UNPLUGGED | A Pacific Crest Trail Documentary (PCT 2023)
Take a journey with me as I walk the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada in 2023 (PCT 2023). Covering California, Oregon, and Washington, the 2650-mile hike brings challenges like snowstorms, solo moments, and sickness. From the simplicity of Oregon to the vibrant end in Washington, Stick and Stones share the beauty of the trail, not just reaching the Northern Terminus but forming priceless connections with other hikers. This isn't just a hike; it's about self-discovery, friendship, and the enduring power of nature. Join me in reliving moments that made the Pacific Crest Trail a special and life-changing adventure.

    Dog foot at 24:41 is Erick Andino, he is hiking the CDT this year. His UA-cam channel is Dogfoot trailing. I section hiked to san Jacinto in 2023, I recognise some of the people, I saw Susan and I spotted Silver as well, unfortunately he passed away this year on the CDT 😢 Looks like you had the adventure of a lifetime, the pct is amazing

      @@Mark_Jacobson81 no way wow.. me and silver were really thankful for those buds.. it was very hard to find some greens on the desert section. Those buds lasted me till Oregon haha. I heard silver passed away and was very shocked, he was just inviting me to do cdt with him and I decided to do the gdt this year. I had a great time with silver and Susan for a few days... I wish I can emphasize and express what I experienced on the PCT! , it was the best!!

    I love how you showed the difficulty of Mount Whitney and some of those high passes. Usually in these PCT videos they say they’re going to climb Mount Whitney and the next shot they’re at the top so we never get to see the struggle.

    Incredibly video Frankie! Gave me goosebumps and captures the emotions so well of what the trail was like for you and so many others. Was also great to see so many familiar faces of amazing and wonderful people, that I was fortunate enough to meet last year. I hope you and all of the 2023 class are doing well and planning your next adventures.

    I have so much damn respect for all of you who went through the Sierra during that historic event. I was just one year ahead of you and found myself losing my shit by the time I reached Truckee during what was supposed to be a "low" snow year...HEISENBERG.

    Great doc! You are an amazing storyteller and filmmaker. My bf and I ❤ the fact that you took 6 full months to complete the trail and you left late March in one of the highest snowpack years!!! Truly inspirational. I was out there last year hiking and decided to go back this year, so I know how hard it was. Never stop exploring, creating, and inspiring us.
