    Many people who video their hike on the AT create these VERY long and lingering videos! You have me spoiled! You tell just enough and show meaningful clips filled with good information and beauty.

    • @philipcrisp2802

      Yes, more than 13-15 min is too long. Taylor is great.

    • @addisonfinley7746

    • @AdventureswithRunningBear

      Totally agree, some people’s videos are over the top long and filled with non trail related stuff.

    I really appreciate the fact that you are showing that, while through-hiking the AT is a tough feat of endurance, it doesn’t have to be a total suffer-fest of starving and freezing. It seems as if enjoying some comforts is enabling you to appreciate the beauty of the trail, which makes your vlogs a pleasure to watch.

    Taylor, your mom isn’t the only one who truly looks forward to your morning updates! I brew my coffee and start my day with you on weekends. On work days I look forward to your updates all day at work and it’s my evening reward when I finally relax in my comfy chair. Your videos are awesome. The way you recap your hike, share the scenery and honestly talk about your day. I hope you don’t mind but I wrote down a quote from you from your recent sit down interview with the guy in the yellow jacket.
    Taylor The Nahamsha Hiker
    ‘I like pushing myself. I like seeing what I am capable of’
    This is a great way of looking at each day.
    I followed both your previous hikes and really appreciate the effort you put into your content creation. Thank you!🥾💚👍🏻

    The views starting @ 5:22 are incredibly beautiful! The area of trees covered in hoarfrost is such a great contrast to the distant mountain silhouettes! It’s so refreshing to watching to watch an AT journey that doesn’t just focus on “making miles”, but rather takes the time to enjoy Gods creation! Thanks for taking this 63 year old along on your way to Maine!

  • @black_dog_barks

    Also, I'm loving your backpack, and have already checked it out on the link you've provided. I'm a new backpacker, and a very small person, so I have to keep the pack weight low. I am totally going to check out that backpack!

    I like your adaptability in taking advantage of the places to stay and eat on and near the trail. Knowing what you need to stay strong and energized has to be a big part of completing a thru-hike like this. And nobody said you were supposed to be a complete stoic for four months on the trail.

    You are so smart to make a good breakfast a priority before a big climb. And as many good meals as you can get in town after a big day. You are so wise to do that snd stay in town when it’s super cold at night. I’m glad you are taking such good care of yourself. It’s all part of respecting the trail that you respect what you need too. Thanks for sharing your adventures snd observations. 😊

Thanks.

    Hello Taylor, I have watched your videos of the last through hike. I have been watching this one. In my younger days I did section hikes in Georgia and Tennessee. I always wanted to do the section from Clingmans Dome to Spence field. There is a mountain and shelter that has always called to me. It is Derrick's Knob since that is my last name. Please think of me when you visit. I would appreciate a shout out when you are there. I am Ron "Santa" Derrick, I am a professional Santa. Good luck and stay healthy.

    Taylor you are doing a great job. I expect it is hard to find newspaper for those wet sneakers, but I have crumpled it up, filled up the shoes with it without the footbeds, and overnight it takes 90% of the water out of wet running sneakers. I have done this in overnight trips and it works great.

Your my new idol 😂I just recently found out about the AT and thru hiking in general, being a Florida girl we don’t have beautiful mountains to hike so not popular down here! Watched you just doing an interview and my husband is the same way with hiking! Unlike you though, it drives me bonkers just because I’m scared to go solo and we have a 16 yo and 12 yo boys so it’s difficult for me to do so. Have thought of section hiking though, I’m just dying to be in the mountains! Stay safe and strong, you’re a freaken rockstar! ❤

He plays tackle football and baseball so time is limited, but I’m determined to make it work 1 way or another! Tanzania… that’s awesome! Have an awesome day from Florida 🫶

    I'm glad you found the Appalachian Inn...that place is awesome...not cheap...but worth every penny. Funny thing about the section of the AT south of the Smokies now-a-days...if you want to go from hostel to hostel to B&B you can pretty much not have to spend a single night camping. Someone should try it and see how easy it is to do.
