The weirdest thing is that I was following Sam and Moriah as well as you and one other PCT hiker. Now the two coolest 2022 PCT channels are hiking together!
You guys gambled and won on your early March start.
Search perfect conditions for May. A normal snow year might have been impossible. (This is what it's like in mid June. Big snow year would be mid July.)
Now you'll probably miss any fires and get done by labor day, also missing any early storms up north.
You'll look back and laugh about how you scored big time. A charmed dream trip.
You can enclose your pack in a contractor bag trapping air in it then float it across, or take a pair of pants, wet it, tie off the legs, slam the waist side into the water to trap air in the legs, tie the waist off, tie the whole impermanent "balloon" thing to your pack and tire it across. You could also use a log as a raft for your backpack as it only weighs 20-30 lbs. There's also making a commando bridge and having one person cross and pull everyone's equipment across it, but hikers don't generally carry that much rope.
Those crossings look daunting!! You guys are doing great! Thank you for sharing! 😍
Loved the 1000 mile jig! You have such a positive attitude. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
wow good job with that river crossing, very creative.
Love the sound effects! Lol 😂 nature baby! Awesome guys!
What beautiful places your in, Julia. It’s incredible to see all fauna and balance,..
Wow. That stretch looked scary with all those river crossings. 😱. Hope everyone’s feet are holding up. 👍. Congrats on One Thousand miles! 🎉. Amazing.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🏕
so much snow, and it has been in the 70's-90's here in the Midwest for weeks. you 'r all doing amazing!
It is barely June. She should be walking on a 20’ pack.
You’re almost to Oregon. Keep hiking 🥾. Congratulations 🎊🍾🎈🎉 on 1k. Another 2k to go. Yeehaw 🤠!
Congrats on 1000 miles!
Wow…good for you that your crossing were not too death defying! Stay safe! Wish I had some snow back east! 😂😎
Thanks for sharing! Well done! 🥾🥾🌺
Wet, moist, saturated...
All the adjectives one doesn't want in a through hike... Best wishes Rocket & crew.
🦜😎🦜
I can’t believe all the snow. All the river and my state is still saying we don’t have enough water. Love you guys California Joanna.
Already all dust, tinder, and on fire here in the mid-coast!
It's not a lot of snow in the central-north Sierra range, it's just been very slow to melt because the Spring has been unusually cool. We're not hearing about flooding rivers or dam releases because the water is minimal.
It isn't that much snow for the season. This is May for them, and it looks like July in higher snow years. Tahoe recorded 2 inches of snowpack, when normally they get 5 feet. They've mentioned already that the reason they were able to go through so quickly is the lack of snow.
Congratulations on 1000 miles 👏🏼👏🏼
I did a lot of rock work on seavey pass never sea kerik creek that hi. The other one is Rancheria. Dixie and company ended up swimming across. We called that stumble field canyon it's actually stumbled field our name probably more accurate.
Good stuff.
Congrats on 1000! (Tho I know you are by now at the midpoint) nothing I hate worse than bone chilling wet cold. Those river crossings can be brutal but you did it! No more crossing like that after the sierras are done. There are some crossings in OR and WA but they are minimal. Thanks for posting
Nice
Send some of that water down here to the desert lol ~ Fortune
there are some mtb innertube patches made by slime that work extremely well for air patches.
Yup Northern Yosemite is brutal!
That 1000m celebration :)
That was a cool shot at 55 secs. Thought you had a drone for a second
So, your feet where WET. lol. Sorry about the mattress. Yippee 1000 miles. Keep trekking. 😀
Lastest forecast, next weekend it's predicted to be 100+ here in NorCal. Faster snow melt. Too bad there's no rope or real Paracord stretched a good place to cross. You could slide your packs across with a caribeaner. If you see Bigfoot, he answers by the name of Daryl. I've had him in camp for coffee, quite the character.
Are you all in Chester? I live here in town and was hoping to buy you and your friends some lunch if you were going to nero or zero here. Anyway, it's been fun following your vlog so far. My friend and I are heading SOBO starting where he left off last year at Callahan's Lodge in OR. Fires closed all of CA last year so he wants to finish. I decided to tag along. You'll most likely be past Callahan's by the time we start on 6/28. Happy hiking!
Great job thanks be safe. ✌🏻👊
Julia, you are in remarkably high spirits for the challenges you are currently facing on your hike. Constantly slogging through water, frozen or liquid, doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Was that a Sasquatch farting near your tent in the dark at the end of day 62? 🙊
Hey Rocket! I love watching your channel! Curious why you bring a foam pad and neolite pad? I mean thank goodness you did with all the valve/popping issues, but curious why you initially carried both?
You know I could careless what shoe is on my foot, but yea, waterproof socks on snow and slop
A lot of snow and water but no mosquitoes? If so you timed it well because they get really bad up there.
I can't even image what people are going to be dealing with when they come thru in the next few months.
Fire.
I've often thought that you could inflate your sleeping pad and float your pack on it as you swim and tow it. Never tried it but I've floated my 160 lb ass on a pool float without issue. Sleeping pads are really similar to pool floats. Someone should try it!
I use Therm-A-Rest pads as floats on lakes all the time. 200 lbs, no problem, even on a shorty pad.
Taking your socks off and insoles out of you shoes while crossing will make your shoes dry way faster. 😀👊
I’ve got Therm-A-Rest pads that are over 20 years old without any issues. Ultralight, ProLite, NeoAir, etc. The old valve design was never a problem. Not sure why they just don’t go back to it.
Especially for NeoAir type pads, where there is no internal pressure trying to force air out as you inflate it... there’s no need for a valve that supports one-way inflation.
Did u ever feel sick from the lack of warmth out there
What a woman 😍
This is not a trail, this is extreme bushwhacking.
Route finding for sure!!
I don't understand why thru-hikers keep using the NeoAir when everyone seems to have problems with the valve leaking.
The valve didnt have any issue until they changed the design recently. We didnt know we would have issues until now! And its the most lightweight for the R-value
What kinda of radio do you have? I need one to be able to send messages when hiking out in Yosemite
Garmin inReach Mini. Current version 2 new is $400, but you can get a lower cost on an earlier version on eBay, if you dare
@@blueboats7530 The previous version works perfectly fine.
He sleeps on air u sleep on foam?... Wtf even
