    Finally I won't have to follow you in the UK , your minimalist vids help me to clean my bedroom. It's going to be great to see your facial expressions of joy and surprise with the different foods ,the new scenery and of course all the new people . Can't wait to see you when you get to Washington. You Go Girl.

    *For thru hikers: To get all of these brands or the generic of these (half price) in San Diego, there are "Dollar Tree" and "99 Cent Only" stores. Closer than Walmart and REI for sure. Ask trail angels to take you there first, then the big stores.

    Heads up I’m sure you know about the record snow in the Sierra Nevadas, ice pick and cramp-ons are a must, you’re most likely gonna need it, and be very careful with them river crossings too dear. Use the gut hooks app or whatever app you feel comfortable to map out your route and also get real hard copy maps of your sections and learn to read them. Happy hiking and be safe! 🍻

    Well I found Mary Mansfield, aka "Tinkerbell", better late than never! I can't remember who mentioned you in their Vlog, but I've watched this and one of your PCT prep videos and can't wait to see the rest. I now have someone's adventure to watch between now, October 2019 and the start of March or April 2020, when the next thorough hiking season starts. You're so bubbly and excited, I know you're going to be so exciting to watch!!

    SPOILER ALERT --- Watching this tonight, your videos has you almost to the end of your PCT journey. It's fascinating coming back and seeing the excitement, anticipation and preparation before you set foot on the trail with the knowledge gained from watching just about everyone of your trail videos. The difference is a toughness earned, but you always have a cheery demeanor. Sure going to miss the "Gooood Morning." I've watched several through hikers on the PCT and you have truly been inspiring and a delight. I'm in California and am planning a significant section hike with my granddaughter, hopefully this coming summer or the next.

    Well at long last you are there now. What a journey in just getting to the start point. I bet you loved REI and Walmart so much choice in their stores. Hopefully all your planning will workout fine for and help you enjoy your trip. Cant wait to see your journey. Make sure you stay away from the bears, mountain lions and rattle snakes -- not trying to scare you. Be safe and enjoy yourself and keep putting one foot in front of another. All the best and keep plodding along.

    Back in the '70's, always carried Romneys Kendal Mint Cake! REI carried it for years. I now have to get online to order. Sugar and mint but perfect for the trail!

    What a great intro Mary and amazing editing. So happy you got here safely. I had both the Katmandu Curry and the Pad Thai and love those meals. I just had the "Three Sister Stew" this weekend on an overnighter and it was delicious too (it's beans, rice, courgette, corn). Love the Kendal Mint Cake LOL - my BF told me I had to have that hiking when we were in Cumbria. But where are the Jelly Babies??? ;) Have an amazing hike and I look forward to your next Video!!

    Those snickerdoodle cookies are the best flavor in my opinion- I like to add some nut butter to mine. Everything you grabbed looks yummy ( though in the US Folgers is just an ok brand for instant coffee- granted, we are a bit snobby with our coffee on the west coast- however for the cost its probably a great choice!) I'm so excited to watch your journey exploring my favorite side of America!

    I think you are going to make it all the way. Best of luck,

    Welcome to America.
    What a journey just to get here.
    Love Larry and lenny's cookies!!!, love the new cliff bars that are butter filled. I make my own trail mix of the same things, except for the pineapple. Looks like some very yummy meals. The night before trail is always fabulous at scout and frodo's.
    It looks like it's time to walk! Oops that hike here!!!
    Love that you are so prepared.
    I'll be waiting for you in Nor Cal!!!

    Nice seal lion shot in the surf. REI can forward gear by mail I believe so if you find the type of gear you want but not in your size you have all the REl stores to get stuff from. Okay, your on trail now probably. Should be a pretty year. You probably know about Poison Oak and Poodle Dog Bush, I suspect they will be a bit more prevalent. Have fun.

I'm happy that you finally made to the U.S. Hopefully, all of your gear arrived safely. Be sure that you have a lot of sunscreen.

    So good that you got your vegan resupply sorted out! I also noticed some brands are different on the West Coast than here on the East Coast. And those cookies!! So popular with hikers, vegan and nonvegan! Also, not sure if you came across any, but the Louisville Vegan Jerky is another good choice for vegan jerky.
