    Simply amazing. Followed you from the day you landed in the US. You are easily the sunniest hiker in the Class of 23. You coped with Covid, you coped with tough hiking conditions, you coped with the snow and never once did your smile waver. And you made it to Canada like a star. Massive Congratulations. You are an example for others to follow in determination, in a wonderful attitude, in your friendliness and the sheer joy you have brought to so many of us. Thank you for your videos and for taking us along. Its been a privilege. Delighted to hear you are already contemplating the next adventure; we'll be there of course. And just so you know, this last video is a classic even by your high standards - A codger from a world away in India.

    I never heard of the PCT before this year, nor ever hiked with my tent etc on my back. I had a blast this summer getting into it and it was amazing to at the same time follow your journey. It is crazy. It is amazing. Very well done.
    Thank you for the effort of sharing and inspiring. It was such a pleasure. Almost like being a part of your little family as well. I will miss you and hope you will all have a good time setteling in back home ❤❤❤

    I have watched your journey right from the very beginning and cried for you when you reached the norther terminus in Canada! Congratulations on this amazing feat! Your joy was so contagious, even in the midst of all the trials of the trail. Thank you for all the hard work you put into sharing your adventure with all of us while on trail - I can only imagine that wasn't easy either! If you end up in Vancouver, please let me know and I would love to take you out for dinner! Northern Irish people are one of my favorites - I had a roommate for 7 years who is from Bangor and she was (and still is amazing!). xo

    Ash - I have LOVED experiencing your epic adventure through your fabulous videos. You bring such warmth, honesty, beautiful music, heart, and fun to your videos, and presumably to your life outside of your hiking adventures. I’m so glad I found your videos early last spring. I still tell anyone who will listen about your adventure, and about our chance meeting in the town of Tehachapi; what an amazing stroke of luck and fortuitous timing after spending weeks tracking your progress through the videos. Congratulations on making it YOUR hike, and you made some tough and excellent decisions along the way; and had fun, through all the pain! I do hope you’ll find your way back to the Sierra at some point, to experience all of the magic it has to offer. If I can ever be of any assistance in California, don’t hesitate to reach out. Although I barely know you, I’m sending you lots of love and support. Cheers, to a job well done!

    Ash, thank you for entertaining us this summer with your personal and very entertaining vlogs. After all, one can only tolerate so much dirt, rocks and trees! The PCT dynamics have changed greatly over the years. Though one thing that hasn't changed is the incredible fortitude it takes to face the trail every day with it's diverse terrain and weather and it's highs and lows. Fortitude you got!! Congratulations and best wishes! (class of 1975)

    I’m so proud of you Ash! You probably don’t remember but we communicated back when your bag was missing and you had Covid. You never gave up and as you know that’s the key. I thru-hiked the AT in 21 and if you haven’t done a long trail it’s hard to express what it means or how you are forever changed. I watched everyone of your videos and loved following your journey. Congratulations! You are a legend!

    It's only fitting that your trip end in snow in contrast to the beginning that started in heated temperatures. You were one of my favorites to follow this season, Your upbeat personality and poetic words added to the experience. That half of the year is one you will never regret and you now have a cache of memories that will be with you forever. It's been a true blessing to follow you to the end. Congratulations to you and all your fellow hikers.

The pics that I took 50 years ago on one of my trips are very precious to me. Your videos will be important to you in 20 years. I hope that you enjoyed your visit to the US. For cold camping look at getting a Zippo Pocket warmer, it burns lighter fluid. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick
