My Dunks Coffee Powered Me 22 Miles Through The Brutal Heat (Carlisle to Duncannon) | AT Thru-Hike

[@Sourpatchgarden]

Taylor, I’m a mom in my 40s and have been watching you every day since the beginning of your 2023 thru hike. I found your last thru hike videos a few months ago and enjoyed seeing you and Cody. I’ve been in a slump since my Dad passed away suddenly in 2020 and your positivity, determination and optimistic attitude inspired me to get up early every am to try to run again. I’m not yet where I was years ago but I already feel so much better mentally. Thank you for sharing your inspiring journey with us! With gratitude from another Dunkin’’ fan in MA ☕️🏃‍♀️🥰

[@leedanielson7452]

That’s a very nice comment. Enjoyed it….😊

[@Sourpatchgarden]

@@leedanielson7452 thank you so much, Lee!

[@frolege1]

$4 … sorry for your lost and happy that Taylor had a positive influence on your life. She’s a wonderful young lady to follow. Glad you’re running again. Running is a wonderful stress reliever. I do it to relax and to reflect. Hiking is also a wonderful way to get out in nature to do the same. I’m sure, your dad was a wonderful father and hope the running/hiking is a great way to reflect on the wonderful times you shared with him.

[@justinweldon9293]

Sorry for your loss. Keep up the good work! 💪

[@laineym2005]

Every time I watch a Taylor video, I feel better afterward. I'm glad she has been helpful to you - I don't think she will ever realize how much positivity she has given to all of us.

[@ln4535]

You got my name right! Glad you enjoyed the Dunks and glad it came in handy! I did 16.8 miles in the heat that day and know how you felt! - Terminal Lance

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

Yesss! Thanks again! Happy trails 👣

[@cwesley2005]

Taylah, you got my 8 year old son into hiking. We love our hikes together and we always watch your channel. You ahh wicked awesome!

[@cmargheimable]

Always inspiring. This video reminds me that discomfort is temporary on trail. Powering through leads to good things!

[@trainboy45]

You can never go wrong with Dunks, especially on the trail! As someone who also gets bad headaches; I know the feeling; I'm glad it went away quickly and you were able to keep crushing the miles! :)

[@LisaDux]

Hi. I'm vicariously living through you. I've hiked and backpacked the AT through the smokies, shenandoah. and harper's ferry. I was in my early 20s and was running half marathons too. Keep moving throughout your life. You're a brave backpacking warrior i can see, so you'll probably be as stubborn as i was at your age. I wish you luck, and perhaps I'll meet you on some trail in a few months, after i recover from knee surgery. By the way, I'll be 70 in the fall. I totally plan to do some kind of AT hiking after i get back into shape. You are inspiring me. Thank you. PS. You are so brave. The wild hogs and bear used to keep me up at night. Good for you.

[@Randy-v8d]

Awesome

[@Mebrucker]

Thanks for your nice Nahamsha store in Gilford and Kathy! Get some Dunks for a few days!

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

Thank you so much, Matt!!! I'll enjoy so much Dunks!! ☕️ 😃 I really appreciate it!

[@kathleentognacci9358]

So nice to meet you at Nahamsha Gifts yesterday!!

[@qsbroom]

Hey! That's the first porcupine that I have seen on the trail...nice! Thanks for th3 vlog

[@katebender4745]

I know you love your dunks, but anyone else staying at that same hotel on route 11, you should go to the Middlesex diner that's right next to it! Best diner in the Carlisle area! I've seen a few hikers there before. Also the Darlington shelter past the overlook is the first place I ever back packed. Great privy! Good luck on the rest of PA 😊

[@TXMEDRGR]

I'm glad you are protecting your skin; I once heard a dermatologist say sunscreen is the elixir of youth. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

[@andrewwiist1003]

It is so fun to watch her hike though the Harrisburg area where I live. Stay safe!

[@Jimmie2429]

Dunks! I’ll be heading there shortly myself.

[@andrewjudd1573]

Good morning! I did Trail Magic in Port Clinton and Wind Gap yesterday on my way home from PA. Met a bunch of great thru hikers. Thought we might cross paths. I enjoy the videos. I'll have magic again on the NY/CT border in a week. Safe travels! Snowman ⛄️ 2019 Thru Hiker

[@ffstopP]

Another wonderful video. It tells a story. You're making great progress and keeping a good attitude. I'm with you to the end. Walk on.

