Glad Dixie gave you a shout out, Cory. Both of you are a real inspiration for the rest of us.

I’m thrilled that you tagged Cory (Second Chance Hiker). He is such an inspiration, and his indefatigable humorous nature as he comments is downright precious.

That is so awesome of you to give Corey (Second Chance Hiker) a shout out!!! He has become such an inspiration to everyone who watches his videos!!!

I can absolutely appreciate a lady who drinks a pbr on the trail. Now i dont feel so alone up on this hill havein a nice cold pbr lol. Thanks so much for the videos. Much appreciated!

Love these silly little tag videos! My three items when hiking are a pillow as I've never had a good night sleep using my down jacket under my hat, a pair of basic sandals for the evenings so I don't have to keep my boots on when I'm in camp/town, and my journal so I can write it all down while it's fresh in my head - there is nothing better than paper and pen.

Awesome! Thank you so much for doing this! I had no idea when I created this challenge that it would reach the top! You’re the best EVER!!!!!!!

I've been watching seeking lost and 2nd chance! Good to see them mentioned here!

Watching Second Chance Hiker. Thanks for pointing him out. Great sense of humor, and a never quit attitude. I am big into fitness and I don't care what shape you are in, as long as you are trying. This guy is definitely trying.

Love supporting Second Chance Hiker. I was almost ready to fly there and see how I could help him.

Second Chance Hiker has made it to Waren Springs on 22nd March and has lost 35lbs and 6 inches from his waist! He's passed his 100 mile mark on day 26 when he did 10 miles! Go it Cory :)

I love the fact you tagged Second Chance Hiker, you both are inspirational!

Always love your videos Dixie! I started watching you during your AT thru hike, and went along for the other two. My husband and I met Perk in Pagosa Springs last year during a trip to CO. What a treat! Cory at Second Chance Hiker is such an inspiration! Those of us who have lost heart for our own thru-hike are finding his videos very encouraging. Thank you for tagging him.

That was nice to call out Second Chance Hiker. Just started catching a couple of his videos.

Thank you, Dixie! I’m flattered!

Deanna McGregor You’re gonna be my go to source of info for the the Camino. Other people should know about that resource, too! Especially folks who wanna hike with their children :)

Sorry for not communicating often enough, but I've seen nearly ALL you videos. Just wanted say YEY Second Chance!! and so so glad you tagged him. We are ALL pulling for him. Thank you, Dix for your inspiration!

Thanks so much for the link to Second Chance Hiker! So inspiring and completely different from most hiking channels.

My luxury item was to take my knitting and crocheting on the JMT. The first year I was knitting a helmet liner for a soldier, but realized that I did not need 2 skeins of yarn. The 2nd year I took 4 hand warmers,- then at Lake 12,250, I camped during a thunderstorm and invited a trail runner to share my tent as she was soaking wet and shivering (she had her own tent, but it is faster to set up a tent w/ 2 people.) After I gave her all of my extra dry clothing, and fed her a hot drink, I remembered that I had these warmers and she put one in each sock, and one for her hands. (I kept 1 for future emergencies.) I was very happy when she finally stopped shivering. We survived a stressful night without any lightning strikes. I know consider the hand warmers as part of my emergency supplies.

Thank you for tagging Second Chance Hiker. Dude is the bomb, if not a little scary.

I love the beauty you shared along your travels. Slow mo dragonflys are amazing.

Thanks for sharing your luxury items with us! On short overnighters I take a Primus lantern (6 oz) and an extra canister of fuel; nothing like the soft warm glow around camp!

Pillow, flask single barrel bourbon, flyrod, if it's summertime baby wipes. Always bring my best trail companion who never ever complains, my English Labrador! Get out and backpack no matter how or what you bring! Love ya Dixie, great job, keep it up!

