@@Ramdinohikes ~ 459.7 - 460.8. TEHCC. I know one mile doesn’t seem like much, but we will keep whittling away. There are a LOT of trees across the trail!
I have been following the Helene devastation since the beginning and there are several amazing civilian groups working on recovery, bringing supplies, work and rescue crews. I cannot leave links because youtube deletes links. Here are the names that can be easily searched on here. Grind Stone Ministries, Cajun Navy Relief, Perma Pastures Farm, Bear Independent (he is the creator and president of Grind Stone Ministries), Western NC Operation Mountain Relief, On Three, The Benghazi Rabbit and many churches. Thanks Ramdino!
Thanks for the updates, Ramdino, and for all the information about trail conditions and detailed location info. Your work is valuable and so appreciated and needed. Still praying for all of you who were impacted by the hurricane. Take care.
Thank you for another great update. So glad you were able to go to NC to help out. My Amish friend’s sons in NC helping for 2 weeks. They were full of heartbreaking stories when they came home. May God Bless everyone who have been there and helped out! 🙏❤️🥾 Have a good week Ramdino & Hike On. 🥾
Thanks for this informative video, Ramdino. Kudos for helping with relief efforts, and thanks for encouraging others to do the same. Also, Happy Birthday! 🎉 ✨ 🎁 🎈
Thank s Ramdino. I was planning on a 2025 thru but work got in the way (probably best for trail conditions). Looks like 2026 for me, He works in mysterious ways!
Plantar faciitis no joke! I hiked with it for about 800 of the 1,100 miles that I completed in '23 before a slip in the mud gave me a double tear in the meniscus of my left knee, ending my thruhike attempt and making me another DNF AT thruhike statistic. Continued prayers 🙏 for the southern Appalachian communities. I hope to be able to head south to help with the reconstruction effort before winter sets in. Thanks to Fresh Ground for the update interview. 👍
🚶👟👟⛺🌞 thanks again for another great news update ramdino praying for everyone to be safe and everyone to get the trail clean again 🙏🙏🙏 so ready for Crowders mountain State Park in Kings mountain State Park South mountain State Park to open
Thanks Ramdino for your up-dates. If the officials are fining people for climbing through the closed sections the group on the video made a confession. Rut rue
The NOC is open in Wesser. I arrived by car and did not go up the hill either direction to see if the trail was intact in that section just south of the smokies( i.e. the Priest) or washed out of blocked. In the hills above that town.
Hiked Harvey's Knob Overlook to Rte 220 SoBo this weekend. Huge blown downs across the trail SoBo of Wilson Creek Shelter. Four massive oaks; hikers have cut a primitive "go around" but treacherous through that part. Smaller blow downs throughout the area to Fullhardt Shelter. Be safe and God bless our people in NC, TN, VA; #appalachiaStrong
There will have to be a reroute over Jackson Love Bridge in Erwin because the Chestoa Bridge is gone. I think the Forest Service, Carolina Mountain Club, Eastman and ETTA are working on the AT from Davenport Gap to Georgia. A lot of the maintainers are retired and are working as hard as they can.
It's definitely a challenging situation with the Chestoa Bridge gone, but it's great to see so many dedicated organizations coming together to keep the Appalachian Trail safe and accessible!
I 2nd the Geo western N.C. videos. Very informative and explain what happened from a geography standpoint. / Good energy to everyone involved. / Good update, Ramdino.
Ramdino, they officially closed all trails to Katahdin including the AT at 1pm on October 14. I got to the ranger station at Katahdin Stream Campground at around 4:30 pm. They never reopened the trail and then announced the fall season closure on 10/17. Many hikers were hoping it would reopen with the impending warming trend, but park officials did not. It was disappointing because we thought it would reopen for the weekend at least to let the last hikers reach the summit.
@@LookUp1991They had months to get it done. I ran into a few younger hiker’s on the AT in Vermont and I ask them why they were so late and they essential said they jerked around and took to many days off. Everyone knows how the trail works. Hike your own hike but know there are repercussions for not taking care of business. They close the mountain for a reason. This is nothing new.
@@mtadams2009 Yeah, I agree with this. This is going to be a shocker for hikers, but the park staff isn't just there for them. Reminded of that guy who set the trail record and celebrated with popping bottles of champagne and the ranger promptly gave them all citations and they were all like we just did this amazing thing how could you do that? Well, it's his job, he's not there to coddle hikers, not to keep it open until you show up, I suspect if hikers were to spend a week in park rangers shoes they'd see the other side of things. I admire through-hikers but sometimes they think they can get a little self-absorbed...
I spoke to that group of hikers (Maui Jim and Spring Chicken) in Damascus on Monday. They were all in for a week of volunteer work in Konnarock and then they had planned to jump down to Davenport Gap to finish their SOBO. But it's the trail, so it may have changed since Monday.
Wow! I was 872 NOBO on September 24 and 1996 overall for thru hikers. I think the 2274 number was the overall tag, not the NOBO specific tag, especially since the trail closed on Monday the 14th for good and then they decided on the 18th to fully close for the season. But there weren’t five more days that the park was open.
