Love it! We stayed at Butter Gap our second night too and were treated to the most amazing synchronous firefly show ever! It was so cool!
Oh that would have been neat to have seen!
That sunrise!
That opening was absolutely spectacular! Wow! 🥰👍⛰🏕🌿🌲
You made this section look WAY too easy. Pilot Mountain and Chestnut Mountain just about killed me last week when I did this. 😂
Beautiful views! Thanks for sharing the trail with us🥾
Another great video! Thanks Braids!
Glad you liked it!
Opening scene, just WOW!
All the animals that came to meet you on the AT now you having a conversation with ants don't surprise me. Enjoying your hike!
Even the ants need encouragement lol
AWESOME video beautiful scenery you are amazing hiker
Great sunrise. 🌅👣😎👍☮️
Beautiful trail
love the ant show that was neat
I like that long sleeve camouflage shirt. It looks comfy.
@Mark Rebeor it’s a Smartwool base layer top. I have the same one 🙂
@@anotherpenny1942 Thanks, must be the 250 base layer.
@@markrebeor1000 it is.
Thanks for another great video.
This one is on my bucket list
Fabulous video!!! Thank you for sharing…..🥾🥾⛺️
You stand as a role model for all hikers, and especially for women.
IMHO, Other backpackers can take a page from your book when it comes to diet/food. Doesn't have to be cheap carbs.
In all honesty, I ate a lot more of the cheap carbs on my thru hike. It's tough to get better options on a long distance hike, but shorter hikes like this I definitely eat much healthier!
Looks like some rock scrambles for day 2 and more nice views. Happy hiking and god bless
Another beautiful day to hike! Thank you for sharing😊
Thanks for watching!
Nice shot of the Eastern Towhee at 10:10.
Great day !
Awesome video of the trail, it was really nice. Seems loaded with campsites, the shelter at Butter looks like it needs a little help, with lumber prices the way they are The forest service should wait a little before they tackle that project. Isn't that one of the areas that's having bear problems?
You cross the parkway BRP . Also, you cross pilot mountain road twice and an intersection. Another road 471. You pass trail 106 Farlow gap and 123 Butter gap right before the shelter. I was there last week. 🙂. It is a tough trail.
You haven’t seen any deer to talk to...Oh God I Lol every time you talked to them on the AT! Which was quite a few times.😂🦌🥰⛰🌲🌿🏕🐍
It was sad. No animals at all except some ants and a bird lol
😂
Some really beautiful views on this trail! What’s the info on that silver pouch you heat your meals in? That’s something new to this old goat!
It's called a cook pouch. I made it using a cheap car sun shade from walmart, duct tape and sticky velcro.
@@HikingwithBraids AHA! Hiking DIY! You should do a video on that Braids! Seriously! This could be the start of a hobby within a hobby! Any gear that can be DIYed saves $$$$! And I bet I’m not your only viewer who would be interested in occasional content like that! Onward!
Great videos. I just finished the ALT in 2 days. Should have done it in 3! Where was the piped spring near Black Balsam? I couldn't figure out where that was? Did you take the spur trail?
I can't remember the name of the trail but, yes it is on the gravel spur trail just a few 100 yards on the right.
Hey Braids! What kind of pillow did you use? It looks amazing to me!! - Chica
Oh I LOVE that pillow! I got it on Amazon - here's the link :) amzn.to/3P5OD6h
When did u start taking the turmeric does it help I just started taking turmeric hope it will help me glad u r having these great adventures and enjoying your self love u daughter 😍
I took it my entire AT hike it definitely helps. Love you mom ❤️
Just curious, I watched your linville gorge video. Awesom video by the way.. Which hike do you think is better regarding views and terrain? Linville Gorge or this hike.
Linville - at least the part I did. The Art Loeb can be pretty rocky.
@@HikingwithBraids ive hiked in the gorge and everytime it blows me away of how beautiful it is. Thanks for responding.
Does anybody know what the bird was? Possibly a towee?
Does that twnr zip up or always open like that ? Bc I be afraid snakes a spiders coming in tent without it zipped
Yes it zips closed so no worries of bugs
The little side trail to the piped water source before the parking area is it marked? I am planning to do the Art Loeb trail soon and curious about whether I will have to hunt for this side trail or not.
It’s not marked but you will see the trail on your right after you cross over the bald and start down. It connects back with the Art loeb trail if you walk the road a little.
@@HikingwithBraids thank you
Tent zip up I mean ?
For some reason I had Art Loeb confused with Art Clokey, creator of Gumby. What is Art Loeb's claim to fame?
He has a trail named after him.
