I am impressed!!! When the tarp dumped you three, your friend held on to her beer!!! There is a lady with her priorities intact.
I think what was the best part. You 3 fell off the hammock and the girl in the middle didn't even spill the beer!
Now she is a champ!
love Johnny's. spent a month and a half there. just stopped hiking. new hikers every day, partys every night. that river sound, work stays rock. then went on. loved it. never would have imagined.
You are kicking butt girl! Great content! Probably the best content I’ve seen. We are definitely keeping up with you among a few others. Glad Stephanie hung in. It was looking iffy for a minute.
This is the first party thru hike I've seen. I'm all for it
"Which way is the sun?" "It's straight up ahead" roflmao. Hammock fail was epic! Great update!
Coming from England I don't know a thing about this trail and what people are saying is right or wrong, I'm just watching cause I like the content and think it's super cool! Keep going girl!
that is such an english thing to say. lol to funny
Theres trails all over UK !=8)
I love that you're enjoying your experience! And, falling off the hammock was a classic UA-cam moment. LOL
When yall fell of the hamock , THAT was some funny shit....lol that had Arkasas Buffalo river party written all over it.
I’m so happy to see you back on the trail and man you make it hard to be working in the rat race while watching you guys have so much fun. I can’t wait until it’s my turn to slow down and enjoy life like you are!
Love seeing you smile again and so glad you are feeling better.
How much fun is it to be spontaneous! Hope you had a great time.
You guys are having so much fun! I’m enjoying watching
You guys have so much fun mixed in with all that work! Wonderful! 🤙
Just found your videos and they're a super chill, fun thing to have playing while I work and study. Love that your friend didn't spill her drink after falling. Y'all made me belly-laugh because of how great each of your laughs is! I know I'm way behind but I'll catch up and you're getting there!!!!!
You enjoy things so intens...Nice to watch...have a great hike tomorrow
I just did part of this last week. Beautiful. Same trail magic! And almost stayed at that campground!
Hey Kelly, how cool. I'm really enjoying watching your travels. The bad part is over and all the good parts are happening for you. I am going to walk the pacific crest trail next year when I retire, but after that I'm heading to the AT! It's so beautiful and looks like a total blast. Thanks for taking us along.
We just looked at the PCT last night. We plan AT in 2022 but after we don’t know but that’s top on my list. How is the resupply and hostels? Is it going to be comparable to AT as fas as that goes.
I'm choosing the PCT because I live in California and it's closer to me. I'm older too and walking seems more realistic than hiking.
The PCT has fewer hostile and there are many parts where you have to walk 5 to 7 days before you see a town to resupply but you go through Yosemite and that area, so that is pretty cool.
This is so cool! Looking forward to more videos!
Great video! I lol’d when y’all fell out of the hammock.
Hey Kelly! I love Uncle Johnny’s! Goes in for a 2 day Resupply and leaves with 2 full bags of food lol. Why do I get the sense that you girls are goofing the entire time you hike! That’s awesome! Damn that trail magic was epic, but I’ll take the view ❤️ OMG! That gnome was dancing at Terrapin Station! I could almost hear the band! Idk why but your video does seem more green and lush than others, I guess it is getting toward summer. What another perfect day for the memory bank! I hope your rafting “zero” day is a good one! I can’t wait to see that vlog! Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well.
-Grateful
Love this! I am some what concerned about your pace far from reacting to the ultimate goal. However, it is about the journey, so....
Have no worries. Stay tuned things will open up soon
Looks like you are having fun! Enjoy.
Love your videos! they are amazing!
Fell off the Hammock but she still managed to save that drink though!😂 Glad you left it in. That place is dope! Perfect surprise for a zero day. I love the views but I equally love the camaraderie of you and your "Tramily"! I'm learning that trail lingo. Another dope vid!
Well if I cant hike the A.P. trail , at least I can follow you ..cant wait for day 18❤ thanks for your hard work!!
