Another great video. Suggestion: Mail your metal wedding ring home. Replace it with a loose silicone ring if you feel compelled to wear a ring. I remember you wore some sort of ring on your last thru hike. My hands always swell when hiking. You run the risk of cutting off circulation in the finger with rings. Plus, you run the risk of the ring snagging on something and degloving the finger (ripping the skin and potentially the underlying tissues) with metal rings. My background: Retired Army Special Forces carrying heavy packs. Now I section hike after retirement until my eventual thru hike in 4 years when I will permanently retire after my second career. I've been happily married 27 years (after dating 8 weeks). My wife and I say we're married in our minds, not in our hands. Safe travels.
C'mon girl, you know better than to taunt that cat. She's gonna haunt you for the rest of the trail. Showing up in your tent when you least expect it. 🐱🐾👻
The first days, that section lookes so spooky that time of year.
Hey Taylor! Great Miles! Congrats! I love a good early start! Huge shout out to Cody! Everyone go give him some love on his channel and wish him luck with his tiny house adventure!!! Killer room! I hope you didn’t have to listen to any snoring!🙏 Thanks for bringing us along today. I hope tomorrow’s miles are kind. Keep truckin’ and be well. -Grateful
Gosh, that room at the hostel must feel like the Taj Mahal to a thru hiker! Good call on the decision to stay a second night. Great 22 mile day.
You have such a great attitude. Also, sincere thanks to you for not having really loud music in your videos, they are so much easier to enjoy. Take care!
Congratulations 🥾on a 20 mile day so early in your hike
Wow you’re incredible lol I’m dead after like 12 miles and 3-4k of gain 😂 always wowing me
I live in the Southerntier of New York State. 73 years to date. I have always been drawn to hiking the Appalachian Trail. Most hikers say that it is a must! I say...New York has it all...the trails, the views, the mountains, the wildlife. You all can enjoy the AT....I love NY !!! There us no place like home.
Thank you!!
This is life!
Hike your own way.❤ Good luck and thank you 😊 Ken NC

So romantic 🤣
I’m from NH, but now have a cabin not far from the AT in NC. I followed all your thru hike vlogs and met you at your shop in Meredith, with my sister. Your videos have given me great information and inspiration to do section hikes. Thank you. 😊
Looking good Taylor. In 2021 when you got your trail legs going you were flat out impressive in miles and speed. You,Finding Happy and The Field Trip all got me to walking daily in my life again and plan on getting back to at least day hiking again.
You go girl!
Nice Job, keep on hiking
Cold coming but nothing compared to NH. Some snow.
Love waking up to your videos ! Stay warm
Hey Nahamsha, I hiked the AT just south of the Kinsmans yesterday 3/19 and the high temp for the day was 22 with single digit wind chills so don't get up here too quickly 😉

I was on Moosilauke yesterday morning, 60mph wind and sub -30f wind chill. What a great summit though ❤ I can’t wait for Taylor to get back up here!
I enjoy tent camping on trail. I am noting the hostels and b n bs you use because they seem like a lovely resource. Enjoy. Critics bugger off.
You are doing Great!!🫶🏻👍🏻. GOD 'S PROTECTION and SPEED. LOVE FROM DALLAS, TEXAS
Good video with lots of good beautiful views, Ice all over the the trees, good job over 22 miles, so let's keep on hiking..
Great job a good day!!!
Congrats on your first 20+ mile day. Stay warm and safe!
Funny you found those 2 hooks in your pocket! Solid push today. Private room, no snoring! ✌️
This is so inspiring. Wishing you a safe journey.
One of my favorite hikers back on the trail 👍🤩🤩🤩
Congrats on hiking 22 miles. getting some views in in your hike today. Stay Safe and HIKE ON!!!
Following all of your steps. You go girl!!!!
Great start of the day 😊 Wow 20 miles you go girl. You look happy 😃. Have a great day!
I'm so glad to see you're doing the AT again! I followed your whole journey last time. You're doing a great job!
You are rocking it Taylor!
Congratulations on your first twenty-plus mile day of this hike, you're doing great. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! We watched all your videos of your last thru-hike, and can't wait to follow your journey this year. Be safe and enjoy!
Awesome to find those special spots and memories along the AT. Shout out to Cody.
I wasn’t going to watch you for the the third time but you are such an inspiration I’m sucked back in. Great miles Taylor.
wow absolutely incredible views! great job putting this video together, Taylor, I can see how much effort you put into it! thank you for sharing this amazing content for all to view 🤗
You GO Taylah😂. You're an inspiration 🚴♀️
Following your journey, again 👍 also enjoy seeing the creativity with the camera/ editing. The ending was spot on.
Great vid kid!!!😊👍⛰️❤️🙏🏻❄️🥶
Wow Taylor! You are eating up the trail! Congratulations on that mileage!I just saw in the comments that Cody Is coming to hike with you in Virginia! That's great! Thanks for an awesome video today..Take care!
Cracking up that you’re doing it again…thought about that myself…have fun!
Love Cody!!
Your rocking it lady. 🏕🥾💕
Congrats to u for not wanting to stop early (still light) in the day. Like my dad says “we r out here to hike, not take days off”
Great video
Getting your trail legs back, congrats on 20+.
Wow, over 20 miles, great!
Cool video of the trail
Huge Survivor fan too! I would also highly recommend Australian Survivor version. Hike on!
You are making me realize how slow I moved through Georgia and even into NC/TE
Make sure to separate all that extra weight in your pockets. You don't want the imbalance when hiking, so I recommend one hook in each pants pocket 😂

