[@nanabd]

The icicles pushing upward is called Hoar Ice. Your videos are very enjoyable. Thank YOU for taking us along Happy trails 👣

[@ISuckatHiking]

Thanks for that!

[@roberttrough6439]

🐾 Leo has nice shoes. What kind are they? Leo is not going to let you stop hiking. 🐾 Just follow Leo he seems to know the way! 🐾

[@ISuckatHiking]

Leo always knows the way. I can't remember what the name of the company I got the shoe covers from.

[@rlt78]

We haven’t missed a video yet, and you’re our #1 2024 hiker to follow.

[@ISuckatHiking]

Thanks that fuels me

[@markwalker4485]

Same here. Out of all the people this year on the AT this year I have all my coin on Mike. He appears to be realistic and mentally ready to follow through with his adventure. And he has Leo! Never underestimate the psychological power of a wife or loved one sending you a fill up box and a hand written letter… but to have a living breathing puppy with you is so much more powerful. I wish I would have taken my little puppy

[@kristentheologus-KTechnogal]

Leo stylin' in his booties 😊 Going to miss Leo if he has to sit out the Smokies 😕

[@ISuckatHiking]

Yea it's coming

[@chipcurley631]

I think Leo is hiking about 30-50% more than you are, with all the doubling back he does to make sure you are ok!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

I thought of that… lol I also wondered about him needing tea calories , keeping him with enough food. Maybe when in town he gets sone eggs or supplements real protein food. He’s burning a lot of calories for sure

[@ms6801]

I was curious on how many calories Leo would need a day? Leo is hammering out the extra miles. Leo’s dad is not doing bad either…😂😂😂

[@ISuckatHiking]

He is always

[@zenkathikes]

I've decided I need a Leo in my life! Thank you for another great video. Keep trekking!

[@drewmonster6435]

I had the exact same thought while watching this video.

[@abigailjames7989]

Love the frost flowers at 3:18. Leo looks good in his shoes - so glad that he likes them. Don't worry about responding, it's just cool sharing your trip with you and the other followers and we've got a long way to go.

[@ISuckatHiking]

😊 thank you

[@ChopperOutdoors]

I ate at the same breakfast spot and stayed at the same hotel when I did one of my section hikes.

[@ISuckatHiking]

Nice

[@janeslota4694]

Love the experience you are sharing with us. Great to see such a well cared for, well trained got out there with you.

[@ISuckatHiking]

Thank you so much!

[@jessicapayne8622]

Put a cheap fit bit watch thing on Leo. See who does the most steps!!

[@ISuckatHiking]

He does easy

[@jessicapayne8622]

@@ISuckatHiking bet he loves the freedom. The smells, the peace and quiet, the food, the love from the other people!! Mmmmmm. People have treats!!! X

[@nasos_zovoilis]

Your hiking journey is a testament to the beauty and tranquility found in the great outdoors. Reminds me of the peace I found during my recent mountain excursion.Also I m thinking of buying this backpack. They say its super light. Liked and subscribed!

[@ISuckatHiking]

Thanks

[@traceythompson2595]

We call those icicles pushing up Rime Frost. Definitely cold when that happens! Your views have been spectacular!

[@ISuckatHiking]

Yes! Thank you!

[@coachjeff493]

Thank you brother for taking us along for the ride ..... We are simply loving the hike..... Keep on trucking and give Leo a pat for us.

[@ISuckatHiking]

You bet

[@tkemp4184]

A bit of a tidbit. The ice pushing up out of the ground is called "hoar frost" an interesting phenomenon

[@ISuckatHiking]

Interesting

[@sheilahenry7279]

Ty. I saw it on another hikers video & she described it as looking like grass.

[@robinodowd458]

I sat in my car to eat my lunch today and thoroughly enjoyed watching this video

[@ISuckatHiking]

Glad you enjoyed

[@Schwaptastic612]

Loving your content. You’re the first one I’ve mini-binge watched, and probably going to be the only person I follow here. Maybe because my hiking style is similar. Anyway, looking forward to the next one : )

[@ISuckatHiking]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@sticktheeagle]

Yes!! I just did the Wayah bald and it was a hard climb!! I also like slow and steady on the uphills. The only thing I will stop for is a quick water break.

[@ISuckatHiking]

Great job buddy! Keep it up

[@jeanniemiller3274]

I'm glad Leo likes his shoes! We met a couple this past Sunday on their way to Maine with their cat Fenn.

[@janmariolle]

Looking good! ❤

[@ISuckatHiking]

Nice

[@TonyaPackard-tv9dh]

Love watching you and Leo hiking. Can I ask what kind of booties he has. My doodle has not had luck with the ones I tried. I would love a good brand to try. Keep up the great work. ❤

[@zachbarber]

This make two of us

[@ISuckatHiking]

I can't remember right now

[@michaelmowry1829]

We have followed you and Leo from start...both mike and barbara from City Church...you both make a great team and first class videos....be safe...

