    What is Beer in Beautiful Places?
    Hi, I’m Maddie! Celebrating an outdoor adventure with a beer has been a long-time tradition for me, and I wanted to create a platform for like-minded folks to come together. In my videos, I cover all types of adventures and review beer! Topics include day hiking, kayaking, travel, thru-hiking, and life on the road. In short, if you would describe yourself as an outdoorist, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman, hiker trash, nomad, or dirtbag, come on along, this is the channel for you! Welcome and cheers!

    You are very talented with narration. I don't feel like we're missing anything. The hearts with the privy were hilarious, I know exactly how small things like that feel.

    Between your awesomely authentic narration, the pacing and editing of your videos, and the overall style, your channel reminds me of Homemade Wanderlust. I hope you take this as compliment because that’s how it’s intended. You and Dixie (Jessica) aren’t necessarily similar, but there’s just something special about your videos in a way that’s reminiscent of hers. Another excellent video!

      Oh wow I love Dixie’s videos.
      This is definitely a HUGE compliment in my book.

      Love how Maddy does her best to keep it real.
      Just love it overall.❤

    As a kid I used to work on my uncle’s farm during summer months. Every cow has a different temper but they’re mostly docile. First thing, never startle an animal, make your presence be felt by talking out loud . If they don’t notice you, clap your hands loudly while still talking loud, that will affirm your authority. Any agressive move of the animal must be answered with the same attitude but louder and swinging your trekking poles. Bulls have different attitudes but they’re never left in the same pasture with cows unless they’re kids because their aggressivity stresses cows and lowers milk quotas.

    This reminded me of my hike there in the 1900s 😆 actually 1994 ish. My husband & his best friend & I went to hike there. We somehow got off the AT trail onto a wide, muddy horsetrail. By evening we figured out we couldn’t reconnect with the main trail by dark, so we set up our shared tent & camped by the horse trail. Woke up the next morning to a syncophony of Mooing 😆 AND with a cow patty at our tent exit. They were all very curious apparently.
    Fortunately we made it back to the trail & looped around to that parking lot where we saw all the ponies.
    I love watching you pursue this goal. I had dreamed of completing the AT someday, but time & motherhood & now a crappy spine have gotten in my way.
    Enjoy all those moments in the moment.

    You did the correct thing with the cattle. Took your time, and didn't stomp through, rattling them in the process. The alternative was just to pop over the fence and have that barrier between you and them.

    I am so happy to have found this video. I am currently almost done reading a book by a guy that hiked the Appalachian trail in 2005...his trail name was Skywalker, and your videos have made the trail come to life for me. And he wrote about some of the places you mentioned. This is SO cool. The book is actually called Skywalker if you ever want to read it. LOVE THIS!

    I know you are proud of doing big mile days but please listen to your body. If your legs are aching, please do less miles. Stress injuries from pushing yourself before you are ready is a common hike ender. You will get to the point when it's all easy and the miles fly by without any pain. Please don't push yourself until you are ready. You have the right mindset! You make us laugh so much! 😂 Keep up the great attitude! ❤

    I’ve been slowly catching up on your AT adventure, and I love this one!! My husband raises cows on our farm, and most of them just walk away from you but once in a while he gets a crazy one, and he’s been charged before for sure. 😆 but that being said, they’ve never charged at me, maybe because I don’t “work” them (put them in the chute to give them medicine, make them move from one pasture to another when they need to, etc.). 😅

    Try grounding by walking barefoot on the ground preferably early in the morning when the dew is on the grass because water on the ground increases the ground effect on the human body to heal from the inside out. It’s free to ground yourself so give it a try for one month 15 minutes a day before you hike. The shoes humans wear usually have a rubber or plastic separator that separates the human skin from the earth. Also swimming or touching in a body of water grounds also.
