One thing I really love about your channel is you play with your friends are have lots of fun and laughs with them! Thanks for taking us along.

[@wildernessrunner210]

So my favorite moments from this one: the snowball fight and everyone roasting their clothes over the fire 😂

[@carolwerner3881]

This was fun seeing the wildlife and the fun you all were having was great!!!

[@markviers998]

What's for dinner? Roasted socks on a stick lol

[@stacks.23]

Wow that last shot of the lake after the rain was beautiful! Love these vlogs thanks for keeping them posted.

[@Bill1608]

You guys had so much fun. Snowball fight in July, ha-ha. Thunderstorms in the mountains are something else. The sound echos and when I hiked and camped in the Adirondacks in NY when they were low the storm would hit the mountain and come back. Tons of fun. Happy Trails!

[@beardedfrogoutdoors]

Tuning in occasionally-- Glad to see you enjoying the lake and downtime w/friends. Big miles.... savor them and hike on.

[@RolandKrastins]

This is totally awesome video! The mountains are beautiful and majestic! I like seeing the moose and it's tracks. Have fun with your friends!😂

[@sapoverde65]

So hungry grilled my socks😂

[@soulproprietorDan]

That scenery is staggering! Enjoy!

[@rjsrock8]

Beautiful lake, young moose, raging falls, capped off with a snowball fight. Awesome day in Montana on the trail.

[@RJ-ix4co]

This day would be all I would need. I can’t imagine it getting any better than this day looked! So much fun and so happy for you! Stay safe and strong out there! ❤

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

Beautiful waterfall and the lake where you camped was spectacular 😮

[@rickcoffey5309]

AWESOME campsite and good times had by all. Rain blowing thru and then an amazing sunset. What a day

[@jodiearrington]

Absolutely beautiful footage. You are all brave, beautiful souls and thank you for sharing your journey with us. God Bless you in your travels.

[@nam_hn]

Beautiful section and an amazing crew!

[@teresap.5991]

The snowball battle was fun 😂. What a beautiful spot ❤️. Do you feel like all your stuff is going to smell like a campfire 🔥 forever?😊

[@joemeloche277]

I still am having a hard time understanding that you’re cold and walking through snow while I am melting down here in the Tampa Bay Area (Florida) yeah slightly jealous!! 😂

[@richardthorne2804]

Looks like a blast a beautiful lake to camp at, rain storm after a snow fight. My wife and i are going to be in Yellowstone/Grand Teton area in 2 weeks. Might be crossing paths : )

[@jasonjones5213]

Love that country, I'm gonna have to do some hiking up that way

[@RickINFJ]

That was a huge bull meese you saw! That tortilla was some haggard. 😂 Snowball fight and a nice 🔥 what a way to end a day. Rest well 🌲🏕🌲

[@jrcriner6542]

Awesome views. I would never be able to see them without your videos thanks

[@badjujuwallace1320]

Hey @kelly hays hikes my husband & I always wonder why y’all walk through water in your shoes & socks rather than changing into lightweight camp sandals or water shoes

[@Michael-o7x9h]

Epic snowball fight!

[@billevans9231]

The scenery is amazing

[@turragorman59]

You all look like you are having a blast 🎉

[@billheatherseanrapp103]

The Ursack only works if the bear doesn’t find it. My food was destroyed while tied to a tree in an Ursack.

[@onelovemon1784]

I'm torn between wanting to do the CDT or AT after watching your videos for the whole journeys. This one is unbelievable

[@Jllcountry5118]

💪You could get lost out there! Looks fantastic!!! Be careful had a feel for bear country.

[@DadDaughter-outdoor-Adventures]

And remember you only need just a few fish and a few loaves and a whole Multitude was fed!!!! lol he will multiply it .. and you will be seen through!!! Keep the Faith!! You’re gonna be fine!!!

Birdbath ,eh ?? more like Polar Plunge .. .. i always pack food for at least one extra day ,, plans sometimes change ... as well as hunger .. .. Now that's hungry ,, grilling your socks ... Stay Safe ..

[@ndan3746]

[@SalPane1224]

Awesome camp!

[@stanhigh]

Good video with interaction with fellow hikers.

