[@jamesadams2334]

I just wanted to say, that you are important. You and Little Bear matter. You are not just a tiny speck in the Universe. You are loved. You are important to this world. YOU and LITTLE BEAR contribute greatly to my life. I am a 71-year-old retired man, and past 2x thru hiker that depends every day on your videos for part of my daily entertainment. I can no longer hike due to Lyme Disease and YOU and LITTLE BEAR get me back out on that trail every day! Thank you for the work that it takes to make these videos and thank you for bringing me along! You two are affecting far more people than you'll ever realize! THANK YOU! Keep on keep'in on. geek

[@Lightning77AThiker]

The cake is always a bonus at Weary Feet 😃 I got up at 1am to go downstairs to get another slice.

[@ShaleneMorse]

What a wonderful message that I needed to hear❤. You tell Lil Bear….no pain, NO MAINE😊.

[@suehinze1566]

Thank you for spreading that message on. I think we all need to hear that to remember to think that❤ Beautiful forest that day. All the little animals were so cute. Ive never seen a tortoise or turtle like that, very interesting. Mama deer and Little deer, meet Mama bear and Little bear❤ Very cool hostel and happy reunion. Enjoy Bears! Your doing awesome ❤ ✌️🫶

[@suemoore1965]

I think this adventure has changed you both in so many ways. I shall miss you when your adventure ends 😢😢

[@suehancock5573]

Thank you MB for those beautiful words of encouragement! You are so special and God put you on this journey to help us all see the beauty of his creation! 🕯️❤️🙏. Love the safari tent and all the great food you both enjoyed at the hostel! Rest up & may God Bless you both and keep you safe. Goodnight. 💤😴🥱 🐻🐻

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

LB is quite the comedian. She has given me a few good laughs. Making fun of you eating once. And this video with the impossible water crossing in the road. Ha

[@Jack-uy6tc]

Thanks for sharing the Holy Spirits nudging

[@GailR.Anderson]

Earplugs? You guys need your sleep, your muscles and brain need solid sleep. So glad you got a good night. You two are amazing! Thank you for the reminder that everyone, matters. It is so easy to allow others to take up all the space, to allow the sounds of life to drown out our own. I think you guys have eagle eyes, millipedes, snails, rabbits, deer, squirrels, snakes, toads, birds nests on the ground and in bushes, a mouse, fish, and a turtle?! Wow! 🙃 GiF

[@harolddenton6031]

Awesome message momma bear. I was doing trail magic this past Monday at the Mr rogers/comers corner trail head. I meet a cool young guy ftom southern michigan who goes by the trail name of sass/sassy. He opened up to me about his battle with depression and how he almost took his own life, I told him to send me a Facebook friend request as I would be available for him to discuss anything that iscweigjing heavy on his mind. I testified to him about my battle dealing with alcoholism from age of 17 through age of 40. Told him to never give up on life as it will not always be a easy road to travel but i told dass tha our daily struggles help us to become better human beings. I am really enjoying providing trail magic and getting to meet thru hikers. Love finding out where folks are from and why they decided to hike the whole AT.

[@suzannelegeza1292]

It was so soothing to hear those crickets when you were in your hostel tent cabin! The crickets are not chirping yet where I live in northern Ohio, so I really enjoyed that ❤

[@pacman8226]

I love your 3:30 inspirations. I think it should be a regular part of each video. Your closeness with God blesses us all.

[@kristietaylor7954]

I needed to hear that message, Mama Bear ❤ Thank you ❤

[@susanrector6106]

O my goodness! Ok so I'm a subscriber I have never commented before. And right now it's Saturday night June 1. I'm a couple days behind on your vlogs. But the message that you spoke was right on time for me. I had just been talking to God few days ago, about I don't think I matter to this world, nobody sees me... but anyways, thank you so much for this word. And thank you for including us on your journey. God bless!

[@wildflowersadventures]

I’m so glad this message reached you. You do matter! So much!! Please believe that. We wish you love, happiness, and peace. 🙏🏼💙

[@beckyraver7959]

I'm positive there is so much more than just one person that needed to hear that! ❤thank you so much for listening to our Heavenly Father! It's so refreshing to see this on a public platform!

