    Best Long Trail video ever! I watched it all in one go. You really captured the ups and downs of a thru-hike and Luke was an awesome supporting actor. All worth the wait!!

    Thanks, Evan!!! I appreciate that even more, since I know you understand what it’s like to Thruhike AND what it’s like to put together a full trail video!😅 Forgot to tell you the other day… I rewatched your full AT vid while i was working on this edit. Man, you really nailed that and it’s like hard for me to comprehend how you were able to piece it all together the way you did. My brain literally only works in chronological order so I can’t seem to figure out how to skip around and just cut to the plot points like you do and make it make sense. I know my editing has improved a million times though since having you as a mentor, so thank you!

I've hiked it before but in 2 large sections. In '15 I hiked from the AT cut off North to Canada. I saved the southern section so I could enjoy it during my AT hike in '21. . Hoping it's a bit dryer than your trip but it's great to be out in the mountains anytime. Best to you and Luke always, Mad Rat 😎

    Mad Tom Shelter, if I recall, was a closed-in lean to overlooking a beautiful vista. I did the first 85 miles in May and tapped out in Rutland. There was no one on the trail and the trees were still leafless. Ice on some of the higher ridges. Having hiked and lived in the Whites in my teens and early 20s I found the LT to be less elevation change, but deceptively hard on the legs and feet.

Met an AT hiker (class of 2018) on the last stretch before Lake Placid. He nodded enthusiastically when I suggested this as another next biggie before. I know it gets way harder after that first 100...that's what I'm worried about...but clearly the BEST views :) Was it pretty well marked? I'm solo, but have a Garmin.
