Praying for your safety sistuh, and we look forward to seeing the epic journey, may the LORD Wrap His Arms Around You, and You all and keep you safe. God Bless.😊

Spazzy that lil' scamp! You've got some great new food items. The beef jerky and mayo wrap sounds so good. I've gotta try it. This is gonna be so freaking epic! Take care 9L ✌️

Definitely want to see a video of your packed resupply boxes! 👍

Will you attempt the hike all11 National scenic Trails? Like "Conetin" sp.

Kelly, keeping you in my prayers for a blessed and wonderful hike. 🙏🏼🙏🏼💜🙏🏼🙏🏼

I am so excited to follow this thru hike! The CDT has always interested me more than any of the big 3 thru hikes in the US due to the "choose your own adventure" style with this trail.

My nickname for my career in the military has been spaz 🤣

You should consider using UPS vs the post office for your reshoot. Delivery is more reliable and you can track it and you only need an actual street address and it will show up fast. Or actually just show up. (Remember when you lost all your gear on the PCT?🤦‍♂️). Good luck.

Gila is pronounced "Hee-lah." But, it was so adorable when you pronounced it your way, that I'm not going to deduct any points.

Love your videos Kelly, have you ever tried or thought of wearing Barefoot type shoes?

Glock 29 10mill , better to have it & not need it than to not have it & need it . For personal protection weirdos , bears , etc.. love LMNT watermelon is my fav also drink alot of skratch on my runs as well , love Hokas also especially mafate speed 4s but being a runner i have a shoe collection problem lol . Hope to meet you someday at a race or hikeing or camping . Take care my friend always love & enjoy your videos ❤️🙏🏼🙌🏻

I’ll be watching every single video. Be careful out there.

Kelly is like a modern day Magellan who wears Hokas and takes the land route. With a slingshot there might be a rabbit on the fire out there. I hope this works as planned. At least the togs look stylish.

Hi. I just came across you on KZfaq and subscribed. Arkansas is beautiful. I’ve only seen a few parts just passing through but really liked it and definitely want to go back and explore it. What area of Arkansas is your favorite? I’ve always been more of a Mountain guy. Looks like this area is hard to beat. Can’t believe how beautiful it is.

Thank you for going through all the great options for food. My hike starts in August and was wondering what I should bring for food . So thx !!

Wow ! ...You's BRAVE, Girl, to do THIS trail ! ...While I admire your adventurous spirit, you'll be like a Sacagawea charting all that new territory, much much different than the AT. With that being said, I am very much looking forward to seeing how you meet the daily challenges. You'll not only have to face more wild terrain, but like you say, the GRIZZLIES.....and now, all the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS tucked into every nook n cranny of every state now......Am glad you are traveling in numbers, and hope you stick together the entire way.........I continue to love all the videos you put out. You do excellent coverage, and I'd much rather watch your adventures any day than anything on TV, which i don't own, since i get much more of an education from you, in the areas I most enjoy.....the great outdoors, survival, and all the day to day challenges you'll meet along the way......May God and your angels guide and keep you safe during your long journey. I wish you much success and safety and..... to stay in good health ! We don't want to see you using up ANOTHER one of your Nine Lives ! Take care, and God speed !

This sounds like an amazing adventure! I can't wait to see more videos! Have fun and stay safe😊

DogFoot Trailing is NoBo on the CDT, he’s currently in CO. Maybe you’ll cross paths.

“Here’s the problem…she’s kinda evil” 😆 🐈

Oh I’m sooooo excited for you!! I can’t wait to watch your adventures !!😊

Safe Travels!!!

If you get hassled by a grizzly drop ALL your food and get out. All of you.

Not everybody's on Instagram. Well I'm glad you got to answer some questions.

you are pretty awesome cant wait for the videos yeah none of that food looks good

🤓👍! 🔥

Kelly please be extra careful cause this is the most dangerous trek you have done yet. The beginning of your trip in Glacier is the most dangerous. Grizzlies are nothing like the eastern black bears. Grizzlies can smell almost 3 miles away in optimal conditions. I always warned female hikers to plan their outdoors when it's NOT that time of month. That's ringing a dinner bell for Grizzlies.... on the south end on the CDT is criminal border invaders. I'm praying 🙏 for your protection ❤

Please be careful on a trail I hear a lot of negative things about people being hurt I don't want to mention the other thing cuz I don't want to jinx it I do hope you're going with friends and I'm sure you take some kind of protection some kind of weapon anyway Kathy you will be in my prayers and may my Lord Jesus Christ put angels around all you guys and have a safe trip and get home safely in Jesus name😊

Be sure to check in with rangers for updates,monitor weather and fire 🔥 situation take maps and compass technology can and will fail I hope you know how to do some orienteering best of luck😊

That food aversion sounds rough! I hope you've been finding enough to eat.

