Thank you for sharing the financial costs involved. It allows future thru hikers to form a realistic expectation of the cost of trail life. You are the only channel I have seen so far that has been so exacting and it is a valuable tool.

We watched you guys in 2017 as you prepped and went onto the trail here. I personally thank Greg on his due diligence completing the weekly wrap ups. I as a planner gave my the needed understanding of what it takes to get Buttons and I saved up for the trail. Next year for 2024 AT thru hike. Love going back to you videos and still learning from them still. Hope to see you guys possible next year and staying with you two. Thanks again. Also we understand the inflation of this hike will be adjusted accordingly. 😃

So glad the videos were helpful. When we were researching we never ran across anyone who documented their spending, so I thought I would. Hope to see you guys on your future thru. Greg

@@ChicaandSunsets I saw you Greg on time a few years ago dropping off some section hikers ar winding stair gag when we were also getting dropped off. We did 40 miles SOBO to Dicks creek gap. Wasn’t able to introduce ourselves because we knew you were busy with you customers. But it was exciting to see you.

Greg, good info. Too many fail to disclose the financial ends of thier trips, AT or otherwise. Very important info as it's a huge part of the hike. One thing i would love to hear about are the hardships and troubles as too many people on social media are always smiles and happy no matter what, it removes authenticity and give a false impression of reality. In the video it sounds like you are getting or have a cold, how are you dealing with it? On the tent, tenacious tape is light and deserves the name. Best material for repairs EVER.

In the north woods, Life of the wilderness guide; Adam Raven. Hey Adam, I've had this sinus congestion for a while. 2 doctors later still no solution. So, I'm hoping I can hike it away 😎 There are no additional symptoms there than some parts of the day I am congested. We definitely are trying to keep it real as we film. Enjoy your hike.

Wonderful that you are not getting a cold. It's a fear of mine. It's looking like rain for my first 4 days for me...but hey is what it is. Have you found a need for rain pants at all? What gear did you not need?

Have not used my rain skirt at all. Only used my rain jacket for about 20 minutes then it got too hot. If temp is warm and just a drizzle I'll just get wet. Have not used sun hat, sunglasses, or pocket knife.

I'm really enjoying watching your videos. I've followed several folks on the AT last year and this year and your videos are the most informative and the most fun. I'm a bit of a tech geek so I do hope at some point you'll share more about how you do your videos. Do you just use your iPhone 7+ to record? Do you record on both phones? Is all your editing done on one phone? With what app? Thanks for all your sharing!
