Cold weather hiking is giving you great views,I enjoy your videos ,views of shelters,milage reports and your pace.

[@cherylbarns-y4m]

Truly challenging cold weather. Braver than me. Hopefully you get microspikes before smokies. Take your time, enjoy the winter beauty of the forest and take everything I

[@Burner62984]

Good video, with lots of good beautiful views, so let's keep on hiking 😮

[@lindalaing570]

YAY for you...following you through to the end. Best of luck...I'm in Maine and at 80+ my hiking days are over. Love your videos of the wild places and friendly faces and the dogs and trees and mountain views...memories. Never got to the AT but did the Adirondacks up and down and all around!

[@rachelkarcher2565]

Thank you for taking us with you on your journey.

[@jimcouillard-uw7ty]

Enjoying your video and sights

[@KrizAkoni]

Most excellent views on Standing Indian!

[@jamesquinlivan7876]

Nice job Wolfe. Totally envious but some year I will be on the trail. Yes it’s very cold but you keep chugging along. Bravo! Keep sending us the vids 🌎🥾🏔️👍

[@wanderingmycophile]

Thanks for your great videos. Cheering you on from Wisconsin!

[@Uconn91]

Awesome adventure and thanks for sharing. I live in CT and at some point I want to complete the journey but for now I'm enjoying the thru hiker channels.

[@ChadReno-be9jm]

Enjoying the videos. Thanks for sharing your journey. Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Woody Harrelson?

[@suecox8355]

So love the views during winter. Thanks, be safe! 🦋❤️

[@adventure_outdoors]

So thankful for those trail maintainers!

[@jinxhikes3021]

Standing Indian Mountain views were my favorites south of the Smokies! I just loved that walk down the narrow ridge with beautiful views everywhere! You are doing great!

[@SweetSweetRhythm]

I'm a 38 year old dude living vicariously through you, really enjoying watching your journey. Never been able to hike any of the AT. I'm from NC and just wanted to let you know we pronounce Nantahala as nan-tuh-hay-luh. In fact I was just recently in Bryson City where you'll be soon when you get back on trail, and the Nantahala Outdoor Center is an awesome place, and the River's End restaurant was delicious....I loved my "Sherpa rice" with tempeh...so hearty! Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next video when your knee is good to go!

[@NoLuvJustRespect]

Can't wait to see mile 100 in the next video!! 🐾🪵🌲

[@SlowPoke1959]

It’s interesting for us being 6 days ahead of your videos and knowing the path/conditions ahead for you

[@janwaller3585]

Lovely video . Thanks for taking all of us with you . Safe hike .

[@SteveinSWVA]

Onward! 🙂

[@rickgault5349]

The transition from sleeping bag to hiking clothes is the hardest. It was always easiest for me when in the tent (as opposed to shelter). The tent did a good job of retaining some heat.

[@tonicollins7262]

Beautiful scenery but tooooo cold.

[@TrailoFire]

Your videos are very informative and you include other hikers which is awesome. Thanks for sharing -Acorn

[@wingmanhoy3999]

Awesome beautiful hiking and scenery, all the very best.

[@georgedutton1462]

Great job of hiking thanks for sharing brother you got this

[@jefferybyard8429]

How are you liking staying in the shelters? Hopefully we can keep building them on the ALT.

[@wolfiehikes]

I think the ALT has done a great job at picking the locations of the shelters so far. In the First 105 miles of the AT, I have stayed in 6 shelters. 4 of those have been in locations not really protected from the wind by the natural terrain. They had great views, but with the cold temps I would have sacrificed the views. I am going back to my tent until it begin to warm up more.

[@brianrunyon312]

Great views in that video. Your editing and videography skills are getting better and better. Get that knee all healed up and get back after it.

[@susankaempfer8427]

Hooray for trail maintenance!

[@alandixon8906]

Thanks so much for sharing your hike and all of the details. For a want a be Wolfie it is great info. What plan or options are you planning for on the closed sections of the AT. Blessings to you and safe travels

[@marcusrawls2125]

Your making great time. Great job! Are you using trekking poles? What quilt are you using?

[@SheGoneAgain]

Beautiful view at Standing Indian!

[@susankaempfer8427]

Hope your knee is doing better. Do you have trekking poles? I find them very helpful, but then, I’m an absolute klutz… 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sarahlane-ayers3654]

Do you just put the two tablets in the water you capture, no filtering? Or both? 10:53

[@wolfiehikes]

2 of the purifying tablets per liter of water for at least 30 min, then the neutralizing tablet for a little over 5 min. No filtering need as long as you do not stir things up. It has been to cold to put my filter at risk.

[@markviers998]

What a great view from Standing Indian mtn! That would make a great picture to hang on the wall.

[@nalonabrato8900]

I love the Attenborough style narration on the elusive trail maintainers in their natural habitat. 😅

[@ItJustDawnOnMe]

I'm a bit surprised at not carrying micro spikes with a January start... are you regretting not carrying them now vs later? Happy Trails! 🥾🎒⛺️🌲🐻💚

[@wolfiehikes]

No, there wasn't any snow and ice was spotty at the time. My knee got hurt in a weird situation.

[@Muggleborn_Adventures]

Great but cold hike!

[@SheGoneAgain]

I like your vids! 17 degrees is too cold for me! Burr!

[@sheilabishop-cn6ey]

Doing 12 miles, would that be 6 hours hiking.

[@wolfiehikes]

On a flat trail it would be. But the steep climbs slow the pace and later in the day it they slow a person down even more.

[@susankaempfer8427]

Just wait til you get to Big Butt 😁

[@KyGirl747]

Sun is a wonderful source of heat!! But it begs the question. Why should you stand in the corner if you get cold? Because it's always 90° ! 🫣

[@suecox8355]

So love the views during winter. Thanks, be safe! 🦋❤️
