Kara, you have such a deeply beautiful way of shooting and editing videos. It’s truly your gift. This family edition was so touching. Always love it when your videos drop.
Your family is a gift from God. The family being close is a privilege many don’t have. Sorry for the loss of your aunt. Hope good health hints come your way.
Kara, I was so excited to see this video pop up. I really miss your videos. This one made me tear up. It was so touching. I’m really sorry about your family’s loss. Thank you sharing your life with us. You feel like a friend. 💙🙏🏼💙
What a beautiful video and a beautiful tribute to your aunt. My deepest condolences for you and your family. I remember so well going through the deep grief after my oldest brother passed away. I wasn’t sure how to do life without him. I woke up one day and decided that the best way to honor him was to live my life to the fullest and find joy in something every day. I felt he would want that. I began to travel more (something he loved) and it truly healed me. I pray that you will find your way through the grief and continue to live your life to the fullest. You’re such a beautiful human being. Hugs to you and your sweet Roan.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Melanie. And I'm so sorry about your brother. What a beautiful way to honor him, he sounds like such an amazing person. 💛
So very sorry to hear of your Aunt's passing, Kara! 😢 You have such a beautiful family that will be there through thick 'N thin, and that is EVERYTHING. ❤ Sending much love & hugs to you & your fam!
I Love it! You took us on a journey in the good times and the bad times going on with your family. You illustrated, hope in life that has been going through pain. You have an loving and adorable family!😇🧚🏻♂️😎

Lovely to see you back, Kara. I was wondering about you. Sorry to hear about the sad loss of your aunt. Cherish those memories. Looking forward to viewing your future adventures.
What a beautiful video. You don't owe us anything, but I was wondering about you just yesterday and then this video popped up on my feed today! My heart goes out to you and your family. Life is so short. I cried, I cannot help it. May this year be your brightest year. To 2024! We support you!
Hi Kara! So good to see you again. Honey, I am SO SO sorry for your loss. Your aunt was beautiful! (She was my age.) Praying for your family. And thank you for the memories! I lived in Bradenton, FL for about 3 1/2 years (and still go there often), and Anna Maria Island was my beach time place. (Loved that restaurant at the end of the Pier). You took some awesome footage that portrayed it well. Looks like your family had a blast! Thank you for another amazing vlog. Looking forward to more. Lisa
Thank you so much, Lisa! (I have another aunt named Lisa 💛) I’m so glad you enjoyed this video- thank you for your kind words and for being here. Working on the next one now, hopefully will be ready by Sunday!
I've been thinking and wondering about you recently. I'm so very sorry for your loss. I may be facing something similar in my family now; time will tell. Best to you, hug your loved ones, and I am looking forward to hearing about your winter trip!
So happy to see you back on You Tube! And so very sorry for the loss of your aunt. Sometimes there are just no good answers why someone so young has to struggle and then lose their battle for life. I know that must have been really tough for your family. I’m looking forward to seeing your winter backpacking trip!
I'm so sorry for your loss. You have been missed but we understand why. I'm sending good thoughts your way that 2024 will be an improved year. I understand how tough a job search can be. I finally gave up and opened my own business. It's been a financial struggle with many delays but I have faith that 2024 will be a improvement for us. You are in our hearts.
Oh wow, that is so cool you started your own business! Sometimes the best things come out of the hardest seasons 💛. Thank you so incredibly much for your kind words and for being here! I’m so glad you are.
What a beautiful video, Kara, and a lovely tribute to your Aunt. I'm terribly sorry about her loss to your family. You really are so talented at making videos and clearly that needs to be a significant part of your future no matter what path life leads you on.
