Incredible journey 🤘

Mazama was a great place

Epic adventure! Thanks for taking us along with you.

Congratulations!

Congratulations! Well done sir, I look forward to your next adventure!

Good Video😁👍 You know who i am

How are you finding that gortex jacket while wearing a pack? I opted to not buy shakedry because I read that its quite fragile and the rubbing of the backpack straps would ruin the goretex and allow wetting out.

How totally cool !! My kid is a teenager and I would absolutely love to do this with them! Lucky kid❤

Who’s that kid?

Would love to see a post-hike gear review of your pct hike. How did you like the far point alpha pants? They basically look like a mesh layer (in a good way).

Thanks to your review I bought the Dipole 2 li and used it for all but one of my backpacking trips this year. I too LOVE this tent! Really the best pole, 2 person tent out there IMO. So much floor space and vertical wall space. The "windows" are a home run for the views and ventilation. I have no problem using this tent just for myself, even though it is massive, it is still under 2 lbs. Incredibly solid using the 4 stakes, and a breeze to setup once you figure out how to square the stakes first. Using 8 stakes makes it more bomb proof than most other ultralight tents out there. Tarptent definitely leads the way in innovation.

I love that tent, and the single version. However, I disagree that the vestibules are big. I found them to be far smaller than any of my other tents. I also didn't like that the ends have little dyneema string that the rain will drip down. I had water in my tent on both single and double version. I'll probably put a rubber gasket around them at some point. Even, with the vestibule size, and the string issue, I do agree. They're my favorite tents I've owned.

I know him!!!!!

Mr Johnson u should post a video about the inca empire

I’ve been thinking of picking one of these for a long time, but I like the Stratosphere (?) for its larger space, and if I’m not mistaken it can come with a colder weather inner. I usually hammock camp, but am finding it a bit of a pain when it’s getting near zero. I can’t afford the Li version though. I only occasionally need something to carry any big distance btw. More just a short hike from the car, but I’d like something I could if I needed it.

Blind Melon ftw!

I would love to know what shelter you would choose for a PCT through hike. I am 6"1 similar to you. Altaplex or Dipole 1 Li or something else ?

That is very very light, and expensive! Hope you didnt suffer too much with sleeping pad holes, brittle hiking poles snapping or lack of rain protection. One thing I have noticed with the ultralight backpacking movement is that people dont seem to put any attention into lowering the weight of their smartphones or electronics in general. I have an old smartphone which is 135 grams / 4.76 ounces and this does the job when I put it on airplane mode -- the battery lasts for a long time (especially when I am out in the woods to get away from electronics and use it very rarely). The iphone 13 is 204 g / 7.195 ounces. I also have that lightweight flashlight, but I dont really think you need it if you use the daylight properly and the light from your smartphone in emergencies. Heck, your eyes even adjust to the darkness if you dont flare them up with artificial light all the time. I guess, to each their own, but my backpacking philosophy is to get away from all the complicated things.

Thanks for the video really appreciate your time and effort, what are your thoughts on the Palanta Desert pack for the Sierras with a Bear Canister? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

$700+ damn

Mr. Johnson whats ur rizz levels

Great video, thanks for sharing your experience.

No rain jacket?

Much respect for the challenge and your efforts. Did you go back and complete that section later? Make it Canada?

Great looking tent. TarpTent has amazing products. New follower here. Crow✌️

OMG that's gorgeous

Good to see the foods available in the US for us people in other countries.

10:14 did you notice any extra wind getting through the upper part of the foot/head windows? I have the DW and besides the weights savings being able to open from the inside looks like another advantage. It opens more too but just want to make sure wind, in addition the rain as you mentioned, stays out.

What pack did you switch to for this section?

Fantastic job you guys! That's a rough haul going down the S. Kaibab with fully loaded packs, and absolutely brutal on the way back up! Wise choice to do it in trail runners though. That's a great way to go. Add lightness and speed, and walk on the rows of rock bocks on the side of the trails, to avoid the mule steps! Your son and daughter did great!!

You all rock!!

That's a huge climb!! Nice job!

That looks like such an amazing hike!

Looks so sunny 😍

Cool Video

Such a cool partnership!! So amazing you guys!!!

Great video

I was planning on getting the x-mid pro this spring but after watching a few reviews on the dipol Li I think I’m going with the dipole.

I’m glad to see you’re posting more from your 2023 PCT adventure. Your videos were amazing to watch last year while we were out on the PCT….always positive and informative. I’ve got some miles to finish this summer…just might see you out on trail again. Have a great summer. ~Special J

I need to replace my 6 year old zPacks Duo which is becoming delaminated at several stress points. Wasn’t quite happy with what I was seeing. Thank you for this review, i think I found my new tent!

Appreciate the review bro! Looks like an awesome shelter. I'm going to pick one up. I love that your daughter hikes with you. So special! I wish my daughters would do that with me.

To each his won but for 5 more pounds I rather have a bit more comfort over several months. A 10 pound pack is good for weekend but for me not for a thru hike. I can't see myself cold soaking for months on end. However it it works for you then great! I am hiking in 24 we share some gear. I went to a zero degree quilt from enlightened equipment and have a bit more insulation in my pad. I know you went in 23 and interested in how your comfort level during sleep.

What was your total base weight with all your gear except the ice axe, crampons, and bear can? Using your Xtherm pad not uberlite.

Great movie again! This section was really nice and Belden was such a cool little town and the pictures at the end are so funny, especially the one with the swedish fish. Thanks a lot for the awesome time.

If you KNOW you have been in poison oak, any good decreasing detergent and a wash rag will remove it and you have a few hours to get it off before it starts to soak into the skin. But many of use are immune to it (at least for the first few contacts)
