FROZEN..DUDE JUST HIKE YOUR HIKE AND UPLOAD WHEN YOU CAN MAN! ENJOY YOUR HIKE DONT WORRY ABOUT US! HAPPY TRAILS!!!

[@tarasimpson1018]

chris edwards agree 100%!!!

[@janelledowney]

I'm not sure what you mean by "getting over" being introverted. There's nothing wrong with being an introvert! I'm the happiest I've ever been since I embraced being an introvert.

[@kjhack]

I agree 100%! To be fair, sometimes it takes awhile to through off the stigma introversion still has. I'm 56, but wasn't totally comfortable with being an introvert until I reached 40.

[@JeffMeadowsOutdoors]

Yes. Introverted doesn’t necessarily mean shy or backwards. It more often involves just being more of a deep thinker. We ponder for hours to talk for minutes.

[@bahamajim1998]

Independence / introvert. Self reliance . wise man say if you have more than 5 social media platforms ......YOUR PROBABLY NOT INTROOOOOVEEERRRTED!

[@donmatulevich9411]

Glad you are happy with who you are. Part of being introverted is getting exhausted by interacting and socializing with larger groups and strangers. You can come across as being a loner or standoffish but we are who we are. There certainly isn’t anything “wrong” about it. People are inherently social creatures that want to belong and it just isn’t as easy for introverts to interact in some situations.

[@oldunion]

@@bahamajim1998 yeah I'd say there is a better term than introvert. As one I am horrified at the prospect of showing my face to 28k subscribers and all that comes with youtube, editing and broadcasting myself as well as self promotion. I like the company of others but I dont need it.

[@iberiksoderblom]

Each man his own pace. That also reflects upon social interactions. Being introvert is a qualitymark !!!

[@volvoguyV70R]

Great videos! Don't get so wrapped up in the social media crap that you don't take time for yourself. Keep hiking!

[@buzzboykin9982]

Never thought anyone could challenge Early Riser as my favorite, but you are doing so. Been following your channel a couple of years so I shouldn't have been suprised.

[@Ohiotruckerkat]

Know that “we” your suscribers that have been following you for a long time really just want to see you have a great time and destress. You have worked your ASS off to get here. Hike YOUR hike dude. Jam to some old school rock or whatever you want. Love seeing you smile!!

[@Boyu1]

Bruh i was here when you had less than 10k, so ecstatic at how much you've been growing and how much the cannel has grown. Love your videos, keep it up Frozen!

[@zabby8888]

Cheers from northern Minnesota SHT,Still have 4 feet of snow but starting to warm up 30's today.You are pumping me up for spring.Glad to see you attempting things that are not in your comfort zone..Be safe stay dry and keep on keeping on.

[@hhh5150]

Hey Frozen, I just wanted to say thank you for all of your videos! I've been watching for quite awhile and they're always great! Good luck out on the AT and go have the time of your life. Also, I wanted to add that my father who is 77 years old and has advanced prostate cancer really likes your vids of hiking in north central PA, it takes him back to the time when we lived around there and allows him to enjoy the area again. Thank you again for your channel and posts.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. It is good to see you on the trail again. You be safe out there and always remain humble and kind. Mother nature is always unpredictable, so be flexible. See you on the next one. 🤗

[@richkearney1093]

Your vids helped inspire me to thru hike the A.T. last year, and getting to watch you do it makes me happy! But dude, save that dough and get comfortable hitching...it will save ya almost a thousand bucks, and you'll meet some really kind-hearted people. Also, no one's gonna love ya any less if you have to stop responding to comments so as to enjoy your hike more...but your dedication to your subscribers is admirable, and not lost on us! Personally, I didn't LOVE the vibe of the staff at TOG hostel, but Im glad ya had a nice time. And lastly, you're an experienced hiker who already has his trail legs...so you're not doin anything wrong by himing the amount of miles you're hiking. Love ya bro, keep having fun out there, and enjoy Franklin (I highly suggest staying at Gooder Grove Hostel...and dont miss the free pancakes and bacon that the church does for hikers)!!

[@davidschmude]

I hope you got more video with Artemis than Artemis got with you. Following you both on your journey. You for the "matter of facts" of the trail and shit kickin' camera work, her for inspiration and entertainment. Thanks for the update. Hike on !!

[@OUTDOORS55]

Your channel is going to grow super fast man. This is going to be my go to entertainment till your finished. Dont get injured🙏 No reply necessary, keep living the dream 👍

[@tjjansma547]

It's IS the DREAM! 😊

[@oldladieshikingnorthonthea4261]

Great job and hike at your speed and not worry what others think!!! Thanks for taking us along and we know you're busy hiking, vlogging, eating, sleeping, washing clothes, replenishing food, gear , cooking, meeting others, so we don't expect you to answer questions too. You cover everything perfectly and we just love coming along with. Hike on and on !!!

