    I came across your vlog while following a handful of 2023 thru hikers. At first I thought I saw a notification for your first thru-hike, when I realized that you were back at it, thru hiking AGAIN this year I immediately subscribed. LOVE YOUR VLOGS! Thank you for sharing and the very best of luck to you. I will follow you in spirit all the way. YES, NAHAMSHA!!

    About a mile after Springer Mountain is a crossing point full of vehicles and the Ranger. For some reason many hikers start there. At My Katadin the start point seems to be the commercial campground about ten miles after the Rangers. One hiker even left the shuttle in the town before Katadin and walked along the roads to the campsite. Skippers.

    Hello Taylor -- Sending all best wishes for this your SECOND AT trek. Good for you. Although I've never hiked the AT, I have bicycled cross-USA (first time in 1993, second time 1999) ... loved every minute of it ... both times. And I'm sure you'll be loving every minute of this, your second time around. Looking forward to following your posts ... again! So here's to a safe and fun-filled adventure. Be well ... and please know you have loads of people praying for your safety and looking forward to your daily reports. Cheers and hugs from Jan and Al Galletly (Ridgefield, CT).

    Congratulations on another start! I actually don't mind the "boring looking" trails. There are lots of little details in the forest to notice. And, if there is some wind, you have the sound of creaking trees. Love that! All the best on this walk in the woods!

    The algorithm just threw this at me and I’m so glad! I’d been following you along your whole thru hike in 2021. I had read a book about the trail back in 2017 and thought it would be a cool thing to hike it, but only when I watched your journey I was sure I was gonna do it. Since then I’ve been planning and I’m finally going to hike it next year. Thank you so much for inspiring me and happy trails again!!♥️

  • @jessokanyapatel6338

    Excited for you, Taylor! My wife and I found you early on in your last through-hike and amongst all of the many vloggers, have found your videos to be the most enjoyable, educational and real. We plan to do our inaugural hike in 2025 together. Wishing you the best from NE Ohio and nothing but good vibes for your knee!

    LFG!!!! Never gets old watching someone start their journey! I may start rewatching 2021 day for day just for fun! Huge thanks to Chet for being so amazing and supportive. The snow has been so great up in NH, maybe there will still be some when you get up here! Thanks for the tour of Hawk mtn tent sites. Seemed like a great spot. 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well.

    Just watched your video about knee pain. Voltaren (diclofenac) is a topical gel that helps my arthritic knees. Comes in small travel size tubes. Just a thought in case the knee issue flares up. It might be an alternative instead of taking oral meds. Cheering you on and have great confidence you'll be in Maine before you know it!!

    Hi Taylor, I just started watching your hike on the AT. I had always wanted to do that. I'm 68 years old and I've had several heart surgeries and cancer so I doubt I'll be able to make the trek. My brother lives in Tennessee and we drove to a stretch of the AT and we walked about 100 yards. Not much to be sure but I was on the trail! I watched the first two days of your hike and I will watch more, I'm kind of hiking it via you. Thanks! Keep hiking!!

    My son and I camped at the Hawk Mountain campground last month on a section hike. We were the only two people there. It's always awesome but strangely eerie being the only people in a place designed for lots of people. The next day we found out that the Hawk Mountain shelter and tent areas surrounding were completely packed, so I'm glad we chose the campground.

    So excited to watch you again!! I found you when I was researching my Virginia section hike of 2022 ....you were about 3/4 finished when I started watching. So I would watch a new post, then go back and catch up with a few older posts. You helped me plan my trip 😀. This time around, I appreciate all of the extra information you are giving us....great job and good luck.
    One day I hope to thru hike the entire AT, and I will definitely be better off by watching your journey.
