Hey everyone!! Thank you all for being so supportive ❤️❤️ I love making these and I love being out here - it’s so nice to know that you all are enjoying following along!!
This is the most important hiking video in my opinion. You obviously have a tremendous amount of skill and experience with winter hiking. To have someone like you say it’s ok to abort a hike and try another day was a great example of what experience truly is.
-30 and wind blowing you off the ridge for 3 miles...you definitely made the right decision. Being safe and smart will get you to Springer. You're doing amazing considering the constant cold and weather. Thanks for filming for us. Be safe
As an avid backpacker who has done Winter trips in much more mild conditions, hats off to what you are attempting! You are truely insane but I love you for it!
You are amazing. Tell yourself that. Think what percentage of people even consider doing what you are doing. You are brave and courageous. Keep it up, dude. We are all pulling for you
Your use of arbitrary was spot on meaning, "based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system". Remember one wrong step or decision can be the end of your hike. God speed, stay safe and looking forward to following you on your journey........... :)
You are one crazy SOB! I say that with the greatest respect and admiration!! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this epic adventure. I watch a ton of AT thru-hike videos, and nothing else compares to your experience! I look forward to watching every video! 👍
Amazing to watch this “Olympic” level event!! As a SAR volunteer it’s great to hear you discuss your thinking on difficult sections. Understanding the situation, knowing your equipment and yourself, having a plan B, and willing to take it. I hope people learn from your wisdom. Be safe and have fun!! We will be watching!!
There's snow one like you, Aquaman! Stay safe and pushing up to the edge, but not over. Loving your attitude, honesty, humor! It's infectious (but in a good way!). Hope to catch you on trail!
Man,.you will do anything to see Franconia ridge twice in one thru hike, won't you? Lol. You definitely made the right call on that one. It's one thing to deliberately do something crazy when you feel like you can do it. But to do something crazy when you get a bad feeling about it is a whole new ball game. I know many people could learn from your wisdom in this video! And the bright side is, you got to hike a trail you haven't hiked before! Bonus!!!
Awesomeness! That was one wild traverse from South Twin over to Lafayette, huh? Man, you did it in a blizzard! Phew! That wind looked pretty wild. Great call on knowing when to back down, though. As the saying goes, “the mountains will still be there tomorrow” and obviously safety is paramount here. Yes, perhaps the decision was “arbitrary” as you say but, more importantly, it was about self perseverance and preservation. Great job! 👏
I'm amazed with each video I've seen! I feel cold just watching your videos! And climbing in these snow covered mountains in snow shoes must be a much need skill! Wow!
I got to stay at the old Guyot shelter right before they tore it down and built the new shelter. Watching you trek through the whites in a blizzard makes my hike in summer wind and rain seem like a walk in the park. And yet it wasn’t! 😆 Excellent work listening to that tiny voice telling you to get off and come back another day. And yes, you are hiking! Your joy is infectious! I’m sooo glad I found your channel! Be safe and have fun 🤩!
Scott you are a beast. You did the right thing coming down from the ridge. Tomorrow is another day. Great way to find a positive in taking a new trail. Thanks for taking us along.
Your attitude is inspiring. I hike in storms like that around my home when its minis 40. But i get to sleep in a bed at night and make a big hot dinner. I love following your journey. Hang in there the worst is behind you!
My sons and many friends and family have done more than mine years of -10° day time to -20°+ night time temps. Love not having bugs or the crowds. I have found that 12 hr hand warmers are fantastic to keep your boots/shoes and socks warm at night. I put them in the foot box of my shoes and put my socks on top and slightly close then up. In the morning I have warm boots/shoes and socks and I finish using the warmers while fixing breakfast and breaking down camp. I'm bad. Even when it's -30° at night I have a 0° Campmor rectangular sleeping bag in which I sleep in just a T-shirt and a couple of hand warmers in the footbox. I just pull on my umderwesr to get out to take a wizzz. LOL I'm enjoying watching the two of you on your journey. Beautiful scenery. Be safe and enjoy. God bless.
