[@jamiedietrich3058]

It is always about the journey and the people we share it with, , not the distance or the end point. Thanks for taking us along. Well done Dudley.

[@Campology]

Thanks so much… and I agree!

[@stanleysadventres]

Get well soon Dudley!!

[@Campology]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@skindancer01]

It's rare that I comment here on YT but I have to say just how much I've enjoyed your AT videos, such a laid back informative style really resonated with me. I actually groaned aloud when you made the correct but oh so difficult choice to abandon the trail. I'm an old geezer from the UK who yearns to hike the AT and your diary really spurred me on to have my own adventure, thank you. Hoping yr shoulder recovers and we get to see more oif Dudley on the trail....

[@Campology]

Wow, thank you!

[@WrightLisgar]

Great adventure and sound decision to stop for now. There is always next year. Thanks for documenting it for us. 👏

[@Campology]

My pleasure. And thanks so much

[@MrAlainplouffe]

Your videos were entertaining, more about the trail, the people, and the experience, then about your minute by minute feeling, this was refreshing. I hope you will one day reach Maine and your end goal, if you still wish too. Stay safe and take care of your shoulder.

[@Campology]

Glad you enjoyed them! It was a great ride and hopefully Maine will be in my near future!

[@wendyoutdoors2230]

Great job. Enjoyed your journey. All winners

[@Campology]

WOW… thanks so much.

[@amywilquetswette3386]

I was so excited to view Episode 10. It was so unexpected to hear your news. A good decision, but sad non the less. I was so hoping, as I viewed your hikes that COVID would not creep in, as you were outside most of the time. Hiking is my way of feeling safer and getting out during this pandemic. Please update us and let us know you are well. I so look forward to being a part of your future hikes from Green Bay, Wisconsin! You are so gosh, darn good at planning, hiking and documenting. I envy your strength, positivity and kindness. Take care and continue to inspire!

[@Campology]

Thanks so much. Such kind words picks up the spirits. BTW… I’m 90% recovered from COVID and 80% from shoulder. Life is good!

[@amywilquetswette3386]

So glad to hear your reassuring news!! Wishing you continued healing, good health, and many trails in your future!

[@egm2383]

I have enjoyed your videos. Praying that you recover quickly and looking forward to more from you.

[@Campology]

Thank you so much!

[@jro8503]

Oh shoot. Sorry it’s been cut short. Love your attitude about it all - very inspiring and “big picture”. Take care and recover well.

[@Campology]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@stephenbouchard8075]

Hope you get to finish it next year. Great series of video !

[@Campology]

Thanks so much. ✌️🙏

[@jamesbonney6872]

It’s a month later, I hope you’re feeling better. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure.

[@Campology]

thanks so much James

[@rolfvdbrink]

Thanks for this series! I hope you’re already making plans to return to the AT and GDT.

[@Campology]

I am! 😀

[@brentobenour6847]

Enjoyed your videos and meeting you back near Front Royal, VA during a Trail Magic moment. Sorry to hear the news but I know you’ve hiked enough to know what your body is telling you. Second half next year maybe? - Lucky Boy PS - if you are bored consider an episode that explains how you do all the video editing on the trail.

[@Campology]

Th aka so much “Lucky Boy” …

[@stephen.mcguire]

Well I certainly would love to see you return and continue North if you so choose. Either way thanks so much for your video's and sharing your adventure.

[@Campology]

Thanks so much. 🤞

[@inthinair548]

Well done! Looking forward to your future videos but for now focus on your health and recovery 👍🏕🌿

[@Campology]
