Really enjoy your videos mike!

Once you complete editing the videos from the hike have you considered consolidating them into one long documentary/movie? I'd watch that more than once!

Do you find that a pair of trail shoes are more comfortable / adequate for a thru hike like this than say a pair of water resistant boots?

Pup is like there is no need to go to the Ranger Station. I found my comfy spot right here see she is Happy. Im Happy where is the Problem 😜

Thank you sooo much for rescuing this sweet puppy and giving us her wonderful adoption story. I could see the Pyrenees in her immediately as I hv two Great Pyrenees mix rescues who showed up on my property (at different times)…I kept them both & hv never regretted it a second. They are the sweetest babies. Big babies 😂😂 but nonetheless!

Hope he gets a good bill of health from the vet! He’s so adorable!! 🥰

Is she a duck toller? They're awesome. Great intelligence, sweet, what a score!

Blessings to you for taking the puppy! Look how sweet he is! Some people will just leave him all alone 😢

What's your typical pack weight?

Have you camped at Sutton Bluff Campground? What did you think?

Thank you.

Bless you both!

Glad the puppers got a good home. And you guys made it happen. Love the videos dude, keep em coming.

That pup gave you the side eye like "What do you mean "might have a dog? You're mine now!" Good luck ya'll. Good save.

Good looking man!

Do you think he’s an Aussie? Hope you get to keep the little feller.

Dog update?

Owls Bend bluff view is THE money shot

Instead of treating the Nalgene water with drops, why not just squeeze your filter pouch directly into the Nalgene?

Loving this series! Agree that Rocky falls to klepzig mill is a great day hike. One of my favorite hikes to this day! Also did a fall hike with ONSR from klepzig mill to owls bend.

Beautiful! Exellent advice, know before you go!

I have hiked that section a few times. Theres water at MM17 but nothing afterwards at least in my hikes. Both listed spots have always been dry. Glad you found water at grasshopper hollow as I did not when I was through there.

Cool video 😊 new sub here

FYI, while people do and there is a fire ring there, you are not supposed to camp on the glades as to protect the fragile ecosystem. It is a great overnight spot and there is a decent campsite up the old fire road off into the woods.

You definitely had to have missed the re-route somehow. It should decently marked. I haven't been there for a couple years but when I was it was flagged and signed. The southern sections could definitely use some love but generally dont because the north sees more users overall.

Did not look like fun.

Please excuse my ignorance but, would whipping out an axe and clearing some trail be considered maintenance or vandalism ? Fire rings need feeding so, what’s legal fuel on government property ?

Hello my new friend!Love your channel. Leaving a sub. Almost to 2k! Take care!

I just got back from a little trip on the OT. I was going to do a loop on the eleven point..but last minute changed my mind (had emailed someone from the OTA and they daid the low river route would be pretty rough going..)..so i did powder mill to just before that old mill and back, it was pretty nice! Water is always my biggest anxiety while backpacking. I dry camped the first night and i hate having to ration water (especially since I have a 125lb-ish dog with me lol) i think we hiked almost 5 miles the 2nd day before we saw any water..

The drought last year was insane!! Glad you found water!

I'll be honest, water sources being dry is a different kind of anxiety. Has that ever happened to you on a multi-day backpacking trip?

do you ever do weekend trips to the Mark Twain Wilderness areas?

I'm doing the Courtois section in March. Hope you have posted that section by then. Love following along.

Can’t wait to see the Karkaghne section! We will be on it in the next month or so. Love seeing your journey.

Doing a longer hike sort of changes you a bit doesn't it.

Keep truckin! Looking forward to more updates :)

Loving the series. Always exciting when a MSJ video drops.

Thanks for explaining the trails, it was confusing when we tried!

Way to go MJ!

Over the summer I did the Onondaga --> council bluff. Can't wait to see what that looks like from the other side

Really enjoying the videos

I'm trying to piece together trail sections on All Trails, and it doesn't seem to have all the sections. Is there one continuous map I'm not finding? I'm trying to plan my first longer thru hike.

How much more work comes from planting your camera, filming yourself, then going back to get it, and then rehiking sections over and over? I'd really love to video our backpacking but I'm kind of intimidated with how much work it would be on trail while I'm trying to enjoy nature. Any pointers? Is it not as exhausting as it looks?

Is having solar chargers an option?

Was there any ponds along that trail? Or just the old creeks?

That trail from Devil's Run to the car was the WORST! I was so thankful to get out of there without turning an ankle! Great job, Michael!

Enjoying your hike. I did it SOBO in 2023, and it was an awesome experience. Just think, most people will never see what you saw. I have to admit the Blair Creek section was my least favorite section, with so many pointless back and forths (PBAF), and I didn't ever think the trail along the creek would end. But we still need to be thankful that we have a great long-distance trail in Missouri. Looking forward to your completion videos.

This has been a fun series to keep up on every week. I'm wondering if you feel like your impression of Missouri's natural landscape has changed over the past few years of hiking and making videos?

10 minutes of peaceful bliss during my busy day; thanks Michael. I was planning to thru hike the trail late this fall and had already adjusted back from November to October thanks to your videos and your reply about the ticks. Now, I may be retiring much earlier and thinking April might be a good time. Thanks again; not only for this series, but for all the content you've offered.
