Things that I LOVE about your Chanel. 1. You actually look AT the lense! (Oftentimes YTers look only at themselves) I think it draws the viewer in more! 👍 2. You don't play music over your voice or the natural noises of the trail, 🚶♀️which we all WANT to hear! 3. You mix things up with what you're showing! ( trail, talking, camp life 🏕ect!) 4. You're genuine! ( able to talk about mistakes, share in your joys, enjoy rain lol ect)! Enjoy the time you're out there, thank you for going through the WORK of filming, keep being smart and safe! (I'm a mom 👩💕) Thanks again Taylor for allowing us to follow along your journey!
Nothing but ❤️ to the countless unsung Trail Angels out there who offer up a little kindness and brighten one’s day. It means so much to a weary traveler 😊
Fun first day, I agree with Martin about your camp break down. Lots of hikers don't show any camp stuff. I like to see setups and breakdowns and just being at camp and cooking. That's how I learn. Thanks, Have fun.
I met Fresh Grounds at Gooch Gap this Spring and I feel honored. What a wonderful person. So cool. Good stuff, Nahamsha. Carry on. I'm on there with ya. This is Life.
Those trekking poles were looking pretty familiar and then I got a glimpse of the logo on the top. Thanks for listing all your gear. When things get tough out on the Finger Lakes Trail on my section hiked end-to-end, I'll think about you helping my along with my poles.
Wow, your first full day on trail and trail magic with the famous Fresh Ground! Great day outdoors...see the sunburn on your nose. You look sooooo HAPPY!
Hi Taylor, glad you stayed at Stover Creek Shelter. Stover is 'my' trail name. I chose it after finding our my son's nickname was Stover (First name: Russell, therefore Russell Stover - like the chocolate.). I learned about the shelter AFTER I took the trail name. Thought that was cool. Hope to run into you when you get to Maine.
Awesome that you were able to meet Fresh Ground! Would love to see more of the evening and morning chores. Thank you for allowing us to follow along on your journey.
Great first "official" day, Taylor. It was a cold one in Little Rhody, and super windy! I'm so happy for you having a picture-perfect launch day. Hitting the hostels early is a good way to meet some folks who aren't really ready to take on a long hike. You can become a helper for the novice, and share tips to help them have a pleasant and successful hike. Even back in '06, I was an older, experienced multi-season hiker and camper, having done a lot of winter hiking in the Whites, I thoroughly enjoyed being able to pass on some helpful tips that I had learned through the years. Have a wonderful journey!👍
You are a joy to watch! I appreciate that you remain chipper and steadfast although you were tired due to lack of sleep. True definition of a professional. I will be in barking on my own journey of the first couple of segments thanks to you. 🙏💯💪😁
Looks like an awesome first day!! Wow! Beautiful weather. I love hiking without leaves because you get all the views. Downside is the cold. You’ve got the best of both worlds there. Happy hiking!!
That taco looked so good!!!Glad you're enjoying it, wonderful views, Thanks for sharing, be safe. I could see the the blue ridge mountains in the distance coming home from work today, and i whispered a prayer for you. Lord keep Nahamsha safe.....
Wow Taylor ( Nahamsha ) what a great second Day of hiking you had trail magic, Beautiful views, and nice warm weather, what more can you ask for. Todd and Lisa
Great to see you on your way again, and what a day it turned out to be! Thanks for letting me tag along, and for including things like the insole tip, instead of taking the safer route of not mentioning it.
Wow!! What a fabulous first official day on trail - encountering beautiful weather and Fresh Ground! So happy for you to be back on the AT again heading north! 😀
Wow that's pretty cool meeting fresh ground and seeing the inside of the van. Moving right along too. Amazing views. My days coming and I look so very forward to hiking the AT. Thank you for posting
I haven't had the pleasure to meet Fresh Grounds, last September in the 100 Mile Wilderness ran into trail angel Iceman that was a blessing. Thanks to all Trail Angels!
Looks like your doing great. A large group of hikers just in front of you which you probably know already. Great video, thank you. Stay well and hike on.
The sleep problem sounds like your pad isn't thick enough. You are doing great. Several thru hikers have said that they were having strange dreams at the beginning of the trail. Glad that you met FG and got tacos. Have fun. Good Luck, Rick
hiii, i literally just got done watching your “going home” AT 2020, so now i’m ready to watch you get back out there and take back your journey!! you’re super inspiring and have such a light about you. wishing you luck girl 🤍
Very cool vid. The taco thing in the middle of nowhere is funny...we dont have this here in Europe. Good hike and good luck! Your vids are very inspiring. Thx
Would you consider showing us your full morn routine on trail like you started this one but fuller - from the inside the tent packing of the pack through step off... ? Your videos are AWESOME Taylor! Excited to watch your hike all the way to your summit!!!
Wow Fresh Ground is a G! What a cool dude. The views you shared at 12:00 and after were absolutely stunning. This was such a fun video to watch so happy you're doing your thing back on trail.
What a great first day on trail! On the first night's tossing and turning -- this is an experience I commonly have on the first night out of a multi-night trip. I just chalk it up to being accustomed to a bed and needing to adapt to a new sleeping situation. I'm sure if you keep up the 18-mile days you will be asleep before your head hits the pillow. Also, congrats on timing the weather well!
Wow that’s so neat you got to see fresh ground the first day. Love the video. Also wonderful listening to the sound of nature. Those streams are amazing 🤩
Every time I see folks inside Fresh Grounds' van I look for my signature - maybe some day I'll spot it :). "Slow Up" - So glad you are back out and about - looking forward to your trip through NC
Wow, what a day!!! And it's only Day 1. You are lucky seeing Fresh Ground. Like you said, last year you never saw him. I made a donation to his 2021 fund and I'm really hoping I run into him at some point. Let us know how you liked the hostel. Today the weather was PERFECT. It looked like a perfect temperature for shorts and just a light top while hiking. John from MI
My husband is so excited to see you this year. We were following you last year till, you know what.....I'm planning to hike he will support, but he send his support to you now!
Taylor, so happy you are back on trail! I followed you on last year’s shortened thru hike and I look forward to watching your adventure. Great to see you meet Fresh Grounds! What a great guy he is!
Anyone rocking a Survivor buff... I am subscribing to. Saw your video from Chica and Sunsets and just started here. I will be caught up quickly. Looking forward to watching your journey. Stay safe and stay strong. All the best. Jack NYC
Amazing weather and way to go "Fresh Ground".! You must be in very good shape as your pack appears to weigh at least 40 pounds with all your supplies. As for sleeping problems...try a smidge less air in your sleeping pad. Worth a try.
@@ononewheel7 I saw your garage. If you replace the wheels and motorcycle gear with hiking,camping, fishing, kayaks, and tools then my garage is not nearly as organized as yours. 🏍
Nice start! I am digging your microgrid, is it a melly? I hope I am able to grab one from their new lottery system, fingers crossed! Seeing FG on day one is some awesome magic. It never gets old seeing all the names in the van. When it dies, the ATC should buy it for the museum as a true piece of AT history. Thanks again for another great video. keep truckin and be well. -Grateful
Great start to your video journey...so glad Im not the only one that put inserts into my Altras with the original insert still inside....glad you enjoyed FreshGrounds...I am a FG supporter...

