*Never* let your UA-cam channel drive your decisions. Do the hike in the way that makes you feel happiest, healthiest and safest. We're just riding in your pocket; we're not steering.
Kimberly G. Exactly! You’re doing amazing and have to do the safest thing for you! And we love the videos and your style or otherwise we wouldn’t be watching 😉👍🏻 we love you for YOU! Don’t feel like you have to do anything different just because we’re watching ❤️ We’re here rooting you on and so excited for each step you’re taking in this journey!
On trail eat up! You need the calories but off trail at home is where most people have problems. You should see a nutritionist after you finish the PCT!
Me, watching another video , notification come up , SCH has a new upload! How fast can I get there to watch! You took us underwear shopping! Totally enjoyed your ramblings, also wanna say this is still.your hike! Dont worry about UA-cam or others opinions, you hike your hike! Very greatful you take us along for glimpses of the journey, oh and editor, you rock!! Be safe sch, praying for your journey!
I hope you choose to hike the trail in the order that gives you the best chance of being successful. It will be much more enjoyable that way too. Go for it!
Love your rambling...you literally make me laugh out loud...you're so much fun to listen to. This is your hike, no one else's, and the most important thing is for you to stay safe while having fun and making great memories. Wish we could all be there to hug you! Would that be too many? Never, right? Lol...HUGS!!! from NS, 🇨🇦!
You are going to LOVE those Exofficio underwear! And YAY! Large! Whoo hoo! You’ll be in those Mediums before you know it! Keep on keeping on! You’re slayin it!
When I went on my weight loss journey what helped the most was only changing a couple things at a time. It doesn’t have to be 100% change right away. Your doing so many great things and once your comfortable you can change one or two more things. I hate the word diet. I like to see it as a lifestyle change. Always cheering for you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This probably sounds cheesy, but sometimes the secondary thoughts about your progress, goals, attitude and improvement get me choked up. You do your hike my man.
Another Canadian here!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 You're kickin ass and taking names! Amazing! I still can't get over the difference between you now, and you on the very first day you started! I bet you've already added 15 - 20 years to your life!! Keep it up!! The world needs less fights and *way* more hugs! You're amazing. 💕😊💕
Wilson!! Something my dad and I mutually understand. He got me into your videos and I am so glad he did. If you are reading this, hi, Dad! And hi, Second Chance :)
What can I say, have been watching from the beginning and love each and every video you put out. Great underwear story...congrats! Sending hugs from Canada. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Ever since your first video, i have wanted to hug you! i love big guy hugs! Big guy hugs are the best, yellow fluffy jackets are good hugs too, I wanna hug! You are awesome and love your rambling, in a tent, on the trail, in the snow, the most genuine, down to earth guy on youtube! Love you lots! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Safety first and this is your hike. You call the ball, not us viewers. You're doing great and your positive attitude is going to take you a long way - both on and off the trail!
Sierra’s in the fall would also be amazing!! No one will judge you if you flip flop around and see places at their most amazing time. Washington is also amazing so you could see that in July.
Are those dimples? SCH, you're looking awesome! Congrats on your weight loss. Take care of yourself, and remember to hike your own hike. We love you!!!
You are doing such a great job ! I've been watching since the beginning and just can't get over how you have pushed yourself through the struggles. Love the videos. Be safe. Flip North if you feel the seirras will be safer and more beautiful
Sending hugs from Arkansas! HYOH I've read about the Sierras this year. I've seen others already flip to Oregon. No shame in that at all. You are looking so happy and healthy and strong. Love you, Cory!
Sending you 🤗 a hug. The hubs and I head out to Yosemite in a couple weeks. In years past we see a lot of PCT’ers in The Valley mid June, but it looks like more and more are flipping to Oregon this year. Look forward to see what you do.
Going back over your historical vids....fun to review your progress this morning. Kim Chi’s goodness is because it’s fermented. Very good for gut health.🌷🌷
The Sierras have been really bad this year, still even now (since i know these videos are delayed). I think you and others are wise to choose safety. Some of the posts from those who are hiking through are terrifying and frankly it makes me angry they would risk their lives, and perhaps the lives of rescue personnel. I think early on you said you were hiking to live, not hiking to die. Still applies. Love seeing your videos. Hugs 🤗
Many huge hugs to you . To me you are Mr. Epic because your life is larger than your body . MUCH love and cheering on thanks for the great gift you give us who follow you online.Ooooooooox
When the kimchi hits the fan. Is the best description of it I have heard. Very much a acquired taste but good when you get used to it. Great job of setting a 15 mile daily goal. You are becoming a walking machine! The first couple weeks of your videos I was thinking you would not finish due to low mileage days now I think you will finish the trail this year! Keep working towards your goals you are making great strides.
Enjoying your videos!! You are heading to Canada... The AT next!! You always have a positive out look..makes me smile..always keep your clothes clean from food while cooking and keep your food away from your tent!! Bears love anything sweet.even tooth paste..you will be skinny by Canada!! No worries you are right on track!!!
You're hilarious Cory! Hugs to you!! I think flipping is a great idea...this year has been the most snow, hanging on everywhere and you do need to think safety first AND to see the Sierra's when they are blooming and beautiful would make it all worthwhile...it's your hike so do it your way...you're doing great!
I'd recommend mid August through early September start for the Sierra this year to see it at its best. Also, lots of snow in Nor Cal and Oregon this year. I was hiking around Castle Crags on June 7, and the snow was solid at around 6,000 feet with several feet of snow on north facing slopes. We are over 2 months behind a normal year in terms of snow melting off.
