100 MILE WILDERNESS, FLOODED! | Featuring Taylor the Nahamsha Hiker

An insane attempt to complete a flooded, dangerous 100 mile wilderness as Taylor wraps up her 2023 AT Thru-hike. This challenged me mentally, physically and emotionally. Taylor had a special way of keeping it positive no matter what we’re facing!

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

This is so good!! Maybe the 100 mile wilderness is cursed for us hahaha

[@codyhikes4054]

We can never finish it gracefully 😭😂

[@Self_Proppelled]

Great that you two got to hike together again. Nice job on the vlogging too.

[@scottchapman6427]

My #3 son is a South bound AT hiker this year. I dropped him off at Baxter State park on July 13th with 1 of his older brothers who did Katadyn and the first part of the 100 mile wilderness to Jo Mary rd .From there he is on his own. It was in this next section of the 100 mile wilderness he got his trail name. He received the name Lifeguard for his efforts in pulling a couple of hikers out of the river after being swept down stream. I talked with him the other day, he is in DC taking a couple of 0 days checking out our capital.

[@codyhikes4054]

That’s so exciting!

[@danielspofford3696]

I helped rescue 2 out of a 3 hiker group last year at Wilson stream? Don’t quote me on that but it was no stream last year!! Chest high water and not safe! Luckily myself and my hiking partner made it unscaved but it was interesting to say the least! Great vid btw.

[@bradgodwin4106]

Awesome to see you two on trail together again! Y’all look great! Hope everything in your life is as good as it can get 😎 - Big Green

[@Karen-dq8nw]

For folks new to stream crossing, watch at 9:25 and do NOT face downstream as Taylor is doing; face upstream. You will have more control over the force of the water against your strong quad muscles, over having the water hit the back of your knees. Also don't attach yourself to any rope; hold on as she is doing. If you slip you don't want to be held by any rope. Scary stuff!

[@codyhikes4054]

Great advice, thank you!

[@mhelen7360]

Good to see you and Taylor hiking together again. This one had me holding my breath most of the time. What an adventure!

[@ibrewalot]

I've been watching Taylor the entire way both in '21 and this year. VERY interesting to see it from your viewpoint...can't believe I didn't think of it until now. Thanx for the snapshot of the last days of her hike. Can't believe neither of you said anything about the big rip in your jacket! Baby bear get you? 🙂

[@johnbarns548]

Hiking the 100 miles wilderness anytime is awesome. My absolute favorite section on the AT have hiked 8 times. From dry no water to death defying stream crossings. Adds a flare for adventure. So happy to see you and Taylor supporting each other. And grateful you have the know how to call the trip and wait for safer travels. Awesome video and a big “hi” to Taylor. I speak for myself, Cheryl Barns and my recently passed husband, John who have been hiking on the AT for over 30 yrs. I miss Maine like crazy and my lifetime hiking partner

[@ashlandrecreation3926]

Great to see you two hiking together again. Can’t wait to see #taylorsversion of the 100 mile wilderness.

[@eric_festinger]

It’s always nice to see you on the trail 👍🏻

[@codyhikes4054]

Good to be back on trial!

[@OBloveslife]

Great job on the vlogging Cody! Bad timing on the hurricane coming through making things a mess again. Thank goodness you were with Taylor. Definitely helps the spirits!

[@Porrohman19]

Yay, the team is back together!

[@codyhikes4054]

Heck yeah!

[@johnsandell4501]

SMAAARRT HIKING!👍👍👍

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video with lots of great beautiful views, with lots of bad rivers crossing, a bear and 2 moose 😅, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@colleen2503]

I’m so glad you had each other. You both have good heads on your shoulders and made the right decisions.

[@codyhikes4054]

We try 😊

[@hikergirl5693]

Congratulations Cody, starting your hike with climbing Katahdin was a great accomplishment but continuing the 100 mile wilderness even better. Those water crossings were really sketch, glad you went around that one. Oh and the moose charge too, what an adventure! Well done. Great to see you and Taylor hiking together again. ❤

[@wanderingwithbob2472]

Awesome to see you two hiking together again. I remember that the reason Taylor got off the trail was the abundance of rain and water in the streams. Sorry that the rain returned. Glad that you two are hiking together thru this stuff. Defiantly different from the last time you guys finished the AT. I remember that you had some shin support leggings in 21. I started using them, and a big help for tired legs.

[@debsmith7050]

Great video Cody! Thanks. Fun to see you and Taylor hiking together. WOW! what a hike - glad you guys made it safely

[@JackieFarkas]

Cody so fun to see you and Taylor together again.

