He’s the true star of any videos I post🤣 Definitely some of the best days on trail when he got to come out with me. Thanks for watching!!

Jonathan Scott unfortunately so. I’m a little disappointed I didn’t finish. Kinda fell apart at the end. Loneliness, money, road walks hah. I had intended to pick back up this spring and finish it out but that fell through. With everything going on. Thanks for watching these and stay tuned though. I’ll have some shorter thru hikes next spring and 2022 or 23 I’m planning my vengeance for this trail. And I will make it the entire way. With my golden pup Bella too. And hopefully have a new series for you:)

I can say after a 5.5 mile day, my kiddo was pooped out! But like you said it’s random. Last year on my IAT thru Hike Attempt, he hiked a few days with me and did as many as 8 miles in a single day. Easier terrain. But then he had to leave a day early because the heat and elevation increased and he was getting spent. So haha, yeah just start with an Overnighter, get his pack weight light, and you guys will have a blast. Especially if you have an entire day to just mosey along the trail, taking breaks and do some exploring! Here’s when he came with me down by Devil’s Lake State Park, if you haven’t checked it out yet. th-cam.com/video/_ChjWQ-M3rw/w-d-xo.html

Jake Graskey I wouldn’t pass one up!!

Laura Berkholtz I remember coming up to a prairie on top of a high point with the sun in its setting phase and remember thinking how beautiful. It really is! Thanks for sharing, I bet it was nice to get.

Ruff Hikes I didn’t have much experience filming or editing or anything like that. Just picked it up as I went along so I appreciate your comment. :)Im hoping to get back out there in 2020 so that’ll be something to look forward to. Thanks again!!

Matt Hoyt Thanks for checking it out! The Lodi Marsh segments specifically were really beautiful. And a great DCA there!

Just Beyond the Trailhead agreed!

Lucinda Turnis thanks! It was the most special moments along my journey, bringing him along. Wisconsin might not have mountains, giant redwoods, or oceans but we sure have a lot of beautiful things to see. Most don’t realize it until they see it for themselves! And not to mention wisconsin folks are super friendly!

Will you be back on trail soon?

Unfortunately, not back to the IAT this fall. I’m going to do some little trips around home and see what I can’t squeeze in. Some gear videos too. Otherwise I’m hoping to get back at the IAT this next spring again. Try and finish’er off.

Thanks! I’ve done my fair share of research and went on enough weekend hikes, but I still have more to learn! Thanks for watching!!

Thank you guys for the excellent products! I definitely will be doing an awesome review on it, eventually coming up, as it was one of my favorite pieces of gear I had! Haha I sleep with it on my bed at home some nights...

Right!? Lol non consumables my final weight was 17.4 lbs pack and all. (Not including little trinkets... so maybe 17.6)

Thanks! He’s a fun little guy!:)

Thanks for your support along the way! It was a hard choice I had to make. But I got to spend a little extra time with the kiddo. Have fun on your section hikes coming up!

Woodwzrd that’s awesome you’re going to do this. First off, the lake eleven Jerry lake and mondeaux Esker segments are probably top favorite on my list. It’s rugged near where the Jerry lake and mondeaux segments connect. You’ll feel quite remote out there. It’s great. And the Harrison hills by lookout mountain is beautiful and the rolling forest hills there are worth noting. Sounds like a great adventure planned! I’m from around the Chippewa Moraine area so be sure to let me know when you decide to take out those segments in the future:)! Thanks for the support!!

@@justbeyondthetrailhead6936 I'm actually in Baraboo now but moved here from Colfax. I've spent some time day hiking in the Chippewa Moraine area. I'll definitely try to reach out when I hike that area.

That’s awesome!! Keep at it, it’s not always easy but there is new beauty around every corner I’ve come to learn. Even some of the road walks have been breathtaking down south. Glad I can help inspire for people curious about the IAT out there!

Thanks for the support. Every little bit helps. Happy trails!:)

Hey! Yeah I have guthooks. I use it for reference if I need to but mostly the trail is marked so well I don’t need to really. Only problem is my phones GPS doesn’t ping me in the right location as it should. So I don’t use it as a gps but more so a map tool. Have paper atlas’s with me too. Not all of them. My resupply boxes have more paper maps as needed so I don’t carry them all the entire way.

@@justbeyondthetrailhead6936 I hope to put a few steps on it this year myself. Enjoy your hike. Be safe.

Yeah I was surprised to find so many. What a nice hot day can do!

Thanks for the positive feed back!:) I like that. Yes, I have the Guthooks app, and it’s great! Problem is my phones GPS locates me like five / ten miles off my exact location. But to be honest the trails are so well maintained and posted so well I haven’t had any real problems getting lost so far:) nothing I could venture a hundred feet and figure out anyways. Unfortunately, I’m not on Facebook though because that would be helpful. We will see I guess. Thanks again! Glad I could stir up some old memories.

My original base weight is 18 lbs. but for a short while I had some winter gear w/ me like crampons and some warmer clothes. I just got rid of that stuff thankfully, finally. But I’ve been carrying five days of food currently to save on $$ and then I’m from the state so I have family and friends meeting me to give me my pre made resupply boxes. Mainly for the first third of the trail. The second two thirds I will more so be resupplying in towns as you hit them more often than up in the north woods. I did jump off trail snow storm days though...

The tracks that "slid" down the hill were likely otter or Fischer

I live in milltown. I walk these trails everyday! Stay warm during this storm!!

Thanks for the feed back. Yeah I think I noticed that too in the second half of my video especially! I’ll keep you in mind if I get into a pinch when I’m down by those segments:)
