"Hangin' on like a hair in a biscuit" 😆

[@cinadel5546]

That got me too.

[@Kurt817080]

Yep that's a good one!

[@mirandaisgross]

As soon as she said that I immediately scrolled down to the comments lol Hair in a biscuit is such an unpleasant thought

[@davidwesthoff7746]

Love it.

[@tinamarie2121]

Miranda SAME!! ROFL

[@ldennshark8]

Seriously blown away by the quality of these PCT videos! 'Git' your dream, girl! One step at a time 💙

[@SandCrabNews]

Yes the imagery is AMAZING!

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

ldennshark8 Thank you!

[@cwd1232]

Homemade Wanderlust how big is your cook pot and do u find It big enough to cook meals in the pot? Not interested in freezer bag so curious what size u have and what u recommend?

[@JayWandersOut]

I know people have said it before but I'll say it as well your videos are incredibly well filmed and compiled! It's like on each one we're getting a little story with a nice little ending to each one. I'm amazed you've been able to keep it up so long already! That time lapse sunset was probably one of best I've seen yet too and it ended the video perfectly. Great job.

[@mbain84]

I wonder if you even know just how many people you've inspired, myself included. I haven't been the same (in a good way) since watching your a.t. videos. Thanks for doing what you do Dixie, hope you had a fabulous 31st birthday!

[@kyleterry4818]

Happy Birthday Dixie!!! You guys are doing a FANTASTIC job with these videos. I would like to add to your list of people that you have inspired, I am doing a 7 day hike starting the 17th of this month, doing the Ozark Highlands Trail, OHT, solo. I have planned for over a year because last Dec. my neck gave out and I had to have two disk removed and 3 vertebra fused, I trained and planned and now it is just around the corner. I was getting older and have now turned fifty, I wanted to live my life instead of working it away. Anyway, I was looking in KZbin one night and found your video and I though, "this girl is smart and got her stuff together." So I watched and watched, now I'm here. You are a amazing person and I am very grateful to be allowed these little glimpses into your journey. God Bless! Take care and keep filming.

[@m00nsplitter72]

You're a gem. PS. The editing work is as close to perfect as it can be.

[@lecastleman]

Happy Birthday!!

[@Ureyeuh]

You, and the guys from The Dusty Camel, are the two best thru hike channels on youtube. Their PCT thru hike video is one of the best ever.

[@shootermcmillan]

Happy Birthday Dixie.....for every one that comments , there are many more who just watch ....and are inspired. It's cool that you got to meet someone who encouraged by you sharing your experience with all who care to see.

[@missmystery22]

I am a 28 year old mum of two. I sit here nightly feeding my newborn and your videos are my new addiction. I feel like you have given me a bucket list goal beyond the boringness of mortgage, job and kids....I am going to thru hike the AT!!! I have just mentally added it to my bucket list. Your attitude to life is bang on...sometimes its all to predictable and we settle into the pattern that the majority follow.

[@ayanoamoura4140]

happy birthday dixie! you're my hero! I wanna be just like you when I grow up. (whenever that happens).

[@wesleykremer3916]

Thanks for the pics and for allowing us to share your adventure. We are praying for your safety as you are a blessing to us. Keep living your DREAMS!!!

[@iman-pv2sc]

[@JimmyCricket61258]

Happy Birthday Miss Dixie

[@Daniel_Callie]

You are so precious Dixie, so love you.

[@RandomButtonPusher]

Of all the long-distance hiking videos I've watched, I think this episode is the best encapsulation I've seen by anyone of the experience. Nicely done and happy birthday.

[@ablueizzpulley]

Hey girl, you teach those people from the west coast how to talk right! Can't bet the southern lingo. You are doing great...I have been watching you since the beginning of your AT hike and you have not let all this go to your head and have remained the same humble Dixie. I love that and thanks for sharing.

