Aron, I have seen a many videos of folks climbing Mount Katahdin, but I can state without any reservation that your video is the best accent and decent that I have ever seen! Smooth camera motion when panning, great framing, and excellent perspective display of the verticals and downs. I have so very much enjoyed your journey to MK! I am certain that the AT experience has taught you much about yourself that was unknown previous, yet reinforced the tenacity you knew was in there but needed this pathway to prove such. May this proven courage continue to help you in the “trail” of life as you prevail in all the challenges life may throw at you. God keep you and your family I pray!
I loved every minute of this, so amazing. That climb up looks very scary, but you all seemed pretty much at ease, I am in awe. I started watching before I left for work then it was hard to just turn it off, I was almost late for work. Trying to get me fired?!?! 😅 We looked forward to watching you videos in the evenings, my husband would get upset if I watched without him, opps. But seriously we enjoyed we applaud you all. And we will keep subscribing, and supporting you, and hopefully see you out there on the trails again. Waving from Tennessee. 👋🧡
That is so nice! I promise I wasn’t trying to get you fired 🤣! Thanks so much for following and watching! I hope to keep the channel going with some smaller hikes. I have to go back to work (not sure what I’m going to do) but hope to come back with another long hike in the not too distant future!
Such a great video, OG!!! It’s so special that your family came and summited with you!!! I’ve drug it out and watched segments of your video throughout the day. I’m going to miss watching your videos everyday! I can’t wait to see you and t/w you, now! 😎
Congratulations on completing your AT hike and even more for having such a beautiful family. This was a great video for so many reasons. I really liked that you put touching the sign from your perspective and from Pop Tarts. (No peanut butter and gummy worm tortillas for him.) Celebrating that with your family must have been awesome. The views on the way down were especially amazing. Big T mentioned there was an essier way down but I've not seen anyone take it. I was hoping you would end the video with "Let's gooo -- home!" I will miss your daily videos. Take care and keep on going. Thank you for sharing.
Wow. Congratulations OG! Or maybe for summit day I would say OmG! What an incredible accomplishment and such a special way to finish....together with your family. I thoroughly enjoyed following you along for the entire journey and am so glad those "Smell you Later" punks (that story cracked me up for some reason) and the dog bite incident early on didn't dampen your spirits or deter you from reaching your goal. I loved how you showed and narrated about so many of the views and sights along the way. Thanks for inspiring me in your pursuit and accomplishment of such a big goal. When I am pursuing a challenging goal in the future I'm sure at some point a little voice will pop into my head saying...... "Let's Go!!!".
I just want to say thank you for sharing your great adventure with us. Thank you for such great videos that I found myself looking forward to each day. Thank you for rekindling my dream of hiking the AT one day. On about day 140 of your videos my wife started watching and she got hooked, now she wants to hike the AT with me. Thank you. Congratulations on making it to Katahdin, I didn't doubt you would make it. Its been awesome going along with you. I hope you and your family have many more great adventures. Thank you and Lets Go!!!!!!
You made it! I enjoyed following your journey. It was so inspiring. Also a shout out to a wonderful family. Thank you for sharing your 151 day journey of a lifetime!
THE HOLY GRAIL!!! Katahdin is the freaking HOLY GRAIL for Thru Hikers and YOU DID IT!!!!!!!! An unreal accomplishment and one sought after by so many but achieved by so few. I am beyond impressed and in awe and am thrilled for you! Nothing like a Virginia Bad Ass (relocated to Carolina) touching the sign! A+ job my friend!
Congratulations! And a huge thank you for sharing your journey so generously, and genuinely, and graciously. I have watched from your first step as someone loves to hike and has hiked short AT sections, but due to injuries and arthritis won’t ever be able to hike it through. Thank you for “let’s go!” I’d definitely buy that merch! Thank you, thank you, thank you! And while you owe us not a thing more, we’d all be fortunate if you chose to share future hikes, short or long, with us. Godspeed OG!
Thank you so much, that is so kind! I appreciate you and thanks for following! I plan to do some more local and shorter hikes and keep the channel going until I can tackle another longer trail. Thanks again! 😄
That was the best summit video and finish (hadn't seen any footage of going back down) of Katahdin I've seen....ever! Extra special to have your family share this experience. I've loved watching your adventure. Thanks so very much for sharing it with all of us. For now....life goes that way....let's go!
