The Appalachian Trail - Maine (HD)

[@candlesbyvictoria]

I am a 51 year old women that has spend the past 17 years of my life building a business wishing I would have done things differently when I was younger. I watched your entire journey from start to finish and you were amazing and inspirational and I am so proud of what you have accomplished, may sound strange coming from a stranger but it's true. WTG Red Beard!! Off to watch you tackle the Pacific Crest Trail!

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks for the kind words! Many years still left in your life to have new experiences, maybe it's time for some adventure. Happy Hiking!

[@junkbox7588]

Candles By Victoria I’m 53 and raised 6 kids don’t know how many times I’ve watched RBs videos but because of these videos I have done many of the sections and will do it all at 58 . No regrets and life get out there and do it . Thanks RB yours are still the best you did good . Hay check out his 64 mile loop in the smokies go one too

[@FilmExpressions]

[@RedBeard0924]

Ha! Love it. There are many new episodes to come so stay tuned! ✌🏼️

[@reaganlegrand6216]

[@walkerbraden5843]

I watched the entire series of the AT. I really felt like I was there. Thank you Red Beard! I'm going to hike the AT 2 days after I graduate college and bring my Labrador rock that that I've had for many years that was found on the AT. Now it shall cross 14 states. Thank you Red Beard!

[@RedBeard0924]

+Walker Braden really glad you enjoyed my journey! Good luck on your hike!

[@walkerbraden5843]

+Will “Red Beard” Wood how did you manage to charge your electronic gear? Solar charger?

[@Cindy-ys9xb]

My husband, the engineer, and I, the caboose, thank you so much for the brilliant job you have done in sharing what it is like to be on the trail. We are retired and plan to do a SOBO leaving Katahdin on June 2nd, 2017. We will never be able to keep up your pace, but surely if we go slowly with a mind to being prepared, we have a hope. Thank you, thank you and thank you! I think you peeled away the romanticism but left the romance intact, if you can understand what I mean.

[@grizzlygramp]

I am already anxious to see your PCT videos start being posted and follow along with your new adventure. You and Joe Brewer have the most informative, no nonsense videos on the web and I have to thank you for the many extra hours of hard work you go through to not only take the videos and pictures but also the additional hours of editing and posting.

[@RedBeard0924]

My pleasure! Yeah I love Joe's videos as well. He has been kind answering a ton of questions for me regarding the PCT. Hopefully I'll be able to post videos straight from the trail like I did on the AT. We will see.

[@pony_bonnyman]

Thanks for the memories, mate. Thru hiked in '16.

[@datimer]

Congrats Red Beard! I really enjoyed your videos of the AT. You do a fantastic job of narrating as well! Looking forward to your future adventures.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Hey dude thanks for doing these videos. I just found your channel and saw you have each state of the AT, going to watch them all over the next few days. Awesome footage from what I've seen so far.

[@RedBeard0924]

Hope they r helpful

[@soniaraesoucy6788]

What a beautiful State. I lived here 50 years. There are so many hidden places and gorgeous views. My compliments to you. Your tours is spectacular.

[@scidso456]

Thank you Will. Hardcore hiking. Great footage. Much appreciated.

[@HiiKER_global]

Congrats Redbeard. It felt great to go on that journey with you in spirit!

[@chesspokergmgonzalez9105]

Best series of videos I have ever watch on KZbin by far. I love the fact that he is not promoting merchandise, I know they rely many times on that for extra income, and only talks about products in an honest matter. I would love to see the general numbers on such an amazing adventure such as weight lost, products that made the trip easier as well as some you may not have needed. Looking forward to more videos for sure.

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks! I lost 50 pounds total and all my ultralight gear made the hike easier no doubt. I can’t recommend going light enough. I love ultralight so much I know work for Zpacks. Ha. Cheers ✌️

[@Muzzleblast-1911]

Congrats Will! It has been so awesome following you on your journey. I hope some day I can do the AT. I am looking forward to your PCT journey. Peace out brother.

[@RedBeard0924]

Glad you enjoyed the vids! Hope you can do it yourself some day you won't regret it until then Happy Hiking!

[@danhaddox4887]

I have seen thousands of KZbin videos. I have never seen a video or a series of videos that has been so awesome! Thank you for sharing these videos and sharing this remarkable adventure . I'm from Appalachia born and raised in these mountains. I feel a unexplainable connection to your journey. To have the opportunity to hike to the trails end would be a blessing. "Mountai semper liberi "

[@connorpaton5909]

Just watched a couple of your videos, you're the man! Hope I get to do this someday!

