Only about 20% of thru-hike permit holders finish the entire trail in one season. You are a BADASS Starburst!! This is an amazing accomplishment! What an awesome recap of your fantastic adventure!
F-ing epic video. Had goosebumps and tears nearly the whole time. Especially watching the clips of your last mile. That episode rocked me. I'm just going to put my own ego aside and say thanks for legit being my PCT idol, as it were, no joke. Your videos have been my inspiration for going through with planning my PCT hike, even after watching other thru-hikers. It was so great to meet you in Auburn during Allen and Nancy's fundraiser. Such amazing people for doing what they do for others. Hike on, Starburst!
Awesome!!!! I remember looking forward to watching you every day. You helped me get through a really rough time in my life that prevented me from going on my week-long annual hiking trip. Your upbeat attitude and openness are so inspiring! Thank you for taking us along the trail with you, Starburst
My wife and I are day and multi day hiker trash. Today we did 3 sisters, a hike about 5 miles from Julian. We stopped at Warner Springs community center to use the bathroom. It was packed with thru hiker tents. A girl saw us with hiking clothes and thought that we were thru hikers (which we were going to do this year but budget got in the way) she was so nice as every hiker that we've met. We went on to Paradise Valley cafe but it was closed and no hikers were there. We go to different parts of the pct in San Diego county to assist where we can. Next week we do the southern pct terminus to Lake Morena as a day hike and just dream of the pct. Wonderful video. Keep posting, we will keep liking because they are awesome. Thank you.
Such a great video, brought back so many memories of last summer watching you taking on everything the trail threw at you with a smile and a laugh and okay the occasional tear. You have set the bar so high for thru hike vloggers.
This was so powerful! Seeing the footage of your last mile made me ugly cry. I followed your journey on Instagram and it inspired me to apply for a permit to through hike the JMT this summer. And I got it! Thank you for being an inspiration to not just women, but people everywhere that might be hesitant to make a power move in their life!
You have given me so much inspiration to finally get my butt on the PCT. loved following you on your journey, hope we cross paths someday on the trails!! I live in Washington as well!!! You are my inspiration thank you 💕
Awesome interview Jen! I said it I don't know how many times, but you are an inspiration. I followed you from day 1 on your trek, and you just impressed and inspired the hell out of me. I was trained in my army service to improvise, adapt, and overcome. That mantra is what you lived out there for 6 months. You have all my respect. Hope to see you on the trail in the future. All the best, "Blaze".
One of the best hiker vloggers out there. Due to the depth of what starburst shared of her experience on the trail, it was easy to become invested in her. Truly a hike worth watching. We just want more 😎
So glad to see this! I was lucky enough to catch on to your videos when you were just a couple of weeks out of Campos -- what an adventure and what a great job you did in capturing the astounding beauty you were walking through. Thank you for all of your videos, which were so inspiring and uplifting. You showed so much grit and spirit all along the trail. I know you have inspired so many people to follow their dreams into the mountains. Well done!!!
Dr. Starburst Doolittle , the PCT's Whimsical Wildlife Whisperer ! Can't thank you enough for sharing your amazing journey , lived vicariously through you .
As a creative, knowing that the zone of enjoyment is the sweet spot for creating things which have great power, is always with me. You can excell beyond your dreams and help others with their own journey, when you are in your element. In joy being.
I watched your entire PCT hike but this is my first comment. Your trip was the very best I've followed on RUclips. This short documentary was fantastic and made me realize how much I miss watching your hike every day. I just loved your bubbly personality and your incredible toughness. Hope to follow you again on another adventure in the future.
great vid! the views were so absolutely amazing & beautiful, they almost match your smile when you recap them. beautiful, real, & honest. thx for sharing your journey
What an excellent video! In less than 20 minutes it captured the essence of a five month long hike. I really loved Dyana's comment about the impact you had on so many people. And that continues to grow as I see you have passed 15,000 subscribers. Congratulations!
Jennifer, this is absolutely beautiful. I watched your journey all the way through, so can connect your dots. This recap says it perfectly. Thank you for sharing your self.
Jennifer this video is so touching and memorable. I rekindled my joy in following your pct journey. May the universe continued to bless you in ways beyond belief. Beautifully shot and edited. Thank you.
Hi Jen, I've tried to explain to people why I watched your channel, so I used to say "pick a video and give it a watch" (they probably didn't). Now I can say - "watch this"! Nice professional production Dyana.
Just beautiful!!! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible journey. I waited for the next video everyday, even cried with you, and this was a pretty awesome recap.
I had to watch this again on your channel! I just loved this piece, and following you on your journey. Post journey too! Your family must be so proud of you! You have definitely left your mark in this world, here’s to more adventures wherever and whatever they may be! 💫♥️✌🏼
I just finished watching all your PCT videos and your are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and for being so honest. “Being proud of yourself and loving yourself just makes you like a force of nature” The Whimsical Woman “Starburst”
You were so natural the way you expressed yourself on the trail. Just like I was right there. Now on the Class of 2019 Facebook group, people are at the Southern terminus daily and posting those photos. They're so fresh and clean. It's exciting.
I chatted with her before she left. I was supposed to leave a couple weeks ahead . Didn't happen for me but I enjoyed the trail following her . When I do get on trail I hope she follows me so she can be out there again through my eyes :
Absolutely amazing recap. I followed you from the beginning and I will say you definitely inspired me to get my thru-hike permit for 2019. I am so greatful to have followed your journey.😁
thank you for sharing this amazing experience I followed you on youtube last summer during your hike. I so admire the courage and determination you possess , I rejoice in your accomplishment and hope you share more adventures
Such an awesome video. I'll never get tired of hearing talk about your PCT hike and adventure. I had to chuckle when you said "keep on keepin' on" because I just so happen to be wearing the t-shirt!
I had so much fun following your journey, not gonna lie I was a little worried about you during your hike and I am so glad you made it safely. Thank you for sharing your story, your personality is infectious and I love your spirit!
You are without a doubt my favorite thru-hiker. I don't believe I missed any of your videos. You gave me something to look at all the time except your necessary days off. A few times you were pretty down and having second thoughts, but you persevered.
Awesome video! You have inspired me so much, I have endometrioses aswell, I had a lot of surgeries in the past and sometimes I'm in a lot of pain because of it. But I will be walking the pct also this year. I hope I can be just as strong as you are! thank you so much for sharing your amazing journey with us!
The experience that will allow your future life to be so much more rewarding, you'll never fear anything else because the PCT let you know all things are truly possible.
I have been following you from start to end and this recap was awesome. I greatly admire you and want to do this hike too, it would be the greatest experience I could ask for, and watching all your videos showed me just how much I am missing.... perhaps someday if I want it badly enough that I will make it happen. Thank you for your encouragement and sharing it all.
I have watched your all of your trail and most of your other videos. I have always admired your sincerity and sweet personality, and your total courage and transparency of your fears. I have cried with you and smiled at your good humor and ability to adapt to adversity on trail. This video was exceptional!
So beautiful! The wild scenery and the thought of a long backpack trip, done by the most beautiful person on the Net, by me. Let's have the Whimsical Woman Movie!
@@JenniferMabus I only wish you and yours the best. May you go on, forever, spreading the gospel of the wild beauty better enjoyed on foot. Guess that you're not spending this year on another quest. May you have a safe and happy life, all the best to you!
I thoroughly enjoyed following your entire thru hike of the PCT,,and really loved your recap presented here......even watching again the clips of the different locales once again ,, drew out the emotions of seeing them for the first time......beautiful young lady,,you have and are the force as described......always,always ,, Stay Safe and God Bless..........
Starburst, so great to see you post such a wonderful vid. You have no idea what an inspiration you’ve been to me. I’m still watching all your pct vids and taking notes as I plan my own hike for 2020. I love your quotes “gratitude and self love are some of the most important things we can have in life” “Being proud of yourself and loving yourself just makes you a force of nature” you rock!!! PS. my Keep On Keeping On shirt is going to me my official town shirt lol
Don't tell my wife of 33yrs but I've loved you since I first met you on youtube. (Insert winky face) Your attitude and positive outlook has been my secret (engineering) workday respite. Thank you.
Only about 20% of thru-hike permit holders finish the entire trail in one season. You are a BADASS Starburst!! This is an amazing accomplishment! What an awesome recap of your fantastic adventure!
I think that was the best recap I've seen yet, well done!

