I hiked the JMT in 1983. I’m now 73 with Parkinson’s and the memories of your trip brought tears to my eyes. If there were anything in this world that I would like to do, it would have to be the JMT once again. I have also hiked Alaska, Canada and Japan but there is nothing like the JMT. The PCT is for the ego, but the best most beautiful part you have done.
Bill
Hello Billnjune, Thank you so much for that Great comment, sorry to hear about your Parkinson's and i'm glad that my video brought back some wonderful memories,
The JMT is truly a remarkable trail and am glad I get the chance to do it again on my SOBO PCT hike. you say you would like to do the JMT again but physically can't,
I'f you have not watched my day to day videos on the JMT, I would highly recommend them to you , I've been told by many people that watching those videos actually feels like there hiking the trail with me because there by far the most detailed videos of The Entire JMT on the Internet
Here is a Link to My 22 day to day Videos on the JMT

Hope you will enjoy watching them and get some sense of hiking the trail again.
Thanks again for the great comment Bill Hope your doing well.
Cheers.

As you know, the snow levels in the Sierra's are record breaking. I might recommend the CDT as it is more beautiful in very adventurous in my opinion, whether you do it S to N or N to S. It is nearly impossible to do in one year but if you break it into two years it will be more enjoyable.
70lb backpack and I didn't hear you complain once....you are the champ
Damn Bro ... 2 hours 17 minutes and 15 seconds ....!?! and I *enjoyed* every second of it .... !!!
Thanks Anthony Mask, I'm glad you liked it man!
JMT is amazing. Most of the sierras are amazing. Big granite slabs with streams running over them and majestic mountains. I did a lot of back packing in the sierras back in the 1970s, I can still remember hiking for days without seeing another person.
I think this is the best JMT video I've seen, thank you for putting this together. It's real and not too much intrusive music like some!
Thanks LastStarFighterAJ,
I appreciate you taking the time to comment, I`m glad you liked it so much!
You do such a good job on your vids. Just the right mix of scenery vs persona, stills vis motion, and the music is awesome. Thanks.
Thanks Lora Who, I really glad you like the videos.
Awesome job man! Thanks for all the work you put into this. My wife and I are planning to do the JMT and greatly enjoyed watching.
Thank you for posting this... Really enjoyed watching!
Thank you for sharing a beautiful video journal. Your innocence and gratitude shone brightly.
Thanks for filming the hike. Ray
Best video of them all! You're awesome bruh!
What an outstanding job sharing your journey on the JMT....Ive never done it and probably never will....Ive never hiked very much and just turned 70....if ever I could hike I believe the JMT would be a dream come true....I have to admit my eyes watered a bit as you finished at the portal...."enjoy every single step of your journey....the hardest step will be the last one" jh.
Wonderful video of the JMT. Really enjoyed it. Probably the best video of this trail I have seen. Very good photography with slow pans and enjoyed that you put on the screen the names of places. I appreciated that YOU were very down to earth and not acting stupid as some people do in their videos. You had great weather also. You will never forget this hike. Thanks for the long video so we could enjoy all the scenery. Thanks for making this and posting for all to see.
I really enjoyed watching your work on this video, amazing and very well documented. Thank you so much for sharing with the world. I'll be flashing back to this video when I find myself doing the JMT. Two thumbs up for you dude and happy trails :)
Dude that is one hell of a hike and an awesome video, can't wait to see your PCT trip,hope your having a great time. Thanks for the beautiful scenery.
Amazing video, a pleasure to watch, well done!!
My favourite JMT video now too. You are there enjoying the nature... not punishing yourself as so many seem to do.
Amazing shots. Love all the cute hopeless romantic arrangements of cones and such. Very campy... perfect fit for this campy audience :)
Thanks, glad you liked the video, Happy Trails.
Wow what an adventure. Awesome footage. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks pitre1202, it sure was a great adventure! I just finished hiking the PCT form Canada to Mexico and will be making many vidoes from that trip aswell.
