Evan, Our family really appreciated this video. We were encouraged by the videos you made while we were on trail back in 2018 and thoughts YOUR takes on social media and it's power and how we can mitigate it is really important. Glad you appreciated the book. - Ben
I work with lots of cute kids everyday but Ranier reminds me of my brother at that age that it's crazy. (He's turning 13 now, typical teen) . I am living through this journey as I have always wanted to do this but my body had other plans and yave me kidney failure amd am on dialysis 4 times a week at the age of 27. Hike my hike for me too amd even though I'm late watching. It's so cool knowing you did it!!!!!
I has the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Ben twice when I was on trail in 2018 as well as meeting you in PA for some trail magic. Amazingly, Ben and the family got off trail for a bit just to run a marathon. As we followed their 2018 hike, there was quite a discussion as they got into Maine about summiting only to learn that the Baxter Park officials would refuse to grant the family permission to summit so their hike ended part way up the mountain. It was an amazing family journey and if I were to guess, I believe the family received more support and trail magic than any other family in history which made the trip all the more memorable.
Why didn’t I get the notification on this video? Does that have to do with TH-cam? I have them turned on. Makes me wonder and by the way... great video!!!!
Evan, on this video you stated “the ‘Family’s’ achievement will never be surpassed!” Well I should let you know that it was surpassed last year by the Trout Family from your town of Nashville. Their Tramily family consisted of husband, wife, 5 kids, brother and a labrador retriever. I ran into them 10 miles south of Caledonia Park on my a SOBO LASH I was doing on May 2021. I took a group photo of them and exchanged info with the mom (who later texted me an image of them from Mount Moosilauke). They didn’t vlog their hike so they aren’t famous like the Crawford’s, but they definitely surpassed their record. - Sugar Bear.
@@EvansBackpackingVideos If you’d like their number (since y’all are from Nashville, I’d gladly share). I am heading up tomorrow to knock out CT, MA and a hunk of VT.
Evan, that was a great video on the Crawfords! Hey I noticed the cool miniature Katahdin sign in the back ground of your video. Did you make that or order it from a Appalachian merchandise store?
Great job on this video Evan. I watched this family's through hike and was amazed at their parenting abilities. It's a shame that we live in a world where a family teaches their kids to enjoy the outdoors and accomplish a historic goal is a bad thing. I guess that's the dark side of putting yourself on the internet. Thanks for the insight and thanks for sharing your great wit.
I’m gonna have to get that book. I have much love for this family! Y’all are amazing!!!! It’s hard just to go on a 5 mile hike with my big family! Again y’all are amazing
I followed every vlog this amazing family made as they walked the trail and cheered them on every mile of the trail. Wonderful parents, outstanding children doing what families used to do and fail to do so often these days, cresting adventures as a family and making lifelong memories.
When The Crawford's started the trail fighting snow and wind, I thought the parents were absolutely out of their minds. But I gradually changed my take of them and thought they were really cool... Ben did get on my nerves at times but in the end the family was rather amazing.
I followed their whole hike on TH-cam, stumbling upon their first videos and the horrible weather they encountered in the first days. I was stunned that they had a toddler with them and was fairly confident they'd have to bail out. I enjoyed watching their journey and every time Rainier smiled, it was like the sun came out and shown brightly. I almost crossed paths with them, I believe, in Connecticut in June 2019. Two things I did not feel comfortable about, however. Their not filtering water, which Ben did a whole unconvincing video about and which I'm guessing he discusses in the book, and not taking Rainier to see a doctor for a crusty eye infection when they were in Maine, I believe. While his infection did get better, I thought it was irresponsible not to have him seen. I'm sure the book is great.
I'm sure us not filtering water is not comfortable to many people but our goal has never been to convince anyone towards that practice and I don't think it ever comes up on the book. WE do discuss mindsets of openness that creates dialogue which I think was the point of my video on water filtering. - Ben
I had also followed along with this tribe, also Evan's. After seeing this family bundled up in a cold trail john for overnight rest, and in a motel room with each and everyone puking for couple days, I knew it was genuine. Their story, should be turned into a parent-family documentary,
I like Loner from the 2012 class. His book Painted Blazes is a fun read and his videos add to the book. Interesting review of the Crawford’s and their AT thru hike book. Sounds like an interesting read.
Viewers/Hikers: Look out for Hiker & Wanted Snake Brian Laundrie (now over $100k reward announced for info leading to arrest). Previously lived on the AT for 2/3 months
