You are very welcome Frozen, it was our pleasure to have you.

[@shawnbrodrick8673]

👏👏👏👏👏👍

[@shawnbrodrick8673]

[@freddonelson5505]

Props to you and your wife Greg!! 😎😎

[@swcollector5921]

You are such a blessing sir!!

[@edwinbear7065]

You're an awesome dude Greg. Thanks for being excellent.

[@thriftyendurance]

There are plenty of good people who help hikers for sure! 👍🏻 A special shout out to Trail Angels 😇 Greg and Mrs. Greg 😇 Looking forward to seeing Chrissy again. That's cool she will hike with you. Family is important...so glad they will come for a visit. Happy trails! 🌺

[@mr.fisher3973]

That kind of generosity kinda restores your faith in mankind. Kept on chugging and god bless.

[@rosestull3124]

So true!! God Bless all of the followers that have taken Frozen under their wings!! AND Gary and his wife if U ever get up to PA U are welcome to our home for a fantastic dinner breakfast and stay at our home. Thank U sooo much!

[@ElkDogAdVANtures]

Loved the music in this one. I know I’ve recommended Lord Huron’s Yawning Grave to you. Their entire Strange Trails album just seems to be a hiking trail soundtrack. Hubs and I always listen to it on our way north to our Allegheny National Forest adventures.

[@herrimag]

The story at the end is incredible especially with the vulture

[@StrongThompson]

Don't rush it doing the mileage challenges. Enjoy the trail.

[@OldPackMule]

Wow, crazy trail story and quite an adventure. Thanks for sharing.

[@angelapri2906]

I just found your channel not too long ago and I have been binge watching your videos! I think I might have a crush on you lol.. don’t tell my husband! But really I’m newer to backpacking and you are refreshing to watch! Awesome videos! Thank you!

[@jennifersides6001]

Absolutely loving following your journey. I’m with you in spirit all the way to the summit! 👊🏼💪🏻

[@luau5974]

I really appreciate your gratitude, and I like the appreciation that you have for the views. You are still amazed by all that you see. It's great to watch! Thanks for sharing your videos!

[@sharonmarks7192]

That story at the end had me laughing! Looks like you're in with a good group.

[@AJKPenguin]

Smart decision to keep that 30°F quilt. Mount Washington is home to some of the world's strongest winds. 231 mph was the record.

[@keiserphoto]

Keep on keepin on! Been following you on the whole trail. Also just got a hammock system thanks to your hammock series! Thanks Frozen!

[@andyboy148]

Awesome video Frozen. Keep them coming. Can't get enough of them.

[@MillimeterMech]

Thanks for a great video! What a way to spend the start of your summer!

[@floydmietus6624]

Lots of love on the trail the vulture story was hilarious take your time and enjoy everything the video views are awesome

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello my outdoors friend, it is reassuring to hear that there are still some kind people out there. It is also good to hear that your family and girlfriend will be visiting with you soon. You're a busy man with all the filming, editing and downloading. Be safe out there and always have fun. 🤗

[@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

It has been a pleasure watching your personality change thus far on the trail. You are doing great.

[@kristenscott9438]

Ouch! That sounds extremely painful! Prayers everyone heals up well! So many great folks out there love lending a helping hand! Glad you had a wonderful night! Glad the weather has been fairly decent for you! Take it one mile at a time and don't feel bad about the lower mileage! Enjoy the scenery and views! God bless!

[@TraumaRNKen]

Another great video, inspiring! Stay safe.

[@claramullen]

Great times on the trail. After you left Greg's house It really made me feel so good seeing how you were in the hiking zone just absorbing the nature all around you with a happy smile. Take in every minute Jason you will never regret it.

[@Bushcraftgearca]

Love the vibe! Those views at 1min mark are so nice!

[@RickyRoadrunner]

People can be so amazing especially when life hits you square between the eyes! Love the gratitude you demonstrate - it’s no wonder people invite you into their home! You seem like a very respectful guy! Raised my boys to be the same! That’s why we Patreon your trek! Love the scenery and music! Just gorgeous as springs awakes the woods! Hike on and enjoy! 🌵🌵

[@kenk9701]

i love your videos. Good luck with the hike!

