Bug nets are a necessary evil at times. Gets hot and sweaty underneath but sure beats the biting swarming bugs in the face. Chuck carries your extra water weight?? Whaaaaat. Now that’s a good hiking partner!!

[@heather__hikes]

I married a good one haha 🥹

[@sharonwarner6800]

I'm glad you had some reprieve from the heat!!

[@andrewhamm6135]

Damn what a fly. Little jeff goldblum. Be gingerly on the ankles 😁 keep up the good hike

[@natalieseitz9543]

❤ being able to support y’all during that brutal heat!

[@heather__hikes]

Life savers! Literally!

[@nanabd]

Chuck,PSA... before hucking a loogie, lift bug net. 😉

[@heather__hikes]

🤣

[@sheilahenry7279]

Lots of miles in the heat! Be careful.

[@heather__hikes]

🥵

[@tresannrn8454]

Hey you Guys… great video as always. I see those bug nets as a great tactical defense mode. I hate that my nose and mouth are landing pads for those lil creatures… lol trek poles safely down wherever you are today! Take care of each other and thank you… for taking us along! Means the world to me.✌️🙂💚

[@heather__hikes]

@@tresannrn8454 yea those bug nets are saving my life!

[@Flipperwi715]

Arm chair surfer says to self: "Oh light green water today. " I enjoy the color changes. Don't care how I would look, I would have a bug net. lol

[@heather__hikes]

I love my bug net ahahaha

21 in that heat is amazing, bug nets are a win. Wonder if the person leaving the notes is the same that writes under the bridge just outside of Port Clinton? Im not sure i would touch anything barehanded. Doing great. Thanks for sharing

[@heather__hikes]

We had that same thought when we went under that bridge too

[@KrizAkoni]

OMG, you read it out loud! Now you’ve summoned the word salad god… beware of the yeti… 😳

[@heather__hikes]

😳🙈

[@suemoore1965]

Every thru hiker is having to use a bug net now😢

[@maureenviola]

Including in Yosemite on the PCT

[@heather__hikes]

I have one on as I type this 🤣

[@AmyStoneYT]

I LOVE your Sports Bra! I’m looking for a new one… can you share the brand/style names? Keep smiling and stay cool!

[@heather__hikes]

It’s the Outdoor Voices All Time bra!

[@davesanti1]

Hey guys, I referred your KZbin channel to my favorite podcaster Mighty Blue who follows AT through hikers on his podcast every year. He is a fantastic interviewer and I hope you guys decide to work with him....

[@heather__hikes]

@@davesanti1 I saw his message the other night! I told him we’re down 🙂

[@davesanti1]

@@heather__hikes Fantastic!... that will be fun and provide a different perspective on what you guys are up to.

[@leslieperlman5913]

FYI, it's pronounced skoo-kill. 😄

[@heather__hikes]

Ty! I was struggling trying to figure it out haha

[@leslieperlman5913]

You got me curious! Here’s from google : Schuylkill, which means “hidden river,” was named by Dutch settlers who discovered the river's mouth near the Delaware River's League Island in the early 1600s. Prior to that time, the river was called Ganoshowanna, meaning “falling water,” by the Lenape who lived in the area that is now West Philadelphia.

What is it about us southern girls that can’t handle icy water? :)

[@heather__hikes]

I’m a delicate flower 🤣

[@debkheiry5846]

@@heather__hikes😂 yeah right. :)

[@Mwilke3789]

Fun fact: Amino acid powder as a supplement is the most DISGUSTING thing I've ever taken. So anything with that as an added ingredient is going to meh at best.

[@heather__hikes]

Oh you find? I used to drink BCAAs all the time during workouts haha. Optimum Nutrition has a flavor that tastes exactly like a pink starburst and it’s so delicious 🤤

[@markviers998]

I don't know, that didn't look like "it's good" kind of face. 😆

[@tomprendergast7187]

Is chuck wearing a screen

[@amynapier3551]

It's a bug net. The bugs get pretty bad out there.

[@heather__hikes]

@@tomprendergast7187 we both had bug nets on throughout the day - the gnats are horrible. They constantly fly into my eyes 🥲

[@tomprendergast7187]

After all this time on the trail, do YA'LL have official trail names

[@amynapier3551]

Heather - Yard Sale Chuck - One Hit Wonder

[@heather__hikes]

@@tomprendergast7187 yup! Amy beat me to the answer haha! But I’m Yard Sale and Chuck is One Hit Wonder

[@sheilahenry7279]

BUT, she still hasn’t said how or why he got that name😂😂😂
