Thanks so much!! 😊
You are killing it, ladies! Congratulations on 600 miles!.
Thanks! 😊
Yahoo!!!!! 600 miles!!!! You both are so strong on every trail and everyday! Thank you for your daily content.
Hi Bears! I love Little Bear when she talks... she makes me smile so much. I am glad you guys were able to eat and have cake. Little Bear keep being you.
600!!! You gals are kicking butt!!! So proud and happy for you both!!!🥾
Way to go ladies on hiking 600 miles!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Fun game you came up with. Id imagine after hiking all those miles, some days can be a little tedious. Especially since the trees are probably blocking the big beautiful views.
Little Bear is so darn funny when shes over tired. Lol such a sweetheart, all excited about her cake waiting for her. 😂 Id be excited too, I love cake with lots of homemade buttercream frosting. And Ive never heard of mushroom stew but sounds delicious ❤
Omgosh that food looked so good. So nice to have a homemade dinner waiting for you when you got there.
Platinum blazing, almost 40 miles in 2 days! The Bears are rocking it! Im jealous, you're doing great and making memories, and making it look easy ❤
✌️🫶
600 Miles!!! You are really getting some strong hiking legs now! After those miles, you really needed that great meal and a private QUIET room to rest🥰🥰🥰🥰
600 miles! Woohoo! Congrats to you both! Thank you Mama Bear for mentioning me and all the other trail angels. We love what we do! Y’all are going to love Woodshole and Angels Rest! Journey on! 👏🏻🌻✌️❤️🦆donnie duck
Congrats on 600 Miles!👍🏼
Go Mama Bear & Little Bear Go!
👟🐻🐻👍🏼
Congratulations Bears on 600 Miles! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. Also a 18 mile day! 😊. Plus a great meal and a piece of cake and a restful nights sleep! You Two are doing great! So proud of you! 👍Hike On! 🏕️🧗♀️🥾🇺🇸👍🙏
Thanks so much🙏🏼
Just imagine having a waterfall like that in your back yard😊😊😊😊😊
Congrats on 600. You both are doing awesome. Little Bear most of the time makes me think she could jog the trail backwards. Not sure what happened but YT unsubbed me, But I got caught up again.
So sorry. We keep hearing YT is doing that. No idea why! Glad you got it sorted out and are here to share our journey. 😊
I wanted to share a brief story of something that happened yesterday, that caused me to gain an even greater respect for the 2 of you and what you are accomplishing.
I had to get a bag of bird feed out of my shed and fill up my feeders. I buy big bags and as I pulled it out, I noticed that it was a 30 pound bag and the size and shape of your back pack. It was heavy. In that moment, the thought went through my head that you are carrying that weight on your back with every step! I have so much admiration and respect for both of you. Wow!
I wish you continued safe travels and and am sending good vibes your way!!
Jack K.
Thank you so much! We appreciate your encouragement and support. Love and light to you! 🙏🏼💙☀️
Congratulations on 600 miles 🎉🎉🎉
OH WOW!! You're doing over 18 miles!!! NICE!! You had more energy in you than you thought, LOL!!
💥600💥 You poor weary bears. Snoring is a tough one. Sleep is so important, even more so on the trail. These hostels with multiple beds in one room should keep a box of earplugs around. 👍 You guys did great miles regardless of poor sleep. 👏💪 Rest well 😊
U 2 r doing a good job 👍👍71 outside put in some miles on the rainy days u can rest
Great job on reaching 600 miles. The milestones come quickly when you do bigger miles and you're both killing it now!! Platinum blazing is readily available in VA so I'm glad you're getting a chance to be a little "pampered" as you move along. I think that will help avoid the Virginia Blues!! God bless!!
I thought for sure Little Bear was going to say 'cake' was her highlight of the day because she said the word 'cake' so many times during this video ❤
You too are really crushing the miles!
We’re in a good groove! 😊
You two are soooo inspiring! Big miles but big smiles as well. You did look weary starting out but still produced a great video. LB your commentary is wonderful (so is yours MB!) and interesting and funny. You two are bringing happiness to thousands of followers every day. And so much love is flowing to you in return. Love and hugs to you both. ❤❤
Congratulations on 600 miles and a great night's sleep!
