Hey y'all! Heads up! We're posting an extra episode this weekend from the Bob Marshall Wilderness! So be looking for that (or if you click the bell you won't have to look!). Thank y'all SO much for watching :)
Hi Dixie thx for this video. It made me homesick. I spent a lot of time in Lincoln & The Bob. Lincoln home of the Unibomber. Glacier is my all time favorite. Ur going to love it. Ur almost there, I'll be so sad to see Ur trip end...wayne
Montana stole my heart in 1970. I was born near St. Louis, moved to Montana on to a working cattle ranch, when I was 21. It’s been a love affair ever since. My family couldn’t understand the hold Montana had on me, till they came to visit. I’m glad you got to see her beauty. Thanks for the great videos Dixie! Thanks for sharing Montana! ❤️
Three years later, and this randomly popped up in my feed. Our squirrels in the Rockies are not your Alabama porkies. And I need to make it to the Scapegoat Wilderness in ‘ 22. Thank you so much for your CDT story.
I have been a fan since the beginning of your triple crown. It is certainly a great honor and a true pleasure to watch you get to the "Bob" and near the border. Thank you so much to you and your supporting crew for sharing your great adventure. I don't have the words. Thank you thank you. 😎👣🐾👣🦉💚
You inspired me to do a little hiking this past weekend. Went out to Mt. Cheaha and hiked a couple trails and enjoyed the view. It was so nice to get out and enjoy the cooler temps and see the incredible views from Pulpit Rock and Bald Rock.
Just hearing you say you only had 100 miles left after the Bob Marshall area made me tear up because your videos always make me cry when you reach the end!! Congratulations on your finish a couple weeks ago! Can't wait to go back and watch all these through again.
I too love Montana. Even though I , like you, live in Alabama I have spent much time in Montana over the past 15 years or so. Thanks again for sharing your trek with all of us back home!
Your treks have taken videography to a higher level. Thanks for sharing your adventure with the world; we've all seen a bit more of nature's magnificence because of you... thanks again, and keep on trekking.
Hey, thanks for showing my state off to all your viewers. I can't wait for video of The Bob. Camping in The Bob for 2 weeks, made me decide to stay and live in Montana. Great video Dixie. On a side note, I was surprised to see that yurt all locked up......shelter in Montana should never be locked up. But breaking glass to shelter from our wild weather is ok.
Is too early to send you and Perk a hale and hearty congrats on your Triple Crown achievement? No, I don't think so so CONGRATULATIONS!! That's such an amazing, awesome, and thoroughly inspiring achievement!! And as others have already said, Montana looks absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for capturing and sharing your travels so the rest of us can enjoy the splendor, YOU ROCK!!
I am excited for you and Perk to finish your triple crown but sad for us. I feel like were reaching the end of an amazing saga... Can you start over and do another triple crown for us please? lol
You are so AMAZING. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to do these videos. I feel so inspired by your journey with thru hiking. I recently watched your videos and have been telling all my friends and family about them. You rock Dixie! Safe travels! :)
Definitely some great landscape views in that area, but this is a time of the year that will definitely test your will (welcome to Canada!). That said, remember: don't quit on a bad day. We've been following you for so long we'd all be bummed out if you had to quit before the end. Then again, we're all going to be a bit sad when you're finished. Keep it up with the incredibly inspirational videos, you have inspired me to get my butt back on the trail after 4 years of flatlanding on my bicycle.
Montana is at the top of my list of states to visit! I always look forward to your videos every week Dixie. Ive loved watching you grow over the years! ❤️
Hi Dixie, Love your videos. Brings back memories of hiking the AT in the White Mountains with the YMCA Camp Norwich Wilderness Unit. That looks like a Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel according to the Montana Field Guide which you can find on line.
Now that you have almost completed your amazing Triple crown adventure ! Time to start planning next years adventure. The North Country Trail. Love your videos thanks for sharing.
Some more great scenery and man do you know how to capture it. Plus the little artsy shots of lines in wood and other stuff. Thank you!:-) Stay dry and safe from critters.
A friend of mine fell in love with Montana too, and she MOVED there. She is a singer-songwriter named Daphne Denniston Worrall. Who knows, you may run into her if you find any local music.
what are we going too do on wednesday when you finish.?. it has been a pleasure watching you and perk on all three trails you are amazing. followed you since the A.T.
Love your well thought out, yet spontaneous videos, Dixie. We can feel your heart and passion, humanity and humility..I know I will certainly miss them Dixie. When you get back to Alabama, please take us on some of those local section hikes ok? Greetings from central California!!
Montana definitely stole my heart too when I was there this summer. I hiked through some parts of Glacier as well and let me tell you, that is truly Gods country. I can't wait to see what your thoughts on it are.
