i just finished watching this series. You have done something special. i have tried to watch other video series of the AT or CDT, but all of the others are about the hiker with the camera. they talk about how difficult the way and worn out they are. one fellow asked the same question, (your trail name, where are you from, why are you hiking), and i couldn't care less. you have introduced us to the lifestyle. you have developed a relationship between us and yourself and the characters that surround you. at the end of the last video i was sad to think i would not see mountain goat, rebel yell, and rigga anymore.
you have done a wonderful job documenting the trip, and i look forward to you next adventure.
Wow, thank you very much. It was definitely a life changing experience. I'm glad you enjoyed a taste of what it's like to hike it! I aim to do the PCT in May. We will see :)
B.H. That was cool.
Dixie drinking game - one drink for every "PURDEEEE!"
Two drinks for every snake. :)
Three drinks for every y'all
After watching a few of your gear videos. I saw your AT series. I binge watched it in 2 days! The AT is a dream of mine. One day the timing will be right. Awesome channel Dixie! I can't wait to check out your other trail videos. 👍
done binge watching all 44 updates!!! Awesome job Dixie
I just binged watched this again after a number of years. Congratulations again for this, your first thru-hike. II know it was many years ago, but sorry about your dog Sugar. I enjoyed meeting Rigga and all your Fam. Hope you still keep in touch with them after all these years. :)
Incredibly poignant moment as you ascended the final few yards up Katahdin. I would admit I had tears in my eyes as you finished but that would make me sound silly. Super Congratulations on your phenomenal accomplishment. And a huge thank you for allowing us to be a part of your great adventure.
+Vincent Miceli Aww, thank you! I appreciate all of the support I got from everyone. So many kind folks out there :)
"Purty" needs to become a new trail term. I enjoyed this AT "movie" way more than "A Walk in the Woods" movie. Thanks for sharing your amazing experience with those of us who can only dream of completing a thru-hike.
Really enjoy your videos, can't wait for your future adventuring to be shared with us.
Looking forward to future adventures.. filled with more sublime references, razor wit and enduring spirit.
Happy Trails !
I really enjoyed every one of your videos, including the roadtrip home. Thanks for the entertainment. You have inspired me. Pleasse take good care of yourself.
I walked the Boston trail. It was so cool. So historical.
Really enjoyed your thru hike. Best one for 2015!!!
Thank You Dixie, you are a warm and amazing young lady. You are right life is so short.I think I've waited too long to do thisbut I Loved following you on your adventures.
Congratulations Dixie! I watched all of these 44 videos and applaud your sticking to a long and arduous hike for all those miles in all that different weather and terrain. You're an inspiration.
As a born and bred Rhode Islander I was secretly hoping you would make a stop at Jerimoth Hill! It's no Katahdin but it's something, hahah. Thanks for visiting our little state! :D PS, your videos have been extremely inspiring to me!!
Aww, I did enjoy it! Thank you for the support and I'm glad you've found the videos useful :)
WAY interested in the PCT attempt !!! Am gearing up for my own SOBO hike in 2017... Watched your whole 2015 series last night. Have great respect for your honesty and positive outlook !!! Thank you SO MUCH !!!
Nice! Thank you so much. You doing the PCT or AT SOBO? Very happy for you!
+Homemade Wanderlust PCT SOBO ... Getting gear lined up Osprey AG, etc, n test hikes in area... Literally many dozen hikes to get gear up n running.... Watched all 44 vlogs in one swell foop couple nights ago.. Was pretty well thinking would Hennessy hammock this time, but am thinking that above tree line and desert hiking and for stormy weather, might like Big Agnes so I could sit up to read stuff on iPhone... Thanks again for you hike and for sharing with us newbies... Thanks Dixie !!!
I'd watch you travel anywhere! You have a way of making everything interesting - looking forward to more!
watched all of these. really inspirational Dixie. saving up for nobo 2018 and your vids helped me decide that.
2:11, you found my ancestor!
