Hey Julia!!!
Thank you so much for your patronage and kind words. It has been super busy, since you stayed, as the bigger bubbles arrive. Great to see all your smiles again! Please stay in touch and know you are always welcome at Old Sierra City Hotel ☝️😘

My husband and I have been watching your channel and enjoy all your videos. It's a way for us old folks to see the PCT vicariously. We walk everyday, but it's urban, so your videos allow us a different perspective. I keep you and your fellow hikers in my prayers.
Took a break from watching thru hikes on youtube last few years. Love your new videos, of your travels. You post so frequently, and it reminds me of following a few peoples different thru hikes years ago, when I first started dreaming of doing this, following those 2018 and 2019 hikes on the PCT. That was a high snow year, which this is not. Thanks for letting us follow the journey, and safe travels.
Moss level on trees, especially the lowest level, is often an indicator of the winter snowpack or how high the snow level was the previous winter.
At 3:13, Julia does a deep dive into Corry's relationship with food. What did we learn? Corry is a much more complex character than we have been led to believe.
Thanks for posting. I was having kind of a tough day mentally and seeing your walk through the wilderness gave me a bit of a silver lining in thought for a trip I'm planning. It might not mean much but you don't know how much I needed that. Thank you for that. I hope your trip is everything you want it to be.
me too
Answer to horizontal Moss Rings question, found by field research. It's not snow levels in this case. That genus of pine tree grows numerous small branches in a ring like spokes on a wheel. The bark along that branch growth ring splits horizontally all around the ring, presumably in concert with the branch growth. That bark split stays in the bark formation throughout the life of the tree long after the branches atrophy, die-off, break-off. The moss is thriving on the "shelf" the split provides. If you look closely where there are visible branch stubs, you can see the relationship.
Not positive about the moss but if those are white pines, their branches also grow in rings like that. Coincidence?
I was a paramedic for 45 years and my first aid kit is duct tape, ibuprofen, imodium , benadryl and a 14g catheter for chest decompression. I figure that I'm wearing tons of bandages and the forest is filled with splints. LOL
The Staghorn Lichen level on the trees indicates the mean snow level and it's a good indicator if the snowpack is above or below average in peak winter. In some of the more stormy parts of the Sierra, the lichen line can be as high as 20 feet on the Fir trees.
I have been enjoying your videos because while you are struggling with the snow I am in Spain struggling with the heat. In my mind I am escaping to the PCT wishing for cooler days. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you!
So sorry about Cory’s leg but at least he has you to take good care of him. Y’all are so enjoyable to watch.
Technically it's letharia vulpina, a type of fruticose lichen and not a type of moss. I love that stuff. My guess is that the growth patterns would indicate snow levels in years past...
Love your honesty/humility about trail conditions and daily expectations in your vids.
That thing was HUGE!!!! Corey's trailname be.. 4x4 lol ;)
You guys are fast!!! Your inspiring me to quit my job and do the PCT.
Wow, what a massive “log” you pulled out Corey’s leg…kudos to him for dealing with it and the pain on the trail up to the point where you extracted it so effortlessly and flawlessly…hopefully he earned some true toughness points with you for dealing with it while hiking…and that you also earned some TLC points from him for taking care of him and his wound…you make a good trail team. Take care, and looking forward to watching more posts soon.
I love Sierra City!! I contributed to the hiker box when we were camping near there last year! Great channel!!
If the camp shoes/crocs? ever get old flopping against the pack there's another way to carry. It's a trade off really, not that one way is best because preferences apply. Just another option.
My camp shoes are not super lightweight so this alternate method works well for me + they have the little loops atop the heels.
What I do is take a standard length* (6 ft) of paracord, tie each end to a shoe so they just barely overlap at one side by my hip with the cord around my waist. No more tying needed. I just twist them and they hold really well, but still come off super easy. Also I hike with a big self-reliance pack, so my hip area opposite my dominant side is a good spot for optimizing balance.