[@joankline343]

Good morning to you both! I don't always comment but I want you to know that I greatly appreciate all the efforts that you both give to producing great videos every day. You always have excellent content and great views. Thanks for sharing the people and places that you see along the way. Lots of fun places to stay and excellent food choices. Also it was good to hear your thoughts for the day and words of encouragement. There is so many stressed and hurting people in the world nowadays and I bet there's lots of people who needed to hear that. Happy Trails! Be careful, stay safe and enjoy your Hike 🚶 🏕 🍳 🔥 😊 🙏

[@DennisConnor-g1h]

Have followed you from the beginning and love to watch every morning with my coffee. Your inspiration and openness to nature is so fulfilling! I hiked part of the AT years ago and you inspire so many. You two are a walking scenic calendar!😊

[@lyndajefferson5929]

I've seen many hikers stay their and one of them was Chasing Blazes. She stayed in a tent also. The prayer circle is really a great idea. Glad that you two are getting some much needed home cooked meals and rest. God bless you Both 😊😊

[@stanthemanhikes2965]

You two are so blessed to have nabbed the safari tent. Was already taken when we went thru there. Woods Hole is definitely in my top 3 of hostels. Neville does such a good job with the food and overall atmosphere. Little Bear you’re correct you only understand about some of these things if you’re a thru hiker. Hike on guys and make Dismal Falls a future stop to enjoy with family 😊

[@mountainjackietr511]

Great messages MB!! Thank you! Keep the faith!

[@dianamazzullo9065]

One of my highlights of your hike today was all the animals, especially the bird bathing, so cute. 🥰 OMGosh, you guys got me doing highlights and character builders. I absolutely have to get on this trail, maybe 2025 ❤

[@jujudavis65]

God placed on your heart to share that beautiful message and you’re right that it may have been for just one person that needs to hear that ❤ and because of that he gave you and little bear precious moments on the trail today! Enjoy your Hostel stays they look like amazing places to rest😊

[@Pamela_Army_Chick]

Hi little bear your highlight should be the fact you were able to make it over the puddle of water. lol You always crack me up with the things you say. You and mama bear rock!

[@SheGoneAgain]

That turtles legs are wild with those orange scales! (Here is like #2)

[@deborahshaw6821]

My daughter heard a similar mesage at her public high school convocation today. Nice to hear it twice. Great message for students.

[@BrooksMcLamb]

Thank you so much for all you are doing to make this world a better place through sharing your journey. So happy to be able to spend time with you both each day, seeing all the beauty along the way, all the critters, all the people, and all the places along the way.

Yes hostel it as much as you can ladies......you are able to get far better nutrition, rest and rejuvenation to help you accomplish your ultimate goal. ❤

[@crystalsamuels4589]

Thank You, I Really Needed To Hear This, Thank You Again ❤

You are so welcome 🙏🏼 💙

[@bethfrank1981]

Thanks for the message. Just popped on before work. Just what I needed 🙏🏼💓. Safe travels 🥾🥾. ( Beth)

[@rogercurrier2444]

I have always found the magic of a waterfall. It can be a fall that Cascades down the side of a hill or mountain. That you can hear from a distance and feel it it's power. Or a simple sox or twelve inch waterfall mod steam. All seem to cleanse you soul. Everyone holds it's own magic.

[@wildflowersadventures]

So beautiful!

[@turragorman59]

Keeping the faith and hearing the message. God bless you both.

[@wildflowersadventures]

Thank you! God bless! 🙏🏼

[@dannythecamper4186]

Nice video with some nice views, and some deers, so let's keep on hiking 😊

Great day for wildlife and beauty on the trail. Increased miles raise the likelihood of completing the adventure.

[@christinakichula2649]

[@wildflowersadventures]

[@saddlepants]

Thank you for the message. It was needed. I'm enjoying watching little bear mature so much on this journey. Shes gonna need a new trail name by the end 😂. If I repeat myself I apologize. Im just here working the 9-5 wishin I was chasing (or outrunning) you guys instead.

[@gregharmon3797]

That safari tent was really nice!! You guys are having such a good time

[@lobstahgirl]

In spirit and in truth. Your beautiful words are truth. Rest in peace, Grayson Murray.

[@sheenarader6495]

Thank you MB and LB for your encouraging words and prayers! 🙏 I also pray for your safety and enjoyment on your AT journey, and for God's purposes to be fulfilled "as you go!" 🙏 Stay safe and aware of your surroundings! 🙏 This thru-hike and all your memories walking together will always be a blessing to you and others who watch!😊 ❤

[@jhayft0703]

Thanks Mama Bear, I needed that message!!! 😊😊😊😊

[@jameswhitman8710]

We are all a piece of the puzzle we call the human experience. Each left has a right; each top has a bottom and it’s not how you act when on top of the mountain, but how you respond when in the valleys; and most important; it’s the part we all play in this world we call life. Enjoy, live, love, be.

