"Rather safe than on the news" for sure! Safe travels to you and Bigfoot.
Sometimes w your hood up in certain light from your camera, you look like one of the Knights who say Ni from Monty Python! Keep it up you guys are awesome!
Seriously heart throbbing creek crossings as well as body numbing. You and Bigfoot are making pct look easy. Thoroughly enjoying your adventure
Frozen! I wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to have my own adventure! I have always wanted to through hike and your videos have helped to give me the confidence to take the leap. In 1 hour I will be on the Cranberry Lake 50 for 4 days. Thank you!
Definitely a lot of beauty there with the challenges with the snow. Love all the streams! Hope Anthony’s problems get better.
Interesting takes from different east coast peeps thinking they would prefer a later season Sierra hike.
Experienced aficionados specifically target May/June *because of the snow* and weather conditions.
(For example, you're most likely not even fully appreciating the super blue sky, dark granite and white, assuming that's just how it is.
Um no, that's what it looks like in May/June, then late Sept/early Oct.)
I don't even bother with late July through August. First, there's the monsoon rainstorms (torrential downpour for days with 0 views), then the fires and smoke, and lastly, there's a reason it's called the 'JMT highway'.
Bullfrog and Tuolumne south of bridge are still closed to camping, no? How about boyscout jamboree crowds at TI lake?
If you guys are around Mammoth, I'd highly recommend considering that you truly scored the best dates to fully appreciate the rest of your hike
Literally has become my daily ritual!! Keep feeling brother! Don’t give up and push on to that Canadian border!
Krysta Norwich on UA-cam filmed her SoBo last year starting in late July. I’ve decided from all the videos I’ve watched - I’d want your dates for NoBo and her dates for SoBo. Definitely not in reverse. And wouldn’t want to have any later nobo or any earlier SoBo.
I think I’ve learned there is no perfect timing overall. Fire season happens along the entire route in the summer, usually way worse in California in mid summer. Oregon fires are pretty unpredictable and it seems no matter what direction you’ll be in their prime season. I live in WA and much of the PCT in the mountains is completely covered with snow until late July. You’ll be hitting the beautiful autumn weather in the PNW which is unparalleled (said with a bias, of course).
So pros and cons to both. Like you said, impossible to know snow wise what to expect in the sierras. Impossible to guess Oregon summer fires. WA is very wet early summer and dry late summer into October. Too hard to know for certain !
Hi Frozen I just discovered your channel. Thank you for your fantastic videos. Loved watching you on the Superior Hiking trail and now the Pacific Trail. Safe travels and thanks again.
LIFES A GARDEN...DIG IT!
I noticed that you're showing less of the amazing and incredible views (that ohh ahh moments you've shown before). Instead it's become the plodding urgency of the trail. But, I'm still enjoying as such.
You will be happy you started the Sierra early once summer and fire season is in full swing. You want to get north as quickly as possible because it's not a matter of if, but when fire closures happen
Congratulations on how far you've come, the conditions you've traversed and the progress you've made!!! Just so proud of you! My only word of warning is that the mosquitoes can be fierce in the Oregon forests. I've seen some hikers wear mosquitoes or bug suits and I think it helps but you might want to check around. Oregon is worth it though. BTW I'm still treasuring your vlogs!! Keep up the good work, Frozen. 🙏❤😀
All I need to know is CDT triple crowner when hmmmm when
Poor Bigfoot is wearing chaps now with that split in his pants! LOL
at 13:22 Bigfoot looks like one of the Ents out of Lord of the Rings when they flooded Isengard.
Thank you!
Beautiful view to eat the Ramen. Nice!!!
So happy that you have a great partner with you to enjoy your hike. Much props to Bigfoot.
Why aren't you eating the freeze dried meals the company provided?
I look forward to your videos.
All the best.
Stay safe
Keeping food small until after the bear cannister.gors away. You will see in a few weeks.
