Slowest person ON THE TRAIL. Who cares if you’re slow or fast. The important thing is that you are out there! Don’t give up! You’re doing amazing things out there.
Any pace you set is faster than sitting on your couch with a bag of greasy chips and a plate of fudge....just have a ball meeting people....slow down when yu need to...believe me, no real hiker would criticize you for your milage....hike your own hike....nobodys countin....most just want you safe and having fun !!
Its not "Im the slowest person on the trail!" Dead wrong statement! The correct term is "I'M ON THE TRAIL!" You own it and you belong there, no more of that. I have spoken!! ;) #hikeyourhike
Hey, you started doing 3 miles a day. It took you 5 days to do your first 15 miles, now you are doing 10-15 a day, that is amazing. Sure, other people are doing 20-30, but I bet none increased there starting mileage by a factor of 4 or more. You are improving, and that is the real goal. Now, it would be killing your self to do 15+ miles, but at the start that was 4_ miles and that is a massive improvement. Keep up the good work. You are likely already past it now, but I just did ~24 miles heading south on the PCT heading out of Horseshoe Meadows near Lone Pine, it is stunning in that area.
We do the most damage to ourselves when we compare ourselves to others. We are all unique individuals on our journey’s, not ever to be compared to anyone else. You are only walking for you and you’ve come so very far. We’re all there with you cheering you on!
On the day of this video you'd been out for 130 days. You slept through cold rain, ran out of water, herendous winds, got sick, foot pain, body pain, but your still there. And you have a hiking partner. Absolutely life changing.
Second Chance. Remember why you're there. You said it yourself. Lose weight and get healthy. Check and check. Your progress is amazing and you're still a huge inspiration.
My man. You’ve already heard this from many of us and we aren’t just “copy and paste” commenting...you do you. You’re kickin ass and you’re 800 miles ahead of everyone too scared to try. I look forward to seeing your videos every day. Keep truckin bro.👊💪🏻
Do a reality check on your pace and daily distances. Those hikers logging 20 plus miles a day are hardly regular people. They are mostly young athletes, pounding down the trail too fast to see much except the trail right in front of them. Lots of them will develop problems that force them off the trail. Ten miles is a long way. Invite any of your friends from the real world, to come do even one leisurely 10 mile day. They will be asking you to slow down, take a break, their feet will hurt. And they won't be carrying the extra 100 pounds that you carry 24 hours a day. You are doing amazing. Your still out there. Thousands of fans and followers are really impressed are what you are accomplishing. You are the man
dan melenka I wouldn't be too hard on them. I love Dixie. She can log huge mileage, and also post nice video of insects, wildlife, sunsets. She seems to enjoy her hikes. Still I thinks our point is valid.
Over 23 thousand subscribers and this being his first long distance hike definitely puts him ahead of the pack. Most long distance hikers have to have at least one of the Triple Crown hikes (AT, PCT, and CDT) under their belt and attempting the second leg before that get even close to that amount of subscribers. Speed and distance per day isn't important to most of us. It's his tenacity to stay on the trail and keep trying to reach his goal, which in the beginning, wasn't to be a thru-hiker (complete the whole trail) but to lose weight and gain back his health.
You are such a good interviewer putting the focus entirely on the interviewee- perhaps that might play a role in your future. Your humility and determination continue to inspire us all.
2nd chance, I’m in the Midwest currently attending a funeral and you are on the trail. You are the inspiration for those who cannot hike anymore and those who plan to hike as I. PCT trail days is ahead of you and your rendezvous with your followers who walk with you every step of the way. Pace your steps, take a zero but do not give up or give in. 😀👋🏾👏🏾😊👌🏾😃✌🏾
I weigh 130 and I’m sitting on the couch watching you hike 700 miles!!! Don’t get down because you are out there crushing it and we are all so proud of you. I love when you are just talking to us, being real, being you and just chatting with us telling us about your day! You’re amazing! 💜
Don't concern yourself about what distances others are doing! Only think about what you are trying to do. You do need to push yourself to achieve your goals. It is great that Little Bee is there to keep you moving when the miles on the trail seem long. That IS what you need when you need it! You should be thankful that she is there to help. Look what you have done and how much you can now do! Keep going and you WILL be making twenty miles a day. Stay strong.
