What camera are you using for this? The same you used for the PCT?

Good to see your videos! As I recall your PCT trail name was Kodak, right? Are you still using that trail name?

I miss it so much. I still find it hard to watch stuff from trail.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I started watching your journey due to a mutual friend we have (Mollie). And I really feel this. When I hiked in 2019, it was a constant battle of pain management beyond anything I could have imagined. Towards the end (7 months total) I was so done with hiking and told myself I never wanted to backpack again. It was beautiful and absolutely the best time of my life, but the pain you experience everyday is so blinding and makes it difficult to really appreciate the experience in the moment to its fullest. I remember being so jealous of those other hikers that just seemed to be able to pull 25-30's with what seemed like little to no issue. Now that I'm far enough removed from my hike, I tend to look back on it as all rainbows and sunshine, but I know that's my brain downplaying the struggle. However, I would absolutely do another thru-hike at this point - there's just nothing else like it and it's truly fulfilling. I hope you get the chance to return sooner rather than later!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I've loved following along, and marveling at the beautiful scenery and the joy and humanity you shared on the trail. Looking forward to more from you if you ever feel inclined to share another journey with us. Thank you, and good luck.

You are awesome. I've loved following your journey

So happy to see this video! I followed your videos since before you started, with the gear videos, and enjoyed them all. And yes, yes, come back and do some of the PCT you didn’t get to last year!! Looking forward to it! Thanks SO much for your stories!

Omg! My performance on trail if I ate like you, would have severely suffered! And my muscle mass would have disappeared! You must of felt like crap and exhausted every day!? Or you have no idea how much better your performance could have been if you actually ate nutrient dense foods!

I noticed you are carrying a camera and your phone. Did you use your camera much during the trip?

Typical trail food, I’ve stocked up on some of the better oatmeal’s and clif bars and protein bars that I can buy much cheaper in bulk at Costco and those will be distributed through certain points where good grocery access is an issue.

With all the food you ate on the trail, did you find that your weight dropped, stayed constant or increased at the end of your hike?

You should get tested for all the deseases maltodextrin can give you since you ate maltodextrin for most the year.

Want to go nerdy? Knorr is a German company from Bielefeld (belongs to Unilever). If you want to brag with your language skills, simply pronounce the "K" before "norr". Voila. Although I hiked more than 6000 miles in 2022 I didn't eat one single Poptart, Ramen or Knorr. Some Europeans claim that Hershey's has some acid in it and apparently that makes it taste like vomit. I say BS, it's a question of hunger. I spent a lot of money in the US but there was no way I could afford Lindt chocolate or the stupid freeze dried meals. It is possible now to do the entire PCT without sending boxes - although in 2022, fresh out of the pandemic, a lot of stores looked like stores in East Germany in the cold war as they could not figure out how to resupply the stores.

There is no failure in this, you pushed yourself until you couldn’t anymore. There is far more pride in that than just saying “I don’t like the weather or I don’t like the trail”. You accomplished so much more than 99% of other people out there, especially under such physical adversity. Stay strong!

omg, this video is amazing, like everybody is like "my hyperlite backpack has some holes on the mesh pocket" and pretend like they are distressed perfectly, but you had to #myog your shoulder straps with duct tape. I applaud you for that, what an improvise-ation. Thanks for sharing! xx

You can actually remove the valve from your mat. They sell replacement valves you can slam on in case the valve itself breaks. For the sake of sustainability maybe wash it, dry it and so on.

This is so fucking cool

Your vlogs are great! Thank you

Proud of you Kodak ❤️ Ps. Piute pass was my favorite of all of them. Very gentle grade and surprisingly gorgeous!

Where did you camp at CL?

My wife and I watch several blogs each year. We shared your happiness when you got your permit and we were sad when your videos stopped halfway through. So happy to hear you continued hiking and thank you for being so open and honest about your trip and your feelings. Years ago I learned to cherish the journey when I had been overly focused on the achievement which you seemed to have learned. As my daughter would say you earned some flex and you need to be proud. Happy trails.

Thank you for taking us along for the journey, buddy! proud of you for making the decision to prioritize your mental and physical wellness 🤍 excited to see if/when you go back to finish (or whatever other fun new adventures you choose)

FWIW, section hiking is vastly underrated.

That took awhile

Hikertown. A legendary place. Maybe they improved since 2022 but back then they just had a garden hose as a shower and guys were encouraged to do number 1 outside of the bathroom. There was a medical emergency, basically they brought somebody to hospital who didn't want to go but in the morning admitted that they could no longer get up. Out of fear from the heat, people started to walk the aqueduct at 2 in the morning. Everybody felt nervous but there was no reason to be. Maybe it was the wind.

Great story Rose! I can't even imagine the endurance of doing what you did...hearing your story is amazing. I am definitely just a day hiker with my wife! Welcome home! :)

You did amazing. I enjoyed your videos. I myself have every excuse not to even attempt the hike. You completed a large chunk of the trail with foot issues.

I experienced women being way braver compared to men in such situations. Rest assured: You did 1000+ miles more than the majority would have done. It is not uncommon to be home within three days after plantar or shin splints kicks in. What I can recommend: Instead of just filling in the blanks, do the entire trail again as soon as you can afford it. Now you know what it is all about, you will feel like an expert from the start in Campo. You will be able to enjoy the entire trail and having a real good time. Hiking again through the same forests you have already seen once last year or the year before is fascinating.

You did 1800 miles, hurt? You are a thru hiker, period, end of discussion. Well done!

You’re the best! -don from Lorain Ohio USA 🇺🇸

Kodak, I think there are many viewers who are happy to see today's video and know that you are recovering and doing well. I had been following many hikers' vlogs including yours. When your videos stopped coming, I remember hoping at that time that all was well, so today am glad to hear your report. I trust that your physical and mental recovery will be complete and as smooth as possible. It may be hard to believe sometimes, but one thing is definitely true: The universe is always right on time. So are you. I'd like to ask: Have you ever heard of the hiker called Marmalade? Your story and his story while quite different also share some similarities. You may not have finished a one-year "thru-hike," but you still can be a "completionist." The time frame is irrelevant. I have enjoyed your videos immensely and learned a lot from what you have shared. I look forward to more from you when the time is right. Thank you for letting us tag along.

I’d never roast you! Awesome to see this journey you’re on. Never knew the PCT went by where Kirk fought the Gorn. #llap

Girl, you rock. Just make sure you're taking care of yourself. Keep trekking. 😀

Stay safe; keep at it!

Way to go Rose, fun to follow along in your adventures!

You're doing great! Love following along. How are your Lone Peak 6 holding out? I wear 4.5 and worry about durability of the 6's.

Didn't John Muir say the wooden bridges are calling and I must go ... or something like that ... ??? Be safe; keep at it!

Looks like a good time Thanks for sharing

The universe is always right on time; so are you. Maybe two "wrong" turns in 48 hours is just a subconscious desire not to leave the Big Bear area ... ??? 🤔 Wherever your trail is leading you -- Be safe; keep at it!

Way to go Rose! You are doing great....really fun hearing you tell of your experience and showing the trail along the way. Hope you got your Burger! Keep it up :)

Gorgeous looking trail my friend. 👌👌

You’re going to love section K in Washington. Endless blowdowns

Glad you were safe. Be careful. Keep trekking. 😀

ROD-what happened? Where’d you go??? I’m missing new episodes? 🥺

I think you have what it takes to face the challenges of the PCT. Happy trails

What a great day and way to go churning out those miles and staying positive, thank you for sharing!

Love your trail name!!!
