I'll say for my part that one of the best times I had during this trip was seeing the night sky. The Grand Canyon is a "certified dark sky" location, and the number of stars, satellites and other celestial bodies that you can see is amazing! There was no moon that night, so it was super dark! Go at the right time and you'll see the milky way more clearly than you ever thought possible. We were lucky enough that during our visit they were having a "night sky" event, and one of the rangers gave an excellent talk about the various constellations, planets, and history surrounding us. It was great. I only wish I had prepared a bit better and brought along some binoculars (even cheap binocs will greatly enhance what you can make out in a night sky). Next time, when Mothmom and I do the entire canyon down to the bottom and back, I won't forget!

HELPFUL INFORMATION.

I recommend the blue connector offered on Amazon to ease the transfer of the fresh water. The trick is to loosely tighten the fresh water bottle so air escapes. I carry three bottles as well, but there have been a few times when having a full 2 liter to carry back to camp for filtering is just easier.

Your arm started to hurt holding the bag? Must be your hydronitis acting up!

link to the clean bottle? looks nice and compact

We used the top from an irrigation bottle. 5 grams. It's a 28 mm threaded opening so works for a smart water bottle. Worked great for us. Good luck on your thru!

I bought the 3-pack version (your winning choice) in 2020 and have used it at home and on trail ever since. I haven't bought TP in over 4 years! For me, I use a Smartwater bottle which provides great pressure.

Cool and Clean now comes in glow in the dark!

These are great ideas/options, but just how much water do you carry?! 😳😮

I'll just mention that the lifetime national park pass is worth the effort to get. If you are active duty or a vet, it's relatively easy to apply and it comes in the mail within a couple of weeks (or at least mine did). It made this trip and gaining access to the parks super easy!

Check out the Common Gear Bidet. It threads on to a standard bottle and doesn't have any orings to lose. Good luck!

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Following & 👍5

I'm glad we decided to split up so you could make it to the end. You'd have never forgiven yourself if you hadn't reached the lake!

Thanks, Great. I plan to come there next year. 4 redwood national & state parks. and Humboldt, too. You had tried many trails. one by one, I will check...

Beautiful green nature

I wish you good luck in all your life

Great walk !

Beautiful work, so nicely presented and narrated! Love it

Knock, knock... excuse me, are their any trilliums on this tour?!? 🤣

Hey, don't blame me for your lack of bushwacking skills! If you didn't keep those snacks in your pack, those dino's wouldn't have snatched you like they did! 🦎

I do like my Darn Toughs, but I really have to get a pair of the loose fit and try them myself, given how much you like em.

Fun!!!

You always have amazing places in the videos, just gorgeous episode! 👏👏

When I was SOBO on a section hike thru Pine Grove Furnace last summer, the only flavor left was Butter pecan. There were several while I was there for lunch that were attempting the "challenge". Since I was only doing 100 miles, I refrained. I'm flip flopping in '25 from Harper's Ferry, so I will be far from 1/2 way heading NOBO. I may never get to eat that much ice cream unless I start training now. Thanks for the inspiration.

Best training regimen for an AT through hike ever!!! 😂

What a great video. Very well edited/produced. I love the area.

😊

Look forward to your vlogs of all the west coast trails. Wow all the trails along the way. Vets pass is so wonderful. My wife and I use ours all the time. Especially when we take our grands, grampimg E times a year for something’s two weeks at a time. Wonderful savings and teaching them about the outdoors and hikes as well ! Thanks for sharing your virtual training of the AT

Wow, that is a really impressive training regiment. The only thing you need to change is putting your tread mill in a walk-in freezer with a mister fan blowing on you. 🙂

I’m hoping to start in 2025. I’ll be looking for you!

Yep, •I hate seeing their blistered feet •Filming themselves all the time & seeing up their noses •talking about difficulties like they are the only ones having the suck

Only one small issue, the Georgia AT is not a flat incline, you spent majority of the time stepping up and down 18 - 24 inch drainage diverter steps or stair steps when rolling through the Georgia elevation changes.

Fantastic idea! 😁👍

I enjoyed this video! You have a cool style to your creation!

TH-cam put you right at the top of recommended for me and that’s how I “stumbled” upon your video and channel. I’m hoping to attempt my Thru Hike of the AT in 2025. I am disabled and also using my treadmill for preparation. I admire how you used the guide book and your dedication to mapping out the entire trail! Are you thinking of hiking it as well?

What an Ingenius idea! What we can learn from other hikers!

Wonderful! The first video I have seen about toe splay and socks, (except your shoe video which was very informative). I have to try the Loose fit Stays up socks as I can't find comfortable socks that don't bite into my lower calves. Thanks for sharing!

That is a wealth of information! Thank you for sharing! I wish the best for you on your 2025 thru hike of the AT. I am planning on a LASH hike in 2025 myself from NJ/NY border to Bennington Vermont.

What a great training concept. I will be copying your excellent exercise program now. And yes also will follow your trek up the AT. Have a great time.

Barsoom was on the beach and didn't eat a gallon of sand?!?!??!?!

It's not a bald, it's a receding hairline... 🤣

This hike is one of my favorites.

I just want to add that while we love the NordicTrack Mothmom describes when it's working, we've had it for 11 months and have only been able to use it for about 4 out of those 11 months. NordicTrack's quality control is utter garbage, and the treadmill has been broken more than its been working. It takes them MONTHS to make repairs. First the electronics simply died, and then a a bearing failed in one of the treadmill rollers. Before you buy your own, do your research, and believe the bad reviews.

A BEAUTIFUL PLACE 💚

BEAUTIFUL OCEAN 🌊 THE SOUND OF WATER MAKES ME SLEEPY

Beautiful awesome colors of nature 🏞️ Thanks for the journey

Wow! It's so pretty~❤❤❤❤👍

I think Jerry was "stalking" you the entire time!!! Corn Joke!

What a beautiful hike my friend, place looks so enchanting! Love it, overall atmosphere is somehow therapeutic!

Love the outtakes!
