How wonderful, I would have loved to see that. I visited the Adirondack Experience this past summer, but unfortunately, I had no idea who she was. She was an awesome woman! Thanks for commenting. :)

With today's technology, I think you are right about that. Thanks for commenting!

I had never heard about it before either. They say history repeats itself - I think this is one example. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks so much! Yes, I’ll definitely keep walking, even in the winter. You’ve done some serious hiking-Mount Marcy a few times is no joke! I know what you mean about those big hikes get harder, but that daily 30-minute walk still makes a difference. I just have to keep going until it becomes a habit. It’s great to hear from someone who loves the outdoors like I do! Thanks for your support and encouragement!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It’s too bad you couldn’t make it this summer, but there's always next year. Woodstock’s a great spot too, especially with friends close by. Hoping you and your wife make it back to the Adirondacks soon. There’s nothing quite like the mountains! Thanks for commenting!

I’m just starting out with small hikes and working on shaking off the fears-bears, other wildlife, and, yeah, any “bad people” out there too! Trying to get more comfortable and build up my confidence with each hike. Thanks for the tips-they’re very helpful as I get started!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Taking a break like that to catch your breath is a good idea, I'll have to start doing the same. I'm not sure where to buy bear spray but I do think it would ease some of my worries. I don't think I can buy it on Amazon, but I'll certainly look for some in Florida. And thank you for the prayers, my friend could really use them right now. Thank you for your support!

Cornwall, Canada! 🇨🇦 That’s awesome! Thanks for tuning in from such a beautiful part of the world. 😊

A hiking group sounds awesome! Maybe someday, but for now, I’d probably slow everyone down with all the breaks I take. I used to have a dog back in the day, and having a big furry buddy on the trails would be perfect. Just taking it solo for now, one step at a time! I’d never heard of David Paulides before, but I’ll definitely look into his work now-sounds fascinating! Thanks for mentioning him!

Hello! It’s inspiring to hear you’re still out there, enjoying the forest solo at 84-that’s incredible! I get what you’re saying about being more aware of the “unknown” lately. Sounds like the bear bells are a smart addition, I surely can relate to not always feeling totally at ease. That peaceful connection with nature is so special, though, isn’t it? It really does refresh the soul in a way nothing else can. Thanks for sharing your experience-it’s encouraging, and I hope I can keep hiking just like you for years to come!

I’m with you! There’s something priceless about the peace of being alone, surrounded by nature instead of the chaos of people. Sounds like you’ve got the perfect setup-gardening, reading, cooking, cross-stitching-everything you need to stay happily self-sufficient and grounded. I agree, give me the critters and the quiet any day! 😊

@@AdirondackLegends Well said. 🌲🐿️🌟

Thank you so much for the kind words and the support! Really glad you enjoyed the video. Bless you too, and welcome to the channel! 😊 Much love right back to you!

@@AdirondackLegends you are most welcome

lol That's what I'm afraid of! Mostly the bears, the others I think I can handle. Even Bigfoot! lol

That is so sweet!. Thank you. :)

@@AdirondackLegends you are welcome. You came across my algorithm.

Hello, nice to meet you as well. I'm afraid the foliage is not going to last much longer, but it sure was pretty while it lasted. Thank you for visiting my channel. :)

Hi Thomas, it is awfully sad when these types of things happen. I think the Maine disaster was one of the worst I've ever seen. And, I agree, it is still going on, perhaps even worse. Yep, AA, haha, Thanks for watching!

You said it well. It’s hard to stay open when you know what some people are capable of. A little distance feels smart, even if it’s sad. But I’m with you-seeing the good in people keeps me from losing hope. Thanks for sharing that; it’s good to know others feel this way too.

I remember when the two convicts escaped from Dannemora. I kept thinking I would see them standing in front of my window. lol I was very happy when they were caught! Thanks for watching. :)

Thank you. It was a lot of fun out there today! And thank you for commenting. :)

Thank you! I totally agree-there’s nothing like the woods. Glad you enjoyed the video, and I appreciate your kind words about my friend. Stay awesome and happy hiking!

Absolutely! We can’t let those fears hold us back. Thanks for the support, and I’m with you-let’s keep pushing forward!

