As long as you come back and hike the missing portions, you've done the AT. Doesn't all need to be done in one go.
Are you planning on going back and doing the wildcats? Was super dissapointed to see you skip them, personally I love that hike
For all the comments are trying to belittle her journey, why does it matter to you? She can do whatever she wants and you hike it the way you want. What good does it do to put comments like that? At least she is being honest, first with herself and then with her followers. Is her style my style? No. Does it matter? No. Stop comparing yourself to others and just keep it to yourself if you don't have meaningful comments that contribute. Critisism is fine, being mean is not. I hiked enough miles in my thru hiking "career" that allows me to judge probably 99.9% of hikers out there. I just know better and I don't care much about doing that. It is better to help out a novice and encourage them (her) instead of thrashing. Get over yourself, you're not that unique, many thousands of people thru hiked the AT, you're just one of many, not some kind of an expert. Geesh...
Spanish moss is limited to the Southeast coast, from the Carolinas southward. It is a bromeliad, related to the pineapple. What you are seeing is a species of fruticose lichen. Marvelous video!
Maines 100-mile wilderness is awesome especially Rainbow Lake.
For me the Wildcats were the hardest section of the entire AT. Southern ME was almost equally as challenging. If you're worried about running out of time to summit Katahdin it might make sense to flip ahead. IMO Katahdin is the most difficult climb on the AT. Whatever you decide I hope you enjoy yourself to the fullest. ME is spectacular - the 100-mile wilderness is amazing!
That BIG mountain at 12:00 min was the Presidential Range that you just hiked.
I believe in you! this hike has been so hard but you just keep going, you're strong, you're powerful, you're amazing. we all love you and you inspire everyone
The Carters are fun. I just had lunch with Fib, Hot Hands and Nemo on a beautiful rock between Middle and North Carter last Saturday, the 17th.
You are making smart decisions! Happy trails 👣
What an amazing couple of days on-trail.
The overcast skies, and the gnarly mossy landscape, sure gave it a spooky vibe.
The time spent in town looks very sweet, indeed.
Wishing you continued good fortune, and good health.
Rock On
Good video with some good views, nice water fall, looks like some fall colors starting, so let's keep on hiking...
God Bless You Jessie...maybe...
Hello, Honeybee. Go! Go! Go! I enjoy your vlogs and hope you make it in good fashion to Katahdin.
Since 2007, I've section hiked from Springer to the James River Footbridge, near Glasgow, VA. I've only missed one stretch, and that was accidental, as I missed a trail turn and walked a gravel road a short distance near Davenport Gap. That I missed it doesn't mean a thing. I'll never through hike, but I wish I could. But based upon some of the comments posted here, if being a thru hiker turns folks into snarky snobby critics, I'd prefer not to join the ranks. (But I know most thru hikers are really nice folks, just like you.)
Know you are under time pressure to get through Maine, but take it easy. The climbs can be hard. You have time, if you keep plugging along. You can do this. Enjoy the journey. It will be over before you know it.
Going down Madison from south to north is supposed to be the toughest part of the AT. At least for a descent.
Skipping the Wildcat Mountain ! 😱
She’s no through hiker
@@bottomlands it’s absurd but then want the recognition…. Fine hike your own hike but don’t publish it on TH-cam as a thru hike!!! Pathetic
Disappointed, I’ve done the Wildcats many times and it’s not that bad. I find southern Maine much more difficult.
Honey Bee, your vlogs are getting better and better! 👍😀
This is your hike. If you started at Springer and end in Katahdin you are a thru hiker. It doesn't make a difference if you zigged back and forth on this journey. Your still hiking the Appalachian Trail. That is a lot of hiking. Enjoy your journey. Your free. Do it your way.👍
Sounds like a good plan. Go Honey Bee!🙌🐝
. . . Best laid plans of mice and men, in the Wildcats. You did Great, girl!
Hey, may be Jesse hikes. I hope you would put some shirts out with your name on it when you’re all done that would be totally awesome.
So are you adding the Wildcats to your list of sections to go back and finish after Katahdin along with that post-Covid section by Carlisle PA or are you just hiking your own hike from now on and giving up on the thru hike scenario in favor of safety and timing ? I respect you either way. Safety should always be a top consideration.
I figure she'll go back so she can say she hiked the whole trail.
@@PositivelyKyleHikes Say to whom? The only person that matters is herself and her adventure. She does not need to say anything to anyone.
@@Yetithruhikes clearly she can't say she hiked the entire AT if she didn't... As long as she goes can and does the skipped portions, she's able to claim that.
@@PositivelyKyleHikes I understand your point. But my point is that she doesn't need to claim anything. She's just hiking. And even if she does claim that? What difference does it make to other that hiked it completely? None. I thru hiked it and I couldn't care less what other claim they've done and if they actually did it. I focus on my own game. That's all.
That "BIG" mountain was Madison
Well-being #1 priority…
Is rattle river closed?
What's your trail name ?
As a former thru hiker (7 years ago), I am proud to say I hiked every step. I can't beleive you are proud that you just skipped a section... ugh. I guess like you said; the clock is ticking, so I suppose the only way you can make it is if you start skipping the hard parts.
Who cares so long as she goes back and finishes the missed portions later on?
@@PositivelyKyleHikes who realllly cares, does she get an award when all said in done?
@@davidsaf4907 Yes, if a hiker completes the AT they can contact the ATC where they will be added to their records and classified as a 2K Miler and receive their certificate of completion. Based on the honor system
Yikes, another section skipped. No shame in doing most of the A.T. HYOH
You need gloves
Discretion is the better part of valor, some obsess about doing every inch of the AT but one knows in their heart when they're doing the right thing, it's your journey. Way too far north for Spanish moss, I think the northernmost Spanish Moss is in Maryland on the Delmarva Peninsula.
The A.T. Hikers are a different breed.. Nineteen Mile is a piece of cake.
Can’t believe you’re proud of not having continuous footsteps and skipping a section. I guess you’re OK with not being a thru hiker.
Because without continuous footsteps, every white blaze, you did not thru hike, the Appalachian Trail
I hate to pile on the criticism because I’ve loved cheering her on, but I do find it weird to be so close to a thru hike, except for 18 miles here, 14 miles there.. That is NOT what ‘hike your own hike’ was ever supposed to mean..
If you don't go back within one year and make up sections you have skipped, you are not a thru hiker.
