    It's your channel and your hike. Please video what you want. If folks don't want to see a particular part of a video (town), then they can skip over it. I am among the many that just appreciate you bringing us all along on this journey and whatever you can share with us.

    • @JamesGolden-co5ox
      @JamesGolden-co5ox 14 днів тому

      I prefer the videos showing the hike to the towns, but it is absolutely Frozen's video, so he definitely should do whatever he likes.

    @DaleSmith836 14 днів тому +19

    for those of us living vicariously, we appreciate all the details. Hiking, camp setup/teardown, deep thoughts, happiness, tears, anger... and town day chores. We'll take whatever you can provide. Thanks for taking us along!

  • @WarDamnEagle4
    @WarDamnEagle4 14 днів тому +19

    I agree with the comments I’ve seen - film what you’d like to! It’s your experience and hike - make the videos something you’ll want to watch back. I think it’s giving us all a good idea of the PCT.

    Frozen, it's your hike. Film whatever you feel like. I enjoy it all! I do like seeing you all eating town food for some strange reason. 😂 I like your talks with Bigfoot a lot! He seems like such a good dude! Hey Bigfoot....

  • @jasons.9389
    @jasons.9389 14 днів тому +3

    Took my 4 year old to Raccoon State Park today for some beach fun. We then walked to the mineral spring. He was so funny pretending to be Frozen on a hike in the woods! He wants to go on adventures just like you. Keep up the great work, you never know who you're inspiring!

  • @davidschmude
    @davidschmude 13 днів тому +1

    I’m just happy you’ve found someone to hike with that isn’t afraid to be on camera and offers his insights and opinions. Film what you want to film. This is your journey. If people want to see other stuff, they can hike the trail and record their own hike.

  • @nalonabrato8900
    @nalonabrato8900 14 днів тому +1

    I suppose wanting or not wanting to see towns is based on why people are following your PCT thru hike. For anyone thinking about or planning to do so themselves, knowing more about what’s available (especially resupply and outfitter locations) and where is invaluable. I enjoy seeing as many aspects of thru hiking as possible, and I’m not even physically capable (I need a double lung transplant due to a genetic condition) of backpacking, so I love following UA-camrs who can. Vicariously hiking through others. It’s fabulous!

  • @Lewman211
    @Lewman211 14 днів тому +6

    HI Jason! The videos you are sending out are absolutely amazing. The views are beyond incredible, and the camera i know does not do the views justice, but it gives us here in Virginia an idea of what it's like where you are. I agree with the other folks in the comments, this is your channel, and your videos, and you film what you want to or what you feel like.The 'Coffee & Pancakes' sounds like a great way to start the day. Please be extremely careful on those 'sketchy snow bank areas' especially on the steeper sections. Tell Bigfoot hello, and you guys stay safe, and take care! 🙂Happy Hiking!

  • @TheBillp603
    @TheBillp603 14 днів тому +2

    Film what you want and take time to enjoy the days without filming. Happy trails

    I like seeing a mixture of scenes, towns and hikes, food and just relaxing at camp. Makes it a bit more interesting instead of just seeing mountains as beautiful as they are...

  • @XombieBBQ
    @XombieBBQ 14 днів тому +3

    Love hearing about your town experiences. I want to know where the good food is!!!
    Funny how you can suffer cold, wet shoes and exhaustion, but the idea of possibly making a stranger uncomfortable for a moment with a camera. 😮
    You’re a good dude. Do you.

    Film whatever you feel like, Jason. I would like to see more nature and town time though but I am grateful for all that you share.

  • @Psychoticpea
    @Psychoticpea 13 днів тому +1

    I love seeing all of what you choose to share. Reason I like the town stuff: as someone that cant hike the trails anymore I love when I can go into town to some place you have been and think to myself "hey this is where Frozen was, I am going to try their food/drinks." So yeah, I love it all.

  • @monicawarner8164
    @monicawarner8164 14 днів тому +2

    You are awesome. I am grateful for any footage you can do. I appreciate all the time and effort that you put into your videos. ... during the heat dome I hiked 5.1 miles on the Laurel Highlands hiking trail. It was quite an accomplishment with heat index of over 100 degrees, gnats, mosquitoes, humidity to beat the band and elevation gain of 1500 feet. All this sounds so small compared to your journey. Take care and enjoy yourself and wonderful sleep.

  • @andymytys
    @andymytys 14 днів тому +2

    Feel free to keep the town footage in, especially if you hit local dive bars and restaurants. I feel that these types of establishments are also a part of the Trail’s character. Unlike the AT, towns along the PCT are far apart and hikers pretty much have to stop into them for resupply, as a result. So videos can really help future hikers know what to expect.

    I will echo several of the previous comments here. It’s your trip, film what you want. As someone who has always wanted to do that hike but never had the time I am enjoying all your content. The video is honest and clean. The commentary seems raw and gives the viewer as realistic a depiction as possible. Thank you. Who knows maybe someday I can start hiking it in sections. Gorgeous country.

  • @christopherwhite8186

    @WarDamnEagle4 14 днів тому +3

    Not sure about California but the snow melts in Washington end of July around the Leavenworth area, early August in the north cascades! It’s crazy how long it stays around. I got epically lost on a portion of the PCT in 2022 in WA mid July due to snow cover - think your advice to find an easier route is solid.

    @traviskinchen2265 14 днів тому +1

    For me, no need to repeat all the normal activities in town, but it's fun to see what's interesting, different, or significant in towns, and personally I like lodging, restaurant and resupply impressions. It's all part of the adventure, as much as the scenery in the wilderness or the trail conditions.

I look forward to every hike and video, just like to see a little more added. Stay safe, loved watching since the APT, stay 💪.

I just was wondering why you didn't hammock again? I know the desert section can be difficult to find somewhere to hang for the night, but was just wondering? I may have missed it in a gear review?? Sorry to bother. Kick some butt Frozen! 1100 down!!! 🎉

    However you choose to do - or not do! - any town portions is fine. Personally, I think it's part of the journey and am all for including it in videos. If you want to show a bit of it without as much awkwardness, I think that some B-roll of meals/drinks/etc. without any live narration is perfectly fine. Maybe music or a voiceover if you want.

    Wondering if you have encountered HikingDancer in ypur travels? She seems to be pretty close to you and Bigfoot, depending on the video upload delays you both have. You 2 groups are the only 2 I'm following on the PCT. I have followed you when you 1st started putting up your hammock content long before you AT adventure.. Keep on trekking.

    Town clips are cool, especially when you share great meals & unique places, the views of the mountain ranges are spectacular.
    Q? How and when do you obtain permits, pre trail or as you reach particular areas?

    • @FrozensAdventures
      @FrozensAdventures  10 днів тому +1

      The PCT permit covers all permits up the trail, the only other one you need is the California fire permit for a stove. You can hike the PCT in it's entirety if you get the individual permits though but there's a lot of logistics involved in that. Some even require visits to off trail ranger stations.

  • @frstesiste7670
    @frstesiste7670 14 днів тому +2

    I like to see video from towns. Some of it is interesting to me some not. It's easy enough to skip parts that's not interesting to me and it might be of interest to others. Can't see why it should bother anyone.

    We appreciate not seeing your zero/town days. We like to see scenery. That being said, film what works for you.

    You should be reading Kerouac while in Desolation Wilderness. Him and ole Japhy. Don't film town.

    You do you, filmning wise. No point as i see it in pushing you to do some thing you not comfortable with. You doing just fine. Cant make every one happy. Cliche done.

    I hike and backpack to get away from people and towns, so not much interest there. Film whatever you like.
