Your videos are more "real life" than most. It's refreshing and it's nice to get as much trail experience on your videos that we are. And including the minutia like putting on the rain coat, this is what we need. The trail is beautiful and despite this, slick, over produced, music driven videos get old fast. Yours are awesome and it's nice to look forward to them. Glad you're well.
You should show us the meals because I'm always curious what packaged meals look like when they're made. It helps me decide which ones to get!
DITO :)
Your videos just keep getting better. Such thoroughness in your coverage, capturing everything from the awesome to the awful. It takes real courage to film the lows as well as the highs, the misery with the majestic, but that is exactly what future thru-hikers need to see. A thru-hike is no walk through Disney World, as some vlogs portray it, and to depict it that way is not realistic. Thanks for keeping it real. The bar of excellence in vlogging is being raised. Well done.
Here! I much rather be cold. it's way too hot in Georgia
You are looking more and more like the ‘prior to surgery’ Kelly👏 Also, I like the way you post the day’s stats at the end of each vlog. Thanks for taking us along.
You're a great motivator You are back on the trail and giving us your struggles and your victories You've motivated me to get out and hike all NH has to offer. I'm 57 Thank you
Hey! Fellow NH hiker here also in my "2nd 1/2 century" ;-) I see this is an older post, but I just learned about Kelly Hays the other day so I'm catching up. Hope you got some hikes in over the summer and maybe we'll bump into each other on the trail!
That bird was a black throated blue warbler. He just got back from the tropics. And the pink flower was a pink lady slipper. It's an orchid😊
Every day restores faith in humanity. Hike on👍
What a great view on the ridge line.
Totally enjoying your videos! Sending prayers 🙏 for your journey to Maine! Hike on!🙏🙂🌅
Congratulations on your first 15 miler. That is astonishing so soon after your surgery. Looks like the trail is allowing you to learn that when you think you can't.... you can. Grandma Gatewood would be proud of you.
Great job girl getting right back at it. Very inspiring.
So glad it’s all working out for you. You sound stronger and confident. You can do this!
Hey Kelly, I have been following your trails and tribulations.....I very much enjoy your edits and content. Keep it up. Get strong!
Good job Kelly. I'm glad you're feeling better and stronger.
You've never had that good trail magic until you've had my bear 🐻 scat stew!!!
Those clouds looked amazing! Beautiful shot of the trees when you pointed the camera up! So nice that kind people bring trail magic! You’ve got skills putting on that rain jacket. I had to rewind & watch a second time. 😆
Congratulations on your first 15+ mile day. It's obvious watching you that you're definitely getting your strength back. Hopefully Stephanie will get healed up and can rejoin you also.
Fun watch. Nice edits. I will gladly watch and support every video as you are giving the trail your best. 👍🏼
I'm really enjoying following your adventure! ❤
Been watching the hike so far, you are so strong and awesome, way to go Kelly!
Yes yes we're all OG with your channel 😎😍
Congrats on one week back on trail 💪 I always enjoy your videos and look forward to them every day 😊 take care 💪
You are doing great! So glad you are feeling good and getting stronger every day. I love your videos. I am rooting you on up here in Vermont! It can be chilly here in New England, even in midsummer, so keep some warm clothing around......and the weather changes minute to minute as you have already experienced. Looking forward to cheering you onward!,
So glad you are doing so good after your emergency surgery. Power of prayers! I hope your friend will be ok. Sending prayers to her also.
Congratulations on 15 miles
Kelly got her groove back:)
Yay! Another milestone. Good for you.
Congrats on your first 15 mile day. And on completing a week back on the trail. And nice choice you made at the fork! Awesome views.
Your doing great. Enjoy your hike and stay hydrated. Stay well and hike on.
Hey Kelly! Congrats on your longest day yet! Sorry about steph. She made the right decision. I will send all my happy thoughts her way. 50 in may is perfect! I agree on the choice to do the ridge! YOLO is right! Your story about the brothers sounds like a dead song! Very cool! Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well.
