I expect that when you were filming the shoe tree you had to be thinking, "there has to be a better pair of shoes in that tree". Good luck with your new shoes!!

Ha ha ! I was thinking, "Should I throw mine up there or send them home ?" Maybe too much wear left in them to toss them ?

So happy that I have a hiker to follow again! It really is inspiring

Liquid Band-aid is your friend, get the spray type and spray your potential hot spots for blister prevention.

I love that you make it a point to film the dogs along the way 🤗🥰

Of all the hundreds of AT hiking videos I've watched, I think your sunny dry view of Blood Mountain is the one of the very few I've seen. It always seems to be rainy, windy and foggy in everyone's videos. Sending all the good vibes that your feet will heal and the new shoes will work out fine. #teamtaylor

My first time to see a Blood Mountain vid in sun!!

Love your music in the beginning! We've heard really good things about Above the Clouds, looks really nice. You're right - sore feet really can be a downer. So glad you're doing better! -- Chica

That is a really nice looking hostel!

Awesome video! Beautiful dog at 0:30!

Hey, Nimrod is wearing our shirt in that video! Cant wait to come back down and visit.

Injinji Toe Socks! Yeah, I can't talk those socks up enough. I love 'em. But, last year during a section hike on the AT I had a 4 mile nero and decided, like you did, that since they were wet and I was only doing a few miles, my feet would be fine. It was a definite mistake and I regretted the decision for the rest of that hike. Bottom line: Find the right combo of socks , liners and shoes that work, and stay with it as long as possible, rain or shine. Hope your feet recover quickly! Happy trails! Really enjoy your videos.

10:00 am reeses cup followed by Cheezits. Lol....the Dimpled Rebel! Praying for your feet and continued success.

Thank you for all the backtracking you do to film these videos for your KZread friends especially with your feet hurting you so bad! I’m glad you got some comfort for your feet! Thank you for sharing!

Great video! So glad you’re back in the trail and taking us with you!

Beautiful videography! Hoping the new shoes solve the foot problem. Dogs just seem to know that you are a dog lover. I think that’s pretty cool!

Glad you got a great view at Blood mountain! And new shoes! Happy Trails!

Great weather, new shoes, and evening swissmiss. Life is good! Best wishes as always. Thanks for packing us all along with you!

Love that we get to meet all the dogs. Really enjoying your videos.

I really enjoy your hike. I like that you are conscientious and take precautions. Take care and stay safe😊

That was quite the hostel, you had a beautiful day and great views. Take care of those feet!!

Nice sunny day, glad you got the view from Blood Mountain this year. Hope the shoes help.

Glad to see the Swiss Miss, I LOVE that stuff! Watching from the UK and enjoying catching up with your vids.

Great videography! Hope your feet are better. Thanks for letting us tag along!

Thanks for posting Taylor! You are awesome!

Good luck with the new shoes, Taylor ! I hope they provide the foot comfort and cushioning that's right for you !!! Safe travels !!

Sounds like the new shoes were a good swap and glad you listened to your body! 👍🏻 Love watching your videos - so natural and you capture everything from the trail, food, views and some input from you - all in a condensed perfectly edited video! 👏🏻. Keep those feet happy 😃

Your videos are awesome! Looking forward to watching your hike to Maine.

I’ve been following some through hikers for a few weeks now. Incredibly you are the first to summit Blood Mountain and tour the shelter up there in the sunshine. Your video gave me a totally different perspective. I’m delighted you’ve been having such great weather. I can see by your shot of the camping area that there are a lot more people on the trail than two weeks ago. I hope it’s a sign that the sun will be shining on your hike.

You passed the shoe tree! That's wonderful - and I hope that the new shoes from Neel Gap are much more comfortable. Pain on trail - especially foot pain and blisters - is aggravating to the extreme!

Enjoying watching your new attempt to walk the AT. I am much too old to consider it, but I feel like I am out there in watching your daily videos. Continued good luck & stay safe! 😎

What a gorgeous hostel. Good that you're listing to your body. You have to take care of it. You've got a long way to go. Glad you're having good weather.

I had trouble with the Lone Peaks as well. We probably need more support. You’re a trooper. Rock on.

I have been catching up on your uploads since I took a new travel assignment in California to help out with the pandemic. First, congratulations on your engagement! Second, I am so happy you are on the trail again. I follow a few each year and I am happy to continue to watch your journey for 2021 as I get ready for my own in the next year or two. So glad you are getting to meet people like Fresh Ground as well! Good luck and stay safe. 😊

Great video. Love the positive attitude even though your poor feet killed! Lots of great memories! And beautiful views! Keep smiling and have fun!!

