Day 3 | I Have Too Much Food | Appalachian Trail 2024

[@andrewwiist1003]

I really appreciate the map graphic at the end of the videos. It gives a good recap of the ground you've covered.

[@melyandres_]

I agree! It’s really cool to see how much ground Molly covers in just a day!

[@jewels07]

Enjoy your videos Molly! I pick a few hikers to watch each year and you are definitely #1 in 2024.

[@spicyroads]

Trail rizz 😉

[@JackSheahan2012]

So happy to see you are doing great, Molly Rose. I echo the appreciation for the map graphic at the end of your videos. Very well done. Given the delay, I hope this find you well wherever you have made it to by now. Stay safe and strong and have a great weekend. Jack NYC

[@kmichaelp4508]

The humidity in the Appalachian mountains is probably the hardest thing for a hiker. The cold is colder and likewise the heat. Totally different from the west. And it doesn’t get any better up the trail.

[@LayneParker-mz5gq]

You’re the hiker I picked to watch this year! Wishing you all the best!

[@steveblindlost9424]

You have such a pleasant demeanor, much different from a few other NOBO's. Wish you the best, enjoy your channel. 👍

[@stanthemanhikes2965]

Beautiful time lapse sunrise. Lol we call that gap, TeNASTY Gap for the nasty steep climb out!

[@mollyroseoutdoors]

Thank you Stan! Haha that’s a good name for it!

[@Gen.1.31]

I'm late to the party but love your videos! I love the map at the end

[@jamesadams2334]

Great video! Thanks for bringing us along. BTW, you are constantly smiling, that's a good sign! HAHAHAHA

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video with a beautiful sunrise and lots of good views, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@lucindaturnis6605]

Beautiful sunrise! Very nice video. You've had a great start for your thru hike ....bless your journey ahead 🙌✨️

[@zmanky17]

Hi Molly, ok, I've subbed and look forward to watching your journey! I'm like the rest who commented about your 'relive' recap at the end....nice add to the videos! Keep on moving! You're doing great!

[@michaelglentz1858]

Love that map at the end! Happy trails 😊

[@randyboyett1366]

You’re doing good! Enjoying your videos very much. I know some others have commented on your log at the end of the videos. That’s really cool! Enjoy yourself and just know we are all pulling for you. BTW my son and daughter in law live in Portland and she did the AT several years ago. She finished her D Min and took 5&1/2 months off to do the trail.

[@lexs821]

Far Out said the same things about Lance Creek in '22 when I tried to thru. I wonder if it's just a rite of passage at this point. (I skipped it too and camped a little past it. lol)

[@karennicole3109]

Great videos! Love the graphic at the end! Your added to my list to watch! Looking so forward to your journey!!

[@brianloop3649]

Happy you are having good weather these first few days. Here's to more to come!

[@libbyduo1419]

Oh by the way that map showing where hiked at the end of the video is AWESOME! LOVE IT. DUO

[@justjonoutdoors]

Rock on, girl! You’re making this look easy..!

[@watersmithkayking8993]

Ditto, ditto, ditto. Great content editing and that map graphic is awesome. You're making way better videos than many people posting their hikes. Besides the normal, water borne culprits (Giardia, Cryptosporidium), stomach viruses frequently affect backpackers. The crowded AT shelters during thru-hiker season are the biggest source of these illnesses. Food and water handling, person to person, and surface to hand are the most common ways to get sick. It is pretty hard to get a virus from a flowing, mountain stream or spring, but your better safe than sorry approach doesn't hurt. Good luck! Have fun!

[@libbyduo1419]

WOW! loved the sunrise in the 1st part of video....brought back memories. lll be following along. DUO AT18

[@Thunder49071]

Love the recaps at the end! You’re doing great.

[@mollyroseoutdoors]

Glad you like them! Thank you so very much! 😊

[@DartmoorPaul]

Great to be able to follow your journey and see the amazing views along the AT. Thank you Molly. I particularly enjoy the parts of video with no music and can appreciate the silence and solitude out there, something that’s quite rare to find these days❤😊 Happy Hiking

[@suemoore1965]

DAY 3 🌄 KEEP WALKING TALKING GOING

[@cavemandancer]

Good idea on using aqua tabs in addition to the filter for killing virus. Thanks for sharing this.

[@bigchief7798]

I've never heard of viruses being in any running water in North America

[@cavemandancer]

​@@bigchief7798 sorry for my spelling but there is a couple forms of Giardia and Noro virus. Filters don't stop Noro virus and Chlorine tablets are the best for this.

[@JacquelineB117]

Great weather you’re having so far. Mighty fine hiking Molly!

