Any of the books from C.S. Lewis's - The Space Trilogy. Prelandra is amazing, the protagonist Ransom is on a quest to another planet that is filled with all sorts of interesting floral, ivy and plush interesting vegetation. Some of the mass land areas float around through the seas.
I don't have any "hiking" book recs but you might enjoy An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield. Also would recommend Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir if you like science fiction. It is about a guy who is on a deep space exploration mission and he is the only crew member who survived deep sleep and still is trying to complete his original mission. Have fun!
I had some flash back memories when I saw your tent next to the bear bags. :-) MANY years ago... 1984, I lay in my tent out in New Mexico, Philmont scout rant, and listened to a very determined bear clime a tree, jump out to get the bear bag for a group who had tied up a bag too close to the tree. He jumped, missed, hit the ground with a humph, jumped missed, hit the ground with a humph, over and over again, I can still hear the heavy breathing and the claws on the trees... then there was that jump... rip... and I could just feel the glee in that bears tone when it hit the ground with the huge bag full of food for 10 guys! It munched and chewed the rest of the night. The bear was gone by morning, as was most of the food, only a pile of trash left behind. Thankfully they were not too far from a resupply. Your cable looked like it was plenty high and far from the tree, so I am sure you were fine... just a funny memory that will last forever. :-) Have a great trip, and I love watching the videos.
I follow several 2023 NOBO thru hikers on UA-cam and I wish them all the best in a successful journey. You are without a doubt one of the most confident hikers and with your past experience, there is no doubt you will have the least number of difficulties on the trail. You picked the right time to head out and travel at a decent pace that will insure a timely arrival at Mount Katahdin. And, I like that you are making it fun for yourself. One may have a goal in mind at the beginning of this journey but is it worth it if you are not having fun! I wish you the best for a safe and fun filled trip!
Thanks for answering my water filtration question. I’m in Australia and when hiking here water isn’t as readily available as on the AT. I’ve just purchased the same style as you use but went with the 3 litre version just so I have a safety range of water capabilities. Really enjoying the vlog every day and getting to see the sights in the US 😊
Loved hearing about the books you’re listening to. Have you read or listened to A Walk In the Woods by Bill Bryson? It’s a funny memoir about his time hiking the AT. I listened to it during CoVID when I first became interested in the AT, and I just picked up a used copy that I’m reading out loud to my hubby as we begin to daydream about doing more hiking now that our kids are getting older. I watched you in 2021 and was so happy to see your videos again this year. Living vicariously through you!
Enjoyed another video thank you!! Look up the book "blind courage " it's the true story of a blind man and his dog that hike the trail from springer to maine.
Hey Taylor...Why have you not switched to hammock camping yet? So comfortable! As far as books - a thin, fairly quick read, is 'Interior Freedom' by Jacques Philippe. Definitely a favorite so far in 2023. If you're looking for a little soul searching. I followed you in 2020 and in 2022, so nice to see you back out again.
Wild is an awesome book! I read it several years ago. I’m an old lady (73), never hiked,but these stories are so interesting to me, just like the vlogs I am following on the 2023 thru hikers! You all just amaze me and I wish I’d had this sense of adventure when I was young!
I did not remember that pull out of Hot Springs...gosh it's over 2200' of elevation gainin the 1st 10 miles. You just power right up those Mtns...very impressive!
Hello! Some cool hiking books I would recommend would be anything by Heather “Anish” Anderson or Carrot Quinn. “Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home” - This is Anish’s story of her FTK on the PCT! “Mud, Rocks, Blazes: Letting Go on the AT” - Anish’s story of her FTK on the AT! “Thru-Hiking will break your heart” - Carrot Quinn’s story of her PCT thru-hike!
You should listen to North by Scott jurek! It’s his story of breaking the AT time record. I thought it was so inspiring and interesting. Good luck! Love your updates and insights ♥️
Hi Taylor. I’m from the UK and thinking of hiking next year. I hear all the UA-camrs talking about getting shuttles but would really like to know more about where this information comes from and costs etc
Also great books: "Not Without Peril" -also about hiking in NH with many lessons to learn. "Grandma Gatewood's Walk" - inspiring book for all women hikers (and older people in general).
Awesomeness!!! Just a quick question, how often do you need to change your water filter? I read the book Wild and it’s a great book! Can’t wait to hear what you think about it. I am going to try and get that book you just finished. That sounds like a great read😍 I hope you get a good night sleep! You are really getting those miles in!! I can’t imagine walking that many in one day! I know I could do 10-11 because I do that many in a day at Disney World 🤣🤣 But that’s not up and down mountains either😳😳😳💗💗💗
What is your favorite thing about hiking the AT? We love catching up on your videos every night after work and are considering hiking it ourselves. We missed you by a few days because we hiked the Approach Trail in Georgia a few days after you started this year!
There is another good book about a woman dying on the AT. ‘When they find my body’. This was a very good book as well. Read it if you get a chance. I think you will enjoy it. I've read Wild and enjoyed that as well. It's quite different, but it shows that everyone has their reason for going on a they hike!! Enjoy and stay safe!
Taylor. I just have to say that I find it so funny that everytime you talk about something excited coming up whether its a view, a hostile, or getting food your eyes get really big. haha. Its so difficult to hike and vlog i've done so many but never something as intense as the AT. I do have a suggestion that might help. I realized that instead of always talking to the camera and trying to come up with interesting things to talk about I started just filming footage and then just recorded voice over after filming so I could actually reflect a little more about what happened that day. I would just take notes throughout the day of topics I wanted to discuss and then used them to help me with the voice over at the end. I have a series on my youtube channel called Utah Adventures which is about 12 episodes. You can see how I utilized voice over and talking to the camera to make the videos push a long. Best of luck on the rest of your journey!!!!!