Thanks so much! It was awesome having my family with me! Also helped having other people filming to help capture it! Thru hikers are so ready to get up and down and be finished that I think they don’t typically film as much. Thank you for following! Let’s go! 😁
Y’all are all rock stars! Have to admit I had to take many deep breaths watching the summit video. So beautiful though! Aron, I am so in awe of you accomplishing this amazing feat. Let’s GOOOO! ❤
AMAZING!! Congratulations OG! I have enjoyed following you on this awesome adventure! May God continue to pour out his blessings upon you and your family!❤
What an amazing day to finish an amazing journey! And to have the fam along side those last few miles was wonderful to see. Yup, I shed a tear when you got the top. Partly at seeing you touch that long awaited sign, partly at knowing the journey is over and I'll miss those early morning videos I've looked forward to for 5 mos. Thanks for sharing your journey, every aspect. You've accomplished something so many try, but don't complete. Proud of you! Looking forward to seeing what you tackle next!
Congratulation to you for reaching the summit and your family for walking those last hard miles with you! What an awesome family you are blessed with! I’ve really enjoyed your daily vlogs and will miss hearing, “you know what we do….let’s go”! Great videos of your adventure!
OG, cogratulations! How wonderful to have the whole family there with you to share this moment with you. And thank you for taking us on this adventure with you. I hope to see you keep making videos, maybe on the PCT or CDT?.
Yes, I cried when you touched that old weathered sign. Well done OG! Congrats! So happy Honey Stinger was with you as well as your family. Seems there were strong legs all around. BTW I'm glad your Muppet Pelt made the climb. Let's Go OG 💙
Congratulations, Aron//OG!! I’m in awe of all you making it to the top together and held my breath through much of the ascent to the top-whew-and then cried like a baby seeing you all together sharing in your achievement! Jason and I can’t wait to see y’all soon and get all the details. We love the Goss family and are so, SO proud of all of you!! 💚
Oh my word! That ascent looks terrifyingly steep! What an amazing end to your epic hike; awesome to have the family along too! I'll miss your hiking videos, but it was a joy to follow along. Let's GOOOooo000ooo!!!
Congratulations! Beautiful people to have with you as you touched the sign at the top! So happy for you! Loved all your videos! Enjoy a well deserved rest ❤
You made it ❣️You made it ❣️You You made it all the way to the top and along the way walked / hiked over 2000 miles.... YOU SO MADE IT ❣️ Congratulations my friend... I have completely enjoyed your journey... The AT has been on my bucket list for a few years... I need to just do it 😁 Thank you again ❤️❣️
Dang, Aron, I got seriously teary when you touched the sign. Wow, what an incredible journey.! Thank you so much for sharing it. I am in awe. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
A HUGE congrats on this accomplishment. We’ve watched every vlog and appreciate you taking us along on this journey. So glad your family was able to make it out again for the final summit- what a special moment! And THANK YOU for being prepared and able to help the young man with the Epi pen. My own son suffered a bad anaphylactic attack 5 years ago and EMTs saved him with one. It’s such a scary situation and your family was in just the right place at just the right time. It’s amazing how things work out sometimes. Best wishes to you all, and we hope to see more videos from you in the future.
I think I "met" you on your Day 88 when Nahamsha introduced you on her journey... about 1,000 miles ago. I have enjoyed you every day since and have been waking up in the morning to your "let's go!!"... what a motivator to get me going every day. I am so excited that you got to finish and that the weather seemed to have cooperated for you and your family. CONGRATS!! What an accomplishment! 🎉🎉🎉 Take care! I will miss you in the mornings, but hope you'll come back to us with another adventure!
Congratulations O G . So glad you had your family and pretty good weather for your summit day. It's been fun watching your trip with PTL over your 151 day journey. What a trip! What an adventure! Enjoy your rest, recovery and recollections.
Congratulations!! No rain! Unbelievably beautiful day to summit Katadin. A memory none of you will forget. Lovely family full of love and adventure. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and letting me tag along! I will miss seeing you and hearing "Let's gooo"! Since I didn't find you until you were well into your hike, I am now watching the beginning. I believe there are no coincidences, and God puts us where we are needed. So glad you could help another hiker before you headed home. Best wishes to you and your family!
