I look forward to following the progress of thru hikers each year. Feel free to add a link to your channel or the channels you are following here so that we can all share in the journey. I will occasionally post the updated consolidated list.

"If a man speaks in the woods, and there is no woman there to hear, is he still wrong?"
I have been following 2 and am up to date on both. Both have been good ones to follow.
Reddmage - slow and steady. Great attitude and having fun. Great perspective for someone new to the long distance hiking world. lots of trail walking footage with commentary.
Early Riser 72 - That dude is squared away. Former military. High Speed. Solo. Good tips, tricks and advice. Amazing! (those that have watched his channel will get that)
Wild Wild Walkz Inc. is another good youtube channel im kinda following. Started in mid Jan so you get to see what it's like starting early.
Kiwi Wandering USA is a good one. He gives lots of trail reports, reports on shelters and water sources. Very informative if you are planning on hitting the AT anytime soon.
I think this guy is funny! Warning: he uses some salty language at times. I like how honest he is about everything and you can see him progressively learning as the videos go along. I'm still not caught up yet but watching them in order when I get the chance.
Any others you've come across yet? I've found a couple channels of folks who haven't started yet but that's about it.
Section hiker on the 20 year plan - 2,078 miles and counting!
I just started my videos, only two so far, I haven't left yet but I will be in the next day or so. I've been checking out other peoples videos and it's getting me even more excited to get after it. Good luck to everyone!

Here's a link to mine when I attempted my 1st thru (and a few sections included with my brother). I might be using this page for this years upcoming thru, even though it's extrememly slow to upload to. There's a discussion tab on there where I posted my daily thoughts.

Before going off trail MTMike posted a video that I found very informative in getting to the trail
I've added a whole bunch from the list II DOGS provided. Some had very little to no content so I didn't add them here.

This list is 2 weeks old - Maybe 50 more have been added - hiker bubble - Near impossible to follow all. I'll stick with Early_Riser_71, and Kiwi Wandering USA - Reddmage is hard to follow - too much slow talk.