They look like the hooks that are used to hang cups from their handles. Just sayin'.
Taylor You were meant to be a AT vlogger youre so good describing everything! Keep going!!!!
doin good keep it up
Very jealous of you! I would give my left foot to hike the AT!
Hey : With all of those hostel visits you could do a review. Of course that would be later in your hike…. I think that would be Great!!!!! I would appreciate that. I’m sure others would like it too.
LoL, cup hooks…I’ve used those to hold tent lines on occasion…
I went hiking today it was almost 60 in Ma. I'd expect it to be much warmer in GA
You got this ^-^
Hiking in the dahk!
I really liked the southern part of the trail from 2021, before the leaves bud out on the trees. Big expansive views. You started rather later this time, yes? Last time it was late February I seem to recall. Closed up your shop?
3/20 Monday 30° this morning in mass. Suppose to be 50° by this afternoon.
Back on trail , once it gets you you'll be hooked. Followed you and Cody a couple of years ago, well done. recently saw a teaser from you that you were about to make an announcement regarding another trail excursion......my immediate reaction is where is she going this time ..triple crown here we come....NO....Te Araroa ...NO ....Europe ..NO...blow me down with a feather...AT....I got that wrong.
So far so good...I have all of the mileage algorithms working and we have actually integrated an AI unit to keep track of your speed...LOL....stay warm
22 miles; WOW!!! Congrats! BTW KZreadr Haze Outdoors (2022 Winner The Great Outdoors England) video: 100 Mile Hike Part 5 changed his plans too - now staying in hostels (video count 26 minutes)....so no complaints for you 💙
Looking forward to your thoughts about the area of the trail near our house. I live at the base of the Bald Mtns. in Tennessee. If you need anything while you're on the trail between Hot Springs N.C. and Camp Creek Bald (AKA: Viking Mtn.) let me know.
Cody was a great thru hike partner for you. So cool if you do a section together!
Taylor does 22 miles. Continued successes.
Awesome job. How do you like that pack so far? That one may be my next pack
I had the same gloves and loved them. My puffy was 600 fill and kept me warm. Even though you're in the "south," those elevations will keep that coldness up there. Did you close your gift shop?
Cody was very COOL …

Sweden tuning in from Australia, really inspiring for me to hit the AT. Currently looking to some sections on the Bicentennial National Trail. Haven’t really hiked for much more than a month but I’d like to do a longer one like one of the triple crowners over in America or here in Oz.
I’m hoping Cody will do a guest appearance!!!
Taylor, if the cat was at Gootch Gap, I am his hooman. His name is Gooch Kitty and he camps with me.....
Have you thought about walking different trails? Maybe the Colorado Trail or PCT?
Keep it going!!!

I would hike however far it took to reach the next hostel. lol
My hands always swell when I hike unless I use poles.
Glad you’re going to cut that extra weight from your pocket 😉
Why are cats so ****ing cute
Hi Taylor,do you know if Fresh Ground is still doing his trail magic?
When I jog, ZZ tops "under pressure" seems to always get stuck in my head? Do you ever get this on the trail? (Not meaning ZZ top, but any song)
Gotta ditch those heavy a** hooks asap 😂
Is it easy to get lost on trail or there signs everywhere
If you know you're going back to the same hostel do you slack pack?
My hands swell when I go from using poles, to not using poles.
Trekking poles, I wonder how she will get them back 🌻🌻

The poles help to stop swallowing fingers… elevation!!!
Do you need permits for camp sites and shelters
You hiking just Georgia or the whole trail?
Ah yes the old cat and mouse game… lol
Your body was losing salt through perspiration. That's what causes the hands to swell. Happens me quite a bit. Take care

Seems like quite a number of hikers don’t realize how cold can get in the Smokies even this time of the year. And also how much it rains. Can rain for a week straight. Looks like a lot of them make the wrong choice of footwear for the environment.

A good pair of waterproof insulating socks and Microspikes can go a long way to making trail runners work in cold, wet, snowy, and steep conditions. You’ve still gotta keep moving to generate heat in your feet and have warm dry socks to change into at night.

@@andymytys maybe but I’m not gonna try it. Shoes are engineered and design for specific tasks. Running shoes are made for running, not hiking with a backpack. Also, they don’t have very good torsional stability. This is what makes your feet very tired after a long day of walking on uneven trails. I’ve seen photos of hikers with their toes all beat up. That’s because those thin shoes was offer pretty much no protection. I would at least wear shoes designed for hiking.

@@Dave_Outside I hade lateral support issues with the Altra Lone Peaks and because I over pronate it was a really serious issue for the longevity of both the shoes and my knees. I put in the Superfeet Trek insoles, which have a carbon fiber component in them for rigidity, which took care of all my issues. 1000s of long distance hikers use trail runners for backpacking in mountain terrain each year without issues, on the AT, PCT, CDT, and other trails. If someone’s toes are getting beat up in trail runners I’d question if their shoe size was large enough. Overall, I find a 20 mile day is easier to walk and more comfortable on my feet in trail runners than in boots. YMMV. HYOH.
