As someone who also has a talking dog, I enjoy Leo’s point of view
Don't all dogs talk? 🤔
❤
He's a smart boy
So excited to see someone doing a thru hike with their dog! I'll be taking my Service Dog with me so it will be nice to see things from a dogs vantage.
Thanks for watching
Leo needs a distance tracker on him! By the time he finishes, he’s gonna have double the mileage with all the backtracking he does. What a cutie! And if you’re not careful, Leo will take over your channel! What a star ⭐️!
He's the star already!
Leaving your wife…your hardest steps. 🥺 Ugh, Little Bear and I are feeling that when we think about leaving our family. I’m glad Kara will visit you in Hot Springs. I think Brian and the kids will plan on visiting us at the NOC, or somewhere around there. Not making hard plans so we can remain flexible.
Looks like you and Leo are doing well. Love his commentary! 😂🐾
It’s fun to see your comment. Your 2 channels are the 2 I have picked to watch this year. Good luck to all of you.
@@xbadventures Hey! Thanks so much! We appreciate you! We’re loving cheering Master Splinter and Leo on after meeting them on the FHT back in December. It’s a small world. Little Bear and I are ready to go. Just a few more weeks!
Thank you!
Well, to make the world even smaller, I’m dreading sooo bad leaving my GF (Fierce Flamingo) behind this weekend. We met you on the FHT. We were with hiking that day with Catmando and I think you were with Ramdino there by the river. Also, @wildflowersadventures (Mama Bear and Little Bear), seen you guys at her “birthday party” at the Leapfrog Café. Your husband took our pic that day. I’ll be leaving out from Dicks Creek Gap after the kickoff this weekend. Did the first 70 miles a couple weeks ago. Hope to bump into you all again
@@Voodoo.77 This is awesome! It’s like a little reunion! Good luck to you! We’re cheering you on! Are you vlogging? If so, we’ll follow!
I suck at hiking….. aka Leo’s Great Adventure!
Have fun hiking with Leo. We take our dog on shorter hikes and he loves getting out there where the squirrels are. Leo is almost camouflaged in those leaves.
He is!
Good luck! Please watch out for Leo and keep him safe!!
I am!
I forgot you are bringing the dog. Expert mode unlocked! Good luck sir.
Thanks!
Great dog and stash. Enjoy! 😊 Shame my dog is fourteen otherwise I'd have a go with her here in NH.
Thanks
Leo might be my favorite part of the journey
Gonna rename the channel to Leo the hiking dog!
It’s great to see you guys having fun! Leo looks like he’s enjoying himself! Good luck and take care. I will be cheering you on! 😊
Thank you 🤗
You and Leo had a fantast day one. I think Leo did 25 miles with all the running around. You both are doing great. Leo has amazing recall, thats a credit to you for his training and to him for listening. Well done. Continue north and have fun.
Yes! Thank you!
Oh that was so great. Thanks for such a well done video. Sending it to my grandkids, they have a doodle that looks just like him. Telling them he is their dogs brother, and he can talk! They will be loving it. Happy and safe happy hiking to you both. I know you will have a large following here.
Wonderful!
Thank you so much for providing Leo's prospective. As a mother to furbabies myself it's important to make sure they get say. Lol! Loving the videos so far, very well produced and informative. Looking forward to following along on your hike!
You are so welcome!
So I haven’t seen any of this video, nor any video by this channel, but I took one look at this gentleman’s mustache and and said to myself, he may survive the trip, but those handlebars most definitely will not.
My luxury item is my mustache kit!
@@ISuckatHiking well all the best to you, your dog, and your mustache. I hope your thru hike goes well and without incident.
@@arancourt5623 I just rewaxed it!
That's a lot of miles for day one! And Leo probably did twice that with all the running back and forth to tell you about all the squirrels and logs and roots and dirt and stuff 😉😂
He likes to let me know what is coming up!
Just found yall and I am catching up on all of your videos. I can't wait to follow yall all the way to Maine!! Leo is adorable!!!
Thank you!! 😊
Wow, yall started out strong. Happy trails🙌🏻
Thank you so much
Hey brother you are moving right along. Continue to be blessed and enjoy the views. I’ll be on trail in 6 weeks, your enthusiasm is keeping me FIRED UP!!! Happy 100 miles!
Excited for you!
I'll be the one. Can you please leash the pup as should be proper trail hiking for others and the safety of the pup. Thanks
No he is trail trained not to go to people. He is a service dog not a pet. If someone approaches the trail he comes to me to let me know and goes leash. I know how to properly handle my service dog.
@@ISuckatHiking Sorry if you took that as an insult.
