Hi! I'm a 65 year old woman who started watching your triple crown hike about a month ago. I'm all caught up except for some of your AT hike. Tonight I watched your AZ trail film. I've lived in AZ for 40 years. Your film brought me to tears. It was so beautifully done. I'm glad you gave water to the bees 😊. Good luck to you, and stay warm.
Hey! I just came across this last night, I really enjoyed it! I'm use to watching your videos of the AT and now the PCT, hearing you talk about your day and your thoughts. In this one, without even talking you captured so much of your hike that I feel I almost know what it's like to be there! Your filming is wonderful! I know during your hikes you have interviewed some people, other hikers, trail angels etc...I think someone needs to interview you!
I'm watching this and can't believe how beautiful it is. The landscape changes so much. The night shots are magnificent and magical. Holy shit... The bees at the water source. This whole hike is impressive. I've been enjoying your AT videos and look forward to seeing you when you reach NJ. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Great hike! Betcha them coyotes smelt ya too! Hair raising! Your red light wouldve drove me nuts 😂 So why is the Terminus across the Border? Im following your CYTC!
The border fence is actually built by Americans on American soil 1 foot before the exact border, which is exactly marked by the obelisk I am standing on.
I agree that there are some wilderness areas that have "good vibes" and some with "bad vibes." There have been times where I packed up my tent and moved from one location that had "bad vibes" to another camping spot that had "good vibes." Sometimes the "bad vibes" could just be a weird energy in the air or the area is genuinely spooky. I use trekking umbrellas when hiking, especially for sun protection. I initially used the ultralight umbrellas, but found them to be wobbly, of insufficient height and annoying. I now use the Euroshirm hands free, adjustable height trekking umbrella. This is not meant as an advertisement. I'm just trying to be specific on the type of umbrella I use. This umbrella clips into your backpack's shoulder strap and attaches to the hip belt of your backpack. (I think you might be using a backpack without a hip belt. I definitely prefer a hip belt.) Anyhow, this umbrella is solid, not wobbly, and has great height clearance and coverage. It's excellent for sun and rain protection. It's a few ounces more than the ultralight umbrellas, but ten times better. Seeing you plunge in the ice cold water of that stream reminded me of when I was camping at the bottom of the Grand Canyon in August. The temperature on the thermometer went above 140 degrees F. I soaked my body in Bright Angel Creek periodically throughout the day and throughout the night. That water feels so cold when your body is overheated. It seems that there are coyotes everywhere. Your recording of the coyote howls and yips was awesome. They can sound very scary. After doing some research I learned that they will usually leave us humans alone. Beautiful, awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
Good observation. My powerbank died for the third and final time 4 miles south of the Mt. Lemon General Store. At that time my camera battery had 15% charge remaining. So I decided to use it on whatever felt to be the most scenic shot between there and Vail (my next opportunity to recharge my battery). In retrospect, I think I chose correctly, sunset summiting Mica. Yes, I did stop at Hutch’s pool for an hour or so. I remember being particularly happy when I found it. , My phone had died, so I had to find it by using my watch, an estimate of my walking pace, and watching my surroundings closely.
Correct! I’m attempting a calendar year triple crown in 2024. I’m five days into the AT right now. I’ll post more videos soon once I find time to edit them. I’m posting more dailyish updates on my insta too, @jaruwalks.
This video is moving poetry. I don't need to tell you how much skill you have as they are so clearly demonstrated. Thank you for sharing and my best wishes for your calendar year triple crown.
Wow! Amazing video. My cats share your sentiments re the coyotes. Really enjoyed it.

Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Just stepped into New Jersey a few hours ago.
And thanks. Yes, the diversity of Arizona is incomprehensible. I had no idea walking into it. It’s a hidden secret.
@JaruWalks look at Far Out comments at mile 1340.3
LMK if you need anything my number is there.
This was lovely. Thank you for sharing your journey
I love Arizona and the AZT. I really enjoyed this documentary. The silence, the coyotes howling. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful filming! Thank you
Really unique way of documenting an AZT through hike. I enjoyed it a lot.
Also, pretty bold to do it without any shelter. Yikes.
Sentient in so many ways.
Thanks for the video and the views. Plus all the time u put into video. You done a great job.
You are a videographer! This is beautifully done!
Beautiful , brilliant! You a master trail videographer !
My man, we welcome you to Hiking RUclips. And what a brilliant and lovely introductory video. Bravo !
Thank you!
This was so beautiful….you are a poet. I hope more people find your channel. Good luck and be safe.
Thank you! This is by far my favorite video I have ever made. And I particularly appreciate that you clearly saw in it what I felt in it.
Your fortitude is admirable

Amazing. What camera did you use?
Sony A7Siii camera, GM 24mm f1.4 lens, FE 85mm f1.8 lens. Thank you!
You kind of timewarped from Lemmon to Mica. Did you stop at Hutch's Pool?