First one! Loving your through hiking videos! So detailed and full of joy! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!! 🥾🥾
Congratulations on mile 600! I really enjoy watching you two on your journey. I’m thinking of doing this next year, so I love all your insights, especially how you honor your bodies on not pushing to hard . Like after a long hiking day and a bad nights sleep. Plus you have such a beautiful relationship with your daughter ❤️
My son’s dad had sleep apnea and used to snore pretty loud. I know it is no fun for catching zzz’s. Glad you guys got some good sleep… so you can keep your momentum up… Enjoy your day
Congratulations on 600 miles!!!! & enjoy the platinum blazing too y'all have definitely earned a little extra comfort & pampering at the end of the trail each night! 🙂
Good outcome!
Perserverance is really a highlight for the day!
Definitely!
You're both so well focused for this experience. You're both doing so so well. I wasn't sure if you were going to eat all the food once you arrived at the hostel - maybe you were just soooo tired!... But then the recap said it all. 😂 There's nothing like a good nights sleep with no snoring to recharge for another 15+ miles...
I always have earplugs for snoring hikers and Vicks Vapor Rub to put in my nose for the smell. LOL.
Yes!! I ALWAYS have ear plugs in my purse, overnight bag, camping bin, .. You never know when you are going to need them. And they weigh vertually nothing.
You guys are crushing some miles! Way to go Bears!
You girls are rocking it!!!!!! 21, then 18 🙌. MB I’m so sorry about your fall, our feet do get weary on those long miles. Look at you today, you thought you would do less miles and you pushed through to 18. Weary Feet is a good name. So glad you got got food and a good night’s rest, God is certainly taking care of you. Can you imagine doing the AT without GPS like they did decades ago?! Seeing you navigate to the beginning of the trail I thought, how do they not get lost?!?! Happy trails!
Thank you! 🙏🏼
. . . 'up trail' going north . . . 'down trail', south bound 😊. . . trailon . . . woods are fab in summer.
Congratulations on 600!
Thank you! Love you!!! 💙
I swear “M” Little Bear is taller! Carry on , enjoying your videos🥰‼️❤️❤️😘
Congrats on 600 miles. Putting in big mile days. Hike on !
Another awesome video! Glad you recovered from the fall. It's amazing watching you two change so much from week one. I may be wrong, but it looked like you two were burnt out from being off trail. The closer you got to the woods, the happier you both got. I think you said something like, "We'll be fine when we get in the woods." I watch your expressions go from tired and sad to happy and energetic as the day progresses. The woods, nature, and the mountains, Gods creations, I think, are part of our God given nature, and it takes much time out in the woods to find it again. I suppose we lose it the longer we are apart from it. But, there's always cake and other things to draw us back into this world. You two are doing a great job! Great vlogging, Little Bear. May God continue to keep and bless you both.
Hooray 🎉for reaching 600 miles 🎉 So glad that you were able to get a good meal and restful sleep at the hostel! ❤
I can’t imagine adjusting to sleeping in a different spot every night!! I am sure the private room is worth every dime!!! Praying for safety and fun memories.
100% worth it! Every time!
Hurray for 600 miles!!
Now I know what that Blue blaze is for. Lol, a shortcut to W.F. Hostel.!!
I have day hiked through there several times. So it was fun to see the same sights. I love the suspension bridge and Dismall falls.
A 20 mile day followed by an 18, you two are crushing it!!
Happy Hiking!!😊
If my clothes get wet, I usually put them in a waterproof bag and sleep with them inside my sleeping bag. That way it’s not quite so unpleasant in the morning. X.
We did the exact same hostel hop!!! It was awesome!!! Burke’s Garden➡️Weary Feet➡️Woods Hole➡️Angel’s Rest!!!❤
I’ve noticed Little Bear has some sort of positive affirmations or uplifting thoughts on her screen. Could you share what app she is using? Thank you.
Good job over 600 miles, good video with some views, so let's keep on hiking 😊
600 miles is just awesome! You should be proud of that accomplishment. I know you’ve heard it already, but you are both such an inspiration to so many that follow your journey. Keep it up! You are doing an amazing job.
Thank you for your support! 🙏🏼
Congratulations on 600 miles. Ya are doing great. Glad you got some rest last night. Safe travels.
