I’m 61, lost my husband this year, and am headed out on PCT this year
How did it go?
i guess I am kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released series online?
@Jaxx Mateo I watch on Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Archer Musa yea, have been using FlixZone for since march myself :D
@Archer Musa Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!!
I don't know how many European fans you have out there but there's a Dixie addict here in Brussels! I think I've almost watched all of your videos, they are so helpful and motivating. I just want to get on a plane and hike the AT and/or the PCT.
Dixie addict from Ghent!
Perk's wet beard shake is magnificent.
Jason Blair Yep! Totally agree. It reminded me of my dog's jubilant shake after a good swim 😉
The Cleaning Teacher lo
Yep, that beard ain't ultra-lite.
Heavy beards not hygienic.
Perks wet Beard shake in slow-motion is Awesome!
someday this will be me
Amanda and me! :)
and me !
Amanda and me. :)
I am adding myself to this list as well. :)
hahahah I got a good laugh out of Mayor waving behind you in that shot. And that sushi looked excellent!
Haha, he's a ham! The sushi was excellent and a pleasant surprise :D
Way to haul and catch Mayor. It is funny how he told people to tell you he was farther along...and jogging... AND THAT is when the competitive gear kicked in... LOL
Haha. I think he was hoping for the opposite reaction. He learned how my mind works 😉
I had to laugh as you were going by all the other hikers. You could feel the chase was on! Hike on!
How has the water availability so far? That is one of my weaknesses. I am a huge water drinker when I hike.
I would not trust sushi in a place like that. Probably one of the bravest things you've done so far! :)
This series is so inspiring, makes me wanna get out and hike! love watching Dixie every Wednesday!
Why don't you do it?
That beard shake was glorious! Also, welcome to California and our weather!
Her editor is really good.
That was so much fun!!! Thanks for thanking us along; awesome to see the Mayor out again, the best parts of hiking are our hobo nights, sleeping under bridges, in drain pipes, under picnic tables, in back of Food City, Tressel 18... whatever! One knows they've reached true hiker trash when they take a mini bath in the local sink (been there :-) Perk's shaggy dog shake off moment in the beginning was great, how does that man eat with that beard? I love you guys & your adventure and thank you again for taking us along!
Best music on any PCT episode yet. Keep it up.
Any idea who the artist is?
These videos have become the highlight of my week!!!!! TY DIxie!!
I love these videos you do such a great job on them. Congrats on the 300! do you do warm ups and cool. downs everyday, like stretching?
I very rarely comment on RUclips but I wanted to say how much I appreciate how authentic and real you are in your videos. Especially in comparison to some other RUclipsrs "documenting" thru-hikes. It's the reason I enjoy your content the most. It's about the PCT, it's about you, going through the experience of hiking it. No games, roles, or playing it for the crowd. Love it! Thank you for that and all the best on the rest of the trail!
Good job on catching mayor
Thanks for the warning about headphones. You're sooo right! I carry some, but I never wear them while hiking. Maybe in the tent before I drift off, or in town for sure. I used to wear them on the trail all the time, then while I was in Olympic National Forest I startled a full size male elk who was foraging just off the trail in a large bush. First either of us knew of it, I was within arm's reach of the bush, which started shaking like we were in a hurricane. Then the elk leaps out, higher than my head (I'm 6'4") and lands on the other side of the trail and squares off with me. Fortunately he decided I wasn't actually a threat and he bounded off in the other direction. That was about 20 years ago, and I haven't taken a step on trail with headphones ever since -- and I'm glad. Keeping them out keeps me tuned in to my surroundings more fully. Hiking is just a better experience without distractions.
Love the Louis L'Amour shout out. I always think of his stories when we hike in the west.
@5:14, lizard doing pushups. This is fantastic and the video production makes the story even better. I met some hikers at the PCT trail near Whitewater and just a few days ago a biker who mentioned that he had done the PCT in 1998. It changed his life completely.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback :D
This is so awesome especially knowing that your currently right here where i live
This is a come back for me, I've watched every one of Dixie's AT, PCT and the CDT episodes it would take a really strong hiker to out run Dixie. Anyone who could hike 62 miles in one 24 hour period has my total respect for that accomplishment, you go Dixie!
I think Dixie's in Love...
Awesome Possom.
I would do this but it seems like a lot of walking
Michael Furtado: 😊

Good job catching up to Mayor!!
thx for sharing & your commitment to the vlog! Wow! Of course Mr Perk is warm at night because of his amazing PerkBeard ! ! !
hot springs and sushi bar.... just another day on the PCT. Love your videos !
I hike here all the time, almost every day. I love it to pieces.
