It's strange how emotional I got watching this. I have watched these all at work in my tiny office and it gave me a sense of freedom. I was using your hike as my escape.
This last video has motivate me to actually do something about it. I just finished planning a week backpacking trip through Yosemite. I may have to do it solo and it will take vacation time but it feels great knowing I can have my own adventure.
Yosemite is beautiful, blew my mind! I would love to go back.
I also watched the whole journey at work and used it as an escape. I feel you!
do it. It will be the best thing you have ever let yourself do.
I watched the entire series on my night shift. haha.
I watched most of these at work in 2 days.
Your vids are fantastic, probably the best trail videos on you tube. The run time is perfect, not too long or short. Your gear info, evolution and reasoning has taught me lessons and helped me buy products and make decisions. Your footage is great,no wasted time with great appropriate sound track. Very efficient. Your knowledge, spiritual acknowledgment and friendliness are fantastic. The most complete videos out there. One of the only people I watch continuously all the way through. Thumbs up every time. Good for you and thanks for the knowledge 😊❤️🇺🇸🔥
Ill 2nd that
Third(ed). Always soooooo good!
Couldn't agree more!
Exactly
Very nice comment. Best thing I read today.
Well what am I suppose to watch now???
Dixie is not done yet! Go to HomemadeWanderlust and see her through grizzly bear country.
I love Darwin’s content! Why would you come on here and troll his comments if you think his videos are boring?
It's because James is a hater and never hiked in his life how about you make videos hiking and then tell us how easy it is bud
wow.
Right!!?? Went by way too fast! 21 episodes, too short, LOL
Mr. Darwin. I'm a 45 year old do nothing. I stumbled onto your vids while searching reviews of Lone Peak 3.5's. After watching that, I decided to watch a few more of your vids. Then I got hooked on your PCT series. It has been one of the most random and inspirational things I've watched. I am not a hiker, never have been. I don't know if it will get me up and out on the trail for a through hike or simply motivate me to walk around the block, but it will get me up. Mentally, physically, emotionally, it will get me up. I'm inspired and moved to move. Your experience, though these videos have been borderline therapeutic. I appreciate your time, effort and grind on the trail. My best to you and Snuggles. I will be checking on you going forward. Get going...
Sean Early Haha, same here, I stumbled onto Darwin searching for the best way to pack a backpack. Happened to see his PCT videos, and fell in love with them.
Sean, I was the same way, but I had done a 9 day trip into the Sierras, JMT. I came back a changed man. I was a couch potato, computer dude who was getting lazy and chubby..... now, I go on hikes every weekend (small, a few miles), BUTTTTT - the escape into my own space. I agree that Darwin's videos are awesome and inspire.... but you gotta give it a try. Go to alltrails.com and see if you can find some trails near you... take it slow, easy at first. Find your stride. But yea dude, I applaud you.... get it going!!
A family friend of mine started running marathons in his late 40s. One day he decided to get off the couch and jog exactly 1 block and walk back. That is all it takes to get started!!!
You will never regret moving your body even a little bit!
Sean humans were designed to walk not be couch potatoes. Try a few small forest walks and you might get hooked
Thank You Darwin, literally brought tears to my eyes to see you standing at the monument. I can't imagine the feeling of standing there after 4 months and 2600 miles. I hope you start new videos soon. Now all I have left is to watch Dixie finish the CDT, Congratulations.
Thanks for coming along with me Pat! LOTS of New Videos on their way!
Hike On,
Darwin
I was crying too. So lovely.
That was totally awesome!! Thank you so much for taking me along on your journey. I have anxiously awaited every one of your weekly installments along your way. I have been off work for the past year due to a back injury and I have anticipated every one of your videos. The scenery, effort and obvious joy of just being there has not been lost on me. While I am sure to miss you I am sure Snuggles will be happy to have you back! :) You have lifted my spirits and put many smiles on my face. Thanks again Darwin.
Congrats! From a PCT'r class of '82, thank you for taking me back. You've inspired me to strap on the pack and take off...this summer i got up in the mtns for a week. it's been too long! Your equipment vids have been extremely helpfull and I own much of the equipment you've talked about. I'm even contemplating rehiking the pct even though I'll be over 60 all due to watching you. Your professionalism is much appreciated. Thanks so much!..Eggman
What an inspiration you have been. I'm heading north bound this February on a thru hike on the PCT. Your wisdom and knowledge of the trail will help lead the way.