[@jenngriffiths2914]

Much love for the editor the quality of these videos keeps getting better and better xxx

[@kristyperry988]

Happy Birthday Dixie!

[@jeffbailey2396]

Not to sound to corny, but after watching all your vlogs, The AT, Crossing the line and The PCT . You make me want to be a better person, a person who should enjoy everything no matter how small it may be. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!🍻

[@garycloud9631]

Way to go Dixie on making it 100 miles. Glad to hear that your knees aren't hurting as bad. Keep up the great work.

[@mikelong3493]

Happy birthday Dixie. Really appreciate you sharing your hike with us.

[@FredArd1954]

Happy birthday, Dixie, and of course, "War Eagle". Celebrate the blessing of another year and enjoy your special day. Blessings from one of your fans in AL.

[@ameliaa.3354]

This is awesome! Congratulations on 100 miles!

[@Katharine848]

Happy Birthday Young Lady, you are living the life!!

[@EddieJoe55]

Dixie, you are one very exceptional young lady! You take so many of we your video watchers with you to locations they we may never be permitted or capable of traversing our entire lives. As a 61 y/o male I want to extend to you a very heart-felt thank you for all the hard work that you put in to each video to afford we your fans the opportunity to go with you on these paths-of-dreams!!! Thank you princess-girl!! Excellent work!

[@mpoisot]

Great macro shots! That lens is impressive. I'm amazed how much battery you go through, but I'm glad since it's for our benefit.

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

Marcel Poisot Thank you! There's a whole new world under the main props that nobody ever notices. I love it!

[@gibrigg]

So encouraging. Compliments to your editor, music, and production person... Outstanding!

Kudos to whomever edits these videos. It is absolutely beautiful scenery and very well done. It really captures a great mood and hits all the right buttons. Amazingly well done.

[@danoutdoors9411]

happy birthday. Dixie.

[@shawnbaker3232]

Happy birthday. You are taking your editing and filming to a whole other level.

[@Ureyeuh]

It's been incredible watching this channel grow from advice, to the AT thru hike updates, to this. The level of entertainment and editing has gone up, but the intimacy and connection to your videos hasn't changed a bit. Thank you for continuing to do this!

[@joysheets2412]

Happy birthday Dixie. My daughter turned 31 May 7th. I so look forward to your videos. God bless & stay safe. You are so very sweet & to be admired. Live that dream darlin!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Happy Birthday Dixie! Congrats on following your dreams!

[@cityboy4617]

HAPPY BIRTDAY BABBE

[@dperry7309]

I can’t thank you enough. I first got caught with your PCT hike series a little late, but kept up the whole way. I had only been on 1 previous backpacking trip. After watching you week after week hike the PCT, I gained so much knowledge and inspiration. I’ve done 3 long section hikes on or in and out (off trail) of the PCT and the JMT. 2 with my teenage daughter. So I guess if anything, thank you so much for your inspiration . My daughter and I do at least one big hike in the Sierras each summer now.

[@robertrockwell7581]

happy birthday Dixi. you are a inspiration to a lot of people keep hiking and stay safe.

[@evox786]

Happy birthday Dixie! I'm glad to hear your body is finally starting to cooperate with you!

[@denimlabels7315]

Cant think of a better way to spend a birthday, Happy Birthday Dixie. I followed your AT hike from the start and its amazing to see how far you have come.

[@HeroxYouxH8]

You're a huge inspiration. You've reached and inspired all kinds of people out there! Much love from the UK!

[@timshel011]

Total Respect Dixie! Keep it up girl! Alles Gute zum Geburtstag !!!

[@DavidSJ_DAP]

Happy Birthday (belatedly) Dixie!

[@christinewinterton7111]

Wow Dixie these videos are great! Love the little snippets with the local wildlife, those yellow flowers were magic.

[@billhubbard8503]

I LOVE your shots of all the flowers, bugs and other critters you're seeing along the trail. I followed along on your AT journey and I'm loving watching your PCT trek.

