stunning scenery capture Jupiter. The vastness of that part of the Sierra is depicted well, when standing in that land, one becomes ifull of awe for the power of the tectonics that created those mountains, and thanks for sharing your experience for those that cannot. or like me, who cannot film my traverse…
Truly happy for you and very much appreciated you sharing this with us. I’d like to see more of you setting up camp, eating, etc. if you’re so inclined to squeeze some in. 🤙🏻
Holy crap, I've never hiked the Sierra with so little snow! It looks so different! I agree with you that the sketchy parts are often the most fun. I remember hiking with Rits and Trex in the Wind River and going up Texas Pass. We totally missed the trail and rock climbed up the whole way. I could have done that all day long, so fun!
yeah and that included that insane uphill to the kearsarge area before Glen.....I did Kearsarge and Glen in a day this summer. I'm still looking for where my leg fell off.
Love your videos! It’s great to see places I haven’t been, and also (like this video) revisit the places I’ve been to. Crossing that bridge was quite a moment.
Stunning once again. Just can't get over it how great this video was. Knocked me out--as always. For me, Jupe is 'the' hiker I look forward too most of all.
John Muir referred to the Sierra Nevada as the range of light. After your trek, we'll need to change that to "the range of light speed." Silliness aside, many thanks for your videos. The effort required to vlog your journey is amazing. Much appreciated.
So I went back and watched the part of ep5 where I thought I saw Sprocket hiking in Crocs and realised it was wearing gaiters and the angle of gaiter over the heel made it appear she was in Crocs! Love your adventures and videos!
Jupiter, you should be really proud of yourself for this series. As stated, the binge watch continues. Good Scotch in hand; loving it. May I ask, what is your source for music/audio?
Thank you! I think the binge watch is the best way. I use epidemic sound for music. Still takes me a very long time to find songs I actually want to use, though it does narrow things down slightly
I was a week behind you and remember seeing your IG post about the fun rock hopping down Mather which alleviated some of the fear mongering. It was okay. Thanks!
What a rugged, gorgeous stretch of land. I didn't realize that was the Sierras. No trees! Lo!. Great work, looks fun to me too.Taking time in that last snowy bit because of uneven terrain underneath or slick without spikes? Just curious. I can see but not feel it like you. Love your joy, it's so contagious.😁
I was taking my time on that particular snow because it was late in the day and the snow had melted quite a bit. I mostly did not want to posthole! But beyond that finding solid footing always important when the slope besides me is quite steep and rocky!
Thanks a million for all of the great videos you have really demonstrated what ultra light is about. Quick question why do you and other major ultra light hikers use the two part aquamira water system......instead of just bleach.....?
Many do use bleach. I could list quite a few friends and we'll known hikers who do. I used aquamira here simply because I had it on hand. I had remembered a source or two in the desert (from my 2018 hike) that had a dead animal in it, so I used aquamira over a Sawyer in case I saw that again. Normally I would use a Sawyer, or nothing
@@JupiterHikes Thanks you've inspired me to start dialing my gear in towards UL.....I just ordered a GG Kumo 36L Its a step in the right direction.....be safe and have fun....!!!
Funny, most all these locations are burned into my memory from my own hike, such a beautiful place. Question: were you so early in the season you didn't have bugs/mosquitos on your thru? Even in Oregon? I know you brought a head net, but I also know you cowboy or tarp camp. Do you sleep with head net on if the pests are bad? Thx.
I think in a lot of ways it is campsite selection. While most will camp by that water source i'll keep going, or i'll find a breezy spot if bugs are around, or i'll just walk until i don't 'feel' the presence of bugs anymore as some spots are better than others for unknown reasons. I came across this group of hikers who were camped in a mosquito nightmare, thousands of them swarming, but ya know i walked no more than 10 minutes further... and no bugs! So all of those things are important for tarp camping
It's unfortunately not even that dirty! I made a mistake and washed it with a brand new pair of black shorts.... and it came out the wash looking like that! The only thing that would fix it was some bleach, after finishing the hike
Jupiter! You have been incredibly inspiring and I appreciate your mindfulness, simplicity and joy! I do have 1 question. On what date did you start the sierras (Kennedy Meadows South)? Thanks brother!
I think it was something like june 8th. it is known that 'ray day' june 15th (named after the hiking legend ray jardine) is considered to be the best time to get to kennedy meadows south and begin the sierra. I was slightly early
@@JupiterHikes you really have to watch the rain - in rainier times June can be virtually closed for hiking (fun hiking anyway). last cpl years thats not been the case.
What kind of site were you able to find to set up camp after traversing these passes? It looks like it's all rocky sloping terrain? Thanks for another great video!
As i drop down in elevation theres more trees and some nice grassy spots! Camping high in elevation wouldn't be great so most camp in the lower sections, do one pass, then camp in the low section before the next one
What dates? Did roughly one pass per day and hit all the resupplies. Whitney 21 Jun, Muir Hut 28 Jun, VVR 3 Jul, Tuolumne 8 Jul. Wish this author'd used all allowed 35-days? Whitney was warm and calm the day before and the day after, but blowing and freezing on the 21st. Didn't dare go within fifty-feet of the edge. Hut had four-feet of snow inside, but warmed up inside for an hour or more. Most passes were well defined, 'peaky.' Mather was more of a plateau. Lots of post-holing for the fat guy (this author) who sunk where others floated. Had micro-spikes, almost used them approaching Muir-Hut, but never did. Dead-weight. It was a dream, over too quickly. Thanks for cinematic's of 2022 memories.
I used the 450, wish i had the 500 tho. I skimped myself on food to make it fit. And yes I did keep my food in it, and i did store it away from camp each night as per regulation. rules are there for a reason!
@@JupiterHikes Thanks for doing it and for saying it. I've never fit more than 6 days in a 450 with the first day's food outside of it. I'm sure I could if I could learn to like couscous. :-)
well sir you are not obsessing enough....it requires something like one hour of staring at a pile per pound of food. With a lie about your whiskey you can fit 6 days and 5 nights in a BV450. Repackage everything, think powders, dried beans and only high calorie per ounce items. I actually like carrying a bear can. I love not worrying whats in my food and legit hangs are near impossible in the sierra's. Yep more obsessing is what you need.
I used the V2, not the desert! Also the white shirt looks dirty, but that is because I washed it with brand new black shorts! It turned my white shirt grey even though it is clean. Something I hadn't experienced before or learned not to do apparently. Nothing some bleach cant fix however
I recognize the rock at the top of Glen pass from this summer. I was sitting on it when a guy in a perfectly clean white collared hiking shirt came up to the summit......like a GD Eagle scout. It was pretty badass looking.
Thank you for watching! If you aren't already, subscribe to this channel for more thru hiking :)
You know it’s a serious hike when Jupiter carries a trekking pole!
Your smile is infectious, you make me happy. Have enjoyed your PCT adventures.

