[@jimhumphrey]

I can't believe I'm sitting here with my morning coffee watching Taylor hike the AT again. I think it's real! 🙂

[@kathleentognacci9358]

[@padude131]

[@eaglerare1273]

Exactly 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@walterpaton8698]

Me four...

[@jackwhitehurst964]

I am look forward to watching you do it again !!

[@JoshEbersole]

This is my favorite time of year. Spring is right around the corner and the AT thru hikers are starting their hikes and I can live vicariously through them. Good luck on your thru hike!

[@charliejg]

Congratulations on another start! I actually don't mind the "boring looking" trails. There are lots of little details in the forest to notice. And, if there is some wind, you have the sound of creaking trees. Love that! All the best on this walk in the woods!

[@chuck7812]

Whoo-hoo! Great to watch and follow again. Godspeed!

[@brentsute]

What!!!! I didn’t realize you were hiking AT again. Yes! Can’t wait to follow along. Best wishes!

[@nickruns262]

Excited for you, Taylor! My wife and I found you early on in your last through-hike and amongst all of the many vloggers, have found your videos to be the most enjoyable, educational and real. We plan to do our inaugural hike in 2025 together. Wishing you the best from NE Ohio and nothing but good vibes for your knee!

[@jacer259]

Anxious to follow your journey!

[@colleen2503]

And she’s off!!! I’ll enjoy watching your journey again … from my recliner! 😁 Be safe, have fun!

[@deborahs6978]

I came across your vlog while following a handful of 2023 thru hikers. At first I thought I saw a notification for your first thru-hike, when I realized that you were back at it, thru hiking AGAIN this year I immediately subscribed. LOVE YOUR VLOGS! Thank you for sharing and the very best of luck to you. I will follow you in spirit all the way. YES, NAHAMSHA!!

[@user-David-Alan]

Good luck and smooth trails. Stay well and be safe. Have fun.

[@daviddavis-0U812]

For some reason I really enjoy your name! Have a great day Dave!

[@gratefulhikes]

LFG!!!! Never gets old watching someone start their journey! I may start rewatching 2021 day for day just for fun! Huge thanks to Chet for being so amazing and supportive. The snow has been so great up in NH, maybe there will still be some when you get up here! Thanks for the tour of Hawk mtn tent sites. Seemed like a great spot. 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well. -Grateful

[@chuck7812]

Mr Gardenier, great to see and looking forward to your comments again...hope you are doing well. Another great adventure for Taylor. I'm sure this will be just as great!

[@gratefulhikes]

@@chuck7812 🙏 thank you Chuck! I’m so appreciative to be able to watch these amazing hikes unfold and have the opportunity to drop a positive comment now and again. My miles have been great this year, I hope yours have been as well! All the best to you and yours. Be well 🙏 -Grateful

[@mhe8545]

You have such joy and excitement in you face. So glad to follow you. Being a veteran hiker you can help and boost others on the trail with your great attitude and experience if needed.

[@JasonSnailer]

[@nickhikesinthewoods6150]

[@lovetohikenewengland1748]

Happy Trails!!

[@dennissutton3767]

Awesome….its like i traveled in time….you are going to be very successful

[@agalletly88s]

Hello Taylor -- Sending all best wishes for this your SECOND AT trek. Good for you. Although I've never hiked the AT, I have bicycled cross-USA (first time in 1993, second time 1999) ... loved every minute of it ... both times. And I'm sure you'll be loving every minute of this, your second time around. Looking forward to following your posts ... again! So here's to a safe and fun-filled adventure. Be well ... and please know you have loads of people praying for your safety and looking forward to your daily reports. Cheers and hugs from Jan and Al Galletly (Ridgefield, CT).

[@lynnepaulocsak122]

I'm so excited for you!

[@Jimmie2429]

Whew! Dunks iced coffee. I was worried. Solid start. Good luck and safe travels.

[@angelalawson9233]

Ironically, I believe it was three years ago today I was at work watching your videos while everyone else was glued to the news about Covid! So excited to watch your journey again! ❤

[@robertcamara7300]

Can not wait to follow your adventure again! Literally one of the nicest people on you tube! Safe travels and happy trails!!

[@baskets8429]

Awesome!!!! Looks great on trail no rain !!! Enjoy it , will be watching

[@kenmachine9951]

Thank you I'm so happy for you 👍❤️💖. Be safe and have a wonderful time.Ken NC

[@shaneomack5018]

Love Amicalola Falls.. been there a dozen times. Definitely watching every episode friend

[@craighudson4449]

Outstanding

[@jessokanyapatel6338]

Love seeing you filter water, putting rain jacket on etc….it’s so relatable and actually shows me what you need to do on the trail.

[@joolds-ruppel1846]

Enjoy! The new visitor center is amazing!

