THIS is what's so great about the hiking community. Someone who you just met needs help? Easy, everybody carries his stuff and hikes with him to get him out.
Yesterday - giving another hiker a pair of shoes. Today - Team Rescue. WOW. You and your trail family are true trail angels. What's next? Fighting off bears and mountain lions. Julianne and tramily examples of how the trail provides. Ya'll are doing great. How nice that you found a place for everyone to stay and that the owner just left you there. Glad you're out of the storm. I like the name for Whitney. Great views. The PCT is really a beautiful trail. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care of yourself. Try not to fall again. I'm sure I wasn't the only one you scared when your camera went catiwampus all of a sudden. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Great example of the hiking community looking out for each other. Team rescue does what ever it takes to help a fellow hiker. And the reward turns out to have another trail angel come to the rescue with warm, dry accommodations! 👍😜
My sister does search and rescue in this area and she says she loves the PCT hikers! She said they always have so much support and the calls are always safer and more organized. ❤❤
🚶♀️👟👟⛺ the trail community is so awesome taking care of one another and looking out for each other if only the real world was like that we would live in a great place Doug wishing you a speedy recovery and roadrunner I say it again you're awesome 💯♥️
Sounds like a great trail name for Whitney! Aww so sweet. I am so glad you were able to help the injured hiker and glad to hear that help came quickly after contacting them. Hope he is okay! The dog was so cute too! 😊
You and Lil Chap have found a wonderful group of hikers with which to travel. Never hurts to have a nurse in the group. I hope the fellow y’all helped is doing well. Thanks for doing that.
You scored staying indoors. So much fun. Apparently Cibbets Flat campground is still closed due to that military helicopter crashing. Glad I got to meet some very nice people there last year and delicious trail magic. BTW, tell your friend that she will not freeze to death in her 15 degree quilt. One year, I had a 50F quilt and a car window shade to sleep on only and it got down to 10F with windchill on the PCT and I’m still alive and kicking. It was a very long miserable night though.
You guys did great with the rescue, especially Doug getting his ambulatory self out of the wilderness😊 without further incident. Self rescue is always the best rescue. This is another good video, i hope you all enjoyed the snow, it was a big storm (assuming this was a week or so ago).
I believe this was last thurs, since they had booked a room for friday's storm arrival. And yeah, it had more punch than predicted; Mammoth got almost 2' of snow
@@larkangel6593 Thanks for the confirmation on -which- storm it was that hit them, California has had too many storms in a row this year for me to remember the size or effects for each. At least California will have plenty of water this summer!
WOW. Such a different vibe from the store across the road, when I went thru ~10 March. That old store opposite was the absolute worst vibe in my 15 days on trail. I seem to recall the owners did similar years ago for a tramily. It was closed when two of us came through but we woulda been in there had they been open.
You got to meet some of our amazing Calfire here. They are the only statewide wildfire fighting company in the US. They are amazing. (twice they have stopped fires coming towards my house)
What was the injury of the hiker? Dispatch is wonderful. I love your attitude about talking to people ( I remember the video you wrote about that being a goal! Way to go!
I do hope Doug is ok now and is able to get back out on trail, and that if he went to hospital they let him bring in his dog. ❤ It's amazing how you all took care of him 😊 his dog is very well behaved. What a great spot tonstay for the night! The owner is so trusting amd generous to let you stay on the honour system. The man who was sitting next to you with the glasses and curly hair looks like a friend of mine! Weirdness 😂
@@larkangel6593 Maybe he was just taking his dog for a few early sections. But if you read any discussion of the PCT, dogs just aren't allowed in most places and it's cruel to the dogs even if you ignore the law. It's just bad all around.
@@SkepticalRaptorbut he had a full pack ... I love taking our dogs on days hikes, especially in the forest service areas outside the parks Still, 5+ miles and they show it
@@SkepticalRaptorthere's weirdos and newbies in every activity, but they're usually quickly eliminated I think section A might have the highest drop out rate - people get out there thinking it's cool or whatever and quickly realize it's actually hard, sweaty and exhausting At that point they quickly conclude it's not for them and bail out. If not morena/Boulder, then definitely laguna, especially if a spring snow storm comes in after struggling through the desert But that poor dog didn't have a choice - it seemed older, a bit out of shape and long haired I run into a guy now and then that has a young German pointer - that dog needs 5 miles per day. But it would be pressed to do 10, and of course could never do 20, much less every day
Why did you call 911 instead of pushing your SOS button? The SOS is better. They will coordinate everything for you. That's what you pay them for. 911 is not even that good. The California 911 just let some woman die out in the desert when her car got stuck, even though she told them the correct GPS coordinance. That won't happen with SOS. 👍
And they got Cal Fire - notice how the dudes weren't tacted out in battle gear? And yeah, I felt more sorry for the poor dog taken out there by an out of shape hiker

@ Whitney: Please never take the name "Teabag".

