Hey bro, just watched. Thank you for the shout-out. I had to get off just before KMN about 3 weeks ago. Worked through the cardio issues, but I injured my foot. Have really bad tendinitis and still haven't healed. Keep on hiking strong and tell Bigfoot I said "what's up" Gonna hopefully give it another go next season. Keep in touch
I love that you guys are taking the time to jump into a lake. Safe hiking and savor every step. ❤
Definitely gotta give the old body a rest. That sunset looked pretty cool with the tents
Keep posting the Zeros and Town days, Frozen. They are all part of the journey, and seeing where you resupply, and downtime helps other who are planning.
You know…. I think that is the first time you’ve ever told that story on the leg scars. I’ve seen them and have always wondered if you had a repair. Glad you’re managing and wishing you some success in healing. You got this!!!
Your mountain lake swim is an inspiration! Keep it up!!
Tumeric can also help w treating pain. I also had softening of the underside of my knee cap- overuse from running…I was in an intense training program for work and made it through fine….pain and all. Mindfulness for now…I hope it doesnt bog you down too much. Such beautiful landscapes and love your videos! 😋🥾🥾⛺️😎
needs to keep the fish oil too and take two caps along with the Glucosamine
That forest at 12:50 is fabulous. Love the music choice for your afternoon montage there. 20:11 Beautiful camping spot! Great video. Press on, buds.
I’ve been guilty of this myself but your pain is from too many miles plain and simple. I have a thick skull and it took me a while to truly understand that. Once I dialed it down, the pain and injuries disappeared. You probably get tired of hearing this but it’s really that simple. Your injury rate is consistently exceeding your repair rate.
Plus he's lost weight which means there's not enough energy to heal up .
Frozen, Enjoying your journey. Pseudo-retired Sports Med Chiro here. Last stretch you show-draw large circles with knees while still holding ankle to buttock. Both directions (start knee forward and make circle; start knee backward and make circle) Great little-known ITB stretch that's helped a LOT of mystery/undiagnosed knee discomfort for patients in my past. Can also do while lying on the floor on your side. Hope that helps! (Vic: PCT Class of '26!)
Thanks. I'll try that. I've a left knee that locks like IT band is catching on something. I have to straighten leg very slowly and then something pops and frees up the patella and I can walk normally again 🤷🏼♂️
@TxFrozensAdventures-w2z
Testing.
Reply about knee/ITB stretch?
the zero days in town are definately part of your adventure and we appreciate you sharing...
Hey Frozen, my mom told me she gave you a ride in Chester and you were concerned about finishing on your schedule. Just wanted to say that you’re already killing it for where you’re at and Oregon is gonna fly by. OR/WA are both pretty easy to manage consistent 25+ mile days and there isn’t too many vortexes. I’m confident you’ll finish with time to spare!! Have fun and stay safe!
That lake swim looked so refreshing! Continued safe travels.
Man I'm going through the hardest time in my life right now, and watching the vids really help me. So inspiring. I'm not sure if im ever going to be ok, but im hoping its just a bunch of mental snow traverse like you did and when i reach my northern terminus i can look back and say i made it. Keep it up man.
I have been following your adventures, thanks so much for sharing!
It looks like the Zero did you a lot of good! It is amazing how the little things can change ones outlook. Life is so amazing, and a trip to the natural world does so much to recenter us.
Safe travels! Enjoy your trip!
Life is better when you navigate outdoors!
I heard the cold water is good for your body when you are pushing it to the limits. Happy yall got to have a swim after the zero reset!
When I first started hiking I had knee problems going downhill. It was very ouchy until I visited the dr & he administered a cortisone injection under the knee bone. Many kms/mi & years, later no pain. Yes. Exercise like you’re doing is definitely going to keep those annoying joints flexible.
I could hardly believe me eyes spying that snow especially since you said there wouldn’t be any. Great walk! Thx for the scenery.
Make sure you have a mosquito net when you go through lassen!! Used to work there as a forester and fire fighter. The mosquitos there make Minnesota look like a rich summer camp!
Man this was the best video so far on the trek. Keep kicking butt!
Keep on hiking! Love these videos.
Love the videos. Have not missed a single one since PCT and I watched you finish the AT.
Awesome work !