It's beautiful :)
Now that i just finished the vlog, I am so excited for next weeks!! Too good
Dixie - you exemplify vlogging done right! Positive, real, humble, no manufactured drama. Keep it up. It's fun to live your adventure vicariously and root for your success. -SOTAgoats
I'll be spending a week in the sierras next month and your videos are getting me so pumped! Nothing beats the therapeutic values of the outdoors. Rock on Dixie!
omg perks beard! I'm dying 😂😂😂 its like a shampoo commercial
Great Job! You GO, Girl!
Binging your pct videos on the greyhound on my way home from a six week long AT section hike that you inspired me to do. I had an amazing time and can't wait to get out there again. Thanks for your awesome videos!
Another good video! Thanks for taking us along.
I love how you are capturing some of the flowers and wildlife with the zoomed in shots. I really like how you are adding to the normal story telling of your hike.
okay the Army crawl,,,,,,PRICELESSLY HILARIOUS!
Used to go to Deep Creek a lot back in the 70s. Got poison oak every time. Caught lots of German brown trout there as well. I am loving your videos.
👍 My most favorite video yet! Y'all are too much fun! 😂
Diana Landers I
It’s convenient that Perk’s hat has a drain hole in it. Beautiful Perk slo-mo.
Sweet! You're editing is getting REALLY awesome girl!
WAT?
Wednesday's are officially my favorite day of the work week 😊
I am almost done reading Lost on the Appalachian Trail for the second time. It is a must read for anyone who is serious about thru hiking. Kyle has so many insightful thoughts that I had to get out my highlighter.. And even though he raced at times he also knew enough to stop and smell the roses.
I have really loved watching your progression. You could tell in your first few videos you were pretty new to the scene. And now you're so confident and knowledgeable. Respect girl! It's hard to find women posting these type of videos.
lol... leaving good old trusty Perk in the dust to catch Mayor.
Awesome!!! Youre videos make me so happy
*You're videos
Your camera is so clear....love it when you do the close up of flowers, ants, etc ....beautiful trail and gorgeous scenery.
Fun you could hike with mayor. I read his book and really enjoyed his trek with his dog on the AT!
Awesomeness!! someone is working hard on these videos they are all very well done!! good job Dixie keep on keeping on!
I agree with everyone else.. YOU ROCK DIXIE!!! You always seem so happy...you have found your calling for sure... I always enjoy your positive videos... Thanks for sharing...
I can't get over how beautiful and amazing the quality of your videos have become! They were always great even on the AT, but having those extra lenses has just added so much to your videos Dixie. thanks again for bringing us along, I look forward to your videos every week! xoxo
I'm Staring my SOBO thru hike of the PCT July 9th 2107, Can't Wait!!
Thanks for Sharing! I'm enjoying your adventures. I'll be section hiking the JMT and PCT in August. Your videos have me so excited. Unfortunately I will have to wait till I retire to do the whole PCT. Next year we are planning the High Sierra Trail. Happy Trails waiting till you post again.
Heat is why I liked the High Sierra, never hot up there. Cold doesn't bother me, but hot weather just wipes me out and makes me miserable.
Love the opening in this vid, where you say anyone can do this; it's just a matter of putting one foot in front of the other. Yes! I so appreciate the inspiration! Thank you.
I would like to see some of the hiking technical stuff. For instance, how you handle water filtration. How you handle the kitchen on the trail. I am new to backpacking and I think this would help me understand what to expect..
Nothing like roasting poptarts on a fire and leaving stank on a rock lol
Louis L'Amour reference. My grandparents used to love reading those (and they lived in this area).
I live in Apple Valley just aways North of the Hot Springs; we used to go there a lot back in the 70’s when I was in High School and shortly after. The hottest pool was called the “Crab Cooker” back then.
Best trail chase ever Dixie! For anyone looking for a good trail read check out Lost on the Appalachian Trail by Mayor sometimes know as Kyle Rohrig.
Dixie I gotta say your videos have improved so much! I like how you film like Survivorman does and go back for the camera now lol! Truly inspiring! That sushi looked amazing by the way! Stay safe out there!
I live out here in the high desert and I have NOT HEARD awesome things about Deep Creek. I've heard there's a lot of graffitti and one has to be careful about the people out there. But, I hike very often (this is my neck of the woods) out in Big Bear, Wrightwood and all the area from deep creek (I've actually not been out there) to and beyond Silverwood lake. I don't do much mileage: 4-6 miles...but, it's certainly better than nothing. I love your vids....thanks for all that you give us.
yes, the Sushi Rest. YUM!!!!!!! and, all this area is MY hiking area....up until about end of May...when it becomes way tooo hot. Right now looking forward to the fall...when things cool down a little out here.
