Probably my favorite video of yours. Thank you for sharing your genuine thoughts, emotions, and frustrations. It's so helpful for others to see the human side of such a challenging trip, so this vid was pretty impactful for me. Hope you're killing it in future land.
Well said!
Hi Jason I believe the trail finally hollared loud enough for you to listen. You figured out what you needed to do. Enjoy stay safe and listen to the trail. Take care.
Yes it really did.
That trekking pole looks like a divining rod, Jason...
Snow is a lot easier to hike theough than sand....which will wear out your calves in a hurry! And be glad it isn't 100° out there.
Will be 100 in a couple days. 😊
Whatever is in the way is the way. 🙏💓
I think because you are such a planner that the real lesson is to learn to adapt. Love watching your journey.
What another beautiful video, Jason! Say Hi to Bigfoot, and my heartfelt expression to the gentleman who couldn't make it, and perhaps he'll try again someday. You all please be careful out there in those passes, and on that snow and I'll continue to pray for your all's safety on the trail. God bless you.
I will also do nothing to keep them safe😂
Life will teach you patience if you listen. If not it puts snow in your path. Love to hear your raw emotions and thoughts. Hike on!
Mules Ears is what they call those plants/flowers.
Yep! Woolly Mule’s Ears.
Loved that montage around the 14 minute mark. Great music choice, too. I just had some Kickin' Chicken Hot Wings myself a few days ago as I was doing my second Gerard Trail thru hike.
Jason, you just lightened your trekking pole by around an ounce and it's still usable. Take the W!
Thats what being right here right now is for me. Not thinking about where to camp, where tomorrow, where next week etc and getting frustrated. Just deal with now. Enjoy the best bits of now and deal with the tribulations of now.
Your videos just keep getting better and better. I LOVE these!!
Enjoying your videos from Alabama!!
Just as you did on the AT, you'll find your way. On a side note, we hiked part of the Lost Turkey Trail in Blue Knob SP (a little bit of home for you), we did an 8 mile loop, hot and humid, tons of elevation, told my hubby (we're both 63), next time I mention through hiking the AT, remind me of today, LOL.
I always look forward to seeing your posts. It’s gives a real sense of perspective to how long it takes to hike a through hike. Good work.
Bummer about High Five. We each have to make decisions that are best for ourselves. As for patience, that’s why God gave you children.
Patience - my Mom had a definition of this. Learning to idle the engine when you feel like stripping the gears. Being on a time limit doesn't help - enjoy the moment and surroundings. Finish / don't finish doesn't matter. The trail isn't going anywhere - except what/where you are. Love your videos. Your doing something most can't. Is finishing more important than living in moment? Hope you don't think this is negative - you rock. Happy hiking - and I do mean HAPPY HIKING
Around this video point I just accept I may not finish and I'll just go until I run out of time.
Sorry to hear about High-five, glad he's ok though. Stay safe!
That may be the best Video for others thinking about the challenge of a Thru Hike than any thing I have seen. You mentioned the “Embrace the Suck” mantra previously. However, before you can embrace anything, you must first acknowledge and respect it, instead of competing against it. Your statement that you learned the most, when you started “Listening to the Trail”, is very impactful! I always said that, “If you compete against the Trail, it will always beat you down and Win”! Instead, a Hiker must “Flow with the Trail and it will provide” your needs and teach you lessons that are probably more important off Trail than on, Thanks for this Video. It’s getting to the heart of a Thru Hike! I agree with your approval of Leki as well! All poles break, but Leki stands behind their warranty, repair and replacement to serve their customer, True customer service! Finally, my biggest challenge as been to remain the Changed person (that you are demonstrating right now on trail) off trail, when “The speed of Life” increases compared to the hiking pace on the Trail”. But that is a post hike discussion after you have finished your PCT Experience! Thanks for Vlogging!
I’ve been following on IG . Clicked on this vid for the epiphany. Glad you figured it out just before the end of most of the snow 😂. It does take patience and perspective. Look at the big picture. You are doing it 👍. Good trail ahead - Enjoy
I knew that pole was done for when you held it up. I love Leki poles as well and have two sets of them. Hike was fun to watch and stay safe out there.
That plant looked like Mullein but usually the flowers are on a huge stalk, not small individual flowers. People say it helps with several ailments. And of course it makes great emergency TP!
Stay safe out there man! Totally diggin the song with clips near the end of video 👍🏽
too much powa on that unbending of the pole.... another sign of patience.. thanks for sharing been following you since AT... good luck
Love your reflections!!! Listen to the wisdom of the trail. Patience. Tolerance. Kindness. Love. Principles I highly value and live by, as best as I CAN, on any given day - on or off trail. Community First. Aloha, Coconut (PCT 2014, 2018)❤
Jason remember you are seeing our country that only a small percentage of the population will ever see, enjoy your journey it will stay with your the rest of your life.if you could show more of the scenery I would appreciate it. Or not that ok it your hike enjoy the rest of the hike 😊
What a cool lesson from the trail brother! Keep at it love the videos!
Mullein. Great medicine. Keep trekking Jason, and that's a great way to look at it, snow = patience. Can't wait to see you get to Canada!
You had a really tough day without a doubt. It’s good to air out your emotions. To me your strength is incredible. It is so good that you and big foot have each other, to talk and help pull each other through. Stay strong!!
Go!
Thank you!
wow that's rough for your buddy high 5// glad you were able to make it safely/ snow was rough but by now you're way past it glad you made it
Hey Thorn, yes we were both honestly shocked at the news.
@@FrozensAdventures so sad, i hope he makes it back another time
👍🐻🌲
I thought about this when I heard you were working on patience. I'm sure you've heard this before - but for me, worth an occasional reminder.
"...
I asked God to grant me patience,
And God said, “No.”
He said patience is a by-product of tribulation;
It isn’t granted, it is earned.
..."

Nature’s TP😉💩
Flowers are mules ears.
I know you lost a value piece of equipment- a trekking pole. Going through as many forests as you are. What about a make shift branch? I had only one wooden pole for years & it served me well.
Although my math is sketchy it looks to me like you are not too far from the midpoint on the PCT. Is that true? If so - yahoo!!!
I put up some comments an hour after you posted this vid earlier and I see it was removed. Nothing negative so it makes me wonder, how many others got removed too ?
You might be a Badass, have you considered that about yourself?
Never
What is the date for Day 63; is there a way to match days to dates.
I started April 12
There’s a “little” bit of difference between 3,000 and 10,000 feet of elevation ups and downs on the body, isn’t there. Wishing away your soreness!
You started this episode with "the wrong shoes. It's more about stubbornness then patients. Thru hikers are all obsessed with their trail runners but they are the wrong shoe for snow travel. They are two flexible, light and the treads are not thick enough for slushy snow. They are best for big miles and quick hiking. Just My two cents.
There's a reason why most thru hikers use trail runners though. It's not the wrong shoe at all. I don't see how a boot would help much more out here if that's the point you are making.
@@FrozensAdventures I use trail runner myself 90% of the time but when i hike in the snow winter ect i use a gortex shoe with a more agressive treaded with a little more wieght... But each his own. I always hate gear talk because it is such a personal thing. PCT seams challanging in its terrain changes and never have I hiked anything with such drastic changes so yup...much respect to you and your accomplishment. Thanks for the reply and truly Thanks for the videos also, i really am enjoying them.
As you kept pushing on your trekking pole I kept yelling at you. Stop it's there! You just went a bit too, but you couldn't see it as well as the angle of the camera.
