Thanks for covering the search for Kris Fowler, and for helping! Also, thanks for covering the trail work crew! Crosscut trail work is my favorite trail work (certified sawyer).
This summer flew by for those of us watching you and the other hikers! Thanks for filming and to the Editor for her hard work. It's been better than anything on Netflix and fun to pause and go google places, gear and plants and stuff. The SoCal portion of the PCT is in my back yard. I've spent a year at my family's cabin in Big Bear and for the first time I realized what all those people walking around town with backpacks were up to. I've always been aware of the trail but didn't think I could do it. Now, I'm determined to thru hike but maybe start with the AT first because all the places there would be new to me. I'm reading books and bookmarking gear recommendations. Probably a lot of your followers have been doing the same! You've inspired a lot of us to either try something new or to go back to the stuff we loved when we were younger. I used to hike and climb but age and a body that can't be seen in a sports bra has made me self-conscious and low on confidence. I had it in my mind that if you aren't a size 6 and don't have all the cool Patagonia stuff you can't get out there. But you really can, right? We all can. P.S. Kate Cloud (Feathers) has some incredible mushrooms in her last Vlog.
I love how Second Chance Hiker's 'Adventure of a Lifetime' has made it's way into my heart. I look forward to seeing his videos every week. The fact that we all get to sit on our asses and watch him work off his.. is awe inspiring! We are all so lucky to be able to see the love story of Cory and Little Bee transpire...not in some fake movie ... but in real life! The donations I give to the cause is my business. Never has he nor Little Bee asked me for money. I have fallen in love with them from afar and plan to keep giving and watching. To the the Neigh Sayers I say "beat it"! or rather Verpiss dich!
Thank you for focusing on Sherpa. I was involved with Sally since he disappeared. I've provided a lot of education trying to help others be prepared for those just in case moments. You've embraced the HYOH philosophy which I thoroughly appreciate. I too am a cherry picker and believe having fun trumps just walking to walk.
Just found you! I have gone back to your first video.. I just wanted to say how proud I am of you!! I'm 61 and I want to hike the PCT myself.. You are such an inspiration to me!! 💖👍🤗
It's been a pleasure to follow you and see your life change each day, but more importantly changed in such a significant way that there is no going back! That takes courage. Cheers to you and Little Bee.
I believe people see the news about hikers who disappear but it's human nature to think "it will not happen to me". I used to hike alone and took one potentially dangerous spill. Scared the heck out of me . I was being careful and was almost in sight of the parking lot. I tripped on an exposed root and down toward a wooded ravine I went. Trees and rhododendron stopped me. It didn't frighten me until I realized what could have happened. Having someone with me would not have prevented the fall but had I needed help it might not have been available otherwise. Do not hike alone. A few years ago a lady hiking alone on the AT in the deep woods of Maine disappeared after going off trail to potty. Her hiking partner had just left to go back home. She was found 2 years later near her tent with her last words in a diary. Very sad.
@@Slowhand871 Yes, as her story was told she had been using a GPS locator device but decided when her partner left that she would not continue to use it.
You look good, bro. Definitely not the same person who started the trail. You have been an inspiration to so many people, and I hope you have been inspired to complete your transformation. I may not know you but I am proud of what you have accomplished!😁
If you get a chance Cory hike the J section, it’s really beautiful through the Alpine wilderness area. So many lakes to see. That section is roughly 74 miles
I'm absolutely proud of everything second chance has accomplished so I'm not down playing at all everything he's done so I don't want anyone thinking that by my saying I wish he was going to complete the entire thru hike!! It's still a BIG BIG DEAL!!! way to go second chance!! Hugz
Glad your doing well since your injury. Want to say you look like a new man compared to Jan. Awesome! Keep it up. You should be proud of your accomplishment!
Love following your adventure. Remember even though you are changing on thr outside remeber to stay the same on the inside. Stay humble! Hope you plan another hike, would enjoy seeing more.