Glad you liked the video, lots to come in 2018
Thanks so much for posting your wonderful video! Your positive attitude, constant awe (and video shooting/editing skills) are much appreciated! Keep posting!!!
Thanks ImaKnottGonnaTelu, I appreciate the great comment!
Lots to come!
That was truly awesome to watch! What a blast! Excellent job with the hike and the video!
Thanks man!!
This is an awesome video, you did an outstanding job shooting and narrating it - thanks!
Thanks David.
Man I cant thank you enough for sharing this video with us. You brought back every memory from my JMT hike. I cant think of a better video with this content. Its also refreshing to see a fellow hiker like yourself who isn't scared to carry a little extra weight on your back. I cant wait to see your south bound PCT video. Safe travels bro.
Thanks for the Great comment Jerry, I`m really glad you liked it so much
Happy Trails.
Quite the hike. A very inspiring video and really makes me want to hike the JMT. I have spent so much time in Yosemite Valley/395 corridor and the video reminds me of all the open space and beautiful country in the high Sierra. Thanks for posting.
SUPER COOL! Thank you for all those hours of editing work, man!
Thanks Brian.
Great video! You do such a nice job with your filming - love the views and the smiling comments! You have a fun and refreshing attitude! You are also very informative! Good luck with your next venture and can't wait to see the videos you share. Lots of hard work!
Thanks for the awesome video! I love how you are like a kid in a candy store out there!
Man I was confused when you crossed the Nevada Falls bridge and headed down! I thought you made a wrong turn. Glad you took in the Yosemite.ite sights before blasting up the JMT.
I just did 4 mile to pano to JMT to happy isles a few weeks ago. Epic!!
Great work, subbed!
You've done a great job. I did the JMT about 17 years ago (58 now); done a fair amount of hiking in the continental US and Alaska and nothing has beaten the JMT for sheer beauty.and views. Hopefully I'll do it again in the next 3 or 4 years. This year is shaping up to be a high snow year. Good for the state but I'll pass on the hike. I've hiked a lot on snow and it's sooo much more effort. Thanks you the very nice video, pics and editing.
Thanks Robert, Hope you get a chance to get out on the JMT again soon, Happy Trails my Friend.
Wow the SUN RISE ON Mt Whitney thank you for showing me it I hope to see it one day with my own eyes!!
I spotted John A resupply food container, John A has some of the best video on backingpacking.
Good luck on your PCT adventure just remember only 5 FISH PER DAY. JoP
Wait, you photographed Can't Hike 55's Reeupply? lol that is awesome! Great video. Going to check out the detailed ones as well.
Looks like you had an amazing adventure! thx for sharing.
Glad you liked the video Jeff, it sure was a lot of fun!
I'll be hiking the JMT for the first time this coming July 28, I'm getting super excited and your video was a great insight into the trail. Thanks
Thanks Artfully Rogue.
Amazing as always. Thank you for doing this. You inspired and helped me on the CT this past summer. Now I want to do the JMT! Have a blast on the PCT!
Thanks chrisestus, I`m happy my videos have inspired and helped you to get out and hike on the CT
Have a blast on the JMT, it really is an incredible trail, if you have any questions about the JMT i`d be glad to help.
Happy Trails My Friend!
Loved all your videos and commentary. Was so fun to see how enthusiastic and excited you were every day! The CT videos were extremely helpful as I've been planning my 2 week section for this July. NOBO starting at Monarch pass on collegiate west north to Copper Mountain. Then, summer 2018 we'll be doing the JMT!
Thanks for all the effort on the videos, not only fun and entertaining, but very very helpful for planning!
Thanks Jamie Walters, I'm really glad that my videos were of help when planning your CT trip, Hope you have as much fun as I did, It puts a huge smile on my face when i get great comments like yours,
That was exactly why I spent all that time and effort into these videos, so it would help others with visualizing what there getting them selves into, and for the planning as well.
Again Thanks for the great comment and if there is anything i can help you with let me know i'd be glad to help out a fellow hiker.
