Day 4 Zero at Blood Mountain Cabins

[@TimWatsonOutdoors]

Haha! Awesome trail name story! Glad to see the zero is helping and you got some new shoes!

[@longwalking3882]

No shame in resting the hiker feet Dirty Bunny. Another great video, thank you for sharing. The early warm weather is causing some flowers to bloom early. I saw a dandelion in the yard today and thought of all you hikers. You are going to see at ton of them as well, especially in fields, yards, and along roads. They are a great source of vitamin A, vitamin K, and vitamin C and the whole plant is edible raw(leaves, flower, etc). Could be a great Free supplement to the processed foods we all normally pack. Godspeed. Looking forward to your next video.

[@HikerFeet]

Great idea! I never thought of that.

[@johnkulcsar5801]

Love the vistas and woodland videos. Nice job in lessening your load. I'm sure you'll get down even further as the miles piles up. Many of us are following and rooting for you. Thanks for sharing your experience with us 'dreamers'.... Keep on.

[@SmackNC]

Thanks for the update. Glad to see you're getting cleaned up and ready for another round of hiking. Keep up the good work.

[@KentuckyWoodsman]

Great Job! Pretty sweet cabin too! Looks like you are enjoy the hike! Thanks for sharing!

[@jeffbailey2396]

Hello Dirty Bunny....great story. Glad to see your not one of the 10% that quit at this point. Happy to see you got a trail family. Your doing a great job hiking and videoing

[@jeffbailey2396]

Forgot to tell you Hike On!

[@bhclark6128]

Dirty Bunny...lol. Looking forward to following your adventure. Hike on!

[@stanthemanhikes2965]

Congrats on the trail name and tramily! Looks like your doing well keep up the good hiking and showing us around. The blood mountain cabins look like a great place to hang!

[@NorthCountryOutdoorGuys]

Great trail name and that cabin was sweet!

[@robertschaddelee7527]

So excited to be watching your journey! I'll be thru-hiking one day.

[@brianwhidden]

I about died laughing , I love your trail name.

[@kdph7848]

good to see you are enjoying yourself. hope to see more video's soon.

[@craig.m.spielberg]

You're doing great! Take as many zeros as you need, particularly in the beginning, and especially if you find people you like hanging with, as it seems you have. I was just thinking about you yesterday, wondering how you were doing so it was a great treat this morning to find your videos up -- it's March 4, and my one year Trailiversary which made watching them all the more special. Thanks! Spielberg

[@kenk2345]

Craig M....just a shout out to say, I really enjoyed your (and Highlander58 & SamIAM) At video series last year. You guys all showed us how to accept the trail as it is and keep things going forward.

[@craig.m.spielberg]

Thanks so much for letting me know that -- I really appreciate it!

[@HikerFeet]

Thanks, Spielberg. I considered trying to contact you last night because I was having such a hard time uploading videos. I think I finally have it figured out. So far so good and I am absolutely having the time of my life.

[@craig.m.spielberg]

So glad you figured it out, but feel free anytime to reach out if you think I can help. The wifi in most hostels and hotels is so bad that it's going to be hard sometimes to do the uploads, and it gets really frustrating. Libraries usually have good wifi, and if you have a big data plan on your cell phone you might want to upload when you have a signal -- I did that most times and it usually uploads a lot quicker. Keep having a great time!!!

[@craig.m.spielberg]

Raezer Rezear Hey Raezer! Great to hear from you -- I miss your positive encouragement. Glad we're both following Dirty Bunny (Hiker Feet) and look forward to seeing your great advice and comments for her. I hope all is well!

[@tippersteffi1]

Great video thanks

[@onebackpackandavan4808]

Dirty Bunny !!! I LOVE it !!!!

[@budforler2742]

love. your. vids☺

[@HikerFeet]

Thanks so much, Bud. Your support is greatly appreciated.

[@swatsullivan]

Looks like you're doing great. Can't offer much advice, but I knew new shoes were in your future. Same thing happened to me this time last year. I got about a half size bigger, and they were perfect for me. Great video and story so far. I think you're the second female I'm following, but definitely better than the other. You're also among the top AT thru hike vloggers so far. Keep it up! Hike on!

[@HikerFeet]

Really? Thanks so much Swatsullivan. I really appreciate that! It means so much to me. I am astonished by the amount of support I have gotten. Very grateful!

[@highlander5852]

I stayed there as well. Very great place. Try some mole skin on you blisters... it snowed when I was at the gap. You're doing great!

[@HikerFeet]

Yes I need to get some. Every experienced hiker that looks at my feet says the same thing, "It doesn't look too bad", which makes me very happy.

[@jerrypardue8280]

Sometimes the zero days refreshes the soul.

[@slotortoise6166]

Glad that you got new shoes, and glad that you had a place to stay. :)

[@HikerFeet]

Thank you!!

[@robertschaddelee7527]

Love your positive attitude

[@brettgales9655]

Hi Hiker Feet, We're really enjoying watching your videos. We were just wondering which camera and model you are using. Have fun on your hike, can't wait to see more!

[@HikerFeet]

Brett Gales I've just been using my iPhone. Lol! I'll hopefully have more videos tonight. Having trouble getting good wifi

[@murica7908]

Very cool! Wanna know something very cool, I stayed in blood mountain cabins as well, and it was in cabin otter!

[@TheWeekendHiker]

Congrats on making it to Neil gap, that is a big milestone in itself. -ATB Adam 🐢

[@Survivalist2008]

Good luck!

[@lindaendris2768]

Dirty Bunny!! It couldn't' be anything else.

[@LampLighter]

Hello Hiker Feet ...er, Dirty Bunny, how much weight did you ditch out of your pack and what items?

[@HikerFeet]

I ditched a pair of pants, mace, a few other things. Can't remember. I think the big thing was overpacking food. WEight down to 32# fully loaded.

[@thatlarryguy6841]

Dirty Bunny. I like your trail name.

[@PackinPrincess]

Uncle Heather!!!

[@HikerFeet]

I heart Uncle Heather! He is THE BEST!

[@iamfirelust]

Uncle Heather rules! I hope she performs at TD!

[@HikerFeet]

I don't know what TD is, but I'm gonna find a way to see her perform someday!

[@iamfirelust]

[@larrygldn9245]

You may have already tried this for blisters between toes. I have had that problem too. I like Injinji Performance Mini-Crew Toe Socks, they isolate each toe and prevent the rubbing. They also have thick style and liners. With as much weight as your pack was carring you need to protect feet and knees. Your doing great, keep it positive. lrg

[@gregstritch9736]

Congratulations DB on that first section. What a way to start the AT! Videos look great. What app are you using to edit and upload? Thanks for taking us along. Rooting for you. Greg and Mary
