I MOVED TO THAILAND (2022)

[@hanslain9729]

Bro... my guy... the fact that the mother of your children supports you is amazing. Shout out to her for loving you and your kids in such a way to support you getting better and being the version of you, the you you seek to be for yourself and your children and her. This makes me smile. Love FTW. Happy for all four of you!! Cory - your level of assertion over your existence is solid AF. Keep on keepin' on!!

[@nickischlemmer7052]

Been rooting for you since day 1 of the PCT! Can't wait to explore Thailand along with you! Doesn't matter what adventure your on, your personality brings me back again and again. Much love from Missouri ♥️

[@beverlywilson9693]

Omg, I am so looking forward to your Thailand videos! I went there for ten days on a whim, way back in the '90's, and just loved it. Every once in a while the thought creeps into my head, "I could just go live in Chang Mai." The people of Thailand are the best. One of my favorite memories is me standing on a corner of a busy street, trying to figure out how to cross the chaotic traffic without getting run over. As I stood there building up my courage, I felt a small hand slip into mine, and I looked to see a smiling little old lady. With a priceless grin on her face, she lead me safely across the street, through all the cars, scooters and tuk tuks, like it was nothing. Then bowed her head and returned back across the street. Not a word said. It still cracks me up that a little old lady had to help me cross a street, lol. I will never forget her.

[@aussieevonne7857]

That is such a lovely story. I also found the Thai people to be helpful and kind on the whole. I was in Chiang Mei in 2002 and loved it. I went on tours from there into the countryside and to the borders. I also went down south. Thailand was welcoming and beautiful.

[@lynnemaclean7201]

I also have been following you from day 1. You inspired me to hike Scotland and change my life at age 62. You are the same age as my children and if you find happiness, go for it. Never listen to other peoples opinions, they are not for you! Good luck and looking forward to where your adventures take you 🥰

[@t.q.6639]

Relationships won’t heal you, and being single won’t kill you. Love when you are ready, not when you are lonely. Make friends with Thai people, they are amazing. Get to know them.

[@nfl8987]

Thank goodness you started posting again! I was needing your positivity!!

[@hikingfeedsmysoul6960]

Cory- keep the channel going. I just love your personality and your compassion. You could talk about dirt all day and I would still enjoy watching your channel. 😊 It’s good to see you happy

[@196813JSC]

It’s so nice to see you again Corey…I was thinking yesterday it had been a while since I saw you on KZbin. Love your gentle spirit and pursuit of adventure!! Happy 2022 to you!! Looking forward to seeing your next adventures!

[@Kindahush]

We love you, Cory! You look happy, you sound happy and we are thrilled that you are following your heart! Life is simply too short to do anything else. So glad we can call you our friend in this lifetime!!

[@RonOrud]

I have been watching you since the PCT. Your growth has been amazing. Glad you are happy. Definitely don’t give a damn about what others think. I’m jealous I f your free cargo plane travel. The cost of travel is a big problem for most. You do you!

[@kellyjohnson3617]

Thailand is beautiful! I have spent time in Phuket and Trang. So gorgeous. I appreciate how much you have grown in confidence since you took your first steps on the cat. You look a lot healthier. But you sound mentally and emotionally healthier. I look forward to your posts. Enjoy your time there. Eat as much fresh fruit as you can there. Lots of fish. The best fruit ever! Try durian. It’s a unique experience. My cousin lived there for awhile so I got to go a couple times. Wishing the best for you and your family

[@meadowlark7182]

Whatever your adventures are and wherever they take you, I’ll watch them 😊

[@esciteach7997]

I also started watching you on the PCT. I have never read negative comment; just read the comments below. we all support and love you. Thailand is supposed to be awesome. Wish you luck as always.

[@erichitsthewoods4612]

Getting back up to date on your vids. Good for you man! Thanks yet again for sharing your journey!

[@rosiecotton8343]

I'm excited to see Thailand. Can't wait for the videos! Hammer that nail the way that makes you most happy! Big hug buddy!

[@Fillemexicaine36]

It is good to see what you are up to, Second Chance! Best wishes to you in Thailand!