[@donmatulevich9411]

You always surprise me with how worried you get with replying to all the comments and keeping subscribers happy. What are you gonna do when you hit 100k subscribers?! 😆 Do your thing and don’t worry so much.

[@MagisterCobb]

Thanks for your efforts to bring us along. Good stuff here!

[@TimWatsonOutdoors]

Still watching brother! We’ll watch, you hike!!

[@AmyandJohnsAdventures]

Loving the videos! Your attitude is awesome. We can’t wait to get out there in a couple weeks!

[@Gimmers18]

You seem like you are doing really well. I'll watch every single one! Good luck from England!

[@Saron206]

[@ronturcotte9221]

[@customcomm1000]

I hope things continue to go well for you. Great videos..I am looking forward to your whole trip.

[@karlreimers]

Thank you for posting this video- I really like them Jason! I would like to do this and I have been thinking about it for years! All the best!

[@floydmietus6624]

Living a dream brother keep it moving at your own pace hope you show more trail and animals

[@williamchee2935]

Enjoy the experience. I am learning a lot. Thanks for documenting your journey and the motivation you provide to make it happen.

[@hokulele4059]

Enjoying your videos Frozen. Appreciate the time you give to bring us along. Thank you!

[@mattbullock1673]

These by far are my most favorite hiking vids you have ever done.

[@serafinhikes]

Keep it up Frozen! Looking forward to passing you as I head South on the AT.

[@dubon811]

Watching you during my lunch break. Awesome videos!

[@mhgodzilla2055]

Really enjoying your thoughts, details, lodging notes and the journey. Glad to see your finding hammocking working on the AT. Be sure to keep updating us hangars about the ease or challenges for AT hammockers. Recently did Vesuvius Trail with my guys and rewatched your vid and Schill bros vids.

[@naturallyadriftphotoadvent123]

Good to see you are doing well! The colors in that sunrise made me wish I was there too to photograph it! Cabin fever is real up here in New York, the whole time watching I kept thinking man I want to get out (maybe next weekend). Scary wind and rain here today! Glad you are out living the dream, cheering for you!

[@joshsmith4373]

Have fun and don't worry about about anything other then enjoying the miles we understand!

[@1966magicmike]

Enjoy your videos, take in all you can on your thru hike,it’s beautiful out there on the trail. Hike on!!!!!!!

[@All_Things_Out_Doors]

Love the edit on the trail flix!!! Keep it up! I think the social piece would be difficult for me. It's hard for me to meet new people at first, but after a few interactions it gets easier for me.

[@SuperNovaRoxy]

Your videos inspire us to hike the AT. Have a safe hike .

[@spikester40]

Great hike so far!!! Excited for your journey!!! Safe hiking from Idaho!!!

[@davewalters9843]

Thanks for sharing your adventure. You will meet some amazing people on the trail. Be safe have fun! Last one to katahdin wins!!

[@theg-man7868]

Man, really enjoying sharing your journey. On the mileage thing, just listen to your body. Cheers from the UK.

[@wandawilloughby6052]

Have followed you for several years and am excited to watch you on the AT. Was surprised that the mountain was a challenge for you.

[@gregpatterson134]

Loving your approach to the trail so far. I'm local and yes, our GA AT sections are tough. But, you are handling it well and making good mileage. Thanks for taking us on your journey. Keep it up.

[@stephenhiker9807]

always appreciate seeing hammock setups

[@stephenx2857]

it's a real pleasure to see how excited and joyed (is that a word) you are on the trail. don't sweat the social media stuff, i think everyone understands you're doing a thru hike and might not be as available as usual. it's also nice to see you overcoming some of those hurdles... like shelters, and town visits. understandable iffy not having done them.... but you seem to be doing what you need to do to ensure a good hike. best of luck and safe travels

[@charlesmarsh279]

I am really enjoying your vlog. I hope and pray that this experience is everything that you hope. You are doing well. Just make sure you don’t push it too hard the first few weeks. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

[@Textheinfidel]

Awesome videos man...... Excited for your trip!!!! Just do your thing and worry about the upload as you go!!!

[@StevenZiegler]

Another great video, Frozen! As I've said before, I really appreciate your down-to-earth attitude! It makes your videos more watchable than others who are always on about how badass they are.

[@83anneM]

Hello from Norway. Awesome videoes and keep up the good work and be safe 😎🤘🤙👍

[@brucefluth3930]

Hey Frozen! Wishing you the best for the AT!! I’ll be hiking the Superior Hiking Trail several times this summer. Thanks for helping me, my son and friends get started hiking with your beginners hiking videos! Keep safe.

[@MrSrtman18]

Frozen, youre just a good hearted guy! Humble and sincere. Keep kicking butt Man!

