    RUclips: we have literally billions of videos that you could watch.
    Me: * watches this series for the third time *
    Recently discovered this channel and this outstanding human being and suffice it to say I'm incredibly grateful for the inspiration.

    I'm so excited to have stumbelled across your channel randomly on day one of this amazing adventure!! I just spent last last 4 hours (lol not kidding) watching your prep videos and some of the old AT videos.... I'm so inspired now to just drop everything and get out there with you!

  • @ssspargur

    @mjlev314 7 лет назад +13

    2017 PCT snow pack mimics the conditions from 2005. You'll get water in places where other years the trail is dry. Hike your hike and the year you get is the year you get.

  • @jaywhite9711
    @jaywhite9711 7 лет назад +1

    I have been watching your films since the AT and really enjoyed them all. Have the most amazing hike and make the best memories that will live within you for years to come. wishing you peace and many happy days on this next part of your life journey. All the best from a UK van dwelling no ad and his dog.

    Good to see an update Jessica. Find it nostalgic that you started this video the same as the beginning of the AT series "Ok, so I'm about to" famous first words. Hope all is going well for you. You truly have a gift and found your calling.

  • @jmarkangeles8471
    @jmarkangeles8471 7 лет назад

    I remember your first AT video. It's amazing how far you have come since that day. I'm a firm believer in "crossing the line" and allowing the fears to fuel your journey. I wish you nothing but a valuable experience on the PCT. Thanks for being an awesome motivator for me!

  • @sydneykenyon9728

      Gwen Hirko I started binge watching her just a few days ago. I can imagine how horrible it would have been to wait for a long time and I feel lucky that I didn't have to wait any time at all! she's so fun to watch.

    I'm so excited to see your new adventure begin. Over this winter I've caught up on all your AT videos and you have truly inspired me. While I would someday love to attempt the AT - I plan to start with more local hiking/backpacking in my homestate of MN (on the Superior Hiking Trail and parts of the North Country Trail).
    I must also add that the video is awesome, I love the details you are capturing and your editorial person does an amazing job!! Best wishes on this grand adventure of a lifetime!

    Possibly the best hiker video series out there in RUclips-land. Intelligent, insightful, practical lesson-learned, good video. After looking at about a dozen trash-talking, macho, idiots try to selfie their way through the PCT, this young lady does it right. I'm now a contributor.

    II am excited to see you back on the trail. I live in California and followed your AT hike and will be rooting you on. Your honesty and fun loving attitude is so refreshing! I'd love to keep hearing about rattlesnakes too as my daughter and I hike around Big Bear and Idyllwild and she is nervous about them as we branch out to hike in other places. Here's to a wonderful experience for you!!! Mike

    Jessica... Welcome to California from a fellow Alabamian. I moved to the SF Bay Area almost 30 years ago but have never lost my love for the South. It's going to be hard to find SEC football this fall in Oregon or Washington and they may not understand what "War Eagle" and "Roll Tide" is all about. Perhaps when you get to the lake Tahoe area I can join you and hike section K with you from Highway 50 to I-80. You are in for some beautiful views and scenery.

  • @kimbasciano_

    I had planned to hike the AT this year and had to unexpectedly pay for a funeral. Which sort of was a blessing in a disguise because a couple weeks later the hardware and my leg came loose and I am getting surgery in a week to get it removed. I'll be out there in a year or two. But for now I will vicariously live through you. Safe travels Dixie.
