Great to hear from you! Seven hundred miles is a big accomplishment 👏🏼 Looking forward to seeing vlog about your Great Basin trip, as well as other adventures while you get ready to wrap up the PCT 😊

I have driven by Great Basin NO a couple of times in the past few years but I accidentally haven’t been inside the park boundaries since the mid 80s I’m excited to see your perspective.

Dear, I am subscriber of your youtube channel. Your video is amazing. But there are few issues with your channel so that you don't get more view. If you want we can work together to remove this obstacle. I am sure you will be benefited. After solving the obstacles you can earn money from your channel. If you interested please contact with me.

So glad you are getting home and staying off those poor feet. Fingers crossed for workable plan from podiatrist. Love you.

But you wouldn't have met me had you not done the desert section.

Hoping you are able to get the Sierra section in this year! 🤞🏻

Thank you for the update. I’m eager to hear the next doctor’s report. 🤞🏼

Glad to hear you have some answers for your foot problem.

Those were some beautiful views of the ocean Best of both worlds with the lush forest walk. Thank you so much for sharing the gorgeous sights!

I have always enjoyed your travels and videos. Keep it up but take care of your feet first. ❤️‍🩹🙏🏻

I so enjoyed meeting you in Brookings last week. You so remind me of me when i started Rving...Gosh has it been that long ago? ... over 20 years ago! First, I rushed from place to place because i still had a business to get back to. Then I sold my business and still I rushed> I wanted to see everything and figured I was old then so not much time left. Then I traveled with a gal who said she only does 200 miles a day. What? She taught me the RV rule. Drive only 200 miles, stop by 2pm, and stay 2 days (at least) If I were to put my 78-year-old two cents worth in. I learned to slow down when I moved here to Curry County. where their slogan is "There's no hurry in Curry." For a gal who chased the dollar all her life, this concept was life changing. My late husband was part Cherokee. He could sit out on our patio for hours. I thought he was simple minded. I was so young! and foolish! (About your age, Jim) Anyway, I love you and what you're doing. Be kind to yourself. You surely have a pack of souls, or angels as some folks call them, following you and your wife. It's time you see the goodness of what you have done for so many. Thene's a fantastic author Luis Alberto Urea. The Devil's Highway is one of his books. Urea says, "We must speak for those who cannot." What have you done and what are doing now? You are showing others that nothing is impossible. Sorry rambled on for so long.This is why I write books and not short stories! :)

Great video

Thanks for sharing the beautiful scenery!

Enjoy the coast!😊

Glad you chose to take care of yourself. The trail will always be there. My prayers for fast healing.

We will continue to love watching your videos no matter how you are traveling.

Would definitely enjoy car camping videos! Excellent pivot for now, glad to see you’re still getting out there and enjoying the outdoors while you’re listening to your body and figuring out what you need to do to get back out on the trail. Would love to see you in person when you’re in town!

We’ve really enjoyed these videos and would definitely watch the car-camping adventures!

Link both the power supply and cooler plz! I'd watch a review on car camping gear too

No use injuring yourself. The trail will still be there when you feel that you're well enough to continue.

you got this brutha!

Wise decision. Whatever will come, please -- Be safe; keep at it! Listening to your body is the smart thing!

Very wise to put your health first! As for Flame, no comparison to anyone else! This is YOUR journey. Heal well my friend.

Congratulations on finishing the "desert section" of the PCT. I hope we'll be seeing more from you when the time is right. Wherever life's trail may lead, please -- Be safe; keep at it!

One day at a time, stay flexible. Too much focus on keeping a schedule leads to missing out on 90% of the adventure and schedule obsesion is also linked to a large proportion of avoidable trail tragedies and injuries. Semper Gumby says smiles are better than miles.

Keep it up Jim. Love the videos

Is that why you skipped the Sierras because fear of knee injury getting worse ? Not quite clear why you skipped the Sierras ?

You're walking through my favorite camping area.

This is my dream hike! Three major barriers for me are time, money and fear of flying. Nothing this amazing in the UK, but the Pennines Way is pretty spectacular. Good luck!

A few years ago I visited Kennedy Meadows. It was the Covid times, but what I remember was the warning outside Grumpy’s about an outbreak of norovirus among the hikers.😷🤢🤮 Congratulations again, great achievement.

Good job my friend, proud of you!

You are so blessed to have Cathy and all her loving support.

FABULOUS! An incredible accomplishment!! Love you.

Congratulations! Great job.

Congratulations on completing the desert. I hope you stay in it for the reward of the JMT. When I imagine a post-retirement PCT, I can totally see me bailing at Sonora Pass and flipping to Washington. Assuming I didn’t bail at Big Bear 😂

A group of spiders is called a cluster if the spiders are actually touching each other. They are a clutter if there is space between the members of the group. Enjoying your videos! Congratulations on 600! Be safe; keep at it!

Far Out's mapping is actually accurate. The Sierra begins at Tehachapi Pass. From Tehachapi to KMS is the Southern Sierra, some sections of which are referred to as high desert.

Question...why can you clean up in the creek?

Wow. 23 miles yesterday? Just wow

Keep up your smart planning. Good job.

Happy Fourth of July...

Bravo.....when hot.....hike at night......cheers

Days wise, you're doing good. Keep hacking away at it.

It is interesting!

😎

When do you think you will finish the desert portion.

Have been following your trek since Campo. You're doing a great job! I was going to reserve comment until I "caught up" with your videos, but was interested about two things. Brain fog: This could be partially caused by your inadequate calorie intake. Some of my job is in hospitals, and I've seen patients who have had similar symptoms. Their bodies adjust to their starvation conditions and establish new survival protocols. It's all subconcious and automatic, and the brain fog is a result of the brain shutting down higher functions. Out on the trail, you have probably subconsciously established your "survival protocols" and focus on them only, and the confusion sets in on town days when "higher functions" that have been idled to conserve fuel (kind of like the Voyager spacecraft powering down unnecessary equipment) suddenly are necessary, and you have to make a concerted effort to break through the brain fog and start using idled functions again. Of course, as a thru-hiker, your brain fog experience is imcredibly mild compared to hospitalized patients who have been malnourished for months. Trail completion monument in Acton: This monument celebrates the completion of a legal, continuous footpath from border to border. However, the intended, final alignmemt of the trail has yet to be realized. If that can ever be accomplished, the trail will likely extend further west through the Transverse Ranges and loop around back to Tehachapi without descending to the desert floor. In the "old days," the trail ended its westward extension (maybe in Big Bear or Wrightwood), and the desert floor traverse was much longer heading north to around Mojave and then to Tehachapi or Walker Pass. Was happy to see you hiking with someone. Also, enjoyed your video of Vasquez Rocks. Gorn are the days ... 😊 Wherever this comment may find you, please -- Be safe; keep at it!

600 miles ! Good job. That is a accomplishment Brother
