I know it's pretty late to comment this, but, if the kid is having medical assistant during the training, is being heard, observed and wants to keep running without external pressure, it's their right to do so (always learning to listen and respect their own limits and bodies). And I'm pretty sure from what I saw your kids are, from the youngest to the oldest, really outspoken about how far they are able to go at that moment and put the pin on it. Those who call child support, probably, saw a clip from one single video and were done, without any regards of watching the many times your little boy cryed his eyes out because he wanted to run also in the dark in that park, or the times he decided he wanted to keep running the marathon

Local sexy

For fifteen minutes in this video I was screaming at the screen "just take a damn rest day!!" 😂

My hat is off to you! You really went the distance and did something incredible by hiking the trail as a family.

I just completed your Appalachian trail documentary and wow rainier has grown!

36:32 dang 😭

When you were in Tennessee, in the Smoky Mountains, did you see any of the Feral people?

I THIUGHT I WAS GOUNG TO DIE ,, FORCECPTS

I just watched this after several years of not seeing your videos. Amazing to see the girls having grown into these beautiful, intelligent, confident women. Brilliant job, mom and dad

pct is waiting

Watched a vid of yours and thought what a great family. Then after watching a few more of your videos and hearing a few statements from you I started to wonder. Then after this vid I realized you are a delusional fool. It is 1 thing to risk you own health but totally different risking your kids health.

You were given a house & $45,000 from your parents and they cry about trying to be independent from them. 2 years later you've spent $31,000 and can account for $9000 and a few other things but the house is still a mess. You live rent free but moan you have to pay property taxes. No the bathroom IS NOT almost finished. I thought with all the running you might become strong & independent but no. What a disappointment.

What happened to you guys?????

also alot of marriages that end up in this state is due to either person wanting the other to mirror oneself. ex: during the cards segment, its as if Ben wants Kami to handle things the way HE would. But it has to be realized, especially if the goal is getting out of the cycle & getting to a place of a thriving marriage, that each person is their own. and they should be their own without repercussions. Kami needs grace in processing her own shxt & so does Ben & it shouldn’t necessarily be intertwined or include input from the other. SPACE. this also segways into love languages. which should be expressed to the liking of the other person & NOT your own.

whoa! this indeed is a vicious cycle.. long term marriages often go through bouts (short or long) of these & from what i have learned, through therapy, you have to get to the CORE (meaning tracing actions/triggers etc back to the very first thing that starts the cycle) and be ready to be COMPLETELY selfless in changing the action/s that starts the cycle. It often takes coupled & individual therapy, simultaneously… nevertheless, im intrigued & subscribed. HUGE thanks for the transparency.

“if you’re evolving as a person, then often the things that used to work start not working anymore”.. -Kami

Live these hiking videos!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Listened to the book on Audible. Found the KZbin playlist and now have watched your AT videos for the last few days. It puts my 9 mile walk, from village to town and back, to shame. Great to see the videos having listened to the book.

Rainier's first marathon! 🎉 Oh my gosh . . . knowing him thru your videos before seeing his birth is profound. Such a peaceful little guy. His beautiful personality was already showing in these very first moments. 😘

I could see this kiddo growing up to be a Navy Seal!

First off, thank you to all the positive commenters on this video, it is very nice to see and the family seems 0:04 wonderful. That said I have one complaint: I think its awful the way we treat children nowadays. They called the police on a boy who ran a marathon (even with all the precautions taken and supervision by this family)! What is wrong with people?! I swear people are going to start considering exercise as abuse now (not just from these health at every size delusional people). Its ridiculous. We ignore actually abuse and just make everyone else miserable with unneeded precautions. Especially kids. My whole generation and the one before has been ruined by this mentality. I can only imagine how much more healthy physically and Mentally Millennials and Gen Z would have been if we could have just been allowed to leave the house and move instead of just being behind a computer or TV all day because its all we could legally do without a parent (at least without the police getting involved). Whoever made that call, I hope you get shown for the Karen you really are and it ruins you.

Thank you for asking your dad to do this. When people step out of your life, it leaves a question of did we do something to cause this? A sense of loss. Though I may not like that there is no longer vlogs/podcast, i understand it.

I hear stuff like this and wonder how many stop because their kids turn 18 and realize they are entitled to large piece of the pie (depending upon state they are in) and were entitled to large pieces of the pie along the way.

I disagree with none of their business. Wellness checks are necessary; too many dumb people in the world whom sadly are able to reproduce. I know a lady who has 3 kids and wants 3 more for the tax money. She lives at parks and in drug buddy houses until they kick her out for hoarding or not paying agreed rents-originally with them- uses them to get stuff from people. It is a good thing to have a check. Its good to have a community that cares about children.

I had a friend in HS from Wisconsin that looked extremely similar to the daughter on the left. Her dad wasnt her dad so maybe shes related to you. Her mom was a nurse in the military and was adopted in Missouri. Shes 40ish now.

Corporate sponsors, tattoos, yep.

I can't do full i might feel super slow and left behind dont try this

Love you Odie! You are a legend!

Didn’t you do the AT with your entire family? Hard core stuff there mate

The kid running is so cute

Good stuff. Keep doing things right.

Rainier i saw your birth vlog and now you are " the marathon boy", Amazing, Happy and free. ❤

Which drains better for water crossings? Ventilator or Altra?

I just watch you hike video and now this one. I salute you but you lost me when you said you don’t waste money on health insurance. That is so irresponsible, we tax payers will have to pay for your health care if needed, or it will bankrupt you is needed.

Outrageous they would not let you take a kid that had rode on your back for over 2,000 miles not be allowed to finish.

This is not the longest hiking trail in the world

I don't understand why they wouldn't let rainier do the real finish. Quite unfair. I mean who made that call. Is this monitored by the government or something. Great job for the family. Whoo hooo

I was blown away by the editing. Love that father and son did it. Great job!

They look so out shape, unhealthy, bad diet full of sugar, brainwashing the little kid. Some one call the children protection services.

What an amazing experience for you and your kids!

I don't see how one can enjoy the journey when you're constantly dealing with all the issues the kids are going to have. Why would anyone do this with all those kids? 😮😮

What an adventure for yall ❤❤❤❤

Horrible.

This is abuse. He should be playing and growing, not this!

Just stumbled across you guys today and loved watching your incredible experience... I kept saying to my kids "Look, look at those kids! See! You guys could easily do a multi day with Mum!"

Eden girlll try vlogging again! your family is such a skilled bunch!

I watched your family during your AT , this is the first I have checked to see one of your KZbin’s. Times goes too fast. Your baby boy is amazing. Beautiful family

Awweee he looks just like Dove

Because of your reviews and reviews from other people I stepped into the world pf Altra. They have been life changing for me. I have a super wide foot and brown bones, torn tendons and pain all the time. These got and the 0 drop has made my life so much better . They are the best. The newer altras the toes cap don’t come off

What a blessing to be able to walk with precious little Rainer
