Briana totally rocked the 6,800-mile American Discovery Trail! Such an awesome accomplishment from an amazing Mainer! This whole journey of hers is super inspiring, reminding us to push our boundaries and explore the amazing world out there. Huge congrats, Briana!
Little did you know Brianna is my dads girlfriend 😂
She is incredible!
The world on foot is a world you are a part of. Congratulations.
I did 11.1 miles today in Yosemite in the snow and I thought I was King. She made me feel so small. 🤦🏻♂️🤣
I am incredibly humbled by your achievement!
My big head from thru-hiking and over 10,000 miles of trail has shrunken on a short
pole.
You are absolutely my hero!... VIKING AT98
The Appalachian Trail did it to me too! Hooked on hiking. Congrats from Crackerjack.
She is amazing!
Bravo!! Well done. She is high on life. Can feel her energy.
Such an inspiring story! Briana has persevered to reach a goal and has seen parts of the US many of us will never see in our lifetimes. I am in awe!
What an amazing achievement congratulations 🎉🎉❤
Congratulations to her! 🎉 What an amazing accomplishment. 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Briana we want a book!
Congratulations! You rock
That's INCREDIBLE!!!! What a feat!! and omg so cute her family surprised her
Wow, congratulations Brianna! In December 2023 I completed a 10,300 mile road trip solo. I did some hiking during that trip but I can't imagine being in the wilderness, on foot and alone for more than a day or two. She is amazing!
Much respect!
Simply epic! 🙏
Wow! I've never even heard of this trail, let alone hiked any part of it. Congratulations, Breanna.
Such an inspiring story! I love it!!
go briana!!! a rockstar!
Oh nice! What an adventure. i want a mini documentary miss
As a long distance walker I can also concur with the emotions that come upon you when the end is in sight. Not so much for the completion, but for the knowing that what you have been doing on auto pilot for months is coming to an end...
You're amazing and inspiring. Congratulations
Big Big RESPECT!!!
Great job! A true athlete
Congratulations-Thank you for sharing this inspiring story!😂❤🧘🏼🌿🙏
Congratulations! 🎉 Very inspirational, thank you!
Congratulations! so proud of you!!
Congrats!
Congratulations
Now that's getting out there and doing something, good for her.
Total legend..x
Go girl go! That's amazing.
Now to Patagonia!!!
wow
BADASS, go girl!!!!!!
Run Forrest Run!!!
The most impressive part is that she didn't lie about the blizzard.
Bravo!
And let’s not forget that this is not a “trail” that she could follow.
A lot of navigation and trespassing.
I think the trail is 4800 miles? Great accomplishment and adventure!
Depends if you do the north or the south. 4834, and 5057. Given the distance they spoke of and saying she did the whole thing I suspect she did the whole middle loop instead of picking just one route, north or south.
She did both north and south routes.
@@kyleshootsthingsphotograph2226 That's what I want to know. Did she went in circle to cover both routes?
Walk Forrest Walk!!! 😀
Southern trail?
Now ya gotta walk back 😟
🏆👀
Next she should try to tackle Alaska to Argentina! Who knows, maybe she can get a few sponsors!
Can i get a COPY of that trail to give to my WIFE?! Bwa ha ha!
After driving across America, not too interested in walking it now
It's mot a trial CNN it's a hearing.
Well I think she's a snob actors and information about the American Discovery trail and she blew me off I think she's a snob and takes 2 years to walk it I don't think so he must be real slow but anyhow I'll get somebody to give me some information
Down with the patriarchy... or whatever we're supposed to be mad about this week!
I do feel like I need an update ticker to keep me posted each week…
@@ABC-zs1sq Like a phone app.
Now do the middle east... see how far she gets...😂😂😂
Ok....now go get a job and contribute to the economy.
Beaten paths are for beaten men.
Right yeah let’s go to therapy and explore that jealously…
Why should someone else live your idea of what life should be? News flash, there's more to life than "contributing to the economy".
And then end up with a career and some money……..sad existence
Contribute to the economy that gives it away to people who don't contribute to the economy? Why work? 😂
Congratulations
