So very proud of you! I love your love for God’s creation…it’s so refreshing to hear your thoughts about the birds and their songs. Keep stepping my friend!

Cheers for the day’s completed miles. Thanks for the pleasant insights of the day. Much appreciated. Wishing you safe passage and success. Happy Trails!

The photos today were absolutely beautiful. I lived just outside of Asheville for years and Hot Springs was always a favorite place. Congratulations on making it this far and can’t wait to see the rest of your journey.

Loving your story!

You keep walking we keep watching👏👏👏

In 2019 when I hiked out of hot springs I was home with an injury 4 days later. Made it to devils fork gap. I would give anything to be right where you are in this video. If you make it to Katahdin you will be my hero, no joke. I’m on the edge of my seat brother. Please stay strong.

Yay! Your Jolly Gear shirt will be a definite game changer for you. It’s as close to perfect as a shirt can be. Love, love, love mine… my favorite thing about it ( I have many) is how quickly it dries (whether from sweat or laundered) and how it cools you off when a breeze finds you… pulling the toggles on the hoodie to adjust around your hat and cover your ears are perfect when mosquitoes are buzzing around your head. I also open my pocket zippers to vent out on hot days…. The list of pros about the shirt goes on and on. AT All The Way 🥾

Doing great on your first day alone, Hike on !

Oh I wish I could be there hiking with you right now!It’s so beautiful out there💕 Your pictures are so pretty! FAR OUT HELP ME NOW🤣🤣 that cracked me up 😂 Nice tent 🙌🙌 I went to trail days and I got a Nemo tent. I’m so excited to try it out! I have my osprey backpack and my Nemo tent. Now to get my sleep system. 🙌🙌 I hope people you are having a great time out there and you are meeting some really nice people!! Happy hiking 🥾🏕️🌲🎂

Looks like a nice tent. I am a big believer that long distance hiking is best done solo. I think in a couple of weeks you will see why. Time to put some bigger mile days in. Keep it North, you got this.

Enjoying your videos I have been watching sense the beginning. You got this keep moving north 😊👍

It is hot now in Virginia/ WV. Drink lots of water wit electrolytes and take those breaks. You are doing great! Keep stepping!

Every single climb is hard, but climbing out of Hot Springs is memorable. I am back on trail. Thanks for your advice.

Loving the Mossy Oak hat. Mossy Oak was born in my home town, West Point, Ms. Keep representing and hiking. Love your videos. You’ll do great solo!!

"Like day one again", Jen and Wendy were with you, Now you're out on your own. Time to get yourself a trail name! Keep stepping!

Do you have a trail name yet?

Why did your sister and wife get off trail?
