Yes we pushed ourselves farther and harder than we probably need to! It’s hard to cram in so many miles when you only have so much time away from work. The Whites were brutal, but it didn’t get any easier once we got past them! The three of us all agree that the Kilkenny’s were as hard or harder than the Whites. It was brutal!

At Mt Deception? No, I called ahead of time to make sure we wouldn’t need to but Carl (the owner) said he wouldn’t be filled up at the end of Sept

Thanks so much, Travis! It was the hardest hike we’ve ever done, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for the world! Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch through the whole series! I know it was quite the time commitment, but hopefully it was worth it to see all the views I tried to capture. This was easily the hardest trail I have ever done, so the feat of making it to the end without giving up was extra special for me. In terms of your post-hike video question, I am rereleasing the entire series this weekend in one seamless docuseries style video (with an updated, narrated intro) so future people don't have to click through 6 separate video links to watch the whole trip (sorry you had to go through that process yourself). I haven't given alot of thought to a gear report or a recap, but I am open to it! Thanks for the idea, stay tuned!

Thank you so much for tuning in over the course of this Cohos video series, Judy!! This trail is "mighty" indeed; its impression on my mind and body are still very much reverberating several weeks removed from it. Sounds like you are quite the accomplished thru hiker yourself, which is awesome! Hope you will stick around for future adventures on my channel, maybe even a JMT thru hike series in a couple of years! Cheers!

Thanks so much for tuning in and leaving this very kind comment! Glad I got to meet y’all at The Horn. I had just run up that summit, so I was probably looking pretty haggard haha. This was such a tough challenge for us to do, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for the world. Hope to revisit the mountains of NH again in the future, hopefully in a much more relaxed state ha! Happy hiking!

Thanks so much, Mom! This hike will go down as the hardest ever, unless I tackle something worse in the future (not sure if I want to, though haha). The memories that we created through the pain and struggles will be impressed on my mind and heart for as long as I live, and I am beyond grateful to have this footage to remind me of it come the day that I can't pound my feet on dirt paths anymore. Love you!

Thanks so much!! Appreciate your support :)

@@BluegrassBackcountryyour welcome!!

Thanks for being there by our side through it all! I know it was alot agreeing to a plan this crazy, but like I said during the Dixville Notch section, I don't think I could have done it without y'all! Now, what thru hike are we planning next? You're obvi training for it with all these recent runs LOL

@BluegrassBackcountry 🤣🤣🤣 JMT BABY!

@@Smokeybeesnatural IM DOWN

It surely was!!!

Actually, it was around only 4lb! Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for watching and your kind words, Travis! Stay tuned for the finale!

I would 10000% not recommend it unless you have either chains on your 2wd tires or use a 4wd truck. I met a couple of guys who were trying to make it in a 2wd car and got stuck for a long time before they could shovel themselves out. I myself had trouble getting up to the trailhead and off the mountain in my truck due to the snow. It was very scary. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

I am so jealous! I would love to live that close to Grayson Highlands. I want to revisit so badly, maybe in the fall or spring where there is more visibility, I missed alot of views on that first day up to Mount Rogers and back down. Thanks for watching!

Thanks bro! I figured I would save the audience my muddy temper tantrum 😂I’m glad you got the shot for historical purposes! Thanks for your grace when I lose my cool! Hopefully we won’t be in that position again for awhile, no 170 mile trips planned anytime soon!😅

@BluegrassBackcountry ❤️

Thanks for watching! And trust me, I almost messed myself when it happened; still one of the more terrifying moments of my life, on and off trail.

No marked overlook, this was just the view up above Black Bear Shelter that I got by flying my drone up in the air. There are several amazing views within Kingdom Come State Park, though! Thanks for watching!

Tough as nails or clinically insane? Haha. Thanks for watching, brother!

Thanks for watching, brother! I always get so relieved when I hit road sections after tough terrain, it is always a welcome break!

Thanks for saying all that, brother. I’m still pretty emotionally sensitive to these two days on trail, I choke up about every time I watch that clip haha. Bummed yall couldn’t experience this section with me. Thanks for always planting the best bloopers for me to see when I get back home!