I did the 9.2 Franconia Loop Counterclockwise back in late December of 2009 or 2010 (not completely sure of which year). Hiked it solo in blowing snow along the ridge, and wind chills down to -25. The hike from Little Haystack to Lafayette was the most intense hikes (and possibly the most foolish) I've ever done. Multiple times I was knocked off my feet by strong gust of wind while hiking along the open area of Franconia Ridge. I looked like a rime ice covered popsicle by the time I arrived at the Greenleaf Hut. I was fully equipment with Winter Gear (crampons, snow shoes, ice axe, etc.). I just cant fathom how you can do this day in and day out. Keep on heading South and hopefully I will run into you on the Appalachian Trail in my home State of Pennsylvania (i.e. Rockslvania)
That looked like an Antarctica expedition! Sorry Franconia Ridge was impossible, but so glad you got down from there before you really got in to trouble! You're amazing.
Dude!!! I thought I knew what I was going to say, but honestly all I can come up with is, fierce, amazing, in awe, watching you is way better than any adventure movie!!! Hugs to you up there. Stay safe. Mrs. DILLIGAF
“Hanging out is hard”… quote of the day! Just plain epic. OMG…the views…winter for the big win! Beginning to appreciate the chore of getting water in the winter. “Not today” = wisdom x 10
One year there was 9 of us on our winter hike and 31/2' of snow on the trail. We hiked like geese. Each taking turns breaking the way for the others. One section we had to road walk because the snow was 10' so the trail. Thankfully just a small section was unpassable. Your hike brings back some great memories.
My daughter and I were on the Ethan Pond section this past summer. It sure looks a lot different and it was much more comfy enjoying our dinner on a beautiful night. It was great to see your friends smile and laugh while trying to get those socks on. Glad you had good company for a few days! Good call on coming down with the bad weather. It's be there for another day.
I heard about your hike from Ramdino's video and thought I'd come check it out. WOW! I can't wait to watch the rest of your hike. When you get to PA, hope to see you out on trail!
Smart move I have been on Guyot in weather like that, my hiking buddy wanted me to go over South Twin with him I baled instead took the long way back to Lincoln Woods. Great video.
"I like hiking!" Love the attitude of side trail miles! (Along with your overall upbeat attitude in all circumstances!) That is going to be my mantra this summer when my brother and I do off "AT" miles . We're still walking, still in the woods, still hiking!
Dude amazing man! This is nuts and props to you 10000% what's important is your safe and what you feel is right. Love these updates Hoping to pass you in VA or PA during my NOBO.
What you’re accomplishing is staggering. That terrain is super difficult without snow/ ice. It occurred to me that since I’m starting AT 3/1 at Springer, if I survive I’ll see you on the trail.
Pretty good call. The Ridge is tough, and unyielding in that kind of weather. No sense joining Guy Waterman up there. Your video style really captures the feel of hiking in those conditions. Makes me want to be there too. All the best for the next few miles until you’re past Moosilauke. It’s clear sailing from there, man. I look forward to your posts!
Another EPIC Winter Vlog along the AT! Thank you! I'm really glad you opted to take the early exit to 95. Otherwise, it could have taken weeks for rescue to drag your frozen corpse down. I also don't know how you can breath all that cold air while "sleeping". I tried it once in zero degrees w/ no wind and only "slept" 4 hours while letting in a little bit of fresh air every now and then, to avoid CO2 poisoning. Keep hiking safe and bringing these excellent videos to us.
Thanks :) you know I’ve never had an issue with air at night except for a night last year when I forgot to open any of the vents in my tent. Had to open one in the middle of the night to get some fresh air.
I was hoping you would take it easy on yourself but glad to watch the video today and know you’re safe! Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us!💗🤗🙏
I love your positive attitude. That area you are hiking is some the most beautiful parts of the whites. Garfield Ridge can be very challenging even in good weather . The shelter you stayed in that was so nice was built in Vt and flown in and reassembled. Good call on not heading onto the ridge in those conditions. Just wondering what brand and model of sleeping bag and mats you are using. Stay safe, your killing it.
Thank you for getting off that ridge and staying safe! We would like to keep following your adventure! If you get hurt or suffer frostbite, we will not only be sad that you suffered harm but we will also have to wait an extended time for the next installment!
That's the rough part about cold weather backpacking trips. The hiking isn't that bad. For the most part, sleeping isn't an issue (if you're geared properly). However, hanging out relatively still at the campsite gets brutal. To top it off, the wood has been picked over within a half a mile of almost every shelter.