Keep listening to your body. You have done so well to this point. This hike is your hike, not anyone else's. Look back at yourself when you started. Your transformation is incredible! I see you as someone to look up to, even if you aren't a fast hiker. Your will is strong. And seriously, when you get to WA, I would love to meet you.
Wooohooo! 700 miles! The quote on today's page of the Best Self journal that I use says, "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. - Confucious" Clearly that was placed there just for you on this video's release date, Corey, and for all of us that are drawing courage and inspiration and group power because we relate to being slower, carry more weight or baggage, dealing with the extra complexities that our situation brings to the journey. Watching you navigate when to push yourself and when to honor the pain and take more care is a beautiful gift. Thanks for sharing yourself so openly so that we can learn along with you!
Dude, you walk more in a day than I do in a week. Don't beat yourself up. Man that burger looked good. That'll cure some hiker hunger. Best wishes. Keep putting one foot in front of the other.
SC, Dude! Your hiking the trail, your doing it. Speed has nothing to do with it. It's the experience, it's your story, it's your adventure. It's all about you living. There is no where else you could have met so many interesting and wonderful people. I am just so thankful you allow me the excitement of following you on this adventure. Your laugh is infectious, that and your tender soul is what drew me to watch along. My first hiking lessons were from Uncle Sam, long before you were born. I would enjoy hiking with you any day.
My first knowledge of the PCT is when my friend's mom did it in the late 80's. I wish that I could ask her questions about it but I lost track of her. I would buy the book if Andrew publishes it. Don't worry that you're slow. You're not slow. There are people that walk faster than you but the trail is about you and the trail along with those that you meet. Thank you for sharing your journey. Hike on and be safe.
Doesn't matter if you are last - you're doing it! I have so much admiration for you! Let yourself have fun, and you will be fitter and skinnier every day.
I guarantee that you’re walking much faster than lots of people who are cheering you on from RUclips. I haven’t been able to walk for the last 7+ years, and I really, really miss backpacking and hiking, your videos mean the world to me.
Everybody copes with pain differently. Don't be so hard yourself. Your doing great. Look how far you've come since you started. Its a process. Its a journey. Don't worry about how you measure up to others expectations only yours, is the one that counts.💜💜💜
Dearest Cory, People said you couldn't. People said you wouldn't. YOU PROVED THEM WRONG!!! Who cares if you don't walk another step on the trail (even though I know you are) it doesn't matter one bit. YOU"RE A HERO! YOU"RE A CHAMPION! and I LOVE YOU! I'm beyond honored and happy to have finally met you in Kennedy Meadows. I hope I get to see you again. I'm SO SO PROUD OF YOU! Sending you love, hugs, and support as you continue your journey north. ~ Mary @ 2 FT PS: Thanks for the shoutout!
Don’t sweat those other hikers! You’re doing great! More than a 1/4 way completed! You’re accomplishing more than many of us who only wish we could be doing that!
Mad respect, SCH! I have been waiting for this day from day one and you’re there - Kennedy Meadows!!! So freakin’ awesome. Loving your journey and hope you get a few days of rest before you press on. Thanks for sharing the ups and downs of the trail - you are amazing 👍
A similar project was done for AT hikers. Photos (black and white) were taken at Springer Mt. and then Katahdin . The contrast was amazing. Another fella photographed himself every day for 5 years as he trekked across China.
Your story, your hike, your performance shames all who sit on the sofa and say "I can not, I'm too fat"! Your 1st victory was to get youself on the way! Your second victory was to get this far! 👍👏✌ The slowest on the trail? Did you want to be the fastest? Set a new record time? 😮 And let's face it, you were slower at the beginning! 😉 It would be a pity if you forget what you have achieved! And you are way ahead of millions of people who never just try to hike the trail!!!