Man I'm having a tough time finishing this one. I'm from Washington, and grew up hiking around Rainier, Snoqualmie Pass, Stevens Pass, and North Cascades. I moved to Ohio about a year and a half ago, and watching this episode is making me so homesick.
Almost one year ago i badly injured my knee and i have to quit the sport that i love. I was kind of lost during some time thinking what i will do next, i'm only 33.
And then i found your channel and your pct journey.
Since then i found a new inspiration. I always loved walking, so from now on my goal is to thru hike st jacques de compstelle in europe.
Your video are sooo inspiring. You have done what you dreamed. The letter of Snuggle is soo nice. You are a wonderful couple.
Thanks hundred times from France. I wish you all the best and more!
Love your attitude. :)
Awesome job. I am going to save this video for the end of my hike in '21. That letter Snuggles wrote you brought a tear to the eye and will be a motivator. Thank you for the wonderful videos, and I'm looking forward to more "Ask Darwin". Keeping doing you brother, and Thank You again Sir.
The letter was actually Written & Read by a good friend of mine, Caron.
Hike On,
Darwin
It was still a fantastic sentimental message
The letter was such a beautiful piece of art!
THANK YOU for four months of adventure by proxy!!!
Looking forward to your next adventure that we tag along with...
Be well,
Don
Big congratulations Darwin! Though weary, you still found the wherewithall to open to the beauty of Washington State and allow it to inspire and enhance your walk to the end. Such a blessing to watch your complete hike on youtube. Thanks for taking us all along with you. Now you can take those shoes off, put your feet up and do what you will.
Just watched the whole PCT hike and have to admit: This last episode and the words your wife sent you for the last couple of miles made me spend some tears. This is so inspiring and authentic, got no other words. Thanks for sharing, thanks for letting us be part of this!
Caron's lovely poem was the highlight of the entire PCT series.
It was truly an Amazing Piece of work. She sent that to me 3 Days before I finished. It means the world to me.
Hike On,
Darwin
Thank you for taking us along for the hike. Snuggles, the voice over at the end made me cry. So beautiful. Thank you both for being such an inspiration. Happy future trails. Love and Light from VA.
This is my first comment on RUclips after years of having this account and I have to say CONGRATULATIONS! I've been watching since you first started out on the PCT and it was inspiring to watch. I teared up a little as you stood on top of the US-CAN border because even though I have never met you in person, I can't help but feel you're a testament to human physical strength, mental fortitude, and humble attitude. Keep it up!
Wonderful story Darwin. My wife and I were hiking the northern most section of the PCT (Rainy Pass to Canada and back) within days of your finishing. I wish we had met you on the trail to say thank you for your work, and for sharing your journey with us over the past few months. Well done!
❤️ moved to tears when I heard the narrative (thought it was as Snuggles but saw your comment it was a friend Caron)! I, like many, have learned so much from your videos. Now retired with arthritic injuries in feet spine and hips I long to make a similar journey. Lightweight gear is mandatory! Even if it’s just day hikes for now. Others have suggested training my dog. You mentioned in a video best to leave pets at home. After working with him a bit on day trips I mostly agree. It’s a lot more work with him even though he is carrying half the load. Working on assembling the lightest gear possible and expanding my day hikes. I’ve heard of others with disabilities/physical challenges making these thru-hikes. Maybe this could be a future video topic. Until then, hope to see you on the trail!
the scenery gets me every time - there's nothing like it here in Australia. Thanks for capturing so much of it in all the different conditions. I'll be heading on back to episode 1 and doing it all over again.Congratulations on completing the PCT, and thankyou Darwin!
What a beautiful ending..... I loved her words.
Yes very beautiful Is this an original text?? If so many thumbs ups!
The Chubby Hiker was that Snuggles?
Lisa P Hikes I'm not sure.... but I think so. I think those two have an amazing relationship.
{{{LoVe}}}
truly
I’m transitioning and I’m so inspired by Darwin and the choices he has made to change who he is too. I hope my results are as good as his.