@BluegrassBackcountry we're all still emotional over those 3 days. That was a test for us all! Glad to assist in bloopers!

No bears or Bigfoot, unfortunately! Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for watching and sending such a heartfelt reply! I am very emotionally connected to these two days, I could rewatch this episode 100 times and get choked up each time I see my “breaking point” scene. I’m so thankful I got the moose experiences to help cheer me up and give me hope for the rest of the journey. I am excited to get close to sharing the end with everyone! Love you!

Thanks my lady! Glad you enjoyed it so much. More to come!😘

Thanks so much for watching! Yeah I still get choked up rewatching those clips from the second day, I was completely spent. The moose sighting was an all time bucket list experience!

I’m not a fan of night hiking, even moreso after that insane climb up to Mt. Cabot. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it!

It was one of the best post hike meals I’ve ever had! Thanks for watching!

It was a brutal climb! I have never been so exhausted after a day of hiking in my life. Once I got to the top of the ridge and my tent set up, I didn’t even eat dinner, I just fell straight asleep. Thanks for watching!

It was totally surreal!! Hope you can experience it! Thanks for watching :)

We were all pretty beaten and battered by this point. That’s part of trail life, though, dealing with the pain and discomfort to keep going forward towards the finish line. I’m glad Chad got rested up and joined us later down the trail. Thanks for watching, Mom! Love you!

I felt so Chad so much during his struggles, I can’t imagine putting my body through so much strenuous terrain on no sleep. He is a tough cookie for going as long as he did. Thanks for watching!

These were days that I was so thankful to get behind us, they were tough on all fronts, physically and emotionally. Chad is a BEAST for doing all he did on no sleep. I wouldn’t recommend the Horn as a detour in the midst of a thru hike 😂. We ALL were that bridge keeper that day! Thanks for watching, bro!

It was a very brutal two days! Thanks for watching!

It is always a great privilege to receive a comment from The Senator. Thank you for your words of encouragement and reflections on the sights you have seen and lessons learned through this hike. I thought of many folks I hold dear, including yourself, while I struggled up those mountains. Our Creator is faithful, on and off the trail! Shine!

Thanks so much for watching! Glad I could reconnect you to your home state. Stay tuned for the rest of the series!

I’d agree with that. Thanks for watching!

HA! You were booking it on that road walk and were QUIET, that's when we know you are ready to be done for the day. I cannot wait to share a blooper on this next episode, it is going to EPIC! Thanks for watching!

That's quite the compliment to be compared to Appalshop! Thanks so much for watching, it was so challenging but the beautiful views made up for the suffering haha! Excited to continue sharing the trip with everyone! Love you!

Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks for watching, brother! Excited to share the rest with y'all!

You are absolutely right about no switchbacks, I was SICK of going uphill by the end of this hike haha. Thanks for watching, Jason! Excited to share the rest of the trip with y'all!

HA! It would be a boring hike without you two to lighten the mood! Thanks bro - this was a very special and important trip, despite all the challenges. Excited to share the rest with y'all again!

Thanks so much for watching! Stay tuned for the rest of the series!

Thanks for tuning in and following along! It’s so great to hear from returning viewers such as yourself. There’s a lot more views and trail drama to come, so buckle in for a wild ride!

Thanks for tuning in again! It’s been too long since my last upload. So glad to hear of another PMT lover, hope the fall colors were great up there!

Thanks so much for watching, Mom! It definitely was the hardest trail I’ve ever done, and I hope the footage down the trail will continue to showcase that! I’m glad there were so many good views to make up for the difficulty! Love you!

I’ll keep that in mind for the next adventure! Thanks for watching

Sorry for my delay! Was out in NH for a big 2 week thru hike. Shoot me an email at [email protected] and I’ll send you what I got. Thanks for watching!

No problem, glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

That's the main parking area, i always take the shortcut road down to Dog Slaughter that's on down from the 195 turnoff rd..

Well, Angel's Landing in Utah also has bomb proof metal rungs and railings, and it is considered one of the more dangerous hikes in America, too! ;) Thanks for watching!