Cheers and Happy Trails
Buddy... awesome.! I'm doing the jmt 08/17 an you totally inspired me even more than I thought was possible.i suffered a chainsaw injury in 2014 an vowed to do something with my life . started hiking an found out about the Sierras so I had to go. can't thank you enough. there's a lot of videos out there like yours but man your transparency is so motivating.great job filming.good luck on the pct.
Thanks Ricky Bobby, I'm glad you liked the video, hope you have a blast on your JMT hike.
Fantastic documentary bro. Great job.
Thanks! It sure was an epic trip!
Great job on the JMT video...can't wait to see the PCT ones!
Thanks mikfinne, can`t wait to start the PCT!!
Awesome video man! I’ll be out on the JMT this June and then on a thru-hike of the PCT a few years later when I get out of high school. Thanks for sharing
That's Awesome! You'll love it so much! Thanks for following.
Your a true explorer thanks 4 bringing us with you aloha
Cornelius, great stuff once again.. Thank you. Let us all know when you're off to your next adventure on the PCT.. Maybe a pre-hike video, gear, timing etc. Have a great summer !! Jim
Thanks James, I will be doing a gear video before I fly to Washington, I will be hiking the PCT Southbound in beginning of July depending on the snow levels.
Awesome video!!!! Thank you for sharing your adventure!!! I will be hiking the PCT in 2018..... start date 3-19-2018.... can’t wait!!!! Thank you again....
+Steve McMillan, Good luck my friend, thanks for watching, many vids go come in the new year!
Great accomplishment
That fire is scary stuff, encountered a wall of flames as it came up a mountain and started down a steep canyon wall towards us at Nachez River in Wa, we were exploring the river after setting up camp, we could smell smoke but it did not hit us hard until it started down the wall, while turning around a helicopter dropped down to the river right on the side of the road by us and filled a bucket and took off. Rocks and stick flying around us, Scary, scary. Drove back to our camp, was over 15 miles away but left anyway. Smoke not good for anyone.
beautiful hike...im hiking the AT NOBO in Feb.
Great video! You did what every person should do when hiking the JMT...you enjoyed it, based on your big smiles and comments, and took in all the great views. I hiked parts of the trail, north bound, last year with a friend and she took zero time to enjoy the views, even though I was the one who was on a time restriction. I'm going back next year...solo! lol
Anyways, great video!
Thanks for the great comment Danny, Glad to hear your heading back on the JMT, and also glad to hear your gonna head out to enjoy it.
Take many breaks and take it all in my friend, you will never regret it.
Kudos!!! Well done ! Happy Trails! What a accomplishment !! Im proud of you and dont even know you!. There were parts that gave me the chills . Thats rare shit! Wish I could shake your hand mate. Peace
Thanks Kirk I appreciate the great comment, it sure was one of the best times of my life.
I will be hiking the PCT this year staring in July and can't wait, I will be making many videos of that trip too.
Thanks for watching and Happy Trails my Friend.
Peace
Loved it! I hope to do this hike in the next year or so. A little more AT next month, Maroon Bells loop in September and GC Escalante route next spring. You sure had a great time. Good luck on the PCT! Can't wait to watch!
Thanks Ray. All the best on your adventures.
Happy Trails.
You must be a VERY tough guy (or even superman) to climb all these mountains and passes with a 70-pounds-pack on your back! 😎😁 Worst thing I ever did was a week of backpacking with about 17 kg (that's 37 pounds) in my pack... and my hike was in Germany, so no big mountains around!
Great review
You need to set up a Patreon account so that those of us that so appreciate the time and all the filming that goes into these videos can in some small way show our appreciation
Great to see you back on our screens again.another superb video .what have got planed ? Here's wishing you well in everything you do and all the best from england
Thanks Jackie, I will be Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Canada to Mexico in July of this year, and will be making a big series of videos from that trip as well, kinda like the videos I made for the John Muir Trail and the Colorado Trail, Thanks for following Jackie.
Well done mate! I wish I could join to you !