Snuggle’s closing words really struck a chord with me. When I was in my final week of the AT, so much of what she said was where my head was at. I tried my best to embrace it all, the suck, the amazing moments, the boredom. And when I touched that sign on Katahdin, for just a split second, I was utterly complete. I’m starting a new journey on the PCT this week and I can’t wait to see what it has in store for me. This series was so lovely to watch as I wait for my start date to approach. I can only imagine just how incredible it’s going to be.
Congrats and thank you for taking us along for the ride.
Thank you Darwin, appreciate letting me tag along, so much I'd like to say, but the commentary at the end surpassed anything I could muster, inspiring, getting out there, little by little !
congrats! despite injuries you made pretty quick work of the PCT!!!
I tried...lol
Hike On,
Darwin
As others have said already, your hike was an escape for us mere mortals who follow you and hope to get out there some day. You inspire us tremendously...thanks so much for sharing your great adventure. Take some rest time and savor the achievement. Kudos brother. You are.....THE MAN!
What an amazing journey! Thank you for taking us with you! I can't wait to see what's next. Maybe come back to Arizona and complete the AZT someday?
Thank you for including us on your journey. Even if it's as an observer living his couch dreams through your long walk, you've made this middle-aged man a better person because of it. Again, thank you.
Well done. Your channel helped get me to started with hiking this year. Now all I want to do is hike. Absolutely looking forward to your next adventure.
The only thing crazier than you hiking a trail for four months is the realization that I've been watching you hike a trail for 4 months, lol. Congrats man and thanks for sharing!
Such an amazing journey to follow and I'm happy and sad to see it finalized. What an accomplishment! Thank you for taking us along with you.
I just finished binge-watching all 21 episodes this past weekend. My wife was out of town and as I am hoping to do the PCT sometime in the future (when I retire which should be soon), I was searching RUclips for video's and came across yours. Absolutely loved them and was so inspired. I have sectioned hiked about 80 miles of the Oregon portion of the PCT the past couple of years, and having grown up in at the base of Mt Hood am familiar with a lot of the trail from Timberline to Cascade Locks. I will be mining as much information as I can from your website. I only began hiking and backpacking around 7 years ago at the age of 58 and I feel like I still have a lot to learn. Thanks so much for sharing your hike and giving me inspiration, and maybe a little trepidation, to reach for my goal.
Hi Darwin, congratulations on completing the PCT. I have really enjoyed every minute of following you on your adventure. I look forward to seeing what your next adventure might bring.
I've been following your videos and this has just tied it all together. The little monologue at the end spoke to me and made me remember my past hikes. This series was brilliant and I can't wait for more of what you have to offer.
Absolutely Outstanding!! What an adventure and thank you for taking us along.
Just want to take the time to say thank you so much. My wife and I recently moved to Oregon, and while it’s not much, we recently completed three one night backpacking trips. We’ve seen Goat Rocks, Jefferson Park and Part of the Timberline trail. We constantly use your phrases like “embrace the suck” and are totally inspired by your journey. Hoping for some 2-3 night trips and seeing where we can go from there. Thanks again, and can’t wait to see what you do next!
Words just don’t cut it my friend! But anyway, very well done and congratulations. Thank you so much for all the extra time and effort it must have taken to bring us your great video diary and I hope you added in all the extra miles it must have taken from setting up one shot with the camera to retrieving it again! Kind regards, Clive from across the pond.
Darwin,
Thanks so much for sharing you journey with us. It was really great riding along with you. Your trek gave my wife and I something to look forward to each week. We are happy for you that you were able to have such an amazing experience. Thanks again sir!
The end of the trail is so bittersweet.
Thank you for these PCT videos. Your stamina is unreal, Darwin. You can hop on a bycycle and do a Tour de France with no problems with those legs.
To anyone who has hiked PCT's 2650 miles. Extraordinary people. Respect!
Congratulations from Taos! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Be safe!
I got tears in my eyeswhen you climbed up on the markers! Wonderful videos..so well filmed.....can’t wait to watch your next adventure. Snuggles words were beautiful!
Congrats! Glad you made it before the big fire closure near the terminus.
Really interested to hear about the new gear that you swapped in. Looking forward to the gear video.