Thank you so much! I appreciate all your support and for going back to the beginning now! :) Imiss being on the trail, but hope to do some local hikes and smaller hikes until I can get back out on a longer trail!
I’m so proud of you, OG! What an amazing accomplishment. And to hear your boys tell you they’re proud of you, well that must have been the icing on the cake. And that was a God thing to put you on that mountain on this particular day to provide aid for the climber who needed emergency assistance. Wow. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Wow, just wow! Thanks for sharing your adventure and all the ups and downs that came with it. Like others, I’d be lying if I wasn’t a bit emotional watching you at the sign. You’ve been a great inspiration to me and I am sure many others. I’m so glad your family were able to make the trip and join you for that final leg of the journey. Thank you again and I can’t wait for any follow on videos you may post.
MAGNIFICENT!!! What a finish!!! My heart just burst watching you and your beautiful family summit that incredible mountain!!! I am going to miss watching you every day and hearing your wonderful call..LETS GO🙌🙌🙌🙌 I hope the rest of your summer is totally awesome!!! It would be so fun to meet you someday just to give you a big ole hug!! Just because I feel like you would be the kind of nice person who would like a big hug!! You are so kind and fun and a all around fantastic guy and I see the joy and love you show towards everyone. You and your family will forever be in my thoughts and prayers 💗🙏
Wow, wow, wow! Your family are troopers and you are a rock star! You not only completed the AT…you completed it in 2023 in the worst New England weather that I can recall. I’m so thankful that you ran into Taylor (Nahamsha) because she introduced us to you. Then I followed you (from my recliner!) all the way up Katahden and back. (And what kind of joke did the universe pull to put that treacherous climb at the end of the AT?!!) Congratulations, Aron. What an accomplishment. Every time I head into something that’s difficult, I’m going to think to myself, “You know what you gotta do. Let’s go!”). And we definitely need a gif of that!
You know what we do… let’s go!! Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so thankful to have hiked with Taylor she was an inspiration to my hike and is such a kind genuine person. Thanks for following, I appreciate you! 😄
Thanks for sharing your journey, I feel like I was there too! Congratulations!! How long did it take from the katahdin campground to the summit and back? It is quite a difficult looking final challenge…
Some smaller local hikes in the near future then the Foothills trail this fall and hopefully the Pinhoti trail this winter 🤞 Long term I hope to be out on a long trail again in the not too distant future! 😁
Congratulations OG and thank you for sharing your journey! So happy for you and proud of you. I’ve loved every bit of it. The summit is my fav of all the videos. Love your family and it’s so cool they could finish with you. Honeystinger- thank you for loving and supporting OG on his journey, it couldn’t have happened without you.
That means so much, thank you. I was proud to be a supporting team member as OG checked off a bucket list dream! He spent his whole life doing the same for others so I’m happy he had this chance. We knew he would make the most of it.
Thanks so much Larry! I appreciate your support, it meant so much knowing I had friends pulling for me! That summit hike was amazing and having the family with me made it even more epic! Thanks again for all the support and for following along! 👊
These last 3 days' videos have been emotional. To hear you say it's your last day hiking before summit, to see your family embrace you, and to watch you all trek to the top together, I shed some tears. I am so happy for you and your family, and I can't wait to see what adventures you post next! Maybe a recap of your favorite moments, talking about how well your gear held up, or advice for future hikers?
I appreciate you so much, it was amazing meeting you and having you follow along. I love the idea of a favorite moments recap! I've got to work on that one until I can get back out on some more adventures! Thanks Again!!
You did it!!! Congratulations!! I’m so proud of you!! I feel like I just finished an epic novel that I’ve been reading for 5 months. I’ve laughed, struggled, and today, I cried. Thinking of you as you re-enter the world below. Congratulations, again, to the coolest family I know!
