This is awesome!
This person did not pay for 14 children to go into therapy.
Life lessons and a bonding that everyone of them will never forget! That was awesome.
Nobody should have that many kids. Ugh
I've watched many adults hike this trail and it's grueling and dangerous in many parts of the trail, so while I commend her for saving her family this is a dangerous undertaking with small kids.
Nothing says love like forcing your pre- and grade-schoolers on a forced hike for hundreds of miles.
Respect for you and your family! ❤
What an amazing gift to their children. Core memories galore.
Foolish
So awesome
Wow, I am inspired
This is beautiful 🥲
Did they finish????
So shes dragging her kids because of her own struggles…they are gonna make a great bear buffet
Amazing how much mental health improves when you put the technology down
Good idea, no time for fu……
I’m frightened but impressed.
Also this man SERIOUSLY left a wife and 15 kids?! Goes to show how much stronger women really are 😢❤
Back to the basic.. take away the distractions ❤
How the f*** do you even wind up with 16 kids
Right on
And in the winter in the mountains 1 to 5 of them will probably die.. bitter truth.
nothing ordinary about having 15 children. Let's go on a hike…maybe we'll lose a few along the way
Did they make it all the way to Maine?
Beautiful and what a memory!
Wise folks ❤. This is totally amazing . God bless
Good Mom.
I'm not impressed unless that mother and father are paying for their OWN kids and have jobs. Anyone can be irresponsible and have that many kids with government handouts, but people don't because they can't afford it and it's ridiculous! How much do you love yourself that you think it's appropriate to literally populate your entire town yourself
What's a bet tax payers are mostly paying for her kids. Or you tell me, how does she survive without government handouts? And if you don't know, you're assuming just like me so shove your personal offenses to the side and admit your on government handouts for your kids too
Sounds like a terrible trip for every other hiker on the trail.
Has 15 kids.
Can't understand why marriage fell apart.
Hopes to find a house in the woods made out of candy….
Somebody report this hippie to CPS.
Maybe stop having kids.
This is fabulous! Creating memories, bringing the family back together, depending on themselves & each other 🙌🏼 Absolutely wonderful! Getting in nature in good for the soul.
When do the children see their Dad? By the time you get 2 states away from your home state, Dad’s weekend visits must become a challenge….
Kids had a blast
Thats alot of sex 😂😂😂
How do you get to birth 15 kids in this rough economy of life? Damn!
' this was the last footage seen of this family "
Love this!❤
Yeah.. Someone call CPS 🚮 Just because your shitty marriage fell apart doesn’t mean you gotta drag your kids down with it? Those kids don’t understand how grueling 2k miles is.. I guarantee she didn’t pack an emergency GPS system and even if she did there’d be NO way for emergency transport to get to them incase of something going to shit.. Snakes, cougars, wild animals, mosquitoes carrying God knows what, uneven terrain.. So many things can happen and 7 days of food is all you have just in case? GOOD’t BYE
Maby your marriage fell apart because you had 15 kids.Geeze.
❤she is fixxing it . Her way . These children will triumph. Go maama
Great job Momma!
This is an incredible challenge for a solo hiker. Doing this with 15 kids is a remarkable feat. The amount of planning this would take is a feat in itself.