So awesome very excited to follow along on your CDT adventures. Fairly new to your channel so I should catch up on your AT videos.

I've lived just down below Glacier for 40 years and I've only seen 4 grizzlies.They were all across the river.I wouldn't worry about it.

Always well funded!👍🇺🇲

I used to have a cat named Spaz 😁 she would let my dog named Dawg carry her aound the house in his mouth. By her head 😂 Happy trails!

Hope you get to see the white bison calf when you go through Yellowstone.

Can't wait to follow along chick but are we sure it's still 9 lives? Lol JK You're gonna rock this hike 🤘💛

Consider an additional small Bear spray for your front pocket for quick access and added personal safety while about.

Good Luck to you and be safe😄. LMNT Choc and Choc caramel are pretty great cold, just has to be shaken extra long. Found this out by accident

So sexy and beautiful you are

Love LMNT…especially the watermelon one as well. Thank you for the link, just restocked my supply as I used almost all mine backpacking through the AZ desert the other month.

I am sure you are on the way but if you can get it Wild Zora is wonderful food!

I watched your AT run and will watch CDT as well... you will do well don't worry. Please have all the back up material you will need, don't skimp. You got this Kelly and don't be afraid of taking a break if you're not feeling it, those edges are intents...

So tired of everyone having LMNT sponsor them

.. Looking forward to following along ,, enjoy your thoughts and opinions on trail life .. .. Rocky Mountain Nat. Park in Colo. will also need permit and bear canister ... be aware that in the past year DOW has relocated Wolves and Grizzly Bears into Colo. ..

Good luck. I wish I could get out and adventure like you.

Kelly , way if You're a NUTRITIONAL COUNSELOR , don't You EXPLORE , DEHYDRATING you own food at HOME, it's a very simple process, and will be HEALTHIER & COST EFFECTIVE & ELECTROLYTE DRINKS , are very easy to prepare 😊 , this might PAVE you're way, that in the FUTURE 🔮 , you could have you're own BRAND of TRAIL PACKS FOODS & DRINK with your EXPERIENCE as a HIKER & NUTRITIONAL COUNSELOR 😅 that wound be a GRAET BUSINESS MODEL 😊...THINK ABOUT IT !!! THANKS !!! 😂

Make your own GORP! Possibilities are almost unlimited. Easy to change. I recommend pecans, walnuts, dried fruits like cranberries.

Do you happen to know Scott Ward, Trail name, TABA (There and back again)? He has produced and published several books on information of how far from one point to the other, water supply, nearest towns, etc, of most of these trails. He stayed with us several times when we lived in TN, while collecting information for these books. We would pick him up and drop him off, give a good hot shower and hot meal. He was a really cool person to meet and talk with. I am So excited to follow you on this hike. I followed you through the whole AT and loved it. I have family that has through-hiked the AT, and so it holds a special place within me.

Great to see you Kelly . You my dear are my favorite person on the web. Bless you Angel and stay safe.

I use Sawyer spray on everything but I still got ticks 😡😡😡 also I love Hokas! My back doesn’t hurt when I wear them. I have 3-4 pairs.

Permethrin works well but, it's dangerous when you are spraying it. You should wear a respirator, rubber gloves, face shield, hat, and cover all of your skin. It gave me a headache when I forgot(senior moment) to use a respirator. Look at old fashioned trail foods: oatmeal, brown sugar, peanuts, raisins, dried apricots, banana chips, apple chips, hard boiled eggs, beans, and rice. You can hardboil the eggs in town and carry them for a couple of days. Use an insulated mailing envelope as a cooler. I used to carry a can of fruit cocktail as a luxury item. In an emergency, it was the only liquid I had. Looks like you found a lot of interesting foods. Putting your water bottle in a sock and wetting the sock will make the water cooler in hot weather. I hope that you got the SOL large emergency blanket incase. Carry 4 extra oatmeal and 3 essentials for an emergency. It can make your sleeping bag much warmer but be careful of condensation. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick
