Introducing the FAB Trail | A New Southeastern Hiking Route
Matt Flege, the Executive Director of Upstate Greenways and Trails Alliance, along with others in the Upstate SC and GA hiking community have worked to create a set of new hiking routes. The FAB Trail, or Foothills & Bartram Trail is made up of two iconic southeastern trails linked together by a 4.5 mile section of the Chattooga River Trail.
Visit www.FABTrail.org for information about the various FAB hiking routes, and visit www.UGATA.org to support one of Panda's favorite local non-profit organizations.
Happy Trails!

    This sounds like a fantastic hike. I was lucky enough to do the entire foothills trail before the storm. Thanks for sharing this and thanks to the trail maintenance crews working so hard to clear the storm damage. I’ll definitely check out the FAB trail!

    Hi Panda, great job on this video. Looking forward to the series. I too was a Second Chance Hiker fan. Have seen every episode. I was a loyal fan from the first episode. Too bad he dropped off the face of the earth. Miss Little Bee too. The last video I saw from Second Chance was him waiting for a transport plane to go visit his kids for the holidays. Thank you so much for numbering your episodes. So much easier to keep up. Good luck and God bless.

    Great video , but why do you call your wife or girlfriend " partner " ? Is she not your girlfriend or wife ? There is nothing wrong with being gay , but I immediately thought you were and was going to stop watching . I have nothing against the gay community , I just don't support it in anyway, especially now with all this transgender crap , children on hormone blockers and surgery stuff and all the other crazy crap . But I'm glad I watched , it looks amazing ! Oh and she deserves more respect than just a casual acquaintance like partner. And Happy trails !

    • @travelingpanda5108

      Thanks for the compliment Walt, glad you enjoyed. We must be from a different generation, which is no problem. I use partner and girlfriend interchangeably, but the term “partner” fits well because we are a team and partners in hiking and life as well. I think it’s important to respect different cultures and the language they use to describe their lives and relationships, regardless of whether they fit into your view of how things they should be. If the idea that I might have been gay was a dealbreaker for you, this may not be the channel for you. We respect everyone here and I can’t accept anyone speaking down about gay folks or anyone else. But if I can encourage you to get outside and connect with different types of people in the future, I’m glad you’re here.

      @@travelingpanda5108 Thank you, , I wasn't talking down , or putting down the gay community , or anyone , even the transgender . I was putting down the fact that you are not transgender , and yet use the word " Partner " . If you are not gay or transgender , why do you " feel " the need to call her your partner ? Is she not your wife or girlfriend. I'm old , and I just don't understand , but even if I was young , I still wouldn't understand . And I can guarantee you millions of younger " Potential " viewers wouldn't ether. I mean don't get me wrong if you're into little kids getting , sex hormones , and sexual surgeries , keep using the partner stuff . If not , maybe you should consider how you speak. Because that's exactly how people my age and the young persive it . " They perceive it as " she is not your wife or girlfriend . She's just your sexual part . And that's exactly what the gay community calls their sexual relations , that they are not , in love with or married too . It's an insult to her. My "life partner " would be one thing but " M y partner " is another.. You don't even call her girlfriend , witch means potential of " life " or " love " Why ? Is " She " just for sex or something? Or do you " Love " her ? Would you kill or die for her , in today's World ? Or is she really just a partner ?