[@RedBeard0924]

Connor Paton Thanks my friend for the kind words! Really glad you enjoyed my videos. Im sure we might run into each other on a trail someday. Until then Happy Hiking!

[@39camper]

What an AMAZING Journey you had!! Followed all the states you did til the end. Really AWESOME , Had me hooked brother!!! Congrats on this!!! YOU the man!!!

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks for the kind words ✌🏼️

[@melaniedaniels7298]

The most gorgeous footage from the whole trail.

[@iamthomasgreenman]

I remember watching this series of videos 7 years ago just after they’d come out. Backpacking changed my life, starting with this video and yet I’ve still not seen a single step of the AT. I’m older, more in debt, and closer to the age I’m supposed to start a family at. It seems more important now than ever to go back to the mindset of the young guy who first watched these video, because so far.. the alternative freaking sucks.

[@LucidDream]

The ending seems like such a beautiful experience. Love to see how it makes people feel to reach that point. Very joyous, I was smiling for you guys. :) Congratulations, Red Beard.

[@RandomButtonPusher]

Congrats on the accomplishment of finishing the state-by-state series. What a fantastic day you had to complete your journey. Your extraordinary efforts in both hiking and videography are much appreciated and applauded.

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks for the kind words. I really set out on this journey to find answers and bring the beauty of the trail to those who might not be able to hike it from end to end. It was a success all the way around. Happy Hiking!

[@RealG-j2q]

Congrats Will and a big thanks for sharing this amazing experience with us through this fine movie!!

[@gvc56100]

Successful conclusion to a long spring, summer journey.. thanks for the state by state format...... on to the PCT!

[@RedBeard0924]

No problem! It was a great trip for sure!

[@XArmyMP]

when I finish ill be crying like a baby. ive wanted to do the AT since I was 10 (1991). my plan right now is in 2018 im trekking northbound from Springer

[@RedBeard0924]

Good luck and don't let anything stop you. Happy Hiking!

[@XArmyMP]

thanks

[@Daddslittlegirl55]

My husband and I plan on starting at Springer in 2018 as well. Looking forward to it since this has become more of dream the older Ive gotten and spent my time hiking small hikes and some of the 100 mile Wilderness.

[@RickyBobbyPlusOne]

Hello Red Beard. I have watched the videos of your amazing adventures while on the AT, many times. I can't begin to express how much your videos motivate me to get outdoors and to be active. I have always wanted to complete the AT and seeing how I live in Georgia, I have always thought it would be easy to just start. However, work and responsibilities have proven time and time again to be a huge factor in me not attempting the journey. My wife and I plan on tackling the AT once the kids are grown and work no longer has a purpose. We both believe that you have posted the most well reviewed and most beneficial videos of any other that we have watched. Thank you for your forethought on recording your adventures and sharing them with the world. We will continue to follow you and show you support. Thanks again, you rock!

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I am really glad that my videos have been helpful! The AT was truly a wonderful experience and I know you guys would have a trip of a lifetime for sure. Once you get through the first few weeks and get your trail legs under you it becomes quite easy in my opinion because, for me, I was living a dream no way I was going to quit! Good luck with the trail in the future! Happy Hiking!

[@Tysonvs]

I'm glad I stumbled upon your vids. I went thru in 07. I had an accident two years ago and am now a quadriplegic. I can't count how many times I close my eyes to relive the trail and the silent, contemplative moments I had on top of mountains. Sometimes it's hard to watch with the possibility that I am physically unable to visit some of these places again. But, thank you for being a conduit to allow me to refresh my memories and relive the joy. Good luck in your future adventures.

[@RedBeard0924]

I'm so glad you found my channel and my adventure on the AT! So awesome to connect with a past thru hiker! You know and can relate to everything I went through, that's a connection us thru hikers have! I am sorry to hear about you accident that brings tears to my eyes. I am glad I was able to bring you back to the trail through my journey! Hope the best for you and I hope you will follow me on the PCT! I film simply to bring the sights and sounds of the trail to those who might not be able to do it themselves. Great to connect! ⛺️✌️

[@emartinsfontes]

Excellent videos. I'm in São Paulo, Brazil, and I've watched every single one of them. Congrats for the great work you've done, besides having walked the AT.