Me too, as he explains in great detail, how and why the devastation happened, and could it happen again in the future? Hopefully not, but with the changes the world over, who know for definite!
7:51 that’s a lot of ppl to summit in one year! Also a little bit off-topic, but Jaru walks is on his Continental divide Trail calendar Triple Crown and he’s about to finish it I think
I've been doing day hikes over the last month or so between ~ Bear's Den to SNP just inside the border* Have run into two through-hikers doing the HF to Katahdin, then flipping down to Springer and return to HF. Wed Oct 16 I ran into "PUZZLES" an older guy with a large backpack. Actually, gave him a ride from Front Royal to the trailhead at Trumbo Hollow/I66 not an inconsiderable road walk. I asked him about his pack, he replied "If I buy an UL pack then I'd have to buy UL equipment" I laughed. He also said he was just going to get to the Manassas Gap shelter, maybe 2-3 miles in from the highway. For someone who's got maybe a week to go to finish, he's taking his time: the pure of heart! :^) I made a comment to him that by virtue of making it north of the Helene destruction in time, he might be the last contiguous day through-hiker... but then a week later Oct 23rd ran into "DOCTOR SRIRACHA" who was doing the same HF->K S->HF flipflop, had an interesting conversation asked her about blowdowns etc. (mentioned some blow down around the Weary Feet hostel but of course, all that info is stale by now) so maybe she'll be the last contiguous day through-hiker! (unless she passes PUZZLES, tee-hee) *back in 1976 hiked south to Blacksburg from Dickey Ridge in SNP so happy moment for me to "tag-up" where Dickey Ridge hits the AT. Anyway, might repeat some of this next time if anyone is interested in PUZZLES and/or DOCTOR SRIRACHA, I'll presume they've finished their through-hikes now by climbing the stairs to the Rabbit Hole restaurant :^)
It has occurred to me maybe he planned on the road walk so ending the day at Manassas gap "would have been" plenty for one day, and like me, sometimes the goal is the goal: staying at MG for that night. And yeah "Shenandoah National Park" not "Saturday Night Live" sheesh.
Hopefully, all the Appalachian Trail maintainers will be allowed into the National Forest to start clearing the trail of debris from Hurricane Hellene. Some are already there. Leave a comment below and send me any pictures or video you have of damaged trail sections
I'm an AT trail maintainer in WNC and am not allowed into my section yet. For anyone who would like to assist, please contact the Carolina Mountain Club to volunteer.
I live close to Iron mountain and so far the Cherokee national forest wants to assess before we can maintain. I can see with binoculars one sections total devastation between Watauga Lake and Cross mountain. 😢
Have you heard anything about the hang tags for next year? Last 2 years they already had the polling for color and announcement of the winner by last month. Wondering if they're not doing the voting this year. Thought that was always fun.
@@pcrice-lr2dn every sobo hiker I met just doesn’t care. At all. I stopped because it’s the right thing to do. Everyone else? Mostly young kids and it shows.
I get your point but life continues. I have lost my home to micro burst. I was fortunate and had good insurance. I don’t think hiking the trail is a terrible thing. Just stay off the closed sections.
I'm planning on starting my AT thru-hike in late February, starting from Springer Mtn going NOBO. Do you think the AT Trail near Asheville, NC will be open by April? I'm not a fast hiker. I also live in Swannanoa, which is near Asheville.
I live up on Big Bald between Sam’s Gap and Erwin. I think the trail will be clear here. Erwin is still there and functional. Hotels, stores etc..I26 will be completely open by then. The hospital and some areas in the county have had significant damage. You will definitely know you are hiking through an area that has had many trees down, but with all the volunteers we have, the trail will be hike able next Feb, March and on. Right now we are focused on the communities but there will be a transition.
Unless a washed-out or destroyed portion of the Appalachian Trail is posing a significant threat of a future down slope landslide that will threaten human lives, residences, or businesses, then federal monies should be spent on rebuilding infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and communications nexuses in order to restore some semblance of normalcy back to those areas of Appalachia that Hurricane Helene devastated. I'm well aware of the tourist dollars that day hikers and through hikers on the Appalachian Trail bring to the hundreds of towns and communities located adjacent to the Trail. That being said, until those communities, the businesses located within them, and especially the roads servicing those communities that depend on Appalachian Trail income for survival, are restored to a point where daily/weekly/monthly truck resupply is a reality, then those communities are of little use to anyone utilizing the Appalachian Trail for recreational purposes.

I fell last year and got a Herniated Disc, had surgery in December and my Herniated Disc came back. Unfortunately I'm also a fall risk. So I'm hoping to recover from this one without having repair surgery. As soon as I'm able I'm going to hit the trails backpacking. So my goal is the AT for 2026!!

Yes. Please remember the communities that have been devastated. All resources need to go to these areas. These people are just trying to survive.