How amazing is that! I can't believe that hiking in the wilderness can be sooo relaxing and exciting at the same time. I decided to film some footage aswell from Germany, Alps. It's soo similar, yet different. The landscape, the mountains, crystal-clear lakes...
Really enjoyed this video (well I LOVE all of them!) but this seemed a little more like the older videos with shots of Perk, making meals, laughing, in-tent shots, restaurant shits, scenery...a little of everything.
Hey Dixie , thank you so much for inspiring me to thru hike the AT in March 2019. I'm from Northern Ireland and the AT is largely unknown here. Researching gear now and your advice has been so helpful. 😊
Been watching your videos since the begining of the AT you are one tuff young lady most people do not have that kind of drive. I guess I will have to go back to the begining and start over now until maybe you come with another good trail to hike.
Wonderful video Dixie,,,Good choice on new rain jacket color,multi purpose for safety...Gloves are definitely a huge plus.....scenery does look awesome....hard to believe it's coming to ,,the SOBO ,, beginning.......there will be no end for Dixie !!.....Amazing young lady,,,,it's been fun......Stay Safe and God Bless.....
I have lived in numerous places in MT., and yes, it is gorgeous. My favorite town is Whitefish, but I have never lived there. Just stopped on a train going through. Would love to go back and stay awhile. I lived in the Flathead Lake area, which is also quite amazing. The eastern part of the state though, isn’t my favorite, but talk about wide open spaces! Must be where big sky country came from. Not sure when this was posted, but is it possible you are done? Is there a monument like on the PCT for end of trail pics?
Squirrels are my favorite critters, did you find out if that little dude at @7:58 was a type of squirrel or something else? He's the most adorable thing and I need to know! lol
I did a little bit of research and I think it may be a Golden Mantled Ground Squirrel. I'm not 100% sure though, so if anyone does know, I'd be interested!
I never hiked Montana, but I drove it enough to know how beautiful it is. As of today Oct. 17 most of Glacier National Park is closed until Spring under 2+ feet of snow. Most of the Canadian Arctic villages are iced in until next summer, a full month ahead of schedule. Supplies for Winter are being flown in. Welcome to the Grand Solar Minimum and crazy weather.
You are gonna love glacier. I was just there earlier this year. Also there is a deli at the general store in two medicine if you go by there, but it closes after 3 o’clock I believe so make sure you get there early. There is also ice cream there.
Hey Dixie, Canada might be coming but what I'm worried about is what am i gonna do without your vlogs. I hope you keep posting and let us know whats next on your list. I have really enjoyed ALL your volgs. Very professional. You are the best. Greetings from Northern Ireland x
I'm really interested in doing the whole Montana/ Idaho stretch as a section hike. I can't find a lot of information. How would someone go about doing that?
Cool tree stump @ 3:30. Do you know what kind of tree it is ? Is there any way that we can figure out the date on the videos because I know they are delayed in posting ? Just wondering what month/day it is so I can have an idea of the weather at a given date. Also, did I miss it that Aaron is no longer on the trail ? I haven't seen anything about when and where he got off (thought he was having leg problems but thought he was only resting for a few days). Does any one know which video tells us ? Thanks. Almost done wahooo think I can see Canada already !!
I think that is still a living tree (stump only). I thought it was beautiful too. In National Forests and National Parks/Monuments it is illegal to remove anything from Nature, including rocks, flowers, pinecones, or driftwood.
Ground squirrels are common there. Not tons of trees there. They burrow more like chipmunks or rabbits. Which suits the more extreme weather there too. They do look like a hybrid of a squirrel and a chipmunk which are pretty much cousins of sorts. The tree squirrels have the big tail which helps them balance their body as they climb. The big tail doesn't suit a ground squirrel. But it's interesting to see similar markings of a chipmunk on a squirrel. They are so cute, but are basically cute rats. Lol. But I like the name Chirrel. Sounds like churl.....so does that make them churlish? Haha. Enjoying your adventures. Montana is stunning. Thanks for posting.
Damn after the Triple Crown what’s next? Alaska? Hawaii? Grand Canyon? Smokey Mountains? Grand Teton? Glacier National Park? Still some great places for some backpacking hikes. 👍
Outstanding video Dixie, can't wait to see when you cross over into Canada 🇨🇦, until then, Happy Trails, be safe and God bless you and Perk an your Families always. 👼🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦👼🏻👼🏻
Dixie how are you liking your Lone Peak 4's? I have to say I am a new convert, but I had to shoe glue the rubber toe guard after two hikes. I guess that's pretty common. Anyways, I always enjoy your content, so hike on!
Hi Jessy. I was wondering how you do sleep on the small size matress. I was checking it and it must be only supporting your upper body. Are you able to sleep with your legs in the cold without insulation?
Hey y'all! Heads up! We're posting an extra episode this weekend from the Bob Marshall Wilderness! So be looking for that (or if you click the bell you won't have to look!). Thank y'all SO much for watching :)
Homemade Wanderlust can’t wait!
Awesome! Thanks Dixie!
Homemade Wanderlust could you update us on Aaron?
Homemade Wanderlust Hurray!!!