[@chipkappen9513]

Yo Redbeard. Chip here from Atlanta. Great documentary bro. I watched the entire series and felt like I was there. I hike a lot on the AT in GA & NC and wished that I could just take off and do what you guys did. Probably never will but it’s been a dream of mine. My legs and hips are not in good enough shape to do it anymore. Thanks for sharing this awesome adventure man.

[@danaclark1304]

Many, many years ago I day hiked to the summit of Kahtadin. Your excellent video footage brought back those long forgotten memories. I had forgotten how awesome the Maine wilderness is. Thanks for sharing some of the best moments of your journey. Happy trails.

[@RedBeard0924]

My pleasure. Kahtadin is an incredible place indeed!

[@PierreYvesStOnge]

Thank you for the videos on the AT, watched them all. I now have a better scope of what it is, hope to do it in 2017.

[@RedBeard0924]

Good luck Pierre, hit me up with any questions. ✌🏼️

[@alanbushey5466]

OMG I just love the mountains in Maine and also the White Mountains. Spectacular and beautiful.

[@RobsWorldWV]

The wife and I are noobie hikers, never overnighted, your journey was very inspirational and motivating, we are going to up our game...thanks for sharing...

[@YouBoob141]

I watched every video. You have inspired me to get off the couch and give hiking/packing a shot this spring. Thanks for sharing your journey, Red Beard!!

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks Jim

[@thewilderness4289]

I absolutely love all of your videos! I have recently, over the past year, developed a desire to hike! I have done tons of research and watched many many videos on youtube! Yours is by far my favorite! I watched every one of your AT videos, watching your entire journey, and have almost completed you PCT journey! I'm currently a sophomore in college, but once I graduate I plan and hope to begin doing these long, beautiful, and challenging trails! My goal is to earn the triple crown! You're super inspiring and give me something to look forward to, and what to expect along the way! You're a true inspiration! Keep it up! :)

[@RedBeard0924]

Really glad you have enjoyed my hikes, you will have the time of your life on any of these trails after college. I really think there is nothing better to do then to hike these trails. It will allow you to process the entire rest of your life and meet incredible people some of which will become life long friends! Good luck on all your preparations.

[@gpk7683]

Thanks Red Beard, I will never get there in this life but I have seen it through your eye. Much appreciated

[@jeffbuzzard6837]

Congrats RedBeard, I watched your entire thru hike Series man what a Trip, thanks for doing the videos and taking me along even if I did only go with you through the YT channel it was Great.

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it!

[@themattdaddy]

Congrats Red Beard!! Thanks for taking us with!!

[@RedBeard0924]

themattdaddy my pleasure indeed.

[@dannywhitlock8309]

Hi, Red beard ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Awesome and Great accomplishment, amazing journey hiking the Appalachian Trail. I am from Ga, I have watched all your awesome and amazing hiking journey, beautiful scenery and spectacular views and those ridge-lines where you walked across and vertical steep climbs and decent were just totally so cool. I’m looking forward to seeing more hiking adventures. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great week !!! Danny

[@catreadsbooks]

Congrats!! What a wonderful accomplishment. It was interesting to see people of different age groups finishing the trail. Thank you so much for taking us along on this awesome journey! This has definitely inspired me to go hiking more. To see nature at it finest.

[@megoto1972]

One of the best video series I have watched (personal opinion of course). Thanks for making me feel like I was part of the hike! Felt like you was talking to me at times! Great series! Will be watching the PCT series as well!

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks ✌🏼️

[@cathymolina9139]

This has been the best I've seen on KZbin yet. Thank you for sharing your experience. I truly enjoyed every moment!

[@dbb96ac]

oh my goodness. Did I ever crack up watching Chair crawl through those boulders!! Miss you two Southern Gents!

[@RedBeard0924]

Chair was a blast to hike with for sure especially during the hardest mile section! It was a blast hiking with you as well! Coolest Canadian on the trail BY FAR :)

[@Gary_Baker]

Dude.. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your complete video set of your AT hike. Of course, now, I feel like we're friends.. haha. My Zpacks Duplex tent actually arrived at my door during the middle of one of your videos. Your reviews are a big reason I decided on that shelter. Thanks for making these videos and I celebrated your summit with you, man. Good stuff. I'm out there to thru-hike 2017 of the fires haven't screwed that up. Peace, bro.

[@fin3572]

I followed you from Georgia in one afternoon! Outstanding job!

