ABOUT ME:
Californian exploring the world. Here to share adventures and give you tips about travel, culture, language, and life.
I love how “real” you guys are about this last part. You can see in your eyes how much of a mental feat it was to stay on trail.
Going to miss watching this series when it’s finished
So grateful for your videos during quarantine. Loving the music you choose, really gives me the "feels" while home on my sofa for, well I've lost count of the days. Have been with you since day one and am loving the journey!
Hi Lorraine! So glad to have you along for the adventure. Don’t know if you saw it, but I made a playlist of the songs I’ve used 😊 open.spotify.com/playlist/1Tc8SF3m2I7c1DJH1p9mML?si=TYLGvwmQTlOb_k01TsMtcA
@@mari.johnson Will definitely listen! Hope you and Nick are healthy and happy during the quarantine.
Watching your trail experiences seem like a million years ago and far away from the changes that are likely coming to the PCT and they hiking in general. Glad to be along for the ride; thanks for providing it.🌿
Best part of the week... Sunday’s...
when Mari’s videos come online.
😊
It's too bad that going either NOBO or SOBO hiking through this area you get the cold wet weather with limited views, when the rest of the late spring/summer/early fall seasons are so beautiful.
Proud of you guys for hanging in there. You will make it!
Wow five months of hiking. You must be so proud of yourself! I would never but am happy to watch your videos.
Dude nick is like the nicest guy ever and he is making us all look bad.
Oh yeah! Never, EVER leave your food in your tent in WA. The mice are VICIOUS! 😂
Also, those are blue huckleberries. They're SO GOOD!
Super impressed on the amount of miles you two do each day. Almost there...I want to thank you for taking us all on your trip. Its been a life saver during this lockdown in place. Looking forward to seeing future adventures...once your able to go outside. LOL
Gonna miss this series 😩 Nick laughs I got nothing to say and yes you are crazy the sane people are at home on the couch 🤪
Happy almost 1 year trail anniversary to you, Taco Salad!! I met you just north of Seiad Valley at camp; I was a sobo and your tramily kindly invited me to sit down and eat frosted animal crackers with you guys :) Really enjoying your trail videos and glad to see you guys persevered through cold and wet Washington. Hope you, Nick, and your tramily are doing well! -Goldilocks
Hi Goldilocks! Yes of course I remember you! Hope the rest of your hike went well and that you’re staying well now too ❤️
Like everyone, I will be SO sad when the PCT hike ends for you. I can't fathom what could equal or top this but I bet you two find something! I am so glad I found your channel and watching your hike has added so much to my life... so proud of you. The scenery on this video was AWESOME despite the fog... thank you.
Happy to be able to share it all with you, Mary! 😊
I was about a week ahead of you on this section of trail, and the stretch between Steven's and Stehekin ended up being one of my least favorite section of trail. I know there had to be some beautiful views there, but most of them were fogged in like you. The constant rain, cold, and the overgrowth on the trail that soaked you even when it wasn't raining not to mention the slippery mud made this section brutal.
hi Mari and Nick what a great job you guys are doing. I hope to hike the section "J" this summer, maybe July or August, before it gets cold and rainy. But, lovin to guys are making a strong finish
Love your hikes! Stay safe.
Happy Birthday Rick!
Damn...This just made me cry...
Sending love
Section J, oh so beautiful!!! My favorite part of Washington though was everything north of Stevens Pass, all the way to the border. Seriously breathtaking views! Washington hiking can be relentless in the weather. Getting out of the sleeping bag and tent in the morning was the hardest and the sun set so much earlier. Thank you for bringing back so many good trail memories. I'm loving your videos and don't want them to end.
You guys have done great, thank you for sharing. I will miss your weekly video. Darn mice.
Great job guys!!
I'm not ready for your journey to finish.......😭😭😭😭😭😭
Looks so hard doing marathons every day in the cold and rain. And so sad you couldn’t see the views! Such determination ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Glacier peak was the mountain i used to see out my window every single morning for a year, i miss that so much. all these clips just brought me back to hiking in those trails and exploring that gorgeous area. i had the privilege of choosing nice weather days tho ksdjskdj. as always that music is super on point and the aesthetic video shots really made the video. im so sad that this series is drawing to a close but so happy yall are done with the mice and rain skdjskj
Dad says it all same here course there’s always the reruns 😏
Always the most beautiful views from Kendall Katwalk, unless it's socked in with fog but you two got lucky. Thanks for another awesome vlog and showing some of the best parts of uninhabited Washington.🤗💖
Great job guys will miss your videos once they're finished but thanks so much for all the time and effort you put in to creating them for us. The blueberries looked like they really lifted your spirits there.
They really did! So tasty 😊
Cool to see you hike through areas I have been. Bummer you had such cold rainy weather last year. That area is really beautiful.
Awesome that you’ve been there! Hopefully I can go back another time 😊
Thank you for being so awesome.
😊
I look forward to your videos all week!
🤗
The last 2 years it has snowed on the last day of summer here , it doesn't this time , but it is coming . Well you did miss the storm at Stevens Pass but the 2nd one chased a lot of people off the trail who didn't finish except for IBTAT & CO who braved the 2 feet of snow to Canada.
Persevere! Sorry you missed all the great views around Glacier Peak.
You're so close but I don't want this to end.
I don't know why but this actually just reminded me of Rambo movie where Silvestor Saline was hiding in the forest.
