    Dixie, your videos are so good that people like them before they even watch. It was only 14 min old when I started watching but 31 people had already liked it.

    you played that Charlie Brown Christmas song...brought tears to my eyes...long story...it has been a few years since I enjoyed the Holiday season approaching. I love the snow on all the evergreens! I love the mountains, rivers, and streams. They used to call me the Christmas Kid. Reminds me of hiking the AT in early spring. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with all of us. It gives hope.

    You are the very definition of someone who can stop and smell the roses. It's so nice to see your positive attitude, even in frigid cold and sleet. And thank you for the Charlie Brown Christmas music!

    @Mtnsunshine 7 лет назад +18

    Brrrr.....that looks SO cold and wet. I've spent a night out in that kind of weather and the footage brought the chills right back again. Hope your bag was warm and dry. The snow is beautiful, though. Aaron, thank you again for your editing genius. The Christmas music perfectly fit the scene..both in mood and timing. Nat Geo should hire you for their video work. These vids would work well for your 'reel'. Maybe, Dixie, you are at the border now? I absolutely can not wait for the next video. You are amazing! I see there is a High Sierra compilation video. That will be my treat after I get work done today. Thank you guys so much!

  • @icejunki

    I laughed out loud when the Charlie Brown Christmas piano music began. I was wearing headphones watching the episode and everyone around me looked over at me bewildered by my laugh. It made Christmas feel oh too close.

  • @ScottWorthington
    @ScottWorthington 7 лет назад +1

    Miserable but beautiful. I agree. I can feel the sloshy cold and wet (and cold) socks. The chill that eats into your core. Yeah. Miserable. Yet beautiful. And invigorating. You're getting close, now.
    You've got this.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Aaron, excellent music choices. Complement the scenery without overpowering. Job well done.

  • @thebejeweledwitch

    The Charlie Brown Christmas made me so happy. I turned it up really loud so my husband could hear it and hopefully my baby could hear it inside my tummy. 🤗

    Welcome to my back yard!
    I was hoping it would hold off a little longer for you Dixie!
    Tuesday is going to be an absolute shitstorm....We are expecting 60mph winds at sea level.....it will be brutal at altitude!
    Try to keep out of the timber until the wind slows a bit. You are in for some horrible weather....It is going to get cold too!
    This will blow over and next week will be pretty nice and sunny.
    Hope you get this Dixie!
    Be safe!

    For me, this has been the prettiest part of the trail. You're really getting so amazing footage. This is definitely inspiring me to make the WA portion of the PCT my first long distance hike.

  • @MM-kq7eu
    @MM-kq7eu 7 лет назад

    This is what a hero's journey looks like!
    I sense that your mind is completely free of the 24-hour news cycle. The stream of continuous bs that only distracts us from what is really important in our personal lives and as a society.
    The real danger you have going forward is not a slip on the ice, snow, etc. It's the television set.
    Hallelujah Dixie!

  • @michaeledwards7967
    @michaeledwards7967 5 лет назад

    Looking at these again just brings home how excellent they are!!! Great footage married to inspired editing. There are many PCT video collections out there but the combination of the (brute) beauty of the trail, Dixie's great outlook and the skill/creativity of the editor make this a winning combination. Thanks to all (and a whispered TY to the trail......I am coming to tickle you in 2021)

  • @djg5950
    @djg5950 7 лет назад

    Best video yet. Aaron is getting better and better at this with what he includes in these clips and the music he chooses. The blasting part at the beginning was perfect. I laughed at 9:32 the way you said, "Christmas comes early". Reminds me of NH, where I live, and the reason I'm glad I live in a state where you experience 4 seasons. I could feel the cold feet (been there, done that) when walking in the first, slushy, snow of the season without winter footwear. You will forever have a flashback to how cold you were when you view this footage in the future. So beautiful, though...... I hoping at the end Aaron will make a video of the whole hike, maybe an hour or 1 1/2 hours or even two hours long wouldn't be too long ? Would love to see the whole hike in a movie type video.

  • @scottbecker3485
    @scottbecker3485 7 лет назад

    I'll admit being hooked on your PCT videos, and was eagerly awaiting this installment. Your videos never fail to be a) informative; b) entertaining; c) inspirational in ways far beyond the actual trail-related content; d) authentic and unpretentious; e) beautiful to behold; f) chatty ;-)... and a few other things I'll probably think of later. It's great how you can just talk "stream-of-consciousness-like" and come out (often) sounding so astute and even philosophically profound (at times). The sincerity of what you've been doing is the strongest force in all this. You being you, doing what you do. Post-trail depression is, however, no doubt soon to be a whopper of a topic for you, but you'll find ways to deal with it. One burning question, though: That was an AeroPress I saw briefly in an earlier PCT video of yours, right? I mean the plunger thing Perk was using for his morning coffee? Brilliant device! Have one, too, and love it. So he actually takes the extra weight in his pack in order to enjoy great coffee! Wow. So here's the question: Into what container does he press it? Does it fit over a lightweight cup of his, and does the cup withstand the pressure needed to press the water through? If there's a cup out there that fits and doesn't weigh a ton, I might be tempted to take my AeroPress on my next "ultralight" hiking trip. ;-)

    • @LJHowardPhoto
      @LJHowardPhoto 7 лет назад +1

      I have a coffee press made by GSI that exactly fits a 1 liter (1 quart) Nalgene wide-mouth bottle. Works great but you need a separate coffee cup. I bought it at MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op) in Canada several years ago.

    Dixie, I LOVE the PNW, it calls my heart. Having lived in the midwest, the south, and the northeast, there is no part of the country I have visited that calls me back as does the PNW and all it entails.

    • @tinamarie2121
      @tinamarie2121 7 лет назад

      tnprime one of my dear friends married a woman from the PNW this year, and she said that the hardest thing about NC weather was the summer humidity. I can't blame her....ive lived here my entire life and it still kills me.

  • @qathi
    @qathi 7 лет назад

    I've pent at least 1/3 of my life on or around Snoqualmie Pass, (I live elsewhere now), seeing this segment of you videos made me gut achingly homesick. It's so beautiful, even when it's miserable.

    @danmcginn9002 7 лет назад +2

    Starting to get to my neck of the woods. Other than a terrible misrepresentation of our bacon, you've captured the north in October pretty well. Some of us like to hike year round. Winter hiking secrets: share tents, eat more, dress warm at night (not during the day so much), pick appropriate footwear, and you know that nalgene we all ditched for smartwater? Yeah, it's good again! Keep electronics, and water filter in your sleeping bag or on your person, try to leave camp at first light, you get less to work with. Expect fuel usage to go up quite a bit.

  • @rockytopwrangler2069
    @rockytopwrangler2069 7 лет назад

    Incredible ridge line video shots,with very nice music to match.Tough weather conditions.Did you send ahead your cold weather gear,,heavier jacket,head cover,gloves and even your spikes? Sure hope conditions let up,so you can continue without too many delays or unplanned issues. Please be extra careful,with the end in sight it's certainly a mental boost,,but cold wet rocks are nobody's friend. Til next time...stay safe and God Bless....
