Hello hello hello! Jess here. AT Class of 2024! Ohio-based casual backpacker of 10 years -- outdoors, hiking, nature lover and content creator. I'll be posting backpacking videos and camping videos throughout my NOBO Appalachian Trail 2024 thru-hike -- sharing all of my greatest moments, biggest mistakes, hostel stays, informational videos, gear reviews, thru-hiking tips and backpacking tips. I am 100% new to the world of long-distance backpacking, but as a female thru-hiker and creator, I'm excited to document all of my highs & lows and show other aspiring women thruhikers that YOU CAN DO IT! (While also proving to myself that I can do it too :)) Thanks for watching!

GEAR REVIEW: Membrane Solutions Water Filter! (YES or NO?)
WOW!.....hiking great! Moving northward strongly! LOL Sorry, I had to state it that way. Your smile and sense of humor is making me smile too. It is infectious. I have dreams occasionally of being able to fly.........I like them! I solved the mouse problem in the shelters when I hiked in 1990. I took my cat. geek
“Hi, do I sign in with you” hahah
Beautiful views - I was wondering about snakes in the shelters, didn’t think of mice 😱
Rae! Thank you so much for the bug headnet donation :)
Really enjoying your videos! And Gadget's! And Soap's! Looks like I'll have to give the NPT a shot this year. Gotta Hike.
Hello Sassafras, thanks for the beautiful views. Blackberry ice cream is the best! Those shoes would drive me crazy, squeaking like that LOL. You are doing great and I look forward to your daily videos. Thanks and happy hiking❤
You’re doing awesome Jess!
I "LOVE" those things. They are in Tn. too.
Fun trip with Andy! Luray caverns look cool!
I went to Luray caverns a couple years ago while camping and hiking in Shenandoah national park and was blown away. It was so much better than I was expecting. Glad you were able to go.
Try not doing big miles for a few days even with a couple of zero days. Many hikers come off trail due to their feet. Be wise and careful.
Just wanted to let you guys know that there's going to be plenty of rain coming your way. Stay safe.
That was beautiful! Of course they wouldn’t let ME in! My cigar is more important than a fabulous cave. Glad you got some time with your lesser half 😂 We are always the lesser half.
Good video, with some beautiful views in the underground cave,, with some deers, so let's keep on hiking 😊
How do you know where/when shuttles are, and how do you know where to get off the trail that could be a good spot to be picked up?
FarOut!
@@JessHikesTrails it’s the app that keeps on giving! Thanks!
I thought there was a rule in the AT hikers guide that said it was mandatory to get a blackberry shake when doing that part of the trail, it's how you keep the VA blues down. Glad you took the time to do Luray.
That was a Ruffed Grouse. I imagine that it was so used to hikers and there is probably no hunting in that area. Once while canoeing in Canada, we had 4 Spruce Grouse walk through camp BETWEEN us and the fire 4' away. They eat spruce needles and taste horrible. As a result, they have no natural predators and just go wherever they want to.
Caverns were cool. I went to one that I think is a bit south of the trail in PA called Crystal Cave, much smaller but pretty cool nonetheless.
Good morning Sassafras. Glad you enjoyed your zero and the caverns. I saw them several years ago they are amazing.
You had such a great day of hiking!! You look so happy and you got trail magic.
Nice video, so let's keep on hiking 😊
❤❤❤
You were all smiles the entire video, Sass. Andy is cool, you definitely needed that visit. If he doesn't have a trail name, after watching that run down the trail, he might consider "The Flash". LMAO.....he just reminded me of Sheldon Cooper (Big Bang Theory) in his Flash outfit running around. geek
LOL love this!!! Thanks geek it was great to see him :)
Ha ha, looked like a fun day and Rifle is hysterical about being on camera. He has his go to "thinking" profile shot, but the sinking out of view was funny
Congrats on 900 miles!
Congrats on passing 900 miles! Good thing it was just one angry bird and not the pigs that go with it.🐷🐷😠
Fun 😊
Hey, I'm glad you're enjoying Shenandoah. I just wanted to point out that there are so many hiking trails in the park, and most of them are not hiking next to the Drive. They tend to start at Skyline Drive but then go up or down away from the Drive. I just didn't want anyone to think that all hiking trails in the park are within a stone's throw from the road. Thank you for your videos and I hope you can somehow not let the heat and bugs and rain get to you. Frankly, I don't know how you thru hikers do it!
Congrats on 900 miles Jess🎉🎉
Good job over 900 miles, a good video with some views, so let's keep on hiking 😊
Warwick drive in and Bellvale Creamery are in my neck of the woods. If you guys need help when you get to the second half of NJ let me know.
Thank you!!! How can we reach you?
I've often base-camped at Loft Mountain campground & day hiked the local AT & park trails. It was nice to recognize the overlooks & stealth campsites. Have a good hike!
The views are beautiful in the Shenandoahs. Safe travels.
Congratulations on 900 miles. Being chased by that bird was sooo funny.glad you got it on video so we saw it! Hope the tics aren't too bad.
I think Shenandoah was underwhelming. It was that effing road that there's NO escape from. YMMV, I guess.
I laughed so hard when the grouse started chasing after you. Congratulations on reaching 900 miles! Glad your feet aren't hurting as bad. Enjoy your zero day.
Don't underestimate a grouse...you might get up close to one thinking that you're ok...but they'll get you when you least expect it lol
Like a black bear, never turn your back on it, lol.
@@Pwrcritter Thats definitely true when it comes to bears
Look at the grouse
The deer don’t fear those who they love- they’re glad to be with you all. Glad you are getting a smooth trail and a much needed break for your feet- oh and hoagies are great for lunch on trail huh? That’s what I had today. Glad you got to see everyone again, enjoy your time with your other half too , looks like the shoes are still not fully broken in yet? Best of luck and thanks for letting us follow along! 🌱🧘🏼🌿🙏
Nice video with some nice views, some deers,so let's keep on hiking 😊
Gotta love SNP!
Deer in the are used to seeing people, so they are no afraid. Love the fact only 250 yards from skyline drive. You will enjoy your hike in the Shens.
You are inspiring!! Continue to endure!!!
Great day - thanks for taking us along!
Smashburger and a blackberry milkshake from the waysides = heaven!
Shenandoah was the 1st place I saw bears on trail. They don't care what you're up to either. 😊
Great to hear about Worm Queen and BECKA as they, and Brandon? and you were the group I hiked with until Neels Gap. I also met Soap and Gadget (unless there is another Gadget?). Good luck. I hope your feet stop giving you trouble! Take care. Teaparty45
Definitely a Peacock.
Ugh...laying on a hotel room floor? I just couldn't, but Mexican and tequila I can do. Hope the foot pain gets better with some rest
😂
Good video with some good views, some pretty mountain flowers 🎉, and a deer, so let's keep on hiking 😊
Colin just told me about your journey! stoked to be watching you!! I’ll be catching up on all the videos from here on out:) you’re a freaking cutie and you’re killing it!! Keep it up!
Ali Bo Bally!!! Miss you homie, hope CO is treating you well
