Favorite foods… relaxation, family. It’s all good. Gail. ❤

[@suehancock5573]

Hello MB, LB, and Elli! 🐻🐻😺. You both look so restful and happy! Thanks for sharing Far Out with us! It was so cool of you to do this 😎. Enjoy your night and let’s get going again. Hike On 🧗‍♀️🏕️🥾🐻🐻😺❤️

[@mhelen7360]

Enjoyed the Far Out app tutorial. I will never have occasion to use it myself, but was fascinated to see what its capability is. Glad you had both a productive and restful zero, and got to eat more Japanese food. Love hearing about your sweet family, and seeing Florida Elle of course! Praying for the new shoes, MB, and for y'all's protection and joy in the journey as you head toward Katahdin ♥️.

[@wildflowersadventures]

Thank you 🙏🏼 💙

[@Mwilke3789]

I love the explanation of far out. Hikers often talk about a lot of the common things on trail but you actually show and/or explain them! #homeschoolmom ❤️

[@wildflowersadventures]

Thanks! 😊

Thank you for sharing how Far Out looks and works. I don't think any other channel that I've watched over the past 3 years have done that.

[@CL-fr9yx]

Thank you for the tutorial. Thank you General for befriending the ladies. Again you are doing great ladies.

[@wildflowersadventures]

Thank you! The General is a good friend and we’re grateful. ☺️

Thank you so much for the tutorial of the far out app! It was awesome! More sushi! Yummm😁

[@wildflowersadventures]

My pleasure! 😊

[@zenkathikes]

That was the BEST tutorial on FarOut! I only have it to Standing Bear so far, bc i hike in GA and NC. I need to also download the Bartram & Foothills Trails. You two are killing it. I never had any doubt. Enjoy the zero...I'm sure you are many days out by now. Happy hiking!🐻🐻s

[@michaellocke2766]

"THE GENERAL" NICE PLACE TO GET SOME REST. AND THE FOOD PLACES LOOK AMAZING. THANK YOU FOR SHARING HELPFUL THINGS TO DO WITH THE TRAIL. APP ( FAR OUT). BE SAFE AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING. POSTIVE THINGS THAT ARE SAID AND DONE ARE SPREADS OF THE TRAIL.😊

[@jamesbonner5989]

Great information on the Far Out app. I pass on the sushi, lol

[@jimhenderson387]

Thanks for the great info on Far Out! I always wondered how it worked and always wondered how people knew so precisely how far they had hiked, how far they had climbed, etc., and now I know. Back in the 60s and 70s we used to say far out for something that was great or awesome and that app truly is far out! Sorry, I had to say it.

[@wildflowersadventures]

You’re welcome! It’s such a useful tool.

[@amynapier3551]

Thanks for showing Far Out. It is very helpful.

[@wildflowersadventures]

Glad it was helpful! It’s a great tool.

[@johnalden5821]

Super helpful tour through Far Out! I have heard a lot about the app for years, and now I feel like I could actually use it to my advantage.

[@wildflowersadventures]

It’s a great app! I can’t recommend it enough. 😊

[@tgrant74]

Glad y’all had a restful day!! Looking forward to the live segment!!

[@tresannrn8454]

Thank you so much for the app info. I had never seen that. I’m an old hiker.. lol.. that would have been so nice!! Glad you and everyone out there has the option for it!✌️🙂❤️

[@wildflowersadventures]

You’re welcome! It’s a very helpful tool!

[@NHhikewithheather]

Great tutorial about FarOut.I have it but have not used it much. Hopefully I will be able to get out there more where I can use the app.

[@lisamonalisahikes]

Thank you for sharing the Far Out App

[@suzannelegeza1292]

What a wonderful way to wake up this morning and get an amazing tutorial on the Far Out app! 😀 That just made my day! I was wondering where your elevation graphs came from and how you knew specific distances to next stops, where the trail was, water sources, etc. So cool!! Thank you! 🥰🥰

[@juliejohnson5629]

Im enjoying watching your journey! It was cool to see in more detail how the Far out app works. Happy trails!

[@SayWhuuut]

Topo is now all I wear, and I switched from Hoka. I hope you love them as much as I do! Good luck!

[@musingwithreba9667]

Aw, see you later The General! Good luck out on the PCT 😊 Great town day, you got a lot done. I hope the Topos work out for you MB! 🤞

[@MariaSimpson-rp1os]

Topos are my first purchase for my journey next year. I bought the hightops to start in hopes that they would provide some stability for my ankles until I'm trail trained 😅

[@DJMoore-001]

This was a awesome video, I use On X maps all the time. All I have ever seen about Far Out has been the elevation gain/decent. This was interesting to see all the features it does give. Thank You.

