[@jogr9187]

Congrats! When Little Man said he wanted to go back to Springer Mtn and do it all over again because it was fun, I knew it was a hike well done. Thank you for the ride.

[@melshea2276]

Congratulations to Little Man for getting your parents to Katahdin!👨‍👩‍👦

[@paigepurplestone8219]

Isn't that the truth haha :)

[@lolasmith6378]

Ok, I’ll admit it. I cried when you guys made it to the summit. Also wanted to send so much love to Sugarman. He was so amazing with Harvey. Super Congratulations!! You did it!!

[@christieogdenadventures]

Harvey, you should be the youngest triple crowner!!!

[@bucky716]

Over 2100 miles and the kid was still running. The PCT map. 😂 Congrats and thank you for bringing us all along on your adventure.

[@louiedizon16]

Congratulations Sutton family! Wow I’m sobbing as I watch you all summit. Been a silent watcher since day 1 and I remember Cassie’s death grip during the first few vlogs and look at Little Man now, so much growth and strength! I love that Sugarman was with all of you through the end. It’s bittersweet seeing this journey end. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us!

[@mechellesiudy4082]

I am in total agreement. I couldn’t have said it any better. And how is it possible for me to miss a family that I have never had the privilege to meet in person? But I will. Congratulations and continued blessings for this precious family! ❤️

[@lesb4043]

Congratulations to the Sutton family and a big congratulations to Harvey AKA little man. You are one tough kid. I am so proud of you . Glad to see all went well. I hope to finish my journey next year staring in April. Love to the family from Your New Jersey trail friend Papa.

[@richburns3293]

From day 1 to day 209, I've enjoyed watching your travels. "Littleman".... you are the MAN!! congrats!! Thank you for sharing your family adventure. Looking forward to the documentary.

[@juliehysom1461]

Mountains of congratulations to all of you. It's an amazing accomplishment for adults, (including the third adult on the team. Sugarman) but Harvy has accomplished something that no 5-year-old has ever done before!

[@QUILTERPATTIK]

Oh My Goodness!!!!! Even though I knew that you had already summited it was so amazing to be able to witness your summit hike! Tears and tears and more tears! Congratulations to all of you and wow! Being a grandma to 2 amazing boys, 6 and 7 years old, who love to hike, I was/am so proud of Harvey, Little Man, for making this journey and, saying that he wants to go back to Springer Mountain to do it again! Amazing! What an amazing feat you just accomplished as a family! You all Rock! Keep Smiling, Keep going on your Journey, where ever it leads you, and Safe Travels!

[@kimsmith6974]

I am crying like a baby...congrats ! What a family, what an adventure ! Thank you for sharing such a journey with me, you have really touched my soul with your being.

[@kbyrne124]

Thank you Sutton family for taking me along on your adventure! What an awesome hike! Your the BEST Little Man!! CONGRADULATIONS !!!

[@fatmanhikes]

You guys are an awesome family! You have inspired so many people in so many different ways! Thanks for taking us along and a big CONGRATULATIONS for completing the trail. Peace be with yall.

[@TooTall_hikes]

Awesome video!! I like grandma's idea 😆 PCT!!!!!

[@danielkutcher5704]

My wife and I enjoyed watching y'all hiking the AT. I have done most of it, in sections, and have 270 more miles left. Harvey is the star of your show, of course, but each one of your family has been a blessing to observe: The joys, the trials, the friendships, towns, weather, and, of course, the footpath itself have contributed to your emotional growth and the enjoyment of your viewers. Thank you all, and may God bless each of you as you approach every challenge and overcome.

[@livesutton]

Thank you and good luck with the rest of your miles!

[@tidewalkervideos6478]

Such a wonderful contrast of Harvey being so small at the beginning crossing a brook and then in the last parts of the journey with him becoming this agile, strong hiker. You have given him the confidence to climb more than mountains.

[@MartyHuie]

I started crying when y'all reach the sign, hope you'll never forget that moment. You will have challenges in your life, always look back on this one and you were able to overcome you can overcome anything in your way. You have enough spirit and energy and love congratulations and thank you for taking us along. I cherish these memories

[@MsChutchinson]

What a wonderful family experience !

[@rigger49er]

Dude I started watching this amazing family a few months ago and it so inspiring. Lil Man is a f#*^’n beast. If kids just went outside they would see how awesome this planet is and how fun hiking is. To the parents you are truly awesome and blessed. Wish nothing but the best in your lives

[@tammylee6342]

Your family is soooo inspiring! I cried as the three of you approached the sign on Katahdin!!! What an amazing journey!!!! Wow!!!