Binoculars! A small pair. ! My favorite reason for carrying them was when coming out of Yellowstone into Jackson Hole there was, at last!, a grizzly bear way far away out in a meadow. Just a little brown dot in the green. But with the binoculars, I was able to see that she was eating a big bunch of buttercups that were hanging out of her mouth. The juxtaposition of the tender yellow buttercups with huge grizzly teeth was a sight I will never forget!. At Canyon Lands and Arches, I could see beautiful cliffs and canyons far away that I couldn't get to. I really enjoyed having that thing around my neck and used it all the time!

I once took a Watermelon to an overnight at Camp Muir. 10,000 feet up the side of Mt Rainer. It tasted so good.

If I ever go hiking on a 90 degree day you want to join me ? Only drawback is that you have to carry the watermelon. I'll bring the rest of the food (and I'm a good cook).

Dixie, I just gotta comment, if you don't enjoy the hike, it just aint worth doin' it!!! I.E. there's no such thing as "luxury items" !!! LOL And, yes, I'm loving watching Corey!!

LOVE that you tagged Deanna and Cory!

Thanks for the update. You are always an inspiration. My next trip, I am bringing a pillow as my new luxury item. I was curious about your thoughts on the umbrella though.

Thank you for playing along. This challenge has been fun to watch everyone's post.

Haha thank you for playing along with this. Crazy how far it’s gone haha I bet Dan is ecstatic to see his challenge gaining so much ground haha. Have a good one :).

Great video! I'm glad you tagged Corey. I've been watching him - Great humor and even greater grit!

While on the AT I found a ping pong ball in Hot Springs NC. I had alot of fun playing shoe tennis at the shelters. Became the perfect trail game and probably the lightest thing in my pack.

Just found your channel and subbed. Fantastic content. Can't wait to learn from experienced thru-hikers.

Hey Dixie! I figured you'd include your umbrella as one of your luxury items. After seeing you with yours I got one myself. Not only for precipitation, but I'm a "shade seeker". Best wishes!

So glad you tagged second chance hiker. He is an inspiration and so funny to watch. He is truly living life and fully enjoying the trail. 💕💕💕 thanks for another awesome video Dixie!

Hello Dixie, thank you for sharing another fine video. You are a gold mine of information. I always look forward to your next video. Take care, be safe and always have fun. 🤗

Dixie you are my main inspiration! Would give anything to go on a hike with you and to learn from you! Thank You for all your videos. They are more appreciated than you'll ever know!

I've been subscribed to Cory from his beginning the PCT. He truly is inspirational. Glad you found him.

Thank you for tagging Second Chance! I’ve really enjoyed his videos so far.

I must comment on baby powder. People underestimate it. When I worked back in the day we all dowsed ourselves with it before we put on our under shirts. It helped keeping you cooler and dryer wearing a Kevlar vest. As far as the ass crack? Yup! Always have that travel size on me. Thanks for the video. :)

Love your channel Dixie. Congratulations on the Triple Crown too! Could you do a video on how your KZread channel/thru hiking has changed your life. Thanks, happy hiking.

So good of you to mention Second Chance 👍🏼

I once saw a man bringing his collapsible garden chair for a multi-day backcountry hike. It looked hilarious hanging on his bagpack.

Very good items chosen for comfort luxury over need. It's hard for one to really think about what they need versus what they want to take gear wise. Using the hand warmers on certain places help warm me up all over. Winter I use them a lot. worth the weight especially if you get the reusable ones like I have.

Folding camp stool is my favorite luxury item! Hint- baking soda works for freshening hair and feet too, plus cleans up cooking pots too.

Dixie, way back when you did your last Luxury item video you mentioned your Collapsible cup.. my wife and I both went out and got them.. they are one of our favorite luxury items. So thank you very much!!

Seekinglost has incredible videos of his CDT hike. I notice you in some of the videos. Awesome!

Yes second chance hiker inspired me to get hiking again as you did back in 2017 with your AT videos. Loved it when he joked about doing the limbo.

Good stuff, as always! Congrats on the triple crown, whoop-whoop! Thanks for all the great vids and info!