[@SecondChanceHiker]

It has been an amazing 2022. I hope you are well. I remember all your positivity ❤️

[@kristymoore7052]

Followed you from day 1. Still here. Live your best life. My uncle moved there and never returned. Lived happily ever after. I’ll be there soon.

[@SecondChanceHiker]

That is awesome I absolutely love the Country.

[@demcduff]

Cory, I love how your life has evolved. You are doing what you want to do, and that's what's important. I love the backdrop for this video! Keep doing you, my friend!

[@larchlarch9851]

Mazel tov for you ! We like being part of your journey. Blessings.

[@rabbischlomoify]

This video made my 2022 :) happy to see you happy! Such an inspiration to see this “second chance” happen - you’re awesome!

[@Celtict66]

Like others, I've been watching you since the PCT. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, life experiences, emotions and love. Looking forward to seeing more. All the best to you Cory!

[@bkf238]

I’m so proud of you and it’s been great watching you grow on a personal level (and shrink physically). I’ve been cheering you on since I found your channel. Keep doing what makes you happy.

[@AdventuresInNoMadness]

We are so excited for you Cory!! Really looking forward to seeing your travels in and around Thailand. Big hugs to you!!!

[@greensleeveskwok8172]

I admire your courage to be yourself, Cory! And thanks for bringing Thailand to us. Respect!

You look so happy, Cory! Keep up the good work! 🥳

[@dianal.1279]

I'm rooting for you! I love Thailand and it'll be interesting to see it through your eyes. Have fun!

[@alyss8213]

Keep adventuring, friend! Whether you're thru hiking, dayhiking, or strolling...here for it. Look forward to seeing Thailand through your eyes. Be well!

[@LenserX]

I have always judged you... as AWESOME! So happy for you and your new adventure. Also hoping to come visit before long.

[@SecondChanceHiker]

It’s a running joke now, but please visit for some spicy Thai margaritas 😎❤️

[@pasuhi]

This video made us so happy ! You sound so happy and grounded. Wishing you many years of contentment and that deep kind of joy ! Looking forward to seeing more of your life journey in Thailand

[@dennymoore4325]

Cory you just need to live the life that you want and don't worry about what others think or say if living in Thailand is what you want then thats great go for it. I've been following you from the very beginning and can see the change that has taken place in your life, here's to a better 2022. :)

[@susanwelbourn9267]

I am another that has been following you since your PCT start. I am so happy that you are happy. Keep doing you Cory, wherever that takes you and thanks for sharing the parts that you choose

[@grannysquared7140]

I've been watching you since the very beginning and I have to say, I've never seen you look healthier or happier. you are literally glowing

[@candlesbyvictoria]

You have the kindness soul the world needs more Cory's in it. Love and best wishes to you always.

[@garypeterson3628]

Lookin good Cory, very healthy and upbeat. I think the rural Thai cuisine will be just the thing for you. Looking forward to your new adventures.

[@Shelleyc1972]

Please whatever you do don't do any "animal experiences". No places where they let you ride elephants or pet tigers. Those places are cruel to animals. I'm super excited for your new start! Enjoy your beautiful new life with getting healthy. Much love!

[@SecondChanceHiker]

I agree.

[@claramullen]

Hi Cory good to see you. I am so happy for you getting you mental state more stable. Yes the best reason for getting the weight down is to be healthy. Take care we love you too Happy New Year

[@TimmysWorld-te8lp]

Great video buddy! Seems like you have really reached into your inner self and discovered yourself since you started your KZbin channel. Sometimes just getting of the house and experiencing life will help you do that. In this video.. you seem to have really matured into yourself and really seem to be content with your life at the moment. For that, i praise you.. you get one life to live soo LIVE IT!.. dont worry about what others say or do. Keep it going my friend, cant wait to view your next video.

[@patmyer5917]

Corey you live life to the fullest. The good and the bad. Your a survivor that’s obvious. Don’t listen to negativity your doing great. Keep on enjoying life you only have one

[@ATravelingAddictSolo]

I watch your channel because I never know what's going to be in your next video and you are so free! I'm here to support you in each and every adventure because it helps you grow into the person you are. I'm here to stay! Enjoy life Corey!

