You’re the Bob Ross of hiking and I mean that in the best of ways.
Watching these videos makes me want to move on from being a weekend warrior and take a year off for this.
PCT 2020. You in?
Yep. The struggle is REAL.
Zen Rhees I would love to do the same thing. It’s in the plans one day!!!
So true!! I work so much ! Weekends are the only time I have. But I do get my hikes in when I can. I try to do One home a weekend! Maybe 2 if I’m lucky.
Someone want to watch my cat for 8-9 months?
I gotta say, I prefer your trail videos over your other ones. You can come off as a bit condescending on you gear videos but here you are much more humble, a quiet confidence and informative and entertaining.
You're walking into a new universe coming out of the desert into the Sierras. Going from no water to WHOA! Enjoy it Darwin.
Woo Hoo!! making progress! I just did some much needed trail work on the PCT a few days ago! It’s ready for you when you get to Snoqualmie Pass!
Tessa Bridges Thumps up for people like u 💕
I'm not allowed to backpack in areas that are the dry and arid. Just one spark from one of my smoldering hot, sexy dance moves could set it all ablaze.
Gusto St. Cool don't worry I'll put it out.... Bwahaha
Gusto St. Cool wildland firefighters!
exactly
Gusto St. Cool are u one too?
I agree with you that sleeping on a slope is the worst. We had that experience a couple weeks ago. Nothing worse then sliding toward the bottom of your tent all night.
The birds at 5am are worse. Cheers from mile 400.
I was in a part of the Mojave desert back in my Army day's and it was around 110-120. With bdu's on we drenched ourselves with water and would dry pretty quick. Water is so important. Happy Hiking Darwin
The added shoe size sure confirms that you are putting a pounding on those dogs. Might explain the issues of early with the legs and shins. Nice to hear your reminiscence and yes, much diverse wildlife and terrain on this trail.
do your feet grow when you walk a lot?
Finally saw you without your hat. You have hair on top! Always wonder after seeing Dwight Yoakum without his hat and he was bald up there.
Shit! I didn't even notice that!
On my back, nursing a back injury and these videos lift my spirit. Can't wait to get out on the trail again! Keep it up, darwin.
simplecellservices get well soon!
Oh no... Speedy recovery to you!
simplecellservices aww I’m sorry to hear that. Stay strong and take the time to get outside even if it’s on your front porch. The outdoors will help heal you up quickly. You’ll be back hiking before you know it. Best of luck!!!
Looks like an amazing time! I cant wait till the next update
Darwin, a trick to keep your water somewhat cooler is to cover your bottles with a sock, and sew it tight at the neck, trim off the excess. The thicker the sock is the better. Soak the sock in water every chance you get, and enjoy some cool water as the water evaporates.
I'm glad to see you enjoying yourself again. You seem relaxed and at the same time more energized than before. The injury doesn't seem to be dragging you down or worrying you like it did earlier. I have the impression your experience of the vulnerability and uncertainty associated with the temporary incapacity has imparted some additional humility. Few things are more valuable. Thank you for sharing your hike and the beautiful scenery with those of us who can't get out there. And God bless the trail angels!!! I'm glad you go out of your way to acknowledge them. It makes me happy to know there are people like that in our world.
You seem so genuinely happy and at ease! Thank you for your perseverance and sharing with us Darwin 💗
Crazy to me about the feet growing like that... shows how the body adapts. Thanks for your work. Looking forward to the Sierra footage.
Darwin without a hat, what is this madness!! Loving the vids D, reminds me of the old documentaries and films I grew up with about the American wilderness.
Something very uplifting and joyful about your trail diaries.
You're living my dream Darwin. I'm so amazed by our beautiful country. Your videos are top notch and I find much inspiration in them. Thank you and take care on the trail!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I enjoy seeing the scenery, knowing what you eat, and learning about long distant backpacking. When I see your videos, I smile. Looking forward to your journey through the Sierras.
You did 26 miles and still made time to take great action shots. You’re amazing dude. Im rooting for you!! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Darwin for making my otherwise boring day at work enjoyable by watching your videos on my lunch break.They are so well done and meaningful to me.
After watching your gear videos to lighten my regular camping set-up, I've started to get more into lone camping and hiking inspired by your through hikes. Within 6h my first time out, my shoes completely gave out and started eating my feet, lol. Still, got out again the next weekend. Kind of amazed that ppl can do it for full days at a time, let alone multiple days in a row
Snow pack looks really low this year, stream crossings should be more manageable than last year...looking forward to the rest of your hike....I know Northern CA well...get ready for some wonderful scenery....