So proud of you. You are such an inspiration. You should be so proud of yourself. Don’t worry about speed. You are carrying more weight than everyone else. Continue to listen to your body and try to enjoy the journey instead of worrying about miles. And don’t listen to the haters. Enjoy your burgers when you get a chance. You’ve earned them and can worry about healthy eating when this is done. Through hiking is not about healthy eating. I’m sure you will work on a healthier diet when you return home. It’s not really easy to eat healthy on the trail and you should be able to enjoy good food along the way. You look great:)
Wow, I can't put into words how inspiring you are to me. No one on the trail has improved more than you. Maybe others are faster. But they started skinny, they started fast. From where you began to where you are now, you blowing those others out of the water w the amount of positive change. Well, and it doesn't hurt to have a nice female hiking friend as good motivation either. Wooohoo!
Hey brother, even if your the slowest person on the trail, remember, your still on the trail coming up on month 5. I have been very surprised at how many other youtubers have dropped of the trail this year, some after several hundred miles with no explanation. Your mental toughness has shown through this far and you will do what you can do. Congratulations on coming this far towards your goal. I look forward to every video.
I am watching you and IBTAT on the PCT and 2 people on the AT. You are by far my favorite. Your videos are the high point of my day. Thank you for your videos. Your attitude is amazing. You are increadible
I am so glad you understand that if another hiker was carrying 5 packs they might be near what you are carrying. Also you get to meet everyone! You are such a good person. The PCT is very lucky this year.
Great video Cory, thanks for sharing your pain and exhaustion with all of us. I did have to chuckle a little...just wait until your 65 and hiking... it really hurts. But with a smile and the inter glow you get from wild places.
Hike your own hike i guarantee they would be slow if you packed a additional 100 pounds into there pack. I understand as someone who was once 400 pounds and now 220. You are a inspiration keep it up.
You may be slow but you are also incredibly strong. I bet you have the strongest legs on the trail :) You are doing it exactly right listening to your body and taking it at your own pace. I recall from a previous year a video where hikers were talking about what an incredible achievement it was to make it all the way to Kennedy Meadows. Congratulations and keep hiking your own hike. Best wishes to you and all the other hikers. :)
Don’t worry about being the caboose. That’s me too! I don’t do well with heat and don’t push to keep up with others. But I ALWAYS get there...eventually. Hike your own hike. ❤️ PS you’re looking good! 👍
Cory, if I were out there, I would be the slowest, but I’m not out there, YOU ARE, which is so inspirational and awesome. As cliche as it sounds, “Hike your own hike” and don’t compare. Look where you started, and how far you’ve come! Like WOW!! You got this! Signed, @LateLifeHikerWife
I think he skipped the Sierra (for now) and jumped up to Oregon. Too much snow at the time he was there and too dangerous to attempt it. It's still hard enough for him to make these steep uphill climbs no need to add a foot of snow into the mix.
I just binge watched all of your videos to catch up to your posts! 😂 I refer to hiking as Secondary Fun. In the midst of my trek, Im hurting, sometimes miserable, sometimes bitching or complaining....but once I'm resting for the night, in my car heading home, or looking through my images of the adventure once I'm home I am like "OMG...what an amazing day! Can't wait to plan my next hike!". 😂 We all have those...ALL of us, Cory. You're doing sooo awesome, and we are all sooo incredibly proud of you! SEVEN HUNDRED!! Holy smokes, my friend, you are crushing the miles! One foot in front of the other...just remember...you are closer to Canada than you were yesterday. 😁❤🙆♀️💪⛰🥾
Please just do you....it has worked for 700 blooming miles. Stop and think of that , it is amazing! I also follow IBTat and he was so stoked when he got to Kennedy, it amazing for someone to do that. Be proud of yourself and keep doing YOU. You inspire me😘
LOOK AT YOU! Walkin' the walk, talkin' the talk, killing the goals and setting new ones! You've come a long way, baby! (700 +!!)...and the beat goes on...I told you long ago that one day you would be the strongest hiker on the PCT because of the extra weight that you have carried all this way, and it is diminishing as your strength increases still!! Push through the pain when you can, Brother...and di what you do best...listen to your body and hike your own hike! So proud of what you accomplish on a daily basis!! Keep on keepin' on!
I dont like seaweed but I mix all kinds of stuff with my comfort food smashed taters!! You are doing amazing, it's so nice to have someone to hike with, you are getting healthier by the step :)) You just have to hike your hike, you are learning that although the yearning to hike with others is pushing you beyond your limits.