Love watching you. 2 Questions. Are you ever scared since you are hiking by yourself? Have you ever had a bear encounter? Book recommendation: 'Blind Courage'
Viper sunglasses !!! my grandkids said ya gramps, get some pit vipers, they're wicked cool. i was shopping for some glasses that came in extra-wide to fit my fat head
Have followed you since 2020 ! I look forward to your daily post. I am also from NH, very close to your neck of the woods! Also, a diehard Dunks fan! Praying for ya! You go girl!
Southern Cookie Lady Rocks!🍪 I do Trail Magic just up the street from Massachusetts Cookie Lady’s house. I take their order (of what they want to eat) and send them to her and then they eat when they get back “Bacon Wrap”😊
I remember hearing about her (Kate Matrosova) on the Maine news years ago. You're looking and sounding rock solid, Taylor. Slo-mo Pit Viper cam? 😂 Take care ✌️
Cool. I caught you are Sunkist's channel. She's the other hiker I'm following to learn about the AT. I'm glad you two met up. Keep logging those miles Nahamsha!
I like audiobooks as well. You, BadBatHikes, and Gabby recommended audiobooks today. BadBatHikes highly recommended the 3 books in The Inheritance Game series. Happy Trails! 🚶♀️👍🏻🙂 Question: Do you like your hiking poles? What kind are they?
Beware the book Wild. Every time I finish reading that book I want to start over from page 1. I can't even tell you how many times I've read it. Hope you enjoy it.
The Southern Cookie Lady I knew was “Charlie the Cookie Guy”, a husband of a thru hiker who was supporting her at the road crossing and would pass out…wait for it…COOKIES! We were hiking faster than her and lost touch shortly after the Smokies. And there are people who hang out around the AT who are sort of iffy. Avoidance is your best strategy.
I’m not sure if use any type of ground cloth (footprint) with your tent, but my normal procedure is to lay down the footprint and then lay down on it and roll around. If there’s any pesky pokeys, it’s easy to get them out then, before the tent goes up.
Nice switch backs.....glad to see that the weather is getting warmer-at least for today. Love the idea about screen shots of questions. Way to go for it today especially on a hilly day--you continue to inspire! Thanks for taking us along on your journey. Have a great day tomorrow!
I think I read Wild a long time ago but I've sort of forgotten about it. My favorite books about hiking are actually by Jack Kerouac. Desolation Angels, Dharma Bums, Big Sur are some examples. But truthfully it has been decades since I read those.
You reading the book “Where You’ll Find Me” gives me confidence that you are more equipped than meets the eye! I grew up in Portsmouth, NH! Loved the White Mountains. Best Wishes! 😎
In what ways does she seem ill equipped? She lives just south of the white mountains and has already completed the AT once before? Her equipment is dialed in and she calls a 13 mile day a ‘Nero.’ That just feels a little patronizing to me. She knows what she's doing.
Last June 2022, a male hiker died because of the winterish storm that came through the Whites. I had gotten a text from the weather forecast system. He actually was in contact with his family. But .....
Hey Taylor! Gotta love and early start! Nahamsha runs on Dunkin!😂 switchbacks are definitely speed bumps to bathroom breaks. Please keep the pit vipers! Meaningful gear just hits different. That bear cable was full! I am so close to switching to an ursack. it’s a luxury for sure, but might be with it. 🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well. -Grateful
As an interest in maybe doing this kind of thing one day, I was curious what the overall financial investment is. Also, one of my “excuses” was having to camp the whole time. Never thought of doing hostels. Guess show how much actual research I’ve put in hahah. Just found your channel a week ago and have been following ever since! Safe travels!
Switch backs seem to be a southern thing. You certainly don't get them much here in northern New England. South Twin is tough but there are tougher in the Whites like Carter Notch and especially the Wildcats out of Pinkham Notch. They build trails here strait up! You will find "Wild" hilarious, "How NOT to go Backpacking".
Happy trails! You are heading to my hometown of Erwin! So if you need any transportation there my cousin does hiker transports full-time. Just ask around for Doug lynch at Johnny's or local hikers. Take in the beauty of the Nokichucky river and USA raft area 😊
@@iceaxe56 lol the whole story is way different. So what happened was, the town of Kingsport TN had a circus elephant that killed a human. They didn't have any equipment large enough to euthanize the elephant so they brought it to the Erwin train yard (not the bridge) and used a crane used for trains to hang it.
This is a "the book is better" post, but I encourage you to read 'A walk in the woods' by Bill Bryson. You have probably seen the movie, but trust me, the book is epic. It rekindled my love of hiking, and it did it with parts that were so funny I had tears running down my face.
Another great update, I was going to ask a question on the z packs tent but then pulled the pin on a Durston x mid pro 1 today - just got to hope customs don’t hammer me on tax when it arrives in the uk. Have a great day x 🇬🇧
Taylor where did you meet the solo outdoor adventure guys? I have been following them from the first day at springer. I thought you would catch them. I just watched his video and there you were. 3:08
@@TaylortheNahamshaHiker solo outdoor adventure is his Utube. He said he wanted to meet you and you were in the shuttle that picked him up. I enjoy your videos more than anyone else. Stay safe have fun.
what is your favorite dehydrated meal,the one you go to first if you have it? Do you carry any condiments like tabasco, salt, pepper to make the meals taste better or do you just want the calories? Wild is a great book!
I'm loving the book recommendations. Keep them coming!
Any of the books from C.S. Lewis's - The Space Trilogy. Prelandra is amazing, the protagonist Ransom is on a quest to another planet that is filled with all sorts of interesting floral, ivy and plush interesting vegetation. Some of the mass land areas float around through the seas.
I just listened to “Take a Hike” by Tim Hewitt. It’s a daily journal of “Paddler” and his nobo hike.
You’ve likely read it already, but The Last Traverse is a good read (listen) regarding preparedness in the Whites. (Also by Ty Gagne)
I don't have any "hiking" book recs but you might enjoy An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth by Chris Hadfield. Also would recommend Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir if you like science fiction. It is about a guy who is on a deep space exploration mission and he is the only crew member who survived deep sleep and still is trying to complete his original mission. Have fun!

