Why Thru Hiking Will Change Your Life

Hey Everyone, first, I'd like to say thanks for all of the support in all of the hiking adventures over the last few years. I've been laying low and off of YouTube for some time, but I'm excited to start sharing a bit more of what I've been up to lately. We've got more stories and hiker videos coming your way soon, starting now. Happy Trails!

Nice job! The subtitle could be "Between two ferns."

Your words could have been mine. I've gained so much through hiking. The confidence I have now is such a blessing, it was definitely one thing I lacked most. Great video!

Epic story! Glad you recorded it here.

Panda! This is stunning! Beautiful scenery and sentiment. I still vividly remember a sunny afternoon in the foothills of the Sierra when you strode into the meadow Safari and I lunching in with that iconic hat on your head and a ridiculous smile on your face. You so clearly beamed the equanimity of a soul embracing the beauty (and challenge) of the present. It was a gift to have the opportunity to hang out in the weeks that followed. Can't wait to hear more about your journey since.

Wow, that was so cool. Thank you so much for sharing your heart like that. I too find purpose and meaning when I step out like that. That enlightening and encouraging. Blessings to you, in all your life's journeys.

Hey brother. Just found this video, and have to say thank you for sharing. I am going through some of the same obstacles you faced and have been talking about the A.T. for years and always found an excuse. After watching this, I just registered for my thru hike in March of 2024. Wish me luck, and thanks for inspiring me. 🙏