You're doing well with what your body needs right now. Taking it easy but still hiking helps heal body mind spirit :) Hopefully you'll find warmer areas for shorter hikes this winter!
Yay!!!! Cascadians! Shout out to my local Yakima group.... will share this with my friend who can show this video to Jerry, her husband (the one in the orange helmet clearing trail).
I hope you make it back down south to do the San Jacinto section. We'd love to see you again. Best wishes with whatever you decide to do. -- Papa Joe --
I got to meet you at the search for Kris Fowler at Chinook Pass. I wasn’t part of the search party, but was able to provide some Trail Magic my first time, which was very rewarding, and I plan to do it again. I also got to meet you, Sally, Marcia and Cathy Tarr, which was a high point. To meet these people I had only “known” online was epic. I only wish they could have gotten some answers! Take care, Cory, and be well. Take care of that back, so when you get to be my age you aren’t all crippled up. Hike on!
Thank you as always, Corey. You have NO idea how much it means to be able to see some of your hikes :) I love doing yoga but miss being on a trail so much. Kind of have a thing about mushrooms... was given ipecac for licking a toadstool at around age 3 or 4 so have this inherent wariness... By the way, you look great, dude!
So happy to hear you have finally figured out how to say MOUNTAIN... lol... just teasing, glad to see your back is much better, and you're back to enjoying trail life... Keep on truckin'
I would stop at the boarder of Washington, then go back to the Sierras. If people knew how many people disappeared in these wilderness areas , they may change thei4 minds about hiking alone. The Park service recommendations are to not hike alone. No one listens.
Mark Viereck Novices think just because they’ve hiked some long distances that somehow it prepares them for blizzards and icy conditions. I agree with you. Winter camping in the mountains is a whole different ball game.
Hi 2nd Chance that orange shirt was just what you needed to find littleBee she could not miss that big flower shirt. Hahahahahahahah happy hiking stay strong hike on.!!! JoP
You look so fucking healthy. Like, it's night and day from the start of your adventure. Wishing all the best luck for completing your journey. You're an absolute inspiration. :D
Having a hard time keeping up. You look like you're ok after your ordeal with th helicopter, hope you are not afraid of heights. Good luck to you, I always knew you'd be a big success.
Dude, I'm pleased you found someone who makes you happy and I wish you both the best but I think Little Bee might appreciate some time and space to concentrate on her hike. Go do you for a little while and reconnect when she's finished the trail.
It's so hard to tell for sure, but I kinda agree. She seems like she wants some space. She went there to hike her own hike. Sometimes loving someone means giving them some freedom. Pure conjecture, though. 🤷
Those who skipped the high sierra this year did so for safety concerns. The snowpack up there was at record levels this year, making hiking through that section dangerous to hike through. Safety trumps everything when in the wilderness.
Return Of the Mac so sorry, we both were so tired by the end of the day, sometimes it is just exhausting to pick up the camera. Even today I would love to have filmed more but also had to make the miles.
I don't think you've changed inside. You're still sweet and caring. You kept your goal in sight even though you really wanted to go to that lake. You planned an alternative "just in case" cowboy camping while on the move, which shows your growth. It was charming when all the mountains looked like ice cream sundaes to you, but it's still charming when you look wistfully at a pristine mountain lake three times and can appreciate why it's special and stay on trail to catch little bee - especially after you totally missed her "I have a bike" *hint* when you brought up biking a Florida trail, smh, (on the live QA which I just watched) how could you just totally miss that??!
Cory, you are looking great. So fit. Sorry there was no footage of your reunion with Little Bee. Where was she, when did you find her, what tree did you hide behind. "Looking for Little Bee" and then poof she was just there.
He Man, it's okay to mis her. Even if she loves you she will go back to Germany and you will have to wait till she will return....or you go to Germany...live is beautiful, you're smiling,singing.Live the moment,and don't stop loving life. Hugh you
Jimmy Johnstone You never know! The biggest obstacle is she wants me to live in Germany and I want her in Florida, we need to compromise and live 50-50 in each place🤗
@@SecondChanceHiker whilst Trump is in power... There is no doubt that Germany is best. I know you have kids in Florida so probably that is a big consideration.
