Back to Trail After My Reset at Home (Smarts & Cube Mountains) | Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike 2023

[@ALONE_IN_THE_DARKNESS1107]

I respect you so much for you actually talk about mental health because it is very important. And your an amazing person for just doing the AT. Twice luv your videos

[@barndoorhostel365]

Hope you enjoyed your stay with us! It was great seeing you again. Safe hiking. Dianne

[@tcb9854]

Cancer patient here from Ga. You're such an inspiration!!! Hope to make it back up Blood mountain some day.

[@dandavenport4565]

Really impressed that you manage to stay so focused on the trail. While you were home, you seemed so joyful and exuberant with all the comforts of being there. It would’ve been so easy to take your focus away from hiking.

[@lisamiller2038]

Watching you gives me a new respect for the hikers who can't go home or have family visits on trail or get off the trail as often as you do. It really is more mental than physical.

[@JA53705]

Or slack pack too

[@Ladythyme]

Absolutely! Much respect & Hail to those who struggle through each step of the way.

[@paulalee9324]

You are a different person after your zero days. I applaud your self care and going at your own pace.

[@razzbazle1582]

Privileged AF

[@astara5802]

Body follows mind. It‘s only and always a mental thing.

[@Stay_Loose407]

Now I see where you got them good looks.

[@julainenelson4204]

You are fortunate to be able to be so close to family and home

[@johnnyringo3171]

Knowing when to take a break, regroup and recharge is a critical skill - and you more than deserved the break!

[@walterpaton8698]

In North Conway for the weekend. Wish I could of met you. I pray I am on the trail March of 2024. Sending prayers and hugs to you.

[@stevematosky1086]

Glad to see the break helped, slack packing is always a nice break!

[@RAFTHELSAVLOGS]

Wow amazing beauty of the nature

[@kathyhunt4989]

Glad you got the needed break. Now march on to the end!😍

[@qsbroom]

Taylor, There is nothing quite like getting out on a boat on a beautiful lake..it clears the cobwebs and heals the soul! I am sure that along with getting your eye better, some real food, and resting in your own bed out of the rain was just what the doctor ordered! You are ready for the notch and the whites!

[@NA-yx5kz]

You got this! Don’t give up!💪🏻

[@diurnalreign]

You looking great, I am glad you are back

[@robinfinehout1160]

Another hiker had a picture of you and told his viewers he met the famous Nahamsha hiker who was back on trail after a couple of zeros. Glad you’re back!

[@sheilaturner5127]

So glad you’re back and doing better! Taking a break was a great idea! You do it your way!

[@toddjacobs9646]

A great example of self-care. Like a coach taking a player off the field for a breather - in this case it’s great to see this example of self-awareness to do it yourself. Amazing what a few days of new perspective will do. Nice work.

[@kaiserwilhelmnh932]

If you feel nervous sitting alone on the side of the road try going back into the woods a little bit. This will allow you to keep your eye on the parking lot and people driving by won't see you.

[@RedStickLouisiana]

Your renewed energy really came through in this video. It's great to see you so happy, thanks for sharing.

[@all-to-Him-I-owe100]

I love your Mom! She is such a good mama! ❤😊

[@PatriceMarieDobson]

God speed!!....May the Force be with You!!🫶🏻🖖

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Wow...glad your back on trail. So very glad you are feeling better. Thankful.

[@Nleary77]

You are such an inspiration for many ! So great seeing you in your element today !❤

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

The break refreshed you. Your family is awesome. So glad you are in a better head space👣🌻

[@karemlore]

You look in a much better mental state, I am stoked for you. You seem much happier and I am happy for you. Good luck, stay safe...and your family support is awesome.

[@MJG70]

you have an awesome, supportive family!

[@davidshirley6850]

Great recovery, im sure your family and you are proud of yourself for continuing your journey after a very short break

[@brianc1651]

Have you tried the LL Bean Stowaway Pack? Very packable, pretty light and decently comfortable for a day pack.

[@MJG70]

IN NH, like MN where i live, summer is limited and you have to get out there and enjoy the summer while you can. I mean basically, IN MN, we have May, June, July and August, Mid sept.