[@owenstreet9201]

Dude these videos have inspired me to do a nobo thru hike next season. Watching you enjoy your hike is so entertaining and i am extremely jealous! I hiked Mt greylock today in mass, you’ll pass right over that its a great section. Hike on!

[@barb61]

Another awesome video- great story at the end! I had my own vulture encounter today lol. You and all these folks along the way are amazing.

[@swatsullivan]

What a story! Happy hiking!!

[@mattg2935]

Man, you are pumping these videos out faster than I can view them. Its super impressive. Every time I see a new Frozen video drop, I have to smile. Doormat cracks me up.

[@FrozensAdventures]

He's a hoot in real life

[@8leggedinzane]

Great trail story doormat 😂 I hope his brother gets better and back on the trail hey frozen keep it up man everyday is a good day cuz ur getting closer to Katahdin enjoy seeing spring too see you in ur next video

[@frolege1]

6:48 Greg, had a Moosehead Lake (Maine) baseball cap ..my kid (from NJ) went to 3-week camp up there many years ago. I love that place. Hello Greg

[@AJKPenguin]

That breakfast looks divine!

[@ForrestThump]

Another great video! I could watch you all day. Well, your videos anyway. :-)

[@tibby_thistle1563]

Funny story....great to see that you're having a good time with other hikers and also still able to slow down....you're so fast, man. But amazing work....

[@woollyvarmint4654]

This series beats the heck out of "Naked and Afraid". Keep it up!

[@SpinelessCougar]

Gotta wonder how many lone injured hiker get carried away by the birds. :)

[@dtq7388]

All Day IPA ! It’s good but it’s not Two Hearted Ale good!

[@JamminJere]

Man you are making great time buddy! Keep putting the next step forward... you’ll be blowing thru PA rock land before I know it

[@ShawnCiotti]

Hey Man, just watched this one where you were talking about the Whites. Yes, it gets cold in the summer. One time, it was 41 overnight. I wasn’t ready for it and I’m a hammock camper too. Shivering the whole night with the slightest breeze. Just an FYI. Also, get ready for rocky trails when you get into NH and ME. Sorry.

[@matthewberg7987]

Great Video

[@scottpope9105]

Keep up this pace and I might not be able to cross paths with you! I'll be SOBO starting June 20. Keep on truckin', the videos are great! I'll be jealous until I can start my journey.

[@TMoonCat23]

You're up to marathon days! 26 miles, whoo! That story at the end... hahaha! :)

[@DWNY358]

The scenery to this point has been amazing. I wonder if you will still enjoy the less dramatic "lowland" section between Shenandoah and Mt. Greylock.

[@uptrail7169]

Great Story! LOL I like your attitude for your adventure and keeping the summit goal for July 6th is a good idea. Enjoying your once in a lifetime experience in the most important! Good Luck!!

[@bahamajim1998]

Having a blast u r ! Hike on brother..

[@lostandfoundphil2038]

Ya good idea not to switch out to the 3/4 we got some snow this past weekend in the upper elevations in NH

[@freddonelson5505]

Whatever you do ... keep ahead of those vultures!!😱😱😱 Props to Greg and his wife for giving you some real magic! Keep on keepin' on! 😎😎

[@grounddweller3134]

Slow down on the mileage and summit July 7th best day in history right there lmao...Great to see you still smiling man

[@claya85]

Perk had been hiking with Underdog and Magic Mike but got off trail for a few days. I think he was celebrating UVA's big win! Go Hoos

[@edwinedward4543]

July 6!?!? You could go SOBO in the PCT when you are done! Full send!

[@ChrisOverholster]

Perk like Homemade Wanderlust's Perk? Because if so that's an amazing coincidence.

[@SF-mz3rw]

That's what I was wondering too!

[@chrisstanley3557]

Chris Overholster, I was thinking that too. Dixie's Perk? So cool, if so.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Different Perk

[@robertwhite7338]

That would have been so cool!

