I'll admit it, I enjoy watching video journals of people doing a thru hike. I probably will never do a thru hike of the AT, at least in this decade, so its neat to be able to see what its like. Also its the ultimate reality show, who is going to make it , how isn't, etc.
That said I'm noticing an exponential jump in thru hikers doing videos, and some seem to be getting annoying, like filming everyone at a shelter and doing interviews on the fly when some obviously look uncomfortable or don't feel like talking.
Do you think the trail getting annoying with people talking to their extended hiking poles and playing 60 minutes at the shelters?
