Appalachian Trail Documentary: Hiking Georgia to Maine

[@starbrdtack]

Brilliant! You captured the essence of the trail. I watched in one go (couldn’t put it down). Beacon, 2023 finisher

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

Thanks so much!

[@TheSpiralLab]

I meant to watch it in parts but also couldn’t put it down. Maddie is such an accomplished videographer and storyteller. I’m in awe.

[@h00dles33]

This is an incredible documentary! Really motivates me to just get out there and do it!

[@WalkingwithWendy]

I think that you should go around to local or national news companies, when you’ve retired from hiking, to report the news. You’re really good at it and so funny.

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

Thanks so much! I love doing it!

[@ClaireAdare-zi9nn]

Watching this I realize how much I miss you taking us with you on the Trail. Made me "homesick."

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

Awww! It’s hard to describe how that makes me feel! I hate that you have something you miss but that’s also kinda cool you felt that connected with something I created in the first place!

[@tomellis3218]

Holly Molly Ranger this was better than I could have ever expected. I have held off watching until I knew I had the hour and twenty minutes to view it uninterrupted. And the format, the editing, the soundtrack and the choice of background music just came together do beautifully. I’m planing to share it online with others like myself who do want to manage the courage to get on trail and Thru Hike the AT at my own pace & style to experience the hiker community, the wilderness, the emotions and hopefully the accomplishment to join the ranks of those completing a Thru zHoke of the Appalachian Trail. Thank you so much. ❤😊 God Bless you .

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

Yay! Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

Maddie…you are one of the BEST storytellers on KZbin. Your editing is superb and the “real” interviews alongside the playful interviews were fun. I especially enjoyed the Flight Attendant section 😂. I enjoyed your hike and this wrap up was icing on the cake.

Howdy Ranger, this is Sugar Bear. I met you near the Front Royal trailhead as I was entering and you were exiting the Shennies. I’ve been watching your documentary (taking a break at “the trail provides” section to get to bed) so far, this is one of the best AT documentaries I’ve seen (and I’ve seen a lot). It is a surprising blend of great imagery, humor, honesty, vulnerability, and humility … and more importantly, captures the essence of the trail. Job well done! - Sugar Bear

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

I remember you! Thank you for watching, Sugar Bear! I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the kind words too!

[@ashleys_sadness]

I had to rewatch this. I loved following your journey last year. Waking up to a weekly vlog from you on the trail.

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

Thanks for re-watching!! I tried to make it with enough detail that people might watch it more than once, so that's great to hear. I miss those days too. Even though I'm still making videos, the AT just made for plenty of interesting stories to tell.

[@holliesheet3182]

Your documentary, Ranger, was so well filmed, edited with a natural pacing! We follow your journey with your narriration including the interviews throughout! You are a tremendous storyteller through the joyous, humorous, pain, and fellowship on the AT! The music was an additional flavor!

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

Aww thanks so much! I’ve really tried to do all those things you mentioned and it’s so awesome that you noticed and appreciated them!!!

[@cato_muppet]

Awesome in every way! Your strength and endurance, the friendships, the beauty of nature, your moviemaking skills. Thanks, Maddie, for letting a non-hiker come along to enjoy this experience vicariously.

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

Thank you so much!! I've grateful I get the opportunity to share it vicariously, too!!

Wonderful job showing us all of this adventure in this video. My wife and have been watching your channel for some time now. I can only imagine the sense of accomplishment. While we no desire to hike the trail you have motivated my wife and I to someday provide trail magic. Who would of thought sandwiches, soda and other snacks would bring enjoyment to those hiking the trail. In the future I look to your evaluation of another beer on another adventure. Take care

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

That’s incredible! I’m sure the hikers that receive that will be super happy!

[@somerandomguy4149]

I had literally started watching you on day 4. You popped up on my youtube channel. And followed you daily. I have watched your video a few times now. And watched others as well. But your documentary is very different from almost everyone that i have seen. Yours more on the emotional side of the trail. And the hard ships and other people's stories as well. Very well thought out video. i remember almost all of this when you were hiking. I'm not going to lie, tho that river crossing. i was scared for you. I remember when you posted that. I couldn't believe they let you try that. With your pack on. One of the guys should have stepped up on that one. But i knew you would end up making a beautiful documentary. It was very well thought out and very inspiring even tho i doubt i will ever thru hike personally. Im just an over night camper. I love driveing up to roan mountain and camping the Overmountain Shelter. I hate they took the barn down, tho. 😢 but it definitely is beautiful up there. Hate you couldnt see anything when you walked thru there. 💔. But just wanted to personally congratulate you on wonderfully made documentary and i hope that this video inspires people to get out and hike the A.T. much love ❤️

[@BeerinBeautifulPlaces]

I saw hikingmovie had replied so I had to chime in.Congrats on your completions! I'm going to multi-task and write you both at once. Great job documenting, both ofyou.I starting planning in July 2022. Messed up my knee enough coming down Katahdin to suspend my hike. Spent a week in the rain in going SOBO. Half way through the 100 Mile Wilderness, exited. How beautiful it was. I was so looking forward to crossing paths with your trail families, the red barn and the likes of Bartman as well. Have my tickets to get back in July to continue my hike. Just helped some Maine hikers on the Florida Trail.

@@joeshmoetakesahike3560 so sorry that you got injured so soon in your hike. Hope you are able to get back on trail soon. Going SOBO is so much harder than NOBO. That terrain is so rough. Greyhound

Man this was so surreal to watch. I can tell I was just like a day behind you and that group for most of the trail. For example, the person that stitched up your pants (Potato), I stayed with them in that shelter in the Greyson Highlands. So we had to have been there on the same day, you were just there earlier. (I started in Damascus May 7) but my experience I was often not hiking with anyone at all, not seeing people sometimes no one at all for a couple of days other than day hikers. But I didn't meet you guys until Maine. I had a mostly solitary thru hike until Maine. Then after I flipped and did Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia in October, it was a ghost town until Georgia when I linked up with some LASHers.
