[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

Welcome to YT!!!!

[@codyhikes4054]

Thanks partner!!

[@whylime21]

I love seeing realistic budget gear and getting stuff from places like goodwill and tjmaxx! very excited for more from you on youtube.

[@Elizabeth-pt4bv]

Loved following you, great hike, congratulations on the epic summit. You and Taylor were fierce hikers but enjoyed the views and all towns and the trail offered. It was so much fun.

[@OntheWrightPath]

This was really well done. I love that you took us out on a short hike to show off your gear.

[@carmenhernandez6102]

Thanks for the video!!! Missed you!!

[@carmenhernandez6102]

What was total weight of your pack?

[@kellywinget5790]

This has to be one of the best videos to show how to set up and break down at camp also how to pack your backpack so thanks so much for this 😊

[@bradwilliams7198]

Taylor sent me here! Congratulations on your thru-hike, and good to see you on YT!

[@audrey3319]

So glad to come across your channel, saw you in nahamsha videos. By far the best illustrated, organized (I wish I had organizational skills), concise explained kit. 🌈

[@mars_hikes967]

Ha, the best but still modest gear compilation on entire YT. Plus it has proven to work very well.

[@treklinda1309]

I totally agree. It was so pleasant to listen to him talking about his gear.

[@Woodthrush]

Wow! I agree. I have watched hundreds of hiking vids and this was the VERY BEST presentation of gear and packing up I have seen. Well done, Cody!!

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

This really is one of the best explanation for use and packing I have watched.

[@pj311foo]

I am literally going to use this as a guide for my own gear! Thanks for the detailed video and best of luck to you 🙂

[@davidsawmandave8731]

Hands down the best introduction of your gear and how u packed it up , day in and day out using this stuff u can easily show how your system worked , wondering about how many days worth of food u carried out there , cheers and congratulations on completing trail

[@j817madi]

Honestly one of the best presented gear walk thru's I have seen. I'm trying to get more into filming my daughter and I's trips mainly for memories and eventually dive into gear videos. We started off super cheap with gear that worked and are slowly upgrading a few items. I have a long way to go with working on my nervousness on camera.

[@frolege1]

I like the way you put this video together. It was first rate...just excellent.I hope you continue to post.

[@danielandhisswiftiebuddyev1073]

It was so fun to watch you and Nahamsha through hike the AT. You are a great team.

[@mikeshea463]

Very helpful. One of the best. Enjoyed watching you and Taylor. Good luck with YT

[@loisfreeberg-hagen616]

Great video and I sure enjoyed watching you in the background of Taylor's hike!

[@richardcavalloro8355]

Great video. We loved you during Taylor's videos and were hoping we'd see more of you!!

[@michcatani7795]

Great video !!! Actually u were hands down one of my favorite hikers last year !!! Very excited to watch all of your videos !!! AT 2023 for me , practicing around Harpers ferry this year to test out my gear . 👍🏼👍🏼

[@traceyjuda1677]

Great video Cody. I really enjoyed watching you and Taylor on the AT. 🤟

[@SaveAllTheAminals]

I live in Ohio!! I'm doing the AT next year and have never backpacked. I plan on doing Wild Cat for my first solo trip. Great video! Would love to see more from you!

[@colleenbreining624]

I’m glad you gave a you tube channel now! I just found it.

[@salvatorecostanza5493]

Cool gear breakdown video. I actually met you during my section hike when we were at fresh ground/leap frog. So proud of you guys for rocking it and getting to Kat... Also. I have the same pack and love it. I use the pods.. helps keep shape and acts as a stuff sack.

[@justmeredith4744]

I'm preparing for my thru hike in the spring; your video helped me so much!

[@erik683]

Loved this video. Such a refreshing change of style from other gear videos. Great job!

[@KerryRichter-qj9wc]

KiaOra Good to catch up again Have just finished unpacking & repacking for the 10th or 20th time, 3 weeks before departing for a crack at the AT March 2024. Using parts of your advice in the knowledge dept to keep the body ticking, Love your input along with taylors contribution during the Covid crash.. Keep the engine running. Kezza

[@codyhikes4054]

Good luck!

[@alankee1065]

So glad to see you started a channel. Great info and well presented. Looking forward to more.

[@razzbazle1582]

Great rundown of gear. I think if someone had never backpacked before this would help them enormously! Great video Cody👍

[@barb108]

Congratulations on your successful completion of the AT. It's hard to believe that this is the first video that you've uploaded because it's so well presented and edited. I'm looking forward to seeing your future adventures.

[@chuckoffcampus9738]

This was a very well-executed gear video. One of the best I have seen in a while.

[@djw8504]

OMG!!! I really enjoyed your video! Hitting Like, Bell, and Subscribing!! Good job!👍👍

[@ronsowers1763]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone do a better job of that. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors and I look forward to seeing you again, Ron

[@EllenLangfordPaints]

Did I not comment when I watched this last year? Such a good gear video. Thanks you!