One more thing---the dry heaves thing could be an unbalance of electrolytes. When you sweat a lot in the heat you lose a lot of salts. The seaweed was definitely a good thing to help counteract that.
Congratulations on 700 trail miles. Great milestone . I know your vids are a month behind and you’re farther up trail now but seriously job well done✌️
@@papermoon1chasing/keeping up with the one you're infatuated with. Typically involving males, its not always thinking with your brain. ;-D All us guys succumb to it at one point or another...
@@johnhouchins3156 off the trail it usually involves "the lure of fumes": perfume. On the trail there is not much perfume unless it was a female you meet at a trail head.I have to admit I miss the richness of the odors that hikers give off- to a point. I have never heard the term "pink blazing"- I do like it.
Just gotta say---you are doing AMAZING things! You are very wise about the process you are going through, from understanding your pain, to pushing yourself when you should...but not too hard!
What an accomplishment! Wow! You proved so many people WRONG! But most importantly made yourself so proud, proved to yourself how strong you are and accomplished a tremendous feat! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Bravo!
Don’t fret on speed and what others are doing! I know it can be frustrating but your doing great and remember to hike your hike! or many get caught up in the miles and miss this enjoyment of the trail! Your an inspiration to so many!
👍👍👍👍👍You know, for the last few years I have watched some heavy folks start the trail. It is a dream of mine too, so I was hoping to see someone else be successful. They always did a few videos and then fizzled out. It is great to see someone like you who has the determination and great attitude. Makes me feel like, if I can get it arranged in my life to go, then Ill make it too. I am going through a healing process from an injury. It sucks, cause my energy levels are ahead of what my body can do most of the time. But pushing beyound what one is ready for sets you back in the long run. Go at your own pace, trust your instincts, they have been right on so far. I know it sucks, but you may just have to let them go on ahead and hope youll see them later. If it is meant to be, it will happen. And you have a bunch more folks to meet anyway. Keep on trekking!
Keep up the good work Cory, so proud of what you have accomplished so far, (700Miles) how many people can say they have done that so just keep your eyes on the goal you set and enjoy the journey.
you are the rockingest hiker on the pct! You are all heart and backbone and my wife and I both absolutely love you, My wife says you are "A REAL man" quote. I think you are awesome> Keep up the good work!
I love watching your videos . Don't worry if you are the slowest . You are out there doing it . Enjoy it . I don't think I could do it so I watch you dreaming of one day hiking with my daughter . I am way older than you and have had four foot surgeries . Don't give up, but go your own pace. It's your adventure . Hugs coming your way ❤️ Love your beard ! ❤️ I would defiantly buy the book
Cory, just a heads up. From mile 0 to mile 700 you already have had an incredible transformation. Physically and mentally. You clearly look much different and you’ve gained an amazing amount of confidence in yourself my friend. Keep going Cory keep going.
Sir Second Chance, Howdy and best wishes! I hope you realize just how important you and your trip has become to so many of us. We are amazed at the effort and positive transformation. I look forward to each video. Keep on "Keeping On". Travel safe.
You may be slow, but you have done something that I will probablly never do, took that first step from the border and made the commitment to hike the PCT or at least as much as you had the time for.
G'day from Australia. I've been following for a while now. I'm a slim reasonably fit guy, and the PCT would whip my ass completely. The mental and physical strength to do it would crush the vast majority of people, even outdoor types like me. The fact that you just cleared 700m is crazy. Keep on keeping on dude.
Congrats on 700 milestone. You are carrying some extra weight. Remember the inches are melting off of you. Listen to your body and act accordingly. Stay safe, well & hydrated. Enjoy your journey. That was one monster size hamberger. It was interesting watching you attempt to bite into that beast. WOW a travel trailer shop. The People Project...wait for the book to be published.
Slowest person ON THE TRAIL. Who cares if you’re slow or fast. The important thing is that you are out there! Don’t give up! You’re doing amazing things out there.
You're way faster than you from trail day 1, and you from pre-trail days.
It’s you racing, well, you. And you’re winning! Remember, right, left, right! Skillet
Hiking to Change I totally agree. The tortoise always beats the hare. Second Chance has to set his own pace to conquer the PCT.
