Just a note about the intro. This will be the only video it plays on. The other videos have a very short version. C'mon did you guys really think I would make you watch that every video 😂

[@Mayomustard1]

it was a badass intro

[@mikemcfarland3461]

Yep loved the new intro. Did you design it yourself or have it commercially made? Saw you were with Artemis. Keep on hiking! AND posting...lol.

[@CowbellCustoms]

I saw the intro and had flash backs to when you said you wouldn't have a huge flashy intro and had to chuckle to myself.

[@jimdickey2589]

It was a great intro!

[@KevinFryAdventures]

I thought it was an awesome intro. I thought this was a great video....the views look awesome. Looking forward to the next video.

[@dwayneg8486]

Glad to see you smiling and cutting up on the trail. Enjoyed the time we got to spend with you and Krissy. I’ll be watching all the way my friend. Godspeed

[@bearanoia673]

[@MagisterCobb]

Great first video! So glad to see you out there, I thought the intro was fantastic. Your smiles tell it all! Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see more!

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

Great start!! Good luck the rest of the way! Thank you for sharing!

[@thebitterrootranger4405]

Hey Frozen, I'm stopping by and rewatching this series. I remember watching it live every week as you hiked 4 years ago, and this is the first thru hike that I ever watched. I wanted to let you know, though you may never see this, that this series helped me plan for my own thru hike. I've wanted to hike the AT for years now. Call it something of a childhood dream if you will, and now, in less than a month I'm going to set foot on the trail myself. God willing, I'll summit Katahdin in the next six months. Thanks for making this series and making my own thru hike possible. Thanks Frozen. Happy trails out there

[@strollersofthecodyscarp7557]

I have been waiting for this video for days! So happy for you. Cant wait for the next video.

[@GawgaCracka]

Can't wait to follow your journey bud, stay safe, and take it all in. Love the vids

[@danaelizabethx]

AWESOME!!! So happy u get to hike the AT- and we get to watch!!! Have a great time!

[@SpinelessCougar]

What a happy puppy! Happiness must be contagious, I smiled through the whole video.

[@DragonRoams]

Intro was cool. Nice to see you finally out there amazing trail angel to start it off and send you on your way.

[@bobvastola9364]

Great first video. It’s awesome to see how stoked you were throughout the video. Good luck man !

[@GODOFROCK22]

Yes. Yes. Yes. So excited to see you on the trail. FINALLY!!! Super motivating, Frozen. I hope to do this one day.

[@ronfitzgerald8831]

Frozen glad to see you living your dream, I'm sure all of your followers will very much feel like they are hiking with you as you do such a great job videoing your adventure. Here too a healthy hike and plenty of Trail Magic Ty for welcoming us to join you

[@DebCampos]

Frozen!! Good to see you're going strong. Enjoy every moment and stay safe. 🤗🤗🌳🌳👍👍🏕️🏕️

[@Pack.Leader]

Fun. I'm going back through from the beginning and watching your journey. Such a difference I can see, just from who you were in this video to who you are now. Amazing. God bless you, Frozen. I mean that.

[@lagginwagon8267]

Hell yeah man! You finally got started on the AT thru hike! Super stoked and proud of you, livin' the dream! I can only imagine how wonderful of a freeing feeling it is to know you've got a few months of nothing but hiking and camping! That's so epic! I've been wanting to do a thru hike on the AT for about a decade, since I first heard of it, and one day I definitely will! Until then I'll be enjoying your vids and living vicariously through you! Cheers!

[@charlotteduru5585]

Enjoy your epic adventure! I am so incredibly happy for you! Please take care and keep the videos coming! Love from Germany ♥️

[@freddonelson5505]

So glad to see you enjoying this trail so much!! I'll be following from Ohio till you finish. Loved the SBO chairs and Dorito gig!! Happy trails my friend. May your knees work free and easy!! 😎😎

[@inmate78155]

I’m so jealous! Best of luck and I’ll be watching! Be safe brother!!

[@1966magicmike]

Great intro, awesome video and the views were great. Hike on and enjoy your thru hike. Can’t wait to see your future videos.

[@markvincent719]

Hahaha, roughing it on day one! Awesome to have friends drop in! Been waiting on your thru hike videos to start. From a fellow hanger, looking forward to seeing it work for you up the trail. Thanks for carrying me along with you.

