One good thing I will say about 2020 is I’ve seen more videos of married couples on different trails than I have in the last four years. Enjoy y’all’s hike.

Loved this video and my favourite part is when you called your wife, "dude" when seeing the ice after the AT. She didn't skip a beat which was so cool.

After the stomach pain scene I thought your, "OK, time to get some food" comment was going to be "OK, time to take a dump". Great job on the video! Looked like an excellent trip.

Mountain House eggs do the same to me! I just got back from a trip in the Smoky Mtn. and took a skillet and fried cheddar cheese, meat stick chunks and two organic eggs for two breakfast meals. Much better but way more to carry.

Nice trip video. Good to see you two together.

We love your forest adventure, thank you for sharing your amazing content.

Great trip video! Gotta love the Smokey's. Perfect way to finish out the week as well.

I’ve done this stretch too but the other way around, Jakes creek trail is supposed to be haunted which I felt I experienced when I passed thru! I was intending on staying at site 27 on my 3rd day but had an interesting experience which led me to hike out That night after a brief nap w a 16ish mile day from double gap springs shelter. I didn’t find out till after that it has led others to discomfort and and eerie feeling. Thanks for letting us live vicariously!

Great video. Literally backpacking in my backyard. I backpack in smokies at least once a month. 26 is a great campsite for sure.

I tried to do this exact hike about 1.5 months ago. During my hike to 26 some hurricane remnant storms that where originally blowing away towards the east swung back to the west and stayed over me all night. It was a straight down pour once the rain started. I could not find a decent flat spot for my tent in that site since it was dark and raining. I slept for maybe an hour. It ended up be my first hike that I ended early and walked back to my car the next morning completely drenched. Even though I ended it early I still loved it. I ran into bears twice on my way to 26.

"Smokys" (more than one Smoky...mountain). "Smokey's" (something that belongs to Smoky). For her - shorten poles on uphills, lengthen them on downhills. In between on the flats. Leaving them too long makes them harder to handle. They seemed to be getting in her way. It was a fun video to watch. The interaction between individuals in a couple breathes life into already stellar video content. Thanks 👍

Ill be doing an out and back on Jake's and Miry on the 5th, and posted a question on one of my hiking groups about the water situation on CS26, and someone shared your video. I heard it was pretty hit or miss. So you found the water source to be fairly decent and not a long trek from camp? I'm not opposed to packing in my water....but would rather not haul the extra weight. 😊

With your stomach issues, have you considered whether you may be gluten intolerant? I get awful stomach pains and it is because my body doesn’t handle gluten any more (maybe never did and I just didn’t realize it). I only ever get those stomach pains about 3-4 hours after having consumed gluten.

I really enjoyed watching it, thank you, a few things though raised my eyebrows :) first there was ice and you hiked in T-shirts and shorts. Here in Ukraine in Carpathians, which are not the highest mountains(up to 6700ft) I guess like Smokys, in November we are dressed pretty solid with at least warm mid layer on the warm day, and second surprise were your interesting comments about first day climbing being not such great hiking day, again I compare it to Carpathians, where on any given regular hiking day we would be climbing 3000-5000ft or more and that continues ascend and descend process would be the essence and the whole idea of good hiking, kind of inseparable, pls don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing, just interesting: a bit different attitudes on different part of the globe.

Also if u notice a comfort difference to the Frameless pack or the 20L .. I ordered my 40FS yesterday and opt for the Suspension Version over the Frameless cause It’s the only pack with a hipbelt and just like u I prefer to carry the weight on my Hips .. Just in General curious what you have to say about the Pack now after you have used it for a time and in comparison to the HMG2400 etc