[@CRISISColetta]

Congratulations!! And thanks for posting this for us all to see!!

[@RedBeard0924]

My pleasure

[@sarahy5540]

Watched every single video of you doing the Pacific Crest Trail and now the Appalachian Trail everyday during lunch in my box, and wonder if I could actually do it myself. You've inspired me to go further than I think I can. I may not be able to thru hike both trails, but I will give portions of it a go-most likely the Pacific Crest Trail, specifically the amazingly gorgeous John Muir Trail. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@RedBeard0924]

+Sarah Y so glad you have enjoyed my adventures. If you feel called to the wildneress, go! You won't ever regret it! Happy Hiking!

[@sarahy5540]

Looking forward to seeing you finish the PCT too! I'll definitely make it out there. Travel safe!

[@thegoodguylives]

Watched your whole AT series and loved it! Thanks so much for taking the extra weight and the time to film - I know it wasn't always fun or convenient, haha. I'm heading NOBO on the AT this March and your videos were super inspirational. Thanks a ton for sharing and happy hiking Red Beard!

[@RedBeard0924]

Not a problem my friend. Glad you enjoyed them!

[@lrb1e39]

Watching you the entire way, you are totally awesome to allow us to follow you along the way...I'm just imagining how tired you were...I hope you will continue. I'm going to also start watching your other videos about how to prepare, what to bring, pack, etc...you're my hero!! :)

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks so much for the kind words! The AT was truly epic! Get out there and do it yourself if you can make it happen so I can watch your journey and relive my experience through you! I'm super glad you enjoyed my trek! Happy Hiking!

[@lrb1e39]

Well, now my wife and I BOTH are watching (I'm re-watching) your vids...man, I totally stoked...she really likes the beard, man! LOL

[@poppawolf26]

After watching this video series , this has to be the most detailed AT video I have seen so far. Great job!

[@RedBeard0924]

Vincent Vanaski thanks! It was a great hike for sure. One of my favorites.

[@poppawolf26]

Did you finish the PCT? I am going for it next year.

[@RedBeard0924]

Vincent Vanaski no. Ran out of money around mile 2100 and came back east and started working for Zpacks. I'll redo the whole trail soon but probably will go southbound.

[@poppawolf26]

Too bad, maybe I'll see you on it next year if you go.

[@harveyrenton6881]

Thanks, Will! It's always been a dream to hike the trail, but due to age, family obligations, and a bad knee, I probably won't - but thanks to you, I've been able to experience it. Your efforts are greatly appreciated - great job!

[@RedBeard0924]

No problem! Definitely why I filmed so people that might not be able to do it can get a sense as to what it is like!

[@bobconar2222]

Watch to the end. Another 'old codger' (both of us in mid 60s) commented about the absence of oxygen canisters along the way!! And too few benches... HaHa. I found myself breathing deeply as you boys climbed and went spelunking over and under the boulders and caves. Whew! But I sensed a determination in you, Red Beard, early in the vids. Congratulations! Your near continual videoing made me feel all the emotions you boys felt, and all the usual points of interest, and some special points of your interest; meeting up with Bambi, for example. And all the beauty too. I clearly see the benefit of the 45 "zero" days. And meeting up with other hikers in restaurants and on the trail. This had to be motivational to you boys. Again, my hats off to you-a huge accomplishment!

[@brookeewelch]

Finished watching in your AT journey in the past 24 hours. Incredible journey. Congratulations!!! Thank you for filming ♡ on to the PCT journey....

[@RedBeard0924]

My pleasure, it was an incredible hike for sure.

[@davidgrahamjr.6632]

Congrats on all your videos Will . I just watched the one video Maine and Katahdin . And gave it a thumbs up ! Then I started reading all the comments that people made on your videos and God bless you Will answered them all , that takes time !!! I retired from Gulfstream in March of 2013 Private jets , 37 years . March 26 2016 is my year for the A.T. Keep on keeping on Will !!!!!! Gray wolf out P.S. Feb 18 2016 I'll be sixty year old.

[@jameswilliams7420]

Watching all of your hikes is so inspiring. I need to definitely get out and start hiking. I live in Idaho so there are lots of great trails here. One day I would love to complete this trail. Thanks for the awesome footage of your hike.