I watched every single episode and brought tears to my eyes to see you standing at the monument. Well done and thank you so much. You are amazing!
Congratulations! The whole series was amazing to watch. Thank you so much for all the amazing and inspiring videos!
Thanks You!
Hike On,
Darwin
Thank you for taking us along with you on the PCT. It was amazing. We'll miss watching you walk the trail as much as you'll miss waking it. Here's to the next one.
Congrats Darwin. Enjoyed every minute following you on the PCT. What's the next adventure?
Stay Tuned!
Hike On,
Darwin
High Five Darwin! Be sure to take care of that Pass Port!
How about something out of the box? I'd love to follow along on a trip down the Te Araroa Trail.
The Florida Trail!!!
....just binge watched all 21 episodes today, thank you for sharing such an amazing story with us, nothing short of inspirational. Getting up and out there is something I've been yearning for, for so long, watching you has given me what I needed to start. Thank you. Please keep the videos coming, wishing you and your nothing but the best.......
Congrats on your achievements Darwin!!! Never missed a single video.
Great effort Darwin. An excellently put together series of videos - easy to follow and easy listening. Great choice of music. Your stories help inspire me to keep hiking past my 73 years with the lessons you have taught us. Thankyou from Australia.
Amazing! I've watched every episode as if we were all walking beside you - that's special - thank you!!! Part of me had hoped a filmed act of you meeting up w/Snuggles - but then that is your life, not our life. Congrats and thanks again for taking us the whole way!
It's been great watching your adventure. I deployed to Afghanistan in March, and your hike has helped me stay connected to our big beautiful country from very far away. Thanks for sharing!
Wow amazing last video Darwin. Really love the video quality. The poem at the end with your flashback pics and videos - made me cry! So beautiful. Congrats! - Chica
I have enjoyed your videos since the AT. But this PCT series has been amazing. The cinematography and your narration along the way is nothing short or spectacular and inspiring. I feel lucky to have experienced this through your lens. THANK YOU!!!
Congratulation on your life time memory.
Thanks!
Hike On,
Darwin
Interesting stop in Holden Village. A friend of mine, Larry may have been one of the older staff people you met. The village was a copper mining town from 1937 to 1957 which was only accessible by boat. The Lutheran church acquired the site after the mine closed for $1. They have restored the buildings for use as a retreat center that opened in 1962.
Now we need the video of you getting the logo tattooed on you, that is the final closure!!
Absolutely incredible. Thank you Darwin and all the support team for including us on your journey.
Could you order the Pacific crest trail, Appalachian trail, and the continental divide trail in order from favorite to least favorite and pls don't say they are all great because I know that... But I just want to know your favorite based on scenery and views. I may try one when i'm older. LOVED the series thank you for filming.
Wow...what an ending to an amazing journey! Thanks for taking the time and effort to allow us to be a part of it. There has been so many positive things said about you and your videos and I Ditto each one. A heartfelt thanks for sharing!!! 🙏 See you on the next one. 😃
Well done. Thank you for sharing your journey with everyone. The videos have been amazing.
So glad you stopped at Holden. You were there at a great time of year. It is a pretty amazing place. I lived there for over a year and have some wonderful friends from that time. Thanks for taking the journey for all of us viewers
Congratulations Darwin, may your journey continue onto bigger experiences. You're an inspiration. ❤️🌳❤️🌳🤗🤗🌄🌄
I live on the other side of the world in a small country town in northern NSW Australia. I first heard about the PTC in 2017. Been studying it every week ever since. Now I have just finished watching every Episode of your amazing journey. Your camera work just got heaps better as time went on. The angles of the shots. The backgrounds. The foregrounds. The choice of music did your work wonders. You must have covered an extra hundred miles when setting up the camera, walking back, turning around and walking back past the camera. Then the editing. Brilliant effort. I just loved every video. It has inspired me to keep the dream alive and see it come to fruition. I will be turning 66 on trail in 2020. Now for the visa.
Congrats on your finish. This old backpacker really looked forward to each episode. I did a double-take when you were shaking out your shoe, and then I realized your Dirty Girl gaiters didn't make it to the terminus. They put up quite the fight, though.
