    Yay! Hikers. Glad you finally caught up with the tail end of the bubble! This section seems very dusty and dry. It was good to see some trees for a bit, and a little patch of snow.

    Just amazing to watch your hike. You make other hikers look like they are walking at the speed of turtles, ha ha ha, just a joke. Thank you for taking the time to take some very cool video footage. That rocket launch was very impressive to see. Brings back memories when we were able to watch the space shuttle go up and actually could make out when the 2 side booster rockets would separate off, and we live in Florida 250 miles away from Kennedy Space Center. Those are becoming too many close calls with those rattlesnakes for our taste. Wonder how many more you have been zooming by during you night hike, when the snakes are even more active. If you already encountered a snow patch there, we are wondering what the Sierras might still have left for you.
    Be safe and happy trails.

    Amazing nature beautifully captured! I love seeing mountain ridges. Such beautiful sunsets and sunrises.
    But too many rattle snakes and black widows for me. I don't know what snake gaters are but they seem to be a good idea. I don't like venomous animals. It is cheating to inject digestive fluids before you have even killed your prey.

    Nice of the US to name a mountain after Sir Robert Baden-Powell, but should really have a Union Jack flying there as well as the stars and stripes.
    Jaru, leave the snakes alone, they don't want to play with you, 😜
    But remember, you can always catch one and eat it for the moisture, if you need to go a bit "Bear Grylls".

    I am surprised people never wear snake gaiters. I guess they are to hot. I think for the desert 🌵 section it would be worth the discomfort. Does anyone know if they make a gaiter that’s not super hot and light? Good luck and stay safe. Watch those snakes. I think trying the calendar year triple crown completing each trail makes that goal much more difficult. Have you ever considered a sun umbrella? I known in the wind they suck but they can be a complete game changer. Take care

      I’m actually done with the desert section. No snakebites. The ability to accurately discern likely and consequential risks from unlikely risks is critical to success on this journey. There is such little mental bandwidth available, that bogging down on low likelihood risks is equivalent to quitting. Rattlesnakes are statistically not a concern on this journey.

    Some initial comments since I'm probably going to comment more. I apparently have no life ha ha.
    You might be out of the heat now but if you are not, here is a little heat tip for your next resupply. Maybe you don't need this tip, since you did 36 miles with heat and altimetres. If it is too hot then I attach an emergency blanket to my hat and fold it out over me like a cape. It makes an enormous difference. I tuck in the bottom edges where they can be tucked so it doesn't catch too much in the bushes. It has to be loose around you. Best attached to a hat because it has to be away from your body not to trap heat. The rustling drives you insane even on a windless day but I prefer cool and insane over way too hot and sane until you faint.
    And about the bacpack and the water bottles ... is why I don't by an expensive pack because I have to remake every backpack I have to make it at least less stupid. Modern backpaks, even when they bragg about "trekking", are made for people who want to take loads of clothes, 66 cl water and 10 müsli bars for a stroll in the park. And they want you to pay hundreds of pounds for that useless rubish. Those stupid stupid low side pockets with elastics. As if they never saw nature and all the stuff you have to crawl over and under, all the bumpy paths you have to run down, bushes you have to be caught on and sun you have to be baked in.
    Or is it like in your drama about the killer trees? "I have it on the highest authority that these here backpack designers .. they KNEW!" For designing the loss of your water they might have to sit in the sun by a stream for 3 days without drinking.
    Especially upset because I have recently been trawling the web for hours in the hope of finding a half sensible backpack. One at least NOT designed to drop your water. Found nothing.