[@solamano7239]

What a terrific documentary! I live in Europe and have never been in the US apart from CA and WA. I really like the fact that you kept to the trail and avoided cities. Thank you for making the effort to record what must have been an epic journey :)

[@you_tubewatcher5456]

Hey thanks for this Maine videos section of your hike. I am from Maine and born in Maine and it is beautiful here. I have always wanted to hike but physically unable to... your videos showed me what it's like, Thanks again!

[@Asdzaan]

I just finished your awesome AT videos. There were lots of hiking footages, landscape shots & selfies which were very educational in feeling the lay of the land (I could almost smell it, ha! )

[@shevanero]

well done red beard and all the thru hikers, fantastic achievement. and thanks for recording the whole journey,very inspirational.

[@chronicblend5334]

Just finished watching your videos on the Appalachian Trail. Thanks for taking us on your journey. Really enjoyed it! Congratulations

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks!

[@Inertia888]

Hey thanks for the work getting this on video. I miss Maine and can hardly wait to get back out there! You do a great job narrating, keep it up bro! ~Happy Trails~

[@chelseagonzalez3340]

this is Benjamin I live in Muscatine, iowa I saw your PCT hike first, then your AT hike, I have to thank you so much man, I wish I would've ran into this video story of your hikes long time ago, but anyway its 10/08/15 and its about 9pm, I just finished watching your AT hike, it took me about three days to fit you in my schedule, and im glad I did, praise GOD for you, thank you friend.

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks Benjamin! Right back at ya with the God Bless. Hit me up if u ever have questions. ✌🏼️

[@Tzippi]

There were times you guys scared the crap out of me! I don't think I could do the end of the trail. That Ridge you guys crossed into Maine... OMG. I did enjoy the vids! I watched them all back to back! Chair seems like a really super guy! I was glad he was with you! If he's single, tell him to Holla!

[@grizzlygramp]

That opening shot of the ridge line rock scramble is amazing. (I had to pause the video and comment already)

[@RedBeard0924]

Yeah it truly was insane! That's heading down Katahdin. Unbelievable mountain. Coolest mountain I've ever been on! Of course the PCT will change that! I'll be hitting Half Dome, Mt Whitney and many others!

[@luvsilly60]

Cool I had too much fog to see some of this scenery. As well as balds in the south. 1984 was the wettest year on record. Fantastic video. A ladder, that’s new.

[@WorldwideDarts]

That's my home state. Some of the best hiking in the entire USA. A lot of it is right in my back yard. Hope to catch ya next time you're around. Great video!

[@RedBeard0924]

Totally agree with you! I would love to live in Maine! I loved Rangeley and the small town of Stratton!

[@WorldwideDarts]

Will Wood We're on the backside of Sunday River. Great hikes on Mount Will, Grafton Notch, Albany Notch trail and of course the Appalachian. Cheers.

[@downundasvideos6402]

Well I've just completed the fourteen states with you Red beard and I'm beat. We can't believe how you managed to carry and control the camera over such a distance and through tough terrain. My only complaint:- I wanted more, but hey that's asking a bit much I know. Downunda - Melbourne Australia

[@dandesetto8089]

Hey Redbeard...I just finished binge watching your GA-ME trek, very well done! I've tried to watch a lot of these type of movies but most don't keep my interest all the way through like you were able to. I think for me the reason was the way you came across as genuinely appreciating the trail, the changing forest types, and the stunning views all the way from mile 0 to mile 2200...maybe with the exception of your rough spot through Virginia. Great job explaining with your camera where you came from and where you were going, elevations you covered, and distant peaks. I doubt I will ever have the ability to take this trek, but at least now I feel like I almost have. Congratulations and good luck on the PCT. (by the way, you may need to work on that left bicep on the PCT as the right one is probably warn out from carrying that camera 2000 miles :o)

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I really am glad that people have enjoyed my videos of my AT hike. I really did it initially for my friends and family and for my self to have to look back on some day. I love backpacking and I truly enjoy bringing the views and the experience to others! I am very much looking forward to the PCT it is going to be epic to hike and film! Happy Hiking!

[@mbaja25]

Awesome video series,Will. I enjoyed every minute of it. You did an amazing job capturing your adventure on the trail and somehow made it look relatively easy. Congrats to you and your fellow thru hikers for accomplishing what I know was a life changing experience. I look forward to your next adventure. Best wishes to you!

[@RedBeard0924]

mbaja25 Thanks so much for the kind words! Happy Hiking!

