Finding Brothers | A Wilder 2019 Pacific Crest Trail Story
On 5 May 2019 four unknown hikers; 2 Kiwi's, an Aussie and boy from Boston set out with cameras in hand on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) which spans 2,650 miles (4,265 kilometers) from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon and Washington. Each hiker sets out for their own reasons with few expectations of what lay ahead... this is almost the full adulterated story.
Thank you to the trail angels for their endless generosity and to the countless strangers who went out of their way to help. Most of all, to the hiker trash that make the trail what it is, stay dirty!
Huge shout out to the PCTA (www.pcta.org/) for their work in making this trail a reality.

    This was so close to being one of my favorite PCT videos. Great people, great energy, lots of laughs. The only negative for me was too much music.. It's worthy of a re-edit.

    WOW!!!!!!!!What a cultural showing of the diversity of all the different people and places on the PCT.. I have followed "The Field Trip" family, a mom and her four boys hike this trail in 2022, and your video showed a more general side of the folks who are on the trail. This is quite the adulterated fun side of the adventure, which looks pretty cool. Thank you for your time and effort of putting together this amazing PCT documentary . I'm 69 years old, stuck in a wheelchair, and enjoyed every minute of your hiking adventure.

    Amazing work. This has to be my favourite PCT vid, and I've seen so many! I love your sense of humour and the fun times you had on trail and in towns. I have been thinking about doing the PCT for years, it's not a matter of if but when...just need to find someone to drag along with me. Thanks so much for sharing and congrats on your achievement!

    • @thubr793
      @thubr793 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much, very kind. Absolutely do the the trail, you will love it. You don't need to have someone else to do it either. The vast majority of people start alone. You will find your people out there.

I've watched more thru-hiking documentaries than I can remember and at least in that aspect yours stands out from the beginning. If I remember I'll edit to give my thoughts after I've finished it.

    • @thubr793
      @thubr793 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Super Down Ultra my dude. The jacket is bomb proof. Lighter than most, higher quality down and fill so warmer too. It's water and wind resistant. Couldn't recommend enough. Kuiu is great gear, hard wearing and build for tougher conditions. Thanks for the watch!

    Really well done, I love watching these and this is one of the best, even with some of that dodgy beer, but when you're grinding those miles any beer tastes good! It makes me think about it one day but I'm probably 20+ yrs older than y'all so not sure a full thru would ever be feasible for me and doubt I could get through that terrain in the Sierras. I live in NW Washington, try to hike most weekends this year taking a break from running, and hope to get out for some hikes on the PCT. Who knows, maybe a section one day! Great stuff. Cheers!!

    • @thubr793
      @thubr793 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cheers!! Glad you enjoyed. If you loved watching, doing it is next level!! Age is no barrier, you will not be the oldest person out there by a long way. Start early and chip off constant miles everyday. Best time to do it was 10 years ago, the second best time is next year!! If you need any inspiration check out Last Chance Hiker!

      I also live in Washington and over the years I've hiked a few miles here and there of the PCT and always wanted to do the whole thing. I'm now 76 and doubt I will ever get back up there. Diabetes and By Pass surgery make that very unlikely. Still in my youth, 20' s, 30's and 40's, I hiked pretty much all over he Cascades and Olympics. I've Glissaded down snow banks in the Olympics and humped over back country passes so I know the feelings. Loving this video. Thanks.

      @Henning_Rech 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You should start alone. - If you start with friends you may feel mutually obliged to stay together though you may develop different speed, rythm, need for zeros, etc. - In a normal non-covid year there are so many hikers that you easily find your trail group/family. - My experience is only from a small section (high sierra / JMT) which I hiked about 6 weeks later in 2019 when there was MUCH less snow. jmt2019.de/ - But maybe a thru-hike in future.
