    0:22 'I can't believe I'm here."
    Exactly what I thought when I went down to Campo and I wasn't even going to be hiking the trail! And everytime I visit a PCT Crossing I think the same. It's like sacred ground.

    Jen,
    Been a rough day, watching your hiking videos again. They always put a smile on my face and get to see the trail I will one day be on.
    Before I die I will hike the AT, PCT, CDT and trans continental trail.
    Would so love to do them all back to back, its what I plan to do when I retire,

    As someone who hikes quite a bit with my dad of the same age, I'm totally feeling you in this video! It's hard worrying about him while also trying to enjoy the trail and also needing to keep pushing to an extent in order to not get too short on water. My dad is also definitely one of those stoic types who will struggle a lot but just push on without complaint. Great video and I wish you luck on your journey!

    Remember, there's LOTS of little things to remember on the trail, not just the big ones. As time passes you'll thank yourself for commenting on the little things that made your day. AND it will make your vlog enjoyable to watch..... someone sharing the little things in their day and finding out what they're all about. Best of luck on the trek ahead!!!!

    It’s the heat I’m telling ya!
    After 50 the heat just gets to you.

    Enjoying your videos and looking forward to following along.

    • @ronaldmcdonald9147
      @ronaldmcdonald9147 6 лет назад

      I'm over 50 and just started PCT hiking...in the chilly Fall. Kinda ironic bc the 'heat' rarely bothers me (provided I stay hydrated). I'm no fan of cold - possibly a major obstacle to thru-hiking for me. I need to stay warm!
      I mostly did ok hiking part of the PCT near Mt Hood in October, but I needed much more wool to deal with the really wet cold.
      Learning as I go. Hike your own hike definitely applies to age, genetics, body-type, fitness level, etc. I suspect that colder climate fans do better in the mountsins, but where there's a will, there's a way, right.

    Thanks so much for checking in. 8.8 miles is great! Especially in that heat. That was a funny story about the motel room and your dad offering the shower to the two women. Lolol..... Really looking forward to the next video, but you enjoy every day first. You and your own experience out there is the most important thing.

    @charlessullivan5370 6 лет назад +21

    Hi Jennifer! A word of caution. I noticed that at the end of the video you were hiking in sandals. Be aware that the dust and dirt can quickly dry out your bare feet, leading to cracking and infection. Socks would offer some protection. You should, however, be okay wearing sandals as camp shoes or during water crossings.

      Charles Sullivan
      Sandals are the normal footwear for humans since there were humans, since before the first migratory patterns out of Euphrates and tropical Ethiopia 35 million years ago, on raft and on land bridges, from the Outback to the Andes, to the Mongolian desert, Polynesian islands and beyond. If your not on snow, your in sandals.

  • @tucsonwilly
    @tucsonwilly 6 лет назад +1

    The first day is always so special!! Quite an adventure you decided to take on. Dad's pack looks heavy, poor dad! Nice of him to give you a send off. Your transformation into hard core hiker has begun. Booze is no one's friend in the desert, you did good to pour it out. Us older hikers still think we're young inside.

    Going back to day 1 , I started watching close to half way threw , crazy how different you seem from day 150 and day 1 , you seem more grown up , I am 50 so your still young lol you just seem different in a good way more experienced . I love watching your videos and seeing what you have seen, I felt like I missed so many so I wanted to watch from the beginning. Thank you for these videos , this is the only way I will see most of these areas.

  • @liveoneworld
    @liveoneworld 6 лет назад

    Eek I just happened upon this video and fast forwarded and landed on this DEET spill. That stuff is toxic and corrosive (it’ll destroy your watch face) even though it works great. Make sure to keep it upright and separate from everything else (especially food). You probably don’t need it in the desert sections anyway. Good luck! It’s fun seeing that monument again!

  • @memathews
    @memathews 6 лет назад

    Nice video. 8 miles is pretty good the first day, especially with heat. A little hydration and sleep usually cures any heat effect, but age does make it tougher. Good to see you and your dad on trail together.
    I'm sure you already isolated that bag of DEET inside another bag and outside your pack. That stuff is nasty, once it spills it gets on everything, even food that isn't totally hermetically sealed. I double bag it and only carry it when necessary, headnets and long sleeves/pants are much easier for me.

    Lizards sound pretty cool but you defiantly do not want to see a rattlesnake. The trail looked great, nice and easy to follow but the area looked really dry (we are used to a lot of rain the North of England). Must admit as soon as I saw you dad with that enormous pack on, I though man, that is going to hurt. At 64 very well done to him, I am 63 and I know how difficult it is to carry a camping pack, just for one day, so much respect to him. Nice start to what I think will be a great watch. Good luck, cheers Alan