Oh girl, thank you so so much. I am stoked for you. And you will be inspiring others to follow in your footsteps.

Her laugh, the most contagious laugh ever! and the crunch of her footsteps on the trail - no music - just 2000+ miles of footsteps. Wonderful.
Oh thank you :) that made my heart full.
Really well done, thank you! It's awesome to see people daring to chase their dreams and succeeding. Congratulations, Starburst!
Amazing Video.... I followed her journey on RUclips and she almost makes me want to do the hike.... An amazing woman.

I can't wait to see that! Make sure to get it dirty!! ;)
You rock Starburst! Glad you made it!
Excellent video...job well done!
Awesome job on the video!! I teared up AGAIN with you at the terminus.
I just love your videos. Keep making them ..
Great storymaker-storyteller collaboration ... a bit of trail-magic in itself.
Yes you did it! Congrats!
Great video, captures to PCT journey in a quality review from start to finish.
Yay!! What a great recap!
It's hard to stop thinking about your major achievement. Nice job. Your life will never be the same.
Great video, trail angels are the best.
Wow! Fancee presentation! I felt like I was watching a Mountain Film short story. Seriously, well done.
This was SO good!
Damn you. On my way to work crying my eyes out now. That was wonderful and you are an inspiration.
Hey Whimsy (Jennifer) 😁
Great video. Keep on keeping on! I hope you're able to get back on the trail again someday.
So glad you liked the desert so very much.

Don't tell my wife of 33yrs but I've loved you since I first met you on youtube. (Insert winky face) Your attitude and positive outlook has been my secret (engineering) workday respite. Thank you.
Tony Barber HAHAHAAH thank you!!!!
Badass fearless mountain woman. Prize is priceless experience and wisdom.
Thanks so much! And yes, I did learn a lot!
When did you start the Sierra? There is a lot less snow than in other videos I have seen of thru-hikers.
Gosh, I don't remember dates. But I was in Mammoth for the 4th of July! If that helps at all.
The name Starburst is perfect, because you have a colorful personality.
Thank you! :)
Wow - Great video!!!!!
Thanks!
I don't even drink alot of pop in real life.... But there's nothing better than a trail angel pop!
Amazing video! ❤️
Oh is that right!? ;)
Oh yea.
Ps you’re cute we should hang sometime.
Amazing!
Great vid well done!!!
