What I Wore During My Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike Emily: Great video, thank you so much! I'm looking forward to a thru-hike in a few years (not enough time right now, as I'm in college. When I'm hiking, I normally wear lightweight athletic leggings, mainly because I sunburn so easily (and being on the curvy side, I find them more comfy. Do you recommend moving away from that habit and wearing shorts instead? I always hike in northern PA (where I live)--do you know if it's significantly hotter in the southern portion of the trail? And is it possible that I would lose enough weight on the trail that I wouldn't find my legs rubbing together to be uncomfortable? (Sorry for all the questions, and it's fine if you don't have answers)

I thought this was a really good video told by a really cool chick.
where is your accent from exactly? Southern, Mississippi maybe? I've never heard the term tobagen before for a knit cap or beanie.
Also, so are you saying a thru hike encompasses or spans no less than 3 seasons? As in spring, summer and fall? Kreikies thats a hell of a lot of hiking. What do you do at night? Play cards or anything? Are people hooking up at all? Haha! Or are the too stinky?

Two questions how old are you and how many times have you hiked the Appalachian trail. I would be scared if you were my Daughter. My Daughter is 30 and my Son is 27 and I have a Nephew we are raising that is 11. I enjoy listening to you and would love to hike it but at 52 and also I have to pay the bills so I work a lot. I do a lot of hunting and fishing and love the outdoors. Happy trails young Lady.

interesting videos. i didnt know that trail was so long. have you done it all? how long does it take? do you hike with a buddy? ive heard you say a few times about wonderful ppl. im a big man, i wouldnt want to do it alone or with out a ccw. and what about snakes? i suspect more issue with those south than north, but idk, you must have a lot of heart. what made you want to do this?

I would really like to see an episode over loaded bear can weight. I know that there isn't a set amount of food weight for every hiker, and I know it changes, but I would really like to see your average food weight when you filled up in town. I've got my pack weight calculated down to the gram, but I'm not sure how much my food will weigh for say, 7 days.

One thing is what made you want to hike the AT, How did the notion come about. Was it a book, television show, or someone told you about it. Were you taking a nap and woke up and said to yourself I'm gonna go on a hike. Did you do any pre hikes prior to the AT and what were they. Thanks again.

Maybe you could take out groups and show them how to hike the trail. I am sure people would pay you to guide them. Just a thought you might could make a lot of money. I would be lost but would love to do it one day. I am impressed with your vast knowledge of this subject.

I'm binging these vids like Netflix. Spent my 20s in the Army and now that I'm 40 I'm waiting for the kids to grow up so I can go. 10 more years is torture to wait but love these vids. I even get great tips here for smaller trips too.

Thanks. I would've preferred a little more in-depth description of the types of material as I'm having problems selecting proper materials; I find polyester extremely uncomfortable in summer, and wool seems impractical.

You remind me of my daughter, sharp and level mind. I hope she will take the pct she only does short hikes because shes scared to do hikw thats long enough to require a through night
