I love this. I love that you are dedicating your pain to our Savior. My husband and I have dreamed about the AT for many years, but unfortunately it may not ever be a reality for us and we're ok with that. But, we just talked last night about committing to a 40 day trek when we retire that we also want to dedicate to Jesus. Don't ever be afraid of offending anyone with your faith in Jesus. It is your faith and I believe it is our responsibility to share our faith. It is up to the receiver whether or not they are ready to receive it. I have been a believer in Jesus as my savior for a very long time, but for a long time I still lived for me and not Jesus. I have recently rededicated my life to our Savior and it's testimonies like yours that helped bring me back. Thank you!!! I pray for you and little bear and safe and happy journey ahead.
Thank you for sharing your story/hike with us! I usually watch you every morning as I get ready for work but this morning I was flying over the Smokey Mountains into charlotte and thought about you all! I said a prayer for safe hiking! I also spied a little snow at the peaks and hope you stay toasty warm! 😊
Hi Mama Bear & Little Bear! I found your channel by a search for the Appalachian Trail hikes here on YT & I'm so very glad that I did!!! I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you journey so far. But today's video hit home to me when you started to thank Jesus for all that He has done for us on the cross through His suffering, death, burial & His resurrection. Thank you for the reminder that He paid it all for us & when I'm in pain or am in a place of suffering, that He knows & is with us in it. He never leaves us nor forsakes us. You two are SUCH an inspiration!!! My prayers are with y'all as you journey onward!! God bless you & keep you & make His face shine upon you! Happy Trails!☺🏔🏕🌞💕
Love your channel so much and that you’re not afraid to talk about Jesus! Jesus didn’t care if people got offended, that’s their problem, not yours. He is the way 💛. May He shed love and light all the way to Katahdin! 💛
Thank you! 🙏🏼 I just want to spread love and light and cast no judgement. That’s not my place, so I’m careful in considering everyone’s feelings whilst staying true to myself and my faith.
Really loved your video today and how you shared your thoughts about Jesus! You both are on a great adventure and God is watching over you! Also loved how you will donate some of the money to an animal shelter. ❤🥾✝️🐈🐕🦺
Thank you for being so honest and transparent about your beliefs, I feel the same way. Thank you for sharing about Good Friday as you were climbing up the mountain, that hit me hard
I've been enjoying this immensely. Late to the start, so I'm just catching up. I did not have "Little Bear puts Mama Bear in an arm bar" on my AT Bingo card! Fantastic.
Such a special video. So proud of both of you for pushing through your challenges. Mama Bear, I really appreciated your heartfelt expressions about Good Friday. Ours are just momentary light afflictions in comparison to what He did for us. Little Bear, I'm touched that you plan to donate to the Animal Shelter. What a generous and loving thing to do. Excited for both of you that you'll be seeing family soon. Thank you so much for taking us along with you, and for "keeping it real."
Thank you for acknowledging our Lord’s gift of life to us all. What a way to spend Easter on trail with your daughter!! Way to go on the proceeds from TH-cam.
Congrats on your first state down. Quite an accomplishment. Loved your Good Friday analogy...spot on. Nothing compares to the pain and suffering Jesus did for us. Little Bear you're a tough girl. I'm so proud of you overcoming your home sickness. It's not an easy thing to do. Enjoy your visit with your family. Keep pushing north...Happy Trails...Winkle
Woo Hoo! You guys made it to NC! Awesome job!🥳🎊🎉 you may want to rethink that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu roll or at least do a thorough tick check afterward as you head north😉 ticks are already out in Virginia after our mild winter! Love your channel… happy hiking!❤
Woohoo! Georgia done! 🎉 way to go! 👍 I think if anybody following you is going to be upset or offended by your expression of your faith, then they're following the wrong hike! I'm not Christian, but I respect that you are, and respect your relationship with your god. If others don't, there are a hundred or more other channels of folks hiking the AT they can watch. 😊 Hike on ladies, and keep your faith. It makes you You. ❤
So proud of you two for making it to NC! Thank you for sharing your faith also. I can imagine that it's not only a physical journey, but mental and spiritual. Little Bear is wise beyond her years.. I'd be a little homesick too. That's normal to feel that way. Stay safe and warm..
Two of my favorite sisters on the trail! Thank you for sharing about our Great Savior! Given the beauty you are enjoying, can you imagine what He has prepared for us on the other side of eternity? Great job!👍🏼🙏🏼
Congratulations on crossing your first state and welcome to North Carolina! Thanks to all of the Georgia trail crew, maintainers and volunteers. Mama and Little Bear, you've got this. Hope you have many, happy trails ahead.
Just when I think I can’t love you guys more, you do something else that touches my heart. I love how you share your faith, how you celebrate state crossings YOUR special way, and the donation to the animal shelter! Also, the way you encourage each other and those around you! You are a very special mother/daughter duo and I feel privileged that you invite us to share your journey. ❤
You are a SUPER MOM!! What a beautiful thing you are doing for yourself and little bear. The lessons and values she is learning is going to be invaluable for the rest of her life! Your faith and your dedication shine brightly on your face and your daughter! God bless you both
Your Good Friday Testimony was spot on. Enjoyed it very much. That being said....anyone who would fight a bear for a snickers has my vote for outstanding Mama Bear! Hike on Bears.
I love that you are sharing your “loot” with the animal shelter. We adopted 2 kittens from our shelter. I like that LB can share her vulnerability and then also her conviction about making it. Truly felt your devotion on Good Friday
Thank you. 🙏🏼 I didn’t feel compelled to apologize, but to make sure those who may not share the same beliefs don’t feel judged by me. Judging is not my intention, only to love people right where they are. 💙🙏🏼
Great job! One state down. Nothing beats a snickers on trail😀. It’s my go to when I’m on trail. Thank you for sharing your faith! May God bless every step of your journey. Stay safe and stay well.
Congratulations Bears! FYI the only two i'm following on AT thru hikes is you two and "i suck at hiking" are both into jujitsu!.........and thank-you for giving the Lord thanks! be safe my sisters in Christ!
Not that I’m glad you hurt and had a hard day, but what a profound emotional and physical experience to feel that way on Good Friday! “I’d fight a bear for this Snickers” cracked me up! You ladies are a blessing to get to follow along on your journey and I hope your channel has much success. Thank you for sharing with us!!
Congratulations on getting into my home state. I remember that first climb in NC being a bear! Like you, I often compared my pain on trail to the pain Christ suffered for us. It always paled in comparison!! Thanks for the Gospel reminder! Enjoy NC. You're going to love the Smokies and balds!! God bless!!
Thank you! I’m never apologizing for my faith. I just want to make sure all, including those who don’t share my beliefs, feel included, valued and loved. 💙🙏🏼