Scott, what is your experience in winter conditions? You seem to be doing very well!!! I'm starting the AT NOBO in late February. I'm a mountain guide/NOLS instructor. I have over 30 years of experience. I'm taking a NOLS group out in the Tetons next week for a couple of weeks of winter camping. I find your videos inspirational. Particularly your attitude! Keep it up!!!
Similarities in my travel, except I'm in Montana on the CDT. It appears you made the right call. Crucial to make decisions based on one's present circumstances rather than what will others others think/say. Well done.
Sound wisdom, Scott. You made the right call. Pay attention to your instincts and trust your intuition; they will not mislead you. Few are those who would even attempt to do what you are doing. I tip my hat to you. Stay well.
Is that your trail name...Aquaman? It makes total sense after seeing you through all of the N.East river crossings... and man oh man....this is all so beautiful!!!!
Crazy to be out there. I struggled in the summer as I tried to heal my bum leg. I tell the story in my new book “Only When I Step on It”. Can’t imagine the wind/cold. Bravo!
I am increasingly curious of your gear! As I watch you fight the storm I have to marvel at your jacket....and your camera. The fact that it takes such a beating and holds up just amazes me. What brands?
Aquaman!! You are an amazing hiker. Have you been trained in mountaineering? You make a great choice to turn around. Live to hike again. Do not freeze. Nice trail and you are enjoying and great attitude .Blessings and safe hiking
The badassery is only eclipsed by your stoke, positive attitude, and wise decision making. Stay warm the next few days. Winter decided to show up for real this week.
Hey Scott my heart is pounding watching your videos. I checked the current wind/chill/temperature it was saying-15° temperature, Wind speed/gust 85 mph making it -58°😱🥶
Scott--in a few days, not too long after Moosilauke, you'll be crossing NH Route 25A (not to be confused with Route 25 or 25 C) and headed up Mt. Cube. As you cross 25A you'll see a small public beach on Lower Baker Pond, with a summer camp on its opposite side. Include a video clip of yourself at the beach with the campground in the background and exclaim in your usual cheerful voice, "Greetings from Camp Pemi, Sis-Boom-Bah." I will then make a $100 donation in. your name to an environmental organization of your choice. It's at that camp 49 years ago, where I developed a life-long interest in the White Mountains, an area I still visit (travelling from Michigan) at least twice a year. Just let me know which vlog entry and the environmental organization of your choice. Cheers, PaulF
Hey everyone!! Thank you all for being so supportive ❤️❤️ I love making these and I love being out here - it’s so nice to know that you all are enjoying following along!!
Definitely following Aquaman. Please keep em coming as long as your safe out there.
I'm in awe man! Keep it up.
Anyone ever tell you that you were crazy ? As long as you're having fun that's all that counts. Killing it Dude.
Your videos get me so pumped to winter hike
Be safe Aquaman!!!!
Dude. This is INSANE. I am LOVING every second of your videos. Please never stop and make children who are as cool as you.
This is the most important hiking video in my opinion. You obviously have a tremendous amount of skill and experience with winter hiking. To have someone like you say it’s ok to abort a hike and try another day was a great example of what experience truly is.
-30 and wind blowing you off the ridge for 3 miles...you definitely made the right decision. Being safe and smart will get you to Springer. You're doing amazing considering the constant cold and weather. Thanks for filming for us. Be safe
As an avid backpacker who has done Winter trips in much more mild conditions, hats off to what you are attempting! You are truely insane but I love you for it!
Its amazing seeing all of the shelters that i stayed at covered in snow! You are doing outstanding! Happy trails!!!
And Aquaman says "Blizzard can slow me but it can't stop me!" Love this channel Scott, thanks again! 👊🏻
You are amazing. Tell yourself that. Think what percentage of people even consider doing what you are doing. You are brave and courageous. Keep it up, dude. We are all pulling for you
Your use of arbitrary was spot on meaning, "based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system". Remember one wrong step or decision can be the end of your hike. God speed, stay safe and looking forward to following you on your journey........... :)
You are one crazy SOB! I say that with the greatest respect and admiration!! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this epic adventure. I watch a ton of AT thru-hike videos, and nothing else compares to your experience! I look forward to watching every video! 👍
Arbitrary is the perfect word when hiking the AT in blizzard, doesn't matter which way you go, you're still there! Enjoying your epic adventure!
Amazing to watch this “Olympic” level event!! As a SAR volunteer it’s great to hear you discuss your thinking on difficult sections. Understanding the situation, knowing your equipment and yourself, having a plan B, and willing to take it. I hope people learn from your wisdom. Be safe and have fun!! We will be watching!!