love the question in the video technique ...that's a nice touch Taylor ..great idea
I love your sunglasses! They don’t look ridiculous. For some reason they completely work for you and now I want to know if they’d work for me 😂
Please keep wearing the Pit Vipers! It gives you badass vibe
I did not remember that pull out of Hot Springs...gosh it's over 2200' of elevation gainin the 1st 10 miles. You just power right up those Mtns...very impressive!

A suggested book to read, “A Walk for Sunshine”, byJeff Alt. It is Jeff’s AT through hike journey fundraising for the Sunshine community.

Like your new format. Now searching for a cookie. Keep the footsteps Nobo.👍
How are the flip flops and big toe socks working out for you? I don't love flip flops, but they look so much more packable than crocs.

Cheers to Hot Springs! Happy Trails!
Wild is good! You will like it!
The trails look so smooth compared to the rock and root of New England. Looks easier to multiple miles.
Another great video..thank you again for taking us along.
Taylor, if you haven't, the book Following Atticus by Tom Ryan is a fun one you might enjoy. 😊
Following Atticus is a good story about a man and dog in the whites
Those shades though 😎
Q&A question: How are your backpack and sleeping bag working out for you?
Have you heard or did any reading on Grandma Gatewood? Dixie from Homemade Wanderlust recommended and it is excellent. Very inspiring.
Highly recommend “Wild”! 👍
One of your best videos today.
Big love for ur day and thanks for sharing ,i look forward to your videos each day now ..
Great video. Thanks
Last June 2022, a male hiker died because of the winterish storm that came through the Whites. I had gotten a text from the weather forecast system. He actually was in contact with his family. But .....
May to October other than that I avoid the White Mountains and stick with the blue hills and other hiking trails in central to eastern MA.

Like your shades!
Question: While you were in the Smokys, Did you have to deal with the NPS rules on filming in National Parks?
Hi Taylor I have been following since 2021 from the U.K., I just wondered how fit and active you are off trail. Do you run, gym for example
🦋
Switch backs seem to be a southern thing. You certainly don't get them much here in northern New England. South Twin is tough but there are tougher in the Whites like Carter Notch and especially the Wildcats out of Pinkham Notch. They build trails here strait up! You will find "Wild" hilarious, "How NOT to go Backpacking".
I got Blind Man Walking on my Kindle that I’m reading next. It’s supposed to be a great book! Love your vlogs. Hopefully the weathers getting better.
Happy trails! You are heading to my hometown of Erwin! So if you need any transportation there my cousin does hiker transports full-time. Just ask around for Doug lynch at Johnny's or local hikers. Take in the beauty of the Nokichucky river and USA raft area 😊
@@iceaxe56 lol the whole story is way different. So what happened was, the town of Kingsport TN had a circus elephant that killed a human. They didn't have any equipment large enough to euthanize the elephant so they brought it to the Erwin train yard (not the bridge) and used a crane used for trains to hang it.
@S. M. Couldn't agree more it's definitely terrible. We don't support animals in captivity at all either, nor circuses.

Have you ever thought of doing the AT as a guide? I want to do the AT, and I have the equipment, but would feel more comfortable with a guide.
what is your favorite dehydrated meal,the one you go to first if you have it? Do you carry any condiments like tabasco, salt, pepper to make the meals taste better or do you just want the calories? Wild is a great book!
