  • I put together this video documenting my entire trip on the AT. I went southbound and it took me 140 days. I documented the entire trip with daily vlogs, but this video brings it all together. All the info on my gear is below.

    I'm an older hiker, 70 years now and have hiked many a hikes on the AT. This brings back a lot of memories. I'd like to have this video play at my funeral. great stuff. tks for the memories and good music. I'd like to take a few more hikes before I go.

    I really enjoyed this. It's strange watching a southbound AT thru--hike. Most of the ones I've watched are NOBO - following the spring. Going SOBO, you are following the fall!

    Mattmoves!! Speechless. 😲 How did you EVER condense all your footage into this amazing clip.....you seem to capture all aspects!!! Having watched every single one of your "days," this is such a neat recap!! ☺️ So so happy for you....you worked so hard 👏 to accomplish this amazing goal!!
    Part of me wants to write something sappy and heartfelt....but the other part of me has no clue where to start. It was so special to be able to have a "feel" for the whole AT experience.
    As an older gal, I really appreciated your gracious demeanor and "keeping it PG13." Hahaha. You were always so kind and never whiney, no matter what the day held / who you encountered.
    Wish you and Elise all the best. ❤️ Always. Happy 👣 trails. Maybe we'll cross paths on a NH trail one day....⛰️.!! Thanks for every clip!!🏕

    Hi Soups! Thanks for sharing this compilation video of your AT through hike! I watched ever single one of your videos along your journey from Maine to Georgia. You know the AT kickoff will be in March 2023 at Amicalola Falls State Park, where AT alumni come to cheer on new through hikers. There will be vendors too and likely Nimblewill Nomad in attendance. It would be cool to see you Matt and say hello!

      I would have taken more days off in the northeast if I could do it again. I think I only took one day off from my start to NJ and that's just not enough. A day off every 6-10 days would be ideal. I'll make some more videos about gear and overall cost to hike the AT and then maybe vlog the long trail with my fiance.

I had some awful storms where I stayed dry, and other nights, I just stayed in a shelter to not even risk it. I wanted something UL that didn't cost a ton, and this worked for me.