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! Yes, I love the solitude too. It brings me such wonderful peace and serenity. Thanks for commenting :)

Thank you so much! Walking in the woods is such a wonderful way to find peace. I’m glad you're enjoying the channel, and I love hearing from fellow nature lovers. Stay blessed and take care!

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Thank you for the suggestion! A hiking club sounds like a wonderful way to meet like-minded people and share the love of the outdoors. I’ll definitely keep that in mind after I get a little stronger.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really touched that the stories and reflections resonate with you. You're absolutely right-facing our fears and letting go of them is one of the greatest things we can do in life. I’m so grateful to share this journey with viewers like you. God bless you too!

French Louie definitely had some unique skills that most people don’t have. It’s impressive, but I agree-his lifestyle isn’t something many of us would want today. It took a lot of toughness to live like that!

Thank you so much! That’s such a strange and heartbreaking story about Kenneth McCall. I hadn’t heard of his case, but those odd circumstances definitely make it something worth looking into. I really appreciate you sharing this with me-might be a story to dive deeper into in the future.

Yes, this is very sad. It breaks my heart to see dogs who are neglected or abused. Some people should not have dogs. Bless you as well, and have a good day.

Hi, I thought I responded to this but it's not showing up on my feed. I wanted to tell you I agree with you. Hopefully we'll find out more when they complete the investigation. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for sharing your story! It’s amazing how the Adirondacks leave such a lasting impression, no matter where life takes us. Calling Wisconsin the "Flatirondacks" is a perfect touch! City life isn’t for everyone, and I’m glad my story brought back those memories for you.

When I moved from NYC to the Adirondacks, people were generally friendly. As long as you're respectful and appreciate the local culture, folks tend to accept you. If you enjoy your peace and don’t try to change too much, you’ll fit in just fine. People up here value solitude too! And they really have been quite friendly. Always there to give a helping hand.

Well, thank you. I'm glad you liked it. 😊

Thank you. I love camping up here too! There's nothing like the crisp mountain air. It beats any place I have ever been!

Because it's too busy in the city. As I've gotten older, I love the peace and quiet the Adirondacks have to offer. Thanks for commenting. 😊

Thank you, Daniel. I wish you all the luck in the world in making this life changing decision. If you're anything like me, you'll not regret it. I would love to know when/if you decide to make the move. And thank you for following my channel. 😊

That's such a powerful perspective. It really makes you rethink what truly matters in life beyond the material things!

Thank you, Tony! Noah John Rondeau’s story really is inspiring-living life on his own terms for so many years, despite the challenges he faced, is something we can all admire. I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

It's mind-numbing how the United States government has gotten by with forcing people off their lands with absolutely no consequences for their unlawful evil actions. There is a payday coming. I would venture to say it's already here....

No, I'm afraid not. I searched for it, but the only thing I could come up with is that he might be somewhere around the Old Forge area. I would have loved to find it, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. That's why he's hidden so well, because of people like me. lol

@@AdirondackLegends that's what I thought!

Years ago, I lived in the Adirondacks. I grew up in the Utica/Rome area and spent many summers camping and fishing in the Adirondacks. If I wasn't playing guitar, I was talking pictures in the Adirondacks. I had a friend who used to camp at North Lake. He was retired at the time and would spend the entire summer camping at North Lake. I would stop by and visit occasionally. One day, I continued to South Lake, but the road had a gate. That was the end of my picture taking for that day. I told another friend about it, and he said from that point on is private land owned by the Bacons. I put two and two together and realized that it could be Kevin Bacons' property. If that's true, then good for him. That area is beautiful and secluded. I see him and his wife every now and then on UA-cam and wonder if he's shooting his video from the Adirondacks.

@@flyonwall360 lucky him

Me too! I think we all could have learned a lot from him.

Yes, I agree, unfortunately, I think a lot of people in developing countries live "off the grid" because they don’t have access to things like electricity or clean water. It’s not really a choice there-it’s just how they have to live to get by.

@AdirondackLegends It's just funny. The on grid people now want to go off grid. Tired of their grid environment; social and high tech...

​@setisuafa-os9tv It does get old. Especially with the cost of everything. Some people just can't afford it anymore.

Thank you for the tip. Yes, I would love to see that documentary. I think Proenneke was fascinating. There are many more photos of him but I was unable to use them due to copy-right issues.