[@FirstNameLastName-oy2ji]

Good job

[@amandanash5913]

Thanks for the trail magic! I found it at Clark’s valley roadway! This is the girl from the pizza place :) I was watching a video of yours last night and found it this am. How cool 😎 thanks!

[@FrozensAdventures]

Heya!

[@garrycollins3415]

I hope you enjoyed Virginia and the Shenandoah. Vulture, that's funny.

[@theworldaccordingtogoat4482]

That was a hilarious story.

[@stephenfleming7918]

For being a loner at the start of your hike you now have many friends. People seem to be drawn to you. So happy your girlfriends coming to visit again, your parents too! Hey great videos man.

[@outdoorhangtime5404]

We saw these guys the weekend after near Annapolis rock! @3:09

[@grounddweller3134]

Why am I picturing a cartoon episode in the making of that story lmao

[@stephenhiker9807]

that story was so funny!

[@JamminJere]

You’ll need that hoodie again in the Adirondacks and Catskills, Green and White mts even in June some years

[@bdickinson6751]

Have they rerouted the trail?

[@testodude]

Dang vultures trying to pick off the stragglers. That is intense. :) Great story.

[@kevinstanley3503]

Perk was traveling with underdog and magic mike for awhile. Like the stogies.

[@jasonseckt4300]

perk that hiked with homemade Wanderlust?

[@doughooton6220]

Thanks for sharing. It is great to see there are still kind and generous people out there. Question, what rain coat are you using and is it working out for you?

[@FrozensAdventures]

In the pre at clothing video and yes it's been fine

[@raylamascus2296]

I love a good cigar

[@joelankeny6277]

Holy crap. Doormat’s brother must have an insanely high pain tolerance. I’m usually giving fentanyl to my Pt’s with that break and even then that just takes the edge off. I can’t imagine hiking with that injury!

[@gregharmon3797]

That story about Dormat’s brother was hilarious

[@michaelcahill6924]

What kind of backpack or bag did Doormat have?? Obviously I'm very curious.

[@Pack.Leader]

You picked up "The" Perk? Long bushy beard, bald on top? How funny! Like Chris Overholster mentioned already, he and Dixie (Homemade Wanderlust) are buds. OMG! That broken femur story at the very end was awesome. How did he snap his femur so cleanly? Glad that vulture went away hungry. Wow.

[@nobison6185]

I'm curious about Doormat's bag. Is that a DIY pack made from a feed sack? Cool story though.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Yes it is. He's made a lot of his accessories for camping and they've been working out great for him

[@NA-yx5kz]

What glue did you use to glue your insole down? I bought aftermarket insoles for my Men's Nova 2 GORE-TEX, but the right insole keeps moving while walking.

[@FrozensAdventures]

A couple drops of shoe glue.

[@cgriggsiv]

Awesome video young man it seems you are having a fantastic time congratulations on that doormat had a very interesting story feel sorry for his brother keep on hiking and enjoy your nights and days and by the way if you smoke that cigar you're going to regret it later on in your lungs

[@scottdouglas9682]

Nope, you don't inhale cigars. It should never be near your lungs.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Thanks CG. Yes you don't inhale cigars. Just meant for a relaxation and tasteful experience

[@LJ-pp9wj]

Good amt of snow up on presidential range right now. (5/1/2019) if that helps

[@FrozensAdventures]

Yes we are a little worried about timing.

[@bubbajayy12345]

I was just wondering how big is your food bag I'm trying to find out really what the most common size that people use. what is your opinion?

[@FrozensAdventures]

Mine is the standard size from liteAF. It's good for four full days of through hiker food. It could probably hold five to six normal days of normal weekend backpacker food

[@bubbajayy12345]

@@FrozensAdventures what is the #of liters

[@allenbishop9154]

I visualized the old cartoon of the 2 buzzards talking, with the caption "Patience my arse, I'm gonna kill something!!" with that last story. Safe travels

[@kimberly1567]

Would be a great state to D/L and often play For Those About To ROCK, We Salute You (AC/DC)

[@joepeters5796]

A vulture ... Thanks for sharing ;)

[@joedyer1785]

WOW

[@brib9716]

Have you commented on how those Olympus shoes are working out?

