Video Transcription

hey guys it's Darwin here today to wish the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail a happy fiftieth anniversary Wow 50 years of the National scenic trails

you know without trails like the Appalachian Trail I wouldn't be the person that I am today the 80 changed me it renamed me and it opened my eyes to the natural beauties that can be found on our national scenic trails recently the PCT completely challenged me in ways that I've never been challenged before and both trails have given me a ton of memories and experiences that I'll never forget

without the National scenic trails you and I wouldn't be able to access our natural world as easily and we wouldn't get to meet each other and have those experiences together some of the greatest relationships I've ever had with anyone else I found on the 80 and on the PCT not only have the National scenic trails completely changed my life but it is amazing to think about how many lives has changed over the last 50 years

so again happy fiftieth anniversary to the 80 and the PCT and thank you for everything that you've given us hike on [Music]

At the end of 2014 my wife Snuggles & I decided to quit our jobs, sell 95% of the things we own, & leave our home town for good in search of adventure, culture, & the true meaning of happiness. We bought a van, traveled all over the country & hiked the entire Appalachian Trail (2189.2 miles). We are still seeking adventure in new places, meeting new people, trying new food & drink, & discovering all that we can.

This Channel has developed into a main hub for aspiring hikers & current hikers to gain info on a wide variety of Trail Topics. With a series of Trip Videos, Q&A, Tip Videos, & Gear Reviews, I aim to get you out on the trail and hiking more!

Hike On,
Darwin