Wow, you are so kind! This means so much to hear. Thank you so much for being here and for your kind words 💛 (also, I have started doing a little freelance editing for hikers on the side! Hoping it grows in 2024 Really appreciate your vote of confidence!🙏🏽)
Loved the old school vs buses. I might have to find one for my retirement years and convert it into a mini camper so I can drive around hiking on the many trails that we have in tn,ga,nc and va. Back in the early to mid 70s my family owned a vw bus that was in the line green color with white colored roof. I learned to drive in that thing,
Enjoyed your video... this past summer.my wife and I took road trips to Hanover(lunch with Pink Hot Dog at Lou's), Stratton Mountain, Mt.Greylock(Trail Magic for Pink Hot Dog), Monson (Lunch at the General store and visit at the Visitor center) and lastly a trip to upper New York for a meet up with Tony(Random Adventures 2.0) That's all for now. Looking forward for more of your videos. Forgot the best part Baxter State Park and driving over to abol bridge
That is so cool! You're bringing back great memories of places on trail. That sounds like an epic road trip. Thanks so much for sharing these memories and also for watching this video!
Oh Kara i’m so sorry about your family’s loss. Obviously your family is very close and she was loved very much. I’m sure it has been hard on all of you. It is the craziest thing I was doing Uber and DoorDash today. You know trying to bank some bucks to get out on the trail. And out of the blue I thought about you and when we met at Above The Cloud Hostel. I wondered what you were up to because I haven’t seen any videos. I very much look forward to your video about your most recent hike. I know it’s early, but are you going to trail days? Peace and love! Magpie
Oh Kara, what a sweet sweet video and especially in memory of your aunt. In spite of a rough year, it seems like you had some wonderful moments of memories. I can't believe someone wants to turn that beautiful land into concrete ugly apartments. You have such a happy lovely family. I can't believe you nephew smashed his face in the cake! lol I have really missed you and your videos. We are doing okay. Noah, our son, graduated university in December. He wants to take a "gap year". He's 25 and has been in public school system since he was 3! I don't blame him! We went to the Jersey shore this summer for a few days. Oh, I went to Wales for 10 days in May to visit my cousins. It was the first time I was in a country other than Canada, and I was all by myself! I got turned around at Heathrow, but so many nice people got me back to where I needed to be. From Heathrow I took a train to Cardiff, I saw many castles, and sheep!! They are everywhere lol. I can't wait to go back! It was so beautiful, and it was wonderful meeting all my family there! I wish you all the best and your family as well. Looking forward to seeing you more!
I KNOW! Seriously *cringe.* luckily I know better now than I did my first overnight. And also luckily I made the mistake in the shelter that was so huge it could hold 20 tents, although we were the only ones there.
Everyone looks good and healthy Kara. Ihope to see more adventures. Peace
Its good to see you and your family. Everyone looks real well.Hope to see more adventures . Peace
Sorry for your loss. Enjoyed the video, I take it y'all were on the gulf side for FL based on that awesome sunset.
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your aunt! 🙏
Kara, you have such a deeply beautiful way of shooting and editing videos. It’s truly your gift. This family edition was so touching. Always love it when your videos drop.
Wow, you have no idea what it means to me to hear you say that. Thank you SO much, I truly appreciate you being here! 💛
Lots of love packed into your family

Welcome back.
Thank you so much!!! Glad you're here :)
I just barely made it to the barn last year on a section hike to see it. That was a tough nobo climb out of there 🥵
Oh man, so glad you saw it before it was too late! Yeah that climb can be tough.
Again I am Carl
My sister is Karla
And it is good to say hello
Hi can I talk about your TH-cam channel
Sure !
How @@KaraKirtley
It’s not because so much there’s a housing crisis. It’s more about greed
Unfortunately, the music is so loud I cannot understand what you are saying most of the time.
I’m so sorry, Nancy! Have made a note- you can also turn on closed captions and that might help! 💛
A tent in a shelter, seriously?
I KNOW! Seriously *cringe.* luckily I know better now than I did my first overnight. And also luckily I made the mistake in the shelter that was so huge it could hold 20 tents, although we were the only ones there.
