[@MrUltralight55]

I would say she followed her dream whether accidental or not and that is something so many folks will never do, but I wouldn’t call her a “hero”.

@@MrUltralight55 he said that she was HIS hero. That doesnt call for your input

[@jackgardner2514]

@@fredwells7403 @mrultralight55 is making a reference to the U.S. Military. though frankly they sleep in pretty nice F.O.B. bunkers and barely ever bivvy, also they don't hike they drive. So the semantics of his argument is weak as well as the sentiment as the fact that someone can be someone's personal hero without being automatically compared to the U.S. Military. His subtextual argument that Robert Blalock is disrespecting the troops by his statement that Dixie is his hero is frankly just stupid. I teach, I have had kids say i'm their hero. I had my life saved by an EMT once, he is my hero. Our troops live life in a hostile warzone, or provide back up and labor after a natural disaster, or keep illegal weapons and drugs from entering our borders, they are our country's heroes. I just can't stand the bullshit, let's start a fight so I can show how much I love America, and freedom, and eagles and shit. If you have received or retained a fifth grade education, you got the Context of Blalock's statement. "But the Troops...." just seems weirdly out of context. Mr. ultralight is automatically stating that: The teacher who talked a kid out of suicide that weekend isn't anyone's hero. The Paramedics that save lives aren't heroes The Basketball coach that inspires a kid to go to college isn't a hero. A Step parent who comes in and deals with all the baggage and loves a child as if they weren't their own isn't a hero. Heroes are people who make a difference whether it's to one person or a million. In the beginning of this quarantine, these thru hikers inspired me to get moving more and to do what it took to take my own adventure. consequently, I was 523 In January... I started with diet but once we started Quarantine in Mid MArch I started walking every day. My first walk I went a quarter of a mile. It's 3 months later and now I'm 418 and walking 3 miles a day, 5 days of the week and i get a mile and a half walk in on the off days. So to me these guys are my heroes because they showed me how rewarding it can be when you just get out there and do the damn thing.

I’ve thought about hiking the AT for a few years, and I’ve decided to start thru-hiking because of you. I’ve finally gotten to a place in my life where I like myself and have no more regrets about life, so I’m psychologically ready to accept, and take responsibility for, anything that happens on the trail. Thank you, you’ve given me the courage to do it. ❤

Guess i'll just say it again... "Tough as Nails." Aaron and Perk, you guys rock! Thank you for taking us with you. :)

[@rolfdenver]

I loved this, especially when you were cracking up. Your love for each other and for life in general shines through.

[@davidjohn316]

Just finished all three of your trail documentaries and I extend my congratulations on your successful completion of the Triple Crown. I'm also enjoying the rest of your channel ...your one of the bravest women I know taking on these incredible adventures and sharing them with the rest of the world ... Happy Trails ... :-)

[@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!

[@alexanderweaver9182]

Congratulations to you, Aaron and Perk for this amazing accomplishment! Kudos for a job well done. What an adventure. Your filming prowess was incredible.

[@RickStoneTravels]

Seen this before, but I'm sitting here this morning drinking my coffee just loving rewatching this. Thru-hiking a shorter trail next month but I'm so excited!

[@doryliggett8407]

Just amazing! I had to rewind so many sections. Watched that cougar contemplate its course of action 4 times. The stars..... loved your journey.

[@gretchenvosburgh4061]

So sad this was the last one - I've enjoyed watching SO much but so happy for you!!

If you're subscribed you'll already know, but just in case you aren't, Dixie and her sister Montana hiked the Camino in Spain/France this autumn. It's on her channel :) I thought it'd be a shame if you weren't aware and noone told you. Happy holidays.

[@12gaDefender]

the shot of your legs shaking after Grays Peak was priceless 1:14:23, anyone who has done their share of climbing knows that feeling...great story telling ;)

[@theodoreyoungman2111]

There are some videos I have found on youtube that need a heart instead of just a thumbs up. This is one of them. You have a way of dragging us along with you and inspiring in the best way. Thank you.

[@nedjinski]

Watching this again for the second time - Wow! what an amazing adventure - and fantastic footage under the circumstances - you guys rocked that one.

[@rickarmiger4484]

I just finished watching this..it’s 11:39pm on May 20th here right now in Md...I’ve watched a lot of thru hiking videos over the past few months but nothing that compares to this. I felt like I was with you...the beauty at points took my breath away even sitting on my couch streaming this to my 65” tv. I paused the video several times just to enjoy the beauty. You are truly an Amazing woman!! I’m a grown man and I have to admit I teared up at the end when completed your Triple Crown!!! Thank you so much for taking us all along on this Adventure. Now I have to go back and watch all your other videos because this one just started playing after another video I was watching... Thanks again...I can’t wait to see what’s in store for you next!! Don’t let that “Mummy” Ever catch up!!

[@SantanaB86]

Gorgeous video. I’ve been with you on your triple crown and it makes my days sitting in my cubicle much better.

[@kennethschlegel3467]

Congratulations on completing the Triple Crown, your documentaries are very entertaining, you may very well be one of the toughest and most entertaining, funny and spirited thru hikers to share your experiences with the common viewers.

[@butchlewis2136]

Thanks for the video. You are a Rock Star!!! Thanks for sharing your life, you have made an impact on mine. Love ya Gal!!!

[@darylbergmann7345]

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

[@1977Mappy]

Absolutely inspired, I absolutely enjoyed watching, & following your Triple crown adventure. Outstanding content, keep showing up. Thanks

[@4potslite169]

I did the AT several yrs ago and was looking at the PCT next when Covid hit and you know...permitting. Your brilliant Triple Crown docs have helped me to live vicariously until things open up. Can’t thank you enough for all the extra work it was to make these available! When my friends and family accuse me of having rocks in my head for long distance backpacking, all I have to do is point them your way....Ever Onward!

[@BrentonCarr]

Congratulations! Great fun to watch. I'd love you to have included more of the off trail, zero days, and camping experiences. Thanks!

[@jeffmcgrath2202]

Dixie im so glad that i found you 3 years ago .i was at a very low point in my lifehaving just had valve replacement surgery .you have grown so much during the triple crown, your mama must be really proud!

[@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!

[@Bea_Strong]

Amazing!!!! Incredible video! This is So cool!!! I think it’s the first time I’ve ever been interested in watching something this long on KZbin! I was invested completely! What an incredible journey to witness! You’re amazing! Congrats!!!

[@lisbeeth1647]

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

[@MysticTarotwithTiffany]

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

[@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

[@jasonmarchant4057]

I am so glad I found your thru-hikes and your channel- very inspiring in these difficult times.

[@richeretrudeau226]

What an amazing adventure! You made me cry ugly tears at the end. Congratulations on finishing the triple crown. What a QUEEN!!! 👑👑👑
