    Yes great trail angels. Another road walk! Great humor too! I like your editing. This section of the trail has been my favorite on the Pinhoti. Sorry about the steep climbs. This section of the trail after the rainstorm is throwing everything at you. The butterflies are so beautiful. Good morning, the journey is coming to a close on this trail. Thank you Rev. I hike on occasions with my daughter. I did 20 miles on the PCT with her in 2019. She didn't complete the PCT that year but she did in 2021. I am now 73 and I still try to hike on some trails with her.(When she lets me lol) I like you advice too. Either get busy living or get busy dying. Thank you for being such an inspiration. I will look forward to your next hiking adventure. Hike on Rev. See you down the trail. Blessings and safe hiking.

I take my hat off to you for having the drive and determination to complete these absolutely amazing treks (Pinhoti and PCT). I look forward to checking out more of your videos. Also, love the reference to Shawshank Redemption. This movie is also one of my all time favourites (as I must have seen it at least a dozen times already). Safe and happy trails in your days ahead, and Happy (belated) 70th Birthday!!

    Your video is a great one because you are leaving a legacy of you life in that video. I am all about recording my life and the lives of those I care about. People don't take the time to record their life so others will remember them when they are gone. Photos are good but video is great. Our love ones will want to hear our voices and our thoughts about our journeys in life. They will be glad we recorded ourselves and others. I tell my family and friends I am the historian of the family that that is why I have a camera in my hands all the time. Someones have to capture the moments and I am that guy. Keep shooting those videos Rev. Your family and friends will be glad you did.

    Rev, sorry I just found this. I certainly agree with your philosophy of doing and not setting.
    I will be 69 in a couple of months. I became serious about hiking late in life, but all of my hobbies have been active and outside. I still hike at a fairly quick pace, but I have begun to realize how short life really is and that it is nice to stop and enjoy the view sometimes. We are both the ages where there is no guarantee that we will be able to come back and see the sights again.
    For a poor kid from Kentucky, I think that life has been good to me.
    Always enjoy your "real person" videos.

Thank you for sharing your faith; so important these days. May God bless you richly in whatever He has in store for you. Have you ever done the AT? The smoke from Canada has dissipated somewhat, so I was back out on the trails again today. Keep the faith!

    Rev, thank you for sharing your journey. I hope to do the Pinhoti Trail sometime, and I have made a note to rewatch these videos when that day comes. Moreso, thank you for the inspiration you give. I'm 62 and learn from every video you have posted. I really appreciate the videos on tips for older hikers and how to stay motivated. Your comment about "This is the day the Lord has made" has helped me get past some rough days on trail. I'll be getting back on the PCT at Donner Pass in a little over a week, and I hope to run into Marmalade.
    One question - what are your thoughts on the "Buddy Beep Beep" dog thing? I'll do the River to River in Illinois before the Pinhoti, and I know there are a lot of dogs there.
    Thanks again, and I agree, get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.

    Thanks for the videos, and I look forward to many more. A few years ago, I met a couple of guys in the Sierra who were hiking the Sierra High Route. It's a tough, mostly off-trail route, through the Sierra. The guy who did all of the talking was 82, and the young guy hiking with him was 80. I hope to see you out on the trail in another 10 years.

    Congrats 🎊 on your completion of the Pinhoti trail 👏👏 I’m so glad you “document “ your hike creating videos even tho it’s time consuming and more work for you. Maybe you’ll have a Q&A later but was wondering what did you like the most about this trail? The least? The Trail Angels were mostly for rides into town (as opposed to providing water or food on the trail)? I noticed no “bubble” of hiking with other hikers (like the PCT)…most of the time you hiked alone? You are amazing! Happy 70th! (I’ll be there in 6 months). You are living life the healthiest way possible. I’d rather die hiking (being out in nature) than sitting at home. I’m glad you had a safe thru hike with no mishaps or injuries. Strange there weren’t footbridges across those streams. The blow downs looked awful- must have been recent as they probably maintain the trail pretty well. Can’t wait to see what your next adventure will be!

    Congratulations on the completion of the Pinhoti, it's always about the journey and not the destination and I loved every part of your journey, it was absolutely fascinating. Really liked the camera angle from inside the log, very clever! Flip Flops are really lightweight and would protect your feet just for the river crossings keeping your socks and shoes dry, also great to slip on in camp for a night-time nature call. Looking forward to your next adventure! Best wishes, Rob.