Perk needs to evolve is trail name to "Perkulele". Thanks for sharing your journey!
No, to klose to finnish "perkele", witch means devil.
He showed devil horn sign!
Golden-mantled ground squirrel

Yet another stunning installment Miss Dixie! I can't imagine what wednesdays are going to be like once you finish. Thanks so much for sharing!
So beautiful. Some day I hope to hike some of the national trails. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I love the close up plant pics with the rain droplets ... gorgeous 🌼 thanks Dixie 🌿💗 🌸
So cool! I've enjoyed your hikes so much. Can't do it myself but I've been there vicariously with you and Perk. Thanks for sharing
Your treks have taken videography to a higher level. Thanks for sharing your adventure with the world; we've all seen a bit more of nature's magnificence because of you... thanks again, and keep on trekking.
Montana does that! Sneaks in and BAM your hooked!

I've always wanted to go to Montana!! Thank you for giving us some beautiful footage!!
@@joedirte4485 I can't wait until I can go. I want to do the CDT but it will have to wait until the kiddos are all graduated lol
Chelsea Paul me too! It’s beautiful!
@@joedirte4485 I've got 13 years to plan! Lol
@@joedirte4485 they do but that's when they'll be graduated and out the door and mom gets to do what she wants lol
I am excited for you and Perk to finish your triple crown but sad for us. I feel like were reaching the end of an amazing saga... Can you start over and do another triple crown for us please? lol
Wow, Beautiful! Thanks for bringing us along Dixie!
Told you a few vids ago it only got better from the Montana border. Glad you enjoy it and were able to share it with your viewers
You are such an inspiration. You're vlogs are great and so much good content in your channel. Keep it up!
Thank you for sharing! Montana definitely has a piece of my heart.❤️
You can also use your umbrella as part of your tent / shelter system as an improvised door or vestibule, especially if you use a tarp.
You are so AMAZING. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to do these videos. I feel so inspired by your journey with thru hiking. I recently watched your videos and have been telling all my friends and family about them. You rock Dixie! Safe travels! :)
From 10 000 miles away, love the scenery, and very much impressed with your guts and determination. Good luck on the home stretch.
Love your videos Dixie!! Can’t believe how close you are!
You bring so much joy to someone you never met but thank you for showing your life full of happiness
Definitely some great landscape views in that area, but this is a time of the year that will definitely test your will (welcome to Canada!). That said, remember: don't quit on a bad day.

“Which way does the CDT go??” Hahah loved that part. And I’m So glad perk is back in the vlogs!
Hi Dixie, Love your videos. Brings back memories of hiking the AT in the White Mountains with the YMCA Camp Norwich Wilderness Unit. That looks like a Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel according to the Montana Field Guide which you can find on line.
In this episode: Perk has apple juice; Dixie drinks coffee; And George Washington leads the way!
I watched the Video of you and Sister of "The Way" ..In times like this of Sheltering in place I want to thank you for making the videos.
Now that you have almost completed your amazing Triple crown adventure ! Time to start planning next years adventure. The North Country Trail. Love your videos thanks for sharing.
Just wondering what happened to Aaron after Yellowstone?
Some more great scenery and man do you know how to capture it. Plus the little artsy shots of lines in wood and other stuff.
Thank you!:-)
Stay dry and safe from critters.
A friend of mine fell in love with Montana too, and she MOVED there. She is a singer-songwriter named Daphne Denniston Worrall. Who knows, you may run into her if you find any local music.
Golden mantled ground squirrel
That's what I thought, but it is a weird color.
what are we going too do on wednesday when you finish.?. it has been a pleasure watching you and perk on all three trails you are amazing. followed you since the A.T.
Packit Gourmet......that stuff is gold when I go camping! I always do the Texas State Fair chili my first night...sort of a newer tradition.
Love your well thought out, yet spontaneous videos, Dixie. We can feel your heart and passion, humanity and humility..I know I will certainly miss them Dixie. When you get back to Alabama, please take us on some of those local section hikes ok? Greetings from central California!!
Montana definitely stole my heart too when I was there this summer. I hiked through some parts of Glacier as well and let me tell you, that is truly Gods country. I can't wait to see what your thoughts on it are.
Getting spooked by a grouse is my signature trail thing.
OMGoodness you seem to be doing better and better the closer to Canada you are. Amazing! Thanks for the videos.
Absolutely beautiful and so is Montana!
How amazing is that! I can't believe that hiking in the wilderness can be sooo relaxing and exciting at the same time. I decided to film some footage aswell from Germany, Alps. It's soo similar, yet different. The landscape, the mountains, crystal-clear lakes...