My sea to summit pillow is now an essential "luxury" item. As is my A&D ointment for when things get REALLY chaffed in those "nether regions"! Hike on Dixie! Tortoise

That was so awesome you tagged Cory! He has the most inspiring videos I've ever seen. Anything is possible! 😊

Thanks for sharing and thank you for tagging Second Chance Hiker. He is definitely an inspiration and has a wonderful personality. I wish success in his journey and of course continued success in everything you do Dixie. That reminds me, have you started your herbal business again?

It’s so awesome you gave a shoutout to @secondchancehiker.

Hey Dixie. Been following for awhile now!! Love your logs and encouragement for people like me! My luxury item 1 would be a tube of bath and body works cream lotion. It’s nice to smell nice and smells really impact my memories. Gosh lotion may take 2 maybe all 3 luxuries. If I had one more it would be a great camp pillow. Haven’t fount the perfect one for me yet. Thanks for your vlogs. ❤️

Just subscribed to second chance hiker! So excited to watch his journey! That’s for the rec. Love your channel so much Dixie!

Second Chance Hiker definitely gets me interested. Funny guy and I hope he succeeds

I used a Johnny heater at the small of my back for an Alaska trip. I also put a pouch in my sleeping bag for the little heater. It is basically a large zippo type lighter that has been around for decades. A little heavy (you have to carry fuel for it) but it really does a good job. I have hung it from a lanyard around my neck under my jacket, or just stuck it in a pocket..

Somehow Restless got Sintax to do this tag and now you! 😱 Adam and Dan are good KZread friends of mine! 😀 Yes, I did my tag video about a month ago. Thanks for doing this tag it's been fun.

Great video as usual Dixie. I have not carried talc powder, but definitely am not a fan of greasy hair or chafed legs, so I am going to add that to my list. Looking forward to your next adventure.

Hey - try swapping the STS cup for a Fold-A-Cup from Wildo! Same function, pretty much same volume but they only weigh 25g, so half of your current cup. Also it's got a wide base and doesn't spill over like ever. It's a Swedish design classic since the 70s, still going strong. Should be available on Amazon for $3 or something :)

Second Chance hiker and you have inspired me so much. I'm almost 54 and just started buying pieces of hiking equipment. I will admit thou I'm scared. I don't know why thou.

My girlfriend and I meet a 70 year old thru hiker who was around 700 miles in on the PCT in Yosemite a few years back. She said she had never backpacked before the tip, was doing only 5 or 6 miles the first few days, but the day we met her she had just finished 22 miles in a day.

Don't be. I've done up to 60 mile day hikes, with a full size camera, lenses, tripod, and a pack full of 'just in case' gear. I'm still often passed by hikers in their late 60's and 70's. In my 20's a friends dad, who was in his mid 60's, would hike a mountain with us each year. 11,700+ feet, 9,000+ foot climb, 17 mile round trip. His father would often beat us to the top.

Absolutely agree, Second Chance Hiker has an awesome attitude! Rooting for him big time.

Hey! What about the umbrella! That's totally a luxury item! I mean, you have rain gear...the umbrella is extra! Still, when I hike the AT next year, I'm getting one for sure... thanks for all the great content and advice, Dixie! Your the best proponent and enthusiast for hiking/camping/adventure I've seen so far and definitely the main one for me FINALLY making the commitment to hike the AT NEXT YEAR! It's going to happen, promise! Cheers! :D

Thanks for sharing another great video! ATB : )

Two thumbs up for this video and pat on the back to the big guy for tackling the pct. Maybe someday I'll get a chance to hit some trails.

Love watching second chance hiker. He rocks 🙌🏼 🏔🏕

Love it, Dixie! So glad you tagged Second Chance!

Love love love that you tagged second chance!!! Great guy... an inspiration (just like you 😀)

So glad you shouted out second chance!!!