"He [Ranier] learned nothing along the way, except...the debatable utility of using trekking poles..." LOL!!! THANK YOU for this witty, stinging, and spot-on description of the Crawfords!
It is amazing what we think is “crazy”...... or “admirable” based on our own dreams, and our age....... I wish my parents would’ve taken my ass out of school and taught me some real stuff on the trail for a couple months when I was in 5th or 6th grade. I think the Crawfords did the right thing! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Chris! I was the oldest of 5 kids all spaced about a year apart. We wouldn't have lasted very long on the Appalachian Trail, although our family of 7 did make it all the way from St. Louis to Phoenix a few times all trapped together in a little Datsun. An achievement in itself I suppose. Plus my siblings and I got pretty good at dodging my mother's hand, which could strike at any moment from somewhere toward the front of the car . . . [added later] and I don’t blame her at all for trying to keep us in line!
2018 was a really good year for trail vlogs. I'm gonna pick up their book for Father's Day for myself, should be a fun read! Love the tongue in cheek presentation e-Wolf!
My gawd, you know how slippery that mud is underneath the leaves? Those kids might fall down!!!! I loved the crawfords. I'm jealous as hell of their life. I'm happy I get to do the hiking, but it must be wonderful to be in it together like that....
Awesome video! And Kudos to you for highlighting the Crawford family’s truly remarkable achievement. Talk about building lifelong family memories! To me, “The Family” legitimately earned the right to be named alongside the AT’s other famous historical figures whom you mentioned. I’m gonna go buy their book now...’cause I’m sure it’s a great read. :-)
Those kids learnd more about themselves on that hike then they will from just about anything else they'll do in the "so called real world". They will come to love their memories of that time with their family. I applaud them and their accomplishment. I really enjoyed their videos. My wife and I looked forward to every post. Evan, thanks for posting this, you da man!
Thanks for the perspective of accepting trail magic not as "needing help" but "being willing to share your hike with others," I too have a hard time shaking that urge to endure undue suffering and make the hike harder than it needs to be lol.
God is sending the message through you! I love the Crawford’s for my own reasons and I pay no mind to the hype. Family first and wish the best of all things in life to them. You just made my day by shedding this light. God be with you always and forever. You’re a special person
They are amazing! I also really enjoyed following you on your AT Adventure. I will do the AT someday. We do have a target year set, but it will be a few years from now.
I hiked around a family with two children in 2002 who thru hiked. Those young children were having a blast. I followed the Crawford’s TH-cam and was blown away by them. They had my support from day one. I was even told to lay off the poor soul from WB who could finally sleep better for having turned the family in to Children’s Services.
I watched them it was amazing,,,,but I watched you also , pee wee,hand stand, black beard, pt ,ibtat,,,and a bunch more. And I did do trail magic Most people I watche made it, but a few didn't,,,,, my hike starts next year I will turn 70.
I finished “2000 Miles Together” a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, it was a unique story of the trail told in a new way. Hike on Crawford family! Also, I just picked up “Mud, Rocks, Blazes” and haven’t been able to put it down. Both are great and offer a refreshing take on the AT memoir genre. Keep the book reviews coming Evan!
How awful. Forcing your children to have fun and learning stuff along the way. Saying that, 6 kids v 2 adults… yeah. Why not?! Lol! They were very brave taking all of this on.
Nice video and approach. I think we got to see a little of Evan, attorney at law, in action here 😁. I didn't watch alot of the Crawford's videos but had/have alot of respect for them. The trail is difficult enough solo.....off the charts with a partner and 6 children. What those children learned at a young age is priceless and can take some of us an entire lifetime to figure out.
"The debatable utility of using trekking poles.." great line! I'll admit to being a bit ambivalent about the Crawfords in some respects, but admire their attitude towards family. Watching the video they posted that described government agents descending on them and threatening to remove the Crawford children from their own parents made my blood boil. At the end of the day, they're wonderfully eccentric in a lot of ways, and that's refreshing in a conformist, cookie cutter world. Good job highlighting their achievement on the trail with your video here, Evan.
I could be mistaken but didn’t they take a break and go home to run a marathon before finishing the AT or was that after. Anyway I equate the Crawford’s with marathons.
Paul Stutzman wrote a wonderful book about his through hike of the AT. Loved it. Sadly with social media there is good and bad. Same is said for life. I’m happy they powered through, impressed with their accomplishment!
I followed 30 AT thru hikers in 2018 including the Crawfords and you(Handstand too). This year I'm following the Strawbridges as they finish their triple crown. In one way or another most AT vloggers are fun to watch. Good Luck, Rick