I don't think you need to worry about what you're eating as long as you're getting some from each category; carbs, proteins, sugars etc. But anyways it's so cool to watch your journey. This is amazing. Like soooo many people who are 350+ are about to attempt to hike the pct next year. You are a true inspiration to so many Cory. It's so exciting to peak into your life here and there. Love your thoughts. I've watched every video. Love them all. Can't wait for more! Also - loving these longer videos. Omg so excited for you dude!!!!
Also the video quality is truly amazing. I watch you on the big screen sometimes and literally would never know it was an iPhone. Chrome from Van City Van Life used his iPhone as well and it's sooooo good!!
Congratulations on smaller underwear - smaller than you expected! And for an "easy 5 miles". Ive been following since the beginning, and remember when there was no easy mile. Do your hike and keep safety in mind. We all want to see you get to Canada. Lots of big hugs from NJ.
Snow will be deep until mid August in the Sierras. Many hikers are going to southern Oregon and north to the Canadian border. From there, bounce back and hike south through northern Cal' and the Sierras to finish on top Whitney. Sounds like a plan. This is advisable as fire season is coming to Oregon and Washington when things dry out and that means going around and skipping some trail. Doing things early through there would be good then . . . Finishing in the Sierras would be fantastic and especially on top of Whitney.
So happy for you on this adventure! You stay safe and do what is best for you. We (my boys and I) love watching you. Thanks for being an inspiration. Remember, you are turning fat into muscle. So the scale may not be reflect your body changes. Love ya, lots of hugs!
Thats awesome that you are in a large now!!!!! I spent 3 years in korea and i love Kimchee. A thing with your feet. When you stop to rest put your feet up. In the words of Darwinonthetrail Hike your own hike. If you go straight through Washington state is Phenomenally beautiful in the july August timeframe. Also Oregon is beautiful. Keep being an inspiration, even to those of us who are somewhat fit you are still an inspiration keep on keeping on and do something everyday that is outside your comfort zone. Stay happy brother!!!!
I think flip-flopping is an excellent idea Cory right now the Sierras are not The best place for hiking. It’s tough it’s snowing it’s icy and anything could happen up in those areas. There’s no shame in flip-flopping. When you’re filming show us where you came from can you see the trail behind you. Show us where you’re going give us some names of some of the mountain tops that you’re looking at. One of the things that most of us like about you is you keep it real. This is been an epic journey for you and there’s still plenty to come. Somebody needs to write a book about you and your journey or video.
No hike should be held to a certain "way"that it must be done. Plenty will give opinions on what and how to do anything. In the end you decide what is best for YOU. That is what hike your own hike is all about. You have touched many lives and will continue to do so. You do that by being genuine. This is why your channel grew like it did. People are tired of fakers and posers. You have got real charisma and determination.
I have the zenzah compressor sleeves they go almost to my knees. $35.00. I wear fox river liners under my wool socks. I'm keto for a year now because I'm a diabetic. When hiking I go up to 80-90 carbs. Stay safe. Nothing wrong with flipping for safety.
You are 100% correct that you need carbs for the amount of hiking you are doing. 65lbs is amazing, keep up the great work! I swell a lot when I hike and run. While running a marathon the medics told me that I needed more salt. So hopefully your salty foods will help with swelling. 🙂
You might need to look at a joint supplement with chondroitin glucosamine and turmeric. Good for inflammation, good for cartilage support. Great to see your progress, you look like a completely different person already. While I am not on trail, you have inspired me to put in the work. I did my first 15 mile day yesterday. In may I did 250 miles and am trying to get over 300 and would love to get closer to 400 in June. Thank you!!!
Cory!! Near the beginning of your video you mentioned just doing an easy five miles!! Oh my Gosh! Remember at the beginning when you were struggling just to squeeze out three?!? You. Are. AWESOME!!
You're doing a great job! It's so awesome that your weight loss journey is going well, remember not to just focus on the weight lost, but also the muscle you are gaining! And if you are going to take Ibuprofen please make sure to eat something when you do. You don't want to take it on an empty stomach or it could cause stomach issues. Flip if you think it's what's best for you. Happy trails and the world needs more hugs!
Intermittent fasting rocks! I have lost 111 lbs in exactly 6 months. My goal is to hike to Havasu falls (Grand Canyon) next year. 10 miles from the trailhead to the campground. It will be about 30 miles in four days. I have never backpacked before. You are definitely “da man.” You lost your initial weight on the trail. You are an inspiration to soooooo many. Rock on man.
Two years ago was a high snow year and hikers drowned on Serra river crossing. Come back in July. For me experiencing the beauty is way more important than pounding down miles
Good food choice. You need to eat or your body won't let go of the fat. & you have probably gained 20lbs in muscle. The only thing your food is missing is fiber & potassium. Love&Blessings
Second Chance, I agree with your assessment of the Sierras this year. Flip up north and come back to do the miles when the snowpack has melted off some. I have the same camo Duplex tent as you; It looked to me like you had your small pointy end of the trekking pole in the pole cup at the doorway. Interesting. I always put the handle into the cup. Is it stable enough? Hike on, and hugs!
I have really enjoyed your videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and I am very impressed by your tenacity and optimism. It truly is amazing what you have done to date. One idea for trail food -- trail mix. I would think that nuts and dried fruit would be more nutritious than Pringles and lighter than olives. On a different topic, you should definitely HYOH, and don't let your followers influence whether you flip or not. I personally think flipping would be a good idea. You might want to look at Little Skittle's videos, particularly her last one of the section from Mammoth to Sonora Pass, to see whether you really want to do the Sierra now. I have hiked in the Sierra in September and early October, and it is a lovely time to hike and you wouldn't have to worry about raging creeks and lots of snow. Keep on trucking! You are keeping me entertained while I am recovering from a leg injury, and not allowed to do too much vigorous exercise.