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing not just the beauty of the Sierras, but your thoughtful appreciation of your surroundings. Happy hiking!
Sure appreciate you for taking the considerable time it takes to film.
I love your enthusiasm and genuine smiles. The fact that you’re a hiking machine makes me shake my head in wonder. Keep enjoying and stay safe.
As always, your positivity is heartwarming!
Just stunning. Your film making ability really inspires me Jupiter. Just fantastic.
Holy crap, I've never hiked the Sierra with so little snow! It looks so different! I agree with you that the sketchy parts are often the most fun. I remember hiking with Rits and Trex in the Wind River and going up Texas Pass. We totally missed the trail and rock climbed up the whole way. I could have done that all day long, so fun!
Holy crap. I can't believe you did Forester and Glen in a day!
yeah and that included that insane uphill to the kearsarge area before Glen.....I did Kearsarge and Glen in a day this summer. I'm still looking for where my leg fell off.
Love your videos! It’s great to see places I haven’t been, and also (like this video) revisit the places I’ve been to.
Crossing that bridge was quite a moment.
…and to see Pinchot Pass for the “first” time because I crossed it at night!
Great shots Jupiter! Your videos are always inspiring. Thanks for making them
I’m so glad to see the PCT with you. This video was just otherworldly and the scenery was amazing. Very Cute marmot.
Thanks for sharing. It brings back some great memories of hiking in the Sierra.
Really enjoying watching!!
Thank you for sharing
Happy trails 🦘
Your hikes are fun to watch Jupiter.
Nice vids Jupiter , I wait every week for the next ones
Stunning once again. Just can't get over it how great this video was. Knocked me out--as always. For me, Jupe is 'the' hiker I look forward too most of all.
I too, look forward to the next video. I love the beautiful scenery. Jupiter, you are a beast hiking 30+ miles a day!