You guys are doing great and making good time. Enjoy views, and God bless you both!
Thanks so much!😊
Food/shower/bed are always great motivators. You’re picking up the miles great job ladies 😊
Congratulations on 600 miles. You've got this.
Congratulations on 600 miles! That’s awesome 🤩
Awesome that you’re pushing yourselves a little! Keep it up! Congrats!
It’s just a plain, bottom-level love of nature. I think that’s a primal instinct we all have, maybe I just have more of it. I’ve lived it, I know how much being in the wilderness can enrich my life. -RAY JARDINE, go-light backpacking advocate, 1948-
Congratulations 🎈 🎉🎉 on 600 miles !!!!
Spectacular views! Hope you bring out another calendar with some of your favorites. Its been fun watching your videos and makes me want to get out and walk the AT. Safe travels 🤩
👣💕 YOU PUT A LOT OF MILES IN THE LAST TWO DAYS
Congrats on 600 miles! You’ve definitely found your hiker legs and are killing the mileage now. 😎 It’s been such a great journey for all of us to go with you. ❤. Thank you for your faithful work to post these videos.
600! Y’all are knocking out those hundreds of miles. Congratulations. I didn’t realize that there were so many nice places to stay in the AT.
Thanks so much!! The hostels are great!
600 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 congratulations! Great hike, nice wilderness ❤
Thanks so much!!🙏🏼
600 miles! 🎉🥳💐
That's really difficult to get up and do all those miles after not much sleep! Way to go! You deserve some platinum blazing 😆
600 miles! 😀 You both rock!!❤❤
Wow some good behind you. And the game you two played My guess was the toaster LB, ours is silver😊 but you had the sink. This section of trail I've never seen anyone film where you seemed to be parallel with that road. Great views and,weather. Have fun🌲✌
Did you know that a toad is a frog, but a frog is not a toad? Just a little trailside trivia 😉♥️
Please tell
Us MORE
I’ve never been able to remember the DIFFERENCE

Congratulations on making 600 miles. I'm glad that you've had some good rest.. I know you'll love Wood's Hole. From what I've seen and heard, it's a beautiful place for healing and restoration. Stay safe girls! You're making great time!
600 miles and back to back big miles! You’ve definitely got your hiking legs. Hope the cake was delicious, LB was really excited about it. Take care and God Bless! ❤️
I was on the AT in my nearby woods and started seeing camouflaged toads. So interesting!
I love how I’m trying to “Guess the Object”, even though I’ve no idea what’s in your house 😂😂😂
NICE TRAILS. KNOWING THAT YOUR GOING TO GET GOOD FOOD AND CAKE, IS ECOURAGEMENT TO MOVE ALONG. GOOD NIGHTS REST.😊
Watching everyday. Love the videos. LB's videos are wonderful but her camera needs adjusting. They are blurry and movement is too fast to see But I love them anyhow
Uselly when I get that tired I put my mind in the good thoughts world may put my head down and push on
Y’all have some breath taking views coming up very shortly on your journey. Can’t wait to hear your excitement when you see them!!
Hike On and be safe!!
Happy dance for 600 miles bears!! You’re doing amazing!
Love watching your conversations with Little Bear ❤️ it's definitely a change from the usual hiking video to see a two way conversation in a vlog. I also love when you let the camera run and casually pick up other conversations and exchanges. Congratulations on 600 miles! 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! 🙏🏼
Motel or hotel for the win, IMO. I know there are some lovely hostels but unless I had a private room, for other reasons as well I would be in my tent or a hotel/motel. Happy trails.🤟🏻🥾🏔
Me too. No private room...no booking from me. I just can't put up with interrupted sleep.
Snoring is a bummer! 😢
@@jimmyjohnstone5878 not just the snoring I hate the thought of sleeping with people I don’t know. The snoring just makes it even worse 😂
@@susietopspin Yes, that's a major issue too. I spent a week in hospital recently in a four person room. It was grim. I needed the treatment time but hardly slept for the snorers, and hated only having a curtain for privacy.
Beautiful river view at the hostel! 😊 ❤
WOW ye have definitely found your hiker legs! So impressive 👏
Great job! 600!!! Keep on truckin!
Congratulations 600 miles! So happy for you girls!
