If you fall, you die. | CDT Day 7

[@nathanielperrine782]

Hi Kelly! Great job here... I'm a former Outward Bound Instructor & professional mountaineering & river guide out West. I'm now 51 and facing health issues. Your vids are just what the doctor ordered! I really appreciate the simplicity & straightforwardness you've achieved--no BS/gimmicks--keep it up Nate

[@diamondbackking4141]

Without a doubt, my favorite hike you have done yet !! Best cinematography opportunity yet ! Go Kelly !

[@maxrun934]

agree

[@agnesskibicka]

​@@maxrun934yes! Hello 👋 from Poland 🇵🇱 and my rural life channel 😊

[@juliaburkley8042]

So so SO beautiful!! Some advise that works for me, but totally feel free to take or leave. As someone with awful knees and who loves to snow hike, put your poll on the down hill side next to your foot on the sketchy traverses! That way if you slip, your poll can stop ya because it’s usually much more stable. Others may have different opinions but that’s definitely saved me in the past!

[@Lizzybeth1973]

Snowshoe Hare in its summer coat. Nice!

[@richardthorne2804]

yes I agree with some of the other comments you do the best job of documenting/video taping your thru-hikes. Just love it. I can't wait to hear what you think of the Wind River Range when you get there : )

[@FMTFXE22]

Hello again Kelly, what beautiful scenery surrounding you all. I have a video content suggestion for you. Not to give your exact locations away, but can you from day to day insert a screenshot thumbnail of past day trail maps? This would be very informative for those who someday want to take on this challenge. A screenshot map connected to this magnificent scenery would be awesome. Thank you for taking your KZbin followers along and sharing your latest adventure. Stay safe. ❤😊👍

[@lyndajefferson5929]

It's so beautiful out their. Glad to be able to see such beautiful views. Stay safe and stay warm.

[@mindymiraglia]

Insanely gorgeous scenery. Wishing you the best for a great thru-hike Kelly! 😊

[@burnsidebobthorpe]

not that long ago, couple months that snowshoe hare would have been pretty much all white....cool how they adapt to the change of seasons to blend in

[@brianthomas3465]

Kelly I was nervous when you were chest deep in Florida swamp water but this is a whole other level 😂 be careful please.

[@jameswitham3248]

As a viewer, just getting these little snapshots of the hike, it's crazy how one minute it's green and grassy and the next minute the trails plastered in snow! Seems like quite a rollercoaster of terrain and scenery, but looks amazing. Keep going and keep the vids comin'!

[@Bill_tyler]

It was a late winter, Teton was crazy too

[@jesss.884]

Thanks for bringing us along..the Views!! Breathtaking 🏔️!!

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

That place is so beautiful!!! What a EPIC ADVENTURE 🥰🥰🥰

[@georgelynnainsworth4496]

This is almost the perfect hiking video.

[@jenniferthompson9573]

I loved the hare-changing from its winter coat to summer coat. Also loved the Mountain goats yesterday. That footage was amazing!

[@cwesley2005]

This trail is literally insane!!!!

[@DougZeiser]

Right when I was thinking, "As scary as this is, it would probably be amazing sled riding haha," then you go and whip out your sleeping pad! 8:38 You are awesome. You got some amazing views in this one. And that rabbit at the end was the cherry on top. I loved his white feet. Great video!

[@amgaines7036]

What beautiful country ! Thanks for sharing your adventure again Kelly. Have a safe hike. I'll be following your reports daily. Aubrey Gaines, New Brunswick, Canada

[@Morgan.Bentley]

You’re crushing it so far! I’m excited for more🤙🏼

[@SkiCounseler]

I was just in the Bob Marshall Wilderness and the good news is there is hardly any snow left. Have fun hiking!

[@SnowboardJedi]

If there is it wont be there after all this heat hitting!!

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdy Kelly the Arkansas Queen of the Trail! That part of the trail is soooo striking! Don’t know how it can get better but hope so! Wow! Watching from Angel Fire NM with my family! Saddle Up!

[@danrussell9207]

New to your channel but thank you for posting these up what beautiful videos and scenery!

[@skysmixedbag145]

What an awesome view looking down on the lake!

[@ndan3746]

Note from Nancy from NH - trust your spikes

[@randybeeson3424]

Stunning pictures Kelly! Your doing such a great job vlogging. Thanks for bringing us along !

[@mikedr1549]

That's an amazing hike!!!

[@jrcriner6542]

Boiling water in a plastic bottle in your sleeping bag. Keeps you warm at night and gives you water in the morning that’s not frozen. Learned this from Outdoor Boys

[@jamesadams2334]

The CDT is just incredible! Thanks for bringing us along. geek

[@carolwerner3881]

I just can't imagine how breath taking it must be in person because it is spectacular in your video!!!! So cool!!!

