That is some difficult footing at times, Derek! Hope you really enjoyed your recent, hard earned, day off. You are a trooper. You are soul therapy for many people. Well done!

Minor quibble- it was Unionville, NY (not NJ) that you stayed in. The trail follows the state line in that area.

I wish Pringles finished. I know it's hard being away, I lived it. But carrying tragedy with you to Katahdin and letting it go at that final sign is an experience I wish he could have had. No judgment, just a bit sad he got off. For those reading this, the magic awaits you further in the hike. Just keep moving forward. 🤘🕓

Very Good Video, thanks a lot :) Cant wait for my Hubba Hubba to arrive!

I started to watch your walk on the Appalachian trail in Virginia. I decided to watch episode1. A little backwards, nevertheless a great watch. I love your conversations. Very meaningful and so true in regards to introverts. We like our solitude, but don't want to feel alone. I love when you sing. Your song choices are perfect. You have a great voice and smile.

I am a writer...I love words...but your videos leave me absolutely speechless....without words to express my gratitude for the gift that you truly are. You are a born storyteller. The depth of these videos is something like I've never, ever seen or felt before! Thank you!

That terrain looks savage hard to be covering that amount of ground. Your a savage survivor 👏

Another inspiring video, Derek. You’re talent for documenting the human journey and interview technique is incredible. The mental side of these challenges should not be underestimated or ignored by people wishing to do these things. I ran a 100k ultra at the weekend and someone I met said “… you’re on your own with your mind for over 12 hours. And some people can’t do that. They can do the physical but not the mental”. Belief in yourself and allowing yourself to sit with those thoughts is really key to mental wellness I feel.

Derek it's great to watch you on this journey, you're an inspiration to a lot of people around the world keep up the fantastic journeys,I have a question how do you charge up your batteries for everything?

You’re a great inspiring man Derek and I’ve been following you for a long while. I’m learning a lot about my beautiful country. Never knew re the Giants causeway story though

I choose adventure too cool exciting video

Way to go Derek

❤ wishing you happy trails.

Thank you Derek. Your videos are beautiful in views as well as words. Following your journey is a blessing for me. Be careful. Stay safe wherever you are.✌️🙂💚

Your calmness with the bear was super cool, and I can just begin to imagine what it felt like to see the NY skyline at the end-as always, wonderful filmmaking and storytelling, Derek.

Some 70 million people here can trace their lineage back to your home. You're welcome here. Enjoy!

Flying it 💪 keep it up 👍

I do feel really spiritual watching your videos Derek. I love listening to your thoughts and I feel you capture the essence of this trail wonderfully.

I'm a Pennsylvania guy and l love my State,but if anyone in another State wants some(or all) our rocks,come and get some.It's a beautiful place.

Fair play Derek, you're so close now. It's an incredible journey so far! 💚

The Appalachian mountain range is the same mountain range from scotland and Ireland. Back when it was all Pangaea. Thats why it reminded them of home.

Beautiful sunny morning with birds singing so cheerfully! 😊

Your message from the son about his father gave me all the feels. What it would be to have one last talk with my Dad. There are those that know. That was a cliffhanger about the NY skyline. Safe travels and thanks for another video.

I stayed w/Pastor Doug when I went through that area in 2022. Terrific little family! (Rock Keeper)

Thanks ❤

Ohhh my God Derek have u landed in New York? What a video I was in tears as you’re having it so tough out there but knowing you, you ll make it to the end. Absolutely nail biting I’ll still honor my word if u come to NYC

You are an inspiration to me too

Thank you…Thank you for your candid sharing of your life events and moments of feeling humbled. Being able to share those the way you do is a blessing to others. Your positivity is contagious. Keep doing you. Safe travels!😊

Not everyone is a good storyteller, but you have the gift. I found in 1994 when I got home after my thru hike that it was hard to convey what my hike was like to friends and family. Most would ask what was so great about the AT when it seemed that I would struggle nearly every day. In your first few videos of this series, you had me back on that emotional rollercoaster that is a thru hike. The really extreme lows and magical highs, sometimes only minutes apart. Your hiking friend Emilia? sitting enjoying a view , amongst thousands of wildflowers and singing Amazing Grace was magical. And then Lee sharing the story of his son's death shook me. It has been thirty years since my thru hike and I believe you are by far the best at capturing what an AT thru hike is like. Thank you for pulling me in for the hike.

