Keeping ya in my thoughts and prayers for a safe and enjoyable hike! Very excited to see you kick this thing off. Winters feel long in Michigan but seeing the new season of thru hikers start to launch gives me hope that spring will eventually find us (in another few months…)

Hi Bryan!! Thank you for such kind thoughts!! I'm so excited right now that it's all the talk around the house. Last minute checklists, travel plans for family to meet me on the trail, Class of 2023 hikers that I friended last year and are my "Virtual Tramily" this year....it goes on endlessly at this point. I hope we get to chat during my journey and I'm hoping to get at least 1 Live Vlog out during the trip, maybe more!! Peace my friend!! 😎👍✌

It’s been solid ice here in Connecticut too! This morning it was 12 degrees and the sidewalks are still very icy! Good to know that your layers are working great for you!

It's cold here in TN also Frank, we're at 22 degrees currently but we'll be seeing a warmup next week. The high today will be 39 and the low 30 which is about 27 degrees higher than it was.

Good practice weather! Must be a good feeling to know you have the right gear. I hope I get some cold like that (unfortunately here in socal the best I can hope for is maybe low 30’s). I guess I’ll find out about my gear on the Trail! Good luck.

Thank you Tea!!! Yes...I was concerned about the layering because as we know, we'll be subjected to the extremes both South and North!! Just stick w/ the 3 layers, base, mid and outer w/ good products and I'd think you will be just as happy with yours!! Peace 😎👍✌

@@frankdotyjr Since I am a rookie at this, I have copied, almost 100%, “Jay wanders out” gear. I was very impressed with him and Tina on the PCT/AT. So I think I should be alright but you don’t know till you know! We are all different.

The weather averages out, so I see sunshine and warmer days ahead if it's colder than average now. I've been shaking down my gear too. Do you wear your pack every walk?

Hello!! I normally wear my pack everywhere when I hike, but this video was taken while I'm doing final weights in the basement for base and full pack. It was also the 1st chance I had to go "skating" after a sudden freeze. The sidewalks were solid ice for the whole length of my hike. How's your shakedown doing?? Well I hope!!! Peace 😎👍✌

I read about Christopher Roma the other day. Such a sad story of such a young man, but it points us all to be better, safer and diligent about watching the WX when we wander our paths!! RIP Chris!! Peace at last!! 💔👍✌️
