Change to android. 150% less problems

I had a lot of issues with my iPhone last year on the Long Trail. The humidity and constant rain caused my phone to lock me out and do all kinds of crazy stuff. I ended up taking off my passcode. You have cleared the Whites. The AT section is Vt will be much easier than the Whites. After Vt you will definitely be able to crush some big miles. It’s not like you’re not putting in big days already but you will definitely hit mid 20s and low 30s. I actually can’t imagine going this fast. Great job

Very cool to see sunrise and a moose on top of Moosilauke! Glad you got a new pack cover! I hope you get your phone problems resolved. Hanover is a cool town! The bakery & pizza place (Ramunto's) give thru-hikers free food.

Fantastic episode man, you edited this so nicely!

Thanks 🦋❤️

Really enjoying your videos! I'm caught up now, so it will be interesting to follow your journey day-by-day. You are doing amazing!

At least you got to see something this day. One of the Nobos that I watched last year went over Franconia Ridge when it was so socked in that it looked just like you were walking between white walls. Plus it was cold, windy, rainy AND sleeting. So it could have been worse. But yum! Leftover lasagna, yay!

Well, at least you were lucky with your views in Maine. Really, it's unrealistic not to expect some white-wall days like this. It is a drag, but you just have to enjoy the misty fog as best you can. Too bad about the lack of breakfast leftovers! That had to have been a bummer. Also a real bummer to get off trail like that. Bushwhacking is really tough! But woot, trail magic! May you experience many more.

I followed two Sobo pairs last year, and when both pairs finished their thru-hikes, they both said that they thought that descent from the Wildcats to Pinkham Notch was the steepest & worst one on the whole trail. It's rivaled only by the north side of Moosilauke, but luckily for Sobos that is an ascent rather than a descent. It's good that you had a chance to recharge & upload. I imagine it's harder for you since you stay in so few hostels that you don't have as much access to decent Wifi.

Hopefully you were able to get the work-for-stay. It's kind of noisy in the huts, but at least you get good food.

Way to go! Maine is the state with the 3rd-most miles on the AT (281), following Virginia (550) and Tennessee (288, counting the border area it shares with North Carolina). So it is quite a victory to get through it! It's probably good that you didn't go to the next shelter because your body does need to rest and recover at least somewhat. Last year, when I saw the Rattle River in Nobo videos, it was flooding. Glad you didn't have to deal with that! And 300 miles is great!

Wow, that view from near the top of Ol' Spec was gorgeous! Yikes, that slippery mud was so nasty! I'm so sorry that happened. Mahoosuc Notch is just crazy to get through. But you are doing fantastic. Careful with the wet rocks. On a section hike of Delaware Water Gap in New Jersey last year, I slipped on a wet rock and broke my leg.

This will be your record of your AT thru-hike. Wonder if you will want more Trail videos to look back on?

The Presidentials and Franconia Ridge are two sections of the AT I drive 9hrs each way every year just to capture there majestic beauty during a clear day. This is why I section hike and give myself plenty of time to thoroughly enjoy the natural splendor.

Looking forward to watching you pull a couple 30s later on

What's your trail name?

Glad you eventually got a ride, even if it was after an hour. Those rocks are really slippery when wet, so it's so good that it wasn't raining. Most hikers that I watch use a Cnoc bag with a Sawyer Squeeze & Smartwater bottles.

What a beautiful sunrise! I'm glad that you got to spend a night in a real bed and get a shower and do laundry. Nice that you got your tortillas! Tortillas & Nutella make such a nice trail lunch.

The view from that highway is really pretty! Last year that stream before Bemis Mountain was having a flash flood, with water over the Nobo's head. Glad your weather was better.

dang, double digit thru hike in literal boots... you don't see that everyday. Start crushing those miles and avoid the various vortexes whenever possible.

7000 ft elevation, that's a lot! 20 miles is pretty great for Maine, actually. Most Nobos think they've done really well to go 10-15 miles there, and they've had over 1800 miles to get their trail legs. The rest of the states are easier (except maybe northern Pennsylvania with those pointy rocks).

I think the Bigelows have some of the best views in Maine. It's nice that you had good weather for that day!

The danger with the Kennebec is not that it's not swimmable, but that the water level changes drastically at times due to dams upstream. Some of this year's Nobos did swim across even though it's not recommended. But they were lucky. Someone drowned in 1985. The goshawk seems to be attacking all of the hikers this year! 27 miles in Maine, wow!! 😮

Really gorgeous views from the top of Moxie Bald! Maine has teeth, but a lot of beauty too! Where did you live in Texas? That's where I'm from.

Wow, no stay at Shaw's Hostel in Monson? You're really rugged not taking a hostel day after the 100-Mile Wilderness 😯. You were lucky with the rides and the rain.

You were on some of the most beautiful sections of The Appalachian Trail.

Glad you were able to hang stuff up to let it dry out. It's really nasty when everything's wet! Wow, 25 miles is quite a big mileage day for Maine! Those rock scrambles are hard, whether you are going up or down.

That's a good idea to hike while your oatmeal is cooling! So glad that you got a bug net! Maine has abundant mosquitos, gnats, and (in season) black flies. Maine is famous for rain -- actually the whole Appalachian Trail, but especially Maine. Last year's Sobos had 27 days of rain in a row.

A lot of hikers use a trash compacter bag as a liner to keep things dry. Also a pack cover when it rains.

Maine has some pretty rugged terrain! 20 miles in Maine is no joke! You're doing great! And wow, you got a moose on camera! They like to run away fast. Cool view of Katahdin, too!

So awesome! Wow, those views! And the flowers were nice, too.

What sleeping bag do you have?

March on, damn the torpedos!

Sucky views. Too bad. You never know. I’m Just A Section Hiker and hut hopped through the Whites. It was very difficult but in retrospect, very enjoyable. I had muscle cramps in places I never had them before. You are hiking The Trail your way. I’ll bet you will want to rehike and get to enjoy The Trail.

Good luck.

It breaks my heart to hear "they were out of breakfast" - not having enough food must be a tough thing to deal with! You are sure burning the calories.

Hi looks like you are enjoying yourself. Is there a reason you chose 100 days?

Enjoying your journey! You are crushing it! Love the Tribe hat!

That terrain looked difficult today but you did great! Glad you made it to the hut. 🙂

👍 enjoy the adventure 100 days is Awesome Great video to start

Just curious, i noticed on day 16 video, it looks like a hiking pole is bent? Any plans to replace it if so?

Absolutely gorgeous scenery! I'd really love to visit that part of the country one day. However, thanks to you, people can at least vicariously be there. Safe hiking, and I can't wait for the next one ✌️😀

I found that the bags that come with the Sawyer squeeze are trash I use CNOC bags which are easier to use and more durable, you should still be able to use the coupler. Hike on bro, good luck.

I'm enjoying living vicariously through you. You're making awesome progress. At some point, I would love to see the electronic gear you're using. Phone, camera, charging, altimeter, watch, apps, editing, etc.

I’m loving your videos so far! I’ll follow you as long as you keep posting. I’m curious though, how are you going to handle all of that heat traveling south all summer? Do you think you’ll just acclimate to it eventually?

Absolutely amazing nice sound. Guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this amazing sound in your bucket list. At moses peak you can see the magnificent view of k2 the world second highest peak

I hiked that section 32 years ago and you made quick work of it. Funny thing is I am doing bigger miles now than I did back then, all because the gear is so light. My old tent weighed more than my base weight does now, which is about eight pounds. You’re doing great. The hike off of the Wildcats is steep for sure. Take care
