You're emotional because you pushed yourself to do this and it is a huge challenge and you achieved it! We are all so proud of you and Largo! Congratulations on 200 miles!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Helen. It is a big push, funny how all these emotions come up, feels like pregnancy. Ha!
As far as noise from the pad is concerned, I found it wasn't the pad, it was the interaction of the pad and the material of the tent floor. I have 3 different tents and it only makes noise when I use a specific tent. I placed a Gossamer Gear Thinlight pad under it and the noise went away. You can use the pad for a sit pad and also as a wedge under your sleep pad for those nights when you're on a slope. Its a 1/8" evasote pad, Gossamer Gear isn't the only one who sells them.
Good observation. Wonder if poncho or clothing between tent floor and pad eliminates noise?
TY!!!!!
A piece of tyvac under pad might help
Thanks. I will try this.
Exhaustion, lack of sleep, limited food choices all contribute to emotional rollercoaster. So good to see you celebrating 200 miles! Hope you find some good sleep soon.
That is so true!!! More sleep is definitely in our future.
You two put a smile on my face with every vlog.
Get emotional,you deserve it. Yeah200!!!!🦋❤️
Thank you so much!! So happy we can bring you joy.
Way to get yourself through that day. "When your going through hell, keep going!" Churchill
Yep, only thing to do is keep going! Love that quote.
Thank you for your honesty in all this. I can only imagine how exhausting it can be even while being rewarding. Please make sure you are drinking plenty of water, it may help your energy. The flowers at 7:10 (I believe) are trout lily, if that's useful. You can see some of the beautiful little yellow flowers in the background as you pan up. Frighteningly, I'm starting to see the same animals you are in the logs! 😂
Ha, good another crazy mind. Yes, we are hydrating a ton, but will do more as summer unfolds.
Your music! I’m saving all of it for my future hikes! Especially “Braver” what a great song!
We are making a Spotify list to share as well! I know, Will is so good with the music.
Twist and Shout!
Beautiful hike day. The 200 mile mark with the highest point of the AT was awesome! 🩷🤠🩷
All downhill from here. Ha!
I like the terrain of the smokies better, it’s more green with all the pine trees! I love the emotion, let it flow!💜
It is beautiful, hard, but beautiful
The horrible hiss of deflating the sleeping pad, the sound of commitment in the morning. 😆 As for the trail reroute, sometimes the maintainers will do that when the original route is showing too much erosion.
Thanks for the share. Yep, that is a hard sound to swallow.
Congrats on the 200. I hiked around Clingmans Dome and up to the top couple years ago and cried when I got to the top too. Walking up the dome about killed me lol. You got this!!
It must be Clingmans, it has magical powers.
My Nemo Tensor is quiet and only has 4 days on it. My buddies' pad is like a bag of potato chips. I have to sleep with earplugs and he's 30 feet away in his own tent.
Oh I can relate!! Looking at different pads tomorrow.
After many nights of squeaking and crackling I replaced my Nemo sleep pad with a different brand. Best move ever
What brand? I am going to check out new ones tomorrow.
WooHoo 200 miles! Beautiful views. Hang in there Jess. ♥
8% there.
I’m afraid of dark too, and now our dog is .
I am working on hiking in the dark as I know it is magical from our Camino days. Good luck.
I work for a dermatologist here in South Georgia and I love the sun screen you use. We highly recommend it😊 I use it every day under my makeup as well and it does not burn my eyes:) Sorry you had a rough day Sunshine . Keeping it real is why I watch you guys ❤. ( Beth) Ps THANKS FOR SHARING 👍🏼
So interesting. I kissed a lot of sunscreen frogs before I found this one. Thanks for coming for the real.
Thanks
Awh, thanks. Ice cream money for Largo!
Sometimes greatness hurts…
Boy that is true!
You’ve quickly become a favorite of all. As a matter of fact we are looking for a sailboat to play in. Love sleeping on water & next yr I’d like to do the AT solo because my husband not only can’t but wouldn’t 😂 & then w/ my husband I’d like to sail around & first do the loop. Are you a looper? The coastal areas & inland canals. The group seem so fun. I’ve met a few when I worked at a post office near our local harbor.
Looking for someone to hike at least part of the AT with me !
Awh, thanks!!! We have not looped, so far we have only sailed outside the USA. Loops sounds cool though.
Im not skipping ads! Keep going beautiful fam!
Thank you.
You are making it look real and I love it!
