    I'd love to run into some wild hogs in the bush. Just to add to my list of wild things I've seen hiking. I know they're invasive and a major problem, but it'd still be cool. I got to peep a bobcat and some river otters on my trips last year in PA which was awesome. Good luck on the AT.

    Congratulations for not giving up and seeing it through to the end-you are a true YT influencer. I really enjoyed watching and it was really inspirational. On a side note, I have been section hiking the Foothills Trail myself and I for one appreciate the opportunity to see the terrain through NC and the Jocassee Gorges, so thank you. Enjoy and soak in every moment of the AT. We will be watching all the way to Maine.

    Yes, you are a thru-hiker now! Congratulations and well done! It's so good to see you enjoy your achievement and the beautiful area you have just walked through. I spent a good bit of my teenage years in those hills, and virtually everyone in my family has been on the top of Table Rock at least once -- for me, probably a score of times. I know you will be ready for your AT trip, and hopefully this will give you confidence. You know how to backpack, for sure. The rest is just being present and dealing with the highs and lows and everything in between.

      @@MeanderingMeganB never stop trusting your gut...trusting and accepting help is a shortcoming of mine as well. I’ve considered accepting help as a sign of my weakness needing help. I’m trying to work through it. Being alone on the trail gives you perspective, the AT will afford you more social interactions to consider, but trust your gut always, it will keep you safe most of the time. Hope to meet you on the trail, or on an airplane to thank you in person for adding a little sunshine to my day for the last week!

    Congrats to you, Megan! You worked hard and deserve this victory! It was a pleasure to watch you on this trail. You had to overcome a lot to get to the end. I have no doubt you can conquer the AT with that positive attitude and willingness to carry on and keep on fighting for it.
    Side note: I am hearing impaired and it would really help if you caption when someone is speaking so far from the camera/mic like the gentleman pointing out all the sights from Sassafras Mountain. I could not make out what he was saying at all, even with my headphones and the volume turned all the way up. I realize that may be nearly impossible when editing videos on the trail, but *if* it’s ever possible it’s a huge help to those of us with hearing impairments.

    You are such a beautiful spirit... and it's a must you do a dance at the end of each vlog... your only issue on trail will be fighting thru the grind. Give yourself the grace of Hostel stays, a hot shower, and slack pack when offered.

I agree, I've definitely be reading the books on mental strength (Appalachian Trials was the most recent) because I know that's something I will probably have to work through. I was raised to respect my elders and to be honest I just love talking with them. The stories they can tell and how passionate they are about what they choose to speak about really gets me. Anyways lol, thanks for watching!

      @@MeanderingMeganB The hardest part of doing something like the AT is it's purely your choice. Nobody forces you to take on the challenge. That each day ends with a chance to quit and go home is the hardest thing. I think it will be a lot easier this year to enjoy a stop in town as the vaccines roll out more and more, schools open, and the weather allows people to get out and mingle, the underlying fear of the illness will soon be forgotten. It's been a rough year mentally for everyone. The trail can renew your soul, and faith in humanity. But it too is an opportunity for those wishing one harm. Always be aware of your surroundings, never hike alone, safety is always in numbers. Surround yourself with positive hikers and you are going to be able to complete the task. I think you got this based on your vloggs.

    Wow, what a feeling of accomplishment for you! Wonderful shake down hike. Looking forward to your gear review. Not sure if you know about Braids who through hiked the AT last year. She had a lightweight little roller for her feet and legs that she got at a dollar store. It helped her a lot. Might want to look into one of those for your poor tootsies. So eager to watch you start the AT. I might do sections or maybe even a through when I retire. I’ll be 67 so that should be interesting! You are such an inspiration!

    You got me crying in Indiana girl! So happy for you! My longest hike was pictured Rocks in Michigan and that last day is so bitter sweet. You did great!

    Congrats on the thru ! Can't wait to go along with you on the Appalachian Trail. About how long do you think it will take? 👍😎🤔

      Thank you so much! I'm thinking probably 6 (I feel like a slow-fish hiker), but 5 1/2 would be great!

      Yay! Thank you! Haha it feels like I have a tiny bit more insight into backpacking, but feel like I still have so much to learn :) But also very exciting!
