Packing in cold and rainy weather has two big advantages: Firstly, you can figure out how many swear words you know and secondly, it is character building if you don't say them.
That wasn't the stars aligning, that was your Mom moving heaven and earth, Kelly! Glad it worked out
Hearing the rain on your tent makes me wanna go back to bed.
great video! I dont understand why so many people are worried about how they have to hike the trail. If you slack pack or take a zero day or whatever, it still does not take away from the fact that you are doing something amazing for yourself. Great job Kelly, hope your friend gets better. Be proud of yourself period!
Agree totally Jennifer!! This is a journey of a lifetime. An adventure! It really drives me nuts how some people try to impose "rules" on how it should be done. I would love to see a rule book for hiking/backpacking. Oh wait....I don't think there is one....lol!!! Take care!
@@texashikeaholicsadventures5651 "Purists" that carry smart phones and all modern technology! :-) Walk it like Benton McKaye I say! :-)
We just sent you a little something to hopefully help offset some of your slack packing costs. We can't do trail magic in person, so this is the next best thing!! God Bless and keep safe!!
Aw, I loved Huck's poncho!!! 🐾🐾
Kates a legend, she seems cool af
We all need a friend like Kate
I love how KIND the people you’ve encountered have been
Mom saves the day! Hope Stephanie is okay & can catch up with you guys!
Always expect the unexpected your hiking the A.T. and it's a never ending adventure.
The start of this video should be mandatory viewing for anyone considering the AT. It truly captures what the conditions can be like. Bummer that Hemlock Hollow was closed. Was one of my favorite hostels on the AT. Only bad part was the walk past the hillbilly farm with lots of pit bulls and rebel flags on the way to the hostel.
Hey Kelly.. Excellent video showing the realities of trail life where you're always adjusting and yet you never get adjusted. One day warm and dry; next day cold and wet. It's learning to flow with the trail instead of fighting it that gets one to Katahdin. The trail doesn't adjust to the hiker; the hiker must adjust to the trail, and the way all of you started out cold with everything wet illustrates that. Loved the thorough editing too, and the hostel tour was great. Keep pushing north, one step at a time... one day at a time!
" Adventures with Kelly!" Prayers for Steph. The AT is unpredictable. Stay positive, you and Steph are both awesome!!
I just subscribed to your channel. The husband wants to do this trip next year. Love your tent. Talking him into something similar. Your gear video helped him (me) the most.
Morning Kelly! You know it has to said at least once, no pain, no rain, no Maine! Your gear looks like it's holding up well so far, nothing like a good puffy and rain jacket! Very nice lunch, KH Italian ramen! Such a funny rescue story! Thank you momma Kelly and thank you Kate! "Why put in a boxwood thats never going to do anything with its life” damn that’s deep. Reminds me of “if you plant ice you will harvest wind”. Very awesome second shelter, I need to add that to the list. I hope Stephanie feels better soon, and you don’t need to spilt up. If you do I am sure you can meet up again. I think slack packing will be good if you can swing it. I will try to send you a little miracle over on Venmo later. Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well.
-Grateful
I hope stepahie gets better and keeps going. Yall are doing it. Keep positive and believe in HIM and hell never let you down..
If she has Norovirus, somebody else is getting it. That stuff is super contagious. Hoping everything worked out and all of yall are feeling healthy.
The trail provides! What an adventure! Keep on hiking!
We also had a very very cold night on our wild camping which I recently shared on my channel :)) Weather is unpredictable
Overcoming adversity, good on you. Love your videos!!
I've watched a few other through hikers on other trails but I now know that if I ever got a chance this would be the one I want to do because no desert conditions to start off the hike. Hope your friend feels better soon. Randomly found your surgery video and have now binge watched the start of the hike to your current video.
Life on the AT, great update! Hope Steph gets better soon!
