The complete movie length documentary about thru hiking the Appalachian Trail.
bikehikesafari...
Hiking the Appalachian Trail is one of the great long distance hiking trails of the world. I was lucky enough to complete the trail and film my experiences. From Bears to Rattlesnakes to getting kicked in the nuts by a wild pony, it's all here. Let's not forget the rain and snow, this is not an easy trail. Sections like Mahoosuc Notch are notorious for how hard they are, I just think it's fun.
My name is Brad, on the hiking trails I'm known as Shepherd.
Make sure you subscribe to this channel, more adventure travel videos are coming soon. I am bicycle touring around the world and thru hiking all the best hiking trails in the world.

Well done documentary! It's hard to crunch over 2000 miles into 1 hour but this documentary has managed to do it and I feel it's very well shot and edited. I did the Appalachian Trail in 2002 and it was nice to see all the familiar places again on this documentary. Thanks and looking forward to your next adventure!

The Fontana Dam area is where I have lived my whole life, being on the local Fire and Rescue department I have hiked and searched many miles in these hills, some with good results and some not so much. Be safe keep hiking and always remember to help keep our mountains beautiful by picking up trash. I say our because these mountains are a gift to us all no matter what part of the world you are from these mountains will protect, feed, astonish, as well as take your life. Hike on everyone, hike on!!

@@notyouraccount9742 Was actually NOBO March 2018 when i had some serious knee issues after a few days and had to pull off. It was great while it lasted. 2019 got put off due to a work accident and physical rehab, and 2020 is cancelled due to COVID and family issues just days before i was heading to Georgia. As things are i might go again in 2021 but for sure will be absolutely set for 2022. In the meantime, i've switched out my big three gear and made serious changes to what smaller gear i'm using. Still deciding on doing the approach trail again up to Springer.

Great video, thank you. I don't think most viewers don't realize how much extra effort you had to put in to create all of the "hiking past" and time lapse shots. It probably added days to your thru-hike! I section hiked the entire AT over 41 years, and while I have some decent photos from my last 10 years of hiking, I have few videos. It was great to show some of my friends what it takes to cover some of the harder sections such as Wildcat, Goose Eye, Mahoosuc Notch and Katahdin. I also got to see some of the views from all the Maine summits that were socked in when I went through in 2012 & 2014! I hope you can safely continue your adventures.

I hike too, but the question I have about this expenditure of time is: How do you handle the logistics and finances of your home while doing this?

You do what you can. Me, I dont want to lose my apartment so I am sub-renting it for 3 of the 6 months. Paying for the other 3 months, shutting off everything but electricity- which will barely be used- putting a hold on my car insurance, quitting my job, and I've been preparing and saving up for 2 years for this. I start March 16.

@@Benitojacova 7 days, my hiking partner had something going on on the 16th so we're starting on the 17th. That's fine with me. Ready? Well, a month ago my response would have been "Hell Yeah!" but now, idk. I think I am, just *_extremely_* nervous and anxious. A little concerned about failing, been having self-doubt lately. But I guess thats normal. I'm about as prepared as I could possibly be. I appreciate you asking.

Hubby and I are planning a thru hike for 2020. And this is one of the best videos I've seen! Awesome job capturing nature... the good, the bad, and the rattlesnakes! Soo much rain. I'm gonna need to mentally prepare for that. And awesome overall time. -Ash

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, there is a lot of rain. Compared to the Pacific Crest Trail and Continental Divide Trail the Appalachian Trail is very wet. It's better to get used to it and be prepared. A lightweight umbrella is a good idea. More info on my website. www.bikehikesafari.com/appalachian-trail-blog/

Brad, I agree with JP JPJP! This was an absolutely stellar documentary, my favorite video of the A/T to date as well, and will easily find a place among my most favorite KZbin videos list. You should end up with a ton of views on this one before long. And huge congratulations on the Triple Crown!

Congratulations on completing the Tripple Crown! This is one of the best hour long AT documentaries I have seen. The footage is very good with little to no glare, the editing nice with some FX added and the colors look very lifelike on my new UHD TV. Thank you for all the hard work you put into it. I look forward to watching some of the detailed footage from the states I have completed and plan on completing soon.

Well done! Your accomplishment of completing all three of the big trails is a true testament to your fitness and perseverance. Your calm, level-headed demeanor is a great asset to completing a thru-hike. I hope to thru-hike the AT in 2020 and raise money for ovarian cancer. Your documentary is a great motivator. Thanks!