[@tanyajackson6649]

Thank you for the beautiful message…I needed that today 💜

[@tgrant74]

No better way to have my breakfast than watch this!!

[@wildflowersadventures]

Thank you! We’re so glad you’re here. 😊

[@judithpearson3968]

Today's video was awesome. MB, loved your message. I think we all need to hear that from time to time. The streams and waterfalls were welcome sights. The trail and forests were beautiful. The safari tent was really cool. LB, absolutely loved the pic of Elle. To see the whole cat is nice, but a full on pic of cat faces are better. Shows personality. Ya'll take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.

[@a.ramosakadrumgrl6677]

That was me this morning, waking up before the sunrise! I fell asleep and crashed at an unknown time. Woke up refreshed and finally got up at 6am.

[@dawnseely1013]

All of the water shots , so clear and rejuvenating, just to stop, enjoy watching the fish, imagining and drinking it in! Loving the wild flowers too! haha - "wild flowers". I wonder if that family you met with the 12-year old are vlogging as well. Sweet birdie bath... those BEAUTIFUL ferns!!! lb's puddle crossing 😳😂. Safari tent!🎉 WONDERFUL!!! Fresh organic garden-to-table meal... So much blessing this day! 🌱☀️🌸 AMEN!

[@asbwkr6]

Beautiful message! Thank you all so much. I live in MA, so when you get to CT give me a shout out if you need/want anything.

[@johndery9614]

Thank you for the message. You made my evening. ❤

[@adventuresofpineappleshort4600]

Bears! What an amazing day!

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Enjoyed hearing your thoughts and insights .. Amazed at Little Bears keen eye for the small creatures of the woods and creeks .. Definitely a beautiful day on trail ....

[@elizabethcole5582]

Another stellar mileage day!!!! Whooop! Whooop!! And you sure are seeing your share of critters today! How awesome!!!

[@robertrose1774]

You guys are awesome. 66 days and still smiling ❤❤

[@DJMoore-001]

I know what you mean by your body absorbs the nutrients when you eat something your body really needs. As you are eating you can feel the energy refueling you and your attitude and energy just come back to where you should be. You both are doing awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@tdivolks]

other ideas for safety Maine river crossings, inflatable inter tubes with ropes attached each sides. We should have thought of this years ago, or a big guy carrying Little Bear across on his shoulders ?

[@kymountaingal3672]

Thank you I needed to hear this message. God bless you both! ❤❤

[@LookUp1991]

Amen dear YT friend! We cannot imagine the depth of the amazing love of God through His Son Jesus. As Michael Card said so well, He cannot love more and will not love less. And He feels like that about EVERY SINGLE PERSON. No matter what you’ve done Jesus is waiting with open arms. ❤❤❤

[@WalkingWombat27]

I love how many highlights you had today!! What joy!

[@CindyAltwies1]

Another great hiking day. Rest up then onward north!❤❤ Keep those positive vibes coming..😊

[@suemoore1965]

👣💕 THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSPIRATIONAL WORDS

[@musingwithreba9667]

Wow, you made so many woodland friends today. It's like you're Disney princesses or somethin' 😂 Thanks for the pep talk, I needed the nudge to do something and you helped me decide to just go ahead and do it. That hostel and the safari tent look so comfy and cozy and inviting! There is nothing better for your body than food fresh from the garden, prepared with love.

[@JohnBishard]

I hope the wife and I can get you some trail magic in central Pa. You two are doing great and looks like you are having fun 😊😊

[@richardharries3164]

Great day. Lovely video. Love and hugs to you both. ❤❤

[@chrisnorris76]

How in the world did you spot that little mouse?!!!❤❤❤. So cute. And honestly you just didn’t want to😂😂😂 .6 matters when you get that many miles in!

[@christiinohio681]

In a nutshell, what you are doing is hiking your own hike👏👏 I am following 3 through hikers this season and each of them are different from the others. i'm following a male solo hiker, a female hiker that is forming tramilys, and you two. All are different ages as well, so it is very fun to see how each is hiking their own hike with what works best for them. That's what makes it fun.

[@sherrymoore5740]

Thanks...I needed that!

[@donaldtotten5102]

You both matter as well! Try to check out Dismal Falls with the family when you can. Camp sites on both sides of the falls. Easily accessed by a road on the other side of falls. Love and Light to you both. Journey on! 🌻✌️❤️🦆donnie duck