Thank you! 😊 That is how we roll. We can't act. Ha.
Hope you get good rest. It’s so hard to be okay when exhausted.
But sleep does work wonders.
I love how you see animals in all the things lol and convince others of your find. Happy trails! You are doing great 😊
Do you see them? Notice I have not seen one that looks like a bear yet. Don't want to manifest that on the AT. HA
Imagine, Grama Gatewood had no trail or little trail, wore ked sneakers and used a burlap sack. A must read
I know, she was a warrior!!! So impressive
We are all so proud of you
Thank you my friend!
We were riding horses in the Smokey mountains. Saw about six beard. They were just running through the woods and ignored us
Interesting. I would die if I saw that many at once.
Great videos! For the pad noise, I watched a video where they use a sleeping bag liner. They put the pad in the liner. I haven't tried it but they said it helped a lot with the noise and also the feel of the pad when wearing shorts to sleep in. I have 2 pads both are 25 inches wide. I slept horrible on the 20 inch ones.
Oh good suggestion. I am going to try this.
Use coconut oil! Coconut oil is often cited as a natural remedy for sunburn. And if you may eat it and it is healthy for you, you can also use it on your skin.
We love coconut oil!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ 💛💛💛💛 💚💚💚💚 💙💙💙💙
KEEP WALKING -- KEEP TALKING -- KEEP GOING
❤️❤️❤️❤️ 💛💛💛💛 💚💚💚💚 💙💙💙💙
Love it!
Love your vlogs everyday and the ups and down. Have you thought about doing a gear review and list the gear you are using at the moment ? ❤
What's in our packs is coming when we get back on the trail.
Congratulations on 200 miles! You almost had me crying at Clingmans Dome! I hope you weren’t wiping your tears with your pee rag! 😆
HA!!!! Nope that is my snot rag, not much better though
I use a THERMA-REST . You just roll it out and it inflates by itself. Do NOT inflate it yourselves. It's use was directly on top of the snow and works well for three years. If someone whines that it may be a few ounces heavier.......... Hump the extra weight because your creature comforts are worth it. To quote a saying from the Thirteenth Warrior "It's heavy" and the reply "Get Stronger" .................. 😆 ........... enjoy
I just bought it and slept on it last night. I did complain about the extra pound, but it was so comfy and quiet.
@@WorldTowning You are now a partially enlightened one ........😁Keep up the good work ........ enjoy
I still want to see you guys do the Macarena!😂❤️❤️
On the list!
Since you do the chicken walk crossing roads, do the chicken dance when you hit the next mile mark. It would be so funny. 200 miles! Congratulations!!!!!
Putting it on the list!!!
Walk like an Egyptian !!
good one.
Love the song playing while at Clingmans. Braver maybe? Can you post a link
Will is making a Spotify of all the good ones!!! Coming soon.
I have ask about the KT tape for your knees. What part of your knee is hurting and does the tape really work? I need to try that!
Ok, so I had pain for like 30 seconds one day, was find the next, but panicked and put on after my next shower. Never another issue. Those who do have knee pain swear by it.
Now it's looking like not Europe at all !!
definitely not
What are those black straps on your legs. Do they prevent knee pain?
I had knee pain for 5 minutes one day, it went away the next day, but after my next shower I put them on JUST IN CASE. I was so scared about knee pain going forward, all good though.
how do you like the Hokas?
The jury is still out. I am trying Altras now. I will definitely discuss it on the vlog.
One guy says deflate it a bit. The trail rev is his name. He rushes thru the.trails....i dont like that. Earplugs lady. A jailbird's advice. I saw this one sleeping bag....he had a fur....omg...so cool.....in love with that backpacker.
We did that, did not work. But not giving up hope.
Is the trail well maintained and marked. It looks confusing in your videos
Very well maintained and marked imho.
Listen to the Motiversity or Don’t Quit YT channels. Short or long format vids. Are you a footnote or a legend in the book of your life? Grind harder.
Thanks so much for sharing. Love recommendations
Are you eating enough calories for the energy required on the trail?
Pushed my daughter in a stroller up Clingman’s in 1974 - good memory💕
No, we need more. Oh what a cool memory.
ear plugs? white noise thru earbuds?
Buzzoff by Exofficio make clothes for keeping bugs and sunscreen. No creams needed just the clothes. Good luck. Love your channel.
I don't want to not be able too hear what is happening outside my tent, but it may come to that. Ha
thanks
Bollywood please 🥰😘
Ha, I put it on the list!