I agree wholeheartedly with Ronny! Daily life stuff on the trail is what I’ve been looking for and you do it. Thanks for making it real. 👍🏼
Who else is so excited for these to start up again!!!!

That van needs to be on display at the AT conservancy when Fresh Ground retires or get a new van.
Agreed!

FRESH GROUND!! He is THE trail angel. So glad you got to experience his hospitality. You’re doing great! Stay safe and hike on!
Nothing like trail Magic to brighten your day. Good luck
Like to see scenes of ‘camp life’ at the beginnings and end of the day. Hikers have recently gotten away from that but always enjoy those aspects!👍
I saw Frozen’s name on the van. He is who got me started watching hikers.
Fun first day, I agree with Martin about your camp break down. Lots of hikers don't show any camp stuff. I like to see setups and breakdowns and just being at camp and cooking. That's how I learn. Thanks, Have fun.

I’m glad Fresh remembered Pee Wee. She did a great job with her videos. That was a very good year for AT vlogs.
I've never heard of Fresh Ground. That's really cool that he has all the names of hikers he's encountered.
Wow, your first full day on trail and trail magic with the famous Fresh Ground! Great day outdoors...see the sunburn on your nose. You look sooooo HAPPY!

Fresh Ground the man, the myth, the legend. Great guy and food.
Fresh Ground food AND shuttle service. What a great way to start this year’s journey.
Great weather, Fresh Grounds and Taco Tuesday! Glorious. Hike on👍

Maybe the best first day I seen with anybody. I think you going to have a great hike. Good things happen to good people. 👍😃
It is nice to see a nice sunny day on the trail.
Walking with Angels....the story of the AT...FG I'd say is a big fan of your channel.
Glad the weather improved. Looks like it was perfect hiking conditions.
Great start to your hike! Thanks for showing your morning breakdown, I am watching and learning! Happy trails !
I am amazed at all the places and things he does for hikers.
Fantastic first day...hike on! And thank you!

I'm sure that watching spring slowly come to the mountains as you hike will be a cool experience.
Wow!! What a fabulous first official day on trail - encountering beautiful weather and Fresh Ground! So happy for you to be back on the AT again heading north! 😀

Really enjoyed your video today, Fresh Ground really is the King of all the Trail Magicians! Also loved the views of the many streams you crossed.
So glad you got started again. Congratulations and we'll be following.
Very cool you got to meet Fresh ground 👍
I hope he's still doing it when we get to do the AT

Hey! Another Ocean Stater! Cool! I'll be heading to Amicalola in late April for a long section hike to finish it after nearly 30 years.

so ya finally got to meet FreshGround!! another milestone for Taylor, cool!! your filming keeps getting better & better. be safe!!

Frozen! He is from Pittsburgh. Togs and Murica were his buds on the trail. I recognized all those names around his. His channel is outdoor adventures.
Wow that’s so neat you got to see fresh ground the first day. Love the video. Also wonderful listening to the sound of nature. Those streams are amazing 🤩
Having fun following your progress on the AWOL (paper) trail map, and seeing familiar sites. Best wishes.
