Best line ever about beheading a bug: "i hate to interfere, but i was already involved."
✌😂
Deep philosophical issues are _everywhere_ ;)
spider catching the skeeter may be the coolest thing ive ever seen
@11:05 hearing Dixie cheer so whole heartedly for the spider to eat the mosquito was hilarious. Probably my favorite moment after watching all her video clips between pct, at, cdt hahahha
The spider! That was so cool!
Yeah amazing camo
Miss Twisted he's eatin' good in the neighborhood with all those mosquitoes!!! :-D
Miss Twisted I was pretty excited!
I totally said yes the same time you did LOL!!
i cant believe she caught that and right after she said it! that was some natural geographic filming too. GJ
Oh Wow! Catching that spider eating the mosquito was so cool!! I just love how you appreciate and film both the small aspects of the trail as well as the large panoramic aspects of it! Keep on hiking and know we are praying for you to have a safe, enjoyable, and life-changing hike!
Holy crap! That spider shot was awesome!
Yeah would be cool to see in slow motion :)
Go to the video settings to slow it down.
Seriously, she needs to win a prize for this!
'Hate to start off the morning with a brutal murder'........LOL!!!
Oh Dixie. You're just the best person. I adore you. Pulling and praying for you, girl. Been watching you since the AT. Fellow southern girl living in the mountains and you are truly an inspiration.
I am SUPER impressed you were able to film the spider catching prey!
Those mosquitoes tormented you and you never lost your cool. I have seen people snap and melt down in that situation. You really are something Dixie.
OMG ! The spider grabbing the mosquito was AWESOME !
Frog and Toad are Friends!! Dixies Friends for sure, that little guy was super lucky you notice the small things!
Wow, shot of a lifetime catching that mosquito landing on the flower next to the spider and the spider tossing the empty carcass aside to snatch fresh meat. That's one less mosquito to harass Dixie! It's been said before, your video editor is awesome BUT, you have to give him the great material to work with. You're the incredible videographer Dixie. You're going to have a wonderful record of your amazing journey ... I'm sure there's a lot more footage that doesn't make it into your RUclips videos that hold precious memories for you. Just an amazing journey Dixie. I can't wait to vicariously reach Canada with you. I LOLLED at your "Hiker Trash" pun at the dumpster but only because I've learned what the term meant from you. :-) And ... 30+ mile days??? I just can't imagine.
Good to see you're "at one with nature", to the point where you're helping ants.
Peter H Thanks! I haven't named and started talking to any of my gear yet, so I think I'll be okay.
Holy crap! That was an awesome shot of the spider! Whoa!!
way to go Dixie with the spider and the frog, congrats on catching Perk have fun and stay safe.
T hat spider catching the mosquito was awesome. Great photography!
NO WAAAAAY! Great shot with the spider!
My favorite episode so far! Comedy, drama, murder, and PERK!
I love the frog convo and redeeming yourself saving the ant haha. I love you Dixie!
Kristen Steffe I cracked up at that too.
So hilarious!!! "It was gonna be the frog or the ant... I could've stayed neutral but I was already involved so..." That part cracked me up.
Another beautiful place, another great video, all those mosquitos make me itch, good gracious. Glad you caught Perk.
Still watching every video! This one is a favorite! From the singing to the ant and the road to the spider catching a mosquito! It was awesome!
Great shot of the spider catching the skeeter. Well done.
The pure ecstasy in your voice when the spider got the mosquito! HAHAHAHA!
Am absolutely amazed with the close up shots of ices on the lake water. Just imagining what you had to do, how much time you invested while you were hiking really leaves me at awe
Your reaction to that spider catching the mosquito had me cracking up...as well as your thought process over saving the frog and ant on the rock.
Beautiful scenery...OMG what beauty God made!!!! I love hiking and would love to be there
Ok, I was literally like "whoa, yesss!!" when that crab spider caught that mosquito! You Dixie, sure have collected some good karma on your way. Keep going! :)
That spider though! Had to show my boys (age 4 & 7) & they loved it! They cheered!
And yeah, Perk! So glad you got to catch up with him.
Spider munch! Epic! You sure know how to keep your Karma in balance Dixie.
