Omg the Yellow Deli. That’s my next section in VT. I will not be going there. Days Inn in Rutland for me, if I’m sleeping off the trail😂. Will be starting your book this weekend. Can’t wait. Always great info. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️

I hear the Inn at Long Trail is a good option in that area too! Yayyy I hope you like it!!

Thank you Audrey! I did a little research into the 12 Tribes, and it didn't take a lot to find out what the principles of the cult really are. Please educate yourself before making a choice to support them. And I definitely have to agree with the hiker funk. No matter how your 'fast wicking, quick dry' clothes are labeled, be prepared to be wet and sweaty (and dirty) 24-7.

Ibex and I thought we were getting ahead of it on the AT leaving mid-March (we thought more people would start in April) but we were smack in the middle of it!

Wasn't so much the rain itself but the being constantly wet. And sweat did the same thing. July VA to late Aug CT, was soaked through the entire way, with the constant wet rash that goes along with that. The 12 Tribes thing seems to mostly affect the vulnerable young hikers more than the well jaded elders.
@AudreyAdventures6 ай бұрын
Yeah I certainly think young folk are more at risk, especially if they're feeling a little lost.

Looking forward to your book and my wife will surly read it. I am intending to thru hike in 25 and putting together recipes on my channel and would appreciate comments. I have not thru hiked because I could not eat what others eat but I think I can develop things I can eat and will have my own recipe book on KZfaq. Thanks

I have posted some of my food recipes and have many more. The recipes for me must be simple using things I can carry and I wonder what others would think of real food. I have hiked most of the trail and will be 80 in 25 so I may not recall recipes. I will look at KZfaq for ideals, if I can remember. Regards @@AudreyAdventures

I’m reading your book, about half done. Enjoying every page ! All good tips based on my own 700+ miles of AT hiking (so far). I’ll say I deliberately did not go into Rutland, VT in part to avoid the Twelve Tribes folks. As for rain, I can handle being wet but it’s the trail flooding that is problematic. Anyway, great video!!
@AudreyAdventures6 ай бұрын
Yayyy I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! Luckily I didn’t get much trail flooding. Some in Pennsylvania but more often it was just steady rain, day after day. And lots of mud in Vermont, of course! Thank you! 😄

The twelve tribes are an international cult* and they have been convicted of child abuse. These things are not ALLEGED. They are fact. Both facts have been established in a court of law.

Treat everyone you meet on the trail like "a ship you pass in the night". Always be cordial and decent in all respects, but I think it is a mistake to approach it as if everyone is your friend. Everyone is not your friend.