-Grateful
I worked in The Smokies as well as hiked and camped all through the southern appalachians, orographic lifting can dump rain, storms and hail in isolated areas at any time. Just watch the clouds building and pack prepared to get wet at some time! Unpredictably predictable.
Pray trail Steph is ok. The scenic route is awesome!! Great day!
Really enjoying your videos. I was just hiking the smokies section May 4 thru 7 and froze. I like the heat too! You are my people!
Congrats on doing it miles, that's awesome for being back after surgery. Hope trail Stephanie is doing well, update us if you can. Doing awesome thanks for sharing your journey
The little flowers on the moss when you got water was cool 👍
Glad to see you getting along OK 👌
There’s a lot of nice people in the world! Thanks for sharing them with us and thanks for the adventure! 🤙
Those views! Looks like it was a great day!
Good luck to yall and have some fun..
Keep rocking’ it!!! Good Stuff Kelly!👍😁🥾🥾🥾
Glad to see you making progress!!
I feel the same way about warm weather. After growing up in Texas, living in Florida for a year and moving to Oklahoma. I would prefer Florida weather over cold winters any day.
So glad your getting your strength back. Y’all are very brave camping near those graves. Sounds scary to me. Y’all be careful several hikers I follow have gotten that stomach virus or bacteria. Hope Stephanie gets better soon.
Great update! Keep on Hiking!
Never lose your sense of wonder. I loved this episode because you , Kelly, were genuinely in awe a few times. That view, and the hail that made you say, what the hail is going on here. So happy to see you back out on trail and loving it. Isn't God great? ;-)
Id rather be bundled up in zero degrees than backpacking in 100+
Weather in the mountains is a whole other animal. It can be freezing on one mountain, hailing on the next one, and sunny on the next one.
You poor guys are getting hammered with health issues early on. I was impressed that you went back out on trail after your emergency. I got Giardia once thirty years ago hiking in Costa Rica, lord I thought for sure I was going to die one night. Hope you guys press on and stay safe.
did Devils Fork to Allens Gap last Oct. nice section. the view from Howards Rock is amazing.
Good day! You’re getting your trail legs back. Be safe.
Congrats on the 15 mile day!
Thank you for sharing 9:10 with us.
Stay warm and be safe.
Great day and video. Really nice views. You are making good miles. Your pack looks fairly heavy… must be a full load of food and water. Have fun !!
The weather can be crazy unpredictable - we can go from sweltering in December in Queensland Australia, to freezing in parts of Victoria. We know to pack for Melbourne as if it's going to snow, no matter the time of year.
Hey Kelly always glad to see you . I'm glad you got 👌trail magic ✨. Hope you partner well be OK. The weather ☁️ can change on you quick.⭐ Have a wonderful time 😊 Ken NC
Really enjoy your AT videos! Glad your doing so well after surgery 😊 What’s the neck knife you carry? I also carry neck knife, CRKT Minimalist Bowie🤪
You are in an area that has norovirus many years. Water filters do not take out all viruses. Good Luck, Rick
Hey there Kelly you are hilarious out there have fun and be safe out there
I swear you have a hater that just waits for you to upload a video so they can thumbs down it. So annoying. But I guess that means you made it! They’re your biggest fan!
So many giving people just awesome
Cool, you said supper. Love it.
Kelly, when Quicksand, a thru hiker came through there he pitched his tent right beside the grave stones and camped there.
Good video with lots of good views, so let's keep on hiking 🚶♀️😀👏👍
Best line of video: " check out all this beautiful moss" ... I only say it's the best line cause every time I take my wife hiking, she says exactly the same thing.
If you want heat then I suggest you do the AZ trail in the summer time…. The Arizona desert gets really hot!
In 2019 it got to 33 degrees at icewater springs in Smokies in June.
Don’t worry it’s 96 degrees this weekend here in NJ the heat awaits you when you get up this way!
FRUIT as trail magic is the BEST.
Agree. I always hone in on the fruit salad Fresh Ground usually has on the table. Forget the blueberry pancakes let me at that fruit !
