I love your videos. You are the most positive person!! My daughter is also hiking and she's about 5 days behind you. By watching your videos I know what lies ahead for her. So awesome!! Thank you and keep up the good work!!
I truly appreciated seeing your mood swing throughout this day... not every day is easy but by pulling through, not giving up and relying on your faith you are that much stronger.
Yay Frizzle’s mom for going out of her way to reunite you with your hiking poles!! I just missed meeting you. I stayed at the Thistle Hill shelter the 8-9 night of June. Left at noon after long rain.
I just love your positivity. Frizzel is a super sweet person and i was left with a nice impression of her. 😊 Hi Frizzle, 👋 Stick, I really have enjoyed watching you. I havent watched to the end yet, so I really hope you get your poles back. Maybe an angel will return them to you.
@sticktheeagle I notice that you are aware of the times you are aggravated and "grumpy," but then you stop and look for the good and positive. That's a gift and it's wonderful that you got it so young. On my "angry" days, I do what I call "Thankful Therapy " and list all the things in my life that are good. 😊 Hike safe and happy.
Will Stick use his new tent before he gets off trail or after he returns? Was hiking with one pole better than two? Did Professor Nickels make it into town for more town food? Will Frizzle come to Sticks rescue, yet again? Tune in tomorrow folks... same time, same channel... Happy Trails! 👟🎒🗻🪨⛺️🌲💚🥾
Rain at night when you're in a actual dwelling? Perfect! Oh, well, you need new poles anyway -- the tips were gone from the other ones and it would be better to have sturdier poles before Maine. You probably need to consider that. However, that was very sweet of Frizzle to share, and super sweet of her parents to bring you your old ones! Those orange newts are actually called "efts". They are the juvenile terrestrial stage of the eastern newt. After the aquatic larvae stage, eastern newts enter what’s called the red eft stage. The red eft is easily recognizable with its bright orange coloring and rows of black-ringed spots and that's what you see in the woods. Later, they become mostly aquatic again. Adult eastern newts look quite a bit different from the efts. Instead of bright orange skin, their skin becomes a nice olive green with a yellow stomach and lots of black polka dots. Also, Hanover is a very cool town if you must spend time in a town. I love that cute little grocery co-op they have right by the trail before it disappears into the woods.
Very cool eft lesson! Thank you! I might get some new poles before Maine, though a small part of me likes the idea of finishing the last couple hundred miles with the same poles.
Sounds like you had a rough morning. It sure was nice of Frizzles' parents to bring your poles. The scenery sure was pretty in that area. Very cool you saw a couple cubs too. You shouldn't be so sad about not meeting your expectations. Because when you were meeting your expectations you were upset that you weren't with your tramely. Yup see you just talked about previous expectations. Its not always going to be unicorns and rainbows no matters what your doing. It would make things easier though😊 Great to see Frizzel and Nickels again❤ Hooray Nickles!🎉 Get a goodnights rest. Tomorrow will be a better day. Remember to always embrace the journey and happy trails. ❤ ✌️🫶
Flowers are lupines. You will see more of them. My husband and I started being trail maintainers on a state forest trail near us after I finished my AT home as payback. It's a lot of work but as a hiker you know how much it makes a difference. When discouraged I ask Jesus to show me the beauty to refocus my mind. Glad you got your poles back. Nickels and Frizzle are great friends.
Stick, it was a pleasure to meet you in person. You have such a positive attitude and a love for creation. I hope you are able to continue your thru hike in the fall. Embrace the journey.
Stick you need to start stretching and somehow rolling your calves. Look up calf stretch back leg straight. This will help your feet!! Keeping your back leg straight and your back heel on the floor, bend your front knee and gently bring your hip and chest toward the wall until you feel a stretch in the calf of your back leg. Also I think you need to talk with scout camp to see if you can complete the AT with Nichols and Frizzle. It would be so much harder to do without support from friends. I bet they will understand and work with you on this! It even looks good on a job application 😊
Hey you. Congratulations on the new Z-Pack tent, I think you said the duplex offset. I have had the duplex and the triplex, both did very well for me. I hope yours does proves equally excellent.
Oh my, I just realized that when you leave trail, how we will know if Frizzel and Nickels make it on to Katahdin! I don't think I have heard you mention in any of the video's if either of them have a channel. Is there a way to keep up with their journey?
Something about the water running through the rocks- so relaxing and soothing relief for the mind- I see we share the same feeling. Oh the poles, hate when that kind of thing can slip from your mind when it is an essential item and you are caught off guard- good luck with that is having Frizzle having your back- sweet lady who’s a true angel of a friend! New Hampshire, here we come. . . .🍄🧘🏼🌱🌿🙏
Don’t be so hard on yourself…. I left my poles in my best friends car after my shakedown on the Ouachita Trail (Oklahoma-Arkansas). I live in Texas, got them a month later… you are doing great. Embrace the journey and Happy Trails Sticker the Eagle 🥾
Glad to know I’m not the only one. Sounds like you didn’t have to worry about hiking without them, but still annoying to figure out how to get them back.
In all your videos it does speak how badly you want to stay on trail. Why not following that heart and stay where you belong. Summer Camp will be there next year. This is a once of a lifetime experience. Follow your ❤ and don't force yourself to do things other people want you to do.
The fields are a farmers cash crops as are the maple syrup lines....the more he cuts for you, he loses in haying money....Hanover is a college town...very small.
I love your videos. You are the most positive person!! My daughter is also hiking and she's about 5 days behind you. By watching your videos I know what lies ahead for her. So awesome!! Thank you and keep up the good work!!
She’s in Vermont now? Thru hiking? That’s wonderful!! Best wishes to her!
Thanks Frizzle for letting Stick use one of your poles. Looked like a hard day. Safe travels.