Awesome video. I am planning a extended stretch hike of part of the AT. I am so excited.

Montana in the most gorgeous state in the upper 48!
Lincoln Mt! One of my favorite places! So cool their!! Live in Idaho, work in ND! Travel through there often! So cool!
I hate to see it come to an end! Thank you for sharing
Carry Bear Spray, Kalispell Montana. The beautiful big sky.
Wonderful video Dixie,,,Good choice on new rain jacket color,multi purpose for safety...Gloves are definitely a huge plus.....scenery does look awesome....hard to believe it's coming to ,,the SOBO ,, beginning.......there will be no end for Dixie !!.....Amazing young lady,,,,it's been fun......Stay Safe and God Bless.....

Your my favorite trail hiker of all time
What is the bird at 4:30? My best guess is a white-tailed ptarmigan during the fall mount.
Wow!! Some great views! I can see why Montana is stealing your heart!! Awesome pics!
Look forward to your adventures every Wednesday!!! Thanks for sharing.
Squirrels are my favorite critters, did you find out if that little dude at @7:58 was a type of squirrel or something else? He's the most adorable thing and I need to know! lol

MOUNTAINS HAVE STOLEN OUR HEART. GREETINGS FROM MADRID. GOOD JOB
Grew up in Western Montana and moved into "real America" when I was 15. Definitely has a hold on my heart as well 🏞️
Hey Dixie, Canada might be coming but what I'm worried about is what am i gonna do without your vlogs. I hope you keep posting and let us know whats next on your list. I have really enjoyed ALL your volgs. Very professional. You are the best. Greetings from Northern Ireland x

Montana and south dakota are my two favorite places!
Brrr! That wind looks chilly. Perk is lucky to have that thick beard to keep his face warm.
Wanting to go to Montana for a few years but everything has been against it. Praying for a chance for the experience!
You are doing great! Winter has come early. Glad you are almost done.
That’s a ground squirrel! They’re slightly bigger than chipmunks and do not have stripes on their cheeks! 🐿
You should be at a million subscribers. Because you are amazing and very smart. Love you videos.
Love it! I work with wood and that stump drift wood in the beginning I would kill for lol. Awesome as always 😉👍✌🇺🇸🌞🌻🌾
I think that is still a living tree (stump only). I thought it was beautiful too. In National Forests and National Parks/Monuments it is illegal to remove anything from Nature, including rocks, flowers, pinecones, or driftwood.
Another WOW. Perk's the man!
Another Fantastic Vlog Miss Dixie!!Where is Aaron? Happy you will be finished soon BUT will MISS my Wed Dixie trail fix.

Soooo loving this trip...gonna be sad for us viewers too when it's over :(
Ah, the suspense! Beautiful video! Aaron lurks in the shadows. 😋
Loving your adventures and I am hoping to do my first next year! PS @Homemade Wanderlust & perk it is a Golden Ground Squirrel.
Damn after the Triple Crown what’s next? Alaska? Hawaii? Grand Canyon? Smokey Mountains? Grand Teton? Glacier National Park? Still some great places for some backpacking hikes. 👍
woohoo Dixie coming our way
Don't lie Dixie. We all know you bought that bright orange rain jacket to show your love of TN orange! Good ol' rocky top
My home state. MIss it. GIve it a hug for me!
What are we gonna do without you 😢😢😢
You haven't seen all Idaho has to offer. Hike the centennial trail. Keep up the great work Dixie, best out there!
What an inspiration you are!!
Outstanding video Dixie, can't wait to see when you cross over into Canada 🇨🇦, until then, Happy Trails, be safe and God bless you and Perk an your Families always. 👼🏻🇺🇸🇨🇦👼🏻👼🏻
Excellent video as usual. Hate to see the end near.
Dixie how are you liking your Lone Peak 4's? I have to say I am a new convert, but I had to shoe glue the rubber toe guard after two hikes. I guess that's pretty common. Anyways, I always enjoy your content, so hike on!
Your so much fun to follow
You haven’t talked about Aaron in a while. Was he still with you?
Hi Jessy. I was wondering how you do sleep on the small size matress. I was checking it and it must be only supporting your upper body. Are you able to sleep with your legs in the cold without insulation?
