed rolling the pot/lid as a measurement! I used a measuring tape and ended up a tad short because the material is thick. Had to cut it again. duh :-) TIP: wait to cut the lid top after you've completed the bottom - since the material increases the circumference of the bottom, you'll want a larger top piece so its sides don't splay out when it overlaps the bottom half. ALSO: I used half-width strips of alum tape to wrap the edges to reduce bulk. So far, it's held up fine.
+Marijka Walker Great tips! Yeah, less tape = less weight and bulk. Thanks for the input! :)
Great tips!
Good tutorial.
Amazing lady.
LOVE the wine jar and cable table; my kinda gal!
Impressed with your personal values.
Topics for your ebook: personal safety; poopin on the trail and in the woods; personal hygiene; water / hydration; leaving no trace (waste, fires, etc), "alfresco lovin" ;-)
Definitely an ol' southern gal using a mason jar (aka moonshine decanter) for a wine glass.
Question for your eBook:
- How many calories had your daily meals / food?
- Did you change the kind of food during your thuhike? Like more "fresh" food at the beginning and "fast" food at the end.
Hey Dixie! I have a funny question for you: in one of your later trail videos you mentioned that you took two showers and still stunk, then wondered how long it would take when you were finished for the stink to go away. Well, what's the verdict? 😂 lol enjoy your break!
Thank you !
Thanks for the tip!
What I would like to see in the e-book is a discussion of how you plan on getting your water each day and also how much you should carry with you. I typically find that I carry too much water because I don't want to get stuck without it. Did you ever run out of water and not have any good source to replenish it nearby? Also, how much fuel for your stove did you carry with you and is it any problem finding it in towns near the trail?
Hi Dixie! I've loved watching all of your videos! How did the first moth of your hike differ from the last month of your hike?
One thing I think you may want to cover is hitching a ride into town. I kind curious have w that worked for you. reason I working on my NE 115 and it looks easier to through hike sections and hitch back to my car Thank love the channel Peak 518
Thanks for your videos, and I hope you enjoy your break!
My question: Did you set a pace objective prior to the beginning of your thru-hike? If so, how did you adjust if, it at all, given your actual hiking pace?
I started following after your hike. Great vids that are giving me great ideas including vlogging on my AT thru-hike next year. Can't wait for the ebook and a great way for us to help support your PCT trek. What camera did you use for your hike and is it the same one you are using today? Great channel!
Thanks!
Always love the vids and a great project also, now all I need is to get a cook pot and get started..lol. My question is planning while on the trail...(shelter stops and/or tenting for the night) also planing your food resupply and or town stops. Do these always go as planned and what do you do if all plans go out the window. Is there a back up plan or do you wing it and hope for the best. Also how long do your fuel canisters last?
Love your videos! How hard was it to make videos on the trail? Did you find yourself more worried about making videos instead of enjoying what your seeing? Look forward to the ebook
Thank you for this. All of your videos are informative and useful.... Re: duct tape --- duct tape burns something natsy....
That is smart!
I don't remember if you talked about it before, but did you get blisters? Loving the vids, all the info is much appreciated!
Wow you were not kidding about the wine
Great video series. What was your overall budget for the AT hike? Will the Ebook have a budget breakdown? Thanks for documenting your hike for the benefit of others.
5 yrs ago, wow, how so much has changed 🧐☺️👍🏽👍🏽
Hi, Dixie! I found your channel just a few weeks after you started the AT and have followed you ever since, and here's my question. Was the AT harder or easier than you expected it to be, and in what way? And what is the most important lesson you learned?
Thanks this is helpful
It has been fun to follow along. Looking forward to 'Season 2'. I am curious if filming/editing/emailing videos to your friend, etc. was a good distraction on tough days, and/or was it frustrating to try to keep up with it? Also, Did it seem like most hikers were filming? Thanks again!
Thanks for taking the time to make and share your videos. How was it to charge your phone or electronics, did you ever have difficulty finding an outlet? I was also wondering about bear bags and what you did with your food to prevent animals from getting to them.....Thanks
love your videos
Nice!
Hi Dixie, I would like to see in your book on how you deal with being off the trail once you made the climb and walked off the mountain?
Thnx 4 sharing/editing/updating :)
So here´s my question...sorry if my written englisch iss kind of bad:
If you have to categorize all those people who you´ve met/saw along your trough hike into three kind of body/fitness types. What would they be/look like and how should they prepair/prakticing for/on their journey?
Looking foward for season 2.
Greets from germany
I've been a follower from the beginning and its been awesome watching your journey,,my question that is very seldom touched for the females any advise on How the whole monthly visitor process works out tips do's and dont's. Please include this into your Ebook for the ladies . Thanks again for your awesome videos.
Hey, I've been watching your channel only for a few weeks Now, I've complete all PCT episode's and loved them. In this video you mentioned about an Engineering position? I just wondered what that was? Being a manufacturing engineer myself I was just interested.
Cheers
Andrew
my mother used a grease pot just like the one that you used, make me laugh every time I saw yours! my question for the book is.How much hiking do you recommend in preparation for thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail? thanks as always Reverend David
Such a Great idea.. Ypu have the same work bench i do
Really enjoyed your videos fantastic job. 1st question safety as in hitchhiking or hiker that's hitching were you mindful of the dangers? 2nd what is the youngest hiker you saw and if I could do 3 or 4 weeks what would be the most beautiful section?
I've lived in Pennsylvania my whole life so I'm used to the rocks, question is how bad is it for someone not used to the rocky terrain to hike it ? Love my pot cozys also
Hmm.. pretty cool
Great video. Now that it has been a year and you are looking back, I would like you to do a video talking abut the one piece of advice or most important tip that proved most critical in you success in completing the trail. I know my wife would also be interested in the "Women" tips for other women that want to hike the trail. Even if you had a special no men allowed video or section of the ebook. There is so much written by men, I know my wife Tracy would like to here from you perspective of a women on the trail. Wishing you the best.
Wish I'd seen the tip to get a glass of wine before I got started!
Question for the eBook: How do you suggest preventing plantar fasciitis or tendinitis on the trail?
Hi Dixie, I've enjoyed your channel and was curious about your daily routine during the trail. How long did it take before you were hitting more than 15 miles per day, and were you taking many breaks throughout the day? Did your feet ever get used to the 15-20 mile days?
I think there is a difference between Reflectix and car sunvisor material: Reflectix uses mostly aluminum layers on both sides of bubble wrap, the other uses a reflective plastic.
The sunvisor stuff could melt.
My question to include into the ebook would be... What was important to have for medications and vitamin supplements?
Hi Dixie, what did you feel during and immediately following your summit of Katahdin? How did you feel in the days, weeks and months following your thru-hike? Was it difficult to pick up where you left off back home after you finished the AT?
Dixie, what is your opinion of the satellite position markers I see some people wearing? Seems to me they could be a good idea for new hikers if they get lost. Not for them but for people trying to find them or for friends trying to track their journey.
first let me say great vbog i am thinking about doing something like this my question is what made you decide to go ahead go it i would love to read the ebook to learn more about the trip
It seems we all take videos when we have made it up the hill or Mtn, lets do some videos while we are out of breath and very tired. If you get caught in a storm get good footage of it. and the E-Book is a big 10-4
+Roger Lamb Great idea! Thank you for the input.