Oh, my goodness!!!!!! YOU DID IT O.G!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! 🍾🎊🎈🎉 I haven’t cried and had perma-grin at the same time in years!!! It was so awesome to see you filming your family hiking up Katahdin with you!!!!! I know you were so happy to have them with you on your last day!!!!!!! I BUSTED out laughing when you were sporting the muppet pelt for me!!!! I felt so important!!!! Lol!!! Seriously, great job, O.G., and I do hope you and Honey Stinger will do another Q & A interview now that you’ve finished!! Gosh, I know I speak for several people when I say I am going to miss your videos every morning!!!! It was just part of my morning routine, to see what adventures you were going to have each day!!! Thank you so much for letting us follow along with you on your thru-hike!!! I’m so happy for you, Honey Stinger, Caleb and Silas and their girlfriends!!!! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼 P.S. The best 2 moments and tear jerkers were when you touched the sign, and when you and Honey Stinger were looking at each other so lovingly on the sign!!! 😭😭😭
Had to bust out the pelt for you 🤣 Thank you so much for following and for all the support it meant so much to me and helped keep me going on the tough days! There should be some more content coming 😄
First of all, congratulations on completely the AT thru-hike! You filmed the most extensive and beautiful Katahdin summit I have ever seen. Your love of family and theirs for you has shown throughout the film. I was actually crying at points throughout. It has been a joy and privilege to follow your journey. Thank you! Please continue posting journeys of you and you family.
Thank you! That is so nice of you! It was amazing having my family with me at the end! I hope to bring some smaller and local hikes to the channel until I can someday do another longer trail. 😀
You did it! My mornings won't be the same without your video updates. I guess you had a particular hiker odor about you when you got your Baxter State Park hiking permit since they spelled your name as Gross. 😆 Congratulations!
Thanks for allowing us to go through this hike with you! I’m not sure what I’m going to watch now while I eat dinner, 😂 but Congratulations! 🎉 Amazing job!
Congratulations!!! An amazing hike, thank you for sharing your journey with us. So glad your family could join you and summit Katahdin. Curiosity question, the AT has 2,190+ miles, it would be interesting to know how many total miles you have hiked, to include blue blaze tails, into towns for resupply, and off trail to interesting places and restaurants and such. I would think these activities would add a substantial number of miles to your journey. By now you are back in NC, welcome home (NC is my home state too), you sure can't beat these beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Happy trails
Thank you! NC mountains are gorgeous! 😄 I would estimate probably another 1.5 - 2 miles additional walking per day on average. So over the length of the hike 150 days another 225 miles or so. That’s probably not too far off?
Aron, I have seen a many videos of folks climbing Mount Katahdin, but I can state without any reservation that your video is the best accent and decent that I have ever seen! Smooth camera motion when panning, great framing, and excellent perspective display of the verticals and downs. I have so very much enjoyed your journey to MK! I am certain that the AT experience has taught you much about yourself that was unknown previous, yet reinforced the tenacity you knew was in there but needed this pathway to prove such. May this proven courage continue to help you in the “trail” of life as you prevail in all the challenges life may throw at you. God keep you and your family I pray!
Thank you so much and that is so well stated. I appreciate you so much.
I loved every minute of this, so amazing. That climb up looks very scary, but you all seemed pretty much at ease, I am in awe.
I started watching before I left for work then it was hard to just turn it off, I was almost late for work. Trying to get me fired?!?! 😅
We looked forward to watching you videos in the evenings, my husband would get upset if I watched without him, opps. But seriously we enjoyed we applaud you all. And we will keep subscribing, and supporting you, and hopefully see you out there on the trails again. Waving from Tennessee. 👋🧡
That is so nice! I promise I wasn’t trying to get you fired 🤣!
Thanks so much for following and watching! I hope to keep the channel going with some smaller hikes. I have to go back to work (not sure what I’m going to do) but hope to come back with another long hike in the not too distant future!
Congratulations!!!!!!! So happy for you and your outstanding accomplishment.
Thank you so much!! 😁
Fantastic accomplishment!! Congratulations on an awesome hike. Thanks for taking us along. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much!
Congratulations! Enjoyed following your journey. Beautiful family!

Let’s gooo!! Congrats on your summit with your family. Enjoyed the journey 👍
thank you!
Congratulations on completing your AT hike and even more for having such a beautiful family.
This was a great video for so many reasons. I really liked that you put touching the sign from your perspective and from Pop Tarts. (No peanut butter and gummy worm tortillas for him.) Celebrating that with your family must have been awesome. The views on the way down were especially amazing. Big T mentioned there was an essier way down but I've not seen anyone take it. I was hoping you would end the video with "Let's gooo -- home!" I will miss your daily videos. Take care and keep on going. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I can never eat those tortillas around PopTart! 😬🥲😁
I appreciate you following! 👍
I enjoyed following you and your overall upbeat personality! Congratulations!! 🎉
thanks so much, I appreciate it!!
