Looking forward to following along until you reach Fontana.... then I know what happens from there.... haha!
Hey guy, Just found you on JBENHIKES video at your finish. Glad to find out your doing the BMT, We just got back from hiking the Mountain to the Sea thru the Smokies. Well some of it as the Clingmans Dome road is closed. Looking forward to your hike. Thanks for sharing. I don't know why TH-cam did not notify me.
The MST Segment 1 is beautiful!
@@LeonidasontheTrail When are you gonna release the next video. Can't wait, Lol
@@terrypaschal348 tomorrow at noon!
There are some beautiful vistas up there...a fantastic hike for sure...thanks for sharing and keep on trekking...
Thanks for watching!
Good times indeed! I hope you got all of the trip's snafus out of the way on day 1👍Those were some beautiful views!
Great Trail! I hope to actually do the whole thing one day...., That Approach trail, is a killer, I remember doing those stairs in the pouring down rain ... death lol .. .. Leonidas lost his buff ... on the first day. Leonidas should have had a big breakfast lol
Man oh man do I miss the trail .. hicking in general. Good Times my friend. Thanks for the video, really beautiful views, enjoyed it.
eating combo's! yumm lol
The combos got old really fast, then hiker hunger kicked in and I ate them all faster than planned!
@@LeonidasontheTrail lol i would have probably done the same.. hopefully the rest of the trail you tired yourself out more so you aren’t awake at like midnight.
Hey man. Good to see you finally putting this trip up. I've been waiting for a while. I can't wait to see you going through the blow down valley you told me about when I saw you at Bob's bald. I think I might do this trip this spring.
Should be nice in the spring! Hopefully, all the trees will be cleaned up and you will have smooth sailing.
Thanks for this! Am planning a BMT thru from Amicalola in early April. PS: What are combos?
Its like a cracker filled with peanut butter or in the case of the trip, a pizza flavoring.
What will be your plan hiking on the BKT, a loop and back to Springer? Beautiful views, thanks for taking us. Look forward to the next video. Utah Steve.
I went NOBO ending at Baxter Creek.
We’re you carrying a carbon bear can on that trail?
Yes, I always carry a bear canister these days as it simplifies food storage for me. No worries about finding a tree. It makes a decent seat as well and I use it as a table if I have a good place to sit on the ground.
What kind of pack are you using on this trip? Happy Hiking!
Using a Zpacks Arc Blast.
@@LeonidasontheTrail I have the Arc Haul and would like to downsize. How do you like the Arc Blast?
@@cottontalesfromthetrail5474 I have actually been considering changing packs. If I weren’t using a bear canister, I would definitely use the blast or even the new smaller framed arc pack they just released. I found on this hike that a 15-ish pound bear can on top of the pack can actually cause back pain. I am going to give the pack one more go with packing the can internally and decide if I will switch or not.
@@LeonidasontheTrail I have been looking at the Lite AF Curved 40 framed pack.
@@cottontalesfromthetrail5474 I have heard good things about their packs, I have to have back ventilation though.
