Love it. At the gym losing weight for my second attempt of walking 90 miles of the Ridgeway in the UK. Last year I was 400lbs, this year I am 300lbs. Still a way to go but the path is long. Cheers Tim.
Tim Iredale Well done Tim thats a big loss.
Great job Tim. No doubt in my mind that you will reach your goal. Great job to Darwin, not only for the cool vids but for inspiring Tim and the rest of us. Hike On!
You got this! I can’t wait to see your video of your journey. You just inspired so many people! Keep it up and pay it forward!!!
Joe Bloggs I must be doing that right then. 👍
Tim Iredale Awesome. 👍

Trek on bruda
Snuggles to the rescue again. You gotta love that woman.
Ralph Uriarte I sure so. He struck Gold with her.
Nothing like the Sierra Nevada to humble a hiker. Love it up there, and watching videos like this only makes me respect John Muir that much more...what a badass that guy was! Great videos, Darwin, thanks for taking us along on your post-holing adventures. :)
Thanks for putting these videos out there. I always enjoy them 😊
First watched the series in 2019 and I never noticed the "KEN BURNS!" Nearly spit out my beer 😂
Super appreciate these videos. Thanks for taking the extra effort to produce them.
I am constantly amazed at how hard the PCT seems - with all the post-holing and water crossings. Kudos to you, man! Great video. I wish I could melt all the snow for you!! - Chica
I always love your videos. Thanks for taking me along!
Elevation is big miles! You've got to think in 3D and pat yourself on the back for all those elevation gain and losses!
Great series of videos. I have thoroughly enjoyed them. I like the periodic food updates including the set up and take down, use of your hiking equipment. Keep it up.
Hi Darwin, many thanks for sharing this adventure. One of the best looking places on this planet.
Kidding. Hope you're having a blast. Thank you for sharing.
Darwin is teaching with his blogs, I have recently decide I want to hike these trail. Thank you Darwin.
Ansel Adams Wilderness is a sleeper, on paper you wouldn't expect much from it because the lower elevation but there is a reason it was named after a famous photographer. It's one of the most beautiful parts of the Sierras.
I like the blatant honesty about the ups and downs during a hiking trip. Real world experience. Take care and stay safe.
Excellent video. 👍👍😎🇱🇷
Hello, Darwin. I just want to thank you very much for the time and effort that you put into these videos. I am currently in the process of a weight lose regimen and I find that your videos give me the motivation to continue when the "hunger" is trying to win. My ultimate goal is to hike the AT. Maybe in two years I can put into action all that I have learned from your channel. Thank you again very much.
Post holing is sooo exhausting!!! Gosh that area is beautiful though. You got some Great shots!!
Hi Darwin
begin -er rookie hiker here hiked some of the whites in NH racking my brain around trying the AT .Your video's are inspiring and educational .lv learned so much through watching your video's. Say safe and positive hope to see you on the trail!!!!!
Been watching this serious for a few hours now. Thanks for documenting and sharing.
This is funny because even when he “rants” about the passes you can tell that he loves it. Happy you found your passion!
Been following along! Thank you so much for bringing us with you. Your current area looks amazing! Cheers from canada!
Outstanding scenery and filming.
So cool ya had Snuggles as Johnny on the spot w/ the backup trekking poles. ✌ 👣
Thank you again for sharing your adventure.... I laughed out loud as I felt your pain.... post-holing in the Sierras is such a pain... in every way.... hike on.... cheers.
So cool seeing you in places I’ve been! Much love!! Stay safe and happy trekking.
Spectacular video! Thanks!
Your broken tracking pole reminded me of a time when, as a teenager, I was entrusted with my cousins over and under shotgun, the instructions were; Keep it pointed forward, only take off the safety catch when you mount it, don't swing around and if you fall, fall under the gun. Those scenes and vistas are wonderful, I think I'd find it hard to leave there. Many thanks for sharing your wonderful journey.
Great video, absolutely stunning terrain. I love your fun attitude about the hike, tough climbs and all...
Between you and Dixie, I'm having a great "hiking" season 🙂
Stay safe, Griz.
Griz - Don't forget Evan's Backpacking Videos. He is doing the AT this year also. He is really good, and has lots of earlier videos as well.
Lukas, yeah I've been following him. Love his fun, somewhat satirical bend... 🙂
KEN BURNS!
