    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.

      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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    @emc5807 7 лет назад +3

    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.

    @rcarnes3 7 лет назад

    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.

  • @jmminmn
    @jmminmn 7 лет назад +2

    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!

    I grew up in this neck of the woods. It's been too many decades since I've been home & I can still feel the granite crunching beneath my feet and smell the sage, the scrub oaks & the manzanita.

    Out there, I fell in love with how efficient our bodies really are. A little shade, and some water, and it cools off. I mean heat is still hot, but it is amazing how effect we are at cooling! Boy the desert is stunning!