Congratulations, OG. Excellent finish to an amazing journey. Thanks for taking us along. Onward.... let's gooooo
Thank you!! 😁
Congratulations!!
Thank you!!
Wow. Congratulations OG! Or maybe for summit day I would say OmG! What an incredible accomplishment and such a special way to finish....together with your family. I thoroughly enjoyed following you along for the entire journey and am so glad those "Smell you Later" punks (that story cracked me up for some reason) and the dog bite incident early on didn't dampen your spirits or deter you from reaching your goal. I loved how you showed and narrated about so many of the views and sights along the way. Thanks for inspiring me in your pursuit and accomplishment of such a big goal. When I am pursuing a challenging goal in the future I'm sure at some point a little voice will pop into my head saying...... "Let's Go!!!".
Thank you very much. I appreciate your kind words and for following along! It really was an incredible adventure! You know what we do… let’s go!! 😁
Congratulations! Thanks for letting us share in your adventures, struggles, and ultimate victory to Mount Katahdin!

Congratulations! And a huge thank you for sharing your journey so generously, and genuinely, and graciously. I have watched from your first step as someone loves to hike and has hiked short AT sections, but due to injuries and arthritis won’t ever be able to hike it through.
Thank you for “let’s go!” I’d definitely buy that merch!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! And while you owe us not a thing more, we’d all be fortunate if you chose to share future hikes, short or long, with us.
Godspeed OG!

I have completely enjoyed your journey... The AT has been on my bucket list for a few years... I need to just do it 😁 Thank you again ❤️❣️
It was so much fun! I say give it a try! Thank you so much for the support!
Reminds me of the song "This Land is My Land"
😁
Dang, Aron, I got seriously teary when you touched the sign. Wow, what an incredible journey.! Thank you so much for sharing it. I am in awe. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I was seriously teary too 🤣. Thanks so much for following and for all the support. It meant to much to me.
A HUGE congrats on this accomplishment. We’ve watched every vlog and appreciate you taking us along on this journey. So glad your family was able to make it out again for the final summit- what a special moment!
And THANK YOU for being prepared and able to help the young man with the Epi pen. My own son suffered a bad anaphylactic attack 5 years ago and EMTs saved him with one. It’s such a scary situation and your family was in just the right place at just the right time. It’s amazing how things work out sometimes.
Best wishes to you all, and we hope to see more videos from you in the future.
Thank you so much! It was so awesome having the family with me - and amazing we were in the position to offer help!
I think I "met" you on your Day 88 when Nahamsha introduced you on her journey... about 1,000 miles ago. I have enjoyed you every day since and have been waking up in the morning to your "let's go!!"... what a motivator to get me going every day.

I will miss you in the mornings, but hope you'll come back to us with another adventure!
thanks so much, I'm so glad I got to meet and hike with Taylor, she is the best! Thank you for following and for your kind words!
Congratulations O G . So glad you had your family and pretty good weather for your summit day. It's been fun watching your trip with PTL over your 151 day journey. What a trip! What an adventure! Enjoy your rest, recovery and recollections.
Thank you so very much for the support. You and PTL were amazing Trail angles and I am so thankful for your love and generosity! Thank you again! ❤️😁
Congratulations!! No rain! Unbelievably beautiful day to summit Katadin. A memory none of you will forget. Lovely family full of love and adventure. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and letting me tag along! I will miss seeing you and hearing "Let's gooo"! Since I didn't find you until you were well into your hike, I am now watching the beginning. I believe there are no coincidences, and God puts us where we are needed. So glad you could help another hiker before you headed home. Best wishes to you and your family!
Thank you so much! I appreciate all your support and for going back to the beginning now! :) Imiss being on the trail, but hope to do some local hikes and smaller hikes until I can get back out on a longer trail!
I’m so proud of you, OG! What an amazing accomplishment. And to hear your boys tell you they’re proud of you, well that must have been the icing on the cake. And that was a God thing to put you on that mountain on this particular day to provide aid for the climber who needed emergency assistance. Wow. Thank you for sharing your journey.