[@LarryLeadford]

Hello Molly! 😊 Enjoying your trek! Northbound No Bust! I do hope if possible that you meet up with Mama Bear and Little Bear!! Not knowing exactly where you are in relation to them but, maybe 🤔🧐 Sweet Potato@wondeeing_withwilson may be too far ahead? Sunny and Gadget not way ahead. Rocksie@gracekaylin maybe! I know all of you Hyoh and will meet other thru hiker's! Be and Stay in Good Spirits! I'll enjoy your trek your adventure as you share it! Good day to you!

[@jhayft0703]

Have you heard anything about Rocksie(Grace)?? She hasn’t posted in 3 weeks but she commented 2 days ago that she is still on trail!

[@williamking2249]

Another sunny day. Great to see. 🌲👍

[@suehancock5573]

You are doing great Molly! 👏👏👏👏👏. Such a heavy pack and still killing those miles! 😊 Take care and stay safe & well. Hike on! 🧗‍♀️🏕️🥾😊😊🙏🌞

[@catchheronthefly4532]

We might have to rename your neroes (nearly zeroes) to something else, because 14 miles is impressive for day 3! Maybe we just call them pit stops? Like everyone else, I love the map graphic at the end. I’m already getting goosebumps thinking about how you will connect them all when you finish. In the past I’ve seen some hikers forward their resupply boxes further up the trail. Keep that in mind as an option. MFHM! ❤️

[@sheenarader6495]

Happy, safe trails! God bless and cover you as you go! 😊

[@PortiaPaleface]

I enjoy seeing the food you eat. It would be nice to see the trail magic stops too. Love the map at the end

[@darrellsheffield8283]

Great videos so far, thanks!

[@goodwaterhikes]

Congratulations you made it past the first major bail out point. I was confident you would. Love the map app you are using at the end of each video where can I find it 👍👍😎Happy trails

[@mollyroseoutdoors]

I use the Relive app to make the map. It syncs with my Garmin GPS activity to create the map.

[@goodwaterhikes]

@@mollyroseoutdoors Very cool the way it shows your miles. Happy trails ☮

[@andykeister7028]

Love the Relive. That's such a great app.

[@somerandomguy4149]

Wow what a wonderful sunries. The what virus??? I haven't herd anything about this ?? The fact that you made it to neels gap in less than 3 days with a 30lbs pack is crazy impressive!!! I have watched a lot of thru hikers on youtube every year. But you are geting it done i dont think i have seen anyone that i have followed get there as fast as you did. Keep up the good work. But i also know your in peak conditioning to. I know your and hike plus i know the west coast mountain are way higher than the appalachian mountains. So the elevation change here isnt as hard as the rocky mountains. So that probably has a lot to do with it

[@kmichaelp4508]

PCT is not as rough! Not nearly as many ups and downs.

[@somerandomguy4149]

@kmichaelp4508 yea i dont know anything about the ptc but i its has higher elevation tho

[@AlaniSugar]

Noro virus is a stomach bug (worse than the flu) that tends to spread on the AT every year early on when the trails are more crowded. It can spread in different temperatures and and sanitizer doesn't kill it. Most modern water filters don't filter it out. That's why she was using an aqua tab which does kill Noro.

[@kmichaelp4508]

@@somerandomguy4149 , yep it is. But pretty much less strenuous with the ups and downs. Pretty straight.

[@watersmithkayking8993]

Ask a Triple Crown hiker what was the hardest. While the PCT and CDT are at a higher average elevation, the daily CHANGE in elevation is far more extreme on the AT. Especially in GA and NC! Many of the trails in the Sierras and Rockies are on old cattle trails, while the AT was built as a scenic trail that went to the top of every hill for the view.

[@Rkolb2798]

Just a thought , wouldn’t the Virus have been washed down stream by now ?

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

Another great day! You are walking a lot miles each day right from the start.😮

[@celenasherrill1455]

I love the map recap at the end.

[@akbauer2525]

speak louder please! Enjoy your hike! Wish I could be there!

[@davidferguson9213]

Thank you!!

[@terryweaver9770]

I think the trail needs to be rerouted to go under that tree, lol!!

[@terryweaver9770]

I’m pretty sure I need to watch your gear videos again, lol! I’ve got questions 😉

[@mrslauri60]

Gorgeous sunrise!

[@mathfan0918]

Always wise to make sure you have plenty of water. Good thinking using the AquaTab. Did it taste bad?

[@bkbland1626]

Molly Rose!

[@michaelflynn7055]

Love your videos, good luck with the water, I saw norovirus is a thing on trail currently. I hope you avoid that issue

[@natalienaze5416]

Have you run into tripod and anchorman?

[@terryweaver9770]

Do people actually sleep in the Blood Mtn shelter?

[@danjohnson2454]

You’ll get hungry! Then you’ll anything available.

[@paulbentley7314]

how to get that map at the end? What app is that?

I just use iMovie!