[@chriswhittington294]

So very proud of Harvey, Josh & Cassie. What an EPIC adventure! Thanks for taking us along with you so we could all share the good, the bad and the ugly of through hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. 🙏❤😁

[@teresa4236]

So enjoyed watching all of you. It is so inspiring to see the love you have and how brave you are to take a 5 year old. What a memory.

[@babblesonthetrail5404]

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your journey...tears of joy watching you all summit

[@deeholmes4106]

Brought tears 😢 to my eyes. Have followed y'all all the way. What an accomplishment!!

[@diannacooper1023]

Thank you thank you for letting me follow you on this amazing journey of yours!! May God bless you wherever He leads you next!

[@MousesAdventures]

Such an amazing journey. Thank you for taking us along. This is what it’s all about. You all will carry this journey in your hearts for a long time.

[@kirareoh1143]

FINALLY! I've been checking first thing in the morning and every hour thereafter for days for this post 😆. Excited to experience your final leg of this epic family journey 💖

[@butchbinion1560]

What wonderful journey we have been on with you all and Harvey stole the journey what a rock he turned out to be. Want to see Harvey grow up best of luck in the future. ✌️👊

[@annier6]

WOW - Congratulations! I'm teary watching you summit after your long adventure. Pretty amazing. Thank you for sharing so much with us.

[@danielracine1991]

Congradulations, Suttons. I still impressed on how you braved the hour an half meeting with the BSP board to hike Katahdin.

[@andrewupham4713]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR JOURNEY!!!!!!!!! You are a wonderful family. I pray that the difficult reentry goes well for you. We all know it will be tough and mentally challenging to get back to life off the trail. Always remember, you can do anything you put your minds to doing, including finding your new normal.

[@robinsdog1]

I'm not crying, you're crying. I'm going to have withdrawal. You are such good people, raising a remarkable child with patience and humor and love. Harvey will not lack for topics to talk about in school. Best wishes in life. Regards, a grandmother from New Jersey.

[@MrWarrendoyle]

A remarkable accomplishment especially how you approached the Baxter State Park authority so they could use a little common sense. I hope you can speak at Damascus Trail Days 2022. You give people hope in a time when hope is sorely lacking and needed.

[@tinakoenig1108]

Congratulations! What an exciting experience as a family! We have enjoyed each video, holding our breath on numerous occasions! We even shed a few tears when you reached Katahdin! Thank you for sharing. All the best for your future adventures!

[@tobywoodard7]

Wow, this is so great! I can't tell you how many of your videos have totally and completely choked me up inside. Many tears shed along with your beautiful, tight, loving family, and all the joy that has gone along with this awesome adventure. Thank you. Son of BillyGoat A.T. '84-'88, and '93.

[@adk_mtnlife]

So happy for you guys. I've had a smile on my face ever since I watched this.

[@aridill]

Thrilled for your family!

[@aliciakay4725]

Congratulations! You guys rocked it! Thanks for taking us along on your adventure.

[@suprnurse]

We are so incredibly excited about your Summit! Congratulations Harvey, Cassy, and Josh!!! We in the hiker community completely understand the passion to the Summit, and all the emotions that come along with it. We are thankful we were able to meet you and follow your your experience. Mountain Harbour is extremely proud! From thru hiker to thru hiker, take your time with your readjustment, and never lose what you have learned along the way. With much love and appreciation, Mountain Harbour : Mary, Dave, Shannon, Chains and Ziggy YOU DID IT!!!!❤❤❤

[@RhodeTrip1]

What an amazing accomplishment; congrats. I enjoyed every one of your videos, thank you for taking us along. What a story Harvey can tell for the rest of his life; the day to day challenges and accomplishments, the beauty of nature, and the great people you met along the way. Make it a point to escape the crazy world as much as you can.

[@sabinesteffen5052]

Thank you for all this wonderful uploads during your amazing trip. I cant believe that your trip is over now and I'm so happy that you have made it to the summit. I will miss your updates so much. I wish you all the best. Greetings from Germany ❤

[@TheHungryCubanAdventures]

What an amazing family. God bless you all. Welcome home, till the next trail. 👏👏👏👏

[@michaelcheatham6233]

It has been fun following your family and in fact a real privilege to go along on your journey. Congrats!!!

