Food storage and a sleep system for Ruby!
Where did you buy the coupler and is it universal?
@@KatieValleyBourdeau garage grown gear, not sure on other systems just Sawyer squeeze. Thany
agree with all the comments, great to be following your journey this winter and next year.
You are making me miss the trail darn you😂
@@sarahsundstrom1425 Mission accomplished 😊
@jimrubyhike lol Enjoy it It's nice and quiet for you which is awesome You're going to miss that when it starts getting crazy The closer you get to Springer in the early part of the year I'm assuming February or so you'll be running into going the opposite direction and it gets insane It's a train coming at you but then you get to jump up yay! ❤️ I'm hoping to head out in February again but we'll see Hey enjoy the trail she's a beauty
You do a fine job of vlogging. My only suggestion is not to move the camera too quickly. I look forward to following you this year.
I worked in a high school as an older woman new worker and I tell you, the kids were (for the most part) great kids. The trouble makers were mostly hungry for positive attention.
It’s not 2025…
Looking good sonoman... Lol. You are doing great brother. Look forward to you getting to VA, plan to come out and visit and walk a few miles with you. Stay safe.
Thanks!
Well-deserved, and I know you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Well done! And what @MrLSB-w6g said!!
You ARE blessed, and so are WE. Thank you! Loved the herd of tame deer and that giant picnic table. Hike on!
Just a beautiful video. Thank you so much for taking the time to take us along!
Very, very enjoyable. Thank you so much! Hike on!
Thanks! Are the leaves slippery?
@@pauliedavis49 a little bit, with the snow very. Im just taking it easy!
You deserve a good zero. Hope you got a good meal in town. I am looking forward to seeing the trail from Harper's Ferry to Damascus. Perhaps you could mention the miles you hike for the day and how easy or difficult it is to resupply. Might help me finalize my plans for my upcoming hike of the AT in this area. Stay safe and warm. Heard that some areas might get snow over the holiday.
@@On_Trail-Bumbles will do on the miles. Resupply is easy, if a shuttle isn’t available Uber is at least up here. I’ve been averaging 5-6 miles a day while I get my trail legs. I hurried in 2022 and it ended my attempt. Gotta hike my on hike this time.
@jimrubyhike Virginia Beach is pretty flat. I was able to hike about 8 miles a day for the 2 days in Shenandoah last month (Lewis Mountain camp ground to Hightop Peak shelter was nice.) But I was sore when I got home. I am a nurse in a nursing home and used to being on my feet for 12 hrs, but Shenandoah National Park is a lot of "up." Lol I will definitely do the same and try to take it easy to start.
@@On_Trail-BumblesN Michigan is flat too! Even peaking out my treadmill full up didn’t help much lol. Come on trail legs 🦵
You made an impression on the youth and hopefully inspired them to dream about even bigger outdoor adventures! Hike your hike!
Your German Shepherds are gorgeous!! We've had several. I wish I could take mine on the trail, but she's got a high prey drive and in Pennsylvania we have a lot of poisonous snakes that I highly doubt she would "Leave It". 😂
@@elizabethcole5582 thanks! Ruby is 10 now and I am really missing her. But looking forward to seeing her next month for a few days.
@jimrubyhike we totally get it! We always try to take her on vacation with us, but sometimes it just isn't feasible. So we have a wonderful Daycare for her that also does boarding. And it's tough workout her. She's a bi-color. The one in my profile Pic is our White Shepherd. We lost him to cancer.
I walked into HP early on a Sunday morning - like walking back into history - no one around.
@@DonSipher same for Mondays. Everything is closed lol
Looks like a really nice hostel 💗 Enjoy 😊
It was wonderful hearing about the trip from our “Climber!” Thank you for taking the time to make memories for these kiddos and I’m glad they made some fun memories for you!
@@andreakeim267 wonderful young man!
This is already turning out to be an awesome series!
@@MrLSB-w6g thanks
How'd you like the C&O canal, Sandy Hook hostel? Next shelter above Harper's Ferry I stayed with my wife in the 80's......
