That little bear is so hilarious. I die laughing everytime. Me and my boyfriend talked about our bears....we believe our black bears are sweeter than grizzlies.
Watched twice cuz u guys are great! 😂 thank you so much for sharing your journey. ❤
Awh, that is so sweet. Thank you.
Very surprised at the number of international hikers on the trail. Who knew.
Enjoying your daily vlogs.
I know, we hiked with a Canadian, German and Norwegian yesterday. It is fun having all the cultures mix and makes me miss our travel life less.
I’m feeling so connected w/ you & when we meet I think it will be an immediate friendship. You’ve got the most outgoing friendly personality but the day at that downed plane really showed your heart & so very impressed that a 16 yr old felt & expressed his old soul thoughts.
Thanks. I am a deep feeler and can imagine the pain that family must have felt losing a loved one. Captain has seen a lot of sadness and heartbreak from traveling the last 10 years which has grown a great sense of empathy in him. He has also seen so much good in people and in the world, more good than bad.
❤ how you express your gratitude Jessica. Thanks for letting us follow along!
You are so welcome! I am so grateful for this life we have created and those who we get to encounter.
I don’t consider el Camino de Santiago to be a real hike, that’s just a nice walk on a pathway 💁🏼♀️
Love your videos and how honest they are by showing us the good and the not so good and the real struggles you encounter.
You are creating amazing memories with your son.
Sending love ❤
All hikes have their different attributes and the Camino is so special in its own way. I just loved it. Awh, thanks, honesty is always the best policy. Thanks for hanging with us.
So fun as usual! Thank you both.
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come!
Really great guys you rock.
We are from Maine and New Hampshire southern Maine and New Hampshire and now we live in Maryland. I miss Home. I miss the Lobster. Good luck guys.
I am going to eat so much lobstah when we get up that way!!!
@@WorldTowning you deserve it after that long walk. Please think of Diane and Maryland when you are eating it.
Put your sit pad under your air mattress at night for added warmth - every bit helps!
Good idea, but it is small and we might fight over it. Ha!
I’ll be following you guys, my nephew is about a week behind you.
No way, have him say hi if he sees us.
If you put a pad in the shoe of the injured leg to raise it, it doesn’t have as far to go to hit the ground and takes pressure off the whole leg. Make-up sponges work really well, but cardboard or even leaves would probably work too. I think I walked much of the same trail through GA that you’re on now and I took all sorts of things for my feet and shoes for blisters ,and blowouts of parts of my shoes and I used nearly all of it.
Thanks for the tip! I am switching out shoes this weekend so we'll see how that goes.
I am curious to see if the big snow at the beginning of April took you off trail much? I was in Erwin on my Spring Break then. It was a sight to behold! If you make it into Erwin’s downtown and go to Steel Rail Coffee Shop the owners are my cousins. Enjoy the TN Appalachia’s!!! I have the Camino on my list and like you, have hiked the Inca Trail, appreciate world travel and culture. Best wishes!
I just heard stories about people being trapped up there because the pass was closed and they needed resupply. We were still at the beginning of the trail, thankfully. Yes, do the Camino, it was amazing and a fun international vibe. Awh thanks, we love the world culture so much.
I’m ecstatic to watch this one, I’ve been looking for SNOW! Besides sailing, I love these videos where there’s lots of Snow and Fog, when I saw the great thumbnail this one went straight to the the top! You two are a great team for this, you’re both entertaining but together you’re both hilarious!! ❤
I know, we were wishing for snow and it was magical. Awh, thanks. Largo is so fun to adventure with.
What a cool experience you are gifting to ALL of us!!! It was so amazing to meet the people on the trail with you guys! Your videos are amazing!!! Oh and I’m sooo glad to know that it’s legal to wear deodorant on the AT - like you I don’t know how I would feel toward the end… you’ll have to keep us informed! 😁 Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us!!!❤
So happy that the vlogs bring you joy. Well, I just sent two days without deodorant and still not convinced I will go without, it is staying in my pack. Ha. Will keep you posted.