[@RickINFJ]

I was a paper map and compass hiker before cell phones. The comment section of the app seems invaluable to me. 👍 I'm assuming the most recent comments have to update depending on reception? Enjoy the zero ladies and eat well! 🤞 for the shoes MB. If LB keeps it up, we're gonna have to start calling her Sushi Bear. 😂 Take care bears, and I wish you the best General! ✌️

[@LookUp1991]

Hello from the Kerry Way in Ireland! We are 40 miles in and loving every moment. Thanks for the Far Out info. Always wondered how it works. You’re right about cherishing the people and moments in your life. No one is promised tomorrow. Enjoy every moment! ☘️❤️

[@jameswhitman8710]

Your “today’s character builder” is likely a character builder for life! Great lesson!

[@xrrtracks]

Awesome information on the AT cell phone map

[@charlesquick3656]

I really like the Topo's over the Hokas... I hope they work out for you too.

[@wildflowersadventures]

I like them, but prefer the Hoka’s. 😊

[@Muggleborn_Adventures]

I know its a little extra weight but... Fingernail polish remover wipes ( They come in Single Packets) Work perfectly for removing tree sap.

[@jayray720]

🚶‍♀️🐻👟👟🚶‍♂️🐻🐈👟👟⛺🌞 that was really interesting about the far out app you both look well-rested we're going to miss seeing the general on your videos love and light to you all stay safe and happy hiking and goodnight Ellie 🐈😺

[@dannythecamper4186]

Very good video, nice thing the far out app, some good foods, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@toddmsbeo]

The Hoka’s have been your goat-to-shoe? Couldn’t resist.

[@RickINFJ]

😂

[@wildflowersadventures]

😂😂😂

[@BrooksMcLamb]

Thanks so much for the “Far Out” tutorial-what a fantastic Ap for the trail!! Looks like your time was well spent on this day! Really look forward to your daily videos. Hope those shoes work out well going forward. Blessings to you both.

[@myleahluffman829]

Thank you for letting us see how Far Out works! I have always wondered! I am glad y’all had a great 0 day, got your sushi again, and talked a lot with family!

[@Tluge]

Hope they work for you. I used Hoka’s for years. Helped me back from a major foot injury. But switched to Topos a year ago. I love them. Best shoe that ever happened to me.

[@dpresnell1]

Another awesome video. Great Review of Far Out. You both are now certainly experts on the gear and food you have been using. You can do a review of them new shoes too. I learned many years ago that shoe inserts and/or rock plates can completely change the comfort, purpose, and support of the shoe. After Katahdin, your reviews, recommendations, and teaching videos on everything will be highly desired. People love reviews. May God continue to keep and bless you both!

[@whitneybignell5209]

Thank you so much for the Far Out app tutorial - I have had the app for awhile (haven’t hiked with it, yet :-(), but couldn’t quite figure out how to use it! I love following your journey - you’re doing an amazing job sharing your experience. Wishing you the best as you continue northward! 🎉🎉🎉

[@wildflowersadventures]

Thank you! It’s such a helpful tool!

[@impulsivewanderer]

I need to figure out how to turn on the Gps option bc I always end up pulling out Alltrails and Far-out on my overnight trips lmfao, I'm sure its very simple to figure out I just haven't played with it as much yet.

[@wildflowersadventures]

When you click the map icon (top right, first option in the column), the map with red line will pop up. On the bottom right corner, you’ll see GPS grayed out. It’s a gray box. Click it and it’ll turn red. You’ll then see yourself on the red line or wherever you are on the trail in the form of an arrow. 😊 In the list version (third icon with 3 lines), you’ll also see yourself listed as your username.

[@luisahirsch5654]

Wow! Thanks for the Far Out Turorial. I was always curious about it. Aww..sad to see the General go, I know he meant a lot to you guys. Was his plan always just to section hike the AT and then section hike the PCT? Best wishes to the General in all his future endeavors! Praying the new shoes work well for you! 🙏 I know it is hard when you are used to something that works! Yay! A live would be fun! I hope to be able to make it! Love watching your videos! God bless you both on your journey!

[@wildflowersadventures]

You’re welcome! It’s a great tool for hiking! Yes, the General’s plan was just to do section hikes on the AT and then on the PCT. We are so glad to have met him. 😊

[@sheenarader6495]

Far out is "far out!" Seems like a very helpful resource for planning your hikes and stopping places! ❤😊

[@joankline343]

Good morning to you both! Thanks for sharing about the app. That definitely would be a great help and blessing. Your cellphone is so clear and beautiful. No wonder you have excellent videos. I've never had Japanese food before, ill have to give that one a try. Enjoy your rest day! 😄🙏😎💖

[@deborahpratt8311]

Thanks for showing the Far Out App and how it works … Hope your new shoes work out

Looks like it was a great zero day! Loved the Far Out Tutorial! I wish there were more Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 Maps in the Far Out App though. I hope the new shoes are working well for you! Keep smiling ❤

❤❤❤❤ I can't wait to see the live

[@neliareal830]

Thanks for the info about Farout! I used the regular AWOL book and Gaia gps, but it sounds awesome! I will definitely try on my next hike ❤

[@galejones5870]

Oh if i saw right the name of the sushi place is Ichiban. There is one up here near where i live, so delicious! Far out is cool. Thank you for sharing. I am following a friend of my daughter’s on there. He is in Northern Va now.

