[@denniscall2454]

Love listening to all people hiking the AT. I'm 69 it's still on my bucket list. Crestwood KY saying hello. Hope to see you on the trail someday.

[@billypeek7186]

i like when Deep Cheeks show up in my suggested videos that girl is just freakin Awesome........

[@MrBoxer1200]

I thru-hiked in 1994, 26 years ago, seems like yesterday, and everyday something great reminds me of the AT

[@jenniferhorn9456]

I am not even 1/3 in and I am really hoping this is a yearly thing. SO GOOD!!! Love listening to all thier stories and motivation. These are the real questions we want to know!!!

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Glad you enjoyed the videos!

[@allenburroughs3369]

Thank you very good

[@lydiapetra1211]

Thanks for interviewing the hikers...

[@denofearthundertheeverlast5138]

Deep Cheeks is wonderful

[@dbenoit8862]

I will start hiking AT in March

[@tomaustin4526]

That was awesome and very inspiring 🤔 I’ve wanted to hike parts of the AT but never consider the being a Thru Hiker - thought I was too old at 62. I was surprised to see others older than me hiking the AT 😎❤️🌎👍 thanks for sharing and safe travels

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello my outdoors friend. Thank you for sharing this amazing video. You met quite a variety of people on the Appalachian. Take care out there, be safe and have fun. 🤗

[@timandrew1091]

Nice job....March 5 2018 for me, my 65th Birthday for Make A Wish

[@WalkaboutLife]

You got sketchy and veg, that’s awesome they finished the triple crown and she’s on the ect now. I love it!

[@Carolina-zee]

Wonderful! Great fun to watch!

[@JC-kd8in]

I need to do this.

[@bhamilton14410]

I think it's a pretty beautiful thing to wake up and feel automatic to move on as if you're saying "Where am I going today?" That sounds so relaxing! Cheers!

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Thanks for watching!

[@Psych_Toad]

46:30 . very cool to see my friend from Maine make this

[@geauxadventuring6039]

Great compilation of hikers, I have been following a few of these since day 1

[@LibertyLeslie]

Thanks for doing this....Sounds like Bad Santa has a hidden good heart under his shell. Loved all of this.

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Thanks. Stay tuned for this season's interviews.

[@waynejanik9668]

Love reddmage and the English couple. They have great videos and are entertaining. Great interviews. Thank you for sharing.

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@thatlarryguy6841]

So cool you got a chance to talk to Reddmage. He is the man.

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Yep he was hiking with Q when I met him in southern SNP in VA.

[@timandrew1091]

Love Good tunes... you rock

[@bradbotsch8949]

Good interviews! Thanks for doing this

[@travler41]

Keep up the great videos! I really enjoy them.

[@NoorJasmine]

Really cool concept

[@cliffordyawn8515]

good luck with your hike!

[@txhypnotist]

Special thanks for all the information on shoes, food, ideas that are working for everyone. Have fun.

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Thanks for watching!

[@reddmage]

Stickman I'm in Caratunk now with a date planned for summiting Katahdin

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Go MAN! Post a photo! Regards, Keith

[@joelpaul1231]

Deep Cheeks did you make it? Representing NH!

[@lockmckinnon6692]

I loved following Reddmage.

[@RachelEvolve]

I love good toons, he has a sweet face, and a good soul, I can tell :)

[@Skiatika]

Thank you for this

[@Inertia888]

COSMIC Brownies!! Little Debbie~ Def my Fav snack out there too!

[@ronhowell4886]

Reddmage! I been following him for a couple months. Enjoy his videos.

[@rileycyrenne4719]

George Mallory famously said about why climbing Everest "because it's there" not Ed Hillary talking about the AT

[@PierreYvesStOnge]

So many people I crossed path with this year, it is great to see them again! Toodles actually scared a bear near our campsite in New Jersey so he saw some of them latter on.

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing.

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Thanks for watching!

[@karebear1775]

I love these interviews, it shows how tight knit this community is. Everyone has their own backgrounds and stories but everyone is there to enjoy this world and nature, and it’s sad that a few people with bad intentions ruins the image of thru hikers. I hope everyone stays safe and enjoys their trip!

[@JoeDoeOutdoors]

Hii awesome page ☺ Keep it up!

[@Mtnsunshine]

Thanks for getting these interviews. I was just thinking today that it would be cool to see chats with various thru hikers, and then I found your videos.! Can't wait to watch more of them.

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Thanks for watching! Check out this fellow's PCT thru hike. He is almost to Canada! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5K0eoWwbdqApsk

[@Mtnsunshine]

Thanks! Will do. :-)

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

And if your really into the great outdoors - here is some music to carry along with you - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnaUk4GjrrWKrdk My favorites are the "Mother" and "follow the Sun".

[@hikerJohn]

The only time the phrase "God Speed" is mentioned in the Bible that I know of is in 2 John 10. Interesting video . . . Asking everyone why the want to hike 2,200 miles (or whatever it is) makes me think of the song lyrics Something calls to me The trees are drawing me near I've got to find out why Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a sigh Action Jackson articulated the reason for the hike pretty well starting @ 57:14

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Thanks John for watching.

[@firebomb5510]

I was expecting a SASQUATCH ROAR or a SASQUATCH to throw a tree limb somewhere in this video..😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@freddymarcel-marcum6831]

Wake up, work, video games, sleep, that's no life for a man, good on you brother.

[@alfredmisterka5880]

I would like to hike. The a .p traile. Some day

[@pauleaton6908]

Great interviews, awesome little video, but reading the credits I guess you don't get lemsip in the US?