[@jaredcampbell]

Thanks for these videos!!! You've inspired me to do a 7 day hike here in BC (west coast of Canada) called the West Coast Trail, I've put it off the last couple years but I've talked to my brother and we're going to do it this year. So thank you and keep em coming!

[@mdaync4962]

Just hike your hike! We will enjoy the vlogs whenever they get to us...past, present....future 😄. Just enjoy this adventure of a lifetime!

[@walkingwriter4325]

I started following AT (and other) thru hikers last year. Your channel is in the top tier. It's fun getting home after work and tuning in to the next episode as if turning on a golf or baseball game. Though each hike/game is the same, it's so interesting to watch how one unfolds compared to another. For instance, which sections of the trail are filmed depending on the hiker. Differences in commentary, interactions with others, how each hiker deals with adversity, etc. Each thru hike is like putting the same puzzle together in a different way. But make sure to soak in the moment from time to time and put everything else aside because you'll be in Maine before you know it. NRN (No reply necessary.) Safe travels!

[@fallenangel1129dm]

God bless you in this journey. Dannette from Puerto Rico

[@jasonwish-]

Glad to see everything is going good so far. I was very surprised to hear you say that the trail was tougher than anything else you have done! I almost ordered the Olympus 3.0's, but went with Timp 1.5's instead....so far they're awesome. Very envious of you right now! Someday, I'll get my chance!

[@uptrail7169]

Tooting your horn! 😂 You deserve the subs and good luck again with your AT Adventure. 👍

[@kjhack]

Just getting caught up on your videos. Enjoy the adventure ahead!

[@freddonelson5505]

Looks like all is going well! Glad to see the knees are working well. Once you hit week 3 or 4, those trail legs will kick in and you won't feel like every hill is kicking you butt!! Love some of the views ... thanks for sharing them! Keep on keeping on!! 😎😎

[@rachpump]

Yep don’t worry about us!! You take care you yourself. This hike is for you and I’m just happy we’re getting to join you! I’ve been a subscriber before you announced your AT hike and I’m so excited for your journey. Stay safe and enjoy yourself ❤️❤️

[@TeamEvansHealth]

Thanks for taking us along. We are watching because we wish we were doing it too. This could be a once in a lifetime experience, don’t let that camera and computer take you away from it. We appreciate what you are doing.

[@mattg2935]

Keep smiling. I love your attitude. Keep rockin.

[@justinemail111]

Just recently came across your channel. Awesome videos - I’m enjoying watching your hike. The PCT is on my bucket list someday, but the AT looks beautiful too! Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@serafinhikes]

The views on the PCT are breathtaking

[@perrythorvig6446]

I finally found someone to follow this year. I first saw your vlog on the Superior HT in my home state of Minnesota. I enjoy your videos even if you are a Penguin's fan. Stay healthy. By the way, Early Riser was at TOG on Feb 20 after day 5 on the trail.

[@jamielukens9810]

First time watching your page great job my friend! Me and my son plan to hike a section of the AT in Georgia this year 👌🇺🇸🏃

[@tleon1960]

Been following you for years. Great job so far on the trail. I think a lot of viewers would be interested in the following info: Days since you started, Day/Date of the week you are filming, weather conditions, where you leaving from and going to, mileage for the day and info like that. As a backpacker getting ready to try this thru-hike in a couple of years, that information is important and fun to follow how you compared to other hikers are doing (not a competition, but a comparison reference). Thanks again for the videos, stay safe and enjoy.

[@allenbishop9154]

Frozen, HYOH, the vlogs come when they come, get a hot meal when you can while the temps are cold. Safe travels

[@marcbarnett9953]

Dude, I love living vicariously through thru hikers. That being said, you should absolutely worry about enjoying yourself and getting the most from this experience. The social media will be here when you are finished. Post when you can and rock on north!

[@cgriggsiv]

Looks like everything is going fantastic even though it's only been 5 days Beautiful views valleys and vistas Not to mention beautiful sunrises and sunsets I don't know about the Stars gazing From the sounds of it everything seems to be working perfectly yes they AT will kick your butt I have watched quite a few people now including you on the AT that say the exact same thing on the first two weeks and sometimes for weeks little bit in the until you get your trail legs then it tends to be a little easier but don't forget you also have your friend called Gary that was just on it not too long ago kudos to him Keep on hiking and hanging

[@emilyhunt6467]

I'm from Georgia...it's an awesome state!!! I love that the AT starts there and people get to see the mountains there. Glad you are having your 'bucket list' event! It's so hard to capture everything while you are trying to have an experience like that...just enjoy! I love hearing your chat style and talking to the camera and all the effort you put into this work. The video stuff is tough when you're having to wait for the computer stuff...it's very worth watching and you do a great job with it! Stop apologizing...it's all good man...you're on the AT!!!