We need to go on another hike together soon! Let’s go! 😁
I’ve followed you since day 1. Congrats brother! I hope to follow you in ‘26.
Thanks so much! I appreciate it 👊
Hip Hip Hooray! Life goes that way. Let's go!😀
I like it 😁
Wow, just wow! Thanks for sharing your adventure and all the ups and downs that came with it. Like others, I’d be lying if I wasn’t a bit emotional watching you at the sign. You’ve been a great inspiration to me and I am sure many others. I’m so glad your family were able to make the trip and join you for that final leg of the journey. Thank you again and I can’t wait for any follow on videos you may post.
Thank you so much!
MAGNIFICENT!!! What a finish!!! My heart just burst watching you and your beautiful family summit that incredible mountain!!! I am going to miss watching you every day and hearing your wonderful call..LETS GO🙌🙌🙌🙌 I hope the rest of your summer is totally awesome!!! It would be so fun to meet you someday just to give you a big ole hug!! Just because I feel like you would be the kind of nice person who would like a big hug!! You are so kind and fun and a all around fantastic guy and I see the joy and love you show towards everyone. You and your family will forever be in my thoughts and prayers 💗🙏
I would love a big hug!! Thank you so much for the support and for following, it meant so much to me!
Congratulations Aron on an amazing journey.
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you for hiking the hike of my dreams and for allowing me to tag along digitally from Texas. Bless you. Dan
You bet! Glad you got to see it from my eyes, thank you for following!
Wow, wow, wow! Your family are troopers and you are a rock star! You not only completed the AT…you completed it in 2023 in the worst New England weather that I can recall. I’m so thankful that you ran into Taylor (Nahamsha) because she introduced us to you. Then I followed you (from my recliner!) all the way up Katahden and back. (And what kind of joke did the universe pull to put that treacherous climb at the end of the AT?!!) Congratulations, Aron. What an accomplishment. Every time I head into something that’s difficult, I’m going to think to myself, “You know what you gotta do. Let’s go!”). And we definitely need a gif of that!
Oh, and P.S. Your family may have saved someone’s life! Good Lord, when will the movie come out?????!!!!!
You know what we do… let’s go!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so thankful to have hiked with Taylor she was an inspiration to my hike and is such a kind genuine person.
Thanks for following, I appreciate you! 😄
Congratulations!! You did a great job arriving to the TOP of Kathadin😃 It was a pleasure waiting Ching your videos. Thank you so much
Thanks for sharing your journey, I feel like I was there too! Congratulations!! How long did it take from the katahdin campground to the summit and back? It is quite a difficult looking final challenge…
Thank you very much!
Congratulations, so glad you had your family there with you to celebrate the conclusion of a wonderful adventure. Best wishes on your next trek.
Thank you! I appreciate that so much.
You did it !!! Congratulations !! Thanks for all the fantastic videos.
Thank you and thank you for following along!!

@OGhikes Let's Go!! 😊 Any plans for future adventures?

Thank you!
Congratulations OG and thank you for sharing your journey! So happy for you and proud of you. I’ve loved every bit of it. The summit is my fav of all the videos. Love your family and it’s so cool they could finish with you. Honeystinger- thank you for loving and supporting OG on his journey, it couldn’t have happened without you.
That means so much, thank you. I was proud to be a supporting team member as OG checked off a bucket list dream! He spent his whole life doing the same for others so I’m happy he had this chance. We knew he would make the most of it.
Thanks so much Larry! I appreciate your support, it meant so much knowing I had friends pulling for me! That summit hike was amazing and having the family with me made it even more epic!
Thanks again for all the support and for following along! 👊
OG A big congrats. I knew u would make it. Sweet that your fam could summit with u. See u back in NC. Thanks for the journey. Great job.
Thanks so much!
Congratulations OG. We've enjoyed watching your adventure. So what's next?😉
thank you! smaller hikes in the near future, back to work (not sure where yet) and earn some $ for another longer hike!! :)
Loved following your journey - congratulations man!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for following!
These last 3 days' videos have been emotional. To hear you say it's your last day hiking before summit, to see your family embrace you, and to watch you all trek to the top together, I shed some tears. I am so happy for you and your family, and I can't wait to see what adventures you post next!
