Day 149 & 150 | Southern Maine is Hard | Bethel, ME & The Cabin | Appalachian Trail 2021

[@deannefalise2784]

I couldn't tell if you were crying or gasping for air until you said about your meltdown. So glad to be watching your journey. This video was a nice end to my day. The way you film it, I almost feel like I am there. Thanks so much!

[@stacywarner8236]

You're videos are very good. Really real. You show parts of the trail no one else has shown. You bring everyone in to your hike. You will love watching these in the future.

[@rockercover]

16:03 Looks like you are walking through a field of 💐, having those colorful leaves on the ground. Beautiful lake view also. Thanks again for recording these special finds. 😊

[@CLTHIKER]

That shuttle driver is living the dream!!

[@vickifg13]

I just love your trail family all of you fit together so nicely. Happy Thoughts is a wonderful person to be hiking with. Loved the video today and thank you for sharing your bad an awesome days with us.🏔⛺️🥾💕💕

[@waltermaner5265]

Love the summit dancing

[@ALONE_IN_THE_DARKNESS1107]

You guys are killing it i enjoy ur videos so much thank u for taking the time and patience to make them so we can enjoy the trail with you god bless

[@richardross7219]

At 7:20 you showed your plate and said that your grandma has those too. I bought a set of them in 1976 and still use them. My wife had a set too so it became a large set when we combined households. The corningware and corelware of that era were very good. Good Luck, Rick

[@madratter]

It's so true that the friends help you through. When one is up the others may be down. Together we push on 😎💪👣❤️

[@franksheridan9322]

Kell that was a heavy episode I really enjoyed hugging your spirit on this one that was trippy

[@bryanford1139]

At 11:28 I was thinking "Jeez, this girl is what, 1500-1600 miles in and she's still got the fire in her belly for this adventure" Then I heard you break at 17:03. And your comrades lift you back up at 18:00. The same thing happens in the military when your buddies look you in the eye and tell you to "embrace the suck!" They provide the mental booster to help you keep on puttin' one foot in front of the other. And I suspect that these people will be your "Brothers and Sisters in arms" in the same way. The bond you'll have made with them will probably last for the rest of your lives. (Maybe even all 9 of them) :)

[@damonr-fk5rp]

The doggy was welcoming you guys to his cabin.

[@LinneaMae68]

Haven't been watching hiking videos because of life crap... But omg the joy to tune in and see Kelly and Happy Thoughts together??? Wtf have I missed? How did this happen???

[@Justusson]

Thanks for allowing us to live vicariously through your hike! I have ME/CFS, but hope to get better and be able to do something like this myself someday. ♥️ 🤞

[@leabuttrick9055]

More stunning New England scenery. Gotta love Maine & NH! Love your tramily. What's not to love about Toasty! Keep smilin' and savor every step of the remainder of your adventure.

[@tvtoms]

Nice to see everyone getting together with the support out there. I think I'd have a full on mucus draining cry on the first mile, haha.

[@clm2417]

Awesome videos Kelly. Getting so excited for your finish. (Even though I know you finished) Makes me happy to see you all having so much fun.

[@OntheWrightPath]

You’re really lucky to have found your tramily.

[@dannythecamper4186]

Nice video, with some good views, nice water fall, so let's keep on hiking

[@tacklebill4835]

You are definetly blessed with a great Tramily. It's a beautiful thing you guys got goin' on.

[@robinhoward4204]

I was thinking before you mentioned it - your tramily is fabulous 👌

[@chrisjuarez72]

Everyone's finishing their thru-hike...😪 I'm glad you still have more videos coming 👏 Can't wait for the 100 mile wilderness 🤭 I had a storm chasing me, had to do it 3 day's, thank you for sharing your adventure 👍 OneGear, PCT 16, AT 19 ✌💚

[@nickhikesinthewoods6150]

Great video awesome views I like that acoustic guitar part you had in there great friends the mental breakdowns will come and go but you was out there because you love doing it and you didn't quit and that's awesome

[@mikemiller2720]

Best video yet! Thanks for capturing Kelly 😊

[@robertmccoy347]

We love that Kelly Girl and the rest of the group! Thanks for sharing your adventure!!!

[@andrewscott3415]

Another great episode in the woods… 😻

[@MaxZomboni]

I sensed a very strong vortex around that cabin. Great fall colors. 👣😎👍☮️

[@eeyore1197]

That was mighty nice of Colin Robinson to give you a ride.

