He should have unfastened his hip belt and sternum strap - in case he dunked and had to shed his pack to get back to the surface.
Ding ding ding, you nailed it first.
Holy Moly - Franconia Ridge looked crazy! 😮
It gorgeous though
From The Union Leader in New Hampshire: Hungry bears are "following campers" in New Hampshire's White Mountains, Forest Service says.
You got a link?
Enjoyed the update, as always!
I'm glad you enjoyed the update! Your support means a lot to me.
Enjoy your news. I intend to section hike from Great Barrington south to Tuxedo, NY where I left off last time. Found a cheap bus from philly on Labor Day. Hope the heat calms down after Sept 1. Ive been sectioning since 2017 starting at Springer. 72 years young
That sounds like an amazing adventure! It's great to hear you've been section hiking for so long. Wishing you safe travels and cooler weather as you continue your journey!
@@stevescramo592 I love this ! I think if I did it at my age I would section hike and avoid summer just do it march - July 4 and then do another hike sept -?
Best of luck to you !
Ramdino 🏆
He didn’t unbuckle his pack before crossing.
Yep, absolutely
Just done the triple crown and it got down to 50 one night but was at 4 pines that night so was not up in the mountains that night
id love to have 50 here
Just seen your video what you think about having your own buff with your logo or bandana I would ask viewers what they think first I have 6 months 15 days before we start cant wait feels like going by slow
Thank you for your suggestion! I love the idea of involving the community in the process. It’s exciting to hear about your journey-time will zoom by, and you'll be ready before you know it!
he should have unfastened the hip belt on his backpack. Like the previous subscriber said.
and one more....
Not knowing about leave no trace isn't an excuse to be a litterbug. They should try fingerprinting some of the trash and ticket the folks that get id'd.
it sucks when people can't think of others
He should have unbuckled his lower and upper belt cliips. Rangeley is pronounced Range -LEE
yes on clips and thanks for the phonics lesson
Even if they don't know " leave no trace", I am sure they have heard " do not litter". So sad....😢
Totally agree! It’s a bummer seeing trash everywhere. Let’s just hope more people catch on!
Ughh... that info about Franconia Ridge made me so mad. 😠 People like that need to stay home!
Agreed, I don't get why people hike so hard up that Mtn to see a gorgeous view and then think its ok to trash it.
Waffle and Hawkeye have crossed 2000 miles and should finish in a couple of weeks.😊
Can’t believe they’re almost done! Time flies when you’re having fun, right? Let’s go, Waffle and Hawkeye! 🥳
Din't loosen hip belt. Thanks for the update.
You bet
Great update. I understand how the body can break down with age. I just turned 63 and haven't been able to hike but once this year. After double knee replacements in 2022, I was doing great. Now I am looking at ankle replacement this year. I'll get it fixed and back on trail asap. I'm planning a thru-hike attempt when I retire in 3 years at 66. Thanks for all you do for the hiking community.
It's inspiring to hear about your determination! With your upcoming ankle replacement and a positive mindset, I have no doubt you'll be back on the trails in no time. Keep pushing forward!
Any update on Sadie?
Sadly no, but thanks or asking
Just came through a section of the Shenandoah - Pinefield Hut had zero flow at the spring - had to filter from stagnant pools.
yick
@@Ramdinohikes I expect that will change a bit after the rain we are expected to get in the next few days!
Do you have estimated day you will be around Pine Grove Furnace State Park? We are hiking in that area I believe the same timing of your LASH
Probably Tuesday
I think he should have found a safer place to cross. Like you've said before. If you drop a stick in the water and can't keep up with it in the current, it's flowing too fast and can be dangerous.
Yep, better to play it safe
Was wondering, after unbuckling your pack, is it better to have the rushing water hit the front of your legs as you side step across the river or hit the back of your legs?
Great question. I would say the front so you can face upstream and see any debris or rising water coming at you.
Great updates. Back pack straps should be undone an wrong angle on hiking poles. Should maintain at leased 3 point contact, just like rock climbing.
Haven't heard the 3 points of contact before but you are correct
Big no no. He didn’t unbuckle his pack in case he slips and falls he could then get out of his pack easier.
which includes??
