I’m getting ready to take on the trail in November 2025… you mention in this video that it’s early Fall… October? What months did you hike the MST?

Thanks for this video. Hiking this section in a few weeks and I can't wait! Lived and worked at Pisgah Inn many years ago and it gave my heart a lift to see it again from that view.

My gosh yes. Rain gear good grief. Water is just such an inexorable force. Pretty much everyone has conceded defeat but I'm trying a light weight rain suit in conjunction with an umbrella to reduce exposure and prolong wetting out. Managed to get it down to 15oz total. I don't know. Ill try it.

Wow. Your video started playing without me knowing what it was, I never heard of that trail. Going to look for more e of your videos. Thanks

Need try pan fried livermush with egg cheese and Dukes Mayo on a bun. Life changing

My view from Skierfe was similarly disappointing. It was a major goal of my hike tho. I hope you figured out the cross country shortcut that avoids going most of the way to Aktse. That’s a lot of unnecessary up and down! Kings Trail / Kungsleden kzbin.info/aero/PLZagpVwkLMBSvrJq1AHrRoA5HQqrE92vy

Jay Wanders Out videos for Kungsleden are outstanding!

Your assessment of the rocks’ impact on hiking pace is right on. It’s hard to get a rhythm going. I fell 5 times almost exclusively on wet rocks. Kings Trail / Kungsleden kzbin.info/aero/PLZagpVwkLMBSvrJq1AHrRoA5HQqrE92vy

I had lunch at Kaitumjaure at the same table. Next time, I hope my hiking day ends there so I can have dinner and breakfast with that view! Kings Trail / Kungsleden kzbin.info/aero/PLZagpVwkLMBSvrJq1AHrRoA5HQqrE92vy

I thought the valley north of Tjäktja Pass was awesome. You are pronouncing it as well as any non-Swede could pronounce it. Kings Trail / Kungsleden kzbin.info/aero/PLZagpVwkLMBSvrJq1AHrRoA5HQqrE92vy

It rained on me “only” 10 days of my 24 days on trail. I felt lucky! Lots of cloudy days. Views when sunny were unbelievable. Kings Trail / Kungsleden kzbin.info/aero/PLZagpVwkLMBSvrJq1AHrRoA5HQqrE92vy

I loved the view from Alesjaure! Kings Trail / Kungsleden kzbin.info/aero/PLZagpVwkLMBSvrJq1AHrRoA5HQqrE92vy

I hiked NOBO from Hemavan to Abisko. What do you think? Which direction is the preferred direction? I’m planning to do it again next summer. Kings Trail / Kungsleden kzbin.info/aero/PLZagpVwkLMBSvrJq1AHrRoA5HQqrE92vy

Why not stay in the shelter?

I wish you were showing the huts in much more detail especially including the inside of each of them.

That's the Linn Cove Viaduct around Grandfather Mountain.

How many miles did you average a day?

Your smile is contagious!❤ Beautiful hike!

Mid-century, we courted on Water Rock Knob: no walkway, no pavement, no structures, just a gravel parking area. It was private especially at night. A ranger came one time, blinked his lights at us, and resumed his patrol. The world was wilder then. I had to lay her ashes there 60 odd years later. Good grief, I miss her something fierce - her and her mountains.

Really enjoyed your video. This area is close home and it was fun seeing your reaction to landmarks very familiar to me.

Water Rock Knob is where she first kissed me. Also, where she claimed me as her own. Also, where her ashes rests now, 60 odd years later. Wonderful mountain girl, then wife for those 60 odd years. I miss her something awful, miss her mountains, miss her voice, miss the exuberance, the straight and narrow that she lived. What I would not give to see her again.

Having fun plugging some of the place names into Google Translate to see how they sound (and who knows how accurate THAT is...). And thank you for naming the places you're passing through. Have watched a couple of Kungsleden vlogs where no proper names are mentioned, and without being able to follow along, it all starts to blend together.

What a cool way to do the trail! I was thinking the flat parts would get pretty boring, but a bike would be awesome. Thanks for recording it.

Would you recommend starting late September for an eastbound thru hike? Or do you have other thoughts?

I'm thinking of walking this section. What shoes would you recommend? What about drinking water? Thank you!

Thanks for the video. I am doing MTS out of asheville in May. I was hoping for a few more campsites near asheville but thats the way the cookie crumbles.

those deer! WOAH

Did you follow this on an app? Or was it very marked?

Glad we tuned back in to see this new adventure, and you still have the hat (love it). Mine fell to pieces and will break in a new one.

😁

Jenifer - I know exactly where you were when those views opened up. What you probably did was take a left (north) on the Green Mountain trail at the 4-way intersection, which takes you to the Fork Ridge viewpoint that overlooks Mt. Hardy and the western Middle Prong wilderness. Since there are no trail blazes because they aren't allowed in designated wilderness areas (I never understood that - confusing trail junctions just mean more manways and unofficial trails, which is worse for the plants and soil erosion), it's easy to get turned around. When I was there, I went there on purpose, following my Gaia app. To stay on the MST, you should stay straight and then at the next trail intersection, make a left and stay straight. It's kind of hard to describe though, so it's probably best to look at a Gaia or other hiking app. That's how I kept from getting lost. Anyway, you probably figured it out by now and at least you got to enjoy some beautiful views!

😁

I’ve watched every one of your videos. Thanks for a superb effort. I normally get bored when viewing such a longer series, but I guess your personality had me hooked. I’ll be doing the MST in April and try to watch every Vid out there to glean even a smidgin of knowledge about the trail. Still haven’t decided on an Eastbound or Westbound trek. I’ll be 80 y.o. for the hike so westbound may give my legs/body that extra build for the mountains. I Thru-Hiked the AT in 1998, but I’m pretty sure the old frame isn’t quite the same! THX again for a great rendition. VIKING AT98

Hi, I am planing a thru hike of MTS this Spring. What hostel did you stay at in Asheville?

Love your music choices. Mud! Have you been on the AT up in Vermont? Now that's mud... Looks like you're still having fun, though.

Jen. I am a biker. Have enjoyed 😅 riding along with you. Looking forward to getting back on trail.

Jennifer...I've really been enjoying following you. The intimacy and humanity you project in your narrative show you to be a wonderful human being. You're doing great...loved your comments about your camping with the school kids.

Hello Jenifer, I'm enjoying watching your videos, I'm only going to watch NM then watch the remainder when I start later this year. Could you tell me when you started please

I really liked the scenery on this bit, people often mention the Gila river for NM but those volcanic formations are amazing 👌

Whoa! 🐻 🧸 🧸

The no bikes sign was a let down. I dream of my first mtb tour. Which is why the CDT and AZT are on the radar.

I really like your attitude and demeanor on the trail. Laid back and take it as it comes. Your lingo, vocabulary and dialogue. You sound like me. The things you stop to look at and share like flowers, mushrooms, snakes, spiders etc, makes this trip fun to watch. Those are the things i (we all?) go out to enjoy on their turf. Fun stuff glad i found your channel. Because i may never do any AT or east coast in my life. So much PCT , CDT, CT, AZT, Uintas, Sawtooth …. For me being out west.

Did you build a spreadsheet of the daily mileage, camp sites, food stops? Getting ready for the trail next year :)

Beautiful journey. Thanks for alowing us to enjoy it with you.

Pretty place. Thanks for sharing. From Virginia USA.

42 and rain....wind ....but your day ended warm in a tent.....amazing......professiional hikers.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for taking us with you. 😊

Bravo! Thanks for taking us on another great journey! What do you have your sights on next?