I did a cross-Sierra trip in 2013 on the High Sierra Trail. I agree with you. That downhill from the summit to Whitney Portal is brutal and exhausting. It seemed to take forever. The Portal was like a mirage, getting farther and farther away with each step.
This summer I'm doing the JMT, but my plan is to camp at Trail Camp or Outpost Camp.
Best of luck on your SOBO PCT!
Thanks J.D. Goodwin, Ya that sure was a long down hill hike from Mt Whitney.
Have fun out on the JMT this year, what month are you going?
I'm setting out from Happy Isles on 4 August and will be doing it in 21 days +/-.
Glad to hear your taking your time, its so beautiful out there and it's good to take the time to really take in all the amazing views and may I suggest doing some fishing on your trip.
Happy Trails
Good editing that still showed what the trail is about. I particularly appreciated actually seeing what the steps on the Golden Staircase are like, thank you. You are the only videographer who showed the steps and not just the switchbacks. Since that was my greatest concern I am now vastly encouraged that they will not trouble me. I'm 76 female planning a NOBO August/Sept 2018 What a great trip you had. and great filming. I do have a QUESTION. I jjust bought a Go Pro and will get extra batteries. How many would you recommend for filming daily. I will also have a solar charger.
It's very nice video. I want to go again. Take care ~ Subscribed ^.^
Wow, what a fantastic journey you had on the JMT! And your videography was excellent, as you captured so much of that incredible scenery. The forest fire scenes near the beginning, and the deer running downgrade were pretty intense.
Although I never actually hiked any of the JMT, or PCT, I guess I was unknowingly on tiny segments of it, because I used to ski at Mammoth Mountain, and then fly fish all over the place up in that general vicinity, including Reds Meadow, Hot Creek, and all sorts of other places including Bishop (Upper, and Lower Owens River), and Big Pine Creek.
All the success doing the PCT, and I'll have to look at your channel from time to time to check on your progress.
Question: What camera were you using for all your [selfie] hiking hiking segments? And were you using a selfie stick, or was their an attachment to one of your trekking poles?
I hope you got your permit for the PCT. I got mine for April 25 of this year. I hope to see you there. Happy trails.
Hi Asghar Nowrouz, I will hiking the PCT Southbound leaving beginning of July, Hope to see you out there!
Awesome
u got the music youngin
Homie should be on Imax theaters this
as an aspiring ultra runner, i have an urge to run the JMT. it almost looks doable. put a couple aid/check-point stations at various points and i think we've got a 211 mile ultra run race!! one that will rival the ultra runs in the alps of Europe. wonder if some day someone will organize an ultra race event of the JMT.
That would be really cool, I ran my first Marathon a few weeks ago and loved it! Next goal is a 50km+ run
if everything goes as planned i will be hiking the jmt starting july 30 from glacier down the panorama trail which might be my fav hike in yosemite that or upper yosemite falls ...i actually camped on the top of clouds rest which was an amazing experience...sleeping bag right under the stars
Sounds amazing!! Hppay Trails and all the best on your hike.
@@HurlgoatHiker thank you i think it will be an amazing experience
Awesome video HurlgoatHiker. Thanks for sharing and all the time and effort you put into filming and editing!!! Looks like you had an awesome time. The views were amazing. I volunteered at Sequoia National Park last summer and now looking forward to my NOBO in August - starting at the Giant Forest Museum and the High Sierra Trail.
Question: Some days you seemed to really pack in the miles - could you give us an idea of what you typically ate every day? Liked/didn't like...
Thanks, I'll keep a lookout for it. Wishing you well for the PCT!
Ovidiu - In 2013 I did HST and JMT NOBO starting from Crescent Meadow and finishing Happy Isles. I have one word of caution: plan a slow re-entry. Spend some time in the valley. Take day hikes. I did not and had some bad depression upon re-entry. It is not uncommon. Sincere best wishes. billqualls.com/survival/hike2013/index.html
Hi HurlgoatHiker, which camera did you use for filming? Thank you.