MY 91 YEAR OLD MOMMA PASSED YESTERDAY ❤

Thank you for another thoughtful video. I am glad I found your channel. It's not the walking - it's your thoughts and commentary that mean so much to me. If I was 30 years younger and in better health I would be there walking right next to you just for the meaningful conversation.

Your videos are amazing! I recently ran across one of your videos and it literally changed my life. I have recommended them to quite a few individuals. It's not just the beauty I see but your words. I found myself in turmoil as you described when beginning your first journey in Africa. I was watching one of your walks in Ireland, which I happened across accidentally. Something you said completely changed my perspective on life. If I had more time, I would explain in detail, but I wanted to say thank you for bringing peace back into my life. Back in 2003 my husband and I took a vacation to Maine and sailed on a schooner out of Camden for a week. After that adventure, we drove up to Baxter State Park and walked about five miles on the Appalachian Trail. At the time my husband was 57. He was going around saying he was getting old, even though he was in very good health and looked much younger than his age. We ran across 3 hikers who were just finishing their journey, walking from Georgia to Maine. We talked for a bit, and I asked their ages. One said he was 78; another 79; and the other 82. I looked at my husband and said to forget about age; just enjoy life as long as you have breath in you. He never talked about age again. Also, thank you for your walks around Ireland. My husband and I have been blessed to go on 3 trips there, once for over 6 weeks. We always drove and got off the beaten path, so I understand what you say about tourists probably never getting more to see than the usual tourist spots. Those are beautiful, but "off the beaten path" is the way to go. I would give anything to get back there again, but I doubt if that will happen. We are currently making our own adventures here in America, traveling Route 66, and most of the national parks in the west. Keep safe, Derek, and enjoy your journey!

Your doing amazing trip of a life time for sure great videos and what an adventure your on keep up the good work thanks for sharing your journey with us all

Hi Derek. It's great to see you on your journey . You give me a good idea of what it's really like. Thanks, Derek, from counties in Ireland to states of America .

Nice video. I live in NJ and have been hiking and camping up there over 40 years. You showed many of my favorite spots! I hope you stopped at the bakery!!

I really enjoyed this, well done young man. Keep up the great work

Love this video❤ You are so inspirational😊 your videos reach out and touch so many people and inspires us to do better And to get out of our comfort zones 💪

Beautiful scenery

Derek - You are a true philosopher and gentleman. Keep up your spirits and energy - best wishes to you to make it to Katahdin.

You do an excellent job of sharing the story of your journey. Thank you.

Thank you Derek Another brilliant video May God continue protecting you ❤❤

You had some beautiful views. Safe travels.

When you were describing the Storm , I was thinking of the words that John O'Donohue wrote. You saw a bear....yayyy. Great video Derek, it draws me in and holds my attention from start to finish. Love what that guy said to you about his 89 year old Dad. Thank you and stay bold. "This is the time to be slow, Lie low to the wall Until the bitter weather passes. Try, as best you can, not to let The wire brush of doubt Scrape from your heart All sense of yourself And your hesitant light. If you remain generous, Time will come good; And you will find your feet Again on fresh pastures of promise, Where the air will be kind And blushed with beginning."

Left us on a cliff hanger!! 🤣

I just love the way you write and deliver the message. Every one a beautiful, spiritual gem. I’m 71 and just getting wise! You’ve surpassed my level of wisdom having condensed all those years into one AT 😂. Seriously, it’s marvellous to follow your journey ❤. Bless you.

Thank you. Safe travels.

Thanks Derek for sharing your walk about. I cant walk as well as you but I'm enjoying your time in the woods. To God be the glory. Steffon in western NC.

Derrick, I have followed your journey from the start. When you first start watching someone's AT adventure, you never know if you'll enjoy the videos or personality of whom you're watching. You are an inspiration to say the least. Your positivity, your perspective on life, your mentality has made me excited for the next episode. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Tha k you for all of your wisdom. Thank you!