[@trevordixon347]

Dude, the OG music mixed in that intro, so awesome, I’m pumped to follow your trek to Maine!

[@kryanwood]

Love your channel! Looking forward to following your journey. Take care brother.

[@Patrick-ln8qr]

I was literally thinking about you and your hike this morning while I was walking to the train station by my home. Glad to see that you are doing well and enjoying the adventure so far!

[@JeffMeadowsOutdoors]

Great video. Thanks for letting us tag along. Hard uphill climbs and amazing views, and high wind. That pretty much describes the AT here in Virginia. Have a great hike!

[@johnhogan5342]

I'm in for the journey. Happy trails, mate.

[@potatothorn]

YEEHA!! here we go// so glad you are taking us all with you- interesting to me is the fact that you may be one of the most subbed to people to start the AT, and how that will affect your trip as in will you have huge groups of people meeting up and all kinds of stuff i cant even imagine... i mean most AT hikers start out with only a few subs and gain thousands along the way... you starting out with 27K, this should turn out to be a Huge amount of fun... So Excited to follow your hike !!

[@nathankrassow3007]

These are gonna be the videos I impatiently wait on to see every week.

[@BackcountryExposure]

Well done Frozen! Awesome to see a video full of smiles. Get it!

[@1moremile845]

Looks like you got off to a great start.... Happy Trails to You 🥾🥾

[@oldladieshikingnorthonthea4261]

Great start with some awesome trail magic!!! Wonderful video and views!!! Hike on and take care of that knee!!!

[@judolivingspree4220]

[@Wristworm]

[@gmed2]

[@madibarth5939]

Also it was fun to see you hanging out with Artemis in the video she posted yesterday. Thanks for taking us along!

[@SchillBrothersOutdoors]

Lol!

[@KevinWoodsWorkshop]

[@steveshepperdson8280]

Glad to see you are off and moving you are going to have the time of your life. Will be watching you all the way as you are doing one of my bucket list items for the last 45 years hope to do it some day as well

[@trailtimewithblaze4874]

Great shot of the falls. I can’t watch an AT video without my excitement going crazy. One week away ⛰

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing your intro. video to the AT. You take care out there, be safe and have a lot of fun. 🤗

[@shananigans_outside]

You have such a perfect & real perspective

[@mr.fisher3973]

Good to see you in good spirits. Hope you are enjoying your adventure - the guy from Sweden was pretty cool. God bless.

[@floydmietus6624]

Good luck my friend keep the videos rolling

[@JeremiahStringer]

I can see the euphoria you are having realizing that you will get to hike for months! So excited to watch the journey, man!

[@StarlightTrails]

Off to a great start! Can't wait for the next.

[@wandawilloughby6052]

Incredible beginning to your journey. I always wondered what a gap was so now I know. Hope the weather holds out for you

[@JoshHerodOutdoorAdventures]

You seem to have a different pep in this video. Glad to see you living out a dream of yours. Great intro to the journey

[@eodnavigator]

Great to see you on your way!

[@brianmd3196]

Loved the opening! Good luck. Take it easy in the beginning, hike your hike. I've seen to many start out gangbusters and either hurt themselves or just burn out. I know you have a hammock but don't forget to hang out at the shelters. That may be the best part of AT, your fellow hikers. Hike on brother.

[@davesadventures9051]

Great start to your epic adventure. Best of luck going north.

[@oscaropont]

Video looks great, looking forward to the rest of the hike.

[@AtHomeInTurkey]

Just found your channel. Nice. I just don't understand how you guys can always look so happy on that trail. I don't think I have ever seen somebody in the sun there.

[@triumfant2]

It was a nice touch for the first video. Lols like a great first. The trail angels are great. Glad your knees are good and enjoy your adventure.

[@texanoutdoors6409]

Nice start to the AT, good luck on your hike. 🤠

[@mikebond4874]

Hey Jason, great to see you out there - you look so excited and we are excited for you. BTW, my wife and I were caught in the same high winds last weekend up here at Raccoon. Scary watching trees snap all around you - stay safe!

[@uncleredneck3802]

Awsome into man you should keep it. Glad your having a good trip so far.
