Candy Mama here! yes this used to be a couples account with my husband named "THE DOWER DUO". We have since rebranded it to feature my individual adventures.
a little about me~ wife first, adventurer second! I have thru hiked the Appalachian Trail and Mountains-To-Sea Trail. I am the fastest person to ever hike the Mountains-To-Sea Trail spanning the length of North Carolina. 1175 miles in 29 days! I've also set FKTs on the Benton MacKaye Trail and Colorado Trail. I enjoy creating wanderlust content and trail running!
I hope you enjoy!

    If you’re reading this in 2024 please go ahead and call the cops if there is someone sketchy and threatening others. Whether the police are going care or not isn’t what you should worry about. It is possible that the call could save someone’s life. MAKE THE CALL. Just do it.

  • @thisbeem2714
    @thisbeem2714 Před 6 dny

    I appreciate the more informative presentation than merely hiker experiences. So many are positive and therefore misleading. Some influencers won’t even call them a cult, which is very obviously what they are according to the definition of a cult. I recently watched a podcast where the two hikers were saying they wouldn’t call it a cult and had good experiences there. They encouraged doing one’s one research, which is great, but putting such a happy face on the twelve tribes made me very uncomfortable.

  • @TheSerenityhuck
    @TheSerenityhuck Před 6 dny

    I have to say, it's baffling that personal protection isn’t considered on a hike of this caliber. You are encountering strangers down on their luck, in the middle of nowhere, not to mention animals that can easily have the drop on you. The natural world is not for the weak. Get comfortable with weaponry, and learn how to use it.

    So you had an encounter in 2019. Ive known them for 25 years. LOL So, I guess I have a far more educated knowledge of them. Their beliefs are no different then any other Christian fundamentalist group and far less destructive than mainstream religion in America at this point in history. You think that not self indulging in what you consider "normal" or "standard" behavior, is problematic. So, in a nutshell. You are your own cliche. LOL I have been licensed as a hypnotist for close to 15 years. A practitioner of NLP for over a decade. Thing is, everytime people like you try and "expose" groups like this. You are in fact using the very same tools you say they do. Its like the deprogrammer. LOLOLOL They dont DEprogram anything. They PROGRAM the person the same way they tell them they have been programmed by others. You cant provide a concrete and extensive investigation of concrete facts, just speculation as to what you dont consider the norm for whatever group you identify with. I call it the Glasshouse Effect. LOL

    I'd do an emoji if I knew how! My experience with TM is on the PCT especially Nor Cal and Oregon. We have been doing trail magic for about 10 years at three different locations. We provide cold drinks, fresh fruit and pastries, sometimes coffee but no cooked food. We also bring extra mosquito repellent (Oregon mosquitoes are notorious), wet wipes and offer to haul out trash. We also give occasional rides especially in "emergency" situations. We have never announced on Farout but on occasion hikers have posted about us. The biggest problem we have encountered in recent years is the proliferation of fee-based services such as shuttles masquerading as "trail magic". Otherwise it is all good - we enjoy meeting the hikers and hope we've made their journey a bit better.