Awesome content! As someone attempting to follow my dreams as an aspiring astronaut, I hope you continue pursuing your dreams!
There's snow one like you, Aquaman! Stay safe and pushing up to the edge, but not over. Loving your attitude, honesty, humor! It's infectious (but in a good way!). Hope to catch you on trail!
It's official. You win 2022 Badass Hiker of the Year award.
You are awesome and My favorite AT thru-hiker ! Thank you for sharing your incredible adventures with all of us. Please stay safe out there.
Man,.you will do anything to see Franconia ridge twice in one thru hike, won't you? Lol. You definitely made the right call on that one.

I first hiked the ridge in 2019 and have made it a pint to go back every year to rehike it.
I was doing Dismal Falls to Pearisburg VA during that huge snowstorm!! Love the emptiness of the trail during winter.
Awesomeness! That was one wild traverse from South Twin over to Lafayette, huh? Man, you did it in a blizzard! Phew! That wind looked pretty wild. Great call on knowing when to back down, though. As the saying goes, “the mountains will still be there tomorrow” and obviously safety is paramount here. Yes, perhaps the decision was “arbitrary” as you say but, more importantly, it was about self perseverance and preservation. Great job! 👏
You absolutely made the right call on Franconia Ridge. Your journey so far has been inspirational and I am rooting for you all the way!
I'm amazed with each video I've seen! I feel cold just watching your videos! And climbing in these snow covered mountains in snow shoes must be a much need skill! Wow!
Your strength and determination is off the charts. Your positive spirit is wonderful. Great that friends can hike with you / meet you on the trail.
I sit here watching your video and I really can't believe that I am seeing this. Thank you for posting these videos of your adventure!
I got to stay at the old Guyot shelter right before they tore it down and built the new shelter.

Seriously, I have no idea how you don't get turned around. I am so enjoying your journey!
I was under my covers while watching this, and the sleeping bag update made it feel like I was next to you ❤️❤️
My sons and many friends and family have done more than mine years of -10° day time to -20°+ night time temps. Love not having bugs or the crowds.

I appreciate seeing a smart, safe hiker, and the decision you made was both.
That looked like an Antarctica expedition! Sorry Franconia Ridge was impossible, but so glad you got down from there before you really got in to trouble! You're amazing.

Mrs. DILLIGAF
Good call...survive to hike another day. Thanks for taking us along!
Glad for your updates. I'm relieved and happy you made it thru the arm and Mahoosuc Notch!
Don at The Cabin.
I made it!! Fueled by pasta and beef stew :)
Jeremy doing funny stuff and you cackling at him was prime entertainment
I mean this in the most respectful way when I say, you sir, are a savage! You're killing it! Best of luck.
“Hanging out is hard”… quote of the day! Just plain epic. OMG…the views…winter for the big win! Beginning to appreciate the chore of getting water in the winter. “Not today” = wisdom x 10

Amazing! My husband was watching with me and just kept saying NOPE! 😂🤣😂 Your mental attitude is definitely an inspiration. Keep it up! 🏔
It’s so awesome to see your positivity, your thought process, and you good decisions!
A must read: Ty Gagne's "The Last Traverse" . You survived The Franconia's! probably worse than Mt. Washington weather.
I have been waiting for someone to upload a video of hiking during that crazy snow storm! Thank you!!!!!
You made the right decision, Scott. It was smart to turn back for a time and smart to know how to reframe the situation. Much respect to you.
My daughter and I were on the Ethan Pond section this past summer. It sure looks a lot different and it was much more comfy enjoying our dinner on a beautiful night. It was great to see your friends smile and laugh while trying to get those socks on. Glad you had good company for a few days! Good call on coming down with the bad weather. It's be there for another day.
You have a great friend in Jeremy. I love all the laughter.🦋 ❤
Amazing job and a very smart choice. That's no place to be in a storm.
Almost in my back yard. Hope you have a safe trek over Moosaliuke.
Every time you dance, I put on Disco Inferno.
Great videos
I heard about your hike from Ramdino's video and thought I'd come check it out. WOW! I can't wait to watch the rest of your hike. When you get to PA, hope to see you out on trail!
Wow! That was intense. Glad you made the call to abort your plans on Lafayette. Great vid. Thanks for sharing.

