Marvelous, well done!

As a family of day-hikers with littles, we are so encouraged and inspired! Thank you!

[@debbieosborn9464]

I just started watching your videos. Amazing how well Harvey is doing!

[@jeffgold7115]

Wow! You guys totally crushed it! Hiking with Harvey looks awesome. I'll check back later for the thru-hike.

[@feetunes]

This is brilliant. What an inspiration. Found it as I’m planning a similar thing to do with my Grandchildren in Scotland when they turn 8. First one next year. Belated Congratulations to Harvey!

[@livesutton]

Man, that video was a while ago, what a great memory. Make sure you watch some of our other videos. Might give you some more ideas to do with your grandkid

[@ducatihottie999]

Found your channel from the Dower Duo channel. I subscribed and can't wait to follow your thru-hike this year. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Harvey looked like he was having a blast. Good luck to you all.

[@tuffknuckles]

[@livesutton]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@aradhikas]

What an awesome family! Harvey, you did well!

[@livesutton]

Thanks we had a great time. We're very proud of Harvey.

[@aradhikas]

@@livesutton yes, Harvey is a splendid child!

[@kingizdeadable]

I'm not sure how I stumbled on this, but that is awesome! Great job! How did you navigate the trails? And how did you figure out the provisions needed?

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Awesome! Such a great experience to share this 57 mile hike with your family! How many days it take you? We just did a small section from Hogpen to Neel Gap over the weekend and the views were great ! Just subbed!!

[@livesutton]

We had planned on 7 days, but we hiked faster than expected and finished in 6 days. We averaged 8-10 miles a day. It's such great weather to hike right now!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

@@livesutton Agreed! It is a shame that we missed some of the cooler weather, but at least the AT has reopened in most states. There is a ton of AT hiking videos on my channel that might interest you. Would love to hear your feedback! Cheers

真棒

[@greysonphoenix3442]

What kind of training did yall do ton prepare harvey for the AT? Or longet mile hikes in general?

[@livesutton]

We slowing worked up to 10 miles in one hike. We were hiking several times a week to do this and then would do longer hikes on the weekend. This was without a backpack. Once we started the AT, we did 8 mile or so at the beginning and slowing worked our way to more.

[@earlwoolery375]

What brand and model pack is Harvey rockin?

[@livesutton]

Deuter Climber Pack. We have another backpack that has a mesh back for kids that I like a little bit more. But that one is able to adjust the straps better. I think I might do a review between the two backpacks. If you're interested subscribe so you can see when we get the review finished.

[@JessopVTS]

Can I ask what backpack he is wearing please? I have 4yr old twins and I'd like to take one of them at a time on a wild camp night locally.. Depending how they do I can consider both of them but being twins they bounce off each other and get very distracted and play up. Great adventure by the way

[@livesutton]

When we hiked the Appalachian Trail, we ended up switching packs to the smallest Osprey with a hip belt. Sorry I don't remember how many liters it is.

[@JessopVTS]

@@livesutton the tempest Jr would work but having twins.. Its two packs and my own pack didn't even cost as much as those.. (nothing on the used market). :-(

[@smackymcproductions4443]

Is that wall at 10:25 man made?

[@MrCacarocha]

He looks older than 5. Was he almost 5?

[@livesutton]

No, 4 and 2 months. He's just tall

[@OldPackMule]

Very cool that you're getting Harvey out so young but isn't 10 miles a day a bit much on young growth plates?

[@livesutton]

We've been working up to that for the last 2 years. His doctor is very supportive of our slow progress.
