Little Bear, "well, that was boring ". 😂

😂 Her timing was impeccable.
Your attitude about being excited to head back out on trail even into the rain, your newfound sense of comfort and peace in your tent, and your ability to find beauty in a little mushroom are signs of great travelers! Carry on, ladies.

That Breakfast 🤤 Those Waterfalls 👍🏼 Congrats on 400 Miles!😎👍🏼 Go Mama Bear & Little Bear Go! 👟🐻🐻👍🏼
‘I smell like a day hiker!’ Lol. Put that on a t-shirt. I’ll buy it!! 😂
... Nice day on trail .. streams and rivers a scenic spots but also game trails for the wildlife ... to avoid interactions that you don't want through the night , it's recommended to camp at least 200 ft. From water sources ... a late night romp of chipmunks and squirrels can sound like a herd of wild animals when you are trying to sleep .... and the bugs,, mosquitoes can be extreme near water .... also the posibility of creek rising in heavy rains while you sleep and flooding your tent site ... ... "Well ,, that was boring " ...lol .. .. Got to listen to trail medic Little Bear ,, need to drink lots of water while using those bodies ,,, drink a sip here and there all day ,, all along the hike , prevents lots of issues .... 'they say' if you wait until you're thirsty ,, you're past body needs ... .. love hearing Little Bear let the thoughts roll as they come .. she's sharp and has wonderful wit ... Stay Safe and God Bless ...
Safety tip sitting up camp next to water in heavy rain not the best idea flash floods happen a.lot in the mountains

Good video as always. Thanks for sharing your journey. BTW, I know you delay your videos, but what degree quilt are you using now? I will be section hiking that section to Damascus next week. Thanks.
❤ LITTLE BEAR IS GROWING UP QUICKLY
No Pain, No Rain, No Maine!! I'll remember that!! Prayers for Prepper.🫶
I think for me the worry of smelling and feeling gross is a major hold back! You spend your whole life not wanting to be stinky😂😂! You girls are awesome! Prayers for Prepper!
Little Bear you are amazing ❤
Happy Mother’s Day Great Mama Bear❤

Congratulations on 400 miles! I love the role reversal of LB asking the questions at the end of the day 😂 and you missing the 400 mile as the highlight.
Happy Mother's Day Mama Bear! I pray that the headache has gone away. Take care of yourself. I wanted to say that I love when little bear talks. She has such a grown up voice and is a delight to see. I don't believe I was this grown at 11 years old. Love to you guys.
Happy Mother’s Day!!! Such a beautiful video! I cracked up at the baby waterfall 🤣🤣 Little Bear your “that’s boring “ comment had me rolling 😂 400 MILES!!! WHAT??? How can it be? It was a blink ago that you hit 100 miles🥰 I hope you both are having a wonderful day on trail and I really hope you have signal so you can talk to your family today💗💗 Hugs and prayers 🙏💗🥾🏕️🌲🌳

Funny you mentioned smelling like a day hiker. In a video last year by Gabi Cerra they referred to day hikers as "trail fresheners" and I thought it was funny but after a few days in the Adirondacks last year I got the experience first hand. Too funny!

That was pretty funny.
Lol,the auto generated sub titles said "applause " for the heavy rain sounds. 😆
Good morning, Mama Bear and Little Bear. That waterfall was awesome. I love running water. I liked the baby waterfall also. Ya'll did well today, hiking through the rain and mud. Yuck! Hang in there. This, too, shall pass. The cemetery was so peaceful. And really pretty. Big congrats on 400 miles. What an accomplishment. Always nice to have Ellie check in with us. She looks like she is also enjoying her hike. Ya'll take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
I'm glad to hear prepper had such a good outcome, and that he's spreading awareness. Open wounds are no joke, and too many people don't take them seriously enough. I lost a colleague a few years ago to stepping on a coral at the beach. The doctors missed a piece of it that broke off in his foot, and he got sepsis and passed away a couple weeks later. Anyway, new sub here and really enjoying your updates! Little Bear is so impressive. A lot of adults hike, but so many kids these days camp out on their screens. Best of luck to you both and I look forward to seeing you reach Katahdin. Happy Mama's Day!