[@codyhikes4054]

It was a blast!

[@kozmiczian]

Good to see you finishing up, Namsha. You were 'the hiking doll' of ’23. Not to mention, a triple crowner 👑👑👑, too!

[@kathycasey9153]

Excellent Cody. Thats a difficult section to do when you haven't hiked in a while let alone Moose charges and sketchy river crossings! So nice to see you back on the AT.

[@codyhikes4054]

It was awesome being back! It’s like going home ❤️

[@ElizBRUSA]

Awesome 👏! Great job!

[@sulj3373]

Nice to see y’all finishing up. Glad you were smart and stayed safe.😊❤

[@codyhikes4054]

Me too! ❤️

[@TommySchuch]

Hey man, awesome video. Thanks for sharing. I’m gonna hike that section this spring, do you have a list of what gear you packed? Would be greatly appreciated.

[@kerrywoods4352]

Awesome video Cody and great job on trail! 😊

[@marysorb6464]

road good choice. Safety first!! that Mom drowned this summer trying to save he child on the trail. :-(

[@codyhikes4054]

I heard about that! So tragic

[@suehancock5573]

I was so proud of the decision you made not to cross that raging water! Smart move. 😊. There was a hiker who did loose his life earlier in the year crossing raging water. So very sad. You both did great and hello to Taylor. Rest up & enjoy NH

[@Elizabeth-pt4bv]

Yeah, welcome back. You did fantastic and it was great to see you again. The conditions were not the best, especially the water crossings. You both were smart to play it safe. No sense in taking unnecessary risks. You did a great job at vlogging. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@codyhikes4054]

Thanks for watching! Our moms were very proud of us playing it safe

[@billyhorr7126]

Awesome content❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@codyhikes4054]

Thank you!

[@billyhorr7126]

How many days did it take u? what was your main meal of the day lunch or dinner?

[@deborahmower8539]

This entire summer here in Maine has been wet. Snow melted off late, then we had rain for days on end time after time. We just had the tail end of another hurricane hit the state last night. Several inches of rain. Enjoyed watching you.

[@trailtl5543]

Good hike Cody! good to see you and Taylor!!!!!

[@codyhikes4054]

We’re somthing else aren’t we?

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this outdoor adventure. Being safe is the right decision. The best to both of you. Stay safe out there.

[@adventuresofpineappleshort4600]

Always good to see you two! Way to adapt!

[@NOxSPLOOSHxPLANE]

I was actually curious to see if there was any unexplored or lesser-known areas areas in the United States and they're actually are quite a few even after all the years of satellite mapping, the US is home to vast wilderness areas in Alaska, the 100 Mile Wilderness in Maine, and side canyons of the Grand Canyon that are still unexplored

[@kathyhunt4989]

Good to see you and Taylor hiking together again. Enjoy the hike even though the trail and weather are bad!

[@codyhikes4054]

Better than black flies!!

[@amyrauert7016]

Enjoyed watching the two of you hiking together again! Enjoy your time in NH!

[@carmenhernandez6102]

Cody!!!!!! So awesome to see you hiking together!!! Hoping the CDT or PCT is next for you two!!! Awesome job!!!!

[@codyhikes4054]

Pct is next for me! Taylor doesn’t want to do it with me 😭

[@carmenhernandez6102]

@@codyhikes4054 oh no!!! May be she will change her mind!! Or do some sections with you! I just did the Laugavegur Trail in Iceland!! Amazing!!!

[@capthindgrinder3072]

Great job on the video and editing. Very well done vlog. Thanks for sharing.

[@diurnalreign]

Awesome video. I just discovered you from Taylor’s channel. Love it

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

Oh my goodness!! So glad you chose the road! Enjoy your visit and have a safe journey home💕

[@lynnepatterson5951]

Be safe out there!

[@davidschmude]

$40 worth of McDonalds, huh? So what toy did you get with your Happy Meals. 😂 Thanks for this well made video since your hiking partner continues to keep us in suspense. Smart hiking doing that extra 10. Thanks again. Good to see you back on trail.

[@codyhikes4054]

No toys unfortunately, just 40 nuggets total. Thanks for watching!

[@richardearp8577]

Wise decision. Safe hiking 👍

[@joeswoods]

So wet this year, section hiked Caratunk to Monson in June, felt like we were trying to lose a pack of dogs by constantly walking in streams and standing water. Still better than work though.

[@codyhikes4054]

Truth!!