@@jamicrawford6729 I wasn't insulted, but now you know why he's not on leash. I also spend 90% of each day alone I have only been around 3 people in 2 days
@@ISuckatHiking no worries on my end 😊. I’m Im not familiar with services animals on trail, so my comment was blanketed since my wife was bitten on trail while we were backpacking. The video was great though. Thanks for sharing
Tuesday, February 27th: Having goals gives you something to aim for. Nice start. Good weather. Leo looks prepared! lol! Good luck! You got this. Press on! Happy Trails! Ross08
Yes! Thank you!
Good luck See you in Pennsylvania
Thank you!
As a fellow owner of a hiking doodle, I can't wait to see how dirty Leo gets. Mine somehow gets soaked and muddy just walking the kids to the bus top, so the full AT should be impressive!
He was clean until 8 hours of rain yesterday!
Hey what an awesome thumbnail! Someone really cool must've taken it haha. It was cool running into you on the trail. Good luck to you the rest of the way!
I waited up there forever what took you so long 😭
I just found your thru-hike videos (you were in NYC!) I watched that, and then decided to add you to my list of thru-hikers I'm watching this year. Can't wait to catch up and then follow you until Katahdin!
Welcome aboard!
Woohoo! Day one down! And what a beautiful day it was!
It was nice
Leo is beautiful. Enjoy the hike, remember me if needed
Thanks
I love the leo commentary!
He's a show stopper
Wishing you good health, safe passage and good fortune. May your journey give you peace and comfort. Happy Trails!
Thanks
All the best from to you and Leo from 🇦🇺 for the rest of your hike. You have made a fantastic start and thoroughly enjoyed that video. We own a Chesapeake Bay retriever, and if he was younger, and if we were based in the states, it would’ve been an amazing experience to take him on, at least some of the AT.
Thanks so much!
Ok you’re a real hiker you made it all the way to Gooch on Day 1. Might be able to watch this one. Having a dog with make this hike at least 50% harder. Good luck!!
We are working it out!
Congratulations on you start Michael and Leo! I love backpacking with my trail dog, I look forward to following your journey. Good luck and happy trails!
Awesome! Thank you!
Best f luck to you both on the trail and I will definitely be following your video. First time I seen someone do the hike with their dog. I bet checking him for ticks is going to be a challenge in of itself everyday.
He is on flea and tick medication so they will die!
Love the moe looks good. Oh Leo I love you, such cuteness. Keep it up.
Thank you! 🤗
Leo is adorable! If he were wearing a Garmin, his mileage would be twice as long!
100%, he's consistently asking what's taking everyone so long? 🤣
I slow him down
Maybe one day I will do a thru hike. But it's cool to watch everyone else. I wish I knew about the AT or thru hiking a couple of years ago. Timing would have been perfect. Good luck.
Thank you!
Congrats on your first day of your journey on the AT. Watched many of your prep videos and today you definitely seemed a little more pensive than usual; understandable, a lot on your mind. Best of luck; Will be following along.
Thank you! Will do!
Aw! Leo !! ❤. Good luck fellas!!
Thanks
Leo zooming by you is my favorite! That pup just might love to hike more than you.
He does
Onward! :-) Hooray. Step by step.
Thanks
Love your dog. Wish you the best.
Thanks
Best of luck. That's a hard day. My son and I on trail last year made it to Devil's Kitchen and stopped. Def an eye opener. Best of luck
Many many thanks
My husband and I watch every evening before bed with a hot cup of tea. My teenagers have started watching you too. We enjoy your videos. May I ask what breed of dog is Leo? He is awesome!
Golden doodle, amazing!
Love getting your dog's perspective 🤣
Thank you🐕🦺
Good luck! That first day is so exciting.
It really is!
Wishing you the best for your hike! I think you will go the distance. Wishing I were out there on the trail instead of sitting behind a desk!
Maybe one day!
Following, following. Quite the early start, weather seems amazing...good luck! Love the dog commentary...maybe do a vid with just Leo's commentary? :)
Great suggestion!
🚶🐕🦺🥾🥾⛺🔥 happy safe hiking go Leo he looks so happy out there you got the best sleeping system on the trail a live electric blanket go Leo
He's a keeper
Godspeed to you and Leo.
Thank you
Good luck on your journey. We will be rooting for you guys you on
Thank you
Have a great hike!
We are!
Love Leo! 😍
Love Leo ❤ have a great hike both of you
Thanks
Congrats on a successful day 1! Leo did 2 days worth :)
Yes! Thank you!
You do better video editing in the middle of the woods than I can do at home
Just practice
What are you doing to protect Leo’s paws?? I’m a new sub, so apologies if you’ve already talked about this. have a smaller version of him. Thx! So jealous of your journey!!
They have hardened but I do have covers if needed
Good luck, enjoy the journey
Thank you! Will do!
Awesome day! really enjoyed the video. Keep it up! Maybe try the mushers wax on the stache?
Thanks for the tip!
what about the smokies ? you can't have dogs there right? nice vid!