I have never seen anyone enjoy the trail so much... EVER!!! Young Dude.... Old School Soul... Hike your own hike!!!! I don't care what your base weight is... or your opinion on that... That was refreshing... Thank you for sharing!!! we need more of those videos, and less with videos relating to Oz's and grams!!!
Thank you....
Thanks John, I watch a ton of gear vids and your right everyone is more worried about weight than anything else and although it is very important to think of your base weight, for me it is more important to be Comfortable, Eat Well, and be warm when I want to be warm. Happy Trails.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I watched all your videos when you first posted them, and this full condensed version is great! Looking forward to your adventures on the PCT. I am doing a NOBO JMT hike myself this year in mid August, I cant wait, being out in nature really is good for the soul.
In addition to your gear video you plan before the PCT, Id be curious to hear what allows you financially to do these longer trips- do you have a really flexible job? or do you work part time in a year and save up then take the time off to do these adventures? I would love to do something like the PCT or Appalachian trails, but I found even getting 3-4 weeks off for the JMT challenging at my current career /stage of my life. Just curious to hear other peoples situations and stories, life is short and its great that you take advantage of your time and resources to make memories and live big. Cheers.
Hi Thejoeb, we'll be hiking SOBO at about the same time - look for 3 old guys! We should meet somewhere in the middle....
You are 3 lucky guys...I applied for sobo for over a month and all I got was 42 permit application denials in my email for my trouble.. decided to get creative and do the nobo route. Hope to cross paths with you guys on the trail!
Since we're going in opposite directions we are almost certain to cross paths. What is your first name so I can ask as we meet other NOBO hikers?
Its Joe B. See you out there.
Hey I love your videos. I’ve watched many. But I can’t help but wonder how and what you use for battery power/recharge? Solar system? I’m amazed how much footage you seem to shoot. Not sure if you covered that in a video before. If so I would love the link. Thanks in advance 😃
I just charged my batteries in town and had a power bar yet. At first I started with a solar panel but the power bar worked out so much better for me. Had multiple batteries for each camera.
I'll be taking a GoPro Session 5 on my August 2017 JMT. I am a complete newbie at taking digital video. Of all the JMT videographers you seemed to document an extreme amount of trail compared to the others. How many SD cards/gigabytes did you fill on your JMT trip? At the moment I have but one 64Gb card. Your response will help me decide the amount of SD memory I need to plan for. Thanks! Chris.
Hello MrDrDemento, I had close to 700 GB of SD's for the CT and the JMT but only used around 280 GB for the JMT, but like you said I usually capture a lot more than others and that's including all the time lapses and stills.
On the PCT this year I have well over 1TB, but I will be capturing all my video in 60 frames a second or in 4K.
hope that helps,
Happy Trails!
70 lbs?? I sure hope your couch is included. god bless your back brother LOL
serpantseed08, Yes that was pretty heavy but managed really well. I just finished a thru hike of the PCT from Canada to Mexico, and lightend up my load by over 20 pounds and im glad i did for it was over 2600 miles of hiking.
Thanks for watching
Hi bud I LOVE the hiking trip I hope to hike this trail and do a lot of FISHING, as YOU KNOW THE LIMIT WHERE YOU WERE FISHING IS 5 per day, please don't over fish and don't take the little ones JoP
1:41:00 beautiful lake
I'm planning on hiking the JMT this summer. I'm trying to get an idea of what trail conditions might be like by watching a variety of videos. What is the date range of your video?
+Richard Shields,
Sept 3-5 to Sept 28
Awesome video - and I love your joyful enthusiasm through out the hike! Would you mind sharing what video recorder/camera you used? And what are you planning to use on the PCT?
Thanks Maryann, I appreciate the kind words!
I used a Sony AS-15 Action Camera and my Sony DSC-HX300 with 50x optical zoom, I used them a lot and bought 2 new Camera for the PCT,
I bought a Sony FDR X3000 Action Camera and a Sony A6000 Mirrorless Camera, I really like both and they will bring my video quality up a fair bit.
Thanks for Following and Happy Trails.