❤ I truly love this channel. You 2 are inspiring... physically, mentally and spiritually!!! Thank you so much for sharing your adventure. God bless you both.. When you find it difficult, rely on him, he will carry you ❤
You are both so very genuine. I’m so impressed with your determination & commitment to Thru Hike the AT. Little Bear you are mature beyond your age. How are your choice of shoes holding up & are they meeting your expectations? ❤😊
Thank you! Our Hoka Speedgoats are awesome. No issues at all! I can see us going through about 4-5 pairs each though by the time this 2,200 miles is over.
What love 😆 I get all goofy faced watching you two 🤣 And… if anyone takes offense for your heart felt beliefs? You don’t need them to be here. But maybe you will win them over!
Holy cow you guys are adapting to the trail life quickly! Little Bear, you are incredible! 😎You have turned into a hiking machine. You seem to go the same speed uphill as you do on level ground! And Mama Bear.........."I would fight a bear for this Snickers!🤣 You both are very funny and great entertainment to watch your hike develop. You are both "hardening" and becoming formidable athletes. Your speed is fine, and you're hiking great. It took me 6 days just to get to Neel Gap! You guys got this! The hardest part is going on when you miss home. It's OK to miss home, even "bad asses" cry now and then.....the important factor is that you went on! Hike safe, Hike strong, Have fun! geek
Thanks so much! We’re adapting well and loving it out here. Missing family is still a big challenge for us, but we’re working through it. Thanks for being here!
Finally got caught up with you all. Keep after it. Don’t let Little Bear get down. Hard enough for adults to do this. Can’t imagine being 11 and no other kids around. I have an 11 year old granddaughter and no way she could even think about doing what you all are doing. ❤️
Hi Just another thought for Little Bear: How many people get to do what you and your mom are doing? You have an awesome family. Hang in there. May God and Jesus continue to keep you both.
10:10 am Hello little bear and mama bear from Atlanta! My hubby and I have been following you every day and sending up prayers for continued perseverance, safety and good health. It brings tears to our eyes when you speak of your faith….✝️ We love your positivity while acknowledging the hard moments. Thank you for your channel! "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6
You must live in Central Florida somewhere. You really inspire me ! Sharing your faith and testimony is beautiful! I’m an older woman and plan on hiking the AT someday! Knowing that you live in the flatlands of Florida and we’re still able to train is comforting! So look forward to following your journey to Maine!
You are my favorite channel. After working 12 hr shift I come home and watch your channel and pray for you both. I love that you share the challenges as well as the victories. I love that you look for the positives even on the hard days. God bless and continued safe travels. ❤
I know exactly how you feel! I am so proud of you two. Praying the Lord watch’s over you both each and every step of your journey and continues to bless you both. Thank you for letting me join your journey. Hoping to see you both at Trail Days. God bless! #teamlittlebear 😊
Getting close to having the first 100 miles of trail behind you. WOW! Just taking each day as it comes, enjoying the challenges and blessings that come your way, is the only way to go. Smiles over miles. Happy trekking! 🥾
Woo hoo!! NC!! And such a beautiful day! 😀 I woke up so sad this morning, and of course I looked to check on your progress. Your words Momma Bear about Jesus' pain really helped me feel a lot better, even through my tears, I am so grateful. Little Bear, you have the best attitude and focus! I love how you both at the end of the day you go through 'the questions' and document your thoughts and emotions. You are both very blessed! ❤
Congratulations on your first state down💃💃💃 My heart does break when I begin to imagine the pain and suffering Jesus endured for us. Our God is an AWESOME GOD🙏🙏 So excited for you to see your family soon🥰 💗💗
Yes, as you two have discovered by now, North Carolina amps up the altitude and tough climbing. These mountains are some of the tallest in the East. But by the time you get to Virginia, you will have the confidence that comes from handling the tough climbs.
Way to go ladies!!!! Hope you had a great Easter weekend. Congrats on one state down!!! Border BJJ. LOVE IT! I giggled at Mama Bears vision of a bear taking her Snickers 😂 I feel ya! Little Bear, great attitude young lady. Miss your family but focused on the goal you set. Keep up the great work.
Happy belated Good Friday to the two of you and congrats on getting to NC. That’s a 1st big milestone! What a great thing to give some of your TH-cam proceeds to the local animal shelter. That put a smile on my face 😊
You gals are doing great! Those rocks will prep you for Pennsylvania. Bumping your mileage up per day is good planning. Stick to it; it’ll pay off later up the trail. Tod ‘one D’ Davis
Amen sister , happy Easter the Lord has risen , praise God Jehovah Momma bear 🐻 and little bear 🐨 your doing great from what I can see of your videos making good time and having lots of fun stay safe stay healthy Happy trails and God Bless the unknown soldier 🪖🌹🥀🌷🍀
Congrats on crossing the state line today! That tree is one of the photos I kept from my section hike past it in 2019. I just love watching you share this with your daughter. I can only dream of sharing something like this with a granddaughter.
Mama Bear, thank you so much for being so open about your faith and your love for your God. Some say, "how can you call it 'Good' Friday when your Savior died?" If He didn't die, He couldn't rise! And the Apostle Paul said it best to the church in Corinth when he said "and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still (dead) in your sins" (1 Cor. 15:12-19). And your love for your family. What a great witness. Some time stamps: LB, I have always suspected that you weren't much of a morning person but 0:51 confirmed it! And MB, I love your husband's shirt at 20:12. Keep the faith, be safe, and God bless. He IS risen!
I love this. I love that you are dedicating your pain to our Savior. My husband and I have dreamed about the AT for many years, but unfortunately it may not ever be a reality for us and we're ok with that. But, we just talked last night about committing to a 40 day trek when we retire that we also want to dedicate to Jesus. Don't ever be afraid of offending anyone with your faith in Jesus. It is your faith and I believe it is our responsibility to share our faith. It is up to the receiver whether or not they are ready to receive it. I have been a believer in Jesus as my savior for a very long time, but for a long time I still lived for me and not Jesus. I have recently rededicated my life to our Savior and it's testimonies like yours that helped bring me back. Thank you!!! I pray for you and little bear and safe and happy journey ahead.
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say how proud we all are of both of you. May our heavenly Father guard and guide your every step.
Yes!
Amen! Thank you. He walks with us. 💙🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your story/hike with us! I usually watch you every morning as I get ready for work but this morning I was flying over the Smokey Mountains into charlotte and thought about you all! I said a prayer for safe hiking! I also spied a little snow at the peaks and hope you stay toasty warm! 😊
I love that you share Jesus so freely. The love that I feel when you talk about him fills my heart with such joy.
Thank you! We are so blessed and thankful. 🙏🏼 💙

