Just yesterday I decided it was time to start looking for vlogging 2018 thru hikers on YouTube. I've found a few who seem promising, etc. So far this guy is my favorite. Absolutely entertaining, unapologetic, a total noob hiking his own hike.

error alert -- he's not from here so ya gotta make allowances -- but in video 3 the "views from blood mountain" were actually from preachers rock about a mile or so N of woody gap. he still had another 6 miles or so to the summit of blood.
lol, he talks alot about getting a late start so i guess that's why he made it to the hawk mountain shelter after dark via headlamp. that's where i ate lunch the first day and i'm just an average hiker.2,000 miler -

No, not trolling at all. I'm genuinely enjoying this guy's videos. I hope he makes it all the way, if for no other reason than to piss off the purists and naysayers. Dude's a lot of fun.

Wheezi was reminiscent of my condition last weekend. After spending several weeks at sea level, I was wheezing when hiking at 4-5k feet in southern Utah.

I’ve gotten away from the trail videos, just to many to vet, so I appreciate the tip off.

I’d add ‘after shave’ pored through a loaf of white bread as a rock bottom looserville drink, oh, and beer seems to be the gateway drink according to the study...but I think it’s probably vodka as a kids first nip from the cabinet...in a plastic jug o’coarse.