[@1z1zmike]

Glad you took the road🙂🙏

[@codyhikes4054]

Our moms were so proud ❤️

[@spectrum10]

I drove past the northern terminus of the 100-mile wilderness last winter when there was a foot of snow on the ground, and I saw snowshoe tracks on it. I am wondering how far into the section those hikers were able to reach. Or maybe they did the whole thing? That's hard to fathom under those conditions.

[@kozmiczian]

'dude moose' . . . LOL😮

[@codyhikes4054]

😂🤪

[@celenasherrill1455]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@codyhikes4054]

Thanks for watching!

[@LupeShoes]

Where did you get off?

[@mathfan0918]

More Taylor just can't get away from flooding. It's flooding in the spring; it's flooding in the fall. The flooding is REALLY dangerous -- an AT thru-hiker (Steady Eddie) drowned this summer in that terrible flooding in Vermont. I believe it was in July.

[@codyhikes4054]

That’s so sad! We heard several stories of hikers almost drowning 😔

[@mjperkolator8854]

Yes the flooding in Vermont was horrific here in Vermont early July.Many of our roads washed completely out and entire towns and small cities were flooded and businesses and homes ruined.

[@tomellis3218]

Cody, I’m a new 1st time subscriber to your vlog but her your named mentioned so many times in Taylor’s postings. Pretty sure I saw you in her ‘21 AT Vlog. You are a great friend to hell her finish out her ‘23 AT THRU Hike. It sounded like for very valid safety reasons you have both end your attempt. You are both AT 21 certified AT Thru Hikers & 2000 mile Club awardees. I have a pseudo-niece with a trail name Pinto a no bow who may finish her through hike and attempting to summit Katahdin within the first week of October. I pray for good weather and her safety, and have pretty much relied on God keeping her safe in a lot of the good weather didn’t come, I hope you keep posting. I’d like to follow your adventures and look back if you posted your hike in 2021 to review it. I often tell people when I won’t see them for a while goodbye make good decisions and be safe, which you and Taylor have done out of great experience, and understanding the perils that lie out in the wilderness as a through hiker. Thanks for sharing. ❤😊

[@hdbinnc8583]

Good call on the road choice! No need take unnecessary risks if you have options. “Dude” moose, a new species 😂😂. Great video. Thank you. Keep charging!

[@kevindecoteau3186]

live to fight another day.

[@jonleach2653]

Pro safely walking a road walk. Con drowning in a river. Safety is always the priority great choice!

[@28105wsking]

A forest can't burn if its wet, so no forest fires for the northeast yet. Yay! Rejoice! If there is high water 50 miles ahead, its a good bet that it will be down by the time you get there, "Good Lord willin' and the crick don't rise!" LOL! Now you know what that really means!

[@sinkguid]

Exciting video, Cody! Great to see you and Taylor again. Are you using the new hyperlite single person tent?

[@codyhikes4054]

Zpacks duplex!

[@fretlessed25]

At least the mosquitos aren't as bad this time of year in Maine.

[@codyhikes4054]

TRUTH! I’d take this over the bugs any day!

[@Karen-dq8nw]

Bull, cow and calf moose if you want the correct appellations.

[@codyhikes4054]

Ahh gotcha 🐮

[@spectrum10]

lol, that word is pronounced exactly the same as the name of the trail

[@jimhenderson387]

That's wild! Keeping up with Taylor's hike from Cody's perspective. I am a little confused, though. Did you two finish the 100 mile? And what percentage of Taylor's remaining hike is left? I don't think we saw you cross it, but that river at the 11:35 point was scary looking! Nice to see you again.

[@codyhikes4054]

We did not finish, due to the detours and the time crunch we had. She has less than 100 miles to finish! The River at 11:35 wasn’t the worst one, just the widest!

[@spectrum10]

You ate $40 worth of McDonald's food? What became of the dollar menu? I heard they still call it that, but nothing on it has a price of one dollar.

[@drewray681]

It’s all about Jesus

[@jamesadams2334]

Rather than doing the extra 10 miles, why didn't you just camp at the river crossing and as long as rain wasn't in the forecast, the stream will be lower tomorrow.

[@codyhikes4054]

Time crunch had us rushin!

[@gailjohnson6892]

[@GAPTEXPLORE]

*_Hello Cody.... I am really fascinated by the mountainous area you are climbing, the forest is still natural, there is a river with clear water, and you are hiking with Taylor, a beautiful woman who deserves to be your partner Cody, and I also like your video Cody.. ... Greetings to meet me, Rudy Tutorial Outdoor from Indonesia_* 👣⛰🏕💯👌👍👏🤝🙏