[@stephenhiker9807]

he said they were better than the lone peak due to the cushioning.

[@turkeywalker7046]

I’m curious to know if the “Perk” mentioned on this video is the “Perk” from Dixie’s videos.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Different Perk lol

[@joepassa5322]

G’day!, What was the nice guitar music at start of video?, tks

[@FrozensAdventures]

No idea. I subscribe to epidemic sounds music service.

[@frolege1]

You can always go to Harper's Ferry another time (with your girlfriend) for a weekend after you finish AT. Then you can do your 4 state challenge.

[@RickStoneTravels]

I've seen Perk

[@sharonssheshed]

His story had me laughing so hard.

[@cgriggsiv]

At work right now and I will watch it later on tonight to thumbs-up you keep on hiking

[@kellyfollin7407]

Sounded like you said “hot” brownies, But closed captions wrote “pot” brownies…… Was it Hot or Pot😊 Gotta know !! Binge watching on Ep 29 , How many videos are there of your AT hike?

[@FrozensAdventures]

Here's the playlist. There are 66 videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6K5aWauq856hsk

[@SF-mz3rw]

How do you NOT feel a broken femur?!? Sheesh! I gotta hear the full story!!

[@johnschmitt3083]

Hoping for a follow up here. The Femur is a very big bone and usually needs a lot of force for breaking it fully.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Clean break. We saw the x-rays. His tendons and muscles swelled up so much it held the femur in place. It was quite amazing.

[@SF-mz3rw]

Oh wow! That is amazing and quite lucky, as well!!

[@john-davidchambers2496]

👍

[@chrisarchilla9260]

Did u say "pot brownie"

[@csalm77]

👊🏼💪🏻

[@stephanietweedy5124]

Looks like Artimus has removed all her videos. I know she had some trouble with trolls...but I sure do miss her videos. Do you have any contact with her? Just hoping she is okay.

[@FrozensAdventures]

I texted her a few weeks ago telling her not to respond to people that make her upset and to just type her own hike but I have not heard anything since then. I don't deal with drama at all but I know that there is a lot circulating around her and scoutmaster from last year

[@kenbayard6737]

Man you're moving.

[@jimdickey2589]

The way the weather been here in NH, keeping that 30 degree is a good call! We have been averaging 10 degree below normal this spring. Few years back backpacking in July, we woke to 30 degrees near South Twin. Great videos man!

[@BradHikes]

Pitiful gear explosion! But we all know that's a good thing!

[@1moremile485]

LOL 😂 Literally

[@paulwright2335]

Your channel is getting better..Like a kid in the woods.

[@davidschmude]

Stick with those people you're hiking with as much as you can. They seem like cool folks. BTW, I hate to say it but Gary grew a better beard on his thru hike. Keep trying, though. :)

[@FrozensAdventures]

Yeah my beard doesn't grow long at this grows thick

[@stevenj6070]

Still walking with a broken femur? I don't know about that one. Cool story and all, but I'd ask to see the xray.

[@FrozensAdventures]

We've all seen his X-ray trust me it's legit

[@FrozensAdventures]

Apparently the tendons and muscles around the bone had been so inflamed it was actually holding his femur in place allowing him to keep walking but he had an extreme limp. Doctors were really really confused until his x-rays came out

[@jasonlumactod339]

Mmmm...Founders IPA.

[@frolege1]

You need to get the star of the AT 2019 on your channel for an interview ..NOPE

[@ElkDogAdVANtures]

For a first time AT thruhiker, Frozen gets my vote for star of 2019.

[@frolege1]

@@ElkDogAdVANturesLynn first timer yes, but lots of experience hiking since 2014. Still a great accomplishment either way. NOPE is so quirky and fun and Frozen is too serious at times and seems to be too much focus on BIG MILES whereas, Baskets, Garden State and Nope just do the big miles and don't emphasize it. But, as they say, Hike Your Hike.

[@FrozensAdventures]

They've also done many many many more miles than me. Baskets has hiked the AT multiple times and nope is a triple crowner. I am not a serious person, people just take me seriously.