Sometimes it becomes a slog to finish!
Wow you are getting treated to some nice weather in the northern cascades. Even though it’s that damp alpine cold at least you are getting nice views. In between fog banks. But the mice 🐁 up there are super aggressive unlike most of the pct. yea for mountain berries! I used to as a kid spend all day in the woods cuz there were always plenty of berries. I miss that part of WA forests. Next ‘town’ is stehekin. Still some adventures to come. Thanks for posting.
It might appear we had nice weather, but I think that’s because I only really took out my camera when it wasn’t raining or when we could see views. So at least all the good stuff I saw is in the vlog! 😅
Ha. That’s WA for. you. When it starts raining the fingers just get miserably cold. Almost can’t even grip anything. Thanks for posting the pretty. ❤️
OMG Mari!!! After HUNDREDS of miles, not only did Nick actually USE his poles, he used them 7, count'em SEVEN TIMES in this video!!!! I was beginning to think he was being punished for something..... "NO POLES FOR YOU NICKY!!!! MUSH!!!!".
If there was a little outdoor toilet where you hit your eye, in 2016 I put a gash in my head there. Ouch!!!✌
Thanks you for another great video, Mari. The Washington dream expressed in the phrase "warm and dry" sounds to be loaded with even more anticipation than "town food'. I hope your lockdown time hasn't been too frustrating after all those months of walking in the wilderness. At least your bodies have had a chance to recover from the sugar overload. If you were to do another thru-hike, would you change your food prep in any way? 🤗
Haha true! And now, lockdown seems easy compared to walking every day in the rain! Yes, I think if I did it again I’d try to eat healthier 😊
Bean tacos i love to a eat those at home.
Ug, our worst summer/fall in my 40 years memory. Sorry for the rain!
Awesome thru hike series~ #Mari&Nickthruhike2021
Wow, so beautiful views on day 154. And I think I've seen this damaged Bridge in about 50 vlogs over the last years.
So excited to see you guys finishing soon. And as well so sad to see you guys finishing soon
Thanks for sticking with the videos
Do you like using poncho I was thinking about bringing it but was thinking about the weight also. Thanks for your videos.
17:48 my exact view I got of the cliffs of moher
Ahh! I feel your pain! 😭
Deadly attacks from silly branches🌲 or mice🐀 were the most annoying part in Washington.😓 I hope you had better weather condition when you got into the monument area. Bty, I loved🥰 all different kinds of wild berries.👍
Washington really tested us! But what beautiful scenery (when we could see it!) 😊
The rain is a killer on the coast for backpacking. Did u ever hang your food?
Fellow Husky here! What did Nick think of the Aarn pack after the trip? It seems like such an interesting concept. And what size were the pack and the pockets? Love your videos.
Hi Mark! He really liked it! Seems like it makes a lot of sense. He used the featherlite freedom - not sure of the specs. Go Huskies!
my best friends birthday is the 25th as well!! mine is the 28th :)
I know you probably covered this elsewhere, but I missed it. What camera did you use to record all of these videos?
It’s a canon g7x mark ii
Congratulations
You can become insulin resistant even when your hiking if you eat too much sugar.. You should have that checked out. I don't eat junk food on the trail for that very reason. Having too much sugar is like having too much alcohol to the liver. Get a complete blood panel now that your off trail. High triglycerides is a warning sign and a high Total LDL/HDL ratio above 5. Both your hemoglobin and your lipids become glycated from eating sugar and in most cases exercise wont prevent it. The human matabolism was not designed to handle that much sugar. "The dose is the poison", we can only deal with traces of sugar.
Thanks John! I got a checkup and blood test in November and all seemed good, but that’s good to know about! 😊
Well Mari, you know you've done something right when you see all the comments about not wanting to see this end. Add mine : (
Video Sunday!!😊💖🐶🐶
Maybe you can time the end with the end of our incarceration! Then you can get off to your next big adventure & film it, editing with your new iPad so we won't miss a week. Don't worry about missing the views at the Glacier Peak area; lots of UA-camrs captured them!
Gee. that could've been quite a bad injury to the eye Mari - still a nasty one tho. I guess the incessant rain would dull the enthusiasm but you are still clocking up good miles. Maybe I've missed an episode but where are Bart n PartyTart? Hope ur not too bored in 'Lock Down'.
Hi Ben! Bart and Party Tart went into Leavenworth, so we split up for a little 😊 Lockdown isn’t too bad - at least we’re warm and dry! Hope you’re staying well!
are the beanies for sale as well?
The beanies are no longer available, but you can buy a patch and make your own! www.marijohnson.info/shop
Thank god your eye was ok. Can't imagine what you would have to do if you needed medical attention!
I know! Eek!
Your trekking pole was looking a bit wonky by Washington. 😄
Nice pictures of the pika (Ochotona princeps). I understand climate change is pushing them to higher and higher elevations (and further and further north). And 15:41: "Whats ya gonna do?" Hang your food? Use an UrSack?
More OUTDOORSYNESS 👊😎... OH NO, not another “Telephone Pole”!!!
Hahaha 🙈 I can’t believe you remember that!
Yep, I sure do remember that incident. Have enjoyed your videos for some time now. Trying to work my way RTW to each continent. Two to go!!!
relating so hard to those views... went on one of "the most beautiful" hikes around Mt Baker last August... saw lots of clouds! No one else on trail and have never been so soaked