That spider shot was amazing!!
Awesome shot of the spider catching the mosquito!!
Dixie Great info. I hiked a short distance on the AT when on my way from Mt Baker to the East on a drive to another park.. stopped long enough to say I did hike the AT .. I know sissy stuff.. but I in no way would ever be in condition to hike a long distance like that.. not in bad physical shape just liked to relax on my camping outings.. Not sure if the AT connects With Mt Baker ?? I thought to the East ? I love the scenery.. Hiked almost to the snow line.. Loved the Switch Back trail.. first day wore me out,. had to return to the camp from half way up.. tried to make lunch drawing water with my filter slipped and fell into the fast moving stream.. very wide.. Cold ! water from the glacier.. water over my head.. fought the current.. thinking I would be found in Oregon some day.. but made it to shore.. spent most of the rest of the day in the tent in my sleeping bag.. scratch one day of my agenda.. Cheers.
I shoulda said PC Trail.. duh sorry..
When the white spider grabs the mousquito it was epic .
Incredible mirror reflections of those mountains!
Awesome hike amazing capture of the spider vs mosquito 🌲✌🏽️🌲😋 Thanks for sharing 🙌🏽
Mosquito murder at 11:01
11:06 ok, this was very cool. Honestly Dixie, you get some of the coolest footage I’ve ever seen. I love how you record things like this.
Fantastic footage of the spider catching the mosquito.
Spider Say's "Let Me try some of that Southern Style Dixie Blood ". Has
to be one of the Best Natural Timed shot's ever taken, and so right on point. BTW The Frog probably just raided their nest and was eating them, so the nest warriors attacked Him, and Yes they will sacrifice themselves for the cause.
I hope you will continue these Vlog's for a very long time after this. Both the Camera work and Your down to earth personality makes a Home within (IMHO) our Hearts. May You be always be Blessed in all that You do.
well said :)
Two thumbs up for the Skeeter Song and another thumbs up for PERK!!!
The spider was AWESOME!!!!
Another superb segment. As always, thank you for sharing, Dixie.
Steve
So much joy in this episode! That moment when the spider gets that mosquito! Muhahahahaha!
Aloha Lake is still a great fave. Been there twice. Northern CA and southern Oregon mosquitoes are the worst.
she's just gonna love the switchbacks of the Feather and American Rivers... with mosquitos
Omg I love the mosquito song 😂😂😂
Everyones so excited about the spider (which really was awesome) but your whole demeanor, your love for the tiny bugs and towering peaks, and your casual stoicism in the face of the things beyond your control made the spider also seem like a casual aside. You are really inspiring! :D
Great capture on the spider vs mosquito! He must had listened to you. Great vid!
Wednesday is my Sunday and your videos are always the highlight of my day! Thank you!
That was so satisfying when that Mosquito was cut by the spider.
That spider catching a mosquito is something that most humans never get to witness. You not only saw it, but was able to film it! Extraordinary video!
Spider catching the mosquito... Epic shot Dixie!
These are consistently the best, most aesthetic PCT videos ever - and having Jessica in them only adds to the joy!
I’ve never been so happy to see a spider. That was awesome!
Also I need to stop watching your videos before bed. I have had some serious snake dreams lately!
Thanks for sharing your adventure. Love the videos!
Prettiest spider ever! You are so cool, Dixie, handling all the living things around you.
Nice job on the spider, Nature bends to your will!!
Wow! Great shot of the spider - in action!
Magnificent! Whoever filmed and edited this has tremendous talent. There's such a balance and deep sense of beauty throughout. ...a work of art. Thanks.
Whole Cucumber is good snack and temp water source in case you run out of water.
Chop cucumber about 1 inch apart boil in the water drink like tea.
that white spider was so cool, great videoing skills there
Actually, the primary source of giardia contaminated water in mountain streams and lakes are from beaver, and muskrat, not from livestock, as grazing is poor or nonexistent close to the treeline, however beaver will inhabit pretty high elevation water.
The spider catching the mosquito was epic
As someone who attracts all mosquitos from a ten mile radius, that shot of them sucking on your leg makes me supremely uncomfortable. Haha! So glad you saved Mr. Frog from that jerk ant!
