Hike2BHuman Yay, glad you enjoyed it! I was blown away by how crunchy the trail got from ice towards the top. I did make it! -Tara/O’hai

[@Smilin_Don]

Nice video . You have a good eye. Almost felt like I was there with you a couple times. Happy trails.

[@BackcountryBanter]

Smilin' Don OUTDOORS Aw! I’m so honored 💜 Thank you for the high compliments, I’m so glad you got to escape into the park for a bit! -Tara/O’hai

[@jtpromolab]

You're sense of humor cracks me up!

[@notquiteultralight1701]

Nicely done!

[@mamavweathers716]

Fun to watch! And thank you for the closed captioning :-)

[@BackcountryBanter]

Of course! It took a long time to edit the automated subtitles from KZbin, but it was fun and is important enough to sit through the process. Thank you! -Tara/O’hai

[@JTMinnesota]

Good stuff, Tara. Seriously.

[@BackcountryBanter]

J.T. Minnesota Thank you so much!!!! -Tara/O’hai

[@nikkis1871]

[@barbarahalcomb6353]

Great job, TAra,. Beautiful place. Can’t believe you were out there by yourself. Keep up your good work. Love you.

[@BackcountryBanter]

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to make. I’m so glad you like it 💜 -Tara/O’hai

[@kirkmillerBO84]

Great hike and great trail Atvb

[@BackcountryBanter]

Thank you!! (What does “Atvb” mean?) -Tara/O’hai

[@jeremywenrich]

This was fun! I hope that this means you’ll be doing more camera work in future videos :)

[@BackcountryBanter]

Thank you so much! We will see if I do more selfie-style narratives, but I’ll continue to give Joe my footage and photos so he can work his magic and blend our AT experiences/documentations for y’all 💜 -Tara/O’hai

[@jeremywenrich]

Backcountry Banter, I look forward to it! Hope that you both are doing well.

[@HikingHarter]

Beautiful park, thank you for sharing. Did you guys finish your flip-flop of the AT?

[@BackcountryBanter]

Jim Harter You’re welcome! We were scheduled to get back on trail in early March to finish the last 800miles. We decided not to endanger the beloved community along the trail during this pandemic ... a week later they closed the trail. It’s a matter of waiting now ... -Tara/O’hai

[@mobiltec]

Cool video. Nice job.

[@BackcountryBanter]

mobiltec Thank you!! -Tara/O’hai

[@X_explorer]

Good vid!

[@BackcountryBanter]

eXplorer Thank you! -Tara/O’hai

[@davidherdman6181]

Brilliant, you are a natural....

[@BackcountryBanter]

David Herdman 😭 Thank you!! 💜 -Tara/O’hai

[@WannabeAlpinist]

Thanks for sharing Tara! Have you ever visited Colorado? I film mountaineering videos out here. Keep at it!

[@BackcountryBanter]

Wannabe Alpinist Oh cool! I lived there for just under seven years until last July. Glad you are getting to explore the expanse of wilderness out there 💜 -Tara/O’hai

[@WannabeAlpinist]

@@BackcountryBanter That is awesome! My favorite state so far :)

[@davidsixtwo]

Looks like the Cumberland Trail is near there!

[@johncalvaresi7873]

Thank you! Very good!

[@BackcountryBanter]

Thank you so much!! -Tara/O’hai

[@hermeticallysealed]

the color of the chain link fence on the fire tower was the color of Joe's toenail varnish DEEEEEP CUT

[@BackcountryBanter]

hermetically sealed Aaahahahaha, Uh-mazing spot! 😂😁 -Tara/O’hai

[@shellydehn4668]

You learned well, Grasshopper!

[@BackcountryBanter]

Shelly Dehn Thank you dearly! 🙏💜 -Tara/O’hai

[@mars_hikes967]

Yeah!!! The last minutes could eventually be the beginning of a new genre! Life along the trails, something like a docu-soap of lives of famous thru-hikers. No other thrus have ever done this and you cool cats could even do it with style. More subs than foreignmade wanderfear...

[@BackcountryBanter]

mars_hikes OooOo, now you’re on to something! Thank you 💜 -Tara/O’hai

[@WillN2Go1]

Fun video. I wanted to comment that sometimes do you ever wonder if there's no one else on the trail because they got the text alert about the cannibals... but that would be too weird. And don't eat that candy! Covid boy had his hands all over it.

[@WayOffTheTrail]

Great job. Joe could learn a thing or two from you. lol

[@BackcountryBanter]

WayOffTheTrail Whoooooaa, I don’t know about that, but I’m honored 😁💜 Watching him make amazing videos and seeing our footage and photos combined to capture our AT journey gave me the confidence to try out editing. If I didn’t feel so definitively comfortable being my weirdo self around him, I’d be tempted to filter myself before releasing anything to the public. Luckily, I don’t care anymore 😁 -Tara/O’hai

[@WayOffTheTrail]

@@BackcountryBanter LOL...that's the spirit! 😀

[@tubeularvids]

Yo where da number 1 hiking dude at? Hope all is well!

[@jamesking9941]

love that park well bone

[@sherriebrown9863]

Nice Job Tara!! Great video!! I hope you had a gun with you being by yourself!! Being the Hillbilly that I am, never go anywhere without packing!! Nice sanging Joanna

[@BackcountryBanter]

sherrie brown I’ve got two guns, don’t worry ... one on each arm, some people call ‘em biceps 💪🏼 💪🏼 Thank you for the compliments! -Tara/O’hai

[@eljayhughes]

Better than Joe's videos, did you ever get a trail name?

[@BackcountryBanter]

Lj Trekker Ah, cimmon , his videos are amazing! Thank you for the compliment! My trail name is O’hai 😁

[@squireca]

more myog please.

[@Roger-ny9xr]

video was good, but at times it was hard to make out what you were saying

[@BackcountryBanter]

Roger That’s been my whole life 😕 When I talk at a “normal” volume for other people, it feels like I’m shouting. I made sure to customize the subtitles on the video to compensate/guarantee it included all made up words and hard to hear words 💜 -Tara/O’hai

[@paoemantega8793]

Sorry Joe, I came here to watch and listen to you, your personality and your thoughts.
