    Considering the knee issues you suffered early on as well as your backstory, this ending to your thru-hike has been the most satisfying and inspiring one I've watched to date.

    All I can say is Wow! Been a subscriber since day one. Never missed an episode. I have watched many AT you tubers since 2020. Yours have been the most amazing. I felt like it was the first time I have actually seen this trail. You really have a gift for filming and editing. I know it's not over but congratulations on summiting Katahdin. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.

    Congratulations on a spectacular finish and realistic perspective of what the trek up the Hunt trail is really like. Getting the K summit all to yourself, even just for a few minutes, must have been an amazing feeling. And a bonus ending with some great footage of the Knife’s edge. Epic day that was well deserved. Thank you for sharing it with us.

    CONGRATULATIONS! "What a long strange trip it's been." Amazing videography and editing. It's hard to imagine the time you must have put in every day to create these amazing videos. Thanks! You have helped to keep my head together while 2 kinds of leukemia and their treatments have kept me off the long trails for 2 years, but hopefully not for much longer. Looking forward to you mop-up tour of the Smokies. "The road ahead leads ever on, down from my door where it began, to where many paths and errand meet." JRR Tolkien. Thanks again, Voyageur

    That was an amazing summit. I watched it on my 75" tv, and it was like I was watching a documentary. Very cool. And fantastic video work. I couldn't watch you cross the Knifes Edge, though.🫣 The heights were too much, especially with you walking across it. Eshhh😮

So determined. So brave. So honest. We will be going southbound with you the whole way. Keeping you in our prayers. Being spoiled by your videography… And I mean seriously spoiled! Never have I ever seen footage like this of the AT!
    I love how you saved that certain segment of your music for the top. The knife edge extra was intense! Thank you, Captain! From the bottom of mine and my family’s hearts…THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! …and a resounding

    SO HAPPY FOR YOU, Paul !!! Reached and GOT IT !!
    You CAN'T do THAT in Louisiana !!
    A KNARLY trail path...in every sense of the word !
    At 9:20 in...GREAT backdrop sequence. God favored you with GREAT weather and view range !
    Whoaa! - at 14:28, you TRIGGERED my Vertigo response ! Capturing the flowers variety growing on Katahdin, along the way, was a nice touch.
    Oh, no you didn't ! I thought much earlier, they way he hikes, carrying that Phone camera in one hand...if he takes that "Knife Edge" down, I may not be able to stand it ! I had to turn the video off and take a break, before watching that. At 26:15 - NICE !
    Lord, if I ever tried that route, I'd be "assholes and elbows" with 4 points of contact at all times !
    Uhh...scratch that....at 26:22 - HELL NAW ! No way...nuh-uhh.

As the father of an addicted son in his mid 40's, I sincerely hope and pray, that y'all get it behind you, so you can enjoy the last half of your life soberly. You are good men, and this country needs good men. Now, go do the Smokies and post us some videos. Thanks again for the great adventure. Kanati, AT 08.
