  • A random/chaotic/fun week in my life! I went to Nashville where I hung out with my pal Evan and we went to a concert! Then came back and did an EPIC hike in the White Mountains!🎉

    To be honest Liz you are one of my most favorite TH-camrs. I love your content and your driven nature. I have rewatched your AT hike a million times!! Your hiking videos inspire me to begin my backpacking journey. You’re a rockstar and I look up to you!!

    Hey Liz, I have been watching your videos since the begining of your AT through hike. I can honestly say that you're one of the only people I have followed this long. ( and Evan, of course) I love what you post, your message, your attitude, and just your general way of seeing things. I appreciate the shit out of you and I'm so happy I'll get to follow you along on your next adventure.
    I hope Luke is well and I was really rooting for that mullet to achieve its full glory! Be safe, and don't sweat the petty stuff.

  • @kevinmulloy693
    @kevinmulloy693 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your "random/chaotic/fun week" is mostly well-organized hard work with some good times hanging with friends thrown into the mix. I think we knew before you did that you were going to meet up with the gals even though it was considerably out of the way. When you listed the "choices" about, "Do I hike extra and meet up with them or, no?" you ended with "It is the point of this hike..." You're certainly not afraid of hard work! I follow these videos to see the organization as much as anything. While hiking, most of us lose things, or forget things, or get lost, etc., you organize so well that you make it look easier than it is. *You must have been organizing things your whole life - thank you for all the work.

    Love your random videos! I see TH-cam as a way to collected and save our home videos. Not many VHS tapes laying around anymore so this is a place where no matter what I can look back at the memories and moments that I’ve had throughout the years. That’s what life’s about right. Having fun and making memories. :)

    Hello Liz! I love your videos. I never followed anybody on TH-cam or any social media before. This thing about making videos on a regular basis, is king of binding and takes the fun out of it. For TH-cam, it's good business and that it why they programed the algorithm that way. I like your relaxed approach, it suites me. It also motivates me to get out there and do things I like. Don't pressure yourself to change, do what feels right for you. More people should do so. Thank you for sharing these moments of your life with us. 😊✌

    Hi Liz, so awesome to see you hanging with Michael Franti. One of the most inspirational people I know, and one of the best concerts I have ever been to, and I have been to a lot. It was not really a concert, it was an experience of joy and hope. Love your content. As another person in recovery, your message is important. You give folks, who are struggling with what to do without Alcohol and other drugs, great alternatives.

  • @WALKITOFFDavidSmith
    @WALKITOFFDavidSmith 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love it, Liz. I haven't made a YT video in quite awhile b/c my channel has been about hiking the A.T., but since that's over, I've been considering just making videos about whatever I wanted and let the chips fall where they will. I love the creative outlet of making videos. I've scheduled myself to get up to Virginia in Oct to hike the VA Triple Crown and maybe visit Grayson Highlands so that should be some decent content, hopefully. That trail in your video was AMAZING! SO cool that you and Evan are hiking the CT! So the million dollar question: Has hiking with Evan made you want to consider ditching the tent and using a tarp?

  • @kennethlovelace9403
