Your balancing acrosd the rivers while filming and not using poles for balance is epic! Theres a glimpse of the 3 of us behind you walking with both poles in the water for balance😂
I'm an Appalachian Trail section hiker. We have bears, coyotes, racoons that will wander into your camp with farting hikers and mice in the shelters; but no baboons. The shelter mice are legendary. A few years ago I was talking to a fellow section hiker who had stayed in a shelter. She said she woke up in the middle of the night to find mice eating her hair and they had urinated in the roll of toilet paper she had left out!
Noooo!! That's hilarious!! I'm scared of the statistical improbability of a negative bear encounter, but the dream to do the AT was our inspiration to start thru hiking😍. From your tale and what we have heard, the hiker family and spirit on the big American hikes is out of this world! Oooo, forgot to mention that we have Genet's on the Otter trail: basically looks like house cats in a way but they hang around camp and sneak to steal food if you aren't very careful...but its also a treat to catch their glowing eyes in your head torch beam and watch the cute wild cats!
@@LifeofDi-alternative Wow, that's fantastic that you and Ryan are considering doing the AT! I don't know how much you've researched it, but may I suggest watching a hiker's RUclips channel called Homemade Wanderlust? Her trail name is Dixie and she has probably the best documentation of an AT thru-hike I've seen.
I’ll check out the channel 👍🏼 I follow a RUclipsr called ‘Derek Cullen Outdoors’ and he is currently hiking the AT. His videos are a good insight to the trail also. But I do like keeping some of it a mystery and will hopefully explore the AT at some point in the not to distant future.
They are indeed Hyraxes, they call them Dassies or rock rabbits in South Africa. That’s funny they are related to elephants, they couldn’t be more different. They are very cute little animals.
First to comment again! 😁 I'm simply awe struck by the beauty of this trail. Wish I was there. I would be so tempted to take a zero day and hang a hammock at this hut. Is it allowed? What accounts for the Coca Cola brown color of the rivers? Be careful not to take a misstep while enjoying the views!
Your comments are always much appreciated 😊 it would be awesome to take a rest day at these cabins but because 12 different people hike this trail everyday there’s a different group in the cabins each night, so you have to keep moving along the trail. The brown water is from tannins which is a breakdown in vegetation and goes into the water, it is perfectly ok to drink and tastes good, although it doesn’t look very appetising. We were also in awe whilst hiking along this trail a lot, especially when we went up high on the cliffs.
That nature how the big rock can standing up? Really news views from this hut. When I saw the rubbish I knew that Di couldn't leave it there. Baboons are like seagulls in the UK.
@@luismartin8208 yeah that rock was crazy, didn’t look natural just standing up like that. Really cool though. Yeah those baboons made a right mess, but cleaned it all up and reported the poor latch on the bin to the main office. This hut was amazing, the hits were just getting better and better on this trail. Thanks for watching mate 👍🏼
I think it took 15 minutes to clean! Loads of tiny pieces of rubbish from good hikers had been put in the bin... Was interesting getting a proper look at what other hikers eat: loads of tuna/tinned sardines, loads of zip lock bags (I don't use any) and lots of instant oats😅
You're amazing!! We love your insightful comments! When we tasted municipal, clear water at the end, it was a really bad taste compared to the brown tanin water😅

Were the little wee beasties, Hyraxes? If they are? They are the closest relative to the Elephant!! I know, amazing!😮😊

Ryan! You should be more of an English Gentleman, and help your partner more! You're letting the side down!😮😊
😂 I’m always asking her if she wants my help and she keeps responding “No I’m an independent women” 😅 she wouldn’t let me help her even if I tried 😂
@@RyansNextAdventure well, I owe you an apology, Ryan!