Thank you so much! And welcome! We’re so glad you’re here and can share in our journey. 🙏🏼💙
I love your dedication to Jesus when you are having those physical challenges. I've had those thoughts on harder days.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
My heart will always belong to Jesus and I get my strength from God. 💙
LOVED THIS! Thank you for loving Jesus and being faithful to share what He did for us. You made me cry. ❤
Thank you so very much for sharing your faith in our precious Lord Jesus! So enjoying you girls adventures! Thank you for sharing!
🙏🏼💙🙏🏼
Ok, I got choked up when LB mentioned the donation to the local shelter. 😢 I adore animals. Trail magic for you 2 and the shelter. 😊
Thank you so much! We appreciate you. 💙🙏🏼
Love your channel so much and that you’re not afraid to talk about Jesus! Jesus didn’t care if people got offended, that’s their problem, not yours. He is the way 💛. May He shed love and light all the way to Katahdin! 💛

Love the border throw down, great job ladies.
This hike is yours. Don't apologize for your feelings or beliefs. You both will be in our prayers every night.
Thank you! No apologies for my beliefs, but I am always careful that everyone feels no judgement and love from me. 💙🙏🏼
It sits well with me. God Bless you both.❤
This is your channel don’t feel bad or worry about offending anyone. Keep being you and sharing your heart for God
Thank you! 🙏🏼