[@julisowiedermonat3560]

The algorithm just threw this at me and I’m so glad! I’d been following you along your whole thru hike in 2021. I had read a book about the trail back in 2017 and thought it would be a cool thing to hike it, but only when I watched your journey I was sure I was gonna do it. Since then I’ve been planning and I’m finally going to hike it next year. Thank you so much for inspiring me and happy trails again!!♥️

[@david.conley]

Taylor, glad to see you on the trail again. I learned so much from you on the first trip. Thanks for allowing us to tag along. ONWARD!!

[@crittersgrove]

Dang I gotta go to work but baskets and I will put on tv tonight when I get home. Cannot wait to follow. We are very excited for you.

[@NickEDowning]

And so it begins. It is so exciting to see how this year differs from your last two.

[@missysmith7995]

So excited to watch your second journey!

[@ALORDW]

Just watched your video about knee pain. Voltaren (diclofenac) is a topical gel that helps my arthritic knees. Comes in small travel size tubes. Just a thought in case the knee issue flares up. It might be an alternative instead of taking oral meds. Cheering you on and have great confidence you'll be in Maine before you know it!!

[@melindaadams6520]

I'm so looking forward to following you on the AT this year.

[@1024Pete]

SNICKERS!!! My go to meal

[@frankopena9921]

I'm so excited for you! You go girl! I'll be watching every day!

[@AllensAdventures]

And you’re off! LG!

[@papa-paul-uk]

Great to see you back out there:) I had 2 starts in 2022 ( not prepared) and had Achilles problem and had to return to the U.K. training a lot now and starting again at springer in Feb 2024🤞 stay safe, have fun ;)

[@BobSmith-kk7lx]

Great series of the entire trail! I am planning to start where you did this spring with no hard goal in mind and see how far I can make it as a first timer.

[@albertborgman859]

About a mile after Springer Mountain is a crossing point full of vehicles and the Ranger. For some reason many hikers start there. At My Katadin the start point seems to be the commercial campground about ten miles after the Rangers. One hiker even left the shuttle in the town before Katadin and walked along the roads to the campsite. Skippers.

[@edgit69]

Just found your channel. Starting with this video gonna play catch up to the others. Best if luck 🎉

[@shereewaddell3417]

Happy trails🎉

[@johnalden5821]

Looks like a really good first day on trail. I wasn't sure I was going to follow any thru-hikers this year, but I have been following this channel for three years, and I still have a lot to learn, so I am up for seeing the adventure unfold. Best of luck and godspeed to you, Taylor.

[@lawman7117]

Taylor, I just discovered you, but you're an instant inspiration for me! My family and I did the steps and the approach trail today, and we met at least a dozen more duos and solos starting today. Keep it up! I'll keep watching you all the way to Kathadin!

[@matthewthomas6252]

So glad to have these videos to watch again! Thank you for sharing!

[@maubeecat2910]

Wishing you a most wonderful hike! Thanks for letting us come along!

[@maubeecat2910]

Taylor, this is spam right? Should I block or report?

[@RickINFJ]

Blessings to your husband for his support. Ahoy from Maine. ✌️ It's great to see you doing what you love.

[@blpwood3648]

My son, Cheese Curd, was a few days behind you in 2021, and I followed you then. I'm thrilled to have learned you are doing it again and will live vicariously through you. Thanks for posting, and I wish you the best!

[@FloridaMan213]

Gotta be one of the nicest and financially stable husbands in the world! LOL! Enjoy the content!

[@susieuramoto7491]

Taylor! Way to go. Your video is posted virtually real time. How in the world do you do this? ! Love being a part of your journey 💕

[@dandavenport4565]

Just started watching your journey. Kinda makes one wish to be on the trail as well. Not sure I could crush it 20 miles a day like you

[@scottstaats7408]

You're an ole pro at this...hike, vid, etc. My bro and I hiked entire Trail many yrs ago so I look forward to you bringing back lots of good memories...

[@candywalters8388]

[@stephenodonovan4168]

Thanks for sharing and best of luck on Round 2! Can't wait to watch this journey (again :) ).

[@chasing-the-afterglow]

So excited to watch you again!! I found you when I was researching my Virginia section hike of 2022 ....you were about 3/4 finished when I started watching. So I would watch a new post, then go back and catch up with a few older posts. You helped me plan my trip 😀. This time around, I appreciate all of the extra information you are giving us....great job and good luck. One day I hope to thru hike the entire AT, and I will definitely be better off by watching your journey.

[@OakleyOriginals]

Your detailed experience is both helpful and appreciated. How exciting for you to start another long hike!!! I'll be following you along the way- thank you for sharing!

[@sablerubycocoa]

Congratulations on starting your through hike of your well loved AT. Looking forward to following you again!!!

[@cameraman763]

Best of luck on the AT. I do enjoy seeing the camping aspects of setting up and cooking etc. mixed in the videos. Many leave that out, but it helps us understand what you have to do. Thanks!

[@PapaSmurfGames]

Awesome to watch you attempt again!!! I did 300+ in 2021, before having to leave the trail, and can't wait to attempt again. Good luck, I'll be watching along!

[@patriciamanfredo6019]

So excited to see you on the trail. I will be following you! Have a happy hike!
