Hi! My name is Visionary. I am a seasoned outdoor adventure seeker and amateur film maker. I am on a mission to accomplish something few people before me have done. After completing the Appalachian Trail in 2016, I started dreaming about Thru-Hiking all 11 of the National Scenic Trails in the United States. 17,830 miles of hiking is what my ambitious journey consists of. I am excited to set such a high goal for myself and dedicate my life to having a more meaningful purpose. Sharing videos of some of the most scenic areas of this country has been both very fun for me and also time consuming. Thank you so much for the support and happy trails!

Huron Peak Winter Summit (14er)
It’s been a long time since our last upload and I know this isn’t nearly as cool as our PCT videos but here is some footage of our Huron Peak summit over thanksgiving weekend. Extremely low snow pack right now so we decided to get out there and send it! Happy trails!!!

Stevens Pass-Canada Mile 2465-2653.6 The last stretch! Wow has the time flown by. Our last week in Washington has gone by too fast and yet very slow at the same time. Can’t believe this is the end. The trail has been so good to us and we have loved every minute of it. I would hike it again in a heart beat if given the opportunity and can’t wait to see what other adventures await for us next! Ha...

The trail keeps evolving and the views never ending, except for when the rain showers start and the clouds engulf the trail. That is something we have been starting to get used to here in the damp Pacific Northwest. We can’t wait to touch that border! If you would like to contribute to our journey, you ...

Goat Rocks Wilderness-Mt Rainer NP Mile 2255-2353 As luck would have it, our adventure up to the famous knifes edge in the goat rocks wilderness was encased by thick wet cloud cover and no views of anything more than 20 feet in front of us. It was still a great time up on the ridge and a unique experience none the less. The clouds and rain cleared out the next morning revealing the most beautif...

Ashland-Crater Lake Mile 1717.7-1848 The first handful of days in Oregon has been an absolute blast. The dense, impossibly green trees have been a welcomed sight over the hot and sunny exposed trail we had gotten accustomed to. Southern Oregon, often referred to as the Oregon desert, truly does live up to the name. The trail has been the driest we have seen since the Mojave desert in Southern C...

