I watched every Appalachian Trail preparation video and read every blog article I could find, but there were still things that surprised me about the experience! Here are 14 lessons I learned that differ from what I was told. If you’re pretty well-versed and want to know more, this is the video for you!
What is Beer in Beautiful Places?
Hi, I’m Maddie! Celebrating an outdoor adventure with a beer has been a long-time tradition for me, and I wanted to create a platform for like-minded folks to come together. In my videos, I cover all types of adventures and review beer! Topics include day hiking, kayaking, travel, thru-hiking, and life on the road. In short, if you would describe yourself as an outdoorist, outdoorsman, outdoorswoman, hiker trash, nomad, or dirtbag, come on along, this is the channel for you! Welcome and cheers!