[@beachgirl9823]

Really enjoyed this. Are you planning to do more now that we’re in 2021? One day hope to do this

[@ThatSlayn3]

This is StumbleWolf NoBo 2010. I am hoping to Be Down Trail Soon. Just To Do some Livin'.

[@leshaj1989]

Did you ever meet denim/mostly harmless? Started in NY in april?

[@beagle1977]

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Thanks for watching! Regards Sitckman.

[@samsquanchoverland]

[@arifahx1743]

[@GodBoxWagon]

[@GodBoxWagon]

StickmanWilmingtonNC don't take my comment personally. Just an observation and I may have come off cross. I didn't mean to. Thanks for doing these interviews. It's giving me some new ideas 🤣🙃👣🔥⛺

[@glennjones6574]

Toodles hair looks fucking fantastic all things considered

[@if3054]

Cheese seems like a nice fella. Wonder what happened to him.

[@nancymazur5014]

Try to interview 2 high school grads, Beach Bum and Irish AF, they hit Waynesboro 5/10/18. They are thru hikers from MA.

[@icebob8555]

Thank you Bad Santa we look alike . People think that’s funny . But like a trooper the name stuck . Any 60 year olds out there bravo

[@vinnyjamea96]

To get away from society...

[@DebsInManchesterUK]

never expected someone from the UK

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Likewise - I did not expected a comment from the UK. Thanks for watching!

[@BarryDearborn]

when are you going hiking the AT next? i am going fall winter next year and i would love somebody to go with me. get in touch with me on google chats please.

[@tubesockets120v]

Way to kick trail ass 60+ year old guys!

[@FreddyEnergizer]

thanks stickman ;)

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Thanks for watching!

[@randyglidden8885]

what can it cost if you are thinking of this

[@scjohnk]

Hey Stickman, I'm out in Fayetteville. Not much in the way of local trails out here other than Raven Rock, and it's tiny. Any recommendations?

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Uwharrie national forest. There is 20 mile loop. Park at Pates Place. Linville Gorge Wilderness- Stellar Views! (permit required) South Mountains State park, NC Black Mountain Crest Trail - out and back else shuttle required. All of these are hot and humid thru better part of September!

[@friarrodneyburnap4336]

what's the differents from a Homeless person living out of a backpack and a thru hiker with only a tent . . .and a backpack?

[@katewamsley9560]

Ability to choose lifestyle. Gear, money in a bank to purchase food, a brick house to return to after travel and the peace of mind (lack of fight or flight) knowing you have reasonable access to basic survival elements.

[@PierreYvesStOnge]

Purpose

[@bluemountaindrivepae]

$2000 in savings account.

[@lisarochwarg4707]

"Deep Cheeks.". Oh Lord. Why do people use trail names?

[@MainOffenderKZ]

do people takes new trail name for every hike they do?

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

A long distance thru hiker will usually carry forward a trail name to other long trails like the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) or the CDT (Continental Divide Trail). Especially now with vlogs being shared on social media. Thanks for watching.

[@ronaldbrown9638]

Salt of the earth!

[@QueenOfArchers]

"LimStick" is actually called Lemsip, but I guess that's a cultural misunderstanding :)

[@bobbydow5510]

we stayed at the shelter where the hikers were killed outside of pearisburg . there were about 12 of us there me and my wife herd all through the night everytime they heard a noise you could here all the other hikers say what is that. what is that. it was funny.

[@williamburdon6993]

My trail name Sir Poops A Lot, they never would tell me why they called me that.

[@Brandon-rq3ys]

Probably because you're Irish

[@williamburdon6993]

​@@Brandon-rq3ys Smile when you say that stranger!

[@rsaathoff]

how long would it take from Damascus Vs to Harper's Ferry?

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Its about 551 trail miles from Damascus to Harper's Ferry. It would take about 37 days hiking 15 miles/day.

[@Bohonk212]

Personal comment to self? 12 by 12 to do 20.

[@ethanallen2889]

Can I hike the Appalachian trail nude? Asking for a friend

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

LOL! Your just in time for Naked Hiking Day but heed the warnings at www.greenbelly.co/pages/naked-hiking Oh .... I blinders should I cross paths and persuade you to give an interview! thanks for watching.

[@urban1413]

Im hiking the full trail next year after I tie up a few loose ends at work. What are the odds of running in to a minority on any of the trails? Is this just a white guy thing? After watching this video, I feel like the odds of me running into an asian or a black are astronomical. I apologise for any racial overtones this comment may impart on the reader. Likewise, for inferring that I had noticed an ethnic pattern in the interviews. Let go and let God. Thank you.

[@StickmanWilmingtonNC]

Well ... this question is certainly different but fair with no offense taken. I have been section hiking the AT since 2014 and have crossed paths with and interviewed a couple of Asians (from Japan) and one African American woman. This year, while I did not meet him on trail, I found myself following the Blackalachian => kzbin.info/door/sqMJa5ANHcEdU0Vu8rdC5A who finished the trail. I really enjoyed his perspective and view points and he was quiet funny too. You will meet a myriad of diverse folks hiking the trail. Regards, Stickman.

[@GodBoxWagon]

Dude, maybe try to slow down and relax during the interview. Try to mirror the hikers moreso. At the end you are rushing them along with the same old "canned salutation". They have much more to share with you and I feel like you are cutting them short. You aren't holding them up any more than they want to be. I just feel like you are missing out on the best they have to offer by rushing them along. I feel like it's rude to not let them talk until they are done sharing. That's all

[@Emisea23]

This was cool and all but also so cringey and awkward to watch 🤦🏻‍♀️ I feel like you kindof cut ppl off/interrupt a lot