You have a good mataintance routine Jason. You need to get your mental thinking to stop messing with you. Enjoy the moment to moment hike. Keep an eye on your weight loss you may need to add some good fats into and more protein. Take care I hope you don't mind the advice it is made with good intentions.❤
I sure hope your foot and knees feel better for the rest of your long hike. You're doing great! I haven't commented very much, but I'm watching. 👍
Hey Jason, good job with todays video! At around 17:50 I could almost smell the pines. Like how you showed your daily routine with your stretching and use of the corkball. Going to have to start a regimen to see if it helps my 66 year old muscles. Want to enjoy the scenery while I'm walking. Watching you and Bigfoot is really inspiring me. Gotta laugh, you guys walk farther in 1 day than I do in 1 week!
Great stretching routine. Thanks for sharing it! I will be incorporating it. I always have issues with my knees.
You are definitely looking thin bro! Love your content. Stay safe
Loved, the country-folk instrumentals music in the video. Thank you!!!
Home! That’s mount Elwell at 12:13 - I grew up in those woods ❤
The pancakes with strawberries @ the Red Moose look like they have a face. The new bag looks great, too.
Great video Jason !!!
Glad you are in better spirits and better physical health. You and Bigfoot will be great friends for the rest of your lives after the end of this journey. Regardless of the distance between you!
Around 500 miles through the Sierra's in a month? Dang. That's excellent for a non mountaineer. No way I could handle that much snow.
1200 miles,outstanding!!! Glad you were able to rest for a day and talk with your family. I found it interesting all the stretching and use of the ball you used for your muscles. Thanks for another great video!! 😊
Thank you!
Amazing days Amazing hike Keep up the positive attitude, keep up the pushing go frozen and Bigfoot
Good move adding the glucosamine. Hope it helps.
Seems like 9 is about the right age to get hit by a car🤔, amazing what our little bodies can recover from! Enjoying the entertainment of your journey!
Soleus stretch is important, It cured my plantar fascitis and definitely helped with knee pain.
Sure hope the pain diminishes
Go!
RE knee discomfort: I am a supination. When my shoe heal get really worn on the rear outboard side I get knee discomfort. Getting new shoe selves it for me.
With you uploading the vids 2 weeks late, I can only imagine you by now, are past Lassen NP. I was there (driving wise) last SEP and I was amazed at the fire damage from the Dixie fire. The miles clicking off per day should be getting you closer to the state line as well. Keep stretching and listening to your body and before you know it, you will be at the US/CAN border. Just wish I was there too but who knows what next year will bring ? Also, I am concerned for you two as well as the others as I see the temp's out in that area are in the 100's already. Stay safe and keep the eyes/ears open - good luck !
You could try Supple drink mix for your knee
Omega 3 is good for inflammation. I use a street hockey ball to roll my feet out.
Hi Frozen want to say hi and ask if those pancakes are they better than mine. LOL keep your head up can’t wait to see Canada.
Wow the trail sure has overgrown outside sierra city. I saw quite a few rattlers up there during my hikes. Project more positive thoughts, see success and try to slow down a bit so you can heal. The attrition rate is NORMAL. Keep up the stretching and self care, load up on animal fats when you can and you’ll be fine.
Arnica gel is excellent for many pains. Might work well on your knee too. It works great on mine. Arnica homeopathic sublingual tabs are great too. I use them both at the same time.
Hey , I have noticed that you really pronate bad with the left foot. I would try some really good arch supports on both feet. Custom orthopedic arch would be best. That left foot really rolls in on every foot plant. Good luck!
Isnt your bear bag a little close to camp ? I have seen 100 ft minimum and up to 200 ft recommended.
Yup it's way too close. But it was a stealth site that isn't frequented and not close to water. Most are sleeping with their food.
Great Day of hiking .. How was the heat?
I might have missed it, do you recommend switching out sleeping bags after Kennedy Meadows North? Going from 20 degree quilt to 35-40 quilt? Or can you stay with a 20 full through hike. Thanks in advance for your input
Give the glucosamine a couple weeks!
Hey Frozen, I hope you're enjoying your thru-hike. I've heard (at-least in the cycling community) that iron supplements can be dangerous if you don't have an iron deficiency (which, I think is usually determined via a blood test). Are you finding it difficult to get enough iron from your food re-supplies? Really curious what food thru-hikers turn to for their daily dose of iron (But I imagine most don't think about it until its too late!).
In the future you should turn the volume down on the tv when you’re talking. Hard to hear you and distracting. Besides that great information! Loved Sierra City when I went through.. Marmalade
That wasn't a zero.
Did you even watch the video?
You had said before there was a delay of several days when releasing the videos, is there anyway to know where you are now?
How long does it take to do your stretching? Enjoy watching! That care and be safe!
A few minutes every 2 hours
Do you take naps on your zero days?
