    Hey kid!!! Keep doing what you do. I see so many girls with channels that feel they must show some skin to be in the game. I love how you edit, your feel is completely natural and becoming. Been subbed for a few years…. Because of how you carry yourself. Much respect. Jerry, near Glacier National Park in BC Canada. ✌️🇨🇦. Looking forward to the rest of your trip.

    After the lengthy comment I left on the previous Ultimate Glacier... video I will try to be brief this time. Thanks again for taking us along on what will be our 2nd armchair thru-hike of the CDT. (First time with Matt - 1st Church of Masochist Hikes- 2022-23. When you have time and electricity to spare on your hike, lol you can check out his channel if you don’t already know of him. So thank you again, for your fabulous coverage of my fav place Glacier National Park. Both Lea and I wish you safe travels and hiking. Don’t forget to make and have your group always make noise on the trail so the Grizzlies always are warned of your passing through their territory. God Bless and God Speed before the Colorado snow hits.
