Appalachian Trail Thru Hike 2022 | Day 28 | Standing Bear Farm to Stealth Site

[@woodenshoes554]

I agree with Just Jon Outdoors about the bear. Not a cub but probably weaned and pushed away by mother bear not to long ago. You gave me a good laugh about having not telling what Geocaching Kaity found in the box.

[@brucefluth3930]

That weird building you saw was a VOR aviation navigation beacon for pilots to use. 😎

[@hikingdancer]

Awe thank you for telling me

[@michaelbutler4961]

Awesome bear sighting! Look that long-awaited trail magic appeared. Hike~~On~~>

[@hikingdancer]

Wohooooo

I'm a class of 2019 thru hiker. Very cool of those people to have that set up. When I hiked through there a hiking club from Asheville was set up at the road just before Max Patch making Fajitas and other good things. This last summer your channel was suggested to me. I watched the first 2 days on trail and this week you were suggested again by YT. So I've been chipping away at your videos this week. I haven't watched any hiking videos this year. I've been enjoying yours.

[@hikingdancer]

Yay. Gosh, Fajitas would have been fantastic too.

[@usmchky1]

Nice bear shot. Keep up the good work. Gapple.

[@hikingdancer]

Thank youuuuu

[@richardross7219]

Congrats on seeing a bear in your first month. Good Luck, Rick

[@hikingdancer]

It was great

[@melchurch3019]

Food, food, food! The farther you hike the more it drives you. I hiked 34 miles into Damascus with thoughts of a burger when I got there. Just made it in time for one. I love to see the Trail and your adventures, thanks.

[@hikingdancer]

Yeah food is often on my mjnd

[@david_W5QDF]

That Shrek song is one of my favorites. Glad you got your trail magic.🥾🥾🥾

[@hikingdancer]

Yeah it was awesome

[@AmericanPatriot-bp7cu]

I would have never saw that bear. Way to lock on!

[@hikingdancer]

It was lil chap who spotted it

[@dennylangston8535]

The tower you saw is a VOR. This is a navigational device for aircraft. Really enjoying your videos and your super positive attitude.

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you

[@annegallagher4005]

Glad the bear was far away, looks like a yearling! Looked like a nice walk today. Did I see Sticky Buns at the trail magic spot?

[@hikingdancer]

That was indeed sticky buns

[@Dalethe1]

Your the first hiker that I’m watching that’s seen a bear 🐻 this year… 👏 Glad you got to safely experience that & sharing it with us… Happy hiking 🥾

[@hikingdancer]

Trail Magic eems to be driving force!! Good to see you two having a good time. Love the choo-choo at start of video!!

[@hikingdancer]

Trail magic drives everything

[@iPlod]

How cool to see the hostel's mascot, even if it had wandered a bit, and even better not to have seen it from too close. Glad you reached the spaghetti feed in time. Is the hiking (especially the descents) getting any easier after a few weeks on trail? Thanks for posting.

[@hikingdancer]

It is getting easier yeah

[@unpavedexplorer338]

The centipede walk is not good. Awesome to see the bear. You’re doing great. Keep moving forward.

[@hikingdancer]

Yeah I don’t like the centipede walk

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

A bear! That was cool! Glad you made to trail magic #2. Looking forward to sunrise tomorrow!

[@hikingdancer]

Yeah I loved seeing the bear

[@cwesi1]

Awesome!!

Thank you

[@sassywolf1]

Your knee still looks sore. I ripped my crusio ligament (centre front knee) back in the 5th January. It still hurts to walk but I can walk around now. You are very tough. Keep on keeping

[@hikingdancer]

It’s sore sometimes, but mostly beter

[@susietopspin]

Leaving Standing Bear and you see a bear... LOL. Happy trails 🙂

[@hikingdancer]

We were very lucky

[@robertblack1373]

Just love ur videos. That was maybe a year or two year old bear. Love ur spirit out there. Hike on

[@hikingdancer]

Thank youuuuu

[@whatthefunkwasithinking7645]

Congratulations on the you 1st bear siting!! That will always send some adrenaline through you!! It looked like a yearling.

[@hikingdancer]

It was awesome

[@jeffclarke4720]

Ok…I’m going to say it…probably not the first to say it but Lil Chaps is the luckiest guy hiking the AT…… damn him.

[@hikingdancer]

Lol he may be

[@freedomhiking4050]

sounds like you have some kind of german accent in you from time to time... or somthing around Europe, i can be totally off haha.... but i feel it's something different with it, Best regards from Sweden !! Heey... can you see Mount Katahdin yet? 😀 😄 😁 😆

[@hikingdancer]

I’m German yes

[@freedomhiking4050]

@@hikingdancer wow, i did pick that out, you have hell of a good english i have to say !! bet you been living in Merica a while or two, keep up trucking

[@TheChantybb]

It really was a standing bear 😂

[@hikingdancer]

Lol you are right

[@magicaltrails]

Black bears aren't huge and will be skinny when they first come out of hibernation. :-) Takes a while for them to put on weight! Was probably a young adult. YAY BEARS!

[@hikingdancer]

Yeah yay

[@andresmith1834]

I'm with FOCS. That worm was gross 😝! Talk to us about how you're doing emotionally and spiritually now that you've been on trail for a mo. Are you healing your soul? 😘

[@hikingdancer]

I’m slowly healing it

[@justjonoutdoors]

That wasn’t a cub - a juvenile, to be sure, but not a cub.

[@hikingdancer]

Ok cool

[@ihikefar]

That area used to be well known for its apple or peach moonshine…….just sayin’

[@hikingdancer]

Ah good to know