I love what you're doing but make sure you have a plan for when you get home! You will have your old temptations again and won't be as active.
David English I don’t think people hike the pct then once they get home become a couch potato, the pct changes you for life
@@stevievgoku I agree, I just love what he's doing and I hope he will continue what he's doing when he gets off the trail
Second Chance Hiker: HERE IS A VIRTUAL-H-U-G-Just for you, you are awesome!!
Hugs to you!
*Never* let your UA-cam channel drive your decisions. Do the hike in the way that makes you feel happiest, healthiest and safest. We're just riding in your pocket; we're not steering.

We’re here rooting you on and so excited for each step you’re taking in this journey!
Lol...🤣 Dear editor, you are a riot!
On trail eat up! You need the calories but off trail at home is where most people have problems. You should see a nutritionist after you finish the PCT!
I'd recommend a dietitian instead. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist; a dietitian actually has a medical degree and additional training.
So glad my son got to meet you today Second Chance! When he started 4/19...we talked about this possibility. Hope he gave you a hug. Lol
Your face is looking thinner!! I see dimples 😍 keep it up second chance! I hope to see you in Washington this summer.
Word on the street is he likes hugs...give him a big one from me if you run into him, please!
He’s very handsome!
Me, watching another video , notification come up , SCH has a new upload! How fast can I get there to watch! You took us underwear shopping!

Yes, your filming is somewhat rough you can say, but you've got an editor with humor and it's such a great match. Keep on rollin'! :-)
I hope you choose to hike the trail in the order that gives you the best chance of being successful. It will be much more enjoyable that way too. Go for it!
Totally agree with you about the Sierra. 👍 And am sending a virtual hug 🤗.