Awesome how all the hikers pulled together to help the injured hiker carry his gear. Love the trail name, Dispatch! You all Rock! Hike~~On~~>
Way to go “Team Rescue!” ❤
I’d love to be part of y’all’s group. I’m enjoying being a part of it just watching. Great fun and support for each other.
Well done you guys! Always sad to see a hiker get injured. I am happy for his dog, though. Thanks for the video!
Great video!! ❤ Also - love your faith! ❤
Whitney’s fire red hair “ like my wife” FIREBALL!!! 🎉
Thats amazing! Hikers supporting hikers ❤ true sense of community!
probably the best results for the dog. happy you all helped
I think "Dispatch" is by far the best trail name origin story of any i have heard. FOr sure a proud one to have
Great job to all the hikers sticking together and helping a fellow hiker.
I'm guessing you are unaware of the euphemistic meaning of "tea bag"...it would be an interesting trail name, that's for sure.
Y’all are doing awesome.
Thanks. You are so delightful to watch.
Only 3 days in and it's already quite the adventure!
🚶♀️👟👟⛺ the trail community is so awesome taking care of one another and looking out for each other if only the real world was like that we would live in a great place Doug wishing you a speedy recovery and roadrunner I say it again you're awesome 💯♥️
What great Cafe owners to do that for you...

Wow what a team. Love her trail name,, dispatch... exciting day...for all.. very sweet of you to take the dog😊😊.. Blessings and safe trails..

It takes a village!!! You all are awesome and amazing ambassadors / role models for all trail hikers ❤
Wow. You guys are amazing and looks like the beginning of a tramily to me. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️
Great job everyone! The picture of everyone by the Border Patrol is a real keeper. Thank God for dedicated people like them and SAR.
Glade so many people pitched it to help him. Wonderful

Well your group is a good group to be with if you plan on getting evacuated for sure. Was nice to see everyone doing something

I have a suggestion for Whitney's trail name, can we please call her "MT Whitney" 🙂, Hi Whitney and all your tramily!!!! Hi everyone happy trails
New subscriber here 😊. A great community there😊. The dog already won our hearts😊😊
Way to go, Team Rescue and Dispatch. Hope Doug gets well soon.
I'm really enjoying watching you hike - reminiscing of my failed 2019 attempt. That was very nice of the Pine Tavern to let you all crash there!
It was such an awesome place
This is the way hiking is supposed to be. Helping each other when there is a need.

Dispatch..Cool trail name 😎👍🏼
I'm surprised they didn't put snakes on that sign. Seems like that's one of the biggest dangers on the PCT.
I do hope Doug is ok now and is able to get back out on trail, and that if he went to hospital they let him bring in his dog. ❤ It's amazing how you all took care of him 😊 his dog is very well behaved.
What a great spot tonstay for the night! The owner is so trusting amd generous to let you stay on the honour system.

Surprised at the lack of snow on/near Mt. Laguna.
Loved the video!
Amazing sound guy's.
What card game are you playing at the end?
Hiker community rocks..
You go this!!! hello from south Fl.... :)
Your group name can now be "The First Aid Squad" 😂
How sweet.....!
What a great vid...you guys are fun...I'm gonna find that cafe...very kewl....
don't call someone a trail name they deny
Wondering if you've seen any ticks yet...🤔
Looks like you have a tramily!
Why would someone bring a dog on the PCT? Most of the PCT doesn’t allow dogs. And it’s hard on the poor dog.
yep, even the strongest dogs are pressed to do 10. Humans are easily geared for 30s if need be
@@larkangel6593 Maybe he was just taking his dog for a few early sections. But if you read any discussion of the PCT, dogs just aren't allowed in most places and it's cruel to the dogs even if you ignore the law. It's just bad all around.

I love taking our dogs on days hikes, especially in the forest service areas outside the parks
Still, 5+ miles and they show it
@@larkangel6593 I'm highly critical of people thinking that they can bring dogs on the PCT. It appalls me as a dog lover.

The Lodge is a dump with rude help. You were better off sleeping in the restaurant.
I agree with little chap That was a terrible name dispatch is a much better name
Hold on, chap named her teabag and dispatch
call whitney, mtn lion....
Why bring a dog? So many reason not too.. injury, food water, lost.. other animals. I believe it not a cool thing to do.
Why did you call 911 instead of pushing your SOS button? The SOS is better. They will coordinate everything for you. That's what you pay them for. 911 is not even that good. The California 911 just let some woman die out in the desert when her car got stuck, even though she told them the correct GPS coordinance. That won't happen with SOS. 👍
Border Patrol?
You called border patrol for an injured dog? Sounds appropriate 🤦
lol you paid such great attention to my video. Good job
And they got Cal Fire - notice how the dudes weren't tacted out in battle gear? And yeah, I felt more sorry for the poor dog taken out there by an out of shape hiker
@@hikingdancer I guess if it were an interesting video I would have paid more attention to it…
@@larkangel6593 true
Roadrunner you did great helping that hiker and his puppers!. Don't listen to the trolls that probably have never even stepped foot on the PCT before😜
Enjoyed it up to the “Jesus will provide” bit. Tapping out. Not here to hear about Jesus.
Glad y’all were able to help him off trail!🥾🥾😎🏕️
Camping equipment is pretty lt wt & handy if u accidentally need it !, 🐾💝🏕
