Flying across the country over multiple time zones, riding on a bus, and getting used to higher altitudes in cold weather are bound to affect your body and mind. Hopefully, by now, you've adjusted. As you know, your KZbin followers are rooting for you. You can do this, Honey Bee (we've seen you "buzz" through some tough times on the AT). BTW, I like your new graphics, music, and style -- you've really stepped up your video "game"🎬👏(think back to your 2022 AT thru-hike announcement video). 😉🐝

[@Maybe_Jessie]

@@jeevjagostudios I definitely should’ve taken a few days just to chill before rushing on to the trail lol

[@robertt9270]

Sit in one place and allow yourself to acclimate. It’s a very real thing!

[@karenanddogs6645]

Don't push yourself until it passes.

[@Maybe_Jessie]

@@robertt9270 In retrospect, this would’ve been the wise thing to do

[@0HARE]

Sad to see you having a rough time of it. Wishing you better luck tomorrow.

[@jerrimichael499]

Water Jess lots of water.

[@Onelesstraveledby]

Very nice footage! Thanks for sharing, and greetings from Canada!

[@justtryhikes]

Hang in there. I'm not a cold weather/snow person either. It would be hard for me, too. Maybe the headache is from lack of sleep, time difference, and lack of the feeling of security our phones give us. Breath and remember that thousands of people have done this, and you can, too.

[@stanbono2103]

good to see you back on trail, I’ll be following…….

[@seanjohnson4615]

Your App Trail videos inspired me to hike the Camino de Santiage Frances route earlier this year. Thank you and I so look forward to watching your new adventures. Sean

[@Maybe_Jessie]

@@seanjohnson4615 that’s awesome! I’d love to do the Camino as well!

[@Self_Proppelled]

City life made you soft. A couple days on trail and you'll be drinking bear water and hiking marathons again. I have faith in you.

[@Maybe_Jessie]

@@Self_Proppelled lmao you might be right about that 🤣

[@OptimistNZ]

On the trail, awesome! Good luck!

[@expatadventureturkey9324]

You Got This! Believe and let your positive attitude and inner strength move you forward.

[@Galiuros]

Welcome back, Jessie! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@dannythecamper4186]

Safety first, good video with some beautiful views of mountains covered in snow, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@soulspacehomestead4941]

Good for you, let those tears flow and let that pain out of you! Those emotions need to come out of you, don’t be afraid to just surrender to your emotions, it’s the most loving thing you can do to love yourself. We all have emotions that need to come out of us so don’t judge them or yourself for feeling what your feeling, just feel them. We love you Jessie and we want you to know the joy that you deserve to have in your life. We are with you and caring about you, but most importantly God is also with you and loves you with every ounce of God’s being. You will succeed, not just on the trail, but also in finding what your soul is longing for, real love peace, joy and happiness. God bless you and keep you my sister.

[@zoeynoelle2307]

So happy to see you back on trail Jessie! I’ve missed your videos. I hope the rough start passed quickly and you are doing better now. I look forward to following your journey.

[@michaelkennedy4346]

Welcome to Washington. The Cascades in early July can be rough. Lots of post holing. Just have to tough it out. Good luck.

[@rickwhitson2804]

I'm 62 but I would still love to do that trail. Beautiful place

[@cynthiasmith4966]

Just subscribed! Catching up and will watch your AT journey! Best wishes!

[@WanderwithWill]

You got it, Jessie!

[@ClaytonSea]

I love your Everett Aquasox hat!!! Have a fun adventure :)

[@Maybe_Jessie]

I’ve now made it a personal mission to go to an Aquasox game 😂

[@ClaytonSea]

@@Maybe_Jessie They are so much fun. I threw the first pitch at a game when I was younger. Are you having fellow hikers sign the brim of your hat?

[@Maybe_Jessie]

@@ClaytonSea nah but that would be a great idea! The name on the brim of the hat is presumably the former owner lol

[@sledneck7398]

Oh no, not the cold! Warm internet hugs my friend.🍯🐝

[@hikerbikerclutz8377]

Ugggh yeah it's 100° here and I'm cold just watching this vid. Be safe chick, take it slow and feel better. You got this 💪🤘💛

[@timn9446]

Beautiful but snow in late June? Not sure I would be up for that. Rough Day 1!

[@lindseysbooklife]

There's snow out here (I live in Oregon) until late July at higher altitudes, even as low as 6,000 feet. It's normal here and snow free backpacking isn't usually guaranteed until August. Very narrow window!

[@flowerpower1980]

Rooting for you, Jessie!🥰

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

Rough start. I hope things have smoothed out a bit for you. Looking forward to tomorrow.

[@charliejg]

I recall that you had some emotional times with the cold at the beginning of the AT too. It's completely understandable to miss people and have other things just pile on top of that. All normal! Hope things are better soon.

[@ValkyrieSkyz]

You’re doing so good! 💜

[@jasonjones5213]

Good to see you on trail again, Seems like all the trails still have snow.I know the CDT still does.

[@billbaron6992]

I hope things are going better since you filmed this. Take care.

[@oldwagon-pens]

I hope you're feeling better. I think it would be a lot for anyone doing the traveling to get there and get into the mountains. If you are not from a high altitude area.Safe travels.

[@FrScottHikes]

Silver lining in every cloud. NO BUGS YET,, ✌️

[@shades1959]

Make sure to take in fluids. Sounds like you could be getting dehydrated

[@GrimmJaw496]

lots of snow this year in the north cascades, may want to wait until end of July to start your hike.

[@iblamesummers]

the crying and the blue casio make the vidz. and self-doubt. then you soldier thru and it is another day...

[@soulspacehomestead4941]

The success of your hike will not be measured in miles but rather the number of tears you leave behind along the way…

[@earthboundmartian612]

Lets goooooooooooooo!

[@robertbarnes4]

You have a few busy days. I’m sure in a few days you’ll be fine. One day at a time

[@ethandeane1878]

You did a lot in the past few days! Adjustments are draining

[@PositivelyKyleHikes]

Snow in July. Wish I could see it. :'(

[@aisle9]

Altitude sickness is a bear. Hope it's subsided for you by now. Be well and, like you said, you're gonna do the dang thing!

[@stone8654]

Honeybee.. your body is trying to acclimate to high altitude. And your body is trying to get use to the hiker foods. Add electrolytes to your water. Go 🍯🐝Go!

[@tylerhaney7389]

Drink plenty of extra water! Even when you’re not thirsty! There will probably be more oxygen in the water you drink than there is in the air at your altitude

[@glengullickson6538]

Can't watch anymore. Your panoramas are so fast I am getting dizzy. Good luck.

[@MieudangMiezaimi]

Come Malaysia marry me i love you so much jessy