Amen Sister!
To be forgiven is a life worth living.🙂
(Started following at Grayson Highlands and am going back to see what I missed. )
My favorite Quote of the day "I'd fight a bear for this snickers" 😂
Hahaha!!! 😂
I was dead serious, too! Oh the strange and random things that go through your head on trail.
😂😂😂
Finishing Georgia with an armbar. Nice! 😎
Hahaha! Thanks! Good times! 😊
Thank you for acknowledging our Lord’s gift of life to us all. What a way to spend Easter on trail with your daughter!! Way to go on the proceeds from TH-cam.

Thanks so much! Yeah, we’re already on tick patrol! Thanks for the heads up in VA! Can’t wait to walk there. 😊

Hang in there little bear you got the AT one step at a time. NC has tough climbs. Welcome to my state!
If a bear came for your Snickers, no doubt Little Bear would put him in an arm bar! 😜
Thank you for sharing your faith and your strength found in Him. ❤
Love and light to you! 💙🙏🏼
Thank you for your Good Friday witness! He is risen, Indeed!
Congratulations to finishing Georgia! Hello North Carolina! Beautiful words honoring Jesus! Amen!
Thank you 🙏🏼
What a beautiful testimony on Good Friday! May God shower you and Little Bear with Blessings and Peace!
Holy Ghost ✝️🙏
Amen. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Thank YOU😊! Your reminder about Jesus is such a sweet blessing. Crying with you and so grateful for our gift of eternal salvation.
Thank you! I love you! 💙🙏🏼
So proud of you two for making it to NC! Thank you for sharing your faith also. I can imagine that it's not only a physical journey, but mental and spiritual. Little Bear is wise beyond her years.. I'd be a little homesick too. That's normal to feel that way. Stay safe and warm..
Thank you! 🙏🏼
I AM STILL HERE AND HAPPY TO SEE YOU ARE TOO💜💚
Your making great memories!! Really enjoy following your daily routine/adventure/and effort.
Thanks! We’re having a great time.
Thank you for your witness and testimony. Praying for y'all daily