Do the best you can with the 10% you can control. The ups and downs are natural with the 90% we have no control over except of course how we respond to that 90%. Doing great and before you know it you’ll be done with those risky passes! 👍🙏
Thoroughly enjoying your PCT videos! Keep it up frozen! No matter the outcome with your timeline you’re doing an amazing job!
You guys are doing great! Be safe!
Really good to hear you Frozen! You sound awesome! I was getting excited when you mentioned the questions in the comments… I thought you were gonna mention the annoying sub that keeps asking me when I’m bringing the hammock back😂😂. Good stuff!
Just take your time and enjoy it! Be safe! Your attitude is phenomenal! Both you and Bigfoot! Take this thing one day at a time.
Peace
Trailbros keep pushing guys I'm enjoying this video Canada is calling the views are breathtaking 😍
Geez. Looked like unleaded Gas was $5.29 at that shell. 😮$$$$$
You and Bigfoot's journey on the PCT is so inspiring. Love watching your videos. I hope you get to Canada
This was my dream hike of hikes in 2020. A big disaster happened which left me unable to walk for 4 months. By then I’d gone off the boil! Now I’ll watch you guys going greener with every step you take.
Grass is greener. SoBos start in snow in the northern Cascades in much more remote and difficult terrain, and then it's a race to get through the Sierra before it gets snowed in. And bear in mind that California wildfire season is typically July - October.
Love the videos…wishing you continued success! 🥾🥾⛺️😎
I couldn't believe the gas prices at 0:36 . Over $5 a gallon. That's California for you 😢. Over $2 / gal cheaper here in Georgia.
My jaw dropped as well here in TX!
Your doing awesome man!!!!
Wow , Ty what an awesome section of trail. I hope you slow dwn , in Oregon , at your rate blaze thru oregon weeks b4 pct trail days. 6 weeks to do WA 12 mile days in summer .
I've wondered about PCT southbound; start once snow clears from Cascades in early July, get through Sierras before snow flies in October(?) and then desert section in early winter. However, realize 80% do it NOBO so there must be a reason beyond tradition. But easier logistic wise due to spring work projects and fact I live in Seattle. (Feel free to reply to this channel when you approach I-90 if you need to come into Seattle for a zero.)
I think the concern is the fires after a July start.
i know you wanted to make it farther but i am so happy you get to go over Kearsarge Twice! such a beautiful area, glad you spent a little longer in it...Glen Pass!! so awesome.. man it makes me happy to see you out here. Southbound is tricky But if timed right it does work out. Neemor has a great set of videos, i got to meet him at sonora pass on his way south one year. We had so many drought years snow was a non issue but yeah if snow is present i think you are right south is simpler. 800 awesome miles, thanks so much for taking us with you /"wanna go to Canada?" hahaha /awesome.
Dude bigfoot's pants have a split in them.
Go!
love your videos man! and your buddy Bigfoot seems like such a cool guy. So, why do you think southbound is maybe better? I'm considering doing the PCT in the future.
Believe me by the time you hit Washington you’ll be sick of ALL backpacking food. I switched it up to real food as much as I could after a certain point cause it lifts your spirits. Even if it is heavier.
At 17:15 looks like you were in the Monty Python movie
Following. This looks so much harder than your AT trip. I cannot figure out how you are finding the trail.
Hey Frozen. . .loving the video's on the PCT so far. . .love representing 412. . .Random question though, What was the name of your favorite beer that you received as trail magic on the AT that one time? Thanks in advance. . .keep up the great work!
Delirium Tremens
Wait: the gas there is over $5 a gallon???
Hi
Hi
I got a silly question :) How you digging cat holes in that tundra ..lol
They say not to defecate in snow. So sometimes at the bottom of the pass you just put a rock on it.. yea rangers told us to do that one.
You got to work on the handlebar mustache. Half of it's sicken up!
Are you colorblind? I know a couple colorblind people that everything they have is blue.
No?
You aint much if you aint Dutch.
That food looks so disgusting I went carnivore feel fantastic not sure how I would hike as a carnivore but I'm sure it can be done.
