Your videos are my “Guilty Pleasure” on TH-cam. I cannot hike anymore due to a weird neurological disorder. I LOVE how fricken good you are! You’re mileage is crazy, and your organization is awesome. I look forward to your videos every day. Be safe and hike on. You are incredibly capable woman, a hiking machine, all while carrying a camera for us to follow along with you. Thank you!✨
Totally camped right next to the ranger station at the base of Old Rag. They shook our tents in the morning and told us beat it, but it's all good. There was no other option the night before
Enjoying following you along the trail. Great closeup video of the Pileated Woodpecker! And deer as well. Hope you get a resupply soon so you have enough food.
Once upon a time not too long ago, it was all an adventure. You never knew what to expect, where you were gonna camp. The experience was simply more organic. You could research ahead of time but good info was perishable. The connectedness of the world has greatly expanded the opportunity of making an AT hike to those who otherwise would have been on the fence regarding the chance aspect of it without being able to so easily plan.
Got to admire the ones who did it with no connections. Admirable to say the least, I had a friend that did it 25 years ago. He pulled off the Triple Crown. He is one amazing hiker who can still kill it.
I love the sped-up "packing" video from your tent. I find that some times it goes smoothly and other times I pack it all wrong and have to start over. Most of the time it's easy, but every once in a while, I just can't think straight! I love the wildlife on this one too.
Pileated Woodpecker 💕 ...a symbol of courage! Seems you needed that for the night - I'm sure it all worked out....guess it's trail challenges and you are up for the task
Great footage of the birds in the Shenandoah! Sorry Loft wasn’t open for you yet! We camp there every year! Love the quiet atmosphere there. We haven’t seen a bear there for many years. We saw more snakes than bears.
Hey Taylor l have been following your daily adventure on the A/T from the beginning. It takes a lot of planning, drive and courage to do what you do and I appreciate you taking us along your adventures. Many years ago I took a long solo motorcycle trip out west. Rode my bike up Pikes Peak, Aspen, Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Camped every night. Had challenges like you but a lifetime of great memories. Keep doing what you love, stay safe and I will be following along with your hike. Mike B
I'm currently in Shen-missed you by about a week-Weather is supposed to be similar to this video, but not raining yet-about to do my 2 day after the Marathon Day Hike-hopefully about 14 miles out and back-Love your site-good luck ahead! PS-about 40 minutes slower than your marathon-but a tougher course :)-Old guy marathoning-
Did a dayhike to Black Rock Summit the other day. Looks like where you were. Spent a week camping at Loft Mtn over Memorial Day weekend. Never did check out the Waysides. Safe hiking
We did the Shenandoah's last year, in July and the water was exactly the same way very little!! Hopefully you will meet up with some trail angels like we did!
The scariest part is being all alone if something happens. I’m glad you went back to be somewhat near the other hiker, even if you never saw them. Great video!
I enjoyed hiking through SNP on my 2019 thru-hike, but it was even cold in the summer with a lot of rain. The ridgerunner looked at me a little puzzled since I had shaved recently, and she said I was awful clean for a thru-hiker. I didnt see any bears in the park. Good luck on the rest of the trail!
I've run into many trails on the AT where the water was bone dry and just a trickle like you saw, I ended up buying a pump filter because its I've been stuck trying to fill a bladder or bottle up in a trickle of a stream
That's Loft Mountain Campground and Camp Store. I don't know why they weren't open that's weird. They have showers there and a great store. Just down the hill is the Wayside where you get the magical BlackBerry Ice Cream....
I couldn't find your video again about your watch.....could you please let me know the brand and how accurate you find it. Besides elevation and distance what other functions do you use ? Love your passion for the outdoors.
1:12 this is why I don't think I can ever thru-hike..I'm afraid of mice. I'm a grown ass man and mice simply gross me out. Bears, snakes, coyotes etc etc simply don't but mice (please ......)
It is ok. We all have something if we are honest. I am a veterinarian and my thing is snakes. The few times I could not refer a snake to another vet for treatment I had to physically grind my teeth the whole time I was doing it. I could not make myself look at anything else the entire time.
I don't know if this will be useful, but I hardly ever see a bear if I wildcamp. It's the campgrounds, shelters and well used stealth sites that the bears are attracted to. The further away from these the better.
Is a hilltop packs food bag good for the NH section of the AT? (Hiking form Shurburne pass to Grafton notch this summer.) just wondering what I should do for a lightweight waterproof/oder proof food bag solution
I mentioned on Gabby's channel (you met her a few weeks back) that mice don't like peppermint. I've had them in my desk drawer at work and warded them off with cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil. You might try it and see if they stay away. Put some cotton calls in your pack, tent, and quilt and see what happens. Thank you for the content.
Taylor. Can you please answer this question when u have time. If a campsite has big mice population- if you zip up your tent does that keep them out? I’ve been wondering that. If a tent offers protection from the mice. Love your channel. Been watching you since 2020. So inspired by you💚🥾💚
I think this is your most "real" video about how life on the AT can be when things aren't the best case scenario. Stay safe❤

Blue ridge mountains in Shenandoah national park are aaaaaaamazing.
Adapting to her surroundings. Keep going Taylor 👣🌻