* standard lengths I carry for paracord are 1 ft+ (GP), 6 ft+ (GP), and 20 ft+ (ridge line mainly). GP - General Purpose lengths are ideal for tarp tiedown/tightening, ready shoelace replacement, laundry line, gear tie down, etc.
I could swear that fence post that you pulled out of Cory’s leg said “Tractor Supply” on the side… 🤣🤣🤣 Good grief!
I must say, what a change in you since I watched your video of your AT thru hike announcement with your tent set up in the house, many positive vibes noticed ! kudos to you and your adventures!
The lichen loves the clean air up there. Not sure why it grows in rings. I just know it only grows in areas with really hood air quality. The lichen is related in some ways to moss but it is a slightly different critter. Moss requires more wet climates. You will see both moss and lichen on trees once you get to the mount hood area near cascade locks. The northern sierras has this bright yellow lichen that’s amazing. The climb out of Sierra city can be brutal if there is any heat cuz it’s a lot of switchbacks. Thanks for posting
that was one hell of a splinter!
Rocket, watching one of the trail sequences, I realized that I probably will not make it up to the Donner Pass area again, and that it really is nice to be able to see these most beautiful areas in your videos. Thank you and I wish you happiness on your trip.
Nice! Omg as Im opening tuna, your pulling sticks 😂 out of Corey’s leg…🥴😂😂 Im sorry for the loss of your Mom’s furry friend…💕🐾🐾 Thanks for sharing a fun video…😋🥾🥾
I love that area around truckee. The very small bit of the pct I've done was at the trailhead off 80. That entire area is 👌👌👌
Woodpecker rings explain the moss patterns. Love your story!
Fun fact - there was a family named Burger in the Donner party. lol
Thanks!
Dirty Girl Gaiters? I love mine. Thanks for taking us along!
My favorite thruhikers. Loving the consistent uploads all the way. Just began backpacking and Im thinking of doing a thru hike or at least a section of one, this is great documentation for learning for sure. Keep it up guys, one foot in front of the other.
Great video log. Keep up the wonderful film work.
You are doing great thanks. Keep on trucking. ✌🏻👊
Those moss rings were cool, stay safe and enjoy the trail! Thanks as always for sharing your journey!
We have been hiking for over 30 years and we carry crazy glue, a sowing need, 6 pound fishing line, a rubbing alcohol in our first aid kit. We had to deal with broken ribs (2X,) one from a horse roll over on a guy, the other was a teenager walking off the trail and rapped around a tree. No air lift out's. Bad cuts, camp fire burns. Ditch medicine 😉
Holy shit! That splinter was huge.
Welcome to the neighborhood!
1:51 That has got to be Nightmare Before Christmas, right,..? Love Pumpkin Jack! 🎃
another great video. Your nursing skills sure came in handy!
I’ve heard that there are insects/birds that bore holes in trees for sap which makes a symbiotic habitat for the moss/lichen to grow like that since they need exposed wood and not bark…. Anyway, Love watching your journey!
also 2 other theory's ive heard about the moss, one is that the rings form where the snowline is when the temperatures increase in spring, the other is they form at the old whirls of branches that have broken/rotted off. all of these ideas seem plausible to me
My first guess would be it grows where woodpeckers have been drilling to attract insects. My second is Aliens leaving moss rings like they do crop circles :)
They used to tie slaves on the tree, and the more rings, the more slaves you owned. Like a status symbol. They're in a trump county.
That wasn't a splinter... that was a piece of firewood. Lol.
Stay safe and keep reaching for the peaks.
Pull the beam out of yourself before pointing out another man's splinter, right?
Julia, I'm sure someone will give the full answer about the "Moss". When I lived in California I learned in the boyscouts that you can eat the moss which grows on the North side of trees. When cooked it taste a lot like spinach. Survival food=Only.
Check out Bex the Cat Herder…she has an entire episode on eating expired food! I am still not believing the size of that splinter! Did it not hurt???or throb? I am really enjoying yalls trek. Thanks so much.
Ugh, that splinter! I thought it was a tick and the gasp I let out when it was almost an inch long 😧 ouch
Almost ran into you guys in Sierra City. That would've been weird and awesome at the same time. Lol.