[@deborahchadwick210]

"There is a Dunks nearby...thats a possibility!!!" Good Monday morning in real time. Hoping the Advil , etc, helped that ice cream challenge. Yay for the protein from DD.

[@lazardox8769]

Hi there! I'm a 24 year old man, so idk if I'm necessarily your target demographic lol, but you've kinda inspired me to start hiking in my area ngl. Now I need to get gear and make sure I'm prepared >.< I feel it'd be so nice just to be outside seeing nature while performing a much needed level of exercise in my sedentary life. Thank you for making content on here!

[@dfizzle323]

Taylor youre the best!! 🌅

[@edwardgwilcoxjr7232]

The Adventure is on!

[@mikemoore4016]

😊 awesome again

[@stillwaterhiker]

Hay Taylor. Stay hydrated. Good luck.

[@brewerm1718]

I'm amazed by your speed! I hiked the Morgan Percival loop yesterday and it was only 6 miles and it took me close to 5 hours. You make me wonder about how fast I could get if I hiked the AT everyday. But I don't think I'd ever be able to hike 20+ miles a day... anyway! All that to say congrats and safe hiking!! 🎉😊

[@frolege1]

22 miles - another knock out day of hiking - great job Taylor.

[@amniealdred827]

Hi Tailor, I watched you and Stella every day and I hope you two hook up soon your not that far behind her..I'm from Massachusetts and hike NH , and looking forward to going to your store ..I'm hoping to catch you live I have questions on sleep systems, I will be attempting the At ...next year class of 2024..enjoy the rest of your journey and stay safe sincerely Annie

[@charliejg]

The huge truck stop in Carlisle is really good. Carlisle is well know for it's car events at the fairgrounds. Have a great Pennsylvania hike!

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video with lots of good beautiful views 😅, so let's keep on hiking 😊

[@debsmith7050]

We already know your mom visit was the best! Peppermint oil might keep the bugs away...

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and journey.

[@spencershaw4419]

Try drinking half of your Gatorade bottle and then put water into the other half to keep it going. Happy hiking!

[@katfish000]

Glad you hydrated back to hike. Have fun. Enjoying your treck .

[@phucyouse5316]

That areas vistas remind me of Norman Rockwell paintings particularly one that overlooks the Susquehanna river and railroad, good luck, I don't know how KZbin's algorithm introduced me to your vlog but I appreciate your documenting brings back a lot of memories

[@robvettori9636]

Hey Taylor -- Love your videos! Have you tried wrapping your laundry in a towel (jelly roll cake style) and stepping on the towel for drying? Game changer for me. Haven't had problems with drying clothes since. Even for the Smartwool socks. Happy hiking 🙂

[@PaulsWanderings]

Great shot of the Heron or Crane. I am never fast enough to catch one in flight.

[@deborahchadwick210]

Peppermint oil..rub in hands and lightly rub on hair, face. I use above 5k' in Smokies and western NC hiking..really works for me and I don't have deet on my head.

[@kenmachine9951]

❤ Hey Taylor 😎 love your thru hike ❤❤❤ Ken NC

[@Elizabeth-pt4bv]

Another awesome day started with my fav too, Dunks. When you said your order, im like, yup , wr could be friends . Lol. I think your the first, of those im watching, to walk thru Duncannon. Staying in Carlisle was a great decision for conveniences. Wrll done, thanks for posting.

[@frolege1]

1:18 you look fantastic and ready to take the day on

[@markcummings6856]

I much prefer the “Badass” look at 4:55.

[@RDadmaine]

I was actually in Mechanicsburg PA last month, just up the road from Carlisle. I guess I never realized the AT was so close.

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

even with rocks over 20 miles, 🌻👣

[@bigzoo55]

I stayed at the same Quality Inn last year for three days! I had to visit the ER in Carlisle due to cellulitis (first time!). The Middlesex diner next door was great! Keep on cruising!

[@chspade81]

Safe travels from Liverpool Pa. We are just above Duncannon or across the river from Millersburg PA

[@trailfleamlangdon2260]

It seams like the descent into Duncan was a step one? Have a great hike,, Trail Flea,,

[@hdbinnc8583]

Sounds like your planning is spot on! Good idea to keep your eyes open for the little nasties along your way 😊. Keep charging!

[@johnsandell4501]

Enjoy time with your mom.