Love sharing your journey with you and Largo. It has inspired me to get out and hike and move my body. Love your channel👏🏼❤️👏🏼
That is awesome! One day at a time. You don’t have to go far, just go.
I am so enjoying your AT vlog!!! I'm one of those people who won't hike the AT (I don't want to be around bears; and I like the comforts of home), but your videos show what its like to hike! Thank you for great content!
Oh this is perfect. We vlog for those who want to do it one day, those who want to travel with us virtually and for our kids to have a video journal of their live and because WE LOVE IT! So glad you are finding value in it. Happy to have you with us.
❤️❤️❤️💛💛💛💚💚💚💙💙💙
ANOTHER AWESOME HIKE DAY
❤️❤️❤️💛💛💛💚💚💚💙💙💙
Thanks. Love all the colorful hearts.
Another great vlog! You two make amazing trail buddies. ❤
Thanks so much! We are having such an amazing time. It really is a gift to do this with Captain.
Enjoyed. Love the snow coming down
Us too, it was so magical. Now...bring us sun. Ha!
Thanks for sharing your adventures! I pray you stay well and safe all the way to Maine! ❤😊
Thank you! We will make it!
I don't get the deodorant thing either. I don't play that game. I'll carry the extra ounce, thank you. 😆
Loved watching your RV vlogs & sailing vlogs but I am loving watching your AT vlogs! ❤
Thanks. life is short. I think that when all is said and done, we won’t die rich, but we will have a world of experiences to reflect upon.
@@WorldTowning Amen! I used to take my 3 nieces on vacation every year. They went snorkeling, zip lining & kayaking all for the first time with me! Two of my 3 beautiful nieces have passed away.. One died at 20 from a pulmonary embolism & one was killed in an accident at 28. So grateful I have all those wonderful memories of them & all the fun things we used to do!
@@sandrap3047 What a great aunt! So sorry to hear you lost two of your nieces. Yes, to the memories. Big hugs.
Oh I’m a stinky hiker lol.. We don’t take deodorant backpacking.. to save that space in the bear bag and there were too many bears in CA where we hiked for years, so we learned to go as natural as possible. Hehe plus I need more room for toothpaste .. lol fresh breath is a must beyond that I’m a stinky hiker .. hehe I’ll put deodorant on if I get to hike with you sometime ❤🥾Happy Hiking
You are welcome anytime…stink or no stink. When in Rome 😳
Always taught to keep all scents to a minimum in bear country. Ditch the deodorant. It will also save you space and weight too.
Sunshine you are such a sweet and strong woman, I'm sure you know it already but it doesn't hurt to hear it again :D
That is such a compliment...sweet and strong! Thanks
I want to do entire thing,but can’t. I’ve done parts and it’s my thing. Clingmans dome is awesome, usually socked in but great experience. I look forward to your vlogs daily.
Parts of it is just as good! Loved Clingmans dome!! Thanks for joining us.
Great vlog and photography. I loved the interviews today. Two questions , are your shoes holding up to weather and terrain conditions? I only have used hiking boots/shoes to walk the Camino and via Francigena but found them hard and developped several +++ blisters within first few days. Have you and Largo developped any blisters? Also that tent seems very open. How does the tent stay warm? As usual great video, nice to see Will! Keep safe, looking forward to tomorrow, you are making think about doing the Appalachian trail now!!!!
Yes, they are holding up, but will switch to Altras in the future and will give a full report on them as well. We have not had one blister and we had a ton on the Camino.
The tent is warm and when we take off the cover it gets cold. Thanks for watching!
🦋❤️
Trail Magic every Saturday (Beginning of MARCH thru 1st week of June) Times are 8am-6pm next to the Big Laurel Branch marker over by Elizabethton, TN. Spread the word and safe travels all of you hiking the Appalachian Trail!
Oh, cool. I will share with other hikers!!! THANK YOU. You trail magic'ers are the best!
