[@sydoniestock2187]

Petting a bobcat is definitely how I'll die ❤

[@tomc3216]

Hiking the AT through the whites, bond cliff is a must, it’s only a couple miles off the AT. It’s known to be the most beautiful area of the park.

[@theoriginalkaro]

Congratulations to all the hikers who have finished their 2024 AT Thru-hike! 🎉 I hope 5Stack is ok. He should have summited yesterday but haven’t seen an update yet.

[@jayray720]

Yes he has finished also I seen a picture of him in front of the Sign his last video should be up soon

[@JuliaJayATOP]

Prayers for dad surgery 🙏😇

[@tommybewick]

You're fortunate to have your dad still alive. My parents have been gone for quite a while, and I'm younger than you.

[@vivianhelt8860]

Praying for your dad and his doctors to have a steady hand.

[@Lovesracing19]

Prayers for your Dad. Hope someone finds Saddie. Did you hear that Mama Bear and Little Bear got off trail and went home. Have a nice hike.

[@sticktheeagle]

The bobcats were a really unique experience! Thank you for sharing, GadgetGirl!!

[@jeanfrost5452]

Thank you for your kindness towards all animals💙💙💙💙

[@SPnSQ]

Your dad 85 and bench pressing… Let’s get it Pops!!

[@opaontrail]

Hey Ramandino, remind folks there are still NOBO late comers out here. Water is getting harder to find. Gravy and ninjabear heading onto Damascus in 2 days.

[@TakeNothing4theJourney]

Prayers going up for your dad. Praying for healing. Thank you for all you do. Blessings.

[@suehancock5573]

Another great update!! 😊. Prayers for a successful surgery and a full recovery to your dad’s shoulder. 🙏 still praying for Sadie! And yes we call the dogs on both side of our yard “ Our kids” and yes they are spoiled and yes they get biscuits and treats!! Ramdino I can tell you are a kind man and I know ( as we all do who listen each week)) you would never offend anyone! So let your heart rest! 👍. Enjoy your hike this week! take care , stay safe , God Bless, & Hike On!! 🧗‍♀️🥾🏕️👍

[@billymitchell214]

Hey Ramdino, Thanks for the weekly update. The trail is getting busy and I'm heading north next Monday to do trail magic starting in Maryland and going to Maine. I plan to be on trail until September if donations hold out. Your updates help me considerably by letting me know approximate locations and numbers. I'm excited to get back out and meet some of these hikers, feed them up and cheer their progress in person. Safe Trails Sir Stops Alot Stops Trailside Cafe

[@Ramdinohikes]

Sounds great!

[@MinaS-dp6zf]

Hi Ramdino, lifting your Dad up in prayer for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. Thank you for all that you do. God bless you!

[@williamking4316]

Thanks Ramdino for all the updates! I agree on your comment about saying things to lift up not tear down!! Thanks for all you do for our Hiking Community!! Continue Prayers for all our Hikers and you as well!

[@Ramdinohikes]

You are so welcome

[@mhelen7360]

Thanks for another good hiker update, Ramdino. Will be praying for your dad to have a successful rotator cuff surgery.

[@Woody.D828]

My NC Mom would say that as well as a way to be respectful to all. -- Thanks for your vlogs Sir.

[@Ramdinohikes]

Absolutely!

[@KrizAkoni]

Wow, the bobcats were really cool. Big cats make me nervous 😬

[@jasonsampsell4696]

I recently found your channel and i appreciate all the information and well wishes sent to the hiker community. I've noticed a lot of seniors or retirees on the trail. Has anyone done a survey or statistics on the hiker population that are retirees and/or seniors, opposed to the younger crowd (college graduate ages). I enjoy seeing a wide variety of people out enjoying the trail, regardless if its a section, lash or thru hike. It is empowering to see folks that are retirees attempting or completing thru hikes, since i am retiring this September. I have spent a considerable amount of time on different trails and plan on continuing, and spending more time on the trail. Thank you for what you do.

[@Ramdinohikes]

Dk if a survey has been done ,but I agree with enjoying seeing them on trail. Just got back from trail today and saw quite a few

[@josephmayes8302]

Appreciate you brother and all you do.

[@JuliaJayATOP]

Hey thanks for the thanks I don’t mind name mention if you need help for hiker in particular but no mention of super thanks please in future ❤ Glory to God however I can help others see Him in others

[@Ramdinohikes]

Will do

[@melshea2519]

We met PacMan 4/28 just after the Cookie Lady 2.0s house at the "Ottada Way Cafe "😊 BACON WRAP

[@tresannrn8454]

Thank you Ramdino for all that you do!✌️🙂❤️

[@Ramdinohikes]

🚶👟👟⛺🌞 prayers for your dad that everything goes good thank you again for another great episode and I always carry extra dog food in my van in case I come across a stray or a dog just wanting some food congratulations to all who have finished 💯🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@olddudeonthetrail72]

More love in the world, Ramdino. Thank you.

[@Ramdinohikes]

[@thecrankyyankee5114]

I believe fortune adventures got off the trail as well - Lyme disease from a tick?

[@Feltmann1]

Fortune posted an update today, getting better and is getting back on trail soon🙏

[@Randee04]

Thank you for everything you do!

[@Ramdinohikes]

You are so welcome!

[@sulj3373]

Happy Father’s Day. Prayers for your dad.🙏😊❤️

[@Ramdinohikes]

Thank you! You too!

[@gabriele1975]

I watched evans’s backpacking channel and he was with a group that had a very bold bear grabbing the hikers food bags. I want to say they were near the Grayson Highlands. But that bear made its way to quite a few of the hikers and was grabbing Ursacks and food bags. If I remember right, it was in broad daylight with the whole group around. So for this hiker to have had his pack stolen, means it really could have happened with the hiker right by his pack. I guess nowadays we do see plenty of videos with bears walking right up to people and I guess especially a hungry food conditioned one would be right in that category. Update : So my curiosity got the best of me and I did go and find the videos from Evan and watched them again since it had been a while. The problem bear account is on AT #12 (eight minutes in) and AT# 13 (about five minutes in is when you can see the Ursack that the bear ripped open.)

[@Ramdinohikes]

I'll check it out

[@SpinelessCougar]

Looks like those late start date were either doing the Long Trail or flippers that started kinda far north..

[@mhe8545]

Thanks!

[@Ramdinohikes]

[@Ramdinohikes]

[@LookUp1991]

Wish Nickels would have waited for Stick so they could finish Sticks last week together, if he had so much time. Not trying to be mean, but really feel for Stick

[@Gots2Go24]

👍

[@ronniebozeman5059]

Hey Ramdino....where did Sadie become separated from her owner at?...if you don't mind me asking..

[@Ramdinohikes]

Near Max Patch in NC

[@ronniebozeman5059]

Yep, I know max patch mighty well

[@direwolf_adventure]

Maybe the person who said you insulted people who lost a child, had actually lost a child. I can imagine maybe a lot of pain behind that comment. Maybe really not even trying to be mean, just a way of crying out to the world.

[@heatherlambert8660]

Do you live in Virginia?

[@chrislowe5611]

I believe ramdino lives in north carolina

[@Ramdinohikes]

That is correct. North Kakalacki