Please be careful camping near a small stream. They can grow into a river fast. I not say the one in your video would but I grew up in the mountains and we had a small stream behind our house. But sometimes when it rain it would flow like a river.

I can confirm this. I once almost got swept down the West Branch of the Peabody River in NH when it rose almost 5 feet overnight. When I woke up it was 6 inches below the bank. This was at Dolly Copp campground.

@@RobertSmith-km6gi The reason I brought it up was on US 27 south side of a little town in Tenn. called Rockwood. A Boy Scout Troop was camping by a creek called Whites Creek. That night a storm came up and the creek rose killing some of the Scouts. They put up a marker of what had happened.

Rain for about 10 days…talk about a character builder! Little bear…this is your time. You may need to keep mamma bear focused! Good luck! Also, bensiol peroxide is a blister hack. Also, can’t say enough about leukotape. Good luck…enjoying the vids!

Pretty Waterfalls, and how very nice to sleep by the little river. Happy trails.
I’m a photographer and thought I’d share a quick tip for shooting amazing photos with your iPhone. Put the camera in Live mode. Take the photo. Go into edit mode for the photo you just took and in the upper left, switch from Live to Long Exposure. Your water fall photos will have that soft beautiful streaky water. Oh, and Happy Mothers Day.

The chef really puts some love into those breakfasts. ❤ Happy Mothers Day, and congratulations on 400 miles!!🎉🎉🎉 I loved the waterfalls very beautiful. It amazes me how loud water can be. Even a trickle in a stream can be loud sometimes. Must be that God wants you to know where a water supply is. You guys have inspired me to get out and hike. I used to hike a lot. But I need a hip replacement and walk with just one crutch to get around. I need to kinda lean so a cane doesn't work really well. Anyway, my daughter, grandson, and I went for an almost 2 mile hike on an area of the Ice Age Trail near our town. It took about 40 minutes or so, but I did it. My plan is to work up the miles comfortably, to be able to take my 6 grandsons, 8,9,10,11,12,15 on a 10 mile hike on the Ice age Trail. There's a nice campground around 5 miles to stop and camp. Other family members will have camp set up and bring food, so we're not carrying a bunch.Im excited. Great job, Bears!! You're doing great!❤ ✌️🫶
"Well, that was boring!" lol. Your attitude in the rain is inspiring.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mama Bear!❤️🧸🧸🧸🧸🐻🐻 Congratulations Bears, 400 hundred miles! Sorry to hear about your friend but so happy to hear he is on the mend. How thoughtful of him to pay for hostel stay. Pure love and compassion! My highlights were the birds singing their hearts out, the water falls and Little Bear quickly setting your tent up. Great job Little Bear! Rain, rain, rain….bummer but life isn’t all sunshine and roses. You both will endure I’m sure of that. Love and light to both. When the rain gets to be to much just start singing songs about the rain. Ready… I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain What a glorious feelin', I'm happy again I'm laughin' at clouds so dark up above The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face I walk down the lane with a happy refrain Just singin', singin' in the rain. 🐱🧸🐻⛰️🥾💧☔️🌧️♥️👍🙂↕️

First and foremost, a Happy Mother's Day to you Mama Bear!🌹🐻🌹 Congratulations on 400 miles MB, LB and EB! As you can see by my thumbnail, I ❤ waterfalls too...even the baby ones. 😂 Made me chuckle when you said that MB. High humidity is really tough. You're body can't efficiently cool in those conditions. It will deceptively dehydrate you for sure. Nice wrap up LB. Your sense of humor is priceless. 😀 Shout out to Prepper for his generosity and for a speedy recovery. Rest well bears 🌲🏕🌲

Just as you and all the others out there are in my prayers for a safe journey! Stay safe & Hike on. Goodnight momma little bear and of course Ellie. ❤️🙂🥾🙏💕🌻🏕️🧗♀️😸

Congrats on 400 miles! Sorry you had so much rain, but glad you could use the shelter for lunch break. The Isaac cemetery was interesting. So large, and looks like it's been used recently. Wonder how folks access it. The blue blaze to Jones Falls seemed to be worth the trip. Hope you were able to sleep off the headache, MB.. Mine used to be affected by weather & barometric pressure. Enjoyed LB opening and closing, and of course seeing Elle.
