Hi Red Beard. Thank you for the videos. I'm planning a first section hike from Springer Mt. to Neels Gap. I only have a couple days off (hope I can make the whole way over many years). Question: It seems it took you four days to make this trek. I may have read that wrong. Forgive me if so. Anyway, according to the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club, this is 30.5 miles. I know you hiked strong, but why did it take so long? Yes, there are mountains I know. I'm in good shape and thinking I'd make 15 miles a day. That may be unrealistic. But certainly I can do 10 a day, no? I know you are not able to respond to all the messages so I put the question out there to other experienced ATers who are reading this.

Charles Boisseau We started at the start of the approach trail. That adds 8.8 miles to the 31.7 to Neels Gap. We did 11.6, 13, 8.5, 7.4 on each day. My hiking buddy had knee problems and it was the start of a 2,000 mile thru so most hikers start off at 8-14 miles per day. Lots of ups and downs but you shouldn't have a problem doing 15 a day.

I want to do this but, how did you get so long off from work?! Awesome job. how did you work out a ride home after you finished the trail?

Usually people do this between big changes in their lives, for example between careers, between college and starting your career life, etc.

Hey thanks for the cool video I subscribed ! Question ! How is the trail terrain ? Like for instance. I hiked Mt. Marcy its only 14.5 miles, but it took me a good 8 hours ! Im trying to find out if 15 miles a day on the Appalachian is about average or just taking your time. If its anything like Marcy, I dont know if I can do 15 mile 8 hour days I would be dead in a week!! So Im just asking because a lot of people say 15 miles + a day just want to know how many hours of actually walking that would take. I hope that made sense lol I hope to hear from you soon ! -Peace

15 miles a day would be tough every day in Georgia terrain. No way is it "taking your time"

Hey Read Beard, thanks for this video! Quick question, did you record this with a GoPro, and if you did, what mount did you use? Also, did you (assuming not) use the wind shield foam accessory? Anyway, I'm looking at my camera options, so I appreciate any info you can share! Thanks again for the great video!

I do not use go pros. Sony action cameras are better. Sony HDR-AS100V is the one I use. I only use the stickpic. Google it. The rest of the shots I shoot just holding the camera. The stability is incredible

+Will “Red Beard” Wood omg, excellent quick reply! Thank you so much! I work at REI, and since we focus on the GoPros, sorry for assuming. I'm so impressed with your shots, I'll definitely look into your set up. I love LOVE your video. Thanks so much!