Maybe a recap of your favorite moments, talking about how well your gear held up, or advice for future hikers?
I appreciate you so much, it was amazing meeting you and having you follow along. I love the idea of a favorite moments recap! I've got to work on that one until I can get back out on some more adventures! Thanks Again!!
You did it!!! Congratulations!! I’m so proud of you!! I feel like I just finished an epic novel that I’ve been reading for 5 months. I’ve laughed, struggled, and today, I cried. Thinking of you as you re-enter the world below. Congratulations, again, to the coolest family I know!
Thank you so much! I have enjoyed having you on the trek with me!! Your fam is pretty darn cool too!! 😄
Oh, my goodness!!!!!! YOU DID IT O.G!!!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! 🍾🎊🎈🎉 I haven’t cried and had perma-grin at the same time in years!!! It was so awesome to see you filming your family hiking up Katahdin with you!!!!! I know you were so happy to have them with you on your last day!!!!!!! I BUSTED out laughing when you were sporting the muppet pelt for me!!!! I felt so important!!!! Lol!!!
Seriously, great job, O.G., and I do hope you and Honey Stinger will do another Q & A interview now that you’ve finished!! Gosh, I know I speak for several people when I say I am going to miss your videos every morning!!!! It was just part of my morning routine, to see what adventures you were going to have each day!!! Thank you so much for letting us follow along with you on your thru-hike!!! I’m so happy for you, Honey Stinger, Caleb and Silas and their girlfriends!!!! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
P.S. The best 2 moments and tear jerkers were when you touched the sign, and when you and Honey Stinger were looking at each other so lovingly on the sign!!! 😭😭😭
Had to bust out the pelt for you 🤣
Thank you so much for following and for all the support it meant so much to me and helped keep me going on the tough days!
There should be some more content coming 😄
Woohoo!!!! You can’t cut us off just like that!!!! Lol!!!!!
Congrats OG, I looked forward to your videos everyday. Will miss them. Great you were able to share the summit with your family. 33:29
I appreciate that! 😁
OG so happy for you. Congratulations and go rest. Peace ✌️ Out.
thank you!
Congratulations!!!! What an amazing journey. Thank you for sharing it with us!
thank you! and thanks for following!!
First of all, congratulations on completely the AT thru-hike! You filmed the most extensive and beautiful Katahdin summit I have ever seen. Your love of family and theirs for you has shown throughout the film. I was actually crying at points throughout. It has been a joy and privilege to follow your journey. Thank you! Please continue posting journeys of you and you family.
Thank you! That is so nice of you! It was amazing having my family with me at the end! I hope to bring some smaller and local hikes to the channel until I can someday do another longer trail. 😀
Amazing! So very happy for you. It was an epic journey. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations! Thanks for the great vlog of your journey.
Thanks so much!
You did it! My mornings won't be the same without your video updates. I guess you had a particular hiker odor about you when you got your Baxter State Park hiking permit since they spelled your name as Gross. 😆 Congratulations!
I noticed that too😂
Thank for following along, now let’s go get a beer! 🍻
You can tell who has their trail legs and who doesn’t .. that is one tough climb to Momma K
It was a tough climb for sure! the fam did amazing though!!
Thanks for allowing us to go through this hike with you! I’m not sure what I’m going to watch now while I eat dinner, 😂 but Congratulations! 🎉 Amazing job!
Thank you! :)
Congratulations!! So glad you were able to summit with the family!!
Thank you!!
Congratulations. What a beautiful journey. Thanks! Next year I hope to have a go!
You got this!
Congratulations!!! An amazing hike, thank you for sharing your journey with us. So glad your family could join you and summit Katahdin. Curiosity question, the AT has 2,190+ miles, it would be interesting to know how many total miles you have hiked, to include blue blaze tails, into towns for resupply, and off trail to interesting places and restaurants and such. I would think these activities would add a substantial number of miles to your journey. By now you are back in NC, welcome home (NC is my home state too), you sure can't beat these beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Happy trails
Thank you! NC mountains are gorgeous! 😄
I would estimate probably another 1.5 - 2 miles additional walking per day on average. So over the length of the hike 150 days another 225 miles or so. That’s probably not too far off?