@@Ramdinohikes sternum strap 😀
Didn’t unbuckle his backpack.😮
You got it
I climbed Moosilauke last week and can confirm it was freezing up there. Nobody was hanging out at the summit but taking a picture of the sign and moving on. The wind gusts knocked one of my friends over ONTO THE ALPINE VEGETATION but we were hiking with a retired forest ranger and she pardoned him.
Always nice to have an official pardon. Who can I get to pardon me for missing my cat hole?
It was windy and cold up there at about this time last year with sideways mist and fog. I have great pictures from previous hikes. I managed to go over the mountain and the Kinsmans before I discovered that I had been hiking 40 miles with a double meniscus tear, which ended my thruhike attempt.
Bricky is Da Man! errrr..... Da Brick!
and thanks for your efforts in moving it north😉
He should have unbuckled his pack waist buckle.
and one more....
Bricky was in the hiker parade at trail days!😊
Did he have a hard time....? 😂
Your updates and insights on the Appalachian Trail 2024 thru-hike, especially through the Whites, are both valuable and inspiring. Your dedication to sharing trail news and hiker information reflects a wonderful commitment to the hiking community and an admirable passion for the journey. And I am Floating Village Life.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that you find the updates valuable. The Appalachian Trail is such a beautiful journey, and I love sharing it with everyone!
Hip belt!😮 Bacon Wrap
ya missed one
Range-ly…like home on the….🥰
Range-ly… like home on the range? Does that mean I should start yodeling in my videos?
@@Ramdinohikes please feel free! 😂😂🥾🥾⛺️
You’re doing a thru hike? Did I hear that right?
You have so many hikers along the trail who will want to support you in any way that we can. I hope you will keep everyone updated.
I've been planning it for years waiting til I retire. After keeping up with everyone else its my turn.
@@Ramdinohikes You might need someone to help with thru hiker updates for the year you are thru hiking. I would help you if needed to not miss a year.
So happy to hear that you are planning this.
❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you so much for your updates.
I really appreciate your support! I'm glad you find the updates helpful.
If it's any consolation and offers you hope, Ramdino, I hiked just short of half of the Trail last year before slipping in the New Hampshire mud (I skipped the middle miles), getting a double tear in the meniscus in my knee, which sent me home. After some rest and a cortisone shot, I returned to do a few short hikes, bringing me up to 1,100 miles - halfway last year.
I'm breaking in a replacement knee and will try to do the other half in 2025. If that's successful, I might try for a complete thru in 2026.
I'm 71 now, diabetic, with high blood pressure. I was in the best shape of my over 40 adult life by mile 800.
Tinker. Half-way, 2023.
Yes, Tinker, that does give me hope
.so glad to hear your besting back the miles and staying on trail despite have to break in "new gear"
he didn't unbuckled the hip belt.
and.....?
@@Ramdinohikes had some one with him ?
Great updates Ramdino! I see Daisy is really loving on you today, lol! Congrats! on all our hikers that summitted! Congrats on all who didn't make it to the end! they made a great attempt That take great effort and courage!! Some people don't care about leaving no trace and that's pretty sad! We all should respect God's creation! LEAVE NO TRACE!! Thanks for all your updates!
Thanks a ton! Daisy’s a total sweetheart, and you nailed it-everyone who tried deserves a high five! Let’s keep spreading the love for nature and leaving it as beautiful as we found it!
Thank you for the link to the Woods Hold weekend. I have signed up and look forward to the training and advice for my 2025 thru hike.
Wonderful! IT should be a great weekend.
Hey Ramdino! Ill be 60 in October, too, and have pushed back my attempt to 62 because I'm taking care of my mom. Im planning on training, as i hike with many chronic injuries, so I am considering getting a personal trainer who works with hikers. Ill keep you updated. I hope to see you out there on the trail. Thank you for everything you do!
That sounds awesome. My parents are 85 so I get having to delay some things to take care of them. My mom is in icu right now.
@@Ramdinohikes Prayers for your Mom. My mom just turned 88. Hugs.
Bricks has his own Facebook pages