*While zooming out*
That made me laugh. Love it! Great shots and stories. Be safe and keep going!
Great trip, man. It's cool to see you documenting the journey
Dude, I did same thing a few weeks ago in CO with trekking pole! 10 year old poles, Leki sent me new mid and lower sections! Awesome customer service! Thanks for the vids! Keep the northbound view going!
Enjoying the informative narrative and images...and candidness.
Really enjoying your series. Keep it up. I grew up in the northern Sierras and you are about to head into some amazing country!
Great job Darwin!!! Strong in the face of challenges!!!
It amazes me seeing you guys hiking thru snow and ice wearing shorts and a normal hiking shirt. Crazy. Take Care
Dude I gotta tell ya. You have inspired me to start hiking again. Gonna section hike the long trail in June. Thanks for all the great videos!!!
I love these videos! It's so beautiful out there and I'm definitely looking forward to doing this trail myself one day :)
I can't believe you got to meet Hike Oregon! Thanks for the videos. :)
Beautiful scenery Darwin!
The Ken Burns shot cracked me up.
KEN BURNS!!!!!
Hike On,
Darwin
Always enjoyable! Please stay safe and keep on truckin!
I watch your videos every week another great video Darwin
Loving the vids, Darwin - keep keepin' on! Courage!
Good Ol' Sierra hiking. Right when you think the trail is going to ease up on you, BAM !!!, more rock stairs !!! I feel your pain. Be safe...
Great video in such a beautiful landscape

Wonderful. Thanks!!
Good one Darwin... Great scenery and minimal music. thx
i enjoy this. thanks, y'all.
Great - Darwin - love your videos!
Looks like you caught BKXC driving by in Mammoth. 0958. I enjoy following this trip and have been waiting for each episode to arrive!
I miss that area so much. My brother and I used to trout fish up there. It is one of the most beautiful spots on earth.
Man I enjoy and look forward to every video.
Cant wait till your local OR WA.
From Seattle
Hope the fire closures in Oregon don't hold you up. Thanks for sharing the trail with us.
Reward is directly proportional to difficulty. That's my thought. Ken Burns! lol I would have said Bob Ross myself, but it's all good.
Excellent stuff, Darwin!
Glad you enjoyed my favorite place on earth...from Devil's Postpile to Island Pass...Earth's greatest landscape. Well...one of them anyway.
I tell you what man, you're inspiring the shit out of me with this channel, your video quality and the authenticity of it all. Exactly what I want to do. Seems impossible with full time job.
Awesome vid quality yet again Darwin! You're vids give me goosebumps as I get ready for my 2019 NOBO section-hike. I always wonder what the dates are of your locations. What date was it as you came up on Yosemite's border, and what was your start date? Looking forward to episode 14!
RANT AWAY, it's hilarious. Prettiest footage yet, and you are really living life dude. Another gear failure, Snuggles is a Savior, great gal.
Really loving these clips. Music isnt too loud so i can watch while the grandkids sleep. Cant wait to do mine next year.
Antonia Baker same same. Watch when they sleep and dream of next year
Diggin the series man.
Darwin, great videos. Having to go back and fetch the camera has got to be a pain in the ass. lol appreciate it!
love thisss
The rant was awesome. Don't know anyone dumb enough to be naked up there though lmao. Great stuff Darwin. Your video editing is second to none.
This is only the second time I've heard you gasping. Was questioning your humanity there for a second.
To bad you by passed June with Carson peak and silver lake and Grant lake grew up there in the summers with grand dad stunning area, But your in stunning area's but any area is great .Happy Trails Stay safe
lol'd at you yelling "Ken Burns!" when you did a ken burns effect.
Hey Darwin,
The Sierra extend north almost to Lassen. You’ll be hiking in them for a while yet (I’m from that area).
Basil
Awesome video ty
Hi from NJ
Just remember Darwin, the worst day of hiking is better than the best day of an office job!
Loved the Ken Burns "shout out" at 15:45. Hes probably my favorite documentarian especially his National Parks series :-)
Question, when you broke your trekking pole did you just use a stick in Duplex or tie up to a branch? And is your time with 1 pole what got you to eventually go 1 pole on future trips, and start using the single pole Pleximid?