[@Scott_Atlanta]

We had those same Corelle green pattern plates when I was a kid. I think I even took some when I went to college and could still have one.

[@maxrun934]

Another great section, really tough....go team.

[@gratefulhikes]

Hey Kelly! I am loving the 4k video! Keep it up if you can! What a beautiful wind storm! Really shows the power of nature. Yea that is a moose knuckle if I’ve ever seen one. “Make sure you actually get me”😂 Toasty has been doing a great job and its nice to see you hiking. Maine is not disappointing so far. I love love love how rugged the trail is. I think everyone’s grandma has those plates! My grandmas were blue. I wish I had them. 20 miles in Maine is legit, even slack packing! Well done! I’m glad you had some awesome weather for the spectacular views up there. Such an amazing section. It really seemed like you guys were powered by laughter today, even with the low points. It was so inspiring to see❤️ I will admit the crying was hard to hear, but we all know it happens. It’s the strongest ones that let it happen, learn from it, and move forward from it. Huge thanks to the group for supporting each other. You all rock. 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well. -Grateful

[@kellyhays23]

Does the 4k make a difference?? I been trying to edit on my laptop but it’s so old and slow it’s been such a struggle. My new one should be coming in at the end of January. Hoping it comes in sooner🙏 20 miles was def a morale boost after all those short days in the whites!

[@gratefulhikes]

@@kellyhays23 your days in the whites weren’t that short lol you kicked butt there! And yes the 4k makes a huge difference! It’s like contacts in vs contacts out 😂 as long as the footage was captured in 4k I would try to keep it 4k. I feel ya about the older laptop. If your video is 4k it shouldn’t have to process it very much. It will take time to upscale non-4k footage to 4k though. But you upload whatever you want! It is all great and I for one love seeing you all live your best lives! Be well and thanks again for sharing 🙏

[@MaxZomboni]

OMG thanks for mentioning the 4K. I will have to go an watch the last couple of videos again on a large monitor.

[@MaxZomboni]

​@@kellyhays23 If your original footage was shot in 4K, then I think it's worth it for you to upload in 4K. Watching 4K hiking videos on a 4K monitor is just mind blowing, especially if the scenery is great like mountain top views and stuff. Of course viewers who don't have 4K monitors won't notice any difference. But uploading in 4K will also increase the value of your videos in the long term. 4K is fast becoming the new standard. So the quicker you adopt the batter. 👍

[@johnqpublic3165]

@@kellyhays23 I like 4K but it doesn't play well with my relatively new Samsung 4K TV. I'm sure others may be having the same problem. 4K makes the videos unwatchable - at least for me on my TV. No problem on the computer. You can change the video quality in the smart TV KZbin app but I think you probably have to do it every time - we'll see. Your vids have gotten my wife and I (mostly me) thru another year of Covid isolation.

[@aaalllen]

My parents still have those Corelle plates in that green and copper? color. I ended up getting plain white ones :)

[@jimweagant8920]

Great video thanks for sharing keep up your good work

That is a small Moose. As long as you do not see any grizzly track s.they should be asleep if they are up they got hungry. Lol

Nary a single griz in Maine. Only black bear east of the Mississippi.

Here is a life lesson: "If you eat a live toad first thing in the morning, nothing worse will happen all day, to you or the toad!"

[@kellyhays23]

😂😂😂😂

[@preacher1511]

A great quote by Mark Twain, "If you eat a live frog first thing in the morning, nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day."

[@ericlutz9558]

I know right? When I got thru the Whites I figgered "I got this trail by the ass." If we should ever meet, I'll show you pictures of what happened to me on The Arm.

[@davidhall8874]

"Slack Packers." I think that's I am going to start calling people in my congregation. Basically they get someone else to carry their load!

[@kellyhays23]

😂

[@danielkutcher5704]

They have someone, Jesus! I know what you're saying, though. 😕

[@preacher1511]

Kelly, I know you gave this post some love but there's just something not right about somebody saying this about somebody else who just hiked 1,900 miles and the last two miles were the Mahoosuc Notch and Arm! You slack pack all you want to!

[@danielkutcher5704]

15:41 I want to tie a line to the zipper on my pants and tell the game warden that I AM fly fishing! 😉

I just want pizza. You ok? Yeah I just twisted my ankle again

Actually Moose are way more dangerous than a grizzly. I would rather run into a grizzly. Moose have no fear what so ever.

Geez, glad I have never hiked near teenagers.