You're awesome Kelly! And I love your trail running uniform! ;)
With regards to you IG post about what defines a thru-hike. For me, I would think that as long as you walk the full 2190 miles (or a close enough equivalent), then you completed a full thru-hike. Whether you slacked packed, stayed in hostels, or took zero days in town, you still walked 2190 miles. I would only put the qualifier on it that you would need to complete it in a reasonable time (usually defined as 1 year). You'd be stretching it if you said you did it in like 5 years. Technically you would have walked 2190 miles, but I think it becomes a bit gray at that point. But to each their own. You know what you did and didn't do.
Full mileage in 365 if you go by ATC definition... She could still come back early next spring and finish missed mileage for it to be considered a thru hike by most standards.
The AT has become pretty commercialized and there's so much development along the trail, people who aren't familiar have this expectation it's not a genuine experience unless you're out there getting lyme disease and hypothermia, when the reality is the experience is whatever you want to make it and everyone has their own goals. And then you have the critics who don't understand just because the trail and culture has fundamentally changed doesn't diminish what early hikers had to endure.
Heck yeah, take that zero. If you don’t stop and enjoy the trip when you have the opportunity, what’s the point? Make those memories.
I needed that laugh today. Thanks Kelly!
People waking up early in the morning with a delicious hot Coffee & Milk 😋🌄 That's the Magic of an Outstanding Hiking Adventure !!! Glad to see you guys having so much fun. Enjoy It 🤙 Blue Skies 🙏😜
I love Bojangels chicken! Always hit one up in NC at the NASCAR races
Heck yea. Zero days whenever you feel like is what the AT should be about. Its such beautiful country, no point in "rushing" through ( except.avoiding winter 😂).
Sounds like a Good Plan
You are doing a fantastic job! 👏👏👏
Well Trailed! Its not about the trail it's about the adventure.
You r killing it great job
Lots of comments about is this a through hike or not. Way I see it long as every inch of the trail is covered in a reasonable time frame you have indeed hiked the whole trail and for most that's the goal. As many hikers have stated you have to hike your own hike because if it isn't fun it can't work or be done.
However for me I am a traditionalist and have the mentality that a through hike means just that you start at one end and go straight through to the other end. But that is the point everyone has different goals and different opinions on what's fun for them. I am happy to see Kellie have fun on trail and if the flip flop style works for her that's fantastic. I just hope Kellie never loses sight of the main goal and gets to the end of the trail before she loses what would be considered reasonable time. Most hikers consider that as reaching MT. Kitatan before it has to close for winter. This would also mean including coming back and doing the missing leg due to the illness. Kellie I know you are capable of getting it done I just hope you have the will power to see it through. It's great to have fun but don't lose focus of your original goal in the process. I am a retired Scoutmaster and I know hiking. It's so easy to lose sight of goals and get lost in the adventure.
indica flowers is so cuteeeeeeee love your smiling faces :)
Super Thank you.
It's about the memories, not the miles. The miles will always be there. Enjoy the experience.
Damn this episode was twice as much fun as the last one. I didn't think that was possible
Life is good when you are having fun. Even better when you don't spill the beer when falling out of a hammock. Cheers!!
I was always under the impression you have to be in a car for the drive thru because the weight of the car triggers an alarm on the inside. Theres a scale where you order. If you walk up it wont trigger the alarm, u less someone sees you
Hopefully you can capture your rafting trip through the incredible Nolichuky river gorge 🤙🏼 Doing the AT right...
Looks like a reishi mushroom rather than a lobster. Reishi(hemlock varnish variety) is known as queen of the mushroom in Chinese medicine
Uncle Johnnies. Got what you need. 👌I love the drive thru. 👍 You're looking real good hope you feel great. Little wine and cheese 🧀 that will help 😊 Ken NC
So fun! Does anyone know the name of that campground at the end of the video? It looks awesome.
⛺️ 🍷 🧀 🐕 🍉💜- looks like a blast and love hearing your laugh !!!!
i always say hike half in the bag or baked if u can.