[@PedroNord]

[@frolege1]

Best line of video “and 2 glaze donuts”

[@alfredmcgillis1126]

I watched a video about water filter maintenance and backflushing your filter from time to time will make it last 10 plus years.

[@ALORDW]

Porcupine!! Admire from a far! Migraines are the worst. You are a champ to get through them so well.

[@curtismccorkel6985]

Cool

[@chspade81]

If you have Allergy issue's, this year is really bad in Central PA

[@hitherehi135]

Taylor, maybe you could filter the sink water to improve the taste?

[@davem4193]

Sugar and artificial sweeteners were my primary cause of migraines. Once I got those out of my life my migraines went away.

[@chspade81]

Lemongrass essential oil helps with keeping the bugs away as well as peppermint oil as a deterrent for fleas, mice, moths,flies, and more. It is also great for sprained muscles, headaches, and more. Just need a carrier oil if used on your skin. Olive oil, grapeseed oil, and coconut oil are good ones. I personally prefer grapeseed oil. Plenty little places along your travel that sell those products. Premade or diy.

[@chspade81]

And local honey helps with pollen allergies

[@nerdalert8501]

Love your videos, still happy with your bag choice? 🎉

[@ElizBRUSA]

Don’t forget to stop buy at Lou’s Bakery in Hanover!

[@donald2818]

Keep walking through Duncannon, don't even look back.

[@michaelsorrentino3346]

Can you hear review the ZPacks “Zip Around” for warmer nights?

[@Randee04]

Have you tried Earthkind’s “Stay Away Mosquitoes” which is unscented skin friendly spray? Picaridin

[@jeffreyla74]

My dog's name is Duncan. I just noticed he keeps looking at me every time you say his name lol

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

Love it!

[@PurenonsenseLove]

I live in the area. Im hoping you enjoy PA

[@jeffboyer4204]

Where did your cool macho man Randy savage sunglasses go?

[@John572d4]

Dun-cannon is like Dun-kin’, but is there one there…

[@nickeastridge316]

Thanks! Money for the Dunkin fund attached.

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

Yessss, thanks!

[@jeffboyer4204]

You just came up with a new slogan for Dunkin’ Donuts which sticks with their DD. It’s a Dunkin day.

[@Bohonk212]

Ain't 'brutal' til it's high 90s.

[@markcummings6856]

Come on, you left us hanging.😢 You didn’t mention how long the new filter took.

[@Karen-dq8nw]

Yikes, what is that sign at 7:34 about some critter biting?!

[@CarrieJamrogowicz]

It’s an ad for a bait company.

[@walkerpercy8702]

Nice video as always. Maybe Dunks could be a sponsor? ... or maybe they already are but don't want to be formerly introduced as a sponsor.

[@WorldWideWub]

Porcupine!!!

[@itsaconspiracydude]

Who else is looking for the "like" button before she even begins to speak 🙂 ??

[@candywalters8388]

Should we get Dunkin to sponsor you Taylor? I know someone maybe.

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

That would be a dream

[@RickINFJ]

Glad you didn't get a migraine. Dunks is good for what ails ya. ✌️

[@bmwman63]

Not an expert on migraines . My headaches come in sailor variety ie drinking cheap tequila, Normally water helps mine, Agree with you, maybe yours might be related to a sugar high. Anyway, I wish you good lock. Headaches suck for sure.

[@ericcomp7032]

Kind of Outdoorsy 🖐

[@dannyburns1900]

Do you have Venmo, Cash app or something like that to donate to?

[@brookecampilongo3962]

I think you need to switch out your sunshirt. You are drenched all the time. There has to be a better product.

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

The sun shirt is my favorite!

[@TheJhtlag]

you gotta do it though.

[@catblue6393]

🚶‍♀️👍🏻🙂

[@bradb712]

I mean who likes hotel sink water? Good move.

[@davidschurman7683]

Eat some fruits and vegetables!!!

[@frolege1]

First Holmes

[@christinamurray3176]

3:18 I sometimes ask for a lg ice water at dunks, they usually charge me the price of a munchkin or something but it does the trick when I don’t have my Nalgene and don’t want to spend money on a smart water bottle! Sending 🤍 from NH!

[@leedanielson7452]

Starting my day with 12 minutes of Taylor is awesome! Thanks Kiddo!❤️👍🙏🏻🏕️🐻⛰️
