Can't thank you enough for this. :) Hopefully I'll get to hear this in person one day...

I love ships

I would recommend not showing so much of the deck.

Just happened across your video as I was checking out hiking umbrellas. So you mentioned Teddi Boston; I know her well, I too am a volunteer along with her with (SGWA) San Gorgonio Wilderness Association. You are right, she is amazing. I'm sixty-two, whenever I think I'm getting a little old I go talk to Teddi. She is well into her 90's and still going strong. Her mind is still as sharp as a tack, her voice is booming when she is scaring off a bear, she still drives her little pick-up truck, and she still hikes the trails. She would often camp solo at our "home base" for SGWA in the San Bernardino Mountains, but the rest of we volunteers decided (secretly) to not let her be up there alone anymore. So now at least one other person is camped up there when she is there. I think she is on to us, but is happy for the company as well. Anyway back to the umbrella; I think I may get one. I would have liked to see how you strapped that onto your pack.

Summer of 1978 ,I climbed up there , a real top ten experience !

Haha!! That was good

Danger team go!!

thanks so much for this - specifically searched it out! very helpful :)

Coyote . Most definitely

When was this actually filmed?

Sweet in-action review. I'm getting one despite really not wanting to. Too many people like yourself vouch for it.

Man, I hope I can be as authentic as you are in front of the camera, it really feels like we're out there with you on the trail.

Hey man, thanks for taking the time to film and upload videos. I’m starting my thru hike in May 13, I’m really concerned about the heat since I’m starting this late. I think I might even do 100 miles and skip to the Sierras and flip-flop back to finish the desert section in November. Quick question, realistically, how long do you think it takes to clear the first 700 miles? 40 days?

Hey Ranger, your office looks a lot better than mine. Navigator

Thanks for this update Steve. Any idea what the snow conditions are on the PCT south of Crater Lake? I have a long distance permit that starts July 1st at the OR/CA border and will be headed north.

A flip flop makes no sense this year as the North Cascades are even worse than the Sierra. Not sure what I would do. Snowing again above 5500 ft or so here in Oregon, so the melt is being delayed yet again. We've only had a few hot days so far this summer.

Btw Im up by the cascade river and hope this year to hike across to stehekin or down the wa pct if it will melt! If I had the ability I'd be a trail angel!

It's not supposed to melt here in Washington till like August 😨😰😭

Dude!! Because of you, I purchased a pair of Lone peak Ultra's 2.5 , and they have been my favorite pair of hiking shoes ever. So, as always, they have to fix what isn't broken. Rant over. Thanks for keeping folks up to date on the snow conditions and for the tip. Have fun with your new job..

This is probably the most helpful gear video I've seen thanks dude

Nice video, what jacket are you wearing?

i want to see your book collection

Definitely coyotes. We have a pack living behind our house and they howl like that at night mostly. They get all the neighborhood dogs howling with them.

I live in Western WA near Stevens pass in the convergent zone. I bought a synthetic bag because of WA. Lol 9 out of 12 months are like this in WA.

liking your journey so far a little tip put a plastic bag over your socks then your shoes when your on the snow, keeps your feet dry.☺

Just got done watching your vlogs and now that it's over I'm sad! LMAO... Way to keep pushing man, looked like the best summer ever.

There are also a lot of people that cannot afford to take 5+ months off work/family commitments so I think many section hike the entire thing in a span of years. I personally would wait till I'm retired to do this as I have some priorities to tend to at this time in life. For the mean time I will enjoy everyone else's adventure videos :-)

Thanks for the show and tell. I've heard from other people's gear videos that they prefer the foam mattress because they've had experiences where the air mattress would get holes from sharp rocks and whatnot. I'm sure you've seen that on the trail though. Just something to keep in mind. :-) Oh and that's cool you make yourself available to hang out. Maybe you can do some trail angeling if you happen to live nearby the trail.

Awesome hike! I watched the whole thing and really appreciate your journaling the views and feels!

Great video, Steve! I was at the march in Santa Ana, CA.

Trump will close down the PCT and give it away to frackers, of that I am convinced.

Cool nice interview get back on the trail soon?? Thanks

Hey Steve. Thanks for the detailed review, helpful in planning my 2018 attempt. Any chance of a review/overview of your tiny house? I am working on a "mini house" (a little over 600 sq ft) for myself - I am always looking for ideas/space savers.

I just want to say thanks for the video of your trip I watched each one. I want to hike the PCT but working will not let me off for the needed time so I will try to go and do my best I can. I wish you the best in all you do. Please make more videos soon JoP

what is the brand name of your water proof socks? thanks for following through with the gear review, was very helpful!

Marmot precip jacket maybe?

Thanks, that's given me some good ideas. Plus, entertaining. 🙂

Congrats to your journey!!!

Congrats! Watched all of your videos and you can be really proud of yourself. Hope I will finish my thru-hike in 2018 aswell!

Congratulations Steve! Loved all the videos from the start man. I'm planning on attempting it myself after I finish college. Can you make a video on your resupply strategy? I would love to get some tips on that.

Well done ranger Steve 👍🏻 can't believe it's been 5 months!! Wow every video has been great to watch can't wait for your gear review can you give us any trail tips like hiking times Mileages how you re supplied would be much appreciated but again well done mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Man feel bad for you watching this with my fire on drinking hot chocolate lol joking hope the clears up happy trails dude

Congratulations Ranger, so proud of you! I have been watching you from the start. I had my doubts about many thru hikers, but I never doubted you. Your enthusiasm and love for the trail was very clear from the start. Thank you so much! Way to go!

What did you do with your food bag on the different sections of the trail?

Congratulations Ranger Steve!!! So much respect for your achievement!!!! Gonna miss those vlogs :)

Congratulations!!! enjoyed following your journey.

Congrats Ranger!
