You bet! Glad you liked it!

Awww, wow, thank you for this, it’s nice to hear!! Best wishes to you and your thru hike journey!!!

Yesss! I love that shit too! Some of the rock fungus is so cool

Nah, home is where you make it. Home doesn't have to be a "house" as we see it in America. Nomads homes are wherever they're alive at the time.

@@Yugemos some strive for more than others. It is what it is

“It is not the Warrior's responsibility to judge the dreams of others, and he does not waste time criticizing other people's decisions. In order to have faith in his own path, he does not need to prove that someone else's path is wrong."

You say they have human rights and simultaneously want to remove any bit of humanity from them. No empathy or mental health care? no water, or a place to sleep? you call them a burden when we all know it doesn’t take much, and what will you be when you’re 80, mfers gonna be lining up to wipe your ass I know. Maybe only you should have to sit in your feces, maybe your caretaker is the same person you’re trying to keep down

@@jimilyoutdoors A person who worked for 60 years being a burden at 80 is a lot different than a homeless criminal.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Yugemosyeah? What’s the difference? Everyone has the same basic needs. You’re just assuming this theoretical person is a criminal, as if that means you should treat them like less of a human. Just the word “criminal” is so inflammatory I’m not about to have this talk, unless you actually have experience with the oppression of the system, I’m not gonna listen to you tell me about who is worthy of helping

​@@jimilyoutdoors My comment was way more nuanced than what you argue against. Let me tell you how I experienced the Glasgow shelter when I did the AT years ago. There was an alcoholic bum "hiker" who was getting into arguments, seeking conflict, yelling and making people feel unsafe. It was impossible to hold any conversation as he would loudly inject himself, trying to one-up any story being told (with other stories he had heard about hiking). This inconsiderate asshole took so much rest and quiet from us actual hikers who needed it. We had to be on guard about our belongings constantly. He continued to turn up at trail head shelters and was a constant nuisance. At least he did not stab someone. I am sure Sovereign had some very understanding tolerant hikers who were all too passionate about his mental plight and his machete right up until he used it to take a life. Now I have also hiked with a freshly recovering opiate addict. I admired him doing this hard thing while hiking the AT and tried to help him while I was with him. I hope he made it. So I don't "want to remove" anything from them. They themselves remove their humanity quite successfully (sadly). The ones who do so involuntarily should be treated, as I pointed out as well and you ignored. Whoever ends up wiping my ass will be someone providing a valuable service to society. It's quite insane and twisted of you to compare them to the voluntary homeless who waste other peoples resources. No one is beyond redemption and I hope such people can actually become productive and functioning members of society. We should help the ones trying to do so in fact, within narrow parameters. What you are doing however is enabling their demise, looking the other way. Blatantly glossing over the self determination of the people of Glasgow about what happens with their resources. This makes me wonder how many resources you yourself have provided to others... It surely does make one feel like a good person though. But upon closer reflection it is moral weakness to fail to protect what is good. The AT has seen various resources vanish already due to the burden of such people and your ilk looking the other way out of cowardice and moral confusion. I hope you reflect on this and wish you well.

@@wio2189I’m not gonna break down every point you’re trying to make when they’re filled with presuppositions and bad faith, personal anecdotes. You just hate poor people

It’s not unique to the trail, so I’m not surprised. It’s not extremely rampant, I’m just highlighting my experience. It’s not super uncommon either though. I’ve had maybe half a dozen similar experiences

Like I said, fear and ignorance.

We’re on public land, you want the people who are forced to live in public to go away? Give them homes

‘Use these spaces the same way you do’ yeah that means a shelter established to support long distance hikers should be used as such. They aren’t housing.

So homeless person equals unsafe? Lol

​@@ETAisNOWso where should they go? Lol

That’s awesome! It looked hilarious, def wanna check out some of their stuff. Do you have any recommendations?

There’s a lot going on here. I might do a video after the trail talking about trail culture and stuff. I would draw a lot back to fear or ignorance or both. When a lot of people see a homeless person, they see a criminal, and it’s treated as criminal in a lot of places

@@jimilyoutdoors I hear you, I live in Portland and attitudes towards the homeless run to both extremes

Meh, you got me to sub. Fuck the haters and love thy fellow man

Kiss ass

@@ElberGalarga22 oh its the lurker who insults people and can't figure out why he keeps being drawn back to this hiker's YT channel...🤔

Thank you blurred! It was a good day🥂🍾

Thanks so much, I’m glad you’re here! Still struggling with the charging thing smh, it’s kinda working out though

It’s always so nice reading your comments, thanks so much for your support!!!

When the NOBO 2024 cluster began, I was watching several people. Now, I'm just watching Jimily cause they like newts and rocks and they laugh at squirrels. It's the purest videos. They stomp out the miles like swagsquatch.