Jupiter Great video and editing - especially with the pace that you are holding. Keep on keepin' on!
Uh yeah I'm thrilled 2... u suffering with a heavy pack like the rest of us do.🤣🥰❤️
So glad to hear you are having the Time of Your Life !
Oh the cinema! Stunning footage always.
Amazing, great job my friend 🙂
So I went back and watched the part of ep5 where I thought I saw Sprocket hiking in Crocs and realised it was wearing gaiters and the angle of gaiter over the heel made it appear she was in Crocs! Love your adventures and videos!
It’s so beautiful 😭 hope you’re well ✨
I love the videos you create. Thank you for sharing these with us and Happy Thanksgiving 🙂

@@JupiterHikes I can appreciate that; music is my primary struggle for my channel ( @GREYWOLFMTB ). I spend hours looking for decent music.
Shocking how little snow in the Sierra, but probably the result of an extreme drought.
Nice to be young!
I was a week behind you and remember seeing your IG post about the fun rock hopping down Mather which alleviated some of the fear mongering. It was okay. Thanks!
Good stuff

5:40.....thats the very reason I backpack. I dare anyone to stand there and resist the temptation to be a backpacker forever.

What’s the date for when you were there? I don’t see it mentioned in the video or description. That would be helpful! Thanks
“So stinkin beautiful”
Right as I’m wallowing in the stench of my own fart. Lol
It would really help to know that date(s) the videos are filmed. It makes a big difference in snow and temps. What were the temps?
Thanks!
Thank you!!
Love your videos, brother!

I only slept with the headnet once or twice the whole trip, the rest of the time i was good without
Show us your camp!
Loving the sunglasses!
the hardware store lady where i bought them told me i looked too feminine with them, and should choose something more manly lol
@@JupiterHikes Ha ha - nah. It’s a thru-hiker thing. Like painting your nails!
"So stinkin Beautiful " lndeed brother, indeed!!
27 miles a day in the Sierras. Wowza
Awesome 😎
7:30 Look at that chunky boy! Marmots are amazing.
awesome episode man! stunning country. did the ombraz die?
no i forgot them in a hotel :(((((((((((
The shirt is so dirt 😅 I love it! Might have to go with a white shirt as well
It's unfortunately not even that dirty! I made a mistake and washed it with a brand new pair of black shorts.... and it came out the wash looking like that! The only thing that would fix it was some bleach, after finishing the hike
@@JupiterHikes oh too bad! Something to keep in mind if bringing white clothes I guess since separate laundry loads is too timely! haha

Hey Jupiter! Love the videos! I'm wondering what software you use to edit them?
davinci resolve!
SPECTACULAR,!!

Are you still cowboy camping through this section? Or using that trekking pole to pitch a tarp?
cowboy camping, trekking pole just used for snow! though if it is going to rain i will setup my tarp, it just isn't raining at all yet
How many Benadryl and how big of a joint does it take to sleep on a foam pad with a 30 degree quilt? 😅
zero for both! at least for me, though i don't recommend the pad it is what i have used for the last 8 years of thru hiking
👍❤️👍EPICITY
Awesome ! Maybe a stupid question, but which bear canister are you using ? (had hard time to fit more than 5 days in the BV500 :D )
I’m sure he doesn’t keep all of his food in it or at all, just bring it with for the regulations. Just my guess though =)
I used the 450, wish i had the 500 tho. I skimped myself on food to make it fit. And yes I did keep my food in it, and i did store it away from camp each night as per regulation. rules are there for a reason!
@@JupiterHikes Thanks for doing it and for saying it. I've never fit more than 6 days in a 450 with the first day's food outside of it. I'm sure I could if I could learn to like couscous. :-)
@@JupiterHikes Thank you ! I wish you all the best :)
well sir you are not obsessing enough....it requires something like one hour of staring at a pile per pound of food. With a lie about your whiskey you can fit 6 days and 5 nights in a BV450. Repackage everything, think powders, dried beans and only high calorie per ounce items. I actually like carrying a bear can. I love not worrying whats in my food and legit hangs are near impossible in the sierra's. Yep more obsessing is what you need.
What camera did you you use?
Sony zv1
When was this done?
Nice
Did you use the V2 desert pack? I have to ask…, why bother with a white shirt? Lol😊
I used the V2, not the desert! Also the white shirt looks dirty, but that is because I washed it with brand new black shorts! It turned my white shirt grey even though it is clean. Something I hadn't experienced before or learned not to do apparently. Nothing some bleach cant fix however
@@JupiterHikes 👍
Also white shirts are waaaaay cooler in the desert =)
I recognize the rock at the top of Glen pass from this summer. I was sitting on it when a guy in a perfectly clean white collared hiking shirt came up to the summit......like a GD Eagle scout. It was pretty badass looking.
@@michaellundphotography White also attracts 50% fewer mosquitos than most other colors👍

Obligatitory Alaskan comment: Denali is the highest peak in US
I’m sure he meant the lower 48 =)