After I return. I can’t hook up with my tent before then. I prefer two poles since that is what I am used to using on trail.
Frizzle is the best!! You have a great little tramily ❤

Expectations has certainly been a theme on this hike. Yet I keep making some for some reason!
@@sticktheeagle we're only human, lol
You are doing good. Thumbs up. Hats off to the woman you hike with. Nice to see a fast hiking lady.

Yes. Stop, look, listen, feel. Those are the things that moments are made from and then attitudes and then memories.
Stick, it was a pleasure to meet you in person. You have such a positive attitude and a love for creation. I hope you are able to continue your thru hike in the fall. Embrace the journey.
I value both the positive attitude and the love for creation! Me too; it has been such an incredible journey
I respect that you honor your commitments….
Being a camp counselor is such a joy isn’t it??
Mama K will be there in fall.
It sure is! And she sure will be.

Cool, thanks! I definitely look forward to trying it out soon!
So sweet of Frizzle to lend you her stick. Baby bears,very exciting but scary too. Where’s mama bear at? Hopefully you have bear spray on you.
Bear spray is heavy to carry for likely not ever using it. Didn’t see mama bear but she was nearby somewhere

They have Instagram accounts @nickelsontrail and @jaylanwalkshome
@@sticktheeagle thank you! I am cheering you all onwards!

Thanks for the comment, but I really love summer camp and I hold to my commitments too.
Nice your friend lent you a pole. Did you get new metal tips on your old poles? Crazy how metal wears after so many miles
It really is!! I was so surprised by that. Still don’t have new tips; I might need new poles entirely
The flowers are Lupines ❤
The fields are a farmers cash crops as are the maple syrup lines....the more he cuts for you, he loses in haying money....Hanover is a college town...very small.
There are all kinds of walking sticks laying o n the ground. I am a wood carver an old Boy Scout come Stix Eagle up plow through.
Possibly after Frizzel gets her pole back you could find a stick in the woods and use it for a walking stick
That is what I first used to hike with, and that thought did cross my mind
GLAD THIS DAY IS DONE😅
I suppose the trail gets worse towards the end since so many don't finish
Perhaps it is the Universe’s way to tell you that you need new poles (you actually do). 😊 You are doing great, with or without your poles.
Yes, I know I do. One thing after another. Finally got the shoes, now need new poles. They are still working ok though
If others walked through it so can you. Keep your mind fixed on Jesus walking with you.
Remember what the scripture says to focus on these things.
. . . 'puds' . . . pointless ups and downs 😊.