[@johnshores4745]

This is the first video i have watched of your journey , having travelled to Thailand for the last 10 plus years i know you'll love it there . The food the nature and the people are all great and will help you on your adventure . Look forward to following that adventure

[@GingerByrn1]

Glad you are living your best life! Can‘t wait to see what Thailand holds for you!

[@KatWoman_]

You are living your best life possible, Corey. Enjoy your life to the fullest. I look forward to more videos.

[@richholtzman9754]

Been following you since your first PCT video. Glad to see you back making videos & looking forward to learning about Thailand.

[@ktrmeadow]

Wishing all the best in your new chapters!!

[@Cruzinsusan5101]

Wowza!! I had been looking for your video's! I didn't realize you had another channel. I'll look for it. I totally get you - I can't just sit in one place and let the world go by! I must see it! Or at least visit new places!! I think your choices are fabulous! You really are amazing! Love how you don't get stagnant! Moving to Thailand? Ha!! Just Wowza! Did you hire a guide to take you around and translate?

[@paddyfitz1845]

Good to hear you are doing well. So happy to hear you're sharing your life and travel with your children. Looking forward to your next adventure in Thailand. Cheers from California.

[@donaldgerig9515]

Great to see you again Cory! (I don't do Instagram or Facebook). Sounds like you are really enjoying yourself. Good for you! Keep doing what feels right for you. I can tell you have a really big heart. You even took the time to participate in a surprise Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary video for my wife and I that was compiled by our daughter and granddaughter. You are someone special - and don't ever forget that. I look forward to seeing your next videos from wherever you are. Here's wishing you all the best for 2022 and beyond. Don from Oregon

[@sallycooper7677]

I've been very neglectful this past year keeping up with what you have been doing I will have to go back and catch up! Just having watched this video, though, I can see the positive change in you! You look amazing...can see the difference mentally on your face :) ! I look forward to you need adventure! I love Thailand! The food is so fresh and healthy and delicious! And the culture is amazing! I look forward to you sharing this with us!! I'm very happy for you (if not a bit jealous too! Lol)

[@pismorichy]

Dude you crack me up! Been following you since Norco. You recovered nicely from the German farm girl, good job and if you didn't get chowed by a gator and and Kodiac or polar bear you should be good down in Thailand. Namaste 2nd. Wood-man near the PCT

WOW you go Coryyou seem so much more mature and content and most importantly happy! good for you. You go Cory

[@bigandlittle]

You are amazing and inspiring. Loved this video. I don't do Instagram so it was a bit unsettling to get a tiny snippet of the story of Valentine's Day? And ashes made into a tattoo? Sorry for the heartache, I have no idea what happened but it sounds like you're finding healthy ways to process it. Keep up the awesome personal journey you are on!

[@StephLa]

So amazing to see you living your best life I know it’s not easy but your honouring her life by living yours to the fullest! Wish you all the best and many many adventures. ❤️

[@happyhiker2665]

I’m so glad to see your video! I’ve gotten rid of all other social media so this is my only link to you now - thrilled to be a part of the new adventures ! I know very little about Thailand other than the delicious food 😁. Do you have friends there that you are staying with & do you speak the language? Looking forward to the next video! 💕

[@rhondallyons9842]

I love hearing what you are doing. Enjoy Thailand! So sorry for your loss. Hugs I've been following you from in the desert of California!! 🙂

[@planner722]

I think this channel is still appropriate… a hiker doesn’t always need to be hiking. Heck, I bet most walks over there would be considered a day hike here. You may be done with long backpacking trips but I really doubt you are done with “hiking”. It just depends on how you define hiking. Good luck and best wishes…. I’ll still will be following (p.s. KZbin is the only ‘social media’ I use except maybe a little rumble/parlor).

[@jasonjackson7293]

Cory I have watched a lot of your videos and I think this is my absolute favorite one. You seem so happy in this video that it inspires me as well. Hope you have a great 2022 in Thailand and can’t wait to go on adventures with you through KZbin. Maybe you should call the “Second Chance Adventures” now.

