Yep. We have crappy days in our normal life at home, those feelings are magnified in the forest. But, forest or home we keep going.
When you spill something or drop an egg you say oops, that sucks and leave it at that. No dwelling just clean it up. Never beat yourself up for small things. Happens to everyone.
I think the today's section answers the question "how do you know there was a mountain climber on the trail route committee? What a climb that was but what a view! Glad the day ended on a much better vibe than it started. 🙂
No matter what always remember that We Love You 💌 and we are rooting for you and praying for you. You are so Awesome
Gadget, you are really amazing! If you think about your early days and how everything was a daunting task and everything hurt and you were miserable. But, look t you now! Crushing the mileage, loving the rock scrambles and finding joy in everything. You are SO tough.
drive thru the Palmerton gap daily amazes me how hikers come down one mountain and make it up the other safe hiking
You had quite a rough start today, but what away to turn things around! You can conquer anything. Keep going! ❤
Nothing a good rain wouldn't clean up! One mile at a time. This too shall pass.... keep on keepin on...
When I feel like this, I just get myself up and eat…then make another decision…❤
Aww, Gadget I feel so bad for the bad day you had here. But remember that so many of us are following along and rooting for you! We all have good days and bad days, we just need to remember that tomorrow is another day with brand new opportunities. Not feeling it today? That's fine, hike your own hike. This journey is yours and yours alone. I follow your whole tramily and love you all in your own way but if you need something for yourself don't be worried about. Hike your own hike. ❤
If I may. Modern trails for hiking are not the same as walking trails for civilisations of centuries past. Walking trails for the joy of sport and meditation, for the spirit if not the direct experience of God, a rare moment for humanity. Walking trails for interstate commerce unheard of today. Walking across America with no time management having to be coordinated relieves us of the pressure of having to arrive before the weather of the season sets in. Here we are and having arrived, a sense of gratitude for having nourished💚 the art of walking.
Stop in the next Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc. and buy just a cotton sheet. It's light, not bulky and will not heat you up on hot nights. When it gets colder, toss it in the garbage.
The trail is 10% physical and 90% mental Mel. Take a zero at or in a shelter, or in town. Get your head together about the hike and for a few days, do shorter mile days............and better sleep.
You are going to love the Whites!
Hike safe, Hike strong, Have FUN!

Those rocks are scary.
Get with your tramfamily.
Totally gotcha on the headache/ anxiety/tired/clumsy stuff- can be discouraging when you have miles of rough terrain to get through. I get the feeling that you don’t like bicycles but the idea of bike packing looks pretty good after seeing the rocky parts of the trail. I like the idea of the rail trails that are accessible to all but motor vehicles! Fish hooks in dog treats- that is pure evil at work here - we live in a world of both beauty and pure evil- scary sometimes! You’re up to the challenge, but take breaks as needed. Hopefully you’ll have some water cashes in the right spots. Good luck. 🧘🏼🌱🚴🏼♂️🌿🙏
I know you're in NYC right now but can you put some KT or duct tape over your right side chest strap clip? When you put headphones in the microphone on the headset hits it and pops with every step. The plugin switches your mic to headset. It might be why you sound so far away in the 32:00 mark. The scrambling spider is a Wolf Spider. You'd be surprised how large they get.
You can back flush your filter you know.
You got this, you're tough, smart, and stong.
Really rough start to the day...glad you felt better as the day went on. 87 seems pretty hot! Hope you can get everything washed & start back without the smell of coffee. Take care. Happy trails!😢😢 👣
Speaking of AT throwing Loops! When you come through MA, after coming down from Greylock, in Williamstown. There are 2 SEGEMENTS of trial through town. One takes you to the Parking Lot on Rt2 the other takes you Parrallel on Massechusetts Ave on the other side fo the Hoosic River... That will have you walking in Circles too! The AT goes up someones Driveway from Massechusetts Ave! It's a "Fun" game of where's the Trail!
Keep going you can do it......
I've managed to fall 10 days behind again, so you might not see this comment, but I just have to say how incredible it is that you persevered through/across all those rocks! Good grief! Still enjoying your sense of wonder and your greetings for the critters. I'll catch up with you soon - so to speak...
When you showed us those rocks I was like…..what in the world!!!!!
Why but why do you have to trek on sharp rocks……..?? For fun🤷🏻♀️
Nice video. just a note on dirt, the human body is self cleaning after about 2 weeks you can not get any dirtier, and not washing your hair for 8 weeks will give you the best hair you have ever had, just rinse through with water no chemicals.
If you’re tired all the time, and you’re experiencing a big mood drop you could very well be malnourished. Please try and eat more, more calories, olive oil on everything. A drop in mood and poor sleep are signs of malnutrition.
Damn girl you KILLED it today! ❤
Way to overcome such a shite morning!!!
I can hear the mourning doves cooing as you get out of your tent. Just sayin'.
Outstanding video overall your rock climbing was very entertaining with your many expressions and views.
YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF 👣💕
🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪 you got this girl…🥾🥾🥾
Just take a week off. Go to a city. You'll miss where you are at. Please trust me.
You got this. We all want to quit. It's what you do after thinking about quitting. Just keep going. It'll all. make sense.
The AT is a 75% mental trail. You'll gain so much more by pushing on
Go home…the only one who really cares is you.
You are amazing
I’m a 1st time subscriber but I’ll definitely be following you. You got guts and I love your verbal reactions. Prayers for better sleep on trail. ❤😊
How did Soap get ahead of you? I realised too that when I was missing my friends I was at my worst mentally.
Try not to eat or drink nonwater in your tent.
Take care of pao pao
And if you get a pistol or bear mace keep it in your pocket
Anyone should be happy to be your hiking partner or tramily for even a day. I love your enthusiasm and respect for the plants and animals. Don't let the crazy day to day camping mishaps get you down. That's what everyone uses for "oh yeah, well beat this" storytime when we meet up in the trail towns. Take care!🏕
