I started watching on Day 1, I am now on Day 12. I wish I could hike the AT but I'm near 60 now, so I'm probably too old. Thank you for sharing, so moving and inspirational. Take care, Happy Hiking to you and your husband
Great video! best sound quality I've heard on a thru hiker video. So happy there's no music, just nature and vlogging! Best wishes for an awesome journey!
I just watched a video the other day where another thru hiker camped at that cemetery. She got scared when a truck showed up that night. Turned out it was a bunch of army rangers doing some training.
Just subscribed to your channel. Great first video, thanks for taking us to the cemetery, I've seen the sign a hundred times but never seen it. Happy hiking. ✌️ Pepe
That shelter at the cemetery rescued my butt from a 2 hour Armageddon thunderstorm,lol!!! Great opening vid 5*, PLEASE take a zero within your first 4 days darlin, have a safe and joyous journey!!!❤
Jenny- you guys have such cute humor. Also, your sound quality is superb and makes the watching experience very enjoyable. Best wishes on your hike! P.S. Super good idea about slack packing some of the beginning. I've never thought about doing it that way. It seems like a solid plan to get a few more miles w/o feeling the overuse on ur knees/ankles. Thanks for sharing the tip.
Hi Jenny, been waiting for this, and pleased to see you so upbeat. But that might be Brian I think. Brian's a funny guy. We like Brian....take him with you (emotional blackmail and tears are effective and you can always wait for him to catch up). One more thing, Happy Belated Birthday Wishes.
Great looking first day weather wise. HaHa on the question about age, I'm thinking that fits into the same category as the question "does this dress make me look fat?" Nope, not going there. 😀
Hi Jenny! So happy you finally made it. Bes t wishes, have fun and be safe. I'm glad you went to see the cemetery, everyone just walks by the sign but never hikes down to see it.
Can't wait to follow you on your AT journey! I began following your channel a couple years ago when you hiked The Vermont Long Trail. Love the necklace! Happy Birthday!
Happy belated Birthday! Love the Jenny spin on trail life transition. Couple extra miles, slack pack...what looked like a welcome Cajun spin to end your first day. Well done
Just started following you. Very cool you are from NH. I was a backcountry caretaker in the Whites in 2022 and the ridgerunner in the Smokies last year. This year I will be the caretaker at the Blackburn Trail Center in Northern VA. Hope to meet you there. Is that a Long Trail necklace?
Happy birthday! 🎉🎈🎂 Perfect way to stsrt the trail. I plan on slacking packing and staying in hostels the first couple weeks when I start in 2025. I am also hoping my husband comes down the first week. Die you guys fly or drive from up north? My husband just doesn't like the idea of driving back to NH alone.
Wednesday, March 13th: Touching first blaze and writing in first log = tradition. You got this! Happy Birthday! Waterfalls is neat! Cemetery has bathrooms! Cajun birthday dinner. Congratulations! Good luck! Happy Trails! Ross08
For day one I used a GoPro Hero 9, media mod, and DJI wireless microphones. I sent the mics home because the battery didn’t last the full day and the cord kept coming out of the receiver. But I think I’m going to get them back. I didn’t realize what a big difference they made.
I started with a GoPro Hero 9, edited videos with VN video editor. A couple months after this video, I swapped to a DJI Osmo Action 4 camera because the screen on my GoPro died.
@ yes, I prefer the DJI camera as it’s less buggy. I use a lightning to USB camera adapter, with a micro SD card reader. I take the card out of the camera and plug it into the card reader, and transfer the files using the files app on the iPhone.
Your boyfriend has a fine moustache and also makes Planes, Trains and Automobiles references. A true gentleman and scholar. Nice try but I'm not guessing your age - that's a trap!

Yay for day 1! We’re cheering you on! I hope Little Bear and I get to meet you. You’ll probably be quite a bit ahead of us though. Happy trails! 💙
Hope you’re healed mamma bear
I loved Brian’s quotes from ‘Trains, Planes and Automobiles’. Ha ha
Happy belated birthday! Just found your channel. That waterfall was beautiful.
I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you for sharing , so beautiful

Great video! best sound quality I've heard on a thru hiker video. So happy there's no music, just nature and vlogging! Best wishes for an awesome journey!
Fellow New-englander (VT) checking in and letting you know you are supported! Good luck and can't wait to see your hike.
I’m a former Vermonter! I found this channel researching the Long Trail for future plans, and then learned about the New England Trail here as well.
I just watched a video the other day where another thru hiker camped at that cemetery. She got scared when a truck showed up that night. Turned out it was a bunch of army rangers doing some training.
Lol, I wish Brian was going with you, he's hilarious!
Me too. We will see him again!

Any hiker that’s been preparing for this in NH is going to crush it! Best of luck!
Happy Birthday! I’d say 25.

Lovely episode my friend, you had perfect weather as well! Happy trails 🥾
Happy birthday! Have a fun, safe journey!

So glad you finally set foot on the trail after your long anticipated wait!
Hi Jenny! So happy you finally made it. Bes t wishes, have fun and be safe. I'm glad you went to see the cemetery, everyone just walks by the sign but never hikes down to see it.
Lol i just saw a video yesterday of another hiker who had to camp there woke up in the middle of the night to a truck of army rangers camping near by

It's all about to begin!

Great thumbnail!

Your filming is awesome. Great audio and so clear! What do you use to film?
For day one I used a GoPro Hero 9, media mod, and DJI wireless microphones. I sent the mics home because the battery didn’t last the full day and the cord kept coming out of the receiver. But I think I’m going to get them back. I didn’t realize what a big difference they made.
What camera and software to upload your videos. Happy trails.
I started with a GoPro Hero 9, edited videos with VN video editor. A couple months after this video, I swapped to a DJI Osmo Action 4 camera because the screen on my GoPro died.
@ thank you Jenny. I am guessing you are happy with your decision. How do you transfer the video to IPhone to edit on the trail.
@ yes, I prefer the DJI camera as it’s less buggy. I use a lightning to USB camera adapter, with a micro SD card reader. I take the card out of the camera and plug it into the card reader, and transfer the files using the files app on the iPhone.
I was sorta expecting Brian’s car to be one of the army trucks…!
Your boyfriend has a fine moustache and also makes Planes, Trains and Automobiles references. A true gentleman and scholar.
Nice try but I'm not guessing your age - that's a trap!
Haha! :-)
📌 GOOD LUCK
Happy belated birthday 🎂! Blessings on your journey. I am guessing you are 28?

Ha! Movie quotes!
Happy Birthday!

What kind of hat are you wearing?
It’s a P-cap lite by parapack and I love it! I got mine at Garage Grown Gear. It folds up really small and weighs less than an ounce.