[@cheryl_the_horsechick]

omg god cory! from pct to this. have a great life! i’ll watch your journey.

[@reinholdvink2654]

Dont know how you do this, but I have to work every day to pay my bills...

[@Elena-er7zp]

do you have debt?

[@bettywith2girls]

KZbin channel, plain and simple.

[@SecondChanceHiker]

I originally did this by selling everything I worked hard for. My beautiful dream house is gone, my vehicles are gone. I own a backpack now. I have multiple KZbin channels, also I invested wisely. It’s scary as heck to sell your house but I had proper motivation when doctor told me I was going to die. Before Thailand I slept in a garage floor for a 5 weeks at my exes house saving money. Wash clothes in sinks. My life style is not for everyone but in Thailand I live like a king.

[@SecondChanceHiker]

My goal in Thailand is to make as much money as possible and build a future again. 2022 will be a good year Is my goal.

[@BookishOwl2]

Living in America is crazy expensive. Surprised more people aren’t leaving.

[@kayakinggrandmakelly7105]

Wow! This is awesome, and taking your kids all over the world is a tremendous benefit to their upbringing. I believe many people today do not understand other people around the world because they have never been out of their 100 mile radius. I used to live in the Azores and if you ever get a chance to go visit there, I think you will love it!

Corey, just saw your youtube video. I am retired from FedEx and living in Chiang Mai Thailand. Been here for 18 months. I have much information you might like. I was 360lb 2 years ago and started intermittant fasting. Now I am 230lb and while I gained a little recently, I feel good. I am married to a Thai woman and live here. I have learned so much that you do not get from internet. Let me know if you want to communicate. Be careful on Thai marriage....

[@SecondChanceHiker]

Awesome! let’s meet up in Chiang Mai and zero plans to get married any time soon. I did the same thing with my first wife we got engaged second time meeting and waited a few years before tying the knot.

[@SecondChanceHiker]

Message me on Instagram best way for me to find you. I will be there in February let’s get a beer and share stories.

[@charleslyon7724]

Corey, good to hear you will be here in February. If you are not getting married soon, you will need to take action to get an extension of stay on your current visa. In addition do not forget to report to immigration in 90 days from entry. Thanks for the reply. I live north of the old town and we have a couple of single apts next to the house but they do not have kitchens. We are close to three western style hotels and two malls for shopping.

[@sammidross]

May have to change the name of the channel to Second Chance Adventures...lol...we are here bc of you, all your adventures, and you....be happy

Question: What ashes? Who died? I don't do Facebook or Instagram so I didn't hear anything. Last I heard was that 2nd Chance Hiker couldn't make it to visit Little Bee from the U.S. to Germany on St. Valentine's Day and she was unhappy bc he had promised and it had been months since they saw each other. He did come to Germany but they broke up. I've been subscribed to 2nd Chance for a yr or 2 now...don't know what he's talking about. Please clue me in! Thank you! I wish 2nd Chance Hiker all the best.

[@bettywith2girls]

@@alyss8213 Ugh! Right after the questions, I wrote that I don't do (i.e. am not on) Facebook or Instagram. If he doesn't want to say on YT, that's OK. Just don't know what's going on... [Edit: Oh, OK...I read some comments down below that I missed and now understand. His private business, of course. I wish him well...I think Thailand is going to be an exciting new adventure for Cory...good for him!]

[@ChrisSeliga]

Basically Cory knew/met someone (not Little Bee) for Valentine's Day 2021, they did the mattress mambo and created a beautiful baby girl, named Brooklyn, who was born at the end of October, but she sadly passed away from SIDS on November 24th. Cory didn't know he was the father until after she was born. RIP Little Brooklyn!

So as a former deck ape. Dude fuck the comments. You are a huge inspiration to those of us who gained weight when we got out and still love the outdoors. Thank you so much for posting not only your successes, but some of your less wonderful moments. All the advice on gear for heavier folks so we can get out too has also been a god send…oooooh and the pooping outside too. You don’t think about it when your fit, but it is for sure a perishable skill when you get heavier :). Thank you so much ):