Corey’s trail name needs to be Splinter McGash
Slippy McSlipperson! Sounds like something I would come up with.🤪
Largest splinter I’ve ever seen
Take care of that leg man!
I have heard of tree rings, but it is the first time I saw them on the outside of the trees. That doesn't help much.
Lichen and where the sunlight goes thru the other trees to hit it?
Hanging out with minor's or hanging out with miner's, they're both trouble. Hanging out with minor miner's is double trouble.
🙂👍
This reminds me that I bookmarked your wilderness first aid video to watch water.
New trail name ‘Chin Ding’
Better nurse Rocket than nurse Ratchet any day
Fishing trip with the Oregon mountains as a backdrop here we come. Don't forget the Juicyfruit.
What backpack are you using??
😄🤙💥
Guys always go for the glory of a headshot and girls aim for the crown jewels 😁Oh yea, Rocket and Splinter sound good?
Sierraville has the hot springs down the road
Natural or commercial? In other words for outdoor folks or for rich tourists?
@@treebeardtheent2200 both I’m in no way wealthy . It has been developed but the dome room is nice and the pool. Lake Tahoe does have many discussing billionaires that don’t. belong
@@SuperChriscunningham I asked the question bc I'm ignorant about that one and need some enlightenment. I'm still curious.
I have had both amazingly good experiences and busted hopes regarding hot springs. There are even not-so-obvious variables that some ppl overlook such as off season might make a hot springs awesome while the same place might really suck mid-season. Multiple reviews from multiple sources at varied times helps to inform.
Some of them even require reservations. I don't even take buses if they require reservations. Part of the beauty of travel for me is getting unshackled from all that kind of stuff.
@@treebeardtheent2200 because of. Covid reservations are now required. The better natural hot springs are down by Bridgeport or mono lake or mamoth
I think more Sawyers end up getting freeze jacked (unserviceable) than ppl realize. It only takes minutes for them to freeze and even putting it inside a clothing pocket is frequently not enough. I have heard rumors of ppl getting giardia who consistently filtered.
I suspect that the pretty low numbers of ppl who get sick is more due to the water sources mostly being safe enough rather than filters holding up, but it only takes one bad source+ once frozen filter to ruin a trip.
I have been wanting to switch to an alternate/supplimental system for colder weather (any freezing), but it looks like I may have to violate a principle and get what I need online. Going online to get essential stuff for Outdoor living is just wrong to me.
I still think that the filters are great, but they are just inherently NOT suitable when it's below freezing outside.
I've used a Pur Pioneer filter for 30 yrs, it's fairly light, screws on a Nalgene bottle, and uses disposable filter discs. Sadly the discs are no longer available and my stockpile has run out.
The Donner Party disaster is so crazy. I also watched a documentary, and its frightening what awful conditions they had to endure.
Moss: Because if it grew in squares it would be square.
Anyone know off hand what app she uses to edit her footage?
Imovie
Let me know if you are going to stop in at JJ's Cafe in Old Station. I know the owner.
I think they are only open Thursday through Sunday
I’m betting you guys are counting switchbacks as a single pass before the turn, and whoever said 17 is counting the back and forth as one. So 34 switchbacks by the way you’re counting.
Oh Rocket. I say this with your absolute best interests at heart. You are losing too much weight and it's not like you had a lot to begin with. I worry.
Dont worry ive gained quitr a bit back (will see in later videos)! Im back to my normal. The sierras were just so harsh to us! ♥️♥️
Corey walks so fast. Ever have trouble keeping up with him??
That's sexist. No man can be better than a woman at anything.
What a babe.
You really need to carry at least a minimal first aid kit!
Umm...maybe he should consider wearing long pants.
I can't believe you don't have a first aid kit, Julia. You should know better!
Last tetanus vaccine? Sorry about your fur baby!!
Hung out with miners, or minors? lol
Miners! Gold Miners!
from this day forward Corey shall be known as.......Slipstream ❄️🧊🩹
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks!