[@sambeaux69]

My son and I will be on Franconia Ridge on Saturday. Probably just going to miss you by a few days.

[@royconnell2506]

Glad to see you feeling better 👍👍👍. Be safe.

[@kyridgejumper]

Glad to see the reality of the feelings and emotions that people go through here on this channel. Glad you’re doing a lot better after a couple days off and have your smile back Good luck and thanks for sharing all your experiences

[@RickINFJ]

Nice reset! Taylor is back and going after The Whites. 💪 Awesome to see you in the heart of your stomping grounds. Rest well ✌️

[@judithcoe7551]

Good morning Taylor, I'm glad see you looking so rested and refreshed! Be good to yourself!❤🎉😊

[@nat.in.nature]

So great to see you smiling and feeling better!

[@katfish000]

Wow big turnaround in mood. I'm glad to see you happy. 😊

[@luckyotter623]

Glad to see you back on trail! Sometimes you just need a rest and reset. Thank you for being so raw and real.

[@cwesley2005]

Taylah, so great to see you back on trail! U are a freakin champ!!!

[@corbinfauntleroy382]

Not having any zeros is not a good idea because you can get burnout. You need to stop periodically and recharge. Glad to see you back on trail.

[@BoulderCreek77]

So glad your spirits are up! Keep crushing that trail and have a blast 😃👍🏻

[@richardouellette8785]

So happy to see you back on the AT and in New Hampshire which I know so well. I followed your 2021 and now 2023 hikes. It will be good to see familiar places on your remaining hike. I am a member of the Hundred Highest Club of New England so have done many of your subsequent miles. You needed a break and needed to heal your feet. . Now you are revitalized and have a second wind.

[@josephburns6591]

Happy you are feeling better, great to see you back!

[@chucklivinlarge563]

Glad you are back! Rock on!😊

[@TryingTheHardHikeATAdrieWashne]

Glad you are better! 🎉🎉🎉 Hello, you were tired and it happens to everyone!

[@emmmmmuhh]

you are incredible taylor!!!

[@leah492]

Go Taylor! 🥳

[@dirtydingus5465]

Great to see you back in the saddle! Lookin fresh! ☮

[@jimhenderson387]

It's nice to see you happy again. Yay!

[@kimmyerson8375]

Thx for keeping it real, and talking about making mental health a priority. It takes more courage to “get off trail” than to stay and slug it out. ❤

[@1z1zmike]

Glad to see you back and happy…it pays to honor your body and mind!🙏🙂

[@bobburton5612]

Great to see you back on trail. Welcome back to NH! You've got this and with all the rain I can see getting bummed out on trail..

[@EdwardsOutdoorAdventures]

I understand the being down on a long outing (yesterday’s video) and just how quickly one can recover. Glad to see you smiling again.

[@kellycyr7038]

Really glad the break was so good for you, its good to see you refreshed on trail. Can't wait to see you do the Whites again!

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video with some good views, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@carolleslie9312]

Good to see how well those needed zeros helped you bounce back!!

[@hdbinnc8583]

It’s amazing hearing the difference in your voice after a couple days rest. You’re really kicking it! Mental health is a big deal. Thanks for addressing it. Keep charging!

[@kenmachine9951]

🎉🎉🎉🎉 you are doing great ❤ Ken NC 🎉🎉🎉

[@chbrun34]

[@brendamartin6022]

So glad you're feeling better Taylor, and so happy to see you back on the trail. I'm so glad you took the days off to reset. I hope you have a wonderful rest of the way! 🙂💕

[@padude131]

This is the Taylor we all know. You definitely needed those few days off trail. You look very happy and rejuvenated!! Happy trails!

[@debbymarks9490]

So happy to see you back on trail & feeling healthy physically & mentally 😊

[@denisemoore1069]

Glad to see you are feeling better. We all need a break sometimes. Stay safe.

[@deborahchadwick210]

Good morning, Taylor!! It is good to see you back.

[@suzanglazer3091]

Good Morning Taylor, Bravo for you! Happy Trails🌞

[@mikebeatty7522]

I am glad you are in good spirits, Taylor

[@zakkmiller8242]

Stoked to see your spirits back up. Excited to see you celebrating ontop of that peak!!