[@grantjordan4672]

Another great video ! If I may ask , can you please take more video of the outfitters / gear stores ? And the town that your in ? I find it fascinating and love to see different places , and I'm a gear junkie !! LOL 😀 😆 THANK YOU 😊 G.

[@Stormy-14-]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@HikeMichigan]

Thank you so much for the FarOut overview! I’ve been so curious about that. Does it automatically update when you have a signal or do you have to refresh every so often? Psalm 3:3 “But You, oh Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.” Provider! 🙌🙏💪🥾

[@wildflowersadventures]

You’re welcome. It’s meant to be run in airplane mode….not sure of the realtime refresh rate.

[@judithpearson3968]

Thanks for sharing your zero with us, but please, if you feel like you need to take a day off from filming, I fully understand. Was glad to hear you say you didn't even think of it til lunchtime. It is hard to say goodbye. My best friend lives in TX, I'm in MO. It is so hard to say bye, especially at my age. Thanks for showing us the FarOut app. I kinda knew how it worked, but had never really see it. Glad to see LB got her fill of sushi today. I laughed so hard when she said she hadn't been that hungry after telling us she ate 3 plates. That girl can eat. Looking forward to getting back on trail with you tomorrow. Take care of each other. Stay safe. See you in the morning.

[@wandagore2740]

I love my topos. Hope you love them too!

[@melaniecarlisle4771]

Great tutorial on Far out app.. Thanks! Does LB play any musical instruments? Her fingers are so long (perfect for piano or guitar) I'm glad that you both enjoyed your nero/zero in Daleville. That sushi looked yummy! I hope the General feels better soon.. he's been a great part of your tramily! 🥰

Glad you get that down time

[@gregharmon3797]

Appreciate the tutorial

[@TheGrandmateresa]

Very interested to learn about FarOut, thanks for the demo. It appears almost everyone hiking the PCT or AT are using this app.

[@MariaSimpson-rp1os]

Thank you so much for the Farout demo! How soon before your journey did you purchase? I'm hoping to start early 2025.

[@wildflowersadventures]

I purchased it several years before we started the AT. There are many trails on FarOut, so my very first time using it was on our thru hike of the Foothills Trail.

[@MariaSimpson-rp1os]

Do you also utilize All Trails or just specifically the Farout? Wasn't sure if purchasing both was the way to go. I'm also researching compass use. Most say it's not used on the AT but I'm a little leary of going without and depending totally on technology.

[@kelly_hunsaker_reads]

Loved seeing how the app works. Thanks! How do you use it if you have no service?

[@wildflowersadventures]

You’re welcome! It’s designed to be in airplane mode. 😊

🙏🏻👟 Mama Bear ❤

[@denniscall2454]

Thanks for the info about Farout. Nice to know. Also your vids have the best picture and color I've seen in all other vids I've watched. Excellent zoom also. Sorry to ask I'm sure you mentioned it before, what are you using?❤

[@wildflowersadventures]

You’re welcome. I’m using my phone: iPhone 15 Pro Max.

[@johnhartigan3985]

Lewis and Clark would have loved to have your app 😂

[@elevatelife-nk7896]

I really appreciated the far out tutorial! Question- if you purchase maps, are they always available to you, or are they tied go an annual membership? Just wonder if I’ll need to buy them over and over if I need to keep a membership live. Thanks!

[@wildflowersadventures]

Once you buy them, they are yours. No continued subscription needed.

[@nadinegrubbs424]

I love the far out app.. I use it all the time. I’ve been following you since you started. Thank you for the videos. I’ve enjoyed your adventure. I’m really interested how you like your new shoes. I wear Hoka s most the time . Please share what you think.

[@wildflowersadventures]

Thanks! We’re happy you’re here! The Topos work, but I prefer the Speedgoats. They are more comfortable/have better cushion.

[@shellynoble4298]

Great for you to show far out it first time I seen anyone explain it. When I first start watch video I Google it to read about it.

[@PaulNehring-of3xf]

Hi Mamma Bear the Far out app info was great to know. I have a question I have seen others talk about compactor bags for pack liners to keep your bedding and clothes from getting wet do you use something like that besides your water proof pack cover? Thanks Keep Trekking

[@lorikelly3544]

Thank you for going over this App. I’ve really enjoyed watching your journey. I was wondering as I know very little about Apps like this, can you use the App with the GPS if you have no cell signal?