[@heatonjoseph1]

Congrats, and thanks for sharing your adventure. The effort you put into filming was extraordinary. Thanks for bringing us along. One day I hope to check this off my bucket list. See ya on the trails RedBeard and good luck on the PCT..

[@RedBeard0924]

Michael Heaton Im sure some day you will check it off your bucket list. It truly is a trip of a lifetime and it will change your life forever! Hope to see you on the trail someday! Until then Happy Hiking my friend!

[@nathanwilson105]

I just finished watching all of your AT Videos and have absolutely enjoyed following your journey. What a great experience it must have been. Can't wait for your next PCT Vid...I've been following you there too. I can't wait to do it myself one day! Keep it up and never quit!

[@3nineteen319]

Awesome series of your trip from Georgia to Maine. I enjoyed all of it. Thanks Red Beard.

[@RedBeard0924]

My pleasure. Really glad you enjoyed it!

[@kerryhurd7738]

Great job guys lived in Maine my whole life never hiked any of the AP but just happened to find this video you had me smiling as you reached the summit of Mount Katahdin loved the video I'll have to go back and watch the rest you made a great video coming through Maine really liked it I think I'm a little old to do it myself now not in the shape I used to be thank you guys for sharing rock on ☝✌🤘💯

[@dancole298]

Wow!!!....what a wonderful trip you have taken me on. I've watched all your AT videos from start to finish. Thanks and great appreciation and respect go out to you

[@RedBeard0924]

Thanks Dan! ✌🏼️

[@DCMO60]

Truly inspiring. I’ve watched a bunch of AT hiking videos and yours are outstanding. Loved the state by state format. Maybe I’m not ready to tackle the challenge, I was exhausted after watching you do it. Thanks for posting your hike.dc

[@RATyson]

Such and amazing experience! Followed all of your videos from Georgia all the way through. Heck, I got emotional when I saw the sign at the crest! Thanks again for sharing your journey with us! I'll be starting some day hikes with my daughter this spring. Hopefully I'll have her ready to do a couple days on Springer by the end of the year! Maybe see some south bounders finish.

[@RedBeard0924]

Really glad you enjoyed the videos and my journey. It was epic for sure! Good luck hiking with your daughter. It's a dream of mine to have at least one kid someday and take them out hiking on the AT! Happy Hiking!

[@rossgray274]

What a journey and a great series, I am from Scotland and was amazed at the beauty and the countless vistas on offer. Inspired to give the AT a go at some point and also the PCT which looks amazing . There is some great hiking in the Scottish Highlands, bagging the Munro's (mountains over 3000ft)and some great longer distance walks too taking in multiple mountain ranges and varied scenery, should come and check it out some day. Good luck on the PCT

[@RedBeard0924]

Glad you enjoyed the videos. I am dreaming of attempting the TGO Challenge in a few years! Some friends of mine just completed it this past year and it looked amazing! Happy Hiking!

[@dawg829ify]

Congrats red beard and chair, awesome videos throughout the hike, thanks

[@robertpilkinton5998]

red beard really enjoyed watching you on the Appalachian trail through 10 states totally awesome hope you will finish the Pacific crest trail soon enjoyed it and thanks

[@kate481]

Thanks so much for sharing your adventure in such detail! It means a lot to me to be able to see this hike I've wanted to do for a long time. Although I won't be able to pull it off for many more years for financial reasons, having all your footage in my mind inspires me to work on staying in shape and get out for shorter trips when I can. Peace!

[@kickapooanimalrescueallian6670]

Thanks so much for making these videos of your thru-hikers and organizing them by state. They've been enormously helpful to me as I plan my section hikes!

[@Rotativo25]

Man, simply amazing! The adventure of a lifetime! It definitely shows the grit and the spirit of the human being! Congratulations on that amazing accomplishment! I watched every video and you have truly motivated me to embark on that journey. April 29th is when we do our first hike into the AT. Planning on 115 miles from North Georgia into Tennessee. Just a warm up. But you have to start somewhere! Glad to see people truly living life! Thanks for sharing your adventure. Good luck on future endeavors!

[@toejamr1]

Aw man that looks awesome! Now Im a little sad that I have to(late start) to flip flop. I want Maine to be the finish so I can celebrate with everyone when I get there... I'd bet it would be fun to just sit there for days and watch the happiness on everyones faces when they finish. Great video, man. Now I know a little more of what to expect. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@RedBeard0924]

Brad Leonard you are so right, i had friends who stayed there for a week and went up EVERY SINGLE DAY to experience everyones ending. So cool, especially since you know most everyone on the trail around you! Really glad you enjoyed my videos. Good luck on your HIKE MY FRIEND! You will have a blast for sure! Happy Hiking!

