Out of the many YouTubers I've been following, only 3 have made it. The rest have just vanished off the small screen and into oblivion.
Happy Hikers seem to have dropped off the net. Anybody have any info?

She's been having issues with her feet for some time. (prevention is better than cure) Her last post was 3 weeks ago. Occasionally she vanishes for medication and R&R before bouncing back with more optimism than before. She recently acquired a new sun hat which gives insight into her intentions so I expect to see her popping up again.
Other YouTubers with more personality than character have been passing out explanations as to why they need to quit. At the moment I don't see many going the full distance apart from Sarah Williams, ChrisGoesOutdoors, and maybe Crazy Tree. Also hoping DANN Hailey makes it as he cracks me up with his unique perspective on things.
I learned more from this one video then I have 99% of all the other thru hiker vlogs I have watched.