Beautiful place here, great hiking
It’s interesting to see your highs and lows. Hard to keep the same energy everyday I imagine but your keeping a good frame of mind. Really good stuff. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for this. I like how you showed the experience in more detail. I’m starting March 18, 2023 and this was very helpful. Cheers!
What date did you start on the PCT adventure?
April 2nd
I live near big bear and love that restaurant
appreciate your video. Watched the whole thing and enjoyed it. What ever happened to your buddy did he ever get back on trail and finish?
heyyyy love the videos! just curious how often to park ragers ask for to see your long distance permit o the PCT?
I guess your wife feels pretty alone in these videos...
Sounds like plantar fasciatis ?
Which app do you use to edit your footage?
Stunning scenery 🤩
Been really enjoying your videos. PCT is on my bucket list. Didn't realize there were so many long water carries in the desert section.
Good 9:48 episode too.
Late to the party. Hey. I’ve thought this a few times but let’s put it in writing. Yes, yes. You and your videos are wonderful and no one makes it to video 14 without clearly loving your video style, but can I also say THANK YOU the nice music choices?
Awesome series... I am binge-watching it now! Thanks!
Please keep sharing with us. The views are amazing, and y’all are so cute🤗
The END is always bitter/sweet. That's why the "older guys" tell you (the younger crowd) to slow down and stop the "big miles". It's NOT a race, but an experience that sucks and amazes along the way. Happy trails.
@5:30 they is all HUCKELBERRY, not blueberry. The whole state is full of those.
I remember a few years ago my friends and I stayed over night on a trail in northern Utah. It was late June so we figured it wouldn't get *too* cold. We had 30* bags and layers. When we started it was like 95* so we were sure we'd be okay. Turns out there was more elevation gain than we thought and that night got down into the teens, too. After a couple hours we had all 3 of us in one of the 2 person tents underneath all 3 sleeping bags and a reflective emergency blanket. Slept pretty great after that but boy, those first few hours were cold!
Rite on guys gotta say it was a great day of binge watching excellent vibes huge thumbs up on all of it.
I live in Seattle suburb where I see Mt Rainer everyday that she is out. I am awed by it every day!,,,
Great videos! Wonderful job of journaling your trip. I really appreciate your music not destroying the enjoyment of the peace and calm of the scenery. It is well suited and matches the volume of your voice! It is majorly annoying to need to turn the volume down EVERY time the music comes on for most hiking videos.
hi, i know this is an older video, but i'm really enjoying your journey. i'm contemplating a PCT NOBO thru-hike in the next year or two. so i'm really learning a lot from your videos. i do have a question, though. are you guys treating the water before you drink it? like a lifestraw or something? and how do you guys handle personal hygiene, like showering? do you have to like wait until you get into a town or use wipes? sorry if that's a personal question, but it's something i've always wondered and no one ever covers lol thanks!
Water treatment yes! We carried and used sawyer squeeze filters. Using just filters will run the risk of still catching a virus from a water source (a common one being norovirus) since viruses are small enough to make it through the filter, however we didn’t have any major issues with viruses on the trail and we carried chemical water tablets just in case we came across a particularly nasty water source. Personally hygiene was mostly just accept the filth and shower in the next town whenever we had the chance. Sometimes it would be 3 or 4 days between showers and more commonly like 7-10 days between showers. Sometimes we would take a “wet wipe” bath and just wipe down every square inch to try and atleast feel cleaner. Later in the summer we took advantage of swimming in lakes to help rise off the dirt and that always felt great. Overall we learned to embrace our inner hiker trash and just accepted the lack of showers most days. Hope this helps! Happy trails!
@@walkingwithpurpose4149 thanks for the thoughtful reply. you answered two of my most pressing questions. i appreciate it!
I miss your videos
Congratulations
Watched the whole journey, absolutely loved it. I really enjoyed your camerawork, it was slow and steady and with time to breathe in the scenery. Seriously well done, incredibly relaxing. And I really liked how you showed both walking and camplife, and that your talking was mostly just about the trail, and your needs and experiences along the way. I hope you guys go on another journey and decide to Vlog it too!
Haha shaggy and preach are on another UA-cam channel too I just watched about the pct
Right on! We hiked with shaggy and preach for a little while. What’s their channel name?
As a fellow hiker who thru hiked last year I have to say your videos are some of the best. Now as to this video, forget the river and the beautiful mountains and the trees because nothing compares to the unmatched beauty of that pan full of ribs! What a score brother! And I know exactly how you were feeling looking at that pan of ribs. It really is hard to describe how amazing that makes one feel after days of hiking...and tuna
Another viewer happy to see your adventures....have fun😊💕
In 2018, right at that spot. I tracked footprints of a jaguar along the Mexican fence. One hundred and fifty feet to the South, one hundred feet to the North. Great way to begin the five hundred mile adventure. Kudos.
Incredible view!
glad to see you guys posting again!! hopefully there will be more!😀
Great to see you back!!! Looking forward to lots of more adventures. ❤
I agree, it is great to see the two of you again. Looking forward to your next adventure! Blessings!
Great to see you guys again! Please keep making hiking videos.
So Cool to see you two back at it !!! Looking forward to hopefully more? Enjoy...
Congrats on the summit! But it’s not winter 🤣
Winter here in my opinion starts when the ski lifts start turning. 17 degrees when we started the hike. None the less felt like winter.
Looks like a blast!
Good to see you! How fun.
Awesome to see you guys!
It's great to see you guys posting again. We've missed you since the PCT!
Why so far west of PCT Walker Pass in Kernville?
PS like 300 people per year drown in Kern River, just sayin"
I spent 5.3 years near Kernville Pretty dry country We had no trail angels back then You're very fortunate, Yogi 🐻
Ever read Wild, by Cheryl Strayed?
600 miles divided by 42 days looks more like 14.3 miles per day
Yup Hunger IS the best sauce! $2........that's free baby! No wonder it tastes so good!
Yup, confirming the age old adage...hunger is the best sauce😆