Thanks for taking us along, feeling like I'm with you
Another great video. Nice that you were able to meet the people stocking the water. They do it because they love to help out and it makes them ust as happy when they get to meet someone they help.
Happy trails with the sun shining and earth beneath your feet. 👍🏽👣👣👣👣👣🏔
Really nice to see you enjoying the trail as much as you seemed to in this video. I could definitely feel you getting your groove back. It seems like you're really loving the PCT. I wonder if it will be your favorite of the big three.
Yeah it’s great to see
Thanks for taking us along Darwin
I love watching these videos. You make me feel so inspired to get off the couch and do some hiking!! This looks like such a cool experience.
You sir are making working 6 days a week very hard. I love these videos, it makes me want to do what you do. Leave everything behind and live minimalistic with my wife- traveling and seeing more of our beautiful country. I NEED some trail time!
Hike on!
Thank you brother. These videos are motivating and take me away from this crazy time in my life.
Was really looking forward to this update! Cheering you on Darwin!
Beautiful sights man thank you for these videos im getting to see what i will see with my own eyes this spring and summer it will be awesome
Yeah buddy’s Whitney, Baden Powell, Baldy gonna be great! Sierras are beautiful and deadly. Respect mamma nature. Safe hiking!
Good to see you are 100% and knocking down the miles again
I love that you brought a "communal" pizza back for the weary hikers - a little bit of trail magic yourself! sweet!
Seriously, favorite channel on RUclips. I feel like I’m almost in the Desert with ya! Keep hydrated my friend!
I appreciate the videos of you walking up to, or away from, the camera. I know that is a small touch, but adds a little extra walking to your mileage. Good job!
YOU will LOVE the Sierras!
Yay! Delighted to hear that you have apparently healed from your leg injury.
You look so at peace on the trail Darwin. Xxx
What determination! It's amazing that you're able to hike alone. You gotta have the logistics just right. I'm hoping a book (perhaps a movie) comes out of all your hikes.
2:25 ultra-rare hatless darwin!
Thanks for the tip on the couscous, Looking good, thanks for the great vids and intel. Happy trials.
good luck buddy, this life style is almost like the monks. Peaceful.
You are inspiring
🌲🌲
Dig your energy! 🤗
What a hike is meant to be solo & in the moment...
Thank you for sharing your adventure. Enjoy and Stay safe!
Thanks for the video cache, been thirstin for another episode, god, the views, the trail, your keeping us goin, soak it in !
Can't wait to see the next update Darwin. Such an awesome hike.
Thanks for the idea with the couscous, pesto, and tuna. I'll have to give that a try. I've been trying to expand my backpacking menu.
Im getting back into yoga also to help after an injury but only so i can start through trekking and hiking even more! Great way to help recover and prevent further injury!
Great to see you do the PCT!
Awesome stuff Darwin, thanks for the video...
That couscous meal looked especially good. I may have to try that. And, what a beautiful day.
Communal Pizza 🍕, you are a good guy.
Thank you for your videos I have enjoyed them very much from your gear reviews to your trip here on the PCT.
YAY Darwin! Glad new shoes are more comfortable and giving you more room (important). Great video (as always). Love your hair! -- Chica (and dude, 31 miles, you are killing it!).
You are one of the good guys. Sure hope you are okay from your fall on your pole
Great video great landscape...
Awesome. Looking forward to how you deal with the broken trekking pole.
Thank you for showing what you eat, it's giving good food trail ideas, that couscous looked delicious!!
You're looking good and hiking strong. Keep at 'er.
I've Been putting a lot of thought toward this hike. Thanks for the videos.
Loved the movie now gonna hit some mtb trails today
JM Outdoors yeah man makes me want to get out a make more videos myself. What trails will you be hitting? Just looking for new trail ideas
Some of the North South trail at LBL and the Canal loop
A little land between the lakes action... LOVE IT!
One of your better videos so much more Prime mortal More in touch with self Not about RUclips subscribers More about the hike 👍
Really enjoy your vids and have watched all your PCT ones! You are one of the best trail vloggers out there. One question if you have time... I don’t see a lot of other hikers in your vids, is the trail not very busy or do you just choose not to film them?
Glad to hear your shin is better. That was high drama a few weeks back...kind of a "Is he going to make it?" moment. And then you just stopped talking about it. Soooo...good to see that there's a little resolution to that issue.
Hey man inspiring stuff, glad I found your videos. That said after watching this, if I were to hike the pct, I might just skip the whole southern Californian desert, and maybe then get away with using a hammock as a camping set up.