Great video. You're a fabulous problem-solver - patient, rational, inventive. Walk on.
Good morning! Just camp by that closed store!!!
Pileated Woodpecker 💕 ...a symbol of courage! Seems you needed that for the night - I'm sure it all worked out....guess it's trail challenges and you are up for the task
That last shot of your tent really showed how windy it was, I hope the night went well.
you had a cardinal that visited you!!! That was a passed on loved one checking up on you and saying hello!!!!
Nice picture of the Woodpecker.
AWESOME VID KID!!!❤️👍🙏🏻🏔️🏕️
Great footage of the birds in the Shenandoah! Sorry Loft wasn’t open for you yet! We camp there every year! Love the quiet atmosphere there. We haven’t seen a bear there for many years. We saw more snakes than bears.
Cerulean Warbler when you were taping your blister. Nice bird. Beautiful vid of a Pileated Woodpecker on that tree.
I blue blazed this section. Trust me you made the right call 😊
Love all the wildlife you had in the video. You are doing great. You encourage me to push on in difficult circumstances.

You've got this ..44 is a good lucky number..it's mine too!
Your orange spirit animal keeps watch over you! Lots of bears in that area! Be well!
Thanks for sharing today. Stay safe and Happy Hiking ⛺️🥾💞
Taylor you are awesome, keep pushing!
The woodpecker was beautiful. Shenandoah has some nice views. Safe travels.

Love your videos...especially loved the wildlife in this one. I can't believe all the deer! I'm the one who never sees them 😂
Awesome thanks for sharing
All campstores and waysides are now open 😀 🥾🥾
Great shot of the woodpecker! 👣 Happy trails.
Awesome
Wow Taylor you should be proud. You don’t see many deer in the start of the velvet. 👍👍👍
Pileated woodpecker! Those guys are huge. 5:09
Wow..great photos. One tough woman..wind is ridiculous. Stay safe.

44! That is a lucky number.
Nice wildlife vids. Thanks!
Logs might puncture the tent. Some people use fleece to tuck under the sleping pad, or other soft gear.
The scariest part is being all alone if something happens. I’m glad you went back to be somewhat near the other hiker, even if you never saw them. Great video!
Good video 😂with lots of good views, lots of deers a bad rocky climb 😮 so let's keep on hiking 😊

Nice wildlife shots! I hope the weather improves for you.
We start out our morning watching your YT videos and you have inspired our two teenage girls to HIKE! ❤
I white and yellow blazed and bicycle blazed SNP hehe
Keep up that mental toughness!!! You've got this.
Good catch on all the wildlife. Seems like as soon as you get a camera out they leave. Especially birds 👍🥾🙏
Wow windy! Hope you resupply soon!
Another great vlog. Enjoy your strategy of your daily hiking plans. You're such an inspiration & a natural presenter of your AT journey. Keep it up!
I've run into many trails on the AT where the water was bone dry and just a trickle like you saw, I ended up buying a pump filter because its I've been stuck trying to fill a bladder or bottle up in a trickle of a stream
Nice shots of the woodpecker and cardinal! Great work adapting to the variables Taylor. 💪 Hope you get some good food at the wayside. ✌️
We are with you & following your hike.
Doing good. Thanks
I love hearing your thought process. Be safe 😊
luv blackrock!!
That's Loft Mountain Campground and Camp Store. I don't know why they weren't open that's weird. They have showers there and a great store. Just down the hill is the Wayside where you get the magical BlackBerry Ice Cream....
🦋
I guess you're through SNP by now. I hope you ate a burger and shake at Spelunkers in Front Royal!
The campgrounds in SNP opened on May 5th. That should mean that the camp stores opened on May 5th too.
I couldn't find your video again about your watch.....could you please let me know the brand and how accurate you find it. Besides elevation and distance what other functions do you use ? Love your passion for the outdoors.
Her gear list is on this you tube channel.

Do you want to do any other long trails like the PCT or CDT?
I mentioned on Gabby's channel (you met her a few weeks back) that mice don't like peppermint. I've had them in my desk drawer at work and warded them off with cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil. You might try it and see if they stay away. Put some cotton calls in your pack, tent, and quilt and see what happens.
Thank you for the content.
If you're ever in need of rescue, take a potty break and you'll be saved in no time.
How do you possibly keep anything dry when you have to pack up that wet tent and carry it with all your gear?
Taylor. Can you please answer this question when u have time. If a campsite has big mice population- if you zip up your tent does that keep them out? I’ve been wondering that. If a tent offers protection from the mice.
Love your channel. Been watching you since 2020. So inspired by you💚🥾💚
Only if they choose not to chew through it. Generally they won’t unless you’ve taken food inside with you.
What is it with these places not open yet with all the hikers out there? You will be ok. With your experience listen to others but trust yourself.
2:17 OMG ..SO FUNNY ...
Saw your h2o rationing comment... how much water are you carrying?
Morning
Woodpecker!
Sorry George 😊
yeah ...I'm late today..lol ..Great move Brad
❤44❤
🚶♀️👍🏻🙂
No stealth camping or you’re grounded
I'm at a hotel right now
The pictures of her fiance in the speedo!
Do you blow your pad up with your mouth?
Your poor mother must almost have a heart attack when she watches your videos.
