Fueling The Faith: Detroit Jerky Powers Lisa Seeley's Appalachian Trail Thru Hike!
We love to hike. We actually took a cross country roadie a couple years ago as a family, hitting 9 National Parks in two weeks and we did some amazing hikes. If you hike you know that snacks with some protein and some sodium are recommended for the trails which makes Detroit Jerky perfect for your backpack, and when Lisa Seeley reached out to us to tell us about her upcoming Thru Hike of the Appalachian Trail we wanted to be a part of it.
Detroit Jerky Powers Lisa Seeley’s Appalachian Trail Thru Hike!
For those who don’t know, a Thru Hike is a hike of the entire trail - 2190 miles!!!! Lisa started in Georgia (where she currently is as of this writing) and plans to end in Maine in 5 months or so. It’s a massive undertaking and something that for a time she never would have imagined she could do. She didn’t grow up as an outdoors person. She raised her kids and being their mom was her identity for a long time. After a divorce and when the pandemic hit she and her kids decided to spend some time outdoors and she got the bug when they saw the Appalachian Trail sign. She wasn’t sure she had it in her physically nor did her teaching job in Georgia permit her to take 5+ months off. But something was awakened in her and she decided she was going to make some changes in her life.
So she did.
She got healthier. She made a bucket list. She started hiking. She quit her job, sold her house and moved up here to Michigan (God put it on her heart to do it as she puts it) to spend time with her grandma who was 93. When her grandma passed away after 9 precious months that Lisa got to spend with her she realized she needed to figure out what was next. That’s when it dawned on her that she could do her Thru Hike.
You can watch her tell this story at her YouTube channel Hike By Faith, and you will become a fan - you will adore her.
We have started following her adventures day by day with her check-ins on her channel and on Day 2 she cracked open some Michigan Cherry Bomb Detroit Jerky at lunch and gave us this fantastic shoutout you can see below! You’ll feel like you’re hiking the trail yourself as you see some amazing scenery, meet some lovely people (some characters lol) and you’ll learn a lot. We’re in for the ride and we are cheering for her! You will too.
Please subscribe to her channel - you will be so happy you did.