24, and 31.5 miles? You're making tracks bro. Amazing.
I wanna do this so bad! It just seems like an impossible thing for me...Thanks for sharing your journeys with us, it looks like such an amazing time! 👣🌎
Communal Pizza !!! Nicely done hombre !!
Beautiful trail. Thank you for sharing.
Great video! Enjoying following you on your journey
Josh Herod Outdoor Adventures congrats on hitting 100 subs!!! Just got there myself. Only up from here!!!
Hike Life thanks! Going to keep putting out content and hopefully keep growing. Sub you back
Take your time getting to Oregon! Still a lot of snow up in the higher elevations!
Hey, Darwin. Size 13's are not so bad. Mine grew two full sizes from hiking. The major disadvantage to bigger feet is the selection of shoe colors is often limited to whatever color, like bright blue or whatever they have on the shelf in my size. I'm OK with that. Hike on, my friend!
Nice! Love the scenery and the music that is with it. But I especially love your food info. ;-). Did not know that Knorr's made a dried pesto. I paused the video to add it to my shopping list, lol. Now I can enjoy the rest of the vid. Thank you! Congrats on 600 miles!
Ahhhh. Your feet sound just like mine. Used to wear 12's but in most brands I've had to move up to a 13 not because my feet are growing but because they are flattening, at least according to the physical therapist I visited. Orthopedic inserts with good arch support will stabilize this. Rock on!
I've enjoyed all of the episodes to this point (number 7 ) and looking forward to the remainder. I was hoping you had filmed some of Tehachapi, a refueling point while riding my Harley from Salinas to San Bernardino and back. I would love to see a gear loadout for this trip...looks like true ultralight equipment.
Never mind. I went to your website. Great stuff!
So close to 100k!!!
Good to see your post and progress. Glad your legs are feeling healthy again. Clicking out some good days. Should be in Kennedy by your next post. Did someone say zero day to enjoy time with other hikers! Happy trails to you.
You're in for some weather in the central valley. We're already getting close to 100f. Can't wait until I see your video from Sequoia, my backyard.
LOL, My shoe size went up to 13 when training for marathon. Keep up the work love watching your vids! Thanks for sharing.
Almost 100K subscribers..
Bob Outdoorz yeah that is a great feet!!! I just hit 100 subs and 1000 seems almost impossible. Reminds me of the tunnel to nowhere, but I’ll keep on plugging on
Much love and respect! Inspired by you to accomplish PCT one day !
Looked forward to these. Keep up the good work!
I'll be doing the JMT beginning of August... cant wait to see your footage of the Sierras. Although I don't think our timelines match up.. it would be cool to run into you on trail!
Thanks Darwin !! Love your videos.
another outstanding video...thanks for sharing. are your feet still "growing" or is it a byproduct of the walking that is somehow changing your foot structure? Interesting. Glad to see you are healthy again after that leg issue. You're a warrior!!!
David Cheever Hiker feet get elongated from walking miles on them.
Beth Ratkewicz do they shrink back after you stop hiking miles in a day?
On3D no
Hey Darwin. I see you picked up some new Altra LPs by the looks of it. Over the years my feet have gone from 11 to 13. Not so much growing but they just got flatter over the years. Using custom correction inlays now. Keep hiking love the vids !
I see the sleeve that your water bottle slides into is really snug, but can you put foil around the outside of that sleeve somehow, to block the sun as you hike? Hot water isn't refreshing at all. I'm glad you can hike a 30 mile day after your injury. Gotta be getting over it now. Keep on truckin. God bless you and keep you safe.
Very good and peaceful videos.
Awesome video... thank you for sharing....
Nice edits & music selections :) Thanks for sharing
Wtf Darwin! I didn't realize you were doing the PCT this summer. I can't wait to join you on your journey :D
Great video!! Stay safe ⛰🌲👣
Excellent stuff, looking fwd to the Sierras
Best one yet!
I love watching all tour thru-hike documentaries. You do a great job filming & just keeping it real! .....curious what Snuggles is doing when you're off on your solo hikes?
For the Smart water bottle in those super hot sections, how about wrapping a piece of soaked cloth around it so it 'sort of' cools the water as the water evaporates? Then again, wasting water, I suppose.
you rock no one i met ever echoed my beliefs about couscous. Only problem is if somehow it gets wet. Not a real problem if you have it in portioned bags but you definitely dont want to keep it in the box it comes in the grocery store even in a dry bag XD