[@azdesertrunner56]

Just enjoy...we will be here waiting..not going anywhere. You are doing that 😂. Great videos so far. Thanks.

[@ArnieLovesHiking]

You are an experienced hiker, you know your body, and you know what you need mentally to succeed. You'll be fine. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@livesoutdoors1708]

Thankyou for inspiring me to try hammocks. I’m older and had been finding ground dwelling harder and not as restful as in my younger days. I’m still on the learning curve but so far sleeping has been so wonderful and comfortable I never want to sleep on the ground again!

[@monicawarner8164]

Frozen... Greetings from Pennsylvania... I am thrilled to see your videos.. Remember you are doing this adventure for you... enjoy and let the rest flow.

[@ducaticanine]

love ur channel man and this thru hike. badass as eff. i gotta do it myself at some point. imagine the folks who did this years back with no internet, cell phones, much heavier bulkier equipment and much less hikers overall. interesting. still. major RESPECT!

[@briancolson5179]

I have enjoyed your AT thru hike videos and really appreciate you sharing your journey. Don't let the pressure of videos and uploading get in the way of you enjoying your hike. Also, nothing wrong with being an introvert. I am one also. We are energized by solitude and that's just how we are wired. Don't force yourself to socialize if you aren't feeling it. Good luck and God bless!

[@theaverageviewer6331]

Keep it up , really enjoying your Vids.

[@cgriggsiv]

Remember just take it easy watching you watch out for your back and any strains you might have don't worry about the filming so much all right just have fun

[@kmat7163]

I’m a AT section hiker (leaving in 2 weeks to complete Top of Georgia (dicks creek gap) to Fontana dam. I love the hiking but also the people and stories of why they are on trail are amazing.

[@kirkcallaway4242]

Enjoy your videos. Following 5 folks and you're by far the most interesting. Each has their own story, demons and motivations. Do what makes you happy and forget any naysayers you come across. After they give up, they'll be watching you finish. Best of luck and be safe.

[@adlacz7691]

hey Frozen, thanks for the uploads. We really don't mind the "delay", of course you're expected to upload only when it's comfortable. Happy trip sir!

[@richarddoolin2394]

Greetings from a fellow Yinzer. Keep up the good work. Every year I watch 1 primary person; Red Beard, Dixie, Early Riser, Spielberg etc. I think you are now in good company.

[@Alanguz1]

Most subscribers to your channel understand what you’re trying to balance. Your hike is priority #1 and many of us are thrilled for you.

[@darciclark4991]

Just found your channel, I usually just watch PCT hikes so this is kind of fun.

[@rodmancappiello2285]

As I sit with my torn ACL and Surgery in a week, I watch your hike with envy. I've been following you for a while now and I can relate on a lot of levels. I won't be attempting my AT thru until retirement in 2024 SOBO(because I'm also introverted). It's been a dream since I was about 12 years old. I just wanted you to know that these videos motivate me to get better and hit the trail. Keep kicking ass and enjoy every moment!

[@backpackerdad6905]

Go Frozen Go!!! Love the videos. Let us know about the Altra Olympus works out. Don’t worry about the posting schedule.

[@winkhvac62]

Looking, good buddy keeps trucking.

[@TheTrailTrekker]

Best of luck! I start March 22nd, in case you didn't know you can print out your backcountry pass for the Smokies at the NOC!

[@tarasimpson1018]

Really enjoying your videos!

[@bahamajim1998]

Your ready man . got the mental game down . seem to be in shape . youth is on your side. Keep goin brother . and keep the mental aspect strongest💪

[@BMad-we6qf]

I agree. I have been following you, Frozen, for a while and you are not a newbie hiker hitting the trails for the first time. Will this be a challenge for you? Certainly. But you are prepared and conditioned. You will probably not have the same hardships that many other hikers are facing. Stay healthy and the mileage will take care of itself. Just don’t forget to embrace this experience. Hike YOUR hike. ;) Best Wishes!!!!!

[@TooTall_hikes]

Love your footage. I've only seen your movie which is pretty awesome by the way.

[@keveck86]

No worries frozen, you're doing great!

[@maryellenhikes5953]

You have no idea how much the trail is going to change you brother. A month from now you’ll be laughing at yourself for many things. Just go with the flow and relish those moments. You’re doing great. Be deliberate in your steps and think good thoughts! 🙂👊🏻

[@claramullen]

Hope you stayed warm though that cold weather Jason. You look like you are walking strong without the knee brace hope that stays good for you.

[@WoodsTrekkinAdventures]

Yeah Jason, the ATis a different beast. I do my training at the Archer's Fork loop in Ohio. Its as close as I can get to simulating the AT around my house. But, after spending around 19 days on the AT over the last two summers, i can honestly say that AF is not even close. Best of luck brother!
