It's great to know you're following along. It was a pleasure meeting you! I hope that this meal helped fuel the rest of your journey Veggie! Great times on trial!

Yes, better now Dan. I'll have daily videos through May to catch everyone up on my journey. It's been a long strange trip and it's not over yet! The wilderness still calls.

Thanks Dan! Its going to be awhile before I look that good again.

You know it! I believe it was the garlic aioli! 😅

Maine.

Hey Jukebox! It is interesting but I wasn't able to link any of the initials or dates inscribed like I hoped. Sry I missed you the other night. Go Bills!

I'm glad you're enjoying the journey. 😊

Maine was such a beautiful part of the journey!

Me too. Gives me chills. The good kind 😇

These meals made the difference in morale! I was hoping to find more but it seemed to be hit or miss on most resupply. How was your PCT hike in '24?

This was one of the best days on trail (magic) Flapjacks '22 made cheese burgers 🍔 to go for everyone' on the way out after feasting for hour or two on all sorts of goodies!

Oh sunny days with North Star 🌟

Thanks for watching! I appreciate you and hope you enjoy the next few videos. Happy New Year to you and Luna!

No need to cry over cheese.

On the AT, Near Grafton Notch. I'm not sure what mile Marker. 🤔

Not at Katahdin in this video.

Thanks for watching Dan! I believe this is the last day I see North Star on trail. Sorry for editing out all the witty banter. I'm sure you would find it amusing, you know her. She's often heckling me. lol

And I'm so thankful for that! You're a hot topic when I get together with North Star. We both like the attention Dan! And I think she gets a little jealous, lol. I hope you are well and enjoying the holidays.

Remi, I want to see you summit Katadin! I was very concerned when the accident happened. I nearly drove from Ky to NY to see you in the hospital. I was a little worried you might think I was some weirdo stalker or something. The year you hiked the AT was filled with adversity! From the loss of Remington to a crippling accident, you have persevered. I admire you.

@@g.s.ballard Dan is the man!

I don't disagree. I've resorted to using a small tarp suspended over the top in heavy rain. It defeats the weight saving, but I'd rather be dry..

I didn't camp with my dog, so I can't comment on that. Condensation is a battle for any single wall tent. It was the worst in freezing conditions but manageable. I'm now looking for a freestanding tent that might be best for a dog (less guylines) 🤔

I believe new owners? Linda was great!

I believe this is Bulls Run Bridge in Connecticut.

Thank you. I checked out for a while and missed all these comments. Merry Christmas and wishing you and family a wonderful new year!

Me too!!

Have you seen his pack? It looks like a gigantic whiskey barrel, covered in a rain cover. 😢

​@@Andy-x3i8y any guess on my pack weight?

@@g.s.ballard perhaps it’s the wide angle making your pack look really large. I would guess over 40 - 45 pounds total. Maybe more with extra water

You got that right Bear! I'm not sure about you, but I learned that I'm a fair-weather hiker that day! 😆

JB did you ever see any fireworks from Greylock? From what I recall, it was a pretty intense thunderstorm 😳 😬

Yes it was! And sometimes the only thing left to do is laugh 😃

Thanks Dan. I'm not trying to portray this as a negative experience, but a thruhike of the AT is very challenging under the best circumstances. I want to give a glimpse of how difficult it can be to take on mother nature every day. It's certainly not always rainbows and unicorns.

@AudreyOnTheAT this the lead up to all the flooding in Vermont. Omg...who enjoys wet hiking!? Lol. I'd like to know how everyone else handled it!? Zero? How many quit or skipped? I do know some badasses hiked right on through!

You're welcome. Thank you for following along and know that the class of '23 is suppoting you too! I'm jealous of everything that is ahead of you, if that says anything. Take it slow. Enjoy every second. Be safe! -Remington 🐾🤙

I appreciate your feedback. Stay tuned to see my attitude change to gratitude. Q- Are you aware of the record rain and flooding that occurred in New England in '23? Can you provide any insight into your experience with long distance hiking?

As a Class of 2023 AT thru hiker, the repetitive rainy days in the northeast were devastating to my morale. It caused many hikers to get off trail. It’s what all the hikers talked about because that’s what we were exposed to consistently. This is Remington’s daily vlog of the experience, so of course he would want to share his thoughts and emotions about the rain. Remi showed perseverance day after day hiking through the rain with wet feet, wet clothes, and a wet tent. The rain was part of the journey. Not every day on trail was a “happy” day. Remington, you showed restraint and grace replying to this negative comment. Keep the content coming!

Patients, grace, restraint, etc...things I've developed as a teacher. Lol. A tactical response to ignorance. Thanks for your support 🙏 NorthStar!

It's real. Raw emotions. Tough times. Hope all is well Dan! 🙏

Trail life can be an emotional roller coaster 🎢 as you well know. These last few days on trail were very challenging!