[@melizabeth908]

This was really well done, Cody. Loves me a thrift store find too 😉. Hope to see more of you here on YT.

[@judeoliver5256]

Fabulous video! Very professionally done! Hopefully the first of many! Wonderfully organized and helpful to see gear in action.

[@romeshilangakoon1]

EXCELLENT VIDEO OF YOUR ITEMS FOR A APPALACHIAN TRAIL THROUGH HIKE AND HOW YOU PACK THEM

[@jefflanger5475]

I must say, this is a pretty sweet first video. Thanks for taking the time to make it! Look forward to seeing your future videos.

[@gratefulhikes]

Hey Cody! So great to see you on trail again! This is an amazing how to video! I really liked how you presented your gear choices, which I think were all great! Your choices really show that there are amazing options for gear available from many different vendors, and that you don’t need to spend your life savings to get them! I never heard it called a doodad bag but I love it! Not sure the sailors back in the day that coined the term ditto bag (which evolved into ditty) knew what a doodad was but if you ever wanted to sell your own gear you could totally sell Cody’s doodad bag! I would buy one in a heart beat! As we have all said before, you are a natural on camera and we can’t wait to see more of your adventures! I hope your re-immersion into society and the job search are going well. You are awesome and I know you will crush it! 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well. #giveashit -Grateful ❤️💙🌹💀🌹💙❤️

[@goodwaterhikes]

Hi Cody we met at fresh grounds trail magic at Little Gap hiker feed congratulation on completing the AT. Very good detailed review of the gear you used on your thru hike.

[@gtenedios]

Great presentation, clear, concise, and super organized!

[@craigmelodierubio1092]

Cody so good to see you again!! That was an excellent gear review. Maybe the best one we have ever seen. It was professional quality. You are very well organized. When we watched you with Taylor we always noticed that your pack was compact and it fit you well. Curious what was your base weight minus food and water?

[@hair2050]

Interesting you mention compact pack. Yes it is. He could have very easily put the tent on top of the drybag inside the pack whereby bringing the weight closer to the body. So why not? Because it’s wet and dirty I suppose. Anyway good review.

[@RendezvousTribe]

Great video and congratulations on your Appalachian Trail completion

[@skyeasti]

Cody! Great video! I enjoyed watching you with Taylor and LOVED watching you summit with your PRIDE flag 💙💙💙 I can’t wait to see more of your videos!!!

[@edfarthing]

Loved the Pride flag as well!!!

[@aromaofhope]

This is a really nicely done video for your first. I'm impressed!

[@davidschmude]

Excellent first video !! Refreshing to see even an AT veteran struggles with that bear hang at times. At least you didn’t do my most embarrassing moment. While showing some fellow trail users how to do a PCT style hang, I pulled off an absolutely perfect underhand toss. Just as my rock bag was about to do a perfect slam dunk over the limb it abruptly fell to earth and nailed me on the head. I was standing on the damn paracord !! Can’t wait to see your future YT offerings.

[@DonYourBackpack]

Here from your AT live. Watching all your vids! Hope it helps with whatever you end up doing. ;)

[@HikerTrashHusbands]

Great video and congratulations once again on your AT finish! Looking forward to seeing more in the future :)

[@betsybarbera9806]

Great video! Congratulations on your AT hike!

[@richardh.5404]

Keep up the good Gear videos. Some of us are going to do the trail in the next year or two and we appreciate the information. The gear choices out there are overwhelming.

[@WALKITOFFDavidSmith]

I'm glad you decided to start a YT channel. Really enjoyed watching your journey!

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Great video! New follower here. Best of luck on your adventure. Crow✌️

[@RockyMtnLady11]

Perfection/professional...please keep 'em coming! 🙏👍

[@nadinegrubbs424]

Congratulations Cody on your completion of the AT. I watched Taylor’s videos . This is really well done and I loved you did the review on the trail. Looking forward to your other adventures.

[@kathylyon8848]

I loved watching your journey on the AT and your summit pic actually made me cry, I loved it!!! This is by far the best gear review I’ve watched!! So happy to see you again!

[@kenzieshelgren3091]

Excited to have you on KZbin with your own channel! Watched your journey with Taylor! 🙂 I’d love for you to post some videos of your favorite Ohio trails. My partner and I moved to OH about two years ago and have been having a good time traveling the east to different hiking trails. Always looking for new recommendations!

[@aemjay3684]

Love this video! Good quality and creative way to present everything. Congrats on your successful thru hike and best wishes for future adventures.

[@HikingwithBraids]

Welcome to KZbin!

[@jacklamberson1431]

Great job Cody. Thanks for sharing and all the tips and info and reasons why you did stuff. Hope to see you hiking again soon and hopefully you and Taylor will do more thru hikes together, you all were so good on the AT. Thanks again Take Care and Be Safe

[@johnmys5am]

Great gear review. I like the style in which you did it.