First I want to say that I have watched all 21 episodes of this segment. Second this series of PCT episodes has been very inspirational. Coming from someone that has lived in the PNW my whole life, I've never been able to experience this side of it. I've know how beautiful Washington can be compared to the rest of the Country. Thank you for inspiring people to go out and explore their backyard. Hope you and Snuggles enjoy a lot of Zeros together. Cant wait for the next adventure. Thanks so Much Darwin
Awesome series. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I subbed a few episodes back & gave this one a thumbs up. Well done.
Totally amazing Darwin, thank you!!! Your videos are so very informative and inspiring. This series of videos has helped me prepare mentally and spiritually for my first JMT thru-hike this year with my son. Peace to you my friend.
what an absolute stud. nice job! loved taking this journey with you
Thanks for coming along!
Hike On,
Darwin
Hard to believe it is over.
It's been a great time coming with you on your journey.
Some amazing scenery. Especially these last miles.
Thank you much. Thanks snuggles for her support.
Fantastic job completing the PCT!!:-)
Take care.
If that majestic beard could talk...
Congrats!
Thanks for opportunity to be part of your PCT hike and amazing life adventure! In a very real sense I was hiking with you and living vicariously through your daily VLOGs, which were absolutely excellent in every respect. Well done!
Gracias por los videos, ha sido un placer seguirte! great job!
Love your work Darwin, as a 17 year old Australian, you have truly inspired me to gather up my supplies and to organise a visa. I will be tackling this trail in the coming years once my schooling is completed, and i have only you to thank for that.
Hike on brother ❤
Beautiful. Congratulations.
Darwin,
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing journey. It was beautiful to watch you from beginning to end, the people you meet, the day to day grind, it all seems to be a little piece of internal happiness.
I have hiked in the military, in California, Colorado and the mountains of Northern Afghanistan carrying 90+ lbs of gear. My back and knees aren’t so great now days at the young age of 29, but my heart is still young.
I stumbled across your videos and it was exactly what I needed for inspiration to get after it again.
I’ve gathered up an old Army buddy and we are doing a starter weekend hike in the De Soto National Park/Forrest in Mississippi.
Due to work and family I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do the PCT or AT. So for that I’ll keep happily living through you vicariously.
Thanks for everything, hike on brother.
-Whiskers
Awesome! Thank you for all the Videos!
I loved watching the Holden portion of this, I'm on staff there and arrived about a month after you passed through. It was awesome to have thru-hikers come through our community and share their trail stories.
Congrats that WAS AWESOME 📸👍👍👍👍📸
What a source of entertainment and inspiration this series of videos have brought me during this confining time in our lives. Very happy i clicked play on that very first video and transported on this virtual hike of the PCT until the very end. Thank you so much for this!!!
Congrats , I' m glad my state was kind to you and you enjoyed your time in Washington. Hopefully you'll come back and enjoy other parts of our state. But doesn't taking the ferry take away the continuous footsteps on the PCT for completion??
Alot of people hike the trail with different goals in mind. Some hike for "Continuous Foot Path", some just "Hike from Mexico to Canada", and others hike "Every Available PCT Mile", which is what I set out to do. I hiked Every Mile of the PCT that was open for me to hike per the PCTA.
Hike On,
Darwin
Oh I thought everybody had to walk around all closers , my bad. Even though I can do my state , I would have skipped the Sierras because of lack of air at age 66. Yesterday was my niece Kim G (SOL) 10 anniversary of completing the PCT. Keep up the good work. Oh come back if you ever need a guide, my niece and her boyfriend work for Whitaker Mountaineering in Ashland.
Thank you Darwin for sharing such an awesome trip with us. I’ve watched every single video as they have popped up for view. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your endeavor and have lived vicariously through you. Enjoy your time at home with your wife. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for taking me with you on this amazing journey! Sitting here in Germany, far away from the trail, since 2 years planning to do a thru-hike on the AT in maybe 1,5 years. But now struggling if maybe the PCT would be a better option for this „once in a lifetime - thing“. Once again: thank you so much! It was awesome!
Hello Darwin. If there were just an option to hit a bigger thumbs up, I’d select it. If I could just watch your journey one more time without the knowing, without the emotions, without the depressing thought your adventure has come to an end. If I could just experience it one more. I’d almost give anything for it. Thank you in allowing me to follow along. To watch your “normal” gear reviews and simple hikes to then watch this long trek. What a great time I’ve had. Thank you!! I really appreciate it.
