Thank you ladies. Fantastic story!
"I rather be bored here, than anywhere else" I, loved that. I agree!
I love that it took until Washington the second go round to discover that she like going slower. We never stop learning about ourselves and by extension our hiking style.
It's so funny to watch this! I drove her to REI from scout n frodo's house and I took that picture of her n the "pack she couldn't close". Good memories :) cool that I found ur channel n u 2 r friends.
So glad to finally find a video on Heaps. I asked John Z for a Routes Pod featuring the chipster, but this is way more insightful. Cheers from the UK, ladies! (Big luv to John Z too)
I am so glad I found your channel. You young people are keeping me young
I smiled the entire video 😁. Both of you are great. So glad I watched this and I'm sending it to my daughter who is on her solo AT thru hike as we speak. Best always
Cheers to you and your daughter! 💜
Nice one this was brilliant!!! Heaps is definitely kick ass amazing human what a character 🙏, Great interview and congratulations to ya both for completing the PCT 👣📸
So heartwarming ! So encouraging ! Thank you Mesdames.
I enjoyed watching and it was simply wonderful, great good stuff.
Thank you both
Love you both. Great video. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see you out on the PCT. Make it a great day.
Thanks a bunch!
So good! Very inspirational with good vibes going. I hiked TA 3 years ago and loved every km of it. Enjoy!
Wonderful interview. You’re both so inspirational! Good luck! 🍀
Met Heap the summer of 2018 in Cascade Locks. she was always posting funny shit back then. Good times.
Fun and Fine conversation. Subscribed and following now :) Great tips. Thank you for sharing
It was fun seeing you hike with John Z
Sooo behind on this. Sounds epic. Better catch up on all the episodes.
Ooh you have a lot of watching to do then! :)
Out of this world!
Nice interview. Thank you, Heaps, for sharing your journeys. Congrats on two times! Amazing! 👍
Cheers Karen!
Go well Mari wishing you and Nick good vibes from back home Aotearoa 🏔🏕
Cheers Ric!
I met Heaps in NoCal, she was very impressive. I hiked with her for a little bit, but our paces were not the same. She was doing 50s and I was only doing 30s. She is an impressive lady. --Rant
Wow. Heap's backpack. Looks superlight.
Hi Mari, great video. I have often joked after achieving any huge thing to go back to the start and see if you can do it in faster time. However, I am now seeing a lady who has actually done that on the PCT. Wow!!! Well done Heaps!! I am in shock. The PCT is a very long hike and doing it twice, should put her in the Guinness Book of Records. I am actually waiting until they open a walking trail from Melbourne Australia to Wellington New Zealand. I believe there is a trail, but I have heard that it is a bit flooded at the moment!!! LOL. Anyway, wishing you the very best. Robert.
ha that would be quite the walk! You might need some scuba gear :)
I do the trail near my house hundred times...it just happened to be 6 miles.
Great interview!
Really great interview! New subscriber! Happy trails.
A 12 pack of blue ribbon.... Awesome 👊😎
Yeah what a badass 🍻
I love that she hikes in a dress! Great interview!
@nadine narita Yeah same! I want to try it sometime!
That 12 pack was awesome. I love PBR. I wish I knew how to take a still from a video. That 12 pack picture would go to all my hiking friends.
Thx for the great interview.....
@@johnmca5643 you can take a screenshot! if you have mac; command+shift+4
Wonderful insight from someone who's been there and done that. As the thought of walking more than 1 hour away from my driveway is just a waste of time to me, and now I just watched a person more crazy than you Mari. I do mean it in a nice way, I enjoy the experience of watching people who are passionate about what they love to do. From this video, there is no way I would survive with her backpack, 2 days tops, seriously.
yeah she's very inspirational!
Philip Taramai yes, what Phil said! 👆🏻
Slow is THE way!! 👍
Great interview!! (51mi!!!)😎
Yeah epic! Cheers!
Slow yet light ... seeing the growth in confidence via her gear selections from 1st to 2nd thru-hikes.
I really wanted to click the links to follow Heaps but the link doesn’t work. Neither does the link for her gear list work. Can you help me with that?
I listened several times but couldn't undrerstand what her favourite meal is? "Cold soaked instantry fried beans and chips in mayo perkins". What did she actually say? 17:43
Instant refried beans and mayo packets 😊 Cold soaking is the method of cooking that doesn’t require a stove.
Yup
Good interview
"We didn't go camping because we didn't have a lot of money"
LOL i found this statement sooooo confusing
Where I come from, people always said "We didn't have money growing up to go on vacations, so we just went camping"
Like I can't quite wrap my head around this.
In her world, camping is expensive?
Getting bored after thinking about everything twice over ... good way to describe it
What was the tan bag you had in this video? Nice looking day bag......
The record for hiking the pct is 13 times (took 15 years)
51 miles??? Wow. Great insights!
7,000 hikers foraging for food for five or six months would be totally nuts 🤪
I hike the p.c.t. in 91. Im working on doing it again, either in 20 or 21. Also I'll be attempting it with my 3 kids who are currently 10, 8, 6.. Any advice? BTW we hike a lot
I love the idea of hiking but cant get past the whole bathroom issue and hygene issue. Im thinking that whole interview about doing toilet business behind dessert bushes and how the heck you girls can make that a non issue?? Full respect to you and HEAPS. You ladies are wild 🤙
Also, HEAPS! need to know why?, the trail name?
John Eason I follow her on Instagram and I think she said it was bc she’s a kiwi and they say heaps a lot in nz. Kind of like people who are from Massachusetts/New Hampshire/Vermont/Maine area always say wicked in reference to a lot of something
Hey Mari. I’m an adventures person who likes travelling. Just need some advice and tips on backpackers travelling. Thanks 😉
🤔
Cute girls doing some wonderful things. I love it.
Thats a feat!
Are you going Southbound then?
Nope! Northbound 😊
@@mari.johnson When are you starting?
Wilderbound The channel has no content?
Very interesting. You can tell the Pro from the Amateur. Heap's has scared banged up knee's, sorry to say Mari yours looked plain old clean. lol
Haha guilty! 🙈