A very positive video! Like!
KEEP IT UP KELLY. LOVE YOU JOANNA CALIFORNIA

Look really good in that hammock
Looks like you're having fun! Hope you're recovering well. And take no notice of people criticising your slack packing.
I built that Food City. Welcome to East Tennessee. Roan Mountain is my favorite spot.
You did a wonderful job! I was very impressed with that place!
Wow! What a fun day you all had. It's great to be able to consider...lets go rafting tomorrow"....heck ya, why not? Making memories and having fun. I dont blame you one bit. Have fun on the rapids! Best wishes and blessings always....WHITEWATER!
Bojangles sweet tea is where its at
Love your dreads👌🏼❤️
Wine and cheese on the trail😋Hike on👍
Tell the truth got a buzz hehe. ✌️👊
Kelly, I know your big on the Dead. Real question. Who's better Widespread Panic or Phish?
Indica Flower, lol am I the only one that thought of something/someone different? 😂☠️
I like how your buddy saved her beer when y’all fell off the hammock. Is she part Canadian?
They actually allowed you to go thru the drive - thru while walking? They do not allow that here in Arizona, but they may have changed the policy since COVID.
Soooo…did you fall of the bridge? I’m guessing no….considering we saw you at the end. Enjoy!
What is the app or website you keep mentioning? Sounds like you're saying "gut hook".
Yes, guthooks. It’s called far out now but it’s the map system
😊💖🐶🐶
From handstands to hammock dumps, 10:20, maybe the trail names should be: Moe, Larry, and Curly. Should Kelly be Curly?? ua-cam.com/video/2rbyKFY28rg/v-deo.html While the entertainment factor of this channel is reaching exponential heights, it could get dangerous. Imagine Kelly calling home: "Mom, I'm in the ER again." Mom asks, "What happened, dear?" Kelly replies, "I fell out of a hammock." O the dangers of thru-hiking. Love this channel. It's going to be a classic.
Stephanie’s trail name should be Magellan with her innate sense of direction. 😳
Good move. Haha. ✌️👊
At least the turd was covered up
Looks like your still in Erwin
How are you feeling today young lady
Bloody hike so far...
The girl fell off her hammock and didn't spill her drink, is she British.
She’s just a badA
I’ve seen a few people comment this. What does that mean
Wow I’m a terrible youtuber for not knowing this lol. I’ll try to figure out how to do from the phone
When you get to the skyline drive please message me if you need anything and I would love to me you. I’m only 15 mins from Swift run gap
your the funfest car I have ever seen 👀
I’m wondering what you guys are in businesses without masks?
No more mask mandates most places
Welcome to the south
@@kellyhays23 neat
The mask police days are over, officer.
Someone send a clip at 10:15 to failarmy lol
#HIKE??
Nice to see you healthy food!! So much awful food otherwise in other people s vlogs
Well Kelly it appears your "advisors" are more than ready to define for you what a thru-hike is ... or isn't. Seems there are as many definitions as there are definers. Don't panic. There's only one definition that counts and that is the official one from the A.T. Conservancy. It's raw-bone and basic and simply says: "A thru-hike is a hike of the entire A.T. in 12 months or less." That's all. Nothing about slack packing, shelter loops, days off trail, flip flopping, and all the rest.It just says hike all of it and do it within one year. All other definitions are superfluous, have no validity, and exist only in the imagination of the definer.
Everyone is free to place whatever liberties and restrictions on himself for his own hike, and everyone is free to have an opinion about what a thru-hike should be, but no one is free to redefine the definition by the ATC and impose it on someone else.
I meant to include this in the above.... To show what an absolute exercise in futility it is to debate these endless and meaningless arguments about what a thru-hike is, here is an article from The Trek: thetrek.co/definition-thru-hike/
You can look me up on Facebook under J.Lee Hammer
What happened to your chin Kelly?
Pimples happened, G-rad.