Taylor, Great vlog...I am very impressed with that hostel! Thanks for including it! So glad you listened to your body...when it hurts... its no fun out there..sure hope the new shoes work for you! Be careful and have fun!

I can’t believe it was that quiet on Blood on such a sunny day. Glad you got the views.

Thanks for showing the dogs. The unsung heroes of the trail.

Keep your chin up Taylor!! A lot of folks are rooting for you! Take care of those feet!

Good luck with your new shoes. Tomorrow is going to be a good day. I look forward to seeing it.

Glad you got the view my friend . I live nearby and go to Mountain Crossings and Blood fairly often. Glad to have you back in our state and sorry about your foot!!!

Great content, I gotta binge watch to catch up. Found ya Saturday night after work. Love the realness of the videos without annoying music.

Such a cute place! Fresh & clean😍

Great video! If I'm going on a long hike I rub vaseline onto my toes, the ball of the foot, and all around the heel. Works great every time at mitigating heat and friction. Used it recently on a 30 mile hike in hot weather. Invaluable.

Hello from Switzerland. I hope the new shoes are more comfortable from this day forward. :-)

Morning NH! That is a beautiful hostel! You know us NE folks can't take sun exposure this early in the season! sunscreen up! Sucks about the blisters, can't remember if you have any luko tape or not. I love that stuff and it has saved me many times. I had that same foot issue as you going from LP 4.0 to 4.5. I hope the new shoes help out. Plantar pain in the worst! Epic views off Blood mountain, I hope mine in 22' are just as awesome. Thank you so much for another great video. Keep truckin' and Be well. -Grateful

You are a awesome hiker. Let hope the new shoes do the trick. I have Hike the AT in that area of GA.

Keep on trucking lady love the vid. Looking forward to da next one! Hope the feet are better!

Congrats on making it to making it past the first major the milestone on the trail by passing the shoe tree. I'm glad you listened to your body and are taking care of your feet. Everyone talks about the "big 3," but unless you're shoes are working for you the "big 3" isn't getting you there. Looking forward to starting my thru hike in a few weeks!

I was having issues with my Altra's as well and just bought a pair of those Saucony Peregrines too! They felt great in the store so hoping to try them on trail soon. Loving the vids Taylor!

Beautiful day for Blood Mountain...new shoes...whooohooo !!!

Cool vid. I feel like I a hiking with you. Your videos really bring the experience to the viewer!! Thanks! Also prepares people for what they might expect if/when they decide to hike the trail also.

Blood Mountain View’s today were amazing 🤩 sorry your feet were hurting so bad. Hopefully the new shoes will do the trick.

Those new shoes look like Saucony Peregrine. I did a review on those recently if you want to check it out. They don't get a lot of hype on the trail but are great shoes in my opinion.

Wishing you all the best with your new shoes, hopefully they are more comfortable. Next time you see balloons on the trail: please pick them up. Leave no Trace is something we stand by. Have fun, be carefull and enjoy yourself! Sophie, Switzerland 🇨🇭

You’re killing it Taylor!

I guess that’s why so many shoes are hanging at the first big restock resupply place! Shoes not working ...get new ones! Good luck!

Thanks for sharing the video! I also like Sacouny Exodus 10, high cushion and comfortable!

That shelter was awesome! I'm hoping you do a video in your recap/end of trail series on the best hostels. For me I noticed the Lone Peaks midsole is shot after about 300 miles that causes foot pain. Your lucky...this weekend forecast is calling for -20 with windchill in many parts of NH. Enjoy the nice weather.

Glad you were able to get some different shoes!! You Go Girl🙂

whenever I get the notification for ur video I get so exited

I walked right through Neel's Gap without buying any resupply, except a frozen pizza for lunch. I reckon that is how one conducts oneself. YMMV. Rock on, nahamsha.

You had such a beautiful day for a Blood Mountain summit. If Altras don’t work out for you, switch to Hokas! We switched brands about 800 miles into our thru hike last year. Footwear makes or breaks your adventure! Cheers and can’t wait to see the rest Taylor!!

