Problem with my area is its full of snakes and spiders that could easily kill my dog

Should check into the IKEJIMI method of dispatching fish. Syppose to improve flesh quality.

Beautiful. The workd "alcohol" can be replaced by anything that traps you and keeps you from having your desired joyous life. As, I listened to your video a second time, I put the word of the thing that was trapping me. How wonderfully inspired it made me. Thank you.

that's beautiful Ray and so unbelievably true. thank you for sharing. Dwayne

A recent plan to do the Mineral King in Sequoia went south due to smoke from (not so) nearby fires (“coffee pot fire”). My son (33) and I (68) had it planned in detail and when we arrived we were informed by the ranger we were not in danger of fire at all, so we decided to try it anyway to check out the air conditions. After the initial 1800 ft ascent in 2 miles, it only worsened (smoke rises), so we decided to return, did not want to spend the night at Timber Gap Camp inhaling smoke; after all we wanted some fresh mountain air. It was a wise decision, in the 2 following days the air quality index climbed from 125 to 320 (hazardous). Learning point: have a plan B for your adventure, a different backpacking trail within reasonable safe distance to avoid frustration. We will be back.

Your video diary made me smile!

Oh PCT in 2022 ! How old were you then and did you finish the whole trail ?

Wow. What an amazing journey! Watched the whole video in one sitting. Fantastic job, you both should be proud!

Cutting the distance as we get older is key. Less pack weight also helps.

I was warned about wearing high top boots as they provide too much rigidity on the ankles. This forces the knee to perform the flexing that the ankle is supposed to do and is adapted for. So in short, your knees endure more stress when your ankles don’t.

Thank you for this video . Just got the Katadyn filter as a gift . I’ve always used sawyer . Katadyn is great, any ideas on how to get plastic taste to go away ?

Oh my gosh! I laughed all the way through this! Spot on Ray! I just finished a 3 day PCT section hike in WA with three 20 something friends. It amazes me they like to backpack with almost 66 year old me! They were jumping up rocks as I hobbled my way up with trekking poles as my needed second set of legs, not to mention the downhill. How do they run with all that forward momentum and not trip and roll off the side of the mountain?! HA! I had a couple trips over rocks and roots! Stopping to admire the flowers and take photos of the scenery was my best excuse, and I used it often! It is a real head game for sure and reflecting back, comparison kills the journey! I almost talked myself out of my upcoming trip with the same group with crazy self-talk that I'm just getting too old and slow for this! NONSENSE! Granted, I am getting older and slower, but not for quitting! I must say that if younger hikers want to hike with us, then by all means, count it as an admirable pat on the back. They obviously see something in us that encourages them. Just think, they'll be old hikers like us one day! Thanks for the laughs today!

Love this! Let them go ahead and clear out the spider webs in the morning. Always a plus.

I have the Topo Pursuit 2s, and while they are like walking on clouds, I also have the Merrell Moab3s and my feet feel super secure and supported. I think the Merrells are great for more rocky terrain, where a turned ankle could happen easily. They are just....SOLID. Heavier, yes, but who needs a strained ankle on the trail?

When you did the pct what was start date and how long did it take you to finish ? I’m going to be 62 in 2025 and I’m hoping to hike the pct .

I completely agree about hiking boots versus trail runners. I have never regretted the ankle support, ever. But I was very disappointed with the flexes zero pump. I have a big fat pad for car camping, even though it’s a single person, I’ve never gotten to full inflations from the pump.

LOL!!! Your real trick is Old School, just like mine - “Don’t like the old man in”. ❤

You Sir, are a GENIOUS! Thanks for the tips.

This is SO funny!

A Loser video. Hike solo or hike with folks in your age group. A senior citizen who has forgotten his youth. Young folks don't particularly socialize with senior citizens, if ones remember that they did not socialize with senior citizens when they where young.

LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!😂😂😂😂

Great informative video my friend, thank you for sharing. Stay safe out there. 😊

I just bought a Cnoc bag as an extra water bladder, but I usually use my Grayl, which I LOVE. So simple, so fast. Happy trails!

So clever!

I would still recommend back flushing the be free mine plugged up last season

I don't think I hike. I think I stroll. I like to look at all that surrounds me. At my rate, I'd complete the PCT in five years; hahahaha.

Hilarious!

You are so funny! 😂

Ha ha! Well I like to fastpack - and the light pack helps me keep ahead of some of the younger guys

Hilarious! I love it! Yes, it irritates me to see younger hikers breeze by me all day and then pass me again on their way down from the top when I'm still a long way from reaching the summit. I guess I'll just have to fantasize about Chainsaw Charlie waiting for them down the trail. That will make me smile!😆

The gift of gab can go a long way

Pretty funny. I don’t care to keep up with anyone.

Hahaha! I like your sense of humor. I make sure I'm the one carrying the bear spray. Actually, I prefer to hike my own hike. I haven't found a better hiking companion than my husband. If not him, then I'll go alone.

😂 Unfortunately two weeks late for my Denali trek with some younger hikers. The plastic bone would have been great!

😂😂😂😂 Brother, there is another reason I love ya. you got the same devious sense of humor as me. those tips are beautiful. But no more about Metamucil in your coffee, your giving away my secret weapon😂😂😂 . Dwayne

Good stuff!!

😅those are some good ones. I kept up on the AT by not stopping for beer in town and vlogging my journey. I got to rest in the most scenic spots while videoing.

I've been the faster hiker, but I frequently stop to take photos (which I've been told is annoying). I've found I prefer hiking solo 😂

Ego? Subconsciously yes, but once I realized they were 'breaking trail' for me and while they were attempting San Jacinto, i.e., and failing, I was saving time, energy, tread, and money, all the while catching up to them each time. jejeje I had to listen to the Metamucil bit three times b4 I realized you were being "lighthearted" Very good sir!

Great tips & tricks! Love the music & scenery.