Thank you! 🙏🏼
Happy happy tears for the 2 of you as you crossed your 1st state line. Keep up the hard work happy hiking

God is good…..All the time!
Congratulations on crossing into NC.
And
All the time
God is good!
Two of my favorite sisters on the trail! Thank you for sharing about our Great Savior! Given the beauty you are enjoying, can you imagine what He has prepared for us on the other side of eternity? Great job!👍🏼🙏🏼
It is beyond our imagination! 🙏🏼💙☀️
I for one LOVE how open you are with your faith. It’s beautiful and refreshing. You and Little Bear are doing great!
Thank you! 🙏🏼 Love and light to you. 💙

You are a very special mother/daughter duo and I feel privileged that you invite us to share your journey. ❤

I wanted to comment. I’ve been following since beginning and love how you both share your faith. We are all praying for you and Little Bear.
Thank you so much. Your prayers are everything! 😊💙🙏🏼
I love watching and praying for God's protection all the way to Katahdin. ❤️
Thank you! Your prayers are everything! 🙏🏼

God bless you both
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support and we’re happy to share our journey with you.
Ya had me at "Thank you Jesus" 🙂
Your Good Friday Testimony was spot on. Enjoyed it very much. That being said....anyone who would fight a bear for a snickers has my vote for outstanding Mama Bear! Hike on Bears.
Haha, thanks so much! The thoughts that go through your head out here are pretty interesting sometimes. 😂
Amen!

Thank you for sharing your life on trail. I so appreciate your authenticity. I look forward to your videos and watching your journey
Thank you for being here. 🙏🏼
Day 12!!!
I’m trying to catch up on your videos!
You girls are killin it!🩵
Thank you! 😊
I love that you are sharing your “loot” with the animal shelter. We adopted 2 kittens from our shelter.
I like that LB can share her vulnerability and then also her conviction about making it.
Truly felt your devotion on Good Friday
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Congratulations on crossing the Georgia /North Carolina border 👍😊
Thanks 🙏🏼
Please do not feel "compelled" to apologize for your faith and testimony to share. "Go tell the world" is really your one job anyway. Godspeed!
Thank you. 🙏🏼
I didn’t feel compelled to apologize, but to make sure those who may not share the same beliefs don’t feel judged by me. Judging is not my intention, only to love people right where they are. 💙🙏🏼
I'm hoping to cross into NC today. It seems that every up and down is littered with those rock hazards.
Congratulations! That’s wonderful! You’re doing it! 😊 Keep going!
Great job! One state down. Nothing beats a snickers on trail😀. It’s my go to when I’m on trail. Thank you for sharing your faith! May God bless every step of your journey. Stay safe and stay well.

Thanks so much! We’re adapting well and loving it out here. Missing family is still a big challenge for us, but we’re working through it. Thanks for being here!
Amen to all that!
Loved that pin down ❤
Finally got caught up with you all. Keep after it. Don’t let Little Bear get down. Hard enough for adults to do this. Can’t imagine being 11 and no other kids around. I have an 11 year old granddaughter and no way she could even think about doing what you all are doing. ❤️

Hi Just another thought for Little Bear: How many people get to do what you and your mom are doing? You have an awesome family. Hang in there. May God and Jesus continue to keep you both.
Thank you! Great thought. 😊
10:10 am Hello little bear and mama bear from Atlanta! My hubby and I have been following you every day and sending up prayers for continued perseverance, safety and good health.

