I love how you do your videos, and it's why I've been a subscriber since you started this trip! Your experiences are so different from the other hikers I follow and it's great you're bringing us along! I'll accept however you do it.
Getting caught back up following your journey after a few days away. The Hiker Town was surreal. Looked like something out of a movie, not just a western one. And walking the aqueduct--surreal as well. A desert hike in June is no joke. Thanks for keeping it real, and sharing what the risks are in crossing the desert.
I'm really enjoying your late-season start on the PCT for a different perspective. I am looking forward to going back to see the AT leg of your trek.You clearly have dialed in your travel more than most travelers. Go going!
Enjoying the journey. You're really kicking butt, as I have my suspicions as to where you really might be, but I'm only guessing. You are definitely one of the most interesting people I've followed on UA-cam in a long time.
Thank you for sharing your journey. What you’re doing is amazing and courageous. Your thoughtful expressions on what you see and experience is appreciated. Your explanation of the logistics you face to accomplish your goal was nice to hear. Thanks for sharing it. Your appreciation for the little things you experience is nice to see/hear. Your appreciation for Kenny was so well explained to not being judgmental for one’s politics but rather for the person they are and what they offer. What you are doing is, again, amazing. You are to be admired. Keep it up and thanks again.
Looks dang hot! Glad you're still going strong. Way to catch the tail of the class of '24! I have no doubt you will accomplish your goals. Your thought process and determination will get you there. Love the way you empathize with the animals. When it comes down to it, all they want to do is live in peace. Humans could learn a thing or two from them, if they would take time to listen. Keep smilin' and stay cool. 😎 💜
Great video and so glad that you explained your method of hiking(in relation to all aspects of your daily activities)to get to your goal. Sometimes ,unless you are the individual who is actually hiking this hike,its hard for others to comprehend your way of doing things. I just got into the world of hiking/backpacking in the last few years and I've noticed that for every adventure I'm on ,I'm always getting "you should", "why don't you ". Believe me, I have my reasons for my way. Your a great thinker and good at strategy. Watching your videos on the Arizona trail, all through the AT and now PCT, you have taught me a few things along the way, so thank you so much! Cheering you on all the way!!!
You have thoroughly thought and planned this hike through. You use wisdom in making right choices for yourself. I respect your abilities and your hike. "Hike your own hike" and you are.
Thank you for discussing logistics. I am a, comparatively, slow hiker; however, efficiency in town stops is underrated and underapreciated. It reminds me of an article written about a champion triathalete who was doing his first Iron Man and reflected on how slow Iron level athletes would transition between events and take so much time in a place where all you are doing is losing time over your next event. Of course, people hike for different reasons and in different ways, and I appreciate the insights that you are offering.
The desert is so beautiful seen from home! So many amazing sun sets and sunrises! The people who comment on what food you should carry or how fast you should go have never hiked themselves. Just ignore. They won't understand until they hike themselves. Or should I sorry for my emergency blanket tip? They are very lightweight and you can use them against heat and cold and you can collect water with them. I find mattresses too bulky, too heavy to carry and they never compensate for their day time discomfirt with enough comfort at night. So most of the time an emergency blanket is my mattress. It keeps dirt away and reflects the body heat. Which means I always have one with me to use against heat. Do take heat exhaustion and heat stroke ( or thirst or hubger) too lightly. Tge danger is not the actual heat stroke (thirst,hunger), the problem is that the brain starts to shut down which make you make very poor decissions which lead to death. Happens way too often where I like to hike. Anyway, you're probably far north by now. Rather than complain I would say I'm extremely impressed by your ability to record, edit and upload videos when you are in electricity and wifiless wildreness all the time. I love watching your videos.
Interesting video. Having hiked the PCT myself with time constraints (6 months Visa to the US) I think I understand your priorities quite well. A 6 months limit is nothing (or rather a lot) compared to what you need to do, but I came straight from the office and had to start really slow and it was also a high snow level year. Which meant that for the two last months of the hike I needed to average 25+ mile days and more meant a larger safety margin for my return flight. I strived for the elusive (for me) 200 mile week, but never made it. Would have except for town stops that are so difficult to get done quickly. I didn't have video uploads or charging to worry about, but on the other hand no GPS, almost no hostels and no cell phone to organize pick ups with trail angels etc. Which meant that I was very careful with where to resupply. I'm not too into planning but tried to look at options a couple of days ahead. If I could avoid a hitchhike (or get away with a shorter one) by carrying food for an extra day or two I'd do that. Also, if resupplying on a "weak" store saved time I'd do that and manage on whatever they sold. For example in the Sierras (almost no snow when I was there because of a flip-flop) I did VVR to KM south in one go by skipping Mt. Whitney (got a snow storm that day anyway) and carrying 9-10 days of food which saved a lot of time.
Great video. Love your relaxed attitude with the animals. Lots of people get worked up over insects and animals. Come CDT for you, do beware of the Grizzlies. Some could care less. Some can get irritated and if surprised ( that’s easier than one might think ) it may take a bad turn. I just took a CDT hiker to the trailhead here in Ennis, MT…..He utilized the Big Sky cutoff. (You probably will not ). He did say he came within about 50 yards of one, it stood up and checked him out them scampered off. Good encounter, though too close. Future thoughts …… As an AT hiker, I’m NOT loving the vids and descriptions of the PCT - southern portion. Your videos are a great documentary of the current trail❤for those of us who have not been.
The ones that actually “do” the hiking already know the reality and everyone is different. I truly hope you aren’t getting a negative out put from your followers. I’m sure they are only offering advice with care for you. keep your head on the goal, take care of yourself and thank you for your videos. 🤘🏻
It would smell really bad. I don't think it would stop Jaru, though. Triple crowners usually smell pretty strong themselves, even without the skunk spray.
I wouldn’t walk 3 blocks home with a can of beans because I don’t want to carry the weight. Never mind 30 miles;) they just need to go out and hike more:)

Every time I see one of your videos I feel amazed that you are videoing while attempting a calendar year triple crown. Are you doing it for documentation purposes? Otherwise it feels like it could only make your day to day harder. Not a criticism. Just trying to understand. I'm glad for the videos as I am very much enjoying them.
He's 35 days past the time this video was recorded (June 25), so should be near the CA/OR border (so the question should be past tense, but the answer is probably "tune in to find out").

It's almost impossible to hike 30 miles a day, every day, for months, without losing weight.
