A lot of people have asked me to break down what a day in the life of a thru-hiker looks like, so this is how mine normally goes! Thanks for watching and I hope you get something out of it!

Dave mate, break the monotony of suburban existence. Next time you feel like doing a poop just hang it in the back yard. Then follow it up the next evening and hang a poop in the local park. Before you know it you'll make it to the fringes of the woods to poop after work. That really is all camping and hiking is about anyway, the rest is just product placement. # poop life

Aloha. I agree. I did Great Smoky Mtn. AT from Davenport Gap South to Fontana dam in 1973. Dixie brings back the memories in a pleasant way. Good memories. I've watched her AT video adventure. Several of her "how/what to do" posts. They all bring back stored away memories. Escapism at it primal best. Can't wait to view her PCT and CDT vids. Always wanted to hike those. But, haven't. Rats.

Dixie you’re awesome, such an inspiration. Totally love ya, I’m originally a southerner too from bay saint Louis MS. Now a resident of Colorado. You have inspired me even with 4 heart surgeries, to get out there and hike my own hike. I’m 45 now and my dream is either the pct or cdt. God willing, gear willing I’ll get there before 50. I’m two weeks post op now, I’m praying to be out there by spring 2021 (I know my window is closing) I’m slowly collecting my gear, trying my hardest to get my big three. Anyway I love ya, followed forever and was in your opsie video, I grabbed the trail marker (that wasn’t wood) and tumbled, thanks for including me (made me smile) I just wanted to thank you for being so kind, inspirational and willing to help us newbies figure all this out, best of all you make me feel, even tho I’m older and some health issues, I can get out there!🏔🌲🚶🏻‍♀️🌳🏕🦋🌝🌘⛈❤️

simply brilliant. i'm a new hiker. though an experienced flyfisherman. I'm trying to get a little deeper into our coastal mountains (BC, Vancouver Island)to be able to flyfish headwaters and such, hiking being the necessary evil to make that happen. Your honest and entertaining style has encouraged me to push a little harder to make this new "hike into headwaters" plan come true. I'll no longer think sleeping in a bit late on the trail, or eating burrito wrapped foods and runny peanut butter is a negative. Though the runny peanut butter may prove a bit of a problems until I can get that image out of my head.. Great job, really. Please do more vids. You are humble, sincere, funny and experienced... all things required for people who want the adventures you live, for themselves. Keep up the good work.

Wow! It is a busy day. I found your suggestion about cooking dinner before you get to a campsite very smart. I, personally like to start early before sunrise and then set up camp before dark. So you are right each hiker has their own preferences. I always like cowboy camping because I'm lazy and it easier for an early start. But each to their own. Loved this video on your daily routine. Thank you.

Love this video :) I did half of the Arizona Trail last spring and then got an awesome outdoor job in Alaska, so I took an... extended break from the trail to pursue that. I'm finishing the other half of it this spring. Last year at this time I was binge-watching your videos to get ready for the trail. Thank you so much for putting these out, it really helped me prepare. I think it also helped my family not be so nervous about me being a solo female out there. I am also a late to rise, late to bed kind of hiker, so, thank you for the validation! I also use an InReach to give daily updates to my family. Right now I'm still in Alaska, getting in shape and meal prepping for the other 400 miles. 400 miles is adorable compared to the CDT, PCT, and AT... but still tough! Have you considered hiking the Arizona Trail? It's gorgeous and not crowded at all. Lots of solitude. With your experience you could probably finish it in 40 days or less. Most hikers that I encountered on the AZT had already completed the AT, Florida Trail, etc. and were testing out their ultralight set-up, or trying to push themselves to get it done in under 40 days. I was one of the only newbies out there and it really showed. Anyway, thanks again for the amazing videos. Best of luck on all your adventures :)

Thanks again for a wonderful video. I love all that you share and this was just as entertaining as all previous videos. One thing that always makes me think/laugh is people who question how you can do this every day... well, how do you get up and do your daily routine? I assume a lot of people have desk jobs they go to every day, a routine of dropping off kids, getting to work, picking up kids, getting home, etc. Not that there is anything wrong with this, it's my routine (I know not everyone has children, but you get my point). There are pros and cons to both daily routines, but like you said for yours, you get the views, the terrain and the new relationships. I just felt like sharing, that it seems "silly" to question it when people tend to have repetitive lives to begin with at home. And this is not meant to be insulting, rude or mean to anyone. Just a bit of possible perspective, I guess :) No matter what your daily routine looks like, I hope that you enjoy it and make the most of it!

I love that you are more of an afternoon, evening and even night hiker. That is more of my life in general and encouraging that I don't have to get up at dawn every day to be a thru-hiker. Yes, I'm definitely considering it now because of you. Just got to get my knee rock solid.

Last summer I did a month thru-hike of the pyreneees, after getting back to 'ordinary life' you almost forget what it was like. This video reminded me a great deal of how it felt, and reminds me of how much I miss it! Your rythm is indeed very comparable to what mine was, although I never hiked in the dark and luckily have no bear issues in that area. Good to see some points on which could improve my routine too. Great video :)

Nice wrap up of a usual routine. I'm sure many people wondered. I'm with you on the coffee ! I prefer to set up for the night when there's still enough light to see exactly what is around me, though. It may be nice to hike at night but I like to pick a spot before sunset that hopefully, has a sunrise view and I like to relax and watch and takes pictures of the sunset. Best time of day to me when everyone and everything is winding down. Sunrise is just a good but after you have to get hiking instead of going to sleep all relaxed and unwound.

I never thought this would be something people would like you to share with them but, your video made me realise that it could help relatives and friends to better visualise mentally your everyday life on the trail and, yeah, I'm gonna do the same to share with my relatives and friends. So, thank you for that.

This was great! Thank you for making the video. The pictures of the different kinds of scat in Nature while you were sharing an important part of a morning routine was hilarious! Brilliant! 😂

Once again good information and presentation....I tend to get started about 8:30 even if I'm up with the sun...loved the visual of the peanut butter dropping to the soft taco shell during the discussion of poop....it's always a victory when I can get it done before I leave in the morning...it becomes a bragging point between my hiking partners when we're out ....face it backpacking is not for the timid or those without humor...happy trails....

The shadow boxing was fun! I'd love a puzzle of that black sand and trees with the pink, so lovely!

very nice video. I really like that you never make it "my way is the the best way". I feel like when I watch your videos you do not make me feel that I do not know anything (even though I do not know much at all). I can just learn from you experience and whenever I am out one day I can use your knowledge and be just fine. thank you

When she starts this video off with "When I wake up..." The Proclaimers " I would walk five hundred miles" starts going around and around my head. :)

I loved this video, it really explains the flow of a day. I especially appreciated the idea of cooking prior to camping for the night, to prevent having food smells in camp, a mile away. Thats a really good idea!

WOW! (My first time seeing the channel) WOW! Dixie, the things you do every day lost their charm on me years ago when I was a soldier. My hat is off to you!

Dixie, 3 C !!! That is a very respectable accomplishment. Especially you carry a much heavier pack than most thru-hikers, not compromising comfort just for light weight. Congrats, you earn my respect.

Girl you're like me... I'm not a morning person till I've had coffee and definitely work harder in the afternoon. Love this video.
