Thank you all for your support. We were able to get our pack weight down and I was actually at 29 pounds fully loaded and the knees just were not able to keep up but we do have intentions on going back to section hike more of it and other trails as well. The AT holds a chunk of our ❤️. Always will.
Do what is best for you. Have enjoyed you sharing your adventures and will keep watching for what comes next.
Appreciate the support and sticking with our little channel. We still plan to put out at least one video a week.
I have loved your journey. I look forward to watching more of your adventures.
Thank you .. appreciate you sticking with us. We plan to continue to make videos of our travel and hiking.
Hello from Oklahoma! I'm gonna keep watching y'all. Your health is more important. Keep your joy. ❤
Thanks so much for sticking with us. We are planning some travel and hikes and deff plan to put out at least one video a week.
ADVENTURE ON!

Thank you!
Your You Tube channel is appropriately named…Following The Leading. That’s what you’re doing as you step away from this adventure to begin another one. I know you are following God’s leading. May God’s Presence be felt in the gentle breezes as you stroll along the beaches, and in the beauty of the horizons.May your hearts overflow with joy throughout your next journey as you experience God’s awe-inspiring creation!
Thanks so much. We deff are following the leading.
God Bless you guys wherever you go and what you do. Just keep following Gods leading and you’ll be fine. I’ll keep following along as you go 😊
Appreciate the support and understanding. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You can always go back & hike another part, tough decision, enjoyed following along !
We deff plan to go back as well as travel and do some west coast hikes. Hope you stick with our Chanel and continue to watch and see what unfolds.
Enjoyed keeping up with y'all. My joints kill me after a day hike. I think the connection you two have is rare. Wishing y'all the best whatever y'all decide.
Appreciate the kind words and we hope you stick with us to watch the next adventures. We are bffs for sure.
I love that you went and gave it such a good try- and then know yourself well enough that you knew that the rest of it was not for you atm. You have the courage to try it - and the wit to change plan when the first one does not fit you, You do you - as is best for you!
Happy adventures the coming weeks as well :)
We appreciate the kind words and hope you stay around and watch our next adventures. We plan to continue hiking and making videos.
Enjoyed the ride y'all! Rest up and enjoy life! 🤠
Appreciate it! Stick with us. Deff more travel and hiking coming.
My hubs and I love watching your journey. I hear ya in regards to the knee. I have a bum R knee that I have to KT tape and ace wrap for big descents. The last 2 miles into the NOC were brutal. In fact the hubs and I think we were right behind u two by a day or 2 when u did the NOC (guestimating the delay and what the scenery looked like and the comment regarding the shelter with the hiker vomitting). We are section hiking the trail so we do only like 3-4 days of hiking at a time. But remember its HYOH!!! Enjoy your journey!!! We look forward to your new adventures! Have fun in Florida! We are Flatlanders and live in central FL. ✌🏻❤️🥾
Thank you for the encouragement and support. We really apprappreciate it. We are looking forward to the beauty of Fla. We plan to put out at least one video a week so stick with us!
Thanks for offering such a pleasant vlog. It has been a charming experience of honesty and wonderful moments spent together. May your life choices bring you happiness. Wishing you peace and good fortune. Happy Trails!
You have consistently been one of my favorite supporters. Your kind comments have truly been one for the books! Thank you friend! I pray your trail in life is filled with joy unspeakable. Blessings to YOU!:)
@@followingtheleading Thanks.“Intrepid spirits seek victory over those things that seem impossible... It is with an iron will that they embark on the most daring of all endeavors... to meet the shadowy future without fear and conquer the unknown.” What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us. If one advances confidently with great enthusiasm and great devotion in the direction of one’s dreams and endeavors to live the life that one has imagined, success will be a triumph of high achievement. You have dared greatly and lived your life in the direction of your dream to a point that seemed arbitrary but actually was a conquest conquered. Best wishes!
Thank you for your kind words.we appreciate the support. Stick with us, we have lots of hiking and adventures to come.
@@followingtheleading I will be “Following the Leading”…I am looking forward to your next endeavor. Where ever it may lead I hope it brings you happiness.
Smart plan… take a break and reevaluate
Thanks for that support!
Glacier national park is awesome. We spent a week Wish we could have stayed longer. Good choice Health is the right choice.
Appreciate the support. Stick with us, we plan to have at least one video a week up. We are going to continue traveling and hiking for sure!
❤
I love Glacier National Park!!!
It’s deff on the short list of choices. Hope you stay tuned . Thanks for watching and commenting.
You guys made the right decision. Enjoy life, not make it a painful experience. Just remember that you both inspired a little boy in Helen to follow the leading and he still plans to hike the AT. We will continue to watch and support you guys.
Thanks for saying that. It was so great meeting yall. Hopefully we can continue to inspire and show some new places yall might want to go hike as well.
@@followingtheleading We are looking forward to seeing where you are lead!
Spoiler alert ..Fort Pickens and some kayaking ;)
@@followingtheleading We can’t wait!
Ain't no way I'd want to slosh my way through FL swamps.