I just love those dimples. They keep getting bigger and bigger ✌🏼🇨🇦
Thank you for the heads up on where are!! God Bless your journey!! You are doing awesome!!!!!

💕😊💕
Ah........ new underwear, Kimchi, and hugs. Life is good. 65 lbs. and 22 thousand people wishing you the best. Amazing !
You are doing so well and you look at good dude! Glowing as well. You are regaining more than your physical health brother.
Sounds like you've got a great plan. You seem seriously happy. You're rocking it.
🤗 safety always comes first. You're doing great. Flip up there and hit the sierras in better weather. 🤗
Wilson!! Something my dad and I mutually understand. He got me into your videos and I am so glad he did. If you are reading this, hi, Dad! And hi, Second Chance :)
Also definitely flip, hike the areas in the best weather/condition. Plus it will help you avoid fire season in Oregon.
Your hike, your journey....I'm just happy you share it all with us :)
What can I say, have been watching from the beginning and love each and every video you put out. Great underwear story...congrats! Sending hugs from Canada. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Dude!! I love that you call your pillow Wilson, that's so awesome!
When you're checking your weight, bear in mind you'll also be putting on muscle. So, you you'll have lost more weight than the scales will say.
you make my day every time i watch you. thanks your awesome
Look at your cheeks!!!!! Looking good! Also, never underestimate the power of a hug - they are the best!!! I hug everyone too!
Sierra’s in the fall would also be amazing!! No one will judge you if you flip flop around and see places at their most amazing time. Washington is also amazing so you could see that in July.

Long distant hug...following you since your start. Safety first but keep it up!
Your face already looks different from when you started. You have been through so many incredible experiences. I'm so watch your journey!
Sending hugs from Arkansas! HYOH I've read about the Sierras this year. I've seen others already flip to Oregon. No shame in that at all. You are looking so happy and healthy and strong. Love you, Cory!
Sending you a big hug so glad you are going to flip I was worried about that part of the trail.
Proud of you 2nd chance - you are an inspiration
Sending you 🤗 a hug. The hubs and I head out to Yosemite in a couple weeks. In years past we see a lot of PCT’ers in The Valley mid June, but it looks like more and more are flipping to Oregon this year. Look forward to see what you do.
A big hug for you. You are awesome. Happy trails.
Ramble away, it's part of the hike! Just keep going!!

Going back over your historical vids....fun to review your progress this morning. Kim Chi’s goodness is because it’s fermented. Very good for gut health.🌷🌷

You are too cute, Corey. I love your dimples. PS. Hugs are highly underrated!
sending you lots of hugs!!!! you are doing amazing. Keep going, but remember, this is YOUR journey, not youtube's.
"Easy 5 miles". Who would have thought?! Yay, you!
I know! It's the best. 🙌🏼
You are doing a great job.....Love you talk...so encouraging....
Should be how you talk...
I don't think you need to worry about what you're eating as long as you're getting some from each category; carbs, proteins, sugars etc. But anyways it's so cool to watch your journey.

Also the video quality is truly amazing. I watch you on the big screen sometimes and literally would never know it was an iPhone. Chrome from Van City Van Life used his iPhone as well and it's sooooo good!!
So inspiring I have no excuse I need to get moving you are incredible! I can see and hear your change and confidence I’m rooting for you !
Congratulations on smaller underwear - smaller than you expected! And for an "easy 5 miles". Ive been following since the beginning, and remember when there was no easy mile. Do your hike and keep safety in mind. We all want to see you get to Canada. Lots of big hugs from NJ.

I keep loving your video updates. They're just fun to watch and listen to. Lotsa hugs coming your way.
You're not going to finish if you don't enjoy the snow, but you'll learn to enjoy it
P.S. your hiking in 2019 the snow year I believe in you!!!!
Hugs hugs hugs 🤗🤗🤗sending you way
So proud of you. You are doing amazing. Please tell me you are properly storing your food outside of your tent at night to avoid issues with bears:)
My lord my man. I haven’t been able to watch for a whole month and you look like you lost an insane amount of weight. Good shit brother.
LOOK AT YOU!!! SO PROUD OF YOU!!! YOUR AWESOME!!
I think flip-flopping is an excellent idea Cory right now the Sierras are not The best place for hiking. It’s tough it’s snowing it’s icy and anything could happen up in those areas. There’s no shame in flip-flopping. When you’re filming show us where you came from can you see the trail behind you.

