Dixie hikes through the night to make 23 miles total for a day. BasementShopGuy: Ok Dixie - so I'm lying here in bed, alone watching you and your pretty friend - and I'm being good (and NOT doing) what I know is wrong, but you're killing me here. I went to bed and didn't SNACK or eat after dinner. And watching all those eggs and bacon and pancakes. Oh my god. You're testing my resolve to get in shape for hiking. The good news is that I kept watching and didn't go downstairs and snack. Excellent series, been watching from episode 1, and am training to do more hiking - tougher terrain and longer trips. Your vids are very helpful. (sorry for creepy joke at the beginning, LOL)

I just finished up a weeklong trip in the Smokies, and it killed me to hear you stayed at Davenport. We originally planned to stay there a night but Apple Maps took us down this awful mountain road where a local blocked us from passing through and threatened to pull a gun on us if we tried to go down his road (pine hill way. Ended up sleeping in our cars that night because it started raining and it was too late and cold to night-hike. Great trip anyways. Your videos helped me prepare and have the lightest pack in my group so thank you for all of the great information.

Im on update number 8 of your videos and I'm watching them all the way through. Ive already watched most of your gear videos and tips for the trail. Im thru hiking this may, 2017 with one of my buddies. We're graduating college and heading out. Ive loved your videos. They're a great way to feel the joy of the trail while I'm still stuck in school waiting to hike it myself. thanks for sharing your experiences. -

I live near here and my sister, Maria, runs Standing Bear Hostel. I do trail maintenance on the A. T. near here every week. I remember the first time I noticed that log laying in the middle of that stream; probably none like it throughout the entire A. T.

Looks like a fun group. it's been one year since I took my two teenage sons to VA/TN for a 60 mile section which ended in Damascus. Best of luck to you all. Be safe out there. wish I were hiking instead of slaving at this work desk! Cheers!

Beat Dixie never imagined that in two years she would do a 62 mile day (24 hr) on the PCT. In fact, I'm willing to bet that if I had told her this at this point in time that she would have blown me off as some crazy old lady. Did happen.

Love you Dixie. Just learned about you from a hiker on the Pnhoti. I've been watching thru hikers 2018. Wife and I just hiked part of the A. T. In march. God bless from Oxford, Alabama.

Was all the steaks and other food free? There is another vlogger on here who did the whole trail in 100 days avg. 22mi. per day but I like your films better.