[@Mskarin03]

So glad to see you recharged. Hope your feet have also recovered. Safe hike.

[@beck57]

Welcome back Taylor!!! Great to see you and that sme! Enjoy your journey!!! You got this!

[@meghanjones185]

Woo-Hoo! Back in the saddle, Nahamsha! 👏🥾🥾🎒That was a huge turn-around from how low & injured you were. You're a STRONG human. 🔆 Home + Family = Good Medicine. 🙏❤💫

[@galaxyeyes420]

I'm really happy you're back on trail. Positive vibes ✨️

[@carolynclark9005]

I am glad you're feeling better and you're back on the trail. I went hiking today and I thought I was going to die and I only went 2 miles. It amazes me that you go 20+ miles a day. Stay safe and thank you for bringing us along on your journey

[@JoellynF]

I love that little backpack! I’ve had one for about five years and it’s perfect as a clothing bag on thru hikes. I use it for runs into town and slack packing. It’s totally worth the little bit of weight.

[@barker316]

good luck!glad youre feeling better-stay safe

[@rebeccarossi4012]

So happy to see you go back!! Enjoy your hike - Best thing I ever did was thru hike in 2000 and 2003 - think of it daily and one day will return to the trail - I love your videos !! Sidetrack

[@lisasaliga8862]

Taylor, I'm glad that you had a chance to refresh. Keep powering through, it's just a mental game at this point in your trek. We've got your six :).

[@denisebrown2940]

Good to see you back. The views are amazing. I am glad you take your mental health seriously. It helps in every aspect of life. Wow, those elevations are crazy. Happy hiking.

[@jbhowell]

Glad you recovered and had a good day.

[@billevans9231]

Think that the problem is this yime your doing it alone? Cody being around last time made it easier.

[@leedanielson7452]

Yes! 😊

[@wendypelaez9305]

Good to see you better and I’m with you all of the way!!

[@zakkmiller8242]

Podcast recommendation, its my new fav backpacking podcast. Its called "Backpacking and Blisters Podcast" and the 2 hosts are absolutely hilarious. They have me howling laughing every episode. You would be a great guest on their show too!

[@lukeholmes7511]

ooh, you just passed my hometown! I'm from Hanover.

[@janelleabbott6245]

Heck yeah Taylor!!

[@sadotter1]

Good for you, that is exactly what I said. Nature is meant to be a way to relax and feel reinvigorated, so that our daily stressful lives don't become overwhelming. If being in nature becomes a chore then it's not doing what's supposed to. Enjoy it and take your time checking the animals, the plants, the forests you come across and so on.

[@rachescakes]

I’m glad it was a good day! I love the purple nails. 💅🏻

[@adamrattiner4651]

When to have Ben and Jerry’s near Vermont where it’s from!!

[@nazz729]

turn around from a few days ago is incredible, way to go Taylor you got this!

[@johnsandell4501]

Great recharge!!! Enjoy your remaining Nobo miles. Smiling all the way. 👍👍👍

[@AppalachianAdventures8556]

You put a lot of pressure on yourself to beat your previous time.Hence the breakdown. It's not a big deal to not beat your time. The fact that you have the monetary resources and time to hike the AT TWICE regardless of when you finish is envied by many I'm sure.

[@debsmith7050]

Tommy Lister had you at the Whites one day ago - hope you are still doing well....we have no idea how far ahead you are hiking - by design :) Continue to be safe. Seems you are on track. I wish you all the best.

[@Ladythyme]

Happy for you that you found your way back. There apparently is a need in you to take these steps once again no matter what path you need to take to get there. Good luck ….

[@ethelip5239]

Day 99, no? Anyway, a triumphant return for the home stretch!

[@dawnelaurel]

Hey! Welcome back to the trail however had you decided to keep off the trail, it would have been okay too. What is important is your well-being. 😊

[@christine_penn]

Glad to see you in better spirits! The rest days paid off/were a really good thing; glad you did them!

[@chrissaunders8284]

Good to see you're back and in good spirits. Thank you for sharing.
