I went from the bottom of Yosemite Valley to the top of Half Dome and back to our car in just over 6 hours. I was following a guy who was like 60 or so at the time...he drug me up that mountain. My pride would not let me show him any weakness but he kicked my ass that day. The best hike of my life I’d have to say.
Lauren is a Trooper, Blister and knee issues and she still carried her full pack to the top of Whitney..Congrats..
I used to have blister issues when I wore wool and hiking boots. Laurens pretty tough from what Ive seen here. She should try running socks and approach sneakers instead and see if that works. Ive been racking up miles with this light weight quick dry combo with very good results. Great video!!
She sure was frustrated with her feet. That same sock and low top hiking shoe combination that pulverized her feet on the JMT has been problem free for hundreds of miles before...just not this time. Everybody is such an experiment of one when it comes to feet. Me, I can wear almost anything, but I prefer heavy old school leathers with two pairs of socks; one thin polypro under a medium merino wool mix. I can haul 80 lbs problem free indefinitely, or do 25 mile days with 40 lbs in total comfort with that combo. Good thing she's a bad-ass :)
@@FreedivejeepHD You gotta test the specific shoes - not relying blindly on 'type' of shoe. And the test should be at least 4 hours ime ... that is when you begin to actually feel the long wear issues. Gotta try it in different sock combinations too .. usually people hiking through will bring different shoes instead of using the same shoes with different sock combinations. Using different sock combinations in the same shoe is how you run into injuries because the fit is only good with so much margin.
What a great video! Many thanks. Your wife is a legend.
I did the JMT nobo in 2013. Every other month or so someone raises the bar on JMT videos. The bar is yours now, and I suspect it will be for awhile. Wow. Just wow. And Lauren is one tough lady. I found myself praying for her relief from those blisters by the time you got to Marie Lake. She's amazing. Take good care of her!
This is one of the BEST quality video and sound films about of hiking I have come across on youtube !
Best wishes to you Tanya, I look forward to seeing you on the trails!!! Ryan.
You're wife is a tough cookie. Blisters like that take a lot of mental stamina to hike with.
This has been the best video ever for JMT. I felt bad for your wife, all those blisters OMG but she made it! It felt like I can do the hike too, but my arthritis does not let me enjoy long distance hikes. Hopefully one day I can do it. You should make another one explaining how you did your resupply and what food you usually carry, the water filter and the brands you use for your equipment. Thanks for the amazing video!
Hi Celina! Thank you so much for watching, I'm delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the video :) I thought about making a video about gear and planning, but our needs were so different than most people's, since I had so much weight between camera equipment, an extra warm tent and miscellaneous other things to keep Lauren warm. She gets REALLY cold, really easily. I hope you get to take a crack at the JMT; it is a fantasy world to a hiker!
Your wife is a real trooper, one can tell she is in a lot of pain and tired but she keeps going. She gets an A++ for this trip.
Wow! Look at those pack sizes, I'm surprised no one got hurt worse.
Beautiful Scenery. Thank you for sharing. You sounded a very happy guy and your wife is Beautiful.
Excellent video, thoroughly enjoyed. Felt like I was going along.
Thank you for putting in the time and effort to make this! You did an excellent job! It's inspiring and helpful to see the JMT at this level of detail. Looking forward to your next project.

You have one of the best videos of JMT. The best wild life captured. Thank u.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experience. It took me a few days to watch all of it but was well worth the time.
Tremendously enjoyed every minute of your video and your adventure .... I plan on watching this over and over again thanks for taking the time and the energy to film this.
I have a dvd I bought from amazon with a larger group who hiked the JMT entitled "Mile, Mile and a Half" its my favorite dvd of all time
Amazing work. Living my bucket list thru you until I can do it myself!
Thanks for sharing your video! Lauren you are a rock star and an inspiration!!! First JMT video we have seen with mountain sheep.
Awesome adventure! Congrats to both of you!

Thanks for watching Dave H!
I think I enjoyed every moment of this video. thank you for carrying all that equipment for us to see this beautiful trail.
Well done lads, thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed watching - good guidance to anyone trying the JMT. A real inspiration.
Awesome video..thanks ya’ all.
Really, really enjoyed your video. The most beautiful scenery! What an adventure! Excellent videography and editing, too!
Best JMT video out there! Lauren, you rock! Can't believe you walked 220 (or more) miles with blisters. Can't believe you both carried so much weight. Well done! Great photography. Loved it!
I'm proud of you both.
It could not of been easy to make such an enjoyable and informative video. Watching this on the monitor's full screen ( 21 inches ) is something to see. I really enjoy it because it's the closest ( medical reasons ) I will get to hiking in areas like that. Then those packs , they made my back hurt and all I was doing was watching the video. This East coast flat lander ( Florida Trail section hiker ) is use to a 7 ,1/2 base weigh pack. Your camera equipment ( 25 pounds ) was three times the weight of my pack. Different location's , different needs or requirements and a world of difference in the scenery and temperatures.
Thanks for sharing such an amazing adventure, I wish I could hike the JMT.
I've been to Yosemite many times. What an adventure!!! It really let me relive my own. Thanks for sharing!
Every minute of this was amazing. Great cinematography. Amazing trip.
Thanks Joe!!!
Great video :) thank you
High quality, entertaining video!