The BEST is yet to come Regan... Stay Tuned!
Hike On,
Darwin
Darwin onthetrail looking forward to it!
Darwin, Thank you so much for video documenting this hike. I have watched others you have captured but this one seemed to captivate me more than the others I have viewed so far. I felt myself identifying and feeling many of the moments you experienced as you shared them with us, and felt some nice emotion for you as you reached the Canadian border. Thanks again for "taking us with you."
My partner and I are going to start our thru hiking experience's with the SHT, in Northern Minnesota in September, and a lot of what you have shared in your various videos has been very helpful to me. Thx.
came home, started watching first PCT tripreport>> ended with nr 21....., a binge-hike-watch! Inspires me a lot to try picking up hiking, even after my bike-crash in 2008 which left me with a left-prosthetic hip. Never give up, don't give in!
You proved that with preparation, training, endurance and optimism almost anything is possible! Maybe not a full thru-hike, but even partially: this makes life worthwhile!
Thank you Darwin for taking us along with you, loved watching all of your videos! You are amazing, this last stretch was absolutely beautiful . Loved the part where the letter was being read as well. Keep being you and enjoying life like you do, you truly motivate me to do the same. I hope to one day leave it all behind and just live life to the fullest just like you do! So proud of your accomplishment!! 👏🏻👏🏻
My wife and I are planning a 10 day hike of the Appalachian Trail because of you! Heck, after watching a few of your videos we've became obsessed with hiking.
Your video production is beautiful, but it doesn't feel overdone. We've been excitedly waiting for each episode as they've come out!! I don't know what we'll do now, exception wait for another season of Darwin onthetrail. :)
Thanks again for all the love you put into it.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us and well done on finishing the PCT!
Watching your videos was very inspirational and I hope there is another beginning soon.
Hike on,
Bruno
Well here I go again, tears running down my face!! I cry every time I see one of you guys summit whether it be the PCT, the CDT or the AT!!! It is just such an emotional moment not everyone understands. I just love watching all of your adventures and so can't wait to start mine. Where to next, Darwin?!!!
Can’t tell you how much joy I got from watching your hike! It was awesome to follow your journey and I’m sad it’s over! I even had my first complete cookie today in your honour and will definitely be planning a hike through some of the PCT inspired by watching your own hike. Thank you! And congratulations!
Congratulations. Someone should award you the Medal of Freedom. You and Snuggles have gone above and beyond in inspiring a lot of people.
I've been a bushcrafter for the last few years so I guess my trail name would be Zero lol but I'm in good shape and will be trying my luck with hiking soon.
You've really helped me out with a lot of questions I had and gear choices, Thanks Darwin 👍
What a beautiful ending to a wonderful journey.... Thank you for sharing and taking us along..... I have enjoyed following your adventures for the past two years.... I hiked 500+ miles this year of the trail and enjoyed every painful second.... I plan to start next year, back where I stopped this year and add to my total.... Your videos inspire and entertain... Thank you again for allowing us to join you.... Be safe and I look forward to your future travels and journeys.... Cheers
Watching it years later. It’s still really really good. Thanks Darwin. Hike on.
Hi Darwin, thank you for including me on your epic journey. I really felt like I was there with you all along the way. The note read by snuggles? at the end was touching. EXCELLENT work from planning through execution.
Darwin, It was an absolute pleasure to follow you along your journey on the PCT. You are an incredible story teller as many have mentioned. I enjoy your perspective and admire your fortitude. Snuggles wrote an absolutely beautiful letter to put it all into perspective. I am going to miss the Wed. videos, but fortunately the hiking season is just really getting started in South Texas, so I will stay busy. Looking forward to your next adventure!!
Congratulations, thank you for taking me along! What an amazing journey. K. Gatewood
Thanks for letting my wife and I come with you on this amazing journey via series of videos Darwin. Looking forward to the next adventure.
I am taking a break from training and prepping for a 1450 mile SOBO that will complete my section hiking the PCT and I shed a few tears imaging the end of that journey as I watched you finish up. Thanks Darwin for you advice, your vulnerability, and your example of living life well.