Thanks for the blood man views...hope your feet feel better soon🙏🙂

I hope your feet are doing better ! It makes a hike difficult for anyone when you have to deal with any pain! I’ll be following you! Hike On!😃

Hope your feet feel better with those new shoes. Foot pain is no fun. Best of luck! Love watching your channel.

Your doing great! I hope your feet respond well to the new shoes! And you seemed much more relaxed in front of the camera today!

Bill at Mountain Crossings is the best! He hooked me up with a ULA Circuit. Spent a ton of time with me trying on several packs. He's great!

I hope the shoes help. I had foot issues early on and found it helped to stretch my calves and soak my feet in a cold stream.

Good luck with the new shoes. Good video thanks.

Glad you got some new shoes. 😃👍🏼

Great video. Hope your feet feel better. Keep on hiking.

I am nobody so take this with a grain of salt. The first original from NH so I am rooting for you. I just started hiking myself. The Alta shoes that everyone recommended tore my feet up. I ended up with HOKA speed goat 4 (comfortable ) Try Farm to Feet sox (Damascus ) they don't have the line at the toe You are doing "Wicked Good " just would like to recommend looking at your diet both for your health and because you now the inspiration for many to follow. I appreciate what you are doing , the positive attitude is infectious

Hopefully the new shoes help your foot pains go away! Stay safe and enjoy!!

Hoping that your new shoes work. Wow a lot of people so early in the year. Your moving right along most people don’t make it that far in 3 days.

4:23 These little cut scenes to smashing snacks are hilarious lmao 😂

Sorry about your feet. Hope the new shoes are working out. That was some hostel..and Blood Mountain, so good to see it on a sunny day!! Excellent attitude and video.

new shoes look cozy!! hope everything works out ☺️ keep us updated if you like them!

They're nice! I've still been having foot problems, so I don't think it's the shoes fault. I think it's my lack of training and big miles. But I've been resting a lot to hopefully get back to normal soon!

Hope the new shoes work for you. Had similar issues and was “prescribed” insoles. They were quite a bit stiffer than what I was used to but figured the doc would know what was best...ended up making problem worse. I have found replacement specialty insoles to be quite tricky...never found a pair that really alleviated anything better than a fresh pair of what I was already wearing...for me those are Salomon’s ... 20 yrs and still w same brand. Just keep listening to your body and take action right away! Best of luck❤️

Beautiful day up on Blood! 🌈🦋

My very first hike in a pair of Lone Peaks resulted in me losing a toenail. I switched to a half size larger, and loved them! I like how they aren't rigid. Almost like modern moccasins.

Bet you are sorry you missed the single digits temps and -20 wind chill yesterday...lol

Your new shoes look like the Saucony brand I use for running(My first pair of trainers for cross-country)! I can't remember what the name of them were! But the ones I'm using now for running/walking and for work are the Saucony Excursion TR13s! I'm loving them so much! Hope they're working out for you!

Great video! that hostel is so nice! Be safe have fun! Take care of those feet!

Loved the Intro!

Its very early in the hike, I think that your feet will settle in just fine but it may take a bit of time and a few more miles, The shelter looked awesome.

A little hot chocolate and a warm cozy place for you toes at the end of the day...and the whole world is a beautiful place. 😁 What more could one wish for.

Good luck with the new shoes, Hopefully, they solve the issue if sore feet :) Hike~On~~>

Girl, I'm sorry your feet hurt. I hope you found a solution. Beautiful day. Keep trekking.

Great video...You can do this... peace. We are pulling for you...

Good video with some good views, so let's keep on hiking 🚶‍♀️😀

Doesn't look like there's many people hiking this year? Best of luck to you !

You are doing great. Just a thought for a future series. Have you considered doing a comparison of your two thru hikes of the AT? Maybe splice together video from the same sections and then add your comparison? I hope you don't have too many issues with the wildfire smoke.

YAY for new shoes!!!

Nice shoes! I go with the Brooks Cascadia 15.

Hope the new shoes work out well. I've heard several people this year having early foot problems with them this year.

Glad you got new shoes. The other ones looked shot. I have heard from a lot of hikers that their shoes didn't last as long a they thought they should. Some only lasted 250-300 miles. That would mean a lot of shoes for the hike. I hope yours last longer. Dianne

Good luck w the feet! Stay strength!

I use super feet shoe inserts to give my arches some support. They also fit perfectly in the Altras wide toe box.

Goodluck on your adventure from a fellow New Englander.

I am so jealous. I cannot wait to start hiking with no snow.