You sir are a rockstar. If I run into you on the trail I will have you sign my pack ….
What you’re accomplishing is staggering. That terrain is super difficult without snow/ ice. It occurred to me that since I’m starting AT 3/1 at Springer, if I survive I’ll see you on the trail.
Keep it up and I feel like you'll be skipping and dancing down the trail once it's no longer covered in snow! Very inspiring!!!
Pretty good call. The Ridge is tough, and unyielding in that kind of weather. No sense joining Guy Waterman up there. Your video style really captures the feel of hiking in those conditions. Makes me want to be there too. All the best for the next few miles until you’re past Moosilauke. It’s clear sailing from there, man. I look forward to your posts!
Such a fine line... the decisions you make... to stay alive to hike another day. It is all meshugaas to me, but we love watching. Stay safe.
You got this! You're a warrior ! I like your sense of humor.
You are one tough SOB. Stay safe . That is a sweet shelter.
Another EPIC Winter Vlog along the AT! Thank you!

Man, you are truly my HERO!! You DID make the right call. Great job, stay safe!
A lot of hikers run to town because of a little bit of rain in summer. I’m loving this rock on!
You are doing awesome and you made the right choice. Safety first, but still badass.👊

Is that your trail name...Aquaman? It makes total sense after seeing you through all of the N.East river crossings... and man oh man....this is all so beautiful!!!!
wow...
and thank you again for bringing us along!
Wow beautiful views!
My idea of roughing it is to be somewhere "off season" in a Marriot Hotel.
Scary!! So glad you turned back for now.
Crazy to be out there. I struggled in the summer as I tried to heal my bum leg. I tell the story in my new book “Only When I Step on It”. Can’t imagine the wind/cold. Bravo!
Trust your gut feeling, right call and glad your ok to hike another day.
You are mountain wise, and with that wisdom keep others who watch this safe!
This place scares me in spring
Winter is insane
It's winter. You're in the mountains. Glad you are laughing. I know it hurts, physically. Be well.
I am increasingly curious of your gear! As I watch you fight the storm I have to marvel at your jacket....and your camera. The fact that it takes such a beating and holds up just amazes me. What brands?
Surprised no fire ring going, luv the videos
Aquaman!! You are an amazing hiker. Have you been trained in mountaineering? You make a great choice to turn around. Live to hike again. Do not freeze. Nice trail and you are enjoying and great attitude .Blessings and safe hiking
The badassery is only eclipsed by your stoke, positive attitude, and wise decision making. Stay warm the next few days. Winter decided to show up for real this week.
OMG!!! I would be totally lost!!
Wow! Incredible!! GBU
Holy crap. I’m from New England and have been in conditions like this. Very impressive. Glad you didn’t freeze your brass balls off.
Smart move getting off the ridge in bad weather. I'm In N. Woodstock, a few miles away, if you need any logistic help.
Hey Scott my heart is pounding watching your videos. I checked the current wind/chill/temperature it was saying-15° temperature, Wind speed/gust 85 mph making it -58°😱🥶
I walked this over the summer and it was really hard, I just can’t imagine. Impressive, irrepressible, and inspiring.
Love these adventures and your determination!
Wish I'd hiked the AT when I was young. Thanks for uploading this. Easy to see how fatal it could be.
Scott--in a few days, not too long after Moosilauke, you'll be crossing NH Route 25A (not to be confused with Route 25 or 25 C) and headed up Mt. Cube. As you cross 25A you'll see a small public beach on Lower Baker Pond, with a summer camp on its opposite side. Include a video clip of yourself at the beach with the campground in the background and exclaim in your usual cheerful voice, "Greetings from Camp Pemi, Sis-Boom-Bah." I will then make a $100 donation in. your name to an environmental organization of your choice. It's at that camp 49 years ago, where I developed a life-long interest in the White Mountains, an area I still visit (travelling from Michigan) at least twice a year.
Just let me know which vlog entry and the environmental organization of your choice.
Cheers,
PaulF
Crazy ….fantastic….thank you!
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing.
Hugs to whoever made this shelter
Awesome gorgeous scenery…be safe
Are you going all the way to Georgia? I'm leaving on the 15th of Feb from Georgia
. Hope to see you, friend!
It's that skukumchuck? Good call bailing. You have a great attitude. You got this bro.