Loved, loved your video! I'm so glad to see a couple hiking the JMT together. Lauren you are amazing girl, blisters and chafing did not stop you. I'll be hiking the JMT with my hub in 2019, but first gotta train. Thanks for the video!
One of the best hiking videos I've seen. Thank you both for bringing this amazing adventure home for us all to enjoy. I plan on doing this trail one day and you both have been such an inspiration. Many blessing to Tripod and Tenderfoot!
Enjoyed yours and Laurens journey...
Beast mode both of ya! Real stuff...real people...and made me think I could do this!
She is a rockstar!! Bless her ❤️!! Great video!
nice camera work, great editing. I've hiked the JMT four times (both NOBO and SOBO) with no more than a 36lb pack, you sir have earned a lifetime of atomic fireballs with that pack. Also, your girl is RAD. what a trooper she is. congrats you two. see you on the trails.
That is a fine film!
Very much enjoyed your video!
Id like to give a shout out to your wife for handling that trip like a boss. she sure has a lot of grit. good job you two!
Grand adventure! Fun tagging along.
Nice video, I know it had to be a great trip! Keep on hiking!
excellent video guys!
Great video - You did an outstanding job capturing the beauty of the landscape!
I know the tremendous effort in videoing in the manner in which you did...Not to mention that pack weight (I cringe when I tip 25#)!
80lb BAG!!😲FILMED WITH A GREAT ATTITUDE😲HIKED THROUGH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TRAIL ON EARTH😲 major propz to you brother your a beast 👍👍💪💪
Great video! You guys were awesome! The scenery is so breathtaking. My husband and I are hiking the JMT Aug.20-Sept 11, 2017. We are so excited for our adventure. Thanks again for sharing yours.
very cool brother I loved watching youre vid thanks for sharing be safe and hike on always cheers
Nice job on the video...thanks for sharing. It looked like a beautiful night and morning at Guitar Lake.
Cool video love it
WOW! Absolutely one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. The cinematography was outstanding as was the content. Lauren is one tough lady and congrats to both of you for completing this and taking us along as well. All I can say is thanks.
Thanks TrailSlug!
Dude, your a beast! Props and much respect to both of you ! Great video, Sir!
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
SO awesome to see a shot of going up the cables! Its actually frightening and glad you gave it that perspective. I did it at midnite under a full moon and totally recommend it. You have to leave upper Yosemite at 9pm but totally worth it.
Lauren gets 5 Stars from me. Awesome hike, team effort., beautiful scenery. Way to go !!! Thanks
so awesome. Roxana and i were in lyell canyon august 27-29 2016, just packed in a ways and watched the jmt hikers go by too funny, we may even have seen you.... Amazing job filming we are watching on the 40 inch screen./ Lauren's blisters are making us feel bad wow she's a trooper ..can't believe your pack weight ! bighorn that is a rare sight even out there wow. ok i could go on forever this was 2 hours of absolutely spectacular you really know how to make a film. Thanks So Much for this
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Loved seeing you on trail Ryan!!! Incredibly impressive camera setup and pack weight you were hauling :D
stumbled across this looking at wild camping vids .. loved the filming ... and impressed with the girls doing the cables ...nice one
Good video, brutal to watch. The weight of your packs, and your poor wife. She looks miserable throughout most of the video, you could feel it. We felt so sorry for her.
Was just thinking this same thing.. I think it was a bit rough for her but she made it.. this trail will test you body mind & soul. Good job nonetheless 👍🏼
About 17 minutes in. This excellent (thus far) video confirms my wish to hike the JMT-with-a-side-of-Half-Dome.
Thank you for sharing this video with all of us, and for putting forth the incredible effort to document your journey at such a high level of quality.
Thank you for the kind words! It was a trip of a lifetime for both of us. Definitely hike the JMT; it was such a wonderful experience that words can not express. Good luck!
Beautiful! The Mt Whitney part esp spectacular. (I’m doing the whole trail this summer- very excited!)
OMG Guys!!! I had tears in my eyes when you both stood at the top of Whitney; VERY WELL DONE!!!! and thank you so much for sharing :-)
Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it!
Judging by the image quality I would not have guessed this was from 8 years ago!
Great vídeo, sorry about the blisters, but they’re part of the adventures. Love all the beautiful scenery, would love to make it there one day. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful!! You two are freaking warriors!! Enjoyed this very much! Can't wait for my turn next month (July 2018).
I"ve watched this video from start to finish. Have mad respect for both of you. Congratulations!
Thanks Skyclub! I will be filming the Colorado Trail this summer...stay tuned!
This is an AWESOME documentary. Thank you for sharing. I am from the Pacific Northwest and when we were kids we used to hike and camp every summer (Good times). It seemed like your wife really didn't want to be there but she stuck in there. It also reminded me of the cold weather training we had to do in the army in the rocky mountains when I was stationed in Colorado. Anyway, thank you very much
Thanks for this awesome movie guys, greetings from the Netherlands.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for sharing your adventure and tremendous accomplishment. You both are a real inspiration. It gives me hope that I too can do this special trail.
Thank you Karen. I hope you get your chance to experience the JMT as well! I'll be hiking the Colorado Trail with some better film and sound gear starting next month. Stay tuned! Ryan.
Great video! Glad I found you.
Thanks Tim! Glad you enjoyed it!
