    "I'm glad I'm not a plant"
    "Why's that?"
    "Cause people would walk through me"
    Gotta love those deep on-trail conversations man.

      John Zahorian yeah i’m trying but my parents won’t let me go solo so it’s kinda tough. i don’t know anyone irl that hikes as fast as me. ua-cam.com/video/4erXzf3D3iM/v-deo.html here’s my video. it’s really bad compared to you though

    Amazing to see this beautiful piece of land so undeveloped towards tourism...seems like that is THE place to hike :) (even it was not even on the GDT)

    • @JohnZahorian
      @JohnZahorian  7 років тому

      yea it's the classic national park zoo along going to the sun road but the rest is relatively little traveled

  • @brycebrinker3135
    @brycebrinker3135 7 років тому

    What a beautiful slice of wilderness. I've never backpacked anywhere that rivaled Glacier. It' funny, my buddy and I jumped off the PCT in July, an excursion initially inspired by your videos. On our way home to South Dakota we stopped in Glacier and spent a week doing the same route up to Ellen Willis, past Reynolds, etc only a week after you were there. Anyways, your videos have definitely been a huge reason I've been inspired to get out and adventure. Thank you!

    What route did you take to approach GDT that went by Lake Ellen Wilson? My partner and I hiked through there, and over Gunsight Pass in a snowstorm, on our way down from Sperry Chalet (RIP) in mid Sep 2015 (just a minute after you were in GNP finishing the CDT, I guess). Then got stuck on the wrong side of a Going to the Sun Road Closure and had to get a special shuttle to take our wet ass selves 3 hours around the park to our car. One of the greatest days of my life (not even kidding). After binging all your vids, it makes me weirdly happy to discover that same spot was personally significant for you.

    • @JohnZahorian
      @JohnZahorian  7 років тому

      started at lake mcdonald, went to many glacier in a day via gunsight + piegan passes. ptarmigan tunnel was closed and ahern drift was sketchy so we went around the east side with some walkup permits from many glacier

  • @beeveedee9355
    @beeveedee9355 7 років тому

    Love your photography style. Do you shoot wide open on your aperture all the time? Although it does seem like your camera has a hard time reacquiring focus sometimes. Really love the light, and the color of your videos also (do you slightly underexpose?). Keep on hiking and making videos!

    • @JohnZahorian
      @JohnZahorian  7 років тому +2

      ya i got an nd filter but really need to get an adjustable one because i so rarely wanted to bother taking it off but i liked being able to go wide open when i wanted to. but it ended up leaving me way more open most of the time than i wanted. add to that my camera having a real hard time focusing and ya i was pretty bummed with a lot of the results but have a good feel for what to do going forward. i always slightly underexpose in camera and then for this series have been adding some subtle orange+teal and contrast

    Nice, I'll have to get there someday! Will there be any videos from your AZT adventure this past spring?

    • @JohnZahorian
      @JohnZahorian  7 років тому

      i'll probably use the footage for something at some point

    • @russellinthebush2897
      @russellinthebush2897 7 років тому

      I figured you had some footage of the fire you dealt with you would use. That flared up so fast. I'm hoping to get on the GET from AJ to Safford in two or three weeks.

    Looks like you got a walk up permit for Elizabeth Lake Foot on the night of July 3? I had an advanced reservation to camp there that night, but gave up my permit on July 2. If it was you that took my spot, I no longer feel so bad about cancelling my trip!

    I know some hikers that typically do not carry bear spray on the trail do in Yellowstone and Glacier. Did either of you carry anything for bear defense besides knowledge, experience, and practicing LNT principles while in Grizzly country?

  • @cameronrichards1667
    @cameronrichards1667 7 років тому

    John, have you given any thought into doing the CDT again someday? It would be cool to see you revisit the same locations that you traveled through your first time and also through glacier NP since you weren't able to finish the trail via that section.

      could happen. not on my radar at the moment

    What do you do about river and wet crossings concerning footwear? I'm curious how this is tackled without getting blisters and keeping feet dry.

    Second pair of shoes on your pack?

    • @stuminnis4050
      @stuminnis4050 7 років тому +1

      My question too. Here's my guess. He has a pair of shoes that only have a little life in them when he starts the trail, decides that instead of worrying about trying to find his fave shoes in the great white north, and unwilling to bail on current shoes until they're truly cashed, Johnny decides to bite the UL bullet and carry the new spares until needed. That's all I got. Am I right?

    • @JohnZahorian
      @JohnZahorian  7 років тому +6

      pretty accurate. neemor and i were both packin some new shoes, wearin some fairly worn out shoes with

    • @sanfransimo

      Here I thought you were going to throw them on your hands and break out into a four-legged trot! Stu's deductive reasoning seems to be a bit more on point than my own.

    • @JohnZahorian
      @JohnZahorian  7 років тому

      i explained why in another comment somewhere. basically was the easiest/cheapest/safest option with going into canada. neemor carried a new pair too. ditched the old in the first major town and had enough life in the shoes to safely take me to the end.

    • @mikerankin27
      @mikerankin27 7 років тому

      ha, I see it now thanks for the response man. Your video rocks and it makes me so ready to get on this trail, it's been on my radar for some time now. Seeing this makes that approach trail a must too!