Good you are finding your way. Keep trekking.
No hike should be held to a certain "way"that it must be done. Plenty will give opinions on what and how to do anything. In the end you decide what is best for YOU.

Big HUGS my friend!! You are one Super Guy👍
Sending you a hug from Canada 🇨🇦 you are inspirational 😘
Big hugs back to you.
Hey Cory, sending greetings and huge HUGS from Germany! Hike on, you rock! 😊👍💜
You just rock. So proud of you!
You get stronger every video. Keep it up!
I have the zenzah compressor sleeves they go almost to my knees. $35.00. I wear fox river liners under my wool socks. I'm keto for a year now because I'm a diabetic. When hiking I go up to 80-90 carbs. Stay safe. Nothing wrong with flipping for safety.
NEWS FLASH!! Cory has the cutest dimples!!!🤣
2nd Chance. This is your flipping hike. Do it any way you like.
{congrats on the Large underwear}
You are 100% correct that you need carbs for the amount of hiking you are doing. 65lbs is amazing, keep up the great work! I swell a lot when I hike and run. While running a marathon the medics told me that I needed more salt. So hopefully your salty foods will help with swelling. 🙂
bro keep up the work. we in CANADA all Love you
Another Canadian following you!
Amazing progress Second Chance! Yeah, you do the trail the way that’s best for you!
You might need to look at a joint supplement with chondroitin glucosamine and turmeric. Good for inflammation, good for cartilage support. Great to see your progress, you look like a completely different person already. While I am not on trail, you have inspired me to put in the work. I did my first 15 mile day yesterday. In may I did 250 miles and am trying to get over 300 and would love to get closer to 400 in June. Thank you!!!
Cory!! Near the beginning of your video you mentioned just doing an easy five miles!! Oh my Gosh! Remember at the beginning when you were struggling just to squeeze out three?!? You. Are. AWESOME!!
Big hugs right back to ya!
Olives? Why did I never think of olives for trail food? Genius! Also REI has a generous return policy if those sock aren’t working for you.
You're doing a great job! It's so awesome that your weight loss journey is going well, remember not to just focus on the weight lost, but also the muscle you are gaining! And if you are going to take Ibuprofen please make sure to eat something when you do. You don't want to take it on an empty stomach or it could cause stomach issues. Flip if you think it's what's best for you.
Happy trails and the world needs more hugs!
Intermittent fasting rocks! I have lost 111 lbs in exactly 6 months. My goal is to hike to Havasu falls (Grand Canyon) next year. 10 miles from the trailhead to the campground. It will be about 30 miles in four days. I have never backpacked before. You are definitely “da man.” You lost your initial weight on the trail. You are an inspiration to soooooo many. Rock on man.
How did it go, or is it imminent?
Cory you are doing great buddy keep it up
Also the flip flop in your situation sounds like an excellent idea.
You are such a beautiful soul!
Two years ago was a high snow year and hikers drowned on Serra river crossing. Come back in July. For me experiencing the beauty is way more important than pounding down miles
Good food choice. You need to eat or your body won't let go of the fat. & you have probably gained 20lbs in muscle. The only thing your food is missing is fiber & potassium. Love&Blessings
Second Chance, I agree with your assessment of the Sierras this year. Flip up north and come back to do the miles when the snowpack has melted off some. I have the same camo Duplex tent as you; It looked to me like you had your small pointy end of the trekking pole in the pole cup at the doorway. Interesting. I always put the handle into the cup. Is it stable enough? Hike on, and hugs!
I have really enjoyed your videos. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and I am very impressed by your tenacity and optimism. It truly is amazing what you have done to date. One idea for trail food -- trail mix. I would think that nuts and dried fruit would be more nutritious than Pringles and lighter than olives. On a different topic, you should definitely HYOH, and don't let your followers influence whether you flip or not. I personally think flipping would be a good idea. You might want to look at Little Skittle's videos, particularly her last one of the section from Mammoth to Sonora Pass, to see whether you really want to do the Sierra now. I have hiked in the Sierra in September and early October, and it is a lovely time to hike and you wouldn't have to worry about raging creeks and lots of snow. Keep on trucking! You are keeping me entertained while I am recovering from a leg injury, and not allowed to do too much vigorous exercise.