4:07 DANG ! Sweet double leg takedown and welcome to my backyard. NC

You must live in Central Florida somewhere. You really inspire me ! Sharing your faith and testimony is beautiful! I’m an older woman and plan on hiking the AT someday! Knowing that you live in the flatlands of Florida and we’re still able to train is comforting! So look forward to following your journey to Maine!
Thanks so much! You can do this! 😊
You are my favorite channel. After working 12 hr shift I come home and watch your channel and pray for you both. I love that you share the challenges as well as the victories. I love that you look for the positives even on the hard days. God bless and continued safe travels. ❤
Thanks so much! We’re so happy you’re here. 💙🙏🏼
I know exactly how you feel! I am so proud of you two. Praying the Lord watch’s over you both each and every step of your journey and continues to bless you both. Thank you for letting me join your journey. Hoping to see you both at Trail Days. God bless! #teamlittlebear 😊
Thanks for being here! ☺️ We’re so happy to share our journey with you.
Getting close to having the first 100 miles of trail behind you. WOW! Just taking each day as it comes, enjoying the challenges and blessings that come your way, is the only way to go. Smiles over miles. Happy trekking! 🥾
Yes! Thank you! It’s been great!
Woo hoo!! NC!! And such a beautiful day! 😀 I woke up so sad this morning, and of course I looked to check on your progress. Your words Momma Bear about Jesus' pain really helped me feel a lot better, even through my tears, I am so grateful. Little Bear, you have the best attitude and focus! I love how you both at the end of the day you go through 'the questions' and document your thoughts and emotions. You are both very blessed! ❤
Thank you so much. We pray you wake up with joy in your heart today. 💙
Congratulations on your first state down💃💃💃 My heart does break when I begin to imagine the pain and suffering Jesus endured for us. Our God is an AWESOME GOD🙏🙏 So excited for you to see your family soon🥰 💗💗
Thank you! Breaks my heart every time, but oh am I so thankful for His suffering. 💙🙏🏼
Yes, as you two have discovered by now, North Carolina amps up the altitude and tough climbing. These mountains are some of the tallest in the East. But by the time you get to Virginia, you will have the confidence that comes from handling the tough climbs.
We’re loving NC! 😊
God is Good!!!! Congratulations, ladies!!! I LOVE the birder celebration! You made me tear up. Beautiful! 🙏❤️
Way to go ladies!!!! Hope you had a great Easter weekend. Congrats on one state down!!! Border BJJ. LOVE IT! I giggled at Mama Bears vision of a bear taking her Snickers 😂 I feel ya! Little Bear, great attitude young lady. Miss your family but focused on the goal you set. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! We had a wonderful Easter with Jesus, trail magic and tramily. 😊
Yes, “Border BJJ,” that’s perfect! 🤩
Thanks for your support. 💙🙏🏼
Happy belated Good Friday to the two of you and congrats on getting to NC. That’s a 1st big milestone! What a great thing to give some of your TH-cam proceeds to the local animal shelter. That put a smile on my face 😊
Thank you! We’re still having fun! 🤩
And our hearts will always be with the animals. 🐾💙🙏🏼
Welcome to our lovely State of North Carolina!!!!!!!! We'll be with you all the way!!!
Thank you! We love NC!
Amen. Awesome!
You gals are doing great! Those rocks will prep you for Pennsylvania. Bumping your mileage up per day is good planning. Stick to it; it’ll pay off later up the trail. Tod ‘one D’ Davis

Congrats on crossing the state line today! That tree is one of the photos I kept from my section hike past it in 2019. I just love watching you share this with your daughter. I can only dream of sharing something like this with a granddaughter.
Mama Bear, thank you so much for being so open about your faith and your love for your God. Some say, "how can you call it 'Good' Friday when your Savior died?" If He didn't die, He couldn't rise! And the Apostle Paul said it best to the church in Corinth when he said "and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still (dead) in your sins" (1 Cor. 15:12-19). And your love for your family. What a great witness. Some time stamps: LB, I have always suspected that you weren't much of a morning person but 0:51 confirmed it! And MB, I love your husband's shirt at 20:12. Keep the faith, be safe, and God bless. He IS risen!
Amen and AMEN!