[@harley-davidsonaargauschwe821]

We are so happy for you guys! We had goosebumps and cried our eyes out! We followed you from the beginning. We still had our christmas lights up, lots of snow (knee deep), our dealership was still in lockdown. Spring came, Harvey's birthday, the summer came, we went on a holiday (hiking in France) and we followed you all the way, every single video.... and now it is over we are so proud of you guys! You have done such an amazing job as parents! Harvey just had the trip of a lifetime and we admire you guys! We can only hope you'll go on the PCT but first decide what's important in your life/future. Just know that you are always welcome in Switzerland if you ever want to hike the Via Alpina for example. Big hugs, so proud of you! Sophie and Piit Volgger @ Harley-Davidson Aargau, Switzerland 🇨🇭😘

[@marylandmonroe]

Congratulations, Josh, Cassie, and Harvey! 🎊 Thanks for taking us along on your hike. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

[@7rippster7]

Awww, can't believe its done. Congratulations!! Thank you for taking us along on this amazing adventure. ❤️ Sugarman is definitely a friend for life.

[@adventuresfound7797]

Excellent adventure and thanks for allowing us to tag along as spectators! My wife and I are a few weeks away from becoming grandparents for the first time, and as we watched your videos, I couldn't help but hope our grandson will be interested in hiking as half as much as Harvey displayed on his AT adventure. As Harvey would say, it was AWESOME to watch. Thanks again.

[@rebeccamccormack5012]

Pure determination from start to finish. Thanking for taking us all along on your wonderful journey hiking the AT. Congrats 🎉 on crossing the finish line. Hope you do some more celebrating. Can’t wait to see what’s next!!

[@annwilson4872]

[@candymckinnon8554]

I am so happy for you but sad at the same time. Watching you hike has been so exciting from day one. Will be sad not to See you anymore. You have made memories that Harvey will never forget.❤️❤️❤️

[@terryfelts5584]

Congratulations the Sutton family .I will miss watching little man .fantastic parents raising and treat an amazing little man

You guys are amazing and I’m so proud of all of you! I just love how excited lil man was to get to the top and then at home ❤️ I said to my husband he is going to be the youngest triple crowner then grandma gives him that map!! Lol. Best wishes for future adventures ❤️

[@anneroemer9092]

CONGRATS TO YOU 3!!! You did an amazing job and you are an awesome family. The only downside is that we will not be able to watch you guys on a regular basis anymore. 🥲 It was so great to see Harvey develop in these 7 months. Please share a bit of your life every now and then. 🙏 Greetings from Germany and welcome home!

[@nancyward9719]

I am beyond proud of you all and Sugarman. I've come to respect you all so much. Truth be told, I've come to love a family I'll probably never meet in person. I cried like a baby when you summited. Can't wait to follow your adventures on the PCT!! Thank you Grandmother for getting them the map, and planting the seed. Pretty sure they will end up as Triple Crowner's. Praying God's blessings for this special family, you to Sugarman.

[@matthewjohnston1312]

Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with the rest of us. This past year has been one of the toughest we've ever faced. But watching your family persevere over every mountain from Springer to Katahdin was the kind of inspiration so many of us needed. Congratulations, and thank you!

[@maryspiering1205]

What a remarkable journey. Loved watching every moment as you adopted to harsh conditions, found joy in the little things, took the amount of time you needed to embrace the moment, and shared this with your virtual trail family. Your experiences will serve you well as your future unfolds. Sending proud hugs from Oregon !

[@pawpawmike7372]

Congratulations on completing your thur-hike. You have changed your lives forever. Yall have created memories that nothing can take away, and grown as a family that will always take care of each other. Great job. Sugarman, if no one else has said it, THANK YOU for everything you have done to help them. They would have found a way to accomplish this without you, but I am sure your help made the adventure better for all. The only sad part of this that now we dont have new videos to watch yall grow everyday. You did GREAT Harvey. Be very proud of yourselves, because everyone else is proud of you.

[@tandyjenkins7495]

There are no words to describe what an amazing family you all are. Harvey you are a inspiration to all young kids to show them determination, strength and attitude for doing what you want and completing such a awesome adventure. So glad you all made it home safe and can’t wait for your next adventure. Harvey rocks!

Congratulations. You Guys are amazing. So glad Baxter Park allowed Little Man to climb Katahdin. Can’t wait for the Movie!!

[@carolvassey1247]

Congratulations! So very happy for y'all! Little Man did an awesome job but that was to be expected with AWESOME parents like you two! So proud of what you all have accomplished - what a FEAT! Thanks for bringing us all along with you! I began watching your videos during up rehab from my total knee replacement. I was sad that I missed you by 2 days in Maine (you met my hiking buddy, Crazy Quilt) but I'm happy to tell you all that I finished my last mile of my 8-year odyssey to hike the A.T. 3 days ago (Wednesday) at Newfound Gap in North Carolina and it wasn't snowing! 🌨We all have new adventures ahead. Congratulations, Harvey, on starting kindergarten this week. I saw the piece on the CBS This Morning Saturday program today! I felt so proud of y'all! ❤️