[@travissapp4961]

So cool really awesome glad you get to go camping hicking travel in the forest I don't get to go do that

[@ReneVandyk]

Hi Kelly the hike is vary gorgeous beautiful awesome and amazing tell this far and the WILD Animals that you came across 😊

[@coachkammi]

I have a question? As an older woman who cant do huge miles. Do you do 25 miles a day because you have to on the CDT or do you enjoy doing big miles. I would love for you to talk about that

[@Simon-gx1wf]

On the cdt, you have to do big miles

[@coachkammi]

@@Simon-gx1wf is that because of the weather window for Colorado

[@sapoverde65]

Was there any berries to forage, I heard you can eat the fresh spruce tips and some of the wild flowers 🌺

[@Golfpt62]

Roasting the clothes hahahaha

[@daviddrakey1686]

Wild edibles Kelly: There is a book on wild edibles were the man shares his experience with his family on the PCT I believe. They were about to give up, when they noticed a wild edible book and then applied what they learned, and I believe finished the trail. However, be absolutely sure of what you're eating. You could of add a couple of dandelions to that pot or tortilla etc.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

..Identify edibles to what is found in the forests ,,,, many towns and counties spray pesticides on their roadway shoulders ...

[@damonr-fk5rp]

That tortilla looking pretty rough tbh lol.

[@SimonPurser]

Amazing view and awesome video 😊

[@EVILCHUCKYLEGION]

Wow nice view

[@travissapp4961]

The last time I went camping was in 2012 in beverly beach Oregon campground plzs look it up

[@Eric-i2g8u]

I love your video Kelly awesome 🙏🎊💯💔🎈🙏😇👍💔

[@fitnessfreak498]

great vids

[@cynthiasmith4966]

Snow beach!!!???

[@DaveCarpenter2112]

Is the whole CDT government land or are there sections of private that the owners let people pass through?

[@kellyhays23]

Most has been national forest/park

[@DaveCarpenter2112]

@@kellyhays23 be safe out there I think if I were going through there I would have a gun in my backpack I wouldn't trust any spray. I'm sure I would get in trouble for it later but I would still be alive lol

[@stevenvarner9806]

Mmm mmm... baked DarnTough.

[@Kali_mexican]

No way I could walk that much

[@MarthaAsh-xt2hv]

I worry about big cats and bears , will stalk you you guys won't know they're there till they're on top of you. It's a good idea when you all stop everyone should face a different direction so that you can see if something's coming also be loud on trail talk loudly

[@davidevans3175]

Can't believe you did the girly "save me" then complained about the food on camera!! 😂

[@kellyhays23]

💁‍♀️💁‍♀️

[@iggyrojano1978]

😍

[@rangerinthewoods]

Note to Kelly's crew: Keep her well fed so she don't go hangry...1😁

[@photodb]

Enjoying your videos - ya'll are kicking butt. One recco if I may - please research how to do proper bear hangs. Ya'll are freaking me out with those "hangs".

[@bernielamont825]

Those are "Ursack" bags. Look it up and you'll understand,

[@photodb]

@@bernielamont825 Oh right, I forgot about Ursacks. I'm not a fan. thx.

Waters contaminated (e-coli)😢

[@garylafreniere1112]

❤ hello beautiful friend hope you get something to eat be careful out there your friend Gary❤❤

[@martinmoss317]

Please don't pour boiling water into your food whilst holding the bag from underneath - scald in the wilderness is not good - it's never good, but worse away from medical facilities.

[@robertkeller5930]

I was scalded while pouring hot coffee into a plastic canteen. My forest fire engine boss was next to me and immediately grabbed my hand and put it in cold water. The same engine boss, when I asked her what to do, on my first fire, when the top of a burning snag falls, pushed me aside as a burning chunk fell, and yelled “run!”

Wait until you get to Colorado and New Mexico at those elevations! Hopefully you got warmer gear stashed in that area or buy some. Your gonna need it

Why is someone always coughing in the background? Is someone sick?

[@Jaxon1776]

I bet I know why

[@suemoore1965]

😮 😮 😮 😮 FOOD 😮 😮 😮 😮 REALLY 😮 😮 😮 😮 ???

[@dannyjamison8337]

That moose was staring you down pretty good! He was like: "yo, you best keep stepping.. you're in my 'hood & I'll mess you up!" Also, if you run out of food and desperately need more, you can boil your shoes (filet-of-sole) and eat them if they're leather. Then, use the laces for dental floss. You're welcome.

[@walteragentplummer7031]

U brthn hrd❤

[@vintagejunktofunk4616]

Soo I have a girl question!! What do you do when you’re on your period? I have to do my little camping stays (no hiking just driving to a spot lol) around my cycle… I would need a shower and soap lol! And do y’all shower? Im genuinely curious!! Thank you!!