[@toddr316]

Way to go Dixie! Lot a fun watching your progress.

[@scjohnk]

Thank you Dixie!

[@plasticapple704]

Really enjoyed this video. The footage and editing was first class. Thanks!

[@97lumberjack]

Plastic Apple I love her vids too. Great music, scenery, & editing. Go git that dream, girl!

[@riff2072]

They do keep getting better and better P. Apple.

[@tvtoms]

Two things to say. 1) LOVING the PCT series so far. Fine quality filming and editing! 2) I've never heard someone pronounce ramen with a long a, but found it charming. That's the whole list, lol, have fun out there and stay healthy.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

*KEEP DREAMIN', DIXIE!!!!!!*

[@LoveeIsMyWeapon15]

[@daniellechance2506]

Happy Birthday!

Congratulations on the 100 miles, and a very happy (and obviously belated) birthday to you!

[@tippersteffi1]

Happy Birthday Dixie 🎈🎈🎈another great video

[@graymanprepper88]

Congratulations on Mile 100! And Happy Birthday!

[@christopherkiger3354]

Happy 31!!! And thanks again for letting us share your adventure! "A real bugger bear", that is great.

[@robbym70]

Happy belated. I am so thrilled to be watching your PCT journey. Your videos from the AT, in part, really motivated me to get back to backpacking after a 30 year hiatus. I spent 8 days in the Grand Canyon with a pack on my back a month ago and you are partly responsible for that. Thanks for the inspiration and I hope the good times keep rolling for you on the PCT.

[@LastChanceTinyHouse]

For me, crossing the line means going in reverse. I learned something five years back about myself that told me until now I never saw a line I couldn't or wouldn't have crossed. I'm glade that your inspiring people to be more then who or what they are and that because of it, you take hope in your journey. Gratz on 100 miles. Your southern slang and phrases crack me up. I'm looking forward to your views on the sierra's but I know that's not gonna be for at least a month from now.

[@eternityriver9524]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

[@MrFjackie13]

Happy Birthday Ms. Auburn. Love the videos.

[@TaylorRohead]

seriously the quality of these videos is amazing!!!

[@priscillac1709]

Happy belated Birthday Dixie!! Dream on.... Thanks so much for sharing your hiking adventures.

[@jwsnma]

Congrats on 100 miles and Happy Birthday !!

[@jodibillingsley]

#crosstheline I loved that particular video so much I shared it at work with my service excellence team that works on patient satisfaction. It was an incredible way to express how to keep your fears from controlling you, and how to go for things that may be scary or just be out different. It touched one of my employees so much that she took a leap and recently accepted a promotion. I have worked with her for 5 years and mentored her leadership skills. All she needed was that moment that spoke to her "it's the right time" And that's what you, YOU did for her! She's amazing and deserves all the amazing terrifying incredible things life has to offer. She just needed that encouragement of overcoming her fears. KUDOS Dixie and happy birthday!!

[@furkins6748]

I just wanted to say that I too am going through a rough patch in my life. On top of that (or maybe because of it) I am feeling the itch in my feet and there's no way for me to hit the trail atm. But your videos make me feel happy for a bit. So thank you very very much for sharing your journey.

[@jonallan392]

Trek on and Happy Birthday!!! Thanks for bringing us along :)

[@rafaelestrada5261]

Happy Birthday Dixie!! Great video

[@demoncleaner80]

I've just found your videos recently and have become an instant fan. This is like, better than Netflix. Thank you for sharing your experiences -- from one Southerner to another, keep it up... you are an inspiration for me to do this one day (I'm 37 now, no idea when!)

[@RCKenpilot]

Dixie you are rockin these videos and I'm lovin it! I'm sticking to my Dixie subscription like a hair in a biscuit! Happy Birthday Dixie and keep on NOBO! I love the real- ness that you are showing- it's the real deal and it's beautiful.
