HOW MUCH WE SPENT ON THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL

$25,000 for an unforgettable long experience with a large family... after watching the 1 hour documentary, definitely worth it.

Filia can now say that she’s the youngest female to finish the Appalachian trail :,) what an honour

Well dang! $25,040.00 divided by eight people comes out to $3,130.00 per person. That's not so bad, actually.

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing the info. I’m 40 yrs old and have been a bricklayer since I’m 17. I decided 2 yrs ago I was going to bust my a*** doing extra jobs for this journey! I leave March 14 2019! The excitement for this journey was worth every hr spent working. Thanks again Crawford’s! Love you guys!

Hey honey because hiking the freaking Appalachian trail with 6 children including a toddler sounds a little easy let's throw a marathon in....

I wouldn't mind watching an ad to help a great family!

So happy Altra came through for everyone and donated shoes.

I think that you spent your time far better than most Americans. When you left the trail, you knew your kids far better than the average person could say that they knew their kids after 6 months and that's worth more than anything. I would say you were extremely blessed. In my opinion... had you spent $1000 a day at Disney or some other vacation for 6 months you wouldn't have gotten near the value in the long run. Going to miss these trail updates. Have you thought about the PCT? LOL

If your kids can walk 2200 miles from Ga to Ma they can do anything in life. There is nonthing that can hold them back. Your kids will be stronger mentally and physically than other kids who just sit in their bedrooms on their phones. There is nonthing stopping them from achieving their dreams. I think you did an awesome job raising them and teaching them life skills.

What you accomplished as a family is priceless. Thank you for sharing your story🌻🌻

This breakdown was really simple and easy to follow thank you for that! We have been planning our hike for two years now. We wanted to work on being debt free, and also have the best and lightest equipment which is always expensive. As of yesterday we are 100% with our gear and now we have just over a year to save our trail money. We are only two people so you guys doing it with 8 is just amazing. I hope you guys keep going on adventures and allow us all to come along via video of course lol.

I appreciate your stance on not putting ads on your videos. Not because I mind sitting through ads, but because I like knowing what I'm watching is a wholly authentic creation. Thank you for that.

I like this. Thanks for combing back through those bills & sharing so openly.

WOW❗️. That’s awesome savings! Gotta love the trail angels 😊. Totally worth the money spent. I enjoyed your adventure too and all I did was sit at home and watch you tube 😂. The whole trip was PRICELESS 👏🏻👍🏻❤️

Thanks for this, and all your videos! After stumbling across one of your videos some time ago, my wife and I decided we’re going to take our two young children backpacking for the first time also! It’s no AT, but a 1,200 mile trek should be interesting nonetheless. Keep up the good work, and keep fighting for your togetherness!!!

I really appreciate that you share financial vlogs with us. I don’t understand why it is such a taboo subject. If people had lines of communication about money, there may be a lot less debt and worry in the world. Money shouldn’t control us but often we don’t know how to make that happen. Now onto this vlog specifically. I believe you received so much more than you spent from your journey. What your family experienced is priceless. You all have been changed in many different ways. I’m moved to tears at the growth I was able to observe, let alone the effects this trip will have on everyone’s futures. (I’m sure there’s a ton that we don’t know because it’s so personal and ongoing.) You did a great job sharing what you spent and received, so that someone considering this journey would have an idea on how to plan for it. I believe I would be amazed and inspired by a book that shared things like your all’s journaling, trail magic, people you met, what got you through the lows, and how you each feel you’ve grown through your journey. Oh, and what does life look like now? I’m not sure how you could share all of that in vlogs. I believe people would purchase your book. It would be more than a good read. It could bring about change for individuals and families. Okay, I’m done rambling. One question. Is it wrong to stalk YouTube for new vlogs from you? If it is, I need help!😂

I am 24 years old and have been saving for this thru hike for the past year now. I’ve been keeping up with you guys and you’ve kept me inspired and informed throughout your entire journey

Your children are so fortunate. Bless your hearts for giving them such wonderful gift. ❤️

I was glued to your YT video. What a incredible journey. Your family is amazing and really inspired me.

This was a great video guys! Thanks for being so open regarding the finances for the trail. I found it very interesting!
