I miss you out here!

@@surfandstreamfisher5749 for sure!!
We miss you on the trail in Maine. Please come back soon.
Hi Taylor! I was so thrilled to meet you at the airport and then to see you at Hawk Mountain really made my day! Thanks for being such an inspiration, have a great hike.
You go Taylor...the Journey begins....Chapter 2 🙏🙌
The joy on your face when you said "I'll see where the day takes me" - loved it!
I can't believe I'm sitting here with my morning coffee watching Taylor hike the AT again. I think it's real! 🙂
Me too!
Me too.... again!! Go Taylor!
Exactly 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Me four...
I am look forward to watching you do it again !!
Your husband is a lucky man! This comment being said purely as a compliment, with wholesome and righteous sentiment, zero "creep", lol. Enjoy your journey, stay safe, and thanks for the education! Godspeed to you.
I love seeing your joyful, positive attitude towards hiking the Appalachian Trail! It makes it seem like anyone could through hike the trail and enjoy the entire experience.
my wife is a out doorseee person hiker love your channel you have us on the edge of our seats we know the AT an so many other trails really like your channel ... keep up the good work
This is my favorite time of year. Spring is right around the corner and the AT thru hikers are starting their hikes and I can live vicariously through them. Good luck on your thru hike!
The fan base is quick this morning. Good luck Nahamsha. You got this!
Congratulations on another start! I actually don't mind the "boring looking" trails. There are lots of little details in the forest to notice. And, if there is some wind, you have the sound of creaking trees. Love that! All the best on this walk in the woods!
You have such joy and excitement in you face. So glad to follow you. Being a veteran hiker you can help and boost others on the trail with your great attitude and experience if needed.
I came across your vlog while following a handful of 2023 thru hikers. At first I thought I saw a notification for your first thru-hike, when I realized that you were back at it, thru hiking AGAIN this year I immediately subscribed. LOVE YOUR VLOGS! Thank you for sharing and the very best of luck to you. I will follow you in spirit all the way. YES, NAHAMSHA!!
Finally made it back to the start of your hike! Will watching them and keeping update with your currents! Lol Thanks so much for the pure entertainment!
LFG!!!! Never gets old watching someone start their journey! I may start rewatching 2021 day for day just for fun! Huge thanks to Chet for being so amazing and supportive. The snow has been so great up in NH, maybe there will still be some when you get up here! Thanks for the tour of Hawk mtn tent sites. Seemed like a great spot. 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well.
-Grateful
Mr Gardenier, great to see and looking forward to your comments again...hope you are doing well. Another great adventure for Taylor. I'm sure this will be just as great!
@@chuck7812 🙏 thank you Chuck! I’m so appreciative to be able to watch these amazing hikes unfold and have the opportunity to drop a positive comment now and again. My miles have been great this year, I hope yours have been as well! All the best to you and yours. Be well 🙏
-Grateful
Excited for you, Taylor! My wife and I found you early on in your last through-hike and amongst all of the many vloggers, have found your videos to be the most enjoyable, educational and real. We plan to do our inaugural hike in 2025 together. Wishing you the best from NE Ohio and nothing but good vibes for your knee!
And she’s off!!! I’ll enjoy watching your journey again … from my recliner! 😁 Be safe, have fun!
Whoo-hoo! Great to watch and follow again. Godspeed!
Ironically, I believe it was three years ago today I was at work watching your videos while everyone else was glued to the news about Covid! So excited to watch your journey again! ❤
I can't believe you are doing it again that's so awesome have fun and be safe good luck
Hello Taylor -- Sending all best wishes for this your SECOND AT trek. Good for you. Although I've never hiked the AT, I have bicycled cross-USA (first time in 1993, second time 1999) ... loved every minute of it ... both times. And I'm sure you'll be loving every minute of this, your second time around. Looking forward to following your posts ... again! So here's to a safe and fun-filled adventure. Be well ... and please know you have loads of people praying for your safety and looking forward to your daily reports. Cheers and hugs from Jan and Al Galletly (Ridgefield, CT).
Can not wait to follow your adventure again! Literally one of the nicest people on you tube! Safe travels and happy trails!!
Love seeing you filter water, putting rain jacket on etc….it’s so relatable and actually shows me what you need to do on the trail.
Thank you I'm so happy for you 👍❤️💖. Be safe and have a wonderful time.Ken NC
Dang I gotta go to work but baskets and I will put on tv tonight when I get home. Cannot wait to follow. We are very excited for you.
The algorithm just threw this at me and I’m so glad! I’d been following you along your whole thru hike in 2021. I had read a book about the trail back in 2017 and thought it would be a cool thing to hike it, but only when I watched your journey I was sure I was gonna do it. Since then I’ve been planning and I’m finally going to hike it next year. Thank you so much for inspiring me and happy trails again!!♥️
Whew! Dunks iced coffee. I was worried. Solid start. Good luck and safe travels.
What!!!! I didn’t realize you were hiking AT again. Yes! Can’t wait to follow along. Best wishes!
Good luck and smooth trails. Stay well and be safe. Have fun.
For some reason I really enjoy your name! Have a great day Dave!
Taylor, glad to see you on the trail again. I learned so much from you on the first trip. Thanks for allowing us to tag along. ONWARD!!
And so it begins. It is so exciting to see how this year differs from your last two.
Awesome!!!! Looks great on trail no rain !!!
Enjoy it , will be watching
About a mile after Springer Mountain is a crossing point full of vehicles and the Ranger. For some reason many hikers start there. At My Katadin the start point seems to be the commercial campground about ten miles after the Rangers. One hiker even left the shuttle in the town before Katadin and walked along the roads to the campsite. Skippers.
Enjoy. Be safe. Keep the videos coming. Thanks
Just watched your video about knee pain. Voltaren (diclofenac) is a topical gel that helps my arthritic knees. Comes in small travel size tubes. Just a thought in case the knee issue flares up. It might be an alternative instead of taking oral meds. Cheering you on and have great confidence you'll be in Maine before you know it!!
yayyy! excited for you!
Good luck Taylor! Happy Hiking!!!
An exciting place but definitely caution needed. It's not for the faint hearted!
Go Taylor !!! Safe travels!
Love your videos! Thanks!
Happy trails! 🙌
You're an ole pro at this...hike, vid, etc.

Taylor, I just discovered you, but you're an instant inspiration for me! My family and I did the steps and the approach trail today, and we met at least a dozen more duos and solos starting today. Keep it up! I'll keep watching you all the way to Kathadin!
Great seeing you on trail again Taylor.
Great series of the entire trail! I am planning to start where you did this spring with no hard goal in mind and see how far I can make it as a first timer.

Enjoy your hike
I'm so excited for you! You go girl! I'll be watching every day!
So excited you're back on the AT again!
My son and I camped at the Hawk Mountain campground last month on a section hike. We were the only two people there. It's always awesome but strangely eerie being the only people in a place designed for lots of people. The next day we found out that the Hawk Mountain shelter and tent areas surrounding were completely packed, so I'm glad we chose the campground.
Can't wait to follow your journey north, again,
So excited to watch this hike in real time this time around!
Another journey begins! Wish you well!
Looking forward to watching your hike again. Thanks for bringing us along.
Good luck, really like your videos and your energy 😊
Enjoy! The new visitor center is amazing!
Looking forward to watching your second thru! I loved watching your first. ❤ Happy trails!
Awesome….its like i traveled in time….you are going to be very successful