I laughed when you filmed walking uphill and ran out of breath.
Omg 360 view beautiful
If you cannot talk, it is a sign that your heart rate is at its maximum healthy rate. Walking is a cardio exercise, so if you cannot talk, it is good! But not for too long!
Lol shoot it just snowed in Tahoe. And like you said. It’s may 😂🤣😂
Woot 15!
Kelly, Happy, who is hiking out beyond you came across a rattlesnake lying on a rock right on the trail. The weather has warmed so the snakes are out. The snake was just a few miles before the VA/WV border. Please be careful
TBH I was more worried about Stephanie getting some antibiotics for her stomach than I am about you. You're doing good. Listening to your body and taking it slowly. To me, if stomach upset, vomiting and diarrhea lasts more than 24 hours you should find out what is causing it. Being on the trail and hiking you need to keep food and fluids down so your body doesn't dehydrate and you have the energy to continue. Hope she's on the mend now. Good luck to all.
Hello from France 😜
Hail no @ 6:45. Awesome views @ 9:45. Awesome hair @ 13:00
It's good that you took the high scenic route. Just look at what you would have missed.
When you showed that piece of hail in the palm of your hand I could see you have a very long life line 😁👍
New sub here, love your videos!
Enjoy....
Kelly might be the first person to conclude a Civil War tidbit with "I hope I'm not sleeping on top of him". 😄
Well done from the uk debs
Omg .... actually, best line of video is: "Hopefully, I'm not sleeping on top of him". Come on, that was so freaking funny.
@@markcummings6856 oh really ... thanks for the heads up .. they are starting late but both of them are big mile hikers. I can see them knocking it out in 100 days.
Beautiful picture at 9:14
You look exhausted. Please take your rest.
Congrats ! Progress...and THAT's why you take the ridgeline trail... lol
Every day you kept saying Stephanie’s stomach is bothering her and every day I would think, hm, sounds like a parasite or norovirus. 😬 Glad she’s finally getting that looked at, hope she’ll be okay!
Big but pass innnnnndeed!!! :p
LOrd mercy iam having a issue myself i hate the cold intill iam so hot and sticky i cant sleep lol
The one common complaint I’ve seen in most of the AT videos is that nearly everyone freezes for the first few weeks.
Yay 😀🎉🎉🎉🎉
👍
How is Hank with Stephane heading to ER?
I hadn't thought of giardia when you've mentioned Stephanie's stomach problems. Makes sense based on the symptoms. I first heard of giardia years ago with regards to beavers crapping in the lakes in Canada and then fishermen dipping their mugs in the lakes. They said the stomach cramping comes and goes really bad along with all of the other problems. Good thing she's going in to get checked out.
Ha ha ha…I love it! YOLO!
How are the new shoes working out for you?
Love my shoes so much! I’ll do a review on them in an upcoming video and talk about them!
Thanks for not taking the bypass.
6:31 😯😆
How do you know about all these hostels, shuttles and camping spots. Is there a book or a website that you get all this information from!
there’s a hiker app called Guthook which has a lot of the info
A lot also carry AWOL guidebook. Shows the terrain, water sources, camping and shelters, maps of trail towns, restaurants, hostels, shuttle services, etc. Some carry the book and use GutHooks app. People can comment and leave updates on GutHooks.
Thanks for info!
I use guthooks and the awol guide!
@@kellyhays23 I have the AWOL guidebook for 2017 when I section hiked. I don't own a cell phone yet but will buy one for my next hike so I can get Guthooks, too. With both that's all the info you really need. Working on what to use to video. I ruined a $500 zoom lens due to rain. I carried a DSLR (camera is ok - lens not working anymore) and a Go-Pro. Trying to go lighter with the camera gear and maybe get a waterproof one. Looking into it. I've never used a camera on a cell phone before. I like doing close ups so that's part of the consideration.
😊💖🐶🐶
Lol. YOLO!!
Amen girl I’d rather be hot then freezing too
