Looking for some nice company and beautiful sights. I'm almost 68 and have wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail for the past 10 years, but my lovely wife, Pam, passed away into Christ's Rest, so I'm taking care of our 26 year old Autistic Daughter....who is a loving gift for God....just as her mother was! The best I can do is watch and enjoy! God bless and good luck. So far, I'm really liking what I see! Thank-you
Awesome video! Gold Bond and beer what a combination, sounds like a country song. Keep meandering North and enjoy your journey. When you start missing the Maine food, let me know I'll send you some Amato's, whoopie pie from Steves bakery, ship some fresh lobster from Gilberts. Great start to an amazing journey. Mid Coast Maine following Lighthouse, nothing better.🙋♂️👻🌞🥾🌲🏕
Wholesome asf. This is what youtube should be all about. Looking forward to watching these and catching up to day 29. You guys are lucky to live in such a beautiful country. Unfortunately I can't fly there due to the restrictions still in place. One day
Awesome! You met Yukon Rasputon and (Jason "happy hippie" hiking with Dalton ashes from journey of two ) I know them! They are such sweet souls! I'm so happy you met them. What a treat! I'm sure they were happy to meet you as well...
HE IS BACK!!!!! Great to see you back on the AT. ALWAYS enjoy your videos. Looking forward to following you again. Thanks for sharing. Stay Safe and HIKE ON!!!!
Hey man, that's so cool that you've already hiked to Katahdin once already a couple years ago 👍👍 and doing it again. Dang!!! This fellow New Englander from Vermont has really been wanting to take on that trek for a few years now. Maybe someday soon I will get to do it. Lots of beforehand planning is essential financially and sanely and I would want to accomplish that trip some year. Just subbed and I look forward to updates on your journey back homeland bound. Enjoy, and lots of happy safe footsteps to you. 💚✌️🍀
Great to see you back on the A.T. again. Followed you in 2021 and really enjoyed it. 50 years ago on April 1st, my uncle began his "end to end" hike. We finished on Katahdin Oct 3 of that year. Congrats to you and Ga>Me on!
Thank you for the soda, it was very much appreciated! Hope to see you again along the trail, if you're in Maine again make sure and give me a shout and I'll repay the trail magic!
Good to see you on the trail again. I’m missing it. We just moved to northern Oregon up in the blue mountains about 4500 ft and am enjoying the snow. Have several trails near by can’t wait to do trail maintenance on them. Glad you found a good spot for first night of camp. “Ranger”
So glad to see your videos back up. I get to walk the AT vicariously again. I'll be 60 before I get a chance to go hiking again, and it will probably be beyond me then, so this is as close as I'll get.
Happy to see you back on the trail, walking home. I loved your introductory video a few weeks ago. Maybe you could link it for those that missed it? It was so clever, so funny and so well edited I just couldn't have loved it more. Good luck to you on this adventure.
Glad to see you back on the trail! This time, when you get in the vicinity of Devil’s Backbone, reach out - I would love to have the opportunity to treat you to a beer there!
Hey! How many hours do you hike each day and how often do you take a break? I have seen much about pacing yourself, and it seems that slowing down is the key....
If you mean the one on my announcement video it was a song sung by Ben Bostick, "work, sleep, repeat". Thank you for the question and for following along, it's greatly appreciated!
I am going to watch the whole thru hike as I do like the Shaker videos.

PS…your beard looks really majestic!
Slightly shorter now so it can't get the full blowing in the breeze effect, but hopefully by mid Virginia LOL
That was awesome. It was a pleasure meeting you. The chicken was amazing that evening.
Thank you for the soda, it was very much appreciated! Hope to see you again along the trail, if you're in Maine again make sure and give me a shout and I'll repay the trail magic!
You kept to your promise...so glad that you're back on trail. Central Massachusetts is getting 12-18 inches of snow on Tuesday !!!
Good to see you on the trail again. I’m missing it. We just moved to northern Oregon up in the blue mountains about 4500 ft and am enjoying the snow. Have several trails near by can’t wait to do trail maintenance on them. Glad you found a good spot for first night of camp. “Ranger”
Holy crap you’re doing it again!! I followed you on the AT last time and I’ll follow you again. I like how you do your videos.
Wish I was there! You look great ! Love the video….❤
Great to see you back on trail!
Great to see you back on the AT! Love your videos!!
Yea! Your back!
Great to see you back out there! You sure do have a positive attitude!
So glad to see your videos back up. I get to walk the AT vicariously again. I'll be 60 before I get a chance to go hiking again, and it will probably be beyond me then, so this is as close as I'll get.
60 is nowhere near too old! Hope you can get out here and enjoy it! Thank you for following along and commenting, it's appreciated!

Happy to see you back on the trail, walking home. I loved your introductory video a few weeks ago. Maybe you could link it for those that missed it? It was so clever, so funny and so well edited I just couldn't have loved it more. Good luck to you on this adventure.
Thank you, I appreciate it! I had fun putting it together!
Ya didn't trip in the snow and teleport to springer this time!
Lol, not this time - although I thought about it!
Made it. Be watching you head homeward bound
Good to see the Cricket (?) out and about again :)
It is another Mountain Laurel Designs Cricket Tarp, although I kind of miss my camo one......
😊👍
Glad to see you back on the trail! This time, when you get in the vicinity of Devil’s Backbone, reach out - I would love to have the opportunity to treat you to a beer there!
I really want to hit the devil's backbone brewery this time through...... And certainly wouldn't pass up a ride in! I appreciate the offer!
@@ShakerHikes Hopefully your timeline matches up with my work schedule! Keep me posted as you get close and I'll do my best to arrange it!
Where do you use gold bond powder?
Great seeing you again. Which pack are you using this time?
I found the answer in episode 2. You must be really lite with a frameless pack.
It's an MLD Exodus pack. Thank you for the question and the following along, I appreciate it!
Hey! How many hours do you hike each day and how often do you take a break? I have seen much about pacing yourself, and it seems that slowing down is the key....
Finally.....what no Crown 👑 Royal. 😂
It's in the pack, and makes an appearance in episode 3! LOL
Thank you for watching and following along, I appreciate it!
@@ShakerHikes Thanks for the heads up ....Joanne and I will be watching. We can bring you some more when you arrive at Mt. Greylock !!
You’re gonna need more toilet paper than that! Great news that you’re goin again!!
Hey who sang that intro song?
If you mean the one on my announcement video it was a song sung by Ben Bostick, "work, sleep, repeat".
Thank you for the question and for following along, it's greatly appreciated!
Yeah! He's back. Let the swearing begin. Only joking, of course. But I may repeat my drinking game.
Glad to see you back on trail. Enjoyed your clips whole on the cdt. Stay safe, strong and healthy.
So excited to see you back on the AT. I will follow you just as I did on your previous AT adventure! Safe travels.
