    Stick, as always, thank you for sharing your journey with us. We will continue to embrace the journey and have happy trails!
    God bless and keep you as you go to work with The Boy Scouts.
    I hope you keep us posted when you are off the AT.
    Maybe you could finish at Mount Katahdin Maine and then turn around and head to Springer Mountain Georgia. I wonder how many people have ever done that.
    Blessings

      The Barefoot Sisters did a "yo-yo" of the AT. They started in Maine first. And yes, they did it (mostly) barefoot. As of 2015, 7 people had reported yo-yo hikes to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. I don't know about the number since then.

    Kinda interesting that it was cold when you started the trail and its cold towards the end of the trail. Seeing that this is my first hiking season following hikers on a long trail Im not to familiar with the other long trails. Ive seen a few vlogs of the PCT and of course its beautiful. And it looks very different from the AT. But I think you should come to Wisconsin and do the Ice Age trail. It doesn't have huge mountains but it does have a lot of other beautiful geographies and its a thousand mile trail which wouldn't require 5 or 6 months of time off. Anyway I think its great whatever you decide to do. Ill be there to embrace the journey. I could do another long hike😂. I saw an interview that Captain Jack did and he said he was thinking about once he was done at Mt Katahdin he might turn around and go back to Georgia. I never heard if he decided to do that forsure of not yet.
    That area of the trail looked pretty nice. Thanks for spending the extra time on making sure we have videos. But also understand if you can't because of the service.
    Always remember to embrace the journey and happy trails❤

    Thank you again for all your hard work on your videos! Yours are the so detailed. I'm loving those close-ups that you've started putting in. Your videos are just a joy to watch! Are you off at your Boy Scout camp now? It sounds like Frizzle and Nichols will finish while you are working. As for your question about the PCT or 2-time AT, I think it depends on the type of terrain that you like. The PCT and CDT both have large sections of desert. I have hiked in desert before -- Big Bend National Park and Guadalupe National Park (I live in Texas). Short backpack trips there were fine, but I don't think I'd like to do a long hike in a desert. There is such a concern about water -- you often either have to depend on water caches or do heavy water carries. Also, the lush greenery of the East Coast is absent, except maybe in the Pacific Northwest part of the PCT (although even the hikes I've done there didn't seem as luxuriant). You do get some tall mountains with gorgeous views and have more varied terrain. But for me, I prefer the AT's greenness and abundance of water. So I'd go with 2-time AT.

    • @sticktheeagle
      @sticktheeagle  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I am now off trail. Water is life!! Definitely bonus points for the AT! Thanks for your thoughts! I do look forward to exploring those parks in western Texas. I was in Texas last year but did not make it that far west.

I'm no "spring chicken" and watching your videos is helping me decide if a thru hike is realistic for me to do or just hiking sections of it...thanks for sharing the past few months of your life with us viewers!

      Fires out west have prevented complete PCT thru hikes, though all recognized detours make it a complete hike. If you do PCT, I would suggest SOBO. Watch Feral. His PCT and final leg of triple crown was SOBO. I lived in the southwest for 30 years. Heat sucks everything out of you.

  • @semsem8290
    @semsem8290 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    For these last few hundred miles, you may want to think about ultra light hiking boots, 6 inch tops for your ankles. Maybe 8 inch. I have 8 inch Cabela hiking boots, very light but cushions well, great tread and thicker soles. Those little sneakers these last few hundred miles offer no real support really.

    • @sheraleeronan2326
      @sheraleeronan2326 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Agreed, if your feet are hurting that bad, maybe time to rethink your shoe brand or style ? If I recall some time back, there was a dude on the PCT who had similar issues. At one of the re-supply outlets, he got talking to the outfitters there. They suggested a different shoe, and sock to wear. Issue resolved almost overnight for the dude.

    • @sticktheeagle
      @sticktheeagle  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nice!! I will definitely be changing my sock… as that was worn out. But I still am weary about boots given that they did not work for me in Georgia

    Hey Stick, I have watched everyday. You seemed to have the best 2 days on a long time going through Smarts, Cube and Mist. No doldrum periods when you had to psyche yourself up. That's great -- what do you think it is?