Thanks for the tag! Luxury items... does extra food count?? haha. Video response coming soon :)

Awesome items and tags Dix! Love Adam and Dan! Thanks for sharing!

And yet another hit by Dixie.. I have a inflatable pillow , WOW it makes a difference. And thanks for all of the gear reviews. you have been an inspiration to me and countless others. I'd love to buy you some coffee and i'd even share some bacon with ya.

Wow! The tag made it all the way to the largest backpacking youtuber! That’s awesome Dixie! Great vid and enjoyed seeing you get in on the fun!!! Dan is an amazing guy too!!!

Another channel to check out---Justin Barbour and his dog Saku. Not technically a thru-hiker because he doesn't follow an established trail, but he is currently posting videos from their winter/spring crossing of Newfoundland (by snowshoe, backpacking and pack raft) and I'm sure he will soon begin posting their 83-day attempt to cross Labrador. He is interesting, but, even though I am not a dog person, Saku is the star.

Soo glad you tagged Second Chance !

Love the notebook luxury item. I got the AT passport but it’s not the same, close though. Second chance hiker is about to go viral lol ⛰ he’s been a great inspiration and deserves it for sure.

Great choices thank you for sharing

Awesome👏✊👍😎 Love this video, thank you for recommending Second Chance Hiker, I'm really enjoying his journey 🙏😁❤

Way to tag Cory! Second chance hiker I’m sure has watched you a time or two

Always great to see you Dixie.Great that you tagged Cory👍

Thanks for the video Dixie. Baby powder is definitely a multipurpose item. Luxury items for me would be coffee, wool socks and anti microbial hand sanitizer.

deborah gracie it depends on the person doing the hiking. Not every person thinks alike and what some deem a necessity others may see as a luxury.

Have read the journals of explorers in jungles etc and baby powder was an absolute necessity! Maybe even more for guys. Plus, if you check the videos of any Scandinavian trekker, they ALL carry a carved wooden cup, a kuksa, folding cup not a luxury at all.

I do enjoy watching your channel. Thanks

you're a luxurious hiker I see..some people took this challenge and went crazy..it was cool to see everyone's gear...

Tip: if your shoes or gloves are damp, if you out the handwarmers inside over night, they absorb the moisture and might even be warm the next morning.

Been watching you since the AT thru hike! Love the videos!!

So cool to see some of my fav’s supporting Cory And another good video from Dixie

I cut up a closed foam pad to make a sitting pad. It so nice to not sit in the dirt and have a little cushion.

Gotta have my pillow and sea-to-summit sleeping pad!

Saw all the damage from the tornadoes in your area, hope you and your family are okay, LUV all your videos.

Cory's going a long way, literally! For me a luxury item would be anything that costs 6 times as much.

hand warmers are bomb, i tape one at a time to my chest above my heart on top of a shirt and it will warm your blood as it travels through your body..... great cheap n awsome source of heat...i use the lint brush tape

I've been following 2nd Chance Hiker, too. I have selfishly been wishing he's put out longer videos and more updates :)

Nice video and love that other KZreadrs are spurring the trend of the topic! I might make a video of my own luxury items. Thanks Dixie!

Yes Cory! I've been following him. I'm really rooting for him. I myself lost 100 pounds from hiking. I can't wait to see him finish. I know he can.

Awesome luxury items!!!!

I am 100 % on board with Baby Powder a small trick to save weight is to transfer it into a ziplock style bag and not carry the container at all ? All your other items make lots of sense to me as well Although i am not well informed on the Garmin you speak about The majority of my hiking has been on the A T and cell service was usually ok and i always found the available trai maps pretty good making it hard to get lost o course not impossible and generally the trail is marked pretty well and well traveled IMO

My lux items are a full length ZRest with the short Neoair. SpotX instead of a PLB, And I use a TI 900 pot and truck stop beanie for a cozy to rehydrate stuff, use the pot as a bowl. The thing is big enough for a full 15 ox. Can of C store chili when travelling. (Food you don't tell your Mom about)