[@johnwakefield9378]

Great video and scenery. Hard to beat the Rockies for raw beauty.

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

That trail definitely has some epic views 😮 Also real sketchy trails. Be careful 😊

[@wildwithwindjammer8664]

Incredible scenery and great video. Happy trails out there:)

[@stevenagle615]

Great filming, such beauty. Excellent camera 📷 work. Kelly ❤ Now if feel like I must visit Glacier NP & hike CDT. 🎉

[@JoseyWales-ed]

Wow, great memories in the making. Absolutely beautiful!! Good luck take care!

[@TheDailyWipeout]

5:42 The peak in the background looks a little bit like our Matterhorn. Greez from Switzerland

[@JohnnysSidebar]

Be safe! Going to watch the whole trip.

[@JohnsTinyWoodshop]

That was some nice Bob Roas-esque scenery

[@DadDaughter-outdoor-Adventures]

Bruhhhh and the zoom on that camera 😮!!! Epic… Be safe sistuh prayers.

[@stevetrimborn3739]

There's something extra cool when a thru hiker is somewhere you've been before. That wake up picture at Two Medicine was incredible. You saw a lot even more impressive thru out the day. It;s nice that "Socks" the Bunny stopped by for a visit.

[@jasonjones5213]

Great videos Kelly!

[@teresap.5991]

You are amazing 😍 Kelly! You go gurl❤ That bunny 🐰 was adorable!

[@squirrel_bait]

Breathtaking!!! But, you are much braver than I for sure.

[@ariannariveraa]

Love these videos!

[@williamthurman1317]

I'm 74 now and backpacked my whole life acrossed the west. I think you are doing an amazing job, I just would make one recommendation. I didn't see a bear spray cannister. I hope you have one. It has saved me more than once.

[@MaxZomboni]

She has the bear spray. She covered it in her This was stressful…the process of beginning a SOBO CDT Thru Hike video.

[@starman9458]

Be careful on those trails, they’re very steep!

[@maxmillion4216]

This is the best hike with awesome views so far..! Kelly made a new hire friend today....lol

[@randyerickson2154]

I just wish you had all of this in 4K. Talk about amazing.

[@Nickel1911]

Scenes look like a Bob Ross painting. Beautiful

[@Buzz420]

Kelly- you can buy better spikes (cramp-ons) with even better traction in snow. The ones you have with the spring is useful in mild conditions & may accommodate your needs but thought I'd just give you an alternative if they don't. Happy trails my friend

[@AbleHammer]

Awesome. Snow shoe hare getting its summer colors ❤

[@RickINFJ]

Hard to believe a few weeks ago you were van camping and swimming at Lake Ouachita! Now you're sledding down mountain sides. 😂 Take care 🌲🏕🌲

[@robertbarnes4]

Views are beautiful. Yours doing awesome

[@bradyessary5668]

I now fully understand why you waited until now to start hiking!

[@hhawg1]

We're not in Arkansas anymore, Toto.

[@lalasteen3860]

Incredible views! Looks so serene!

[@zhukov43]

You sure have a beautiful country, thank you for continued content on your hike.

[@kylesueltenfuss7922]

When I was camping at the Morning Star camp ground we were lucky to see the white mountain goats jumping on the cliffs. At this point you're probably almost out of Glacier, but iff not start watching the cliffs for the goats jumping.

[@anneoconnor3614]

Breathtaking ...........

[@travissapp4961]

Awesome great adventures 😀 have fun

You are really up there,

[@AK2TN420]

Stunning.

[@paavoviuhko7250]

Amazing videos. High elevations. Breathing must be difficult. It seems I'm subscribed to three Arkansas thru hikers. Audrey All Over is also on the CDT and Rebound is on the AT.

[@RolandKrastins]

A double Wow ! What spectacular video today! What a fun day! I like the snowshoe rabbit! The scenery was awesome and beautiful! 😮

[@MaxZomboni]

8:36 Good times. The way you are taking to the snow, I think you may have made a mistake not going NOBO. You could have been glissading all the way through Colorado. 😎👍

[@Snacksandbackpacks]

What a beautiful and fun day!!

[@vickifg13]

I so enjoyed your video today.❤

You got some outstanding views.

[@torrencel.2662]

This gotta be the most bipolar trail I've ever seen. One minute its Summer, the next its Winter 😂 A brotha wouldn't know what to wear! Just walking around over & underdressed all day long!😂

[@three-cats-photography]

[@BobL84]

will you be able to summit one of the higher mountains or is it too dangerous

Hi Kelly. I wanted to ask you, which one is the watch you are wearing?

Wow, that is not real! So awesome!

[@sonnywarren]

Make sure you don’t fall cuz 👍
