Recent New Patreon subscriber here. I'm currently following your progress on the ADT. I have gone back to watch some of your other trails (Mississippi paddle, Condor). I see in this video the first seeds that led you to ADT. I find it just a little funny - right now where I'm at on this CDT and current ADT, you are wandering around Colorado, about to see your parents in both. Will Winter catch up with you in either/both of them . . . . the mystery!!
Really love the looks of the trail today. If you hadn’t been so fit when covid attacked you and so tough you got back out there, we’d be missing all this. Thank you Matt.
Glad you are doing better, if still with the "moose-scaring" cough! Really nice trail through here with spectacular views! Hmmm. American Discovery Trail, huh? Sounds interesting. And even though I am on the East Coast, I could also hear Taters' eyes rolling from here! Stay warm, recover, and hike on! Tortoise
I am so glad you are feeling better! Praying you recover entirely soon without any cough. Really appreciate the trail footage today. Great job of sharing your journey!
That moose has eyes for you... Beautiful lighting for your video, nice pace who needs Godzilla fast.,. Yes you are goal oriented young one... many areb" rolling their eyes for the mention of a new long distance challenge".[ insatiable need for pain... your threshold is amazing. The Army could model their super soldier on it .Must get the calories in though, the cold will make you burn crazy extra for warmth. Sleep well, dream of Mexican food. You are a wonder sir. How many lifetime miles have you logged ,? 100,000 club ?Soon the challenges will be walking the pipeline high tension wire pathway... you could be their inspector Get paid keep on walking, all over the USA
The ADT, while a different animal from the AT, PCT, and CDT, would be my choice of long trail because it is coast to coast, the walk-across-America dream some of us grew up with as kids. Never got to do a coast to coast, but I have done parts of the WV and OH ADT sections, and they were enjoyable.
Just looked into that American Discovery Trail, looks like an amazing trek. Would love to watch you do that trail too. Hope you're feel better by now. Colorado looked amazing might add Colorado trail to the ever-growing list
Yeah! Minute Rice, Santa Fe Beans and taco seasoning. You told me about it when I visited, but I still need to get the fixin’s and give it a go myself.
I don’t know how you do the cold…cold and pain just sort of feel the same to me. Oh and ps…omg it’s looking like this is gonna happen. You’re gonna be a triple crowned, dude!
Love your videos. Got a question if you have time to respond. I am looking at the same Patagonia R1 fleece jacket you are wearing. Is it warm and what temp levels do you feel comfortable wearing it over your Black Diamond hoodie which I have too? Good luck and hope you continue to get stronger from your Covid bout.
It’s an emergency replacement for my old arctyryx fortrez fleece. I wish I still had my arctyryx but considering they pulled it off the market the R1 has generally worked well. Biggest complaint is the chest pocket is too small to fit a phone which seems like a very odd design choice. Beyond that I’ve basically been living in it full time the last week or two
I’d really like to do the remainder of the IAT and there are some interesting looking treks across Scotland, France, and a few other places that it would be interesting to do circumstances allowing
Unsolicited vote. North Country Trail! You could definitely squeeze into the weather window with a late March/early April departure from Vermont. Just get thru ND by mid/late October.
@@FirstChurchofTheMasochistHikes Think of the opportunities with the NCT, nobody does that one on TH-cam. You could be a pioneer, and after everyone sees all the road walks they will surely flock to it since they seem to be so popular.

Once again, she is a far better partner than I deserve. Her initial reaction wasn’t exasperation, but she’s actually considering it.

14:04 what a tranquil spot to pause.... on on 👢👢
Florida Trail: "I gots lots of road walks!"
ADT: "Hold my beer."
The ADT is something I know you'd enjoy, since you're a lover of road walking. :)
Nice scenery. Good to see you so cheery.

Get paid keep on walking, all over the USA
I think I saw some purple mountains majesty in today's video.
Yeah that dinner is the best. I had the same thing and I’m at home. It’s my favorite easy meal.

Following Rocky Mountain High on TH-cam, she is in Colorado too on ADT
I have a shelter near the Buckeye Trail concurrent with the NCT and the ADT.
I maintain about 9 miles of trail. Would love to see you hike through that area!
Glad you're powering through dude keep it up I'm here for it!

I figure with all the overlap with the CDT if I was going to do the Colorado Trail it would have to be when Taters could join me

It’s really become the next frontier after burning out on knorr sides.

Hey now, don’t jinx me. I have a good 900+ miles to go and I’ve seen people break something major in the last 60 miles…
Have you thought about the American Perimeter Trail? I’ve just started seeing information about it.
I’ve seen it but it’s a bit too much makework for me and repeated a lot of things I’ve already done
Ooh that sounds intriguing!!
I hope you aren't pushing it, yourself, too hard too soon. It takes time to recover from Covid.

What kind of trails would you like to do in Europe?
I’d really like to do the remainder of the IAT and there are some interesting looking treks across Scotland, France, and a few other places that it would be interesting to do circumstances allowing
@@FirstChurchofTheMasochistHikes Sounds great! I hope you find the right circumstances to do them.
What is the temperature gadget you're getting?
It’s a Govee. Cheap enough I was willing to take a chance on it
Unsolicited vote. North Country Trail! You could definitely squeeze into the weather window with a late March/early April departure from Vermont. Just get thru ND by mid/late October.
That one is on my list as well due to it being on the NST11. I do really like the idea of a coast to coast hike like the discovery trail though
@@FirstChurchofTheMasochistHikes Think of the opportunities with the NCT, nobody does that one on TH-cam. You could be a pioneer, and after everyone sees all the road walks they will surely flock to it since they seem to be so popular.
For someone who like road walks the way you do. I just don't see you doing the Discovery Trail🤣
I did plenty on the ECT. I’m much more amenable to them when it’s not shortcutting actual trail on something like the CDT
There’s a reason not many hikers do the ADT. You are not a road walker.
Sounds like your lungs r doing better