Great video. I've only seen about half their trail videos and they were very entertaining. I'll definitely read the book. When is Evan going to write his book?
It is amazing what a family can accomplish if they just decide to press ahead yet some comments are so egocentric I can completely understand why many TH-cam creators have disabled all comments on their channel.
Love this Evan. Having spent a few days with this wonderful family I admire what you say about them and the book is truly inspiring. Internet trolls are very real and hiding behind their screens. Their achievements are amazing 👏
Dixie's recently-released first "prologue" video to her Florida Trail hike explains why she's so great at making video out of her adventures--it's just a great introduction to a trail that's new for most people. But I was also watching her very first videos on the Appalachian Trail, when she had hardly any subscribers. Her camera technique wasn't great but her story-telling was excellent. You could tell she was going places!
Writing books, eh? “Evan’s Backpacking Book” has a nice ring to it! I read the Crawford’s book and enjoyed it more than I did the videos (which I also enjoyed). Truly wish I had read something like it before I became a parent.

I remember watching their thru hike videos and cheered them on! Its a trip of a lifetime for a family as well as memories that will last forever.
Great video eWolf! My favorite is Sole Searching on the AT by Sam I Am (Ducharme)
Thanks, Loner! I love that book too. I did an Instagram post about it at Backpacker Comics.

Might buy the book when I get paid!
Liz Kidder is who I add to the hiking legends. Her and Evan’s videos in 2018 were just wonderful, along with the Crawfords.
Awesome! I’ll have to check out their videos
Was rewatching your hike yesterday as I do my workouts! Great stuff as always
Nice. Good info. Think I'll grab a copy.
I've been following quicksand on youtube
Just like I followed you in 18.

It seems that CPS who "interviewed" the family could have been seen as harassment, perhaps even false imprisonment, and even kidnapping... it seems child protective services get away with a great deal thst I dont believe they are legally authorized to. It seems they have ASSUMED certain authorities and legal roles that most people do not fight because of various circumstances, from economic to actual guilt, etc
I'm looking for a strict legal answer, generalizing where there may be jurisdictional differences, definitely not trying to get a political opinion, like I may have just inadvertently given (yes I'm a socialist libertarian).
Not exactly my area of the law, but I'd probably start by researching "qualified immunity"--and that's probably where my search would end, too.
@@EvansBackpackingVideos I guess I'm a little reactionary and I'm sure there is case law to reinforce just that... but still, is that the world we really want? (Yip, rhetorical, and I'd avoid it with a ten foot pole if I were you lol)

Don't think so. I'm from one myself and have one myself. (Not quite as large as the Crawfords though.)