Glad that you two were able to get a good night's sleep 😊😊
Us too!
I'm impressed you knocked off so many miles in spite of waking up sleep deprived. I guess it's true what LB said, y'all are motivated by food, especially when it's home cooking :-) Enjoyed her narrating part of the hike. MB, do you speed up the videos like people often do? It doesn't seem possible you could walk that fast for a sustained period of time. What a lovely hostel. So glad you had good food and a private room for restful sleep. I hope Elle enjoyed her stay also... just realized I didn't see her. ❤ Praying for you as you continue your trek.
Thanks so much. We’re definitely food motivated! 😂 I can’t remember if I sped up any of this video. Sometimes I do for content creation, but not most of the time.
Congratzzzzz on the 600 ☮♥ ~Siesta
Congratulations on 600 miles! Yay for platinum blazing too! What a treat! I just love watching yall and your journey each day! Praying for y’all and can’t wait to see what’s next!
Thank you so much!!😊
I meet Matador back on march 15 th at uncle johnnies hostel in erwin,tn. He was a very cool guy from tidewater area around Chesapeake in eastern Virginia.
Go pick up some rubber earplugs the next time you go for a resupply at a Wal-Mart.
FOAM earplugs! They are softer, you can mold then thin then they expand in your ear canal. They are sooo much more comfortable. Most drug stores and bigger stores like Walmart carry them. I get the highest decible ones (33)
💪✌️❤️
💯+💯+💯+💯+💯+ 💯=🎉
Congratulations on 600 🥳 Get a good rest tonight! 💕
Thank you!!😊
Congratulations on 600 miles! 😊 Great recovery after a fall and not much sleep!
Mama Bear, tell me more about your fall--how and where did it happen 😮? Did you trip over something or loose your balance? (I currently have some balance issues, but still want to walk for exercise.)
Thanks! I was going uphill and had to climb over a big, slippery blowdown (huge tree). When I had one leg over, I went to swing my other leg over. As I did this, my foot slipped and I fell backwards (downhill) onto my back.
Good morning, Bears. LB, you said your dog was food motivated. I think you and your mom are also. I know that last mile or so might hsve seemed slow, but ya'll were really moving. Beautiful trails and views. Ya'll are doing so well. You're making good miles, faster than you were. Congrats on 600 miles. Ya'll take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Thank you! 😊
Is it my imagination or is VA a softer, gentler walk than the previous walk in NC?
VA has some easier parts, but it’s definitely not easy. Some people will tell you it’s flat. Trust me, it is not! 😂
Thank you! It looks wildly difficult… all of it😬🥰🙏
Speaking of Anish yesterday. Lots of big miles on the AT and no hitches nor rides to resupply points; unsupported FKT. Her record for the AT? 54 days, 7 hours.
Waste of time!
@@dougw63 Are you nuts? She is a super hiker. Record setting.
Where can I follow her? I’d love to keep up with what she’s been doing. Phenomenal!!!
@@wildflowersadventures Just google ANISH HIKER. She is all over the place
My first night on trail I really thought there was a wild bore outside of my tent....turns out it was someone snoring. Lol
😂😂😂 I can imagine!
Snoring is one reason I can't use shared accommodation such as hostels or shelters.
Was there no private room or hotel type accommodation place available at that part of the trail ?
It’s all about the cake
Would using earplugs help in some cases ?
It's all about the food. ❤😂😂
Little Bears slip of the speech reminded me of a person with low blood sugar 😅
Snoring is one reason my hubby sleeps in another room if I fall asleep before him. 600 miles! Great!!! I like the guessing game you played! Glad you got homecooked food! Mama Bear, you gotta eat lots of calories. You look like you lost weight.
Thank you. Yes, I’ve lost about 10lbs and I’m doing everything I can to gain weight. It’s so hard to eat as much as you burn out here. Hopefully my body will level out my metabolism soon.
600 + 🍰 = 😊 🐻 🐻
Thanks! 😊
I thought your thumbnail for this video said "GOD". Yeah, that would be cool, too.
To God be the glory!! 🙏🏼💙 He’s the one that took us that far.
Just out of curiosity. How much is a private room at the "Weary Feet" Hostel?
I think it was $70.
Congratulations on 600miles!!! ❤🎉