[@jakeford2301]

Great video! Looking forward to more content.

[@carmenhernandez6102]

Miss you on the trail!!

[@kriscoty1]

Nice vlog. 1st one? Wow. I luv how u presented ur gear. So much better than most. Be proud.

[@WanderingWellnessRV]

Awesome video, Cody! Congrats on your thru hike.

[@juststeve1143]

Great review! You bring a lot of credibility to the subject given your recent accomplishment in completing the AT. Thoroughly enjoyed and glad to see you back on KZbin sharing your experiences with others.

[@tomlucas4788]

Great first video. You look like a natural blogger. Best gear equipment video I have seen. Normally it’s just a person showing the items and talking about them. It was great to see the item being used

[@ljhenley6216]

Glad to see you on You Tube!

[@jeffnichols7964]

Shoo-weee, strong out of the gate! Very helpful, thank you.

[@dalevanwashenova3248]

Phenomenal gear video! Looking forward to more content from you.

[@paulslagle1800]

Awesome seeing you started your own channel! That was an awesome gear vid! Really liked the way you showed the functionality of your gear! I am not a lightweight backpacker so it’s interesting to see your setup. I use a sawyer filter too but I have a Cnoc water bag. I love it and how easy it is to use. Check one out when you get a chance! Look forward to more videos from you!

[@dwaynefradd778]

Congrats on reaching the big K! Good luck on your job hunt (you would be a real asset to REI). Hope our paths cross on a trail in the Buckeye!

[@idotmyi]

Congrats on that little walk you did. For real though, good shit.

[@wizard_outdoors_]

Sweeeet im excited to see your videos!!! Great job with your first one!💪🔥

[@ShelleyAIC]

Great job on your first YT video Cody! Can't wait to see your new adventures.

[@treklinda1309]

Woohooo! Cody has a youtube channel! I am really excited about it. I watched your journey with Taylor and though it would be great if you had your channel too. Loved your first video.. very well filmed and edited.. Loved the way you talked about your gear.. straight to the point. I need to look into this rucksack.. sounded good. Greetings from England :)

[@claplum893]

Hell yeah Cody! I was hoping you'd make your way to the KZbin space.

[@runnersgarden]

Well done! I enjoyed this!

[@phatty363]

Dude! Great video! I’m from Ohio! Never been on this trail but now I gotta try it .

[@AuburnAlum1977]

Great gear review! Filming on the trail makes it more fun & interesting. You're really good at this KZbin thing! 😁👍

[@trail70brent]

I am a new subscriber to your channel and please do the Buckeye Trail as your next venture

[@anatess07]

STREEEEEETTTCH!!!!!!!! I’m sooooo happy to see your video! I super love you on Taylor’s AT vlog! This video is PERFECT! I love that you mention things like Goodwill and TJ Maxx… that’s more my speed. Gives me hope that I may be able to hike the AT without mortgaging my house!

[@andrewlivelife]

Yayyyy!!! Lifetime member here!!!

[@hikingfeedsmysoul6960]

Awesome video, Cody!!!

[@gabicerrahikes]

This video helped me with my gear list so much

[@robinbawden4047]

Great job on this video!

[@peluso_palit]

Welcome to KZbin 🥰

[@LWilli5]

Stellar first video, Cody

[@Charity1277]

I know it's old school.but never underestimated a fanny pack with a place for water bottles. Besides that I was surprised you don't have bear spray and a big knife just in case.

[@thewrongguide]

Hey Cody - really enjoyed the guest appearances on Nahamsha - looking forward to the spin-off

[@sanman8359]

Excellent summary! Thanks.

[@Onnitfan1]

Great video! Subscribed! Looking forward to the next one! (Followed you and Taylor the whole way).

[@bnzimusa]

Congratulations on the channel Cody

[@bucky716]

Ordered some of those Amoji clogs from your video and they're awesome. First time I'd ever seen them!

[@colleen2503]

Welcome to KZbin! Great job with a creative presentation.

[@jeffs6229]

Loved watching your journey via Taylor's Channel, great gear video, I'm always looking for better camp shoes, thanks for the share and congratulations completing the AT!

[@colleenbreining624]

Nice review of the gear you use! You are so organized I love it! Looks like you thought of everything 😊

[@paddle_hike]

Great gear loadout!!!! thanks a lot for sharing (new sub and friend)

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

Great to see you on YT! When I lived in OH, we used to go to Burr Oak every year for quite a few years. That is pretty and rugged country. You have some great local hiking. Good luck with your job search.

[@danieltremblay5786]

Welcome to YT. Great video! Excited to see what you'll have for us in the future. Good luck with your job search.

[@deadeyesteampiper685]

Congratulations on finishing your thru-hike and glad to see some content from ya. Keep it up!

[@1LeggedAdventures]