You're lucky, they are fairly new, the old ones were small and mice ridden😅
Stayed at Garvey when the stink bugs first got here😂
Did you stay at Crampton Gap shelter?
@@bobbieschke599 no
Thank you for making an impression on our crew!
Hello from Crew 1923! Though I wasn’t one of the scouts on the trail, you sound like a great, very fun guy, and I love your enthusiasm and nicknames. This video was so sweet; thank you, and great luck on the trail!
Good Luck!
@@trishbronk thank you!
Moving right along! 👊👊
Every winter we take our scouts to the Garvey shelter and day two into Harpers Ferry.
Harpers Ferry is so pretty! I grew up in Maryland and I love that area so much💗 It’s so much fun meeting nice people on the trail😊
I don’t blame you for not saying anything to the persons with the spray paint. You never know what could happen anymore. It’s just so sad that they think it’s fun to deface nature 💔 looking forward to watching your hike. I wish I could be out there with you 😊🏕️🥾🌲🏔️
Thanks!
Following your hike. I have a trail map, so let us know the name of the shelters you stop at.
@@ltanderson7916 awesome thank you! Will do. Currently taking a zero tomorrow in Harpers Ferry at the Half way hostel.
Just found you and following - you’re heading Southbound? We live not far off the trail in Virginia.
@ great thanks! Heading into VA Tuesday after a zero tomorrow!
@ Cool - maybe if the timing works, I’ll jump out and hike a day or two with you.
@@justjonoutdoors that would be great! Not many folks out here
Glad to see you made it to warm dry hotel 👍😊. Hope you enjoyed the zero with hot food 😊
One lbs. times 2,000 miles equals one ton…just saying, no judgment 🙂🙏
Heard you were from Michigan. I subscribed. Go Lions!
@@midlifetravelers6151 thanks! Gotta love em 🦁
Looks like a cozy set up at the shelter but otherwise so so so so cold!! I'm in Jersey and we got snow night before last. I just hope my friendly neighborhood bear is resting himself and doesn't knock my trash into the snow! Must have felt good to get to a nice warm, dry space! I would vote for a zero tomorrow!
@@JulieJordanScott thanks! Going to zero in Harpers Ferry at a hostel. I love cold camping!
@ I’ve never cold camped - maybe I’ll try that adventure closer to Spring!
@ I highly recommend it, lol. If you have the right gear it’s really fun
Love your videos! Thank you for taking us with u
Thank you!
I have heard good things about the Zen Bivy. I only section and still use an ancient Camp 7. Kind of like Western Mountaineering. Fairly heavy but I’m only out a few days at a time. Good luck on your thru.
@@techguy9023 thanks!
Do you have a cabin in the UP? You said something about Northern Michigan.
@@techguy9023 no cabin, I live just S of Alpena so still “up north”. Lol
I really enjoy the shelter videos, to see how they are set up etc..
Frog Togs tend not to hold up well......
Yeah that was a disappointment
Spent time there as well........
Hiked most of Md as a young man, 70 now. I'm from Md.
Been to Tumbling Run many times. The shelter is managed by a father/son, and keep it quite nice. Will be there next weekend. Stay safe, sweet sailing........
@@bobbieschke599 I met the son and his wife while I was there he told me about how him and his dad put the spring pipe in and a few other stories. Wonderful folks!!
I've been enjoying watching your progress. I haven't hiked in a snowstorm yet. Can imagine that the white blazes on the trees must be hard to spot with all that white snow. Stay warm and safe.
@@On_Trail-Bumbles luckily the trail is very obvious there because the blazes were covered in snow ❄️
Everything is in a song ! I love it ! Thanks for sharing … stay safe and warm !
Type 2 Fun: sucks in the moment but you look 👀 backwards on it with fondness. It was tough but you didn’t let it defeat you.
Winter Wonderland!! 🥶👊🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Enjoying watching your trip.
Gotta enjoy days like these…
@@KrizAkoni especially when you end it at a hotel w good Chinese food