The A6000 is a great little camera. I took it up Whitney because I didn't want to drag my beast - Canon 5D Mark III.
what was your start date? I'm so ready for summer and all this snow to melt. High Sierras are calling my name!
Sept 3.
Happy Trails
HurlgoatHiker thanks you too
Great vid. My brother and I did the JMT a few years ago, it was amazing. What kind of bait, lures, or flies did u use?
Thanks barnum99
I Used a few different flies and a bobber because I had a casting rod, I had a bit of water in the clear bobber and had around 2.5 feet of line behind it, with a fly at the end of the line.
The one I had the most luck on was a black slender fly that sunk under the surface a bit.
70 lbs, did I hear right for your pack? What were you carrying so heavy? At trail head mine will be about 32 to 35.
I was wondering if he said 70kgs. 70 pounds is ridiculous.
hey man, love the videos!
what brand and model is your solar charger?
Hello Joe, My Solar panel was a GOALZERO Nomad7, it worked really well for me, but now iI have purchased a ANKER 21 Solar Panel, it works better and it's cheaper and ligher.
Looking to do the JMT in the future with my daughter. How are the trails on both sides of Mt. Whitney, Narrow path with cliffs on the side, or are they more of a steep slope. Thanks
Hello ThePreineja, Only twice that remember that the trail drops on both sides besides that it was a slope on one side and the trail is very well made.
Happy Trails!
Thanks for the info. Happy Trails also to you.
I absolutely love the video. Best one documenting the JMT that I have seen. I hoping my two daughters, 14 and 15 will want to hike it in the next year or two if we can get a permit.
I apologize if you've mentioned it elsewhere but which did you enjoy more the CT or the JMT?? Seems to me you liked the CT Trail more?? But I assume your money was more then also??
Hello Mark Thanks for watching, I really liked both trails, I gave myself more than enough time to hike both trails and would rather spend my day off on the trail than in town
Because i missed my original flight I had to buy another one which was pretty much my entire budget for the JMT, but it all worked out and had the time of my life on both trails, but If I had to choose one than I kinda liked the John Muir Trail more, I really liked walking by such huge granite walls, and all the beautiful little lakes hidden high up in the mountains,
I hiked it in September which I highly recommend, amazing weather and a lot less people on the trail.
Well I really enjoyed both videos. Keep having fun and videoing. Your a smart man getting in all these great experiences while your still fairly young!!!
Then the Bozeman and camped out at my friend John’s place, allow the 11,000 fees as high as I’ve been
70 pound pack?!?! Daaaammmmmmnnnnn
Hello Stephan,
Yea after a 6-7 day resupply and 2 liters of water my pack was 70 pounds but I am no stranger to hard work and in all reality I managed it really well, I live like a king out there haha, my pack for the PCT will be around 55 pounds hopefully.
Thanks For Watching.
Next time buy a windcover for camera microphone. Overall it was good video... I mean trip.
Please hire me, are used to live in Bozeman and been up pretty high, please hire me
Man, I’m almost 30 yeah I can breathe easier than that
I will help you capture videos, please hire me, I will pretty much work for free, I’ve never seen nothing like this and I want to go
Pie-ute
Why did you call me that?
Good call, David Cooper!
I loved the hell out of your vid. But my only complaint with your vid as well with most others you guys show absolutlely nothing of night time camp life. Dinner, coffe, fire. Just almost nothing. Why. You guys do realize half the time is night right? The constant day time grind has to have some kickback time as well. This is where all your guys videos fall short and loose thousands and thousands of full length views just like me. Awsome video though. Next time put some night time dinner campfire talk into it. You make your viewers think what your doing is a full time grinding job and thats where you loose many of them!!!
Hi Joseph, your right I should done more camp life videos and clips, that was my first time ever capturing video, talking to the Camera and editing video, I did learn a ton on that trip.
I hiked the PCT SOBO last year and made a lot of end of the day camp videos in that series. I'm editing day 165 now. Thanks for the comment and Happy Trails.