He is a service dog he can go anywhere I can
Well, I do like the bootprint on your hat, Leo is awesome to me (my cats aren't impressed though), you don't wear us out by talking so much (!), so my 75 years young West Virginia hide is glad I subscribed. Is Leo planned to reach Katahdin before you, and does he get to have a GoPro for the hike?
Please enjoy and keep us posted, Sir!
That's my logo on my hat!
What will you do with little man when you guys get to the Smokies , will he be going off with his Mum and then meeting back up with you once you leave the Smokies , little man Leo is so damn sweet , such a lovely boy , bless him , sending big cuddles to Leo
He can come with me but I will access the situation before I get there, he is a service dog
Love it!!!!
Thanks bro!
Is Leo a Cobberdog? He looks so much like our female Cobberdog but is much better behaved! Best of luck on your journey!
Golden doodle
Please keep watch on Leo’s paws and his body language. It’s his safety first as he can’t speak . Increase his calories as well. Thank you and enjoy your journey.
For sure. Michael loves that pup like a son. He's hyper aware and went through all precautionary things with our vet before leaving.
Thank you, I will
HAPPY TAILS!
Thanks
fuck yes dude ! your doing it bro
I am!
Good luck! You hava new subscriber. What are your plans to do in the sections that dont allow dogs? What about other hikers that dont like dogs and have concers about the no leash? Just curious. Snowman ⛄ 2019 I'll have magic and dog treats in Ct!
He is trained to come to me if there's anyone on the trail ahead of me. He doesn't go to strangers. He is a service dog so he can go anywhere I go.
Nice Stache sir.
Thank you kindly
Good luck! Not sure if you have a video on this already, but I'm curious to know what is in Leo's pack. My Goldendoodle, Bandit, loves to hike too!
I didn't get to a video on his back but he has 4 days of dehydrated food a puffy and a fleece as well as treats around 6 pounds filled
Awesome! May I ask what type of camera you are using? Footage looks great! Also how old is Leo?
Happy Trails!
It's a DJI pocket 3 and Leo is 1
I have been hiking with a dog for 30 plus years. I know that what ever dog is with me is thinking "Why is Mom so slow!" At some point they learn to pace themselves. I am enjoying yours and Leo's adventure. Did you start on the dog friendly trail out of Amicalola, or did you do the grated stairs?
Day 0 we walked the trail to avoid the stairs for his feet
Let’s goooooooo 🎉
OH yeah!
Did you skip the approach?
I've done it before. No need to do it again
Do you have a plan for leo and the rock scrambling later on in the trail? Does he fit in the pack? Lol
We will navigate it when it happens
Just wondering if they make something like shoes for dogs. Leo’s poor paws might get a bit sore after a week straight of hiking 15 to 20 milers. I’m not worried if you will do the right thing with Leo or not, it’s clear you love him. Just a question that popped into my head as I was watching.
They have shoes but he won't have traction if I put them on. The vet said his paws need to callous. His body adjusts like mine, I will take time if needed to help him adjust
Does Leo accept sponsorship? Some company needs to grab him up before he’s anymore famous
Yup!
The doggy voice is so funny!
What voice he is talking 🤣
@@ISuckatHiking 😂😂🤣
what equipemtn are you using to tape and edit your videos. Good luck with your journey.
I'm using a DJI pocket 3 and I use power director on my phone to edit
Thanks. I checked your gear video and did not see where you got the knife and the shoes.@@ISuckatHiking
👍🏻👊🏻👏🏻🙏🏻⬆️
⚡😁💪
Are you skipping the off limits areas for Leo?
He is a service 🐕🦺 there's no off limits
Thinking about getting a dji. Could you let me know how you upload from it on the trail? Can you upload directly from it or how does it work?
I carry a card reader and plug it in to my phone to edit
@@ISuckatHiking thank you!!
Are there FKTs for dogs?
Not sure but we ain't hitting no FKT 🤣
How do you know wild animals are going to get you at night? That’s my only thing!
They are more worried about you than you should be them
How old is Leo?
1 year
Mustache 🤌
Thanks 🥸
@@ISuckatHiking no problem. Use wax? What brand? You have inspired me to finally take the plunge and grow mine out!!
@@coltnewsome I use bare bones wax and Zeus styling gel
Thanks man:)
❤ Leo❤❤❤
If he accepts hugs from strangers give him one for me. It makes my 2 jealous so I won’t tell SadieMay or Tip.
I can give him one for you
Leo needs to be on a leash. He seems to be really well behaved but that doesn't remove the obligation of having him leashed.
leave the dog, take the cannoli
...
Dude, out of respect for other hikers , and wildlife, your dog should be on a leash.
My dog is a service dog and is trained to alert me of anyone on trail and returns to me to get on leash to pass. I spend 90%of every day alone on the trail. He doesn't go to people because he is trained. Thanks for watching!
Subscribed! Taking your dog is fantastic!!!
Thanks for subbing!