Go Daisy! I did a section hike out of that area where you ended by Sugar Bowl last summer and agree it is just beautiful! So glad you survived the mosquitoes and caught up to Perk!
DIxie,
I love your videos and they keep getting better each week. I wanted you tell you how much information and knowledge I get from watching them.Thank you.
Also, I want to encourage you to keep going, enjoy this once in a lifetime adventure and stay safe.
That spider shot was amazing Dixie!! Your channel is just so inspiring!
LMAO - "Brutal Murder" - That right there was funny!
I can't believe you got a shot of that spider catching prey!
that was so awesome the spider grabbing that mosquito
that was a good one -a beer and good food after a hike or run ...
Oh Dixie. I had to pause the video so I could stop laughing after “is she anemic yet?”
Okay - seeing that spider grab onto the skeeter - made me smile. Thank you!
Disappointed this is the last video online ...I've binged watched them all - but exciting to know your doing this right NOW
This by far has been my favorite video so far...what with the song, the bye me frog hope you have a better day, and the spider eating the mosquito on camera. It was all gold hahah.
I hate spider and mosquitoes so much, but seeing the spider eat one was awesome!
When the spider listened to you... I cheered! Dixie, the Arachna-Whisperer!
What a shot with that spider..!! Awesome
Yippee! New video uploaded on my birthday. Fantastic present.
Emma Bowen happy birthday killer
happy birthday Emma!! I subscribed to your non existent channel so how about a thanks for the birthday wishes video?
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday
Haha, I just loooove how Dixie cares so much about all these little animals. I particularly enjoyed the ant-frog-killing-debate-story! Yes, Dixie!
Spiders, mosquitos, toads, ants and good karma. And the videography to catch it on a iPhone!?! Amazing!! Looking forward to some vlogs of you and Perk back on the trail together :)
Whoa, wasn't expecting the spider to get a skeeter while you had the camera on him. It was probably nature rewarding you for caring enough to balance the ant population.
The spider catching the mosquito is fantastic. Love your posts. Thanks for sharing. They keep getting better and better. Credit to you editor too.
Great video! The song, helping the frog, redeeming ant rescue and the spider nab'n the skeeter! You rock Dixie!
Dixie..... terrific video, especially the spider and the mosquitos, LOL. Love your commentary and the incredible photography!! I can't believe it's the first part of September and still so MUCH snow!! Keeping you in our prayers, young lady. Hang in there, you're doing wonderfully. Best wishes... Ax
They get better and better!
Go Dixie!
Mosquito karma! Loved that spider shot!!!
Great footage and thanks for sharing! And mosquitoes are the absolute worst!
Awesome shot on the spider! Love it!!! Great update and thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your transparency,. Your honesty and real openness is refreshing. Just being yourself with no bells or whistles, except the ones you add naturally. I have been making videos for the last year or so and find it hard to find decent videos to watch, yours are rel gems, keep it up!
3 years later in 2020. Also I love the Tiffany cover song improved.
Oh Thank Gawd! When I first read the title, and saw Dixie's bit up legs... I thought "Perk" was some kind of disease transmitted by mosquitoes or ticks! Hahaaa. Now I see.. catching Perk.. was a Good thing. LOL
That spider footage is the COOLEST thing I've ever seen! Awesome!
Omg how can you stand all those mosquitos! You are one tough cookie !
I'm totally digging your mosquito song! 😂🙌🏼 And that spider shot was super cool. I love watching your journey!
I just love you and your videos so much! Truly the highlight of my week, well one of them. I do get giddy. My husband coming home in the evenings is my highlight very day. Now, I am just rambling. Your videos bring such joy and inspiration. I can not wait until my day. 10 year countdown!!!! Though I will get some sections in before then. Take care and thank you for sharing your journey.
On a side note, hopefully we get some rain here in oregon to put out some of these fires! It is outrageous this year. Worst one I can remember.
Oh the satisfaction of watching that mosquito catch it.
These videos are getting better and better! What luck you had with that spider!
That spider killing the mosquito was an amazing capture!
“I was already involved.” lol Great vlog. Such gorgeous scenery.
The spider was cool but the Hank Sr. was awesome!!! I can’t wait until the next video!