I thought the guy said the bagels were trucked in from NY?
yep, so cool. And they are delicious!
Just realized that your trail name should be Tennille….for obvious reasons hehe.
Ha, people have mentioned that on the trail.
Wondering about your Achilles. Are you wearing zero drop shoes? I’ve heard that although they are great, if you’re not used to it, and wear higher drop shoes, 3 mm heals, your Achilles and calf muscles aren’t as strong🤷♀️. Interested because I’d like to switch to low drop shoes myself. Love love love your adventures!
Start slowly getting use to them. Maybe even insert at first
Full update coming on this in a future vlog. Switching shoes today. I don't have zero drop, but my next pair are zero drop. Thanks for thoughts. Happy to have you here.
Silly question 🤷🏻♀️🤣🤦🏻♀️ are the trees dead or will the leaves come on as spring rolls on ?
some are dead and some will blossom, it just depends.
You know, I have been thinking about those people who lost their food to the bear, in yesterday’s video. When I hike the Appalachian Trail someday, I want to have extra food so that I can help anyone who needs it, regardless of the reason.
Great idea. We always have extra to share, plus even if someone has enough food it is so fun to say "hey, do you want a sour patch kid!"
What’s the average mileage count to finish in 6months ?? What was your average miles on the Camino ?? Can’t remember.
20 miles per day after a month or so with lower mileage. 12-15 miles a day was our average on the Camino, if I remember correctly.
I saw a video yesterday with a 71yo man from Hong Kong he has a blood cancer in is doing the thru hike.
Really? I must meet him, where is he on the trail. What an inspiration.
Does Largo take French and Spanish?
Yes, he is fluent in French, Spanish and of course English. He has 2 big exams in 3 weeks for French and Spanish. Fun, he has spoke French with several people on the trail already. So cool.
Where is Maine do you parents live?
Near the beach, but I grew up in Jay.
When I hike the Appalachian Trail, someday, I’m definitely wearing deodorant! And taking multivitamins! I think that I will choose letting icicles form on my toes, over wearing socks to bed, because I would be too busy scratching my feet to sleep, if I wore socks to sleep.😂
It is hard wearing socks to bed as I am not used to it and my feet want to be free after 10 hours in 2 pair of socks, but it is soooo cold I just endure. Congrats on your future hike! It is awesome.
Deodorant and smells attracts bugs. Better to smell than get eaten alive. I’ve watched a lot of people hike the AT most successful hike two days and stop for one (in town)
I would like that but our budget says NO. Ha! I am lucky the bugs don't like me yet, but they love Captain.
One hiker hitched a free ride & the lady turned in air & rolled down windows then first stop said sorry but have to drop her off. The smell was in her new suv & making her sick. How disrespectful of anyone to have BO in a vehicle. I think they overrate bo & should only hitch on open truck beds.
Four to five days hiking in the backwoods and even deodorant won’t help the stink. Hopefully most people that pick up along the AT are familiar with that aspect. 😉
I cannot explain the gratitude one feels when someone picks them up. I have not smelled that bad yet, but if someone dropped me off after picking me up I think I would cry my heart out. I would just apologize for my smell and hopefully they would understand. The smell is not controllable when we are living this way and we just hope people will understand.
That is what I am hoping because my day in the sun will come and I would just die if someone kicked me out.
Why bother with deodorant. Youre in middle of nowhere with few people around! If you stink in the woods and no ones around to smell it, do you really stink!
Besides, fragrances tend to attract bugs. You're too early for black flies but you're about to (or may already be given video release delays) experience a fresh hell! Hope you have bug nets!
You are right, but there’s a few things that I can not let go of. Maybe as the hike goes on, but for now I will live the illusion that I smell better with deodorant. 😆
Of you dont wear deodorant in jail....you are liable to get your butt whooped. They make outdoor deodorant. I wouldn't wear axe out there. Pickles make us happy.
Jury is still out on if I keep the deodorant or not. Will keep you posted.
