    Watching in 2020. So fun to see Dixie on her first Thru-hike!

    I like when. looking back, you filmed not just the trail, but the people of the trail and the culture of the trail…many dont show this and as people get more experienced as hikers…they tend to show less of that and more about themselves…Im glad you still show so much of the nature while you are hiking

    Omg. Ive been watching you since the beginning of your PCT hike and it never dawned on me that Dixie is your trail name. It suits you so well that I thought it was your given name 😂!

    It's amazing: I watched Red Beard's vlog on the AT, and although the trail itself was identical more or less, the dynamic is so different with your vlog. This isn't a bad thing, I like that I'm not seeing two identical thru-hikes! :D Look forward to seeing more!

    I love this so much! I've followed you on the PCT and CDT, but this is the first time to check out your maiden voyage. First of all, you look like a baby (so young) and second, the fact that you doubted yourself is so normal and look how far you've come. It gives me hope. Big Hugs!

    0:22 You said one of the reasons you've stopped at the creek is to wash some clothes. Just wondering, because in the other video you said not to do laundry at the creeky places.
    By the way, I've got my fingers crossed that you'll have a safe trip and make it. I'll be following your progress! I hope your tendonitis imrproves over the next couple of days. Good luck!

      If you want to day hike or do short overnights, most AT trail heads will have parking. If you want to thru-hike from Georgia to Maine or do longer sections…consider getting dropped off 😂 there are shuttles at some of the bigger trail heads.

  • @whippet6636

    ? when hiking the trail can you just pull off the trail and set up camp where you want ?

    • @HomemadeWanderlust
      @HomemadeWanderlust  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      In a lot of places you can stealth camp. It will be posted at some point in areas where it is not permitted. Although camping in a designated area does reduce high traffic impact.

  • @musicaflowerchild5540
    @musicaflowerchild5540 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm confused. Did you do a solo hike and just make friends on the AT? Or did you do a group hike? I would like to do a solo section hike. And I'm wondering if I'm going to be alone all the time.