[@NadiaYTPage]

Just watched all of your AT videos. Amazing. You're inspiring. Thanks for taking the time to video it and share with us. Can't wait to see your PCT adventure.

[@RedBeard0924]

I'm really glad you enjoyed my videos! I truly loved the AT and can't wait to be back on the trail on the PCT! Thanks for watching. Follow me on the PCT 😋 happy hiking!

Thanks for the time & effort you put towards these videos. Keep them coming !

Wow that was amazing to follow. I loved the format of doing it state by state. Your enthusiam has really sparked an idea in my mind. I've never hiked a day in my life because no one in my surroundings does it, yet, I feel more inclined than ever before to pick it up, and hopefully eventually walk 3400km from georgia to maine.

Loved watching your trip... thank you for the adventure ...... how many ticks did you have to pull of on your trip??? That's the only things that worries me about hiking specially with a beard.. Lime disease is in 1/3 of the ticks in Rockingham county in NH.. Where I live... An hour and a half from where you were hiking...... What happened to SnorOsaurus????

[@RedBeard0924]

I did find a ton of ticks on me but once I got north of Massachusetts I didn't see anymore thank god. Getting tested for Lyme disease in a week or so just to be careful!

[@trashmoneyyt]

Congrats man! You have inspired me to carry a camera and make a similar set with my section hike of the PCT this year. Hopefully we can bump into each other in the beautiful Sierras!

[@RedBeard0924]

That would be awesome! Good luck with your hike!

[@tylerryder2735]

Been watchig on and off for a few days i live in millinocket right off katahdin was AWESOME seeing you make it ALL the WAY HERE! Will you ever do it again???

[@MatthewSwartout]

Amazing footage all the way through. You've been a huge resource for getting my girl and I back into the outdoors and section/circuit hiking. After I stopped Exped Adventure Racing in 2006, I've really missed the wilderness. Gear has changed so much in 9 years. We built out sub 12 # base packs and are heading out in April for a 6-day circuit starting in George Washington NP. My dream is to through the PCT with my partner in crime.

That was a AWESOME VIDEO !.thanks for posting !. What an adventure ! I will be looking forward To your next.

[@RedBeard0924]

***** Thanks my friend, it was an amazing ending to a life changing trip! New videos to come soon! Happy Hiking!

[@RMcBee100]

I just finished binge-watching your AT footage. What an achievement!! You've really inspired me and probably thousands of others. However, I do have a question - and, perhaps (probably), it's been asked before. There were many areas where there was deep underbrush, over-brush, uber-brush, fog, clouds etc. Were there times that you mistakenly got off trail? Did you use a GPS to keep yourself on-trail? Did you night-hike because of heat during the day?

[@SimpsonProductionsgaming]

I have been binge watching this too

[@thakidkemp]

Your videos are dope brotherkeep them up..Good luck on the pct! Looking forward tho those videos.

[@RedBeard0924]

[@thakidkemp]

[@RedBeard0924]

[@PeakbaggersForCancer1]

Man you are a beast! I bet reaching that final summit was such a wide range of emotions! Congrats on completion brother.

[@RedBeard0924]

Peakbaggers For Cancer It was very emotional for sure! Mostly I was sad to be returning home. Ha! Happy Hiking!

[@trackerfiend]

Congrats Will! Thank you for taking us along for an incredible journey.

[@TheParanormalhotspot]

Congrats on a successful journey. just got done watching your documentary. Loved every minute. Great job at filming and editing. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. Really shows nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. Looks like you met a lot of nice and genuine people along the way and made memories that will last for a life time. Looking forward to seeing your other adventures. Stay safe out there.

[@maddymat]

Thanks so much for all your work filming, specifically all the views. I seem to be hooked on watching peoples AT trips (hopefully Ill be thru hiking next year, dependent on saving enough $). Out of all the ones I watched you definitely best showed the nature along the route as others focus on the parties or themselves. Couple questions Im sure you get all the time: did you stick with your water filter? How much money did you need to save? Did you find mail drops useful?

[@maddymat]

+maddymat Never mind on the filter I just saw your review :)

[@jeremymalatt2221]

[@RedBeard0924]
