I will be checking more of your channel. Thanks again, greetings from Kansas City.

[@lowvoltage4104]

From a guy in MN, you are the kind of southern belle I dream about. Humble, kind, charming, passionate, stubborn and determined. Come up for a visit to the Boundary Waters. Feel like we're family after watching that adventure. Congrats on the tri-crown.

[@ghc26]

Inspirational. Loved seeing the three of you finish together. I also loved hearing your stories and perspectives. Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈

[@stephaniew2545]

This is an absolutely amazing movie! I have watched you through all three hikes and you are an inspiration! Congratulations on your triple crown and THANK YOU for bringing us along the way!! (Aaron....perfect editing! Thanks to you too!)

[@richardbristol452]

Dixie, You are simply amazing!Thanks for sharing all of your adventures with us and for being such an inspiration as we all embark on our own. You are a gift. God Bless you.

[@wyleewaterwitch]

My 3rd time watching this series all the way thru! ❤ and every time I watch them, I want that Triple Crown more and more.

[@sierraseb3311]

Excellent documentary on all three Big Ones! Thank you for allowing us to hear the sounds of the wind, of streams, of birds, of the crunch of the trail and not covering it up with continuous music. You were very judicious with your inclusion of music and I VERY much appreciate it. Congratulations 🍾

[@richardanderson2411]

When I first came upon your videos my thoughts were, here is a competent young woman who enjoys the outdoors. After viewing your triple crown videos I've concluded you are a world class athlete. To say I'm impressed would be a gross understatement. Having grownup within sight of the AT and having hiked sections of all three, I can categorically say that compared to you I'm definitely a fair weather trekker.

[@russellbush6323]

I absolutely don't know when I've watched anything and had so much fun. It was truly like being with you guys every step. What a privilege it was to watch this documentary. I am so very proud to share this planet with y'all. Kudos to the young lady from Opelika Alabama!

[@arnaudlust9449]

Hi from Belgium Dixie! I followed you during you PCT and CDT and I loved it! Congrats for this marvelous movie you guys built!

[@gillianorley]

It’s good to see someone putting on a tie to go hiking through the desert. We’ve became much too casual lately.

[@TaleRavenTarot]

Your hiking documentaries have been such a balm during COVID. Getting to see so much beautiful nature while stuck at home, and getting a small taste of the trails and your journey has been incredible. Thank you for making these videos and taking us all along with you.

Happy New Year and Happy Trails!

[@ladybughomer]

Excellent movie. Congratulations to you and Aaron for both the “hike” and giving us a chance to experience the hike through your eyes.

[@Itz_a_prado78]

Thank you. I’m planning my first hike on the AT first I’m going to be stationed in SAsebo, Japan where I will start my training. I retire in 6 years at 47. You have been a huge inspiration to myself and everyone who watched it. Everyday is a new adventure.

[@O-ShinSpringsWater]

Slice some lemon stuff it in the water gargle spit out when you have dry mouth. Wow incredible mountain view thanks for sharing your video. Hiking trails here in the states stretch for miles. Am from a small island hiking trails would not take five days to finish.

[@bargleboy]

Dang Dixie, I am rewatching this and once again so blown away by how tough you are, and what a great attitude you have throughout. You are one cool, inspiring woman. And major props to Aaron for sticking out all that craziness and finishing!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful adventures with us and putting up so much useful info for aspiring hikers like myself ☺️

[@hikersteph]

I went on my first solo backpacking trip last April, and I remember thinking how cool it was to be out backpacking by myself at the same time as you were hiking the CDT. And now, I'm starting the PCT on April 6th! Might be a long shot, but I would seriously die of happiness if I bumped into you and your mama out on the trail :)

[@raeperonneau4941]

The one thing I’ve never considered taking on a hike is an umbrella. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing all of this. If all I ever do is the Colorado portion, I would be happy.

[@josephgregory308]

If you had to give up something to BACKPACK the ridge up Grays, then it was a worthy sacrifice. How spectacular! You have wonderful filming/editing/hiking skills. Bravo!

[@faithbeltz2040]

1:19:30 was giving me a heart attack, when hair stands up and static that means electricity is running through the ground for lighting withing 1,000 feet of your location!!!

[@Kevdog.]

I cried when you made it to Canada 🏁🇨🇦 Congratulations 🎉👸🏼👑👑👑

[@MysticTarotwithTiffany]

I literally can watch this over and over. I cry every time with Jess at the end. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@krisztinawagner2437]

i really enjoyed watching this video. I'm leaving for Camino de Primitivo tomorrow and I'm really excited.lot of love from Hungary

[@bigbranch1]

A big thank you for a terrific walk across our land....the end brought tears.....

[@benbehmer]

A saying we have here in Colorado for the weather is: 5 minutes or 5 miles. The wearer changes so frequently every day, especially during the summer

[@Brandon-11]

Even though I’ve watched all the vlogs for the cdt I’m ready to see how the movie turns out! Movie was fantastic as usual! Dixie you’re my idol!

[@hallman321]

Even though I watched all of these clips as you posted them, THIS WAS AWESOME!!! Better than anything on Discovery Channel or Netflix. Great job editing. What an epic adventure!! Thank you Dixie!

[@vicsaul5459]

concur

[@oldkingspook]

I've had such terrible cabin fever this January (2022). I'm on my own hike, not physical, but with something I've been working on for a long time and I have been burned out in every way possible. This helped get me out of the blues, and to get moving again. Thanks, Dixie.

[@lisbeeth1647]

Wow!! Y’all really earned that one! Going through those snow passes! Phew glad y’all made it!!🎉

[@darylbergmann7345]

Great videos, I just watched all 3 through hikes. Thanks for sharing. I am inspired by your motivation.

[@douglassmith2946]

Fabulous job on the film. Dixie you are one tough lady and an example to all of us but especially women, that you can do anything if you are willing to do the work and believe in yourself. Congrats from Wetumpka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[@andreabritz4572]

Your videos have inspired me to get out and I started backpacking last summer. Much shorter trips, but at least I am out there in nature exploring CO. I am dreaming of one day through hiking the CT. Until then, I will enjoy every day hike and backpacking trip. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@Gemmahaven]

I thank you for showing how beautiful this beloved country of ours. You’re encouraging us to spend more outdoor and enjoy nature.

[@robertcombs8664]

Your video was wonderful!! Inspiring and Beautiful!! Thank you for the preview. 375 days left till I take the 1st step.