Great work Darwin. Any way to put the actual date on when you did these stretches? I ask because my brother and wife are doing it now, too. They started mid April, but it's been hard to figure who's ahead or behind. Zero days, low mileage days, etc. make it tough to gauge.
Thanks for all you do!
Ozzy check his Instagram, his posts are current and up to date
You could pack the rest of California in the valleys of the Sierras The Immenseness always amazed and bewildered me.
Those stone steps that you were complaining about? There are tons more hiding under the snow, so you skipped most of them. They were really hard for me, since I am short and have old knees, and you got to walk over the top of them!
I am enjoying seeing my trip, in reverse, with snow. Thanks.
Enjoyed your episode again! Since these posts seem to be delayed about 4 or 5 weeks how close are you to Donner summit? I was there 7.15.18 and met 4 thru hikers at the rest area. Also, those cookies have become my Favorite trail food. Breakfast and dessert. 6 bucks for a box of 4 at walmarts. Fudge and chocolate chip is my favorite. Enjoy the trail. I'll be watching for next week. Thanks
I have now given up on the CNOC poles, 3 broken poles. Good customer service and they send new poles, but it sucks having a pole break (or the internal cable come out) and then having to carry the broken pole(s) out. Back to Leki and Black Diamond!
Im going on the trail this year and i feel like this is really helping me see what ill be going thru
Hell yeah. When do you start?
@@seribas hopefully april
@@patrickrutland7138 right on man. Good luck out there! Late march for me so maybe ill catch you on trail!!
@@seribas maybe
love the rant! lol
Thanks for the rant!
Hike on
Sam
No Problem!😂😂
Thats not ranting...want ranting check out IB TAT hikes or Amanda Bees...both on the AT...one cusses and crys A LOT and the other swivels and crys..A LOT...hahaha
King Luey for Darwin, that's a rant
Nice. Thanks.
Great videos Darwin! Thanks for brigning us on your hike and inspiring us! As a Canadian (Quebecer) very familiar with snow and winter, I can't keep wondering : why no snowshoes? OK it's extra weight, but it would be great to solve post holeing!?!?
OUPS! Read the comments, found the answer. Keep hiking! 😁
Darwin, what was the Ken Burns reference about? Great video man. Enjoyed it so much. What a beutiful state I live in. Oh, how is the Yosemite fire affecting your route?
You are doing great post holing and all. What is your theory as to why mountaineering snow shoes would not work for you in those mountains? Might you still be trekking with two poles had you tried? Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Sierras are tough. I just finished the first third of the JMT and half of that was dealing with thunderstorms. Going into the next third, and it looks like thunderstorms everyday. Oh, and I snapped my trekking poles too. Debating whether carbon fiber is worth it.
I laughed when you said "Ken Burns" LOL
At the 3:21 mark when you start explaining the days travels. There is a rip in the top left hand corner of the bath tub flooring.
Darwin has said in previous comments that that was a crease.
Very nice. Why do you keep your water outside of your tent?
How much wildlife have you encountered on the trail so far? Great video keep it up!!
BananasFinest I wanna know too. I need a bear report 😁
Throwing this out there.. biolite.
I know it weighs a lot, but once you master it the tiniest dead leavings provide everything you need. Using a 1st Gen snow peak tI mini solo plus a cheap ti 450 ml single wall nested opens up works of occasional gourmet stuff. Please try it out and forgey the weight just for the test. Without the fuel you'll never look back. Balances the extra weight and carry.
Another great video Darwin - keep up the excellent work! Ps. Which video editing software do you use?
Link to video editors is in the description.
Hi Darwin! I'm reasonably new to your channel, so forgive me if you have been asked this before. Have you ever hiked any of the High Peaks in the Adirondack Mountains of NY? Love your vids, keep doing what you do!
Man those cookies are the best! Try the lemon poppyseed, best thing I ate in the desert. Been looking for it again ever since to no avail.
No zero in Bishop?!? Now that's discipline. The Vortex there has claimed many a hiker, including me.
hahaha Ken Burns!
ah, have you had any issues with stream crossings?
thanks for the videos, as always 🙂
Another great video as always Darwin!
I have a question. I'm best part blind without my glasses, obviously you wear glasses too. Do you keep a spare pair with you? Or do you class your sunglasses as a prescription spare pair?
To quote Tom Hanks in League of Their Own. It's the hard that makes it great, if it was easy, everybody would do it. Thank you for the video.