[@ISuckatHiking]

[@tammymcdowell9469]

You're welcome .

[@chillwill9254]

I’m pretty sure I camped in that exact spot last year! You’re moving along quick, be safe out there in the smokies.

[@ISuckatHiking]

I am!

[@UntakenTrails]

OOOooo that was a stunning view. Leo is in his element out there. He is having a blast and is always smiling for the camera. :)

[@ISuckatHiking]

He loves it

[@jayray720]

[@dianamazzullo9065]

Loving your hike. My grandson has a dog just like yours and his name is Leo. So, I am connecting to your journey with a little special connection to Leo.

[@ISuckatHiking]

Thank you

[@namesarenotinmportant9693]

Love your content. Will keep following the adventure. 😊

[@ISuckatHiking]

Awesome! Thank you!

You are making impressive miles! Good luck with the weather in the coming days. Leo is the BOMB!

[@ISuckatHiking]

[@KimberlyMarquette-b7q]

Fantastic view from the wayah tower and love Leo's shoes!

[@ISuckatHiking]

Thank you 🤗

[@karlabright1196]

Kountry Kitchen for the win! Wayah Bald is my favorite place for views. We live right below the first ridge looking NE. I see it every time I drive home from town. You guys are cruising along. Happy Trails!

[@ISuckatHiking]

Very cool!

[@maryrobinson2911]

Love your hiking style, Leo too

[@ISuckatHiking]

Thank you

[@claytonmarona6225]

Those icicles are called frost flowers. Enjoy your videos cause you seem to know what your doing and prepared. Some of these people are unwatchable them struggling to walk 6 miles

[@ISuckatHiking]

Thanks

[@dawnmaxwell7215]

Love Leo and his boots. Hope you cuddle with him at night to keep him warm.

[@ISuckatHiking]

He is well taken care of

[@dianamazzullo9065]

Is Leo going to be able to hike the Smokies with you. I sure hope so.

[@bonshe52]

I was wondering the same thing. I love Leo. He is a smart boy! We have two golden doodles.

[@debbihuff6870]

In an earlier post of his he said Leo will be hiking the Smokies. Leo is a service dog and I guess permitted.

[@ISuckatHiking]

It's coming

[@celenasherrill1455]

I'm loving following you and Leo. Great content.

[@ISuckatHiking]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@mobius9818]

Another great vid...Leo is so cute. Great job!

[@ISuckatHiking]

Thank you 🤗

[@carolynbradley341]

Happy Trails! You’re doing great! Love Leo!!

[@ISuckatHiking]

Thanks!

[@diannemccormick1650]

Enjoying your journey. Section hiked the trail for 9 years with two diff. Golden's. Dogs are so happy on the trail and great companions. Is Leo a lab doodle? My nephew is right behind you. Nickels. Trip12

[@karamcinally182]

He's a goldendoodle! 🐾 Such a smart, sweet boy.

[@ISuckatHiking]

Thank you

[@elizabethmague9198]

You and Leo are awesome!

Beautiful views! ❤🤓

[@ISuckatHiking]

They are!

[@lindatipton413]

Beautiful ❤

[@ISuckatHiking]

Thank you! 😊

[@lindatipton413]

I did not see where you said what kind of dog Leo is? Just curious.

[@karamcinally182]

He's a goldendoodle! 🐾 We rescued him on the 4th of July.

[@chrism2821]

I stumbled across your channel a couple days ago. Been really enjoying your vids. I love seeing what the AT is like. What happened to your toe ? What was that from ? I didn’t read the comments from the previous day so apologies if u already answered. Thx 😊

[@ISuckatHiking]

I had a blister on the inside and covered it poorly with leuko tape and tried to pull the tape off but it's all good now

[@sheilahenry7279]

Love Leo’s shoes. Do they make him run faster? Good to see you’re still w/ a hiking companion.

[@ISuckatHiking]

Just a little protective layer

[@brookecampilongo3962]

Will you ever post your mileage at the end of each video or total so far?

[@ISuckatHiking]

I do on my IG

[@michelle_nolan]

New trail name… TP waver!! Lol

[@ISuckatHiking]

LoL

[@FLAlocal]

What kind of shoes does Leo wear?

[@ISuckatHiking]

I have to find the company

[@ЮрийСураев-й7ы]

....🐶❤....

[@ISuckatHiking]

🐕‍🦺🌄⛰️

[@Michael-si9ci]

I can’t understand why you would risk your dog’s welfare.

[@ISuckatHiking]

I am not educate yourself

[@garyblalock4721]

I'd love to watch you hike the AT but I can't take the talking dog thing. I'm 60 years old, make it real, I love the dog But Dogs don't talk. Thanks

[@ISuckatHiking]

Well 99% of people love it so that's okay