The depth in some of those shots is just fantastic! Congrats on 300.
I'm so excited for this video I've been waiting all week! Yayyyy
In the backcountry all watering holes are clothing optional. Loving your vids!
Hey girl, when I was walking the Camino, every so often I soaked my clothes in baking soda. The baking soda neutralizes odors. You can also pull your shoe inserts out and just cover the insides of the shoes and the inserts with baking soda. The next day just dust them off and you will be good to go! My Italian friends called it magic ;)
Wander with Intent i did the camino too. Quite the trip
Oh my gosh, I dream of doing things like this. I see videos like this and I feel like I'm wasting my life working every day. The worse part is that I'm near Portland, Oregon, so I live like a couple of hours from the PCT and I've never been on it. Geez, I gotta get my priorities straight. But I love the videos, thanks for sharing your adventures.
JJ-
BlackRockBrewing did u get out this summer?
Dixie, go girl! Dan, fall 2016 TSP workshop, country music stickers in my truck window.
Ya know your a thru hiker when you can pick out the brand of shoes the other hikers are wearing by the tracks on the ground....LOL.....10:17 " I see Altras and Salomons......" Great Videos!!
thanks Dixie. made my day
Hi Melissa! I loved the 'art' shots of the bees in slo mo - you need a gig with National Geographic, they were beautiful - as was the rest of the photography! We love your enthusiasm and pluck - thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your adventure. I want to go...
Hey Dixie...thanks for the episode...great job at catching up to your quarry...Another great chapter to be sure...Take care, tread carefully and thanks for the smiles lady...CHEERS !!
Deep Creak Hot Springs are really nice, I had gone with a couple friends some months back. Was thinking about visiting it again but have read some reviews about there being alot of trash and human waste from all the people camping there during the pandemic. Don't think ill be going back for a while but it was nice while it lasted. Awesome videos!!
You guys are just having too much fun! Thanks for the up close and personal trail life!
I loved the game of pursuit with Mayor!
It's such a trip to watch you pass through Mojave River Forks, I'm there almost daily! So bummed I missed y'all.
I really enjoyed reading Mayor's book AWOL - it was really inspiring. So cool you get to hike with him. Too bad the Catfox couldn't be there!
Keep up the miles. Can't wait til next week.
Dang friend I was just there at the lake out there ... you could of had a down day at the lake . The offer still open for a ride to the beach if you guys would like . Have fun and stay safe .
This video pushes me to the edge of quitting a 27 year career as a Farrier to do this. If only I was that brave. I'll live vicariously through you for now. Thank you for a view into a world I haven't had the privilege to enjoy.
Right on! You are just truckin' along! Woot!
I'm number 28! Always looking forward to see your new video updates. Getty-up Girl!
Dixie you are awesome!!!!!
So fun watching your journey. Super appreciate all the great nature shots.
Yay!!!! A new video from DIXIE !
BEST RUclips SERIES
This is exactly what I needed after the day I just had.
Aww, hope it gets better!
The uploads just keep getting better and better.
A lot of variety of different elements in this video. Really cool you caught your trail friend.
Keep it up Dixie, you are doing great!
Your Vids are the BEST ! Gone Clear ! Out of sight ! memories for ever ....
Beautiful video. Beautiful views. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of the experience. Congrats on 300!
Thank you so much for this Keep up the great hike This is better than anything on TV
This is awesome! You're in our neck of the woods :) the Mcdonalds you showed at the end actually almost burnt down last summer due to a forest fire. It's always fun seeing Pct hikers around here
I grew up in California so I can testify that any hot springs you can find in Ca, is considered a nude hot springs. Shyness is not an option, and nobody care even if you are. It's funny to hear the competitor in your voice, still you have to admit Mayor got you, made you run, LOL. I'm looking forward to when y'all hit the real mountains, their gonna blow you away.
Love the videos, look forward to them every week!!! Looks like so much fun!!! 🏕😃🤗
Thank you for sharing your experiences and the knowledge you gain with each mile.
This PCT series is awesome! Bing watching to catch up in the series. Backpacker mag should get you on staff ASAP.
Love, love the videos as I so look forward to them, they really are gems. Really appreciate the nature shots and your candid commentary. Wishing you safe and happy travels.
Huge 'shout-Out' to the person that is editing your videos! And thanks for making the investment in those cool camera lenses! The videos seem to get better every time. Way to go! Always fun to watch! Happy trails!
Question for Dixie: So far which to you think is tougher the AT or PCT? Loved the slo-mo beard shake!! Really enjoying the videos thank you taking us along. You Rock!
It is apple to oranges, so far. I can tell you more when I finish haha. Glad you are enjoying them--thank you!
