Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike 2024 | Day 2 | Still Gorgeous Weather | Where's My Donuts!?

[@Fortuneadventures]

Thank you all for following along and supporting me with your cheers and prayers on this big year of thru-hiking. It means the world to me. I am hiking this year in memory of my daughter who passed 20 years ago and also raising awareness for osteoporosis, something I deal with, hoping to inspire those who can to get out there and Live Life.

Nausea and hiking sucks. I hope you feel better by now. I love the silence of winter woods. My beautiful GA mountains. Im so glad you are getting to immerse yourself in them again. I love Ramrock Mtn. It is my go-to easy local hike when i need to be out there. Hike on. 🥾💚

Sunday, February 04th: Nothing wrong with sleeping with layers on to keep warm; no apologies! Happy Trails!

[@appalachianwanderseeker]

Nice guitar playing! I'm enjoying following your journey.

[@BarnCatGary]

Epic sunrise! Thanks for the inspiring videos. Happy Trails

[@BarnCatGary]

And great music!!!

[@truckercarlson9081]

Hell yeah! Thanks for the video!

[@williamking4316]

If only hikers would take heed to your public announcement, that's part of NO TRACE!! I play guitar as well. Great Video!

I recently got a Nalgene cantene so I don’t need to get up to pee in the middle of the night. Any bottle would work, but these are light, and pack well. Plus it helps keep you from confusing it with your water bottle.

Enjoy watching your trek on the AT in 2024. You referenced Sassafras Mountain in this video. The climb is a tough one. It kicked my ass 10 years ago when I did a weekend hike from Springer mountain to Woody Gap. Good luck on your journey and safe travels!

[@dwayne5698]

Wow what a clean hostel!!!!

[@envman67]

Met Coyote between Hogpen and Unicoi gap last October. Very nice young man and his trail name suits him well because he is really fast.

[@lynetetreault3799]

@@FortuneadventuresGreat! Just chilling and figuring out my next adventure! You are killing it out there!

[@RedCatt423]

Thank you for playing a little on the guita...very nice. As always love your videos. Glad you slowed a little, your goal is a marathon. Yes you are physically ready but you body has to acclimate to the eastern US environment.

[@Muggleborn_Adventures]

PUDs for days lol! Great vid!

[@HikingWithWhiskers]

Awesome video! My buddy “IceAger” sent me a pic of you and him @ Above The Clouds hostel! We hiked together some in 2022. Loved “Lucky” & Nimrod!! Great hostel! Enjoying following you!🥾🥾🏕️

[@Fortuneadventures]

Nice...iceager is cool!

[@margieameye4754]

I KNEW you were going to say sassafras!!!!!😂 even if it wasn’t. But based on how you were describing it… that was a rough one! Loving the videos!!!!

[@Fortuneadventures]

[@margieameye4754]

Magpie cheering you on!!!!!!

[@Fortuneadventures]

@@margieameye4754 wooo hooo thank you!

20degrees even a tad chilly fir crazy canucks. My sleep system is really dialed in yah but the excitement is hard to beat. 20 miles a day is doable if solo but not in a group. Doubtful at our age you will be pulling off 20 mile days before the smokies at this time unless you are 19. Those evil tenters but that is what you get for camping anywhere vice designated. I always have my awesome junk food on me. It is a must from the start for me.

[@Fortuneadventures]

I average 20+ a day...anything less I feel like I haven't done enough...last year on the AT and year before on the PCT...it's not a mandate I give myself...but is what my body does...I'm pretty dialed in with it lol.

[@deborahpulley21455]

Good morning

[@jeanettepugh6017]

AT elevation is legit. As a flatlander hiker, it wrecked me. My calves were so lit up. You got lucky with the weather. Subbed and watching. Best of luck.

[@Fortuneadventures]

Yes and I love it...straight up the mountains lol

[@deborahpulley21455]

What is your eta to Hiawassee?

[@gakitten33]

My friends say “Sassafras kicks your ass!” 😹

[@Amilliondreams87]

Heck yeah, take advantage of the southern hospitality while you can, plus after a mileage day in the cold who wouldn't want a hot meal lol. Do you have any isinthebag beanies for sale?

[@Fortuneadventures]

Not yet...they'll be available along with some other things eventually

[@davinadunn6955]

Why would you want to do 50 miles in a day? Wouldn’t it put you more at risk for injury?