Hello Kelly, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this adventurous video. The very best to you. Please stay healthy out there. 🤗
Love your videos. The AT is the hardest of the three. I’m disabled but went to the start of the PCT and walked the first 5 miles was so happy. I have hiked the PCT. keep going.
Love you California Joanna
Good job Kelly
Awesome update. Hope all ends up good.👍🌲
Great video ......proving again, the trail provides
Wishing you and the tramily all the best!
So glad it worked out with the pick up. I don't blame you for being hesitant at first. Be careful. I'm in NC but never been on those trails.
Huck needs a pack ! The trail provides..
Love your videos!
Crazy adventure! Wow! 🤙
Great video, a long, rough day to be sure. God's in control and He knows what's going to happen, yall are awesome, I know these are on a delay so I look forward to hearing how things work out, will be praying for Stephanie and yall for safety and a smooth trail
I recently came across these experience’s you have been sharing and have been moved to thank you and let you know you have one more prayer to help along your recovery and journey. As a fellow CDT backpacker who went thru a similar experience with my appendix, I encourage you to stick with it, especially those doubting thoughts in your tent at night, they will subside. Hope to cross paths with you someday and share some stories and sharp cheddar with you:)
Your eyes slay me!! Keep on keeping on life's a garden dig it!! No rain no pain no maine!
Those dryad saddle aka Pheasantback mushrooms are my favorite ones to eat! Only eat them if they are smaller than a dinner plate. When you cut them they smell like melon. Enjoying your perspective of the trail.
Good luck out there everyone!
Nice video, I hope you and your friends are doing good and feeling better.
Listening to the rain there, while its raining here.
Looks like you guys had a crazy time, I would be sketched out too 😂😂
Trail magic at it's finest.
Wow the sat phones are a must.
great blog! thank you for bring us along. looks like your healing well. build up slowly. stay in the present moment.enjoy
many blessings peace and joy. Buen Camino, Asta Luego The MTS Are Calling I must Go.
You can look into getting a Snugpak special forces bivvy bag that is basically a raiin and windproof cover for your sleeping bag but you can use it on nights not as cold too. And they pack down to almost nothing.
I wish my buddies and I did that after we got out of the Marine Corps. when we had less in life to take care of.
I still need to buy a reflective heat survival blanket for my bugout bag.
K8!!! I got a shuttle from her from Max Patch back to Hot Springs, she is a great person!
Yessss!!!! She’s a local hero hahah
Seems like some days are just meant for flying by the seat of your pants. Kate the great swooped in and saved the day. I hope that Stephanie gets better and slacking sounds like a good idea. Blessings to you all. Warmer weather is on the way. PEACE.
What a foggy day for sure!!! Thank you for recording anyways, we gone to places and think that it will not be a good video cause of the weather and we just don’t record, but have wasted so many trips though
Your an absolute icon , I inspire to be like you
Oyster mushrooms at 2:12. Very tasty when sauteed with butter!
Man i hope your hiking buddy starts to feel better. What happened you was scary enough no more repeat. Stay safe out there 😋
Sounds like your doing well which is great. Maybe Stephanie needs to see a doctor. Good luck with what your decide.
How do so many younger folks do this? I get it if you're retired but what job let's you of work for months at a time? I found this channel while looking for the trails in Mena Arkansas. I'd kill to do something like this!
What do you do with your tent when it’s soaked and you gotta hike on.
Is that a collapsible Nalgene pee bottle haha! Game changer, never go backpacking with out it! Killing the vids Kelly...hike on🤙
I wanted to ask this... As someone that gets super warm and comfy in my tent the idea of being able to stay in is weirdly thrilling
Yes it sure is and it was one of my favorite pieces of gear! I won’t go backpacking without it lol
@@kellyhays23 I so appreciate you!!
Kate is an Angel, 😇 take care, be safe Kelly 👍
Kate is good ole country folk! but good for you Kelly being leery at first, your brain is your best defense.
