Happy to have come across your videos! The first time we hiked the approach trail after ALL the steps I had to stop at Frosty Mountain to camp! I was disappointed but that’s all I could do! You’re doing great. Keep hiking and keep it safe. Looking forward to your journey! 🥾

You know what’s absolutely hilarious? My husband’s nickname used to be “Stick”, and he had friends that he goes way back with whom still call him Stick when they contact him.

A great start to the adventure/journey . I thought that pack looked heavy. Jack & Bobs weigh-in was heavy as well, Bobs pack was 50 lbs. They shed a lot, and got the weight way down. You will have to mail some things home. Please do that sooner then later. Other then that, your hike is going good. Thanks for sharing!

You are adorable and will be fine to watch your progress! Good job. One step at a time!

You're right that you definitely just think of one step at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself with the total distance ahead. Just enjoy the moment of what the trail brings you today.
425 stairs. Yikes! It's great that you're already meeting people on the trail. Have a great time!

Great first day! You already know about the weight, so I’m sure you’re sorting that out.
We’re cheering you on, Stick!! Let’s gooo!