Any pace you set is faster than sitting on your couch with a bag of greasy chips and a plate of fudge....just have a ball meeting people....slow down when yu need to...believe me, no real hiker would criticize you for your milage....hike your own hike....nobodys countin....most just want you safe and having fun !!
Jimbo h exactly!
Dude those other guys “ live to hike”
Your” hiking to live”
Your killin it ! Hike on
Amen Double D. 🌻
You win the best comment of the series. Seriously if others only knew the personal battle Corey is fighting.
You’re faster than everyone on the couch!
This right here.
I'm gonna put wheels on my couch.
BethWood01 exactly!!!
Soooo True !
700 miles more than we have.
Can you believe it? 700 Miles. Who does that kind of crazy? You do. To hell with the other hikers say. YOU do your hike. It has gotten you this far.
Its not "Im the slowest person on the trail!" Dead wrong statement! The correct term is "I'M ON THE TRAIL!" You own it and you belong there, no more of that. I have spoken!! ;)
#hikeyourhike
Exactly!!!!!!
A slower pace means you have more time to appreciate the beauty around you. That's not a bad thing.
Hey, you started doing 3 miles a day. It took you 5 days to do your first 15 miles, now you are doing 10-15 a day, that is amazing. Sure, other people are doing 20-30, but I bet none increased there starting mileage by a factor of 4 or more. You are improving, and that is the real goal. Now, it would be killing your self to do 15+ miles, but at the start that was 4_ miles and that is a massive improvement. Keep up the good work.
You are likely already past it now, but I just did ~24 miles heading south on the PCT heading out of Horseshoe Meadows near Lone Pine, it is stunning in that area.

You slept through cold rain, ran out of water, herendous winds, got sick, foot pain, body pain, but your still there.
And you have a hiking partner. Absolutely life changing.
Second Chance. Remember why you're there. You said it yourself. Lose weight and get healthy. Check and check. Your progress is amazing and you're still a huge inspiration.

You're doing something awesome. Any reasonable observer should be regarding you with profound respect.
Not the fastest but the most famous PCT hiker.
Over 23 thousand subscribers and this being his first long distance hike definitely puts him ahead of the pack. Most long distance hikers have to have at least one of the Triple Crown hikes (AT, PCT, and CDT) under their belt and attempting the second leg before that get even close to that amount of subscribers.

Jack Luge Jr and electrolytes!!
Yes. Drink more water with electrolytes.
Fast, young, fit ...... brother you're getting there. Keep on truckin & Little Bee, you are the business too!!!!!
2C WOW ....... some beautiful footage!!
You are doing a great job. You are the master of your life. Keep going at your pace. Keep trekking
I am so glad you understand that if another hiker was carrying 5 packs they might be near what you are carrying. Also you get to meet everyone! You are such a good person. The PCT is very lucky this year.
I can't hike long distance because of a spine disease, so this is the only way I'll ever see most of the PCT. Thank you for going slow.
So proud of you brah!!! You are a total PCT gangsta!!!!
You are the most inspiring hiker to me no matter how fast you go.
When you are done you will physically be the strongest man you know. I am proud of your accomplishments, as we all are. Great work ^^
Kennedy meadows! WHOO HOO!!!! Congratulations!
Damn 700 miles....
Strength and Honor. !!
Great video Cory, thanks for sharing your pain and exhaustion with all of us. I did have to chuckle a little...just wait until your 65 and hiking... it really hurts. But with a smile and the inter glow you get from wild places.
Hike your own hike i guarantee they would be slow if you packed a additional 100 pounds into there pack. I understand as someone who was once 400 pounds and now 220. You are a inspiration keep it up.
Brother, don’t be so hard on yourself your doing amazing, and are a great inspiration for more people than you know. Keep it up....You Rock!!
You’re looking great! Don’t worry about your speed... take good care - you’re my inspiration!
Congrats on hitting 700 miles. Hike your own hike and hang in there. We are proud of your accomplishments.