Praise Jesus... Glory to God....He sent an earth 😇😇🌎 to help you guys. God is good all the time.
This weather has been insane, especially how cold it has been in that part of the country. In May! I just canceled a motorcycle trip last week to the southeast because of all of the bad weather. Went hiking in the Black Hills instead. It was warmer and nicer there than in the South. Crazy!
Definitely a very cold and rainy spring this year in the Southeast. Hopefully Fall makes up for it.
12:45 - 🔥😀
Doing the slog. ✌️👊
The lord will provide
You got this! Just roll with it, the good and the bad! Jesus is walking with you!
The ponchos over the packs look uncomfortable but I'm sure it's just fine ... right ?
Nice video, with little views, so let's keep on hiking 🚶♀️😀
Your face expression looks much more light and calm today !!! 🤔 pizza is involved in part of this, maybe.. 😜 keep focus, plan ahead and enjoy as much as possible each single day of Life experience !!! Blue Skies 🤙✨🌄
Probably a dumb question but I’m not a hiker. What is slack packing?
Hiking a trail and leaving most of the gear somewhere to go do sections, getting a drop of and a pick up from the trial in the same day and going back to where u were at to ur stuff
day 12... embrace the suck... y'all keep on rockin!
Kate from Weaverville? My best friend lives in Buncombe County right near Madison County line . Small world. With a bad back and many other ailments. I would slack pack every chance I got.
Is the trip in present time?
What was this app that said the hostel was open? Do you recommend any apps etc.
Gut Hooks. Hikers can leave comments and updates. Someone needs to say that the hostel is closed to save hikers from walking there.
Kelly be sure to get some good proteins in you diet your body needs them especially due to your recent surgery. Take care
Remember......the trail always provide.....I’m following you on Instagram as well.....Duo AT18
Love your posts but honestly you dont look completely well yet from your surgery! Take your time and get 100%! Good luck on your journey and thank you for sharing it with us!
I had no idea what slack packing . It's the same as a sherpa. Someone who carries your shit for you. When I climbed Mt Renier WA and Mt DENALI. AK We didn't have anyone schlepping our gear for us.
Who ever when I attempted to climb Mt Everests. Sherpas are mandatory to hire.
How is it out there a little voice says wet n foggy =8)
Giardia?? Is she going to get checked?
Seems like you are running into some challenges since you have been back - maybe these challenges are before you so you don't over do it; know you want to make miles, but focus on the marathon not the sprint. You and your team are doing great, take it one step at a time; get everyone healed.
That nalgene bottle full of pee 😂
U need to go 0R stop according to how u REALLY feel...the trail will WAIT 4u
That looks miserable
How do your viewers support your hike? I'm good for 10 cents a mile. With 20K viewers, that could represent serious pizza money.....
Hiking the AT is a microcosm of life. Paths intertwine then lead away, people come and go. The only thing you can expect is change, but that's necessary because stagnation can't help growth. The only prerequisite is to keep moving forward. HYOH, because although we're all going to the same destination, we all have different paths to get there, even if it's physically the same path. You have to let go of what's in your hand to grab ahold of something else. Just from experience, speeding up or slowing down should be reserved for avoiding those you don't want to be around, not for sticking with those you hope to stay with. When you find your speed, they find you, maybe.
I’m hiking my own hike by sticking with these girls. I need the moral support and mental stability of hiking with others after what happened to me. Not to say it will always be this way, however during my first few weeks out here I’ll be sticking with the tram until I feel confident enough mentally and physically to be on my own.
@@kellyhays23 ah, there is wisdom in your words grasshopper.
@@kellyhays23 Great! Really enjoy this section you're in, it's awesome.
@@kellyhays23 Yes. The most important voice to listen to is the one from within. Wilderness survival instructors always say an essential rule of survival is to listen to your instincts. And that's especially meaningful for those of us whose instincts are sourced from a higher Power than our own.