Enjoyed following your journey but this pink blazing thing is driving me nuts. Get your mind back in the game and finish the trail. Little Bee will be there when your done. By the way you are looking great!
True. He's no longer focused on himself or the trail. No more stories about him, which I loved. Wish he'd stop focusing on Lil bee while on camera. And of course neesa is independent. She is and should be. She came to HIKE the pct. Mexico to Canada. So did Cory til he slid and got injured. But he and she seem to be interfering with each others hikes. Imho
Agreed. Am happy for them that they have found each other, it's very sweet, but I have been doing a lot of skipping around in these videos recently, since it became about pink blazing rather than more focused on the PCT because it's a bit awkward to watch something like this.. I want to be happy for them but instead am over here just hoping it all goes well and that she's genuinely okay with this level of attention being put on the internet about her by this guy she met on a trail. As long as it's all fine with everyone though
Just read this, gross, so much entitlement, trying to control my story, you stay on the trail for 9 months before you get to talk how I should tell my story, throws up!
Boy, I can't even begin to tell you what a pleasure it is, sitting in the dark late at night, wearing headphones so I don't wake anybody up...... and there you are, mumbling into the microphone..... and suddenly you start bellowing at the top of your lungs like a wounded buffalo. My eardrums thank you. Seriously..... You were off trail all that time and you couldn't put two and two together and figure out that yelling into a microphone might hurt someone's ears? Thanks.
Started out strong but became a little too needy for my tastes. His entire hike became about pining for Little Bee when she wasn't there and his mood was always dependent on her. Just my opinion but this began with his journey shaking an unhealthy obsession and he just exchanged one obsession for another, in this case, a woman.
Is she angry with you? You spent 20 minutes with this build up of meeting up with her and she almost jogged away from you and wouldn't even look in the camera. What's up with that???
@@aeropilot4419 She hasn't been in any of the earlier Second Chance videos, nor has she been shy in her own. This is the first time, she didn't even look at the camera, nor did she participate. Shy or not, that is very strange.
Gal Vagabond by the time we both met she was especially tired and in pain. And my feet were killing me. Hike 20 miles I can understand not wanting to be filmed? And The focus was to make the miles to get off the mountain. Even yesterday My feet hurt so bad she carried my backpack for me 2 miles so we could finish. I filmed a lot in the morning but by mid afternoon The last thing I wanted to do was take out my camera when in pain. It sucks as it’s nice to have a beginning middle and end to the story. I know little bee is crazy about me and I her. We really haven’t left each other’s side much since May 6th. Going Live today with little bee can ask questions there too 🤗❤️
😂 i didn‘t realize it that i didn’t look in the camera. Sometimes it is nice just to enjoy the trail and take a moment for yourself 😘 and no it looks really a little bit strange that i just hike without anything to say 😅 it is real and not a tv show- don‘t forget it😉

Second Chance Hiker Anybody know what’s up with his going live? Maybe tech problems?
@@majcherj1 waiting too ....
They are trying to connect now.
I tried to watch and the live video has disappeared.

You started out hiking the PCT. Now you are chasing a B through the flower fields.
Bless you for helping his family. Since he's been missing I've followed the search and hope he's found.

To the the Neigh Sayers I say "beat it"! or rather Verpiss dich!
I'm notorious for making bad puns & silly jokes. Sir Puns-A-Lot is automatically my favorite hiker you've interviewed.
What wonderful guys who maintain the trail. Hugs to them. 👍👍👍🙏🏼💕

You are still young. Oldest person to walk the PCT is 68. You can do it!!! Would love to do it myself, 59 this end.
Finally! Mushroom shots! Boletus, Ganoderma and Muscaria! More nature shots please! I'm living vicariously through you. 😃🤗
It's been a pleasure to follow you and see your life change each day, but more importantly changed in such a significant way that there is no going back! That takes courage. Cheers to you and Little Bee.