Dixie so glad you took the time to see Boston, my home town. So much history to see. Love your videos.
I binged on your thru hike videos the last couple of days. I will be starting my thru hike journey February 23rd 2019 and I am so excited. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing journey with everyone. You have given me a little extra inspiration. ☺️ I can't wait to see what you do next!
I just finished watching all 44 videos. I think it took me about 3 weeks. It was like a really intriguing novel...I just couldn't stop watching them! I laughed, smiled, and even cried at times. It looks like you had a wonderful adventure, and I'm hoping one day I can have that same adventure!
Dixie, I must say that I throughly enjoyed your series on the A T. What a feat you accomplished. I am currently watching your PCT and wish you ATB on that journey. Good luck and stay safe. Mike
Great Roadtrip Video Dixie! So nice that you enjoy the History! I'm from Rhode Island so I'm hoping you signed that register on top of Jerimoth Hill... I'll be taking a stroll up there soon to check it out! Keep the Videos coming!
You truly are AMAZING! I've watched all your vids. Ty for sharing your journeys❤️
I watched the whole playlist in a day. That looks like a lot of fun.
Still watching in 2018! Great job Dixie, you are a true inspiration!
Awesome to watch ur journey! Congrats on reaching ur goal!!!
I just spent my Christmas Eve watching all 44 videos of your 2015 hike. Once I started, I couldn't wait to see what was around the next corner, trail, mountain etc.. Nice job and thanks for sharing your journey with us!
My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed every video of your adventure! We are all hoping you post videos of future adventures. Best to you and thank you for sharing your AT experience with us!!
Spent the weekend watching your whole experience. I'm so glad you made it and shared it with us! I marvel at what you endured and still kept your resolve to keep going. Bravo!
looking forward to seeing your PCT hike! Thanks for taking me on your adventures!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! I stumbled upon your channel this past weekend and started binge watching the AT vlogs. You are such an inspiration!
An inspiration to say the least! Congratulations on your accomplishment. Thank you for sharing your journey on the AT!!!
Hi Dixie! I must say I was glued to this channel after stumbling across your adventure! I love the outdoors and you shared the best adventure ever across our beautiful country! I would like to congratulate you and thank you for making me smile and feel your joy they your wonderful videos! You are a true and professional outdoors lady! God Bless 🇺🇸Jeffrey
Thank you, Jeffrey :) I'm glad you enjoyed the AT thru-hike videos. I start the PCT in a couple months, so there will be more videos coming from the trail!
That's totally awesome! I wish I had the time off in life to do something like the AT hike. Best wishes getting prepared for your next adventure. I will surely follow you during the next one 🤙
Wonderful series Dixie. Thanks so much for sharing. Good luck on your PCT adventure. Looking forward to your PCT videos. Be safe
I hope that once you get home, get settled , get into a routine again, that you continue with some day hike or even a couple overnight hike video's.
I am doing my first thru hike in September. The Colorado Trail. A shorter hike, all I could have time for this year, but I'm so excited. I've been training for it, and watching your videos while I walk on the treadmill has been so inspiring to me. Thank you for sharing this accomplishment in your life with us.❤🌟
Just finished your entire journey. What an inspiration. I have accomplished many things in my life, anything i have set my mind to. I find it so impressive when people set their mind to something and finish at all cost. Such a long journey and such amazing memories. I love to hike and be outside. I have done many day hikes in the Va and NY area. Watching this sitting here at work makes me re think many life choices. But i know i have a job that i can provide and I am pretty ok with that. I get out when i can but wish i could do more. I very much enjoyed watching.... Not much for making comments like this but you are an inspiration to men and women everywhere. Set a goal and go for it. what do we have to lose... well done, and i look forward to watching more of your videos. I mean it when i say thank you. If you are ever back in the Shenandoah area you have a ride into town and re supply on me! well done...
Dixie, I just finished watching the last video of your AT hike. I found your channel after there were already 20+ videos posted. Since I binge-watched them I chose not to post a comment until the last one was finished. I just want to say that you did a great job documenting your hike and Whitney did a nice job editing and posting them. Thanks for taking us all along with you!