No, me either. We are only considering the beach section on Pensacola Beach. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You are such a sweet couple - I’ve so enjoyed following you and will continue to do so!
Appreciate the support so much and kind words. We plan to continue to put out at least one video a week. Lots of adventures to come!
I love watching you guys! Iv learned so much from your couples video!!
That’s so kind to say.. we appreciate you watching and commenting. Stick with our channel. More hiking and travel to come.
Y’all follow your dreams wherever they may take you the trail provides most of the time start checking work boards when you get to tows work for stay to but I still try to tip it’s hard with a family that’s why you just have to kidnap the family and have them carry the poptarts
lol! That hilarious.. our son is not interested at all in carrying the pop tarts unfortunately. We are disappointed to leave the AT but looking forward to seeing more of this Beautiful country from a tent. Stick with us. We plan to have at least a video a week come out .
Florida trail is cool to plenty of gators and snakes
I look forward to see where your adventures take you. The Red Wood Forest is on our bucket list in the next 5 years. Enjoy the time you have together no matter where it is. You cant get these days back so live them to their fullest. Im here for the long haul.
That’s so kind ! We appreciate you sticking with us and yes this time together is most likely once in a lifetime. So we are living it to the fullest.
Have enjoyed your hike, comments, etc. The body can take only so much and you two are carrying real loads. Solo hikers can carry less, etc., and health, logistics, family, etc., are different for all hikers. I've seen some vlogs showing the north section and the last 200 miles or so are dangerous at times. Tough going, so if you go off trail maybe you can section hike some of the rest in the future.
We plan to do sections for sure as well some travel and other hikes. Thanks for sticking with us . We appreciate it!
Love your vids!
Thanks you! Stick with us. We have more videos and adventures coming.
If you’re still in Pensacola go Kayaking on Blackwater River you can camp on river too!
Oh awesome! Thanks for the tip! We will check that out.
Sorry to hear that you might be getting off trail, enjoyed. Life's A Journey, Enjoy The Ride
We hope to still get in some sections but the thru hike is not going to happen in 24. We have some big adventures planned though so stick around for the videos. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Young lady, you would have looked absolutely fabulous with shorter hair. And you would have been much more comfortable. You had this. Take care.
lol, she actually had super short hair when we got married. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The box is a cool place but it’s expensive best place to get a box but when I got there I ordered like 60 bucks worth of food lol hiker hunger hit me on my second step but a young lady working there insisted they pickup the tab I offered a 20 dollar tip she refused thank you so much for my trail angel
The noc 😂
That’s amazing! We love hearing these stories. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great place and great people!
I so enjoyed watching your hike. I wish you both all the best. ~Just Try~ A.T. 2023
Just caught the tail end of your AT, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much. Stick with our Chanel. We have more adventures and hiking coming!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Stick with us. We have more adventures coming.
Nice place to visit but the nice is expensive
For sure!
Definitely finish you will regret it later the trail hurts it’s about over coming adversity the Florida trail connects with at all the way to Canada I started the at went 6 months on
2000 dollars I just found work on trail I know it’s hard to juggle everything happy trails don’t give up never quit on a bad day A.T Hiker
I’m starting sb hike on pct next month got crushed after coming off of A.T left me bedridden for 5 years then started walking a little and picked something up broke my back in 3 places put me down for another year I’m back to hiking a little but you can accomplish anything if your willing to suffer the pain it takes to do it living the dream is hard that’s why so many never achieve them good luck keep living the dream happy trails
Listen to your body and let Holy Spirit lead your decisions. God's ways are bigher and better than ours! 😊❤
We deff plan to continue with some sections but we have to use our limited time together wisely. Thanks for the support. Stick with us. Lots of adventures coming.
We deff didn’t quit on a bad day. We weighed it for a week off trail.
Try and hunt down dixi crossroads best sea food in florida
I've added it to the list. Thanks for the tip!
Disappointed, but not shocked. I was concerned for you that you were not able to cover more miles each day. That results in more effort on things like camping and logistics, which is not where you want the focus. As I once heard an AT veteran explain, this is about the hike.
Yeah it was a great experience and we hope to continue with some sections. Stick with us. We have some other adventures planned for videos as well.
Thru hiker here. It's not meant to be pleasant (all the time). Much of it is about perseverance and being able to be comfortable while uncomfortable or in pain. If it was easy, everyone would do it - like visiting a beach in a camper van. Not to say one is better than the other.
Having realistic expectations is paramount. It's not "camping". It's not sight seeing or day hiking. It's grinding and hiking all day everyday pretty much. And it's beautiful (to some).
I will say, the pain could have been much less had you trained, bought more suited/lighter gear and prepared financially. Your packs were way too heavy. There is a mountain of information out there about this (and no, ultralight gear isn't necessarily more expensive).
It's not for everyone, one in four roughly makes it and that's fine. Don't beat yourself up too much and learn from this.
It was a great experience and we hope to get more miles of the AT In As well.
@@followingtheleading I am glad about that and hope my pointers will help you a bit with that as well. Happy trails
Do trail magic for a while.
We have discussed that actually. Right now we are spending time with family and recouping. Thanks for watching and commenting.