You may be slow but you are also incredibly strong. I bet you have the strongest legs on the trail :) You are doing it exactly right listening to your body and taking it at your own pace. I recall from a previous year a video where hikers were talking about what an incredible achievement it was to make it all the way to Kennedy Meadows. Congratulations and keep hiking your own hike. Best wishes to you and all the other hikers. :)
700 WOW that is amazing!!!!!!! Congrats!!!..
Don’t worry about being the caboose. That’s me too! I don’t do well with heat and don’t push to keep up with others. But I ALWAYS get there...eventually. Hike your own hike. ❤️ PS you’re looking good! 👍
Cory, if I were out there, I would be the slowest, but I’m not out there, YOU ARE, which is so inspirational and awesome. As cliche as it sounds, “Hike your own hike” and don’t compare. Look where you started, and how far you’ve come! Like WOW!! You got this! Signed, @LateLifeHikerWife
Nice job getting to Kennedy Meadows! Goodbye oven, welcome to the freezer! Be safe out there. I’m rooting for you!!
I think he skipped the Sierra (for now) and jumped up to Oregon. Too much snow at the time he was there and too dangerous to attempt it. It's still hard enough for him to make these steep uphill climbs no need to add a foot of snow into the mix.
700 miles is a long way. Big love, big guy. I'm cheering here in Australia.
Great job Cory. Kennedy Meadows..... what a great accomplishment. Keep hiking your hike.
I just binge watched all of your videos to catch up to your posts! 😂
I refer to hiking as Secondary Fun. In the midst of my trek, Im hurting, sometimes miserable, sometimes bitching or complaining....but once I'm resting for the night, in my car heading home, or looking through my images of the adventure once I'm home I am like "OMG...what an amazing day! Can't wait to plan my next hike!". 😂
We all have those...ALL of us, Cory. You're doing sooo awesome, and we are all sooo incredibly proud of you! SEVEN HUNDRED!! Holy smokes, my friend, you are crushing the miles!
One foot in front of the other...just remember...you are closer to Canada than you were yesterday.
😁❤🙆♀️💪⛰🥾
Congratulations on 700 miles! To all of us following along, you are a hero on an extraordinary journey.
You’re rocking it! This is your journey and you are in control.
Please just do you....it has worked for 700 blooming miles. Stop and think of that , it is amazing! I also follow IBTat and he was so stoked when he got to Kennedy, it amazing for someone to do that. Be proud of yourself and keep doing YOU. You inspire me😘
LOOK AT YOU! Walkin' the walk, talkin' the talk, killing the goals and setting new ones! You've come a long way, baby! (700 +!!)...and the beat goes on...I told you long ago that one day you would be the strongest hiker on the PCT because of the extra weight that you have carried all this way, and it is diminishing as your strength increases still!! Push through the pain when you can, Brother...and di what you do best...listen to your body and hike your own hike! So proud of what you accomplish on a daily basis!! Keep on keepin' on!
I dont like seaweed but I mix all kinds of stuff with my comfort food smashed taters!! You are doing amazing, it's so nice to have someone to hike with, you are getting healthier by the step :)) You just have to hike your hike, you are learning that although the yearning to hike with others is pushing you beyond your limits.
U are such a positive inspiration!! As other commenters have stated…hike ur hike at ur speed….u know what’s best for ur health.
Well done you have accomplished so much already. Love when you do interviews. You have a real skill for that. That hamburger was well earned.
That hamburger looked great, too!
Congrats on 700 miles, well done and enjoyable videos, thanks for taking us along.
One more thing---the dry heaves thing could be an unbalance of electrolytes. When you sweat a lot in the heat you lose a lot of salts. The seaweed was definitely a good thing to help counteract that.
Congratulations on 700 trail miles. Great milestone . I know your vids are a month behind and you’re farther up trail now but seriously job well done✌️
Always listen to your posts first! I enjoy your posts. Keep on hiking your hike!
Pink blazing will hurt you quicker than anything. Go at your own pace Brother. You are doing great.
What's pink blazing?
Trying to maintain the pace of another that does not match your own, especially that of a female you fancy.
@@papermoon1chasing/keeping up with the one you're infatuated with. Typically involving males, its not always thinking with your brain. ;-D All us guys succumb to it at one point or another...
@@johnhouchins3156 off the trail it usually involves "the lure of fumes": perfume. On the trail there is not much perfume unless it was a female you meet at a trail head.I have to admit I miss the richness of the odors that hikers give off- to a point. I have never heard the term "pink blazing"- I do like it.