5:55 more rock stacks lol =P thanks for the journey it is great insight for my AT hike im gearing up for!
Just finished watchin this series in 2019! You're still inspiring new people with this channel! I will be using a lot of your tips whenever I do my next through hike. I have only ever done a 26 mile through hike but I have been dreaming of going on an extensive backpacking trip.
Hi Dixie! Thank you very much for sharing this with us; I really appreciate it. It is kind of sad that it ended because it feels like leaving a family member behind, but hey, thank you for the journey. Thanks again and good luck😀
I enjoyed your trip, what a fabulous memory you will have forever! I want to thank you for taking us along. I'm disabled and would never be able to hike that, but I'd sure love to. Instead I drive all over north American alone. Next year I'm driving to Alaska from Massachusetts. I like to push myself, but I can't hike on uneven ground. So believe me when I tell you how I appreciate the gift you gave me. Now I have an idea of what it's like. I was wondering why you and your family split up? I could tell at first it made you sad, but I saw you get stronger being alone...to me that's a blessing.
Well best wishes and God Bless...thanks again
Tracy
Great video you do women proud your video is the way it should be fun and real Thank You for your AT trail experience God Bless You
Boston is my favorite big city in the US, have been in the same graveyard where Ben was buried and also worked in a building where he was born just down the street.
Wow! What an amazing accomplishment. Just binge watched the whole series in just under two days. I laughed and cried right along with you. I only wish you had filmed getting back down from Kathadin.
I've wanted to do the same hike since I was in my 30's, but I'm 67 now with bad knees, so many of the parts would be impossible for me these days. I'm also very much a "loner" so not sure how well I'd do with so many folks around in those shelters and hostels either. Once did an inn-to-inn canoe trip in Vermont and drove all around afterwards managing to hike a few miles on some of the AT and it was all uphill!
Congrats on doing an awesome job and keeping on even when things were tough. Huzzah!!
Yay!!! You got your beach! Binge watched this and the PCT! So jealous and on to watch your CDT playlist! Haha.
So glad you got to go to Boston. It's such a great city!
Dixie! keep them coming, also looking forward to more.
You have made me start my preparation to Hike the AT. I've sectioned hike a few parts of NE but now I need to thru hike it! Thank you. So inspirational!!!
Thank you. Awesome! You should totally go for it.
You are one tough women Dixie!!! Amazing...
Most Excellent--Well Done!
HI Dixie I didn't even really know about backpacking until I came across your series of videos. Now I have been going on small trips. Hopefully soon ill be able to go on my own thur hike of the AT. Thxs for doing this cant wait to watch your pct trip
Dixie, Just binge watched all your videos over the past two days so I waited to comment until the end of your AT trip. I starting to section hike the AT this year. Learned a lot form your post. Thanks and you did good young lady. Great attitude, determination and contagious personality. Congratulations on a major accomplishment. Tim
+RedDogBushCraft TIm--thank you very much! I'm glad the videos were helpful :) What section are you going to start with? Excited for you!
Katahdin! Great job, Dixie!
I love that you did the Freedom Trail! I live in the Boston area.
Haven't seen this one. The first time I walked down the freedom trail in Boston the line was a painted yellow line. High School dropout, so was Albert Einstein.
Cool tour of Boston .. I'm going to do that .. thanks : ) Did you know you'd be on the PCT when you posted this .. Happy Tracks Dixie .. thanks for sharing your journey
Man that was so cool to watch all thim vids and you made it wahoooooooo,I live 30 miles from the noc and always wanted to hike but never did and now it's to late fer now I have heart problems ,anyhow loved all the perty stuff you showed,God bless.
Thanks for putting this series together, looking forward to my 60th birthday to start a thru hike.
Just finished watching your entire thru hike and now I totally want to do this one day! Hopefully I can at least do some section hikes this year to start off. Can't wait to see your PCT journey!