[@wildflowersadventures]

Yes, it was designed to work in airplane mode. No signal needed. 😊

[@rwp722]

The FarOut App is a wonderful tool. Is it good forever once it is purchased, or only for one year?

[@wildflowersadventures]

It really is!! Worth every penny! It makes walking any trail so much easier. And once purchased, it’s good for a lifetime, including any updates/modifications FarOut makes.

[@MRBenchwork]

Can you reverse the direction in far out for SOBO's?

[@Tluge]

Yes you can. In the lower right corner, tap more, settings, scroll to trail direction. Toggle to southbound.

[@Pamela_Army_Chick]

Hi bears! I have a question regarding shoes. I believe MB you are on your third pair of shoes, and LB on her second. I would think ...maybe I am wrong, but you guys are walking the same path so I am would think that you both would get shoes at the same time. Then again, I am guessing it depends on how you guys are walking that determines the wear? I am a walker no hiking and I trade out my shoes quite a bit. I wear Brooks, and I am thinking about getting Hoka shoes. Any suggestions? Also, another question and I may have missed - Does your family have a tracking app to see where you guys are at all times? Happy trails and do it with a wiggle. Love and light to you both.

[@wildflowersadventures]

The way people walk affects the wear and tear on the shoe. Also, I’m guessing overall weight on the shoe has a lot to do with it as well. We both love the Speedgoats and recommend them, but as you know, shoes are a very personal choice. We still have Life360 on, but our family isn’t tracking us. I don’t use the Garmin tracking feature either.

[@Pamela_Army_Chick]

@@wildflowersadventures Thanks MB!

[@todd4480]

Thanks for the Far Out demo. I plan to be using it March 1st of next year.

For the love of anything good, don't support that app and the scammers behind it. Please!

[@wildflowersadventures]

Happy trails to you! You’ll love the app. It’s so helpful and pretty much everyone on trail uses it.

[@todd4480]

@@marty5182 it seems to be good information. Is there an article I should read? Or a news report somewhere? Who are the scammers and what do they get, other than the subscription fee?

[@WalkingWombat27]

Thx for tutorial… curious how much it costs in total. Does each section price vary?

[@jhayft0703]

Hey 👋, I just watched another channel, and she just got into the Shenandoahs and she said that it cost her $15 for the backcountry pass which is required this year and than a park entrance pass that also cost $15 so about $39 per person, but you both probably already knew that! But just thought I’d share in case you didn’t!! I know you’re both well prepared tho!!

[@russellely1021]

is FAR OUT only for hiking trails? i wonder if it would work bikepacking/bike touring

[@wildflowersadventures]

I’m not sure. That would be cool if they had bike routes, too!

[@russellely1021]

@@wildflowersadventures i spoke too soon, i should of done my research first, there are many apps for biking and hiking routes off the beaten paths. you gals are doing a great job. keep on treking

[@buddino1]

What is the Generals story. How is he always ahead of you and seems to have transportation. Is he slowly driving the trail? He’s definitely not hiking it. It’s just strange how he always seems to be hanging out up ahead all the time.

[@wildflowersadventures]

He is section hiking the AT and then will head to the PCT. He hikes for a bit, then gets rides to catch up to us and other tramily members.

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

In your last video you did mention that zero days are so expensive because of the food. But I can see why if you go to restaurants that often 😂 Isn't it more affordable to get the meals from the grocery store?

[@amynapier3551]

Meals in town can be really helpful to make up for calories lost on the trail. Many hikers use this method so that they don't lose so much weight.

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

@@amynapier3551 I know but if you think it gets to expensive it might not be necessary for 3 times a day.

[@wildflowersadventures]

Food in general is expensive. Resupply from grocery stores, hostels, gas stations, etc is expensive. Town food at restaurants is also expensive. When in town, whether for a nero or a zero, or just passing through, you have to eat as much as you can to balance weight loss on trail. And, most of the time, you won’t have the ability to cook, so it’s difficult to buy groceries for your meals while in town. Even if you have the opportunity to cook, it’s hard to buy just enough without wasting leftovers. But, choosing cheaper restaurants would be a way to save money. It’s just hard to pass up opportunities for food you’re craving and your body is already so worn down.

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

[@TheGrandmateresa]

@@wildflowersadventures Welll said any who wants to spend their zero day cooking and cleaning up!!

[@williamgoethe7298]

Not trying to be a negative Nelly here but what would you guys do if your phone died or something happened to it. Do you guys have a physical map and compass for back up

[@wildflowersadventures]

There’s so many people on trail that you could just ask someone if you needed info. 😂 And it would be very difficult to get lost. The trail is very easy to follow.
