Youtube video links wanted - appropriate to show to kids!

[shelb]

I am a high school teacher and section hiker. My students often ask about the A.T., and I would love to use videos more to educate them - mainly by playing portions of videos during passing time. Students often show up early to chat and socialize.

My main dilemma is that many of the videos I have found show people partying... which I can't show my kids unless I am prepared to lose my job! (lol)

Can anyone recommend some videos that contain school appropriate content? I have found the one about the father, son, and daughter who hiked over a period of several years, titled Growing Up on the Appalachian Trail 2007-2015

Any other ideas would be totally appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

He was my first thought as well. In addition, he is someone who has really come to respect and love the trail as well as come to terms with various things about himself. I feel he would be the best fit for your students.

Other hikers who I follow that are clean: Steve Welker and Alpenglow

I agree with those above. Below are a few more that I have followed this year where I've no party behavior and I can't recall any foul language content in any of these.
Mitch Lennington and Jacob Downing - two 18yr old guys hiking together but doing their own vlogs
Robbie Watts - another young guy
Smilin Don's AT Thru-Hike - he is an older fellow from Texas
Harpers Tarry -a young married couple
Hike & Tell - another young married couple
I also like Highlander 58 - he is as the name implies a guy in his upper 50s.

They might get a kick outta the lip synqued Bonjovi video "half way there" some time around mid terms.

I am guessing you mean this one: Amplexus Halfway Video

I plan to show it to my students Monday/Tuesday during passing time! We are just over half-way through the Trimester, so I can use it as a way to help them push through! (Difficult this time of year!!!).

EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS POSTED: Thank you! You have provided me with a great deal of resources to use! You are awesome!!!! If anyone has come across any "entertaining" but school appropriate LNT videos, let me know. I manage to work that idea in as much as I can...
