Wapiti means "Elk" out here. Another great day on the trail. -H

[@michelleostrowski1246]

That was a fun song at 7:30 minutes.

[@nancywittendorfer5982]

Good job today getting up at 4 in the morning look like a fairly good day all the way around except for those damn blisters. Love you captain, love you sunshine. Nan

[@sheilahenry7279]

I think I’d agree w/ Largo that the pack you’re use to that’s much lighter would be better than a non supportive loaner. But, I’ve never done a long hike or slack packed.

[@BethHughes-qe5jq]

Very cute backpack!

[@YTusercomment]

TIP: Good Bear etiquette does not just include care with food...it also includes not using "sweet or floral" smelling Deodorants too.

[@YTusercomment]

Good catch on Video...I have never seen so many Millipedes gathered together in a group like that before.

[@LynnAgain83]

Good morning! 🌞🌄 Don't mind me, just living vicariously through you guys! 🏞️🫡🌳🙂‍↕️🌲😌🌄 Oh, wow! angels rock us SPECTACULAR! 🥹🪽 I could stay there all day! Just subbed! ✨

[@milestogowithyou1157]

Yes that pack is you! Love it. And Captain, I agree- an emptied backpack always seems lighter than the same stuff in a day pack! I love how you guys fit Woods Hole into your day. So fun! Definitely a well oiled machine with that 4 AM wake up call.

[@mccarthympma]

We loved Woods Hole and Nevil! So glad you were able to work it in to your schedule. You guys are cruising and crushing!!!

[@marilynm5024]

Ok, that backpack is definitely you!!!!!! Amazing how fast and early you got on the trail.

[@beckyraver7959]

Captain has bombastic side eye during the outro ... lol he needs a trim! ❤❤❤❤ another fantastic vlog! Thank y'all

[@markswishereatsstuff2500]

Change out that screw top on your water bottle for a flip top. Game changer.

[@WorldTowning]

Brilliant idea!! How did we miss that one.

[@RustyFinch]

I hear there are lacing tricks to stop your feet from moving inside your shoes to help with blisters..

[@nancywittendorfer5982]

Most lacing tricks are for your shoes to stay tied. Injinji socks are the best for preventing blisters. Perhaps Captain's shoes are not big enough because if his toes keep hitting on the downhill that's why.

[@jackiesiemens9112]

Check out Engo! You will thank me😊 best thing Harv and I did for blister care. I think it would work in your shoes and your poles. It was developed for people with prosthetics. It goes on the shoe not the skin

[@Lovesracing19]

Beautiful views today. Safe travels.

[@suemoore1965]

KEEP WALKING TALKING GOING❤

[@colleenhikes]

2 other hikers i follow are in the shanadoah right now, so not too far! At your pace you will catch up!

[@WorldTowning]

We are hoping to catch the back of the bubble.

[@lmkwillow6395]

I have been waiting for you to mention Pearisburg, VA So I have only done 100 miles total on the A.T. In very small sections. Unless a more embarrassing story happens along the way, my little hikes during my little hikes (so little compared to yours), Pearisburg will be the one that I will tell. I drove 4 hours from my home in the Eastern Panhandle down to Pearisburg and met some friends to do a two day, overnight hike. We were two hours in when I realized we were going the wrong way. Man, were my friend frustrated with me because I was the one that planned it. Ooops

[@WorldTowning]

OMG, it is so easy to do that. But now you have a good story to share and a funny memory.

[@sheilahenry7279]

I can see me doing that 😂

[@bonniepugh1991]

You may not reaize it but the food outside of the bear canister (twice now prior videos) and now the trash you are endangering other hikers

[@WorldTowning]

It is not ideal and I have only done it 3x. It is a far cry from 90% of the people who sleep with their food in shelters each night.

[@suecox8355]

[@loririchardson3547]

20 of those is a rager 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@stephanieaston7178]

My next door neighbor was murdered last year by another neighbor that he sometimes did landscaping jobs with. Originally, when the detectives came to talk to me, all I knew was that they were coming, and wanted to search his side of the house. I assumed that he was being investigated, because he was pretty shady…. I had police knocking on my door, looking for him, before. It was the next day that I found out that he had been shot, and dumped on the side of the road, just over the county line. That was terrifying! Especially since his brother, whom lived with him, was way too happy about inheriting a weed whacker from him! Not long before this happened, his brother was telling my father, whom owns the house, about how he had removed the water meter, replacing it with a pipe, to get free water after they shut his water of… So, of course I couldn’t help but be scared that I had a cold blooded killer living next to me! Thankfully, the actual killer turned himself in! He lived within a few hundred yards of my house! I still get the creeps thinking about it! What makes this story worse, after blowing my next door neighbor away, he actually picked up his girlfriend, and their CHILD, and drove with them south to dump the murder weapon in the Potomac River, only to drive North to dump his body only a few miles away(Like he actually wanted to get caught, or something….), but with his own child in the truck with the neighbor’s body! I feel so horrible for that child! And the girlfriend’s hair, which was dyed multiple colors, was actually found on his body, so she also went to prison for helping her boyfriend dispose of the body.

[@sheilahenry7279]

What a story

[@WorldTowning]

oh gosh, this is terrible.

[@madie72451]

Do you put water purification tablets in ur creek water?

[@WorldTowning]

No, we use a Sawyer Squeeze water filter. Super easy, never got sick.

[@heatherlambert8660]

convicted killer who murdered two hikers on the Appalachian Trail in the early 1980s, after getting released from prison the same man shot two friends on May 6, 2008, in same area off AT. He died 5 days later in jail.

[@WorldTowning]

Just horrible.

[@YTusercomment]

Some people just cannot ever be rehabilitated...

[@MrJerobona]

This channel has turned to "not my type"... She talks and talk and talk... and talk... Sorry Largo, but it's really boring me... is this going back to the amazing channel it used to be, sometime soon?