Thank you :) You should go for it! If you have any questions I'll be happy to help or you can check out the Homemade Wanderlust Backpacking Forum group on fb. Several of my veteran hiker buddies chime in on questions in there. Here is the link: facebook.com/groups/1028390340599375/
Congratulations on hiking the AT! Very cool series! I enjoyed watching, you're a total a babe. The world needs more gals like you.
Next you need to hit the CDT. I think you should definitely invest in a good rain jacket though haha.
I watched ever video and they were AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job........
Thank you so much, James! :)
I just finished! I cannot wait until I get the chance to hike the AT! You are so inspiring and I wish you the best of luck on the PCT! Also, it's so cool that you are from Opelika. I just started my undergrad at Auburn University this past fall and it makes me so happy to know that there is an amazing youtuber like you near me. War Eagle!
Awesome. I love US History.
honey roll tide I couldn't stand the auburn apparel in this series.. but what you did was incredible and very inspiring. I could never do it
I'm a year late, but CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You summit Katadhin on Oct 15 2015 i was planning my wedding and got married to my best friend and love of my life on Oct 23rd 2015 its and though its 8 days apart its kinda weird to think what we were doing around that time in that moment of our lives. I loved your videos i will continue to watch more my husband and i are planning our first overnight backpacking trip and though idk if ill ever trek the AT you have definitely inspired me to pursue my goals.
Wow u are from Alabama. So I am too and right now I m on trans America trail with 4x4 suburban. I'm on last leg to pismo beach California next weekend.
Nice!! That's awesome. Another bama free spirit.
+Homemade Wanderlust thanks Dixie.
I just finished your cat, pup, and now at videos!!! love them, can't wait to get out on a 2 day trip this weekend. Your videos have kept me busy during the last few cold and rainy weeks here in pike road al and have got me itching to be on the trail
A friend of mine is just starting his through hike. He's about 2 weeks into it. He lead me here, to your channel. I have a cold and watched the thru hike playlist. I am amazed at and inspired by your journey. Are you thinking of any other long distance trails? Wish me luck. I will tackle the Colorado Trail Summer 2017.
+RabidDingo12 Aww, hate to hear you are sick. Hope you are feeling better! Good luck to your friend. It's such an amazing journey! Send him a care package if you think of it. Only rule--no trail mix, haha. I would like to do the PCT next year..but we will see. So excited and jealous of your upcoming trip! I bet it will be amazing!
I am totally watching this as I play fallout 4. I was just on the freedom trail :P
Wow, Benjamin Franklin one of my favorite scientist.
That beach is where they filmed a scene from The Cider House Rules
congratulations again. love your accent, your citin to ha ha lol
Thank you!
You have inspired me so much. I am getting ready for a future long distance hike. Did you use a water bladder on the AT or water bottles only. I know water is abundant on the AT. thanks in advance.
+Jon Baatz
I used a bladder, and a bottle to collect the water. I also used another bottle to mix gatorade drinks or instant breakfasts. Good luck!!
Sugar-Flash in Quincy-Market :-D
Stamp duty was put on becasue the colonials refused to pay their war debt from the Indian wars, no taxation with representation is a spin to make it look good.
Farout man!
I loved the video it was great . maybe one day for me ? you did great Dixie. but how did you get down and back ? did you have to walk back down to a pick up point ? Take Care. and I wish your trail family was with you , all at one time. do you stay in touch with them?
Ok i have a question while you are doing your thru hikes is there a way to set up your tent in the rain without soaking the inside of your tent??
use the rain fly as a tarp. Set up tent under tarp/fly and put onto tent when tent is done.
Did you find the King's Church
40 states. ..when u gonna visit the rest?
Taxachussets.....been there,,,,never going back. Sad it has all gone Dem.
get a cannoli
41 sry
+A Al Good question! Hoping to knock out 3 more on the PCT ;)
Too bad Massachusetts has become one of the highest taxed, least free states in the union.