@@williambranham6249 Oh dude, pheremones, don't you think?
Just gotta say---you are doing AMAZING things! You are very wise about the process you are going through, from understanding your pain, to pushing yourself when you should...but not too hard!
What an accomplishment! Wow! You proved so many people WRONG! But most importantly made yourself so proud, proved to yourself how strong you are and accomplished a tremendous feat! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Bravo!
Don’t fret on speed and what others are doing! I know it can be frustrating but your doing great and remember to hike your hike! or many get caught up in the miles and miss this enjoyment of the trail! Your an inspiration to so many!
Now that’s a burger! And you earned it! Can’t wait to see Andrew’s book. Buddy, you are the best!!!
Wow! I’m amazed that you are still going. You have incredible fortitude and are an inspiration for so many people. Journey on!!!
Been with you from the start (vicariously ). Effin Amazing.
👍👍👍👍👍You know, for the last few years I have watched some heavy folks start the trail. It is a dream of mine too, so I was hoping to see someone else be successful. They always did a few videos and then fizzled out. It is great to see someone like you who has the determination and great attitude. Makes me feel like, if I can get it arranged in my life to go, then Ill make it too. I am going through a healing process from an injury. It sucks, cause my energy levels are ahead of what my body can do most of the time. But pushing beyound what one is ready for sets you back in the long run. Go at your own pace, trust your instincts, they have been right on so far. I know it sucks, but you may just have to let them go on ahead and hope youll see them later. If it is meant to be, it will happen. And you have a bunch more folks to meet anyway. Keep on trekking!
Don't give up! You are a badass! I look forward to your videos!
You're an inspiration! Keep it up, and I'll keep watching!
You are doing amazing things! Keep on hiking! You 🤘
Keep up the good work Cory, so proud of what you have accomplished so far, (700Miles) how many people can say they have done that so just keep your eyes on the goal you set and enjoy the journey.
you are the rockingest hiker on the pct! You are all heart and backbone and my wife and I both absolutely love you, My wife says you are "A REAL man" quote. I think you are awesome> Keep up the good work!
Wow, 700 miles. Keep going!
Slowest hiker on the trail = Still on the trail. Florida's favorite son darlin. You so got this. 🌻
Don’t worry about others, this is your adventure wring as much fun out as possible.
I love watching your videos . Don't worry if you are the slowest . You are out there doing it . Enjoy it . I don't think I could do it so I watch you dreaming of one day hiking with my daughter . I am way older than you and have had four foot surgeries . Don't give up, but go your own pace. It's your adventure . Hugs coming your way ❤️ Love your beard ! ❤️ I would defiantly buy the book
700 Miles. AWSOME. Very well done.
Congrats on the 700 miles!!! Keep up the great work!!! 👊👍✋
You need to do your own hike. Don’t sacrifice your hike to be with others. You do great at your own pace.This is YOUR hike.
You inspire me. Walk your own pace. You are doing great! I wait for your video's and watch every one. Keep it up.
Cory, just a heads up. From mile 0 to mile 700 you already have had an incredible transformation. Physically and mentally. You clearly look much different and you’ve gained an amazing amount of confidence in yourself my friend. Keep going Cory keep going.
Sir Second Chance, Howdy and best wishes! I hope you realize just how important you and your trip has become to so many of us. We are amazed at the effort and positive transformation. I look forward to each video. Keep on "Keeping On". Travel safe.
You may be slow, but you have done something that I will probablly never do, took that first step from the border and made the commitment to hike the PCT or at least as much as you had the time for.
G'day from Australia. I've been following for a while now. I'm a slim reasonably fit guy, and the PCT would whip my ass completely. The mental and physical strength to do it would crush the vast majority of people, even outdoor types like me. The fact that you just cleared 700m is crazy. Keep on keeping on dude.
Just let the trail com to you one step at a time. It’s not a race. You’re doing awesome!
Congrats on 700 milestone. You are carrying some extra weight. Remember the inches are melting off of you. Listen to your body and act accordingly. Stay safe, well & hydrated. Enjoy your journey. That was one monster size hamberger. It was interesting watching you attempt to bite into that beast. WOW a travel trailer shop. The People Project...wait for the book to be published.
