    Hey Birdie, I have watched this youtube channel from the beginning and I am so inspired by this journey to where you are today. I live in BC canada and so very much appreicate you showing me around all these wonderful places. I have started getting out of my van and walking around a little as you have encouraged me and shown me even a little of the trail is better then none of it. Loneliness overwhelms me at times and watching you and others on youtube fill that void in some ways. please feel to reach out to me and I will gladly be your long distance friend. Always nice to just have someone to call or text. You never know how many followers who are in the simular situation as you who sometimes just need that human connection.

    Please get some really good bear spray and practice using it. 🐻 Also, maybe you're doing this and not showing it, but a really good stretch before and after, and even during if you're stopped for a moment, can go a long ways towards keeping the soreness to a minimum, and creating longer muscles as you start to lose fat and build muscle, which you are definitely doing. None of us are ever going to have long, lean dancer muscles, 🤣 but it will prevent tight balled up muscles more prone to cramping. Maybe also consider a walking stick. They're not only way cool but are useful in maintaining balance over tricky terrain since you are obviously now becoming a magical mountain goat! 🐐Keep going!! 🗻

    • @firequeen2194

    Keep super hydrated, before, during, and after hikes to reduce soreness after.

    Please please please when you’re in the wilderness area carry bear spray. We would be devastated if something happened to you and I don’t think you would like being devastated. 🤦🏻‍♀️
    Oh, and one more suggestion; purchase a walking stick for your hiking trails.

      Jean, why a walking stick? I get the bear spray.

      @@vlynn8816 helps you conserve energy from swinging your arms when you walk, and also helps stabilize you etc. They are fantastic for everyone, but especially us plus size ladies.

    You did it girl! 😊 I don't know if I should tell you this but we have mountain lions too. They don't eat much. 😂. My favorite place to go camping is near Mt.Saint Helen's, don't worry she's sleeping. It's beautiful there and you get to see how the mountain is healing and recovering since the eruption in 1981 I think. It is on the other side of Mt. Rainier national park. I think it's cool?. ❤

    I am crying right along with you, girl! I have a photo of my "live Bob Ross painting" moment. And I describe it the same way! I cried as I took in its beauty too.
    I connected so strongly to that moment in your video!
    Also, it's so awesome to see you cry tears that aren't from suffering and pain! ❤️

    OMG Birdieeeeee!! WOW! Just wow! That was one of my favourite of your videos yet!! (and I've been following you since the beginning) How majestic and wonderful was that?!! So blessed to experience that, and thank you for taking us with you. I live in Scotland and will probably never be able to visit the States, so appreciate when others share its beauty. I am so proud of how far you have come and how much your confidence has grown with getting out into the outdoors and hiking. You are getting there slowly but surely! So proud of you getting to the ridge too as that really was a glorious view! I've never seen a bird with blue on it like the one you filmed too, that was gorgeous 😍 Thanks again for sharing 😊 lots of love ❤
