Incredible journey!!

I ride my Can Am in that area every winter and spring. The best trail in all the PHX area. 😃 so pretty out there. There is a real nice natural spring , water hole along the road just a little east of where you were. Probably the last tall mountains before Superior. I’ve never seen a Ram out there but I’m driving around so they probably get scared off. Very cool. I have seen 1 snake 🐍 along the road. Glad you enjoyed your hike.

rattlesnakes will leave you alone. they have a good strike distance and they give people their friendly warnings od dont mess with me! i'm enjoying sitting here being by myself. just respect nature cause they have a purpose on earth too

😊 pretty cool hike!

Bro you hiked 300 miles. Were did you start

I live near Superior, those sections of the AZT are my stomping grounds. Yes, there are more danger noodels in that specific area than anywhere else I run / hike. Dunno why, but it's true.

dude is out there alone in snake country in jesus shoes and socks....

Blister is a funny Dude!! His delayed reaction to everything is so funny!

glad to see you back brother, cheers from tucson

I always kill the poisonous snakes I encountered, unless there were government people around protecting them. I think it is funny how so many people want to protect the move dangerous animals; like rattlesnakes and wolves, etc.

I have to admit...This trail had some miserable sections with the swampy sections.....The end was beautiful with the white sand

Born and raised in AZ. Encountered more rattlers than I can count. I've never been struck but i worry every summer about my dogs and the rattlers and toads. Had a cat struck when I was a kid. Vet gave her massive doses of vitamin C and she survived pretty handily. You live out here you kill alot of rattlers and do your best to cultivate the presence of king snakes.

What was the purpose of this video?

Fascinating. I haven’t been back to the SW in years. I miss it. Who knew the beauty to be seen without trees?!

Hela River. 😊

Socks and sandals? Arizona native here, love your videos.

Timothy, you are wrong, a snake can certainly strike without being coiled. Don't bet your life on it.

Well done! Blister I missed you on the AZT...I wonder how hard it was to go back to normal life. Probably slept well . Take some advil...you earned it

I was surprised how much underwater trail you had to endure...I know that 70% of FL. is swamp but, I just assumed they would of routed the trails around it.

Man Florida is FLAT. AZT had so much elevation changes

I must be a rattlesnake. I want be left alone too

I live south of Tucson in Green Valley Az. Luckily our local Fire Dept. will come and get snakes from your yard,garage, basically anywhere you see them. I called them 3 times in an 8 day period. Remember everything out here wants to bite,sting or kill you !

i ALMOST accidentally stepped on one hiking 4 weeks ago. Luckily, he didnt even see me as he was taking a drink from a puddle. Haven't had my legs shake from adrenaline that bad in a WHILE.

i wish you'd show a map of where you are, and where you are going

Great video! I enjoyed the suspense! I would have been scared shitless! I felt your excitement when you made it out!

It brings me joy to see this! Strong work!

I live in northern Ohio. No rattlesnakes.😊

Why are u wearing sandals lol! Geez..

Congratulations on achieving this goal! Nice feet at the end! 😂😂😂 Was nice to see you back!

Welcome back ...that looked painful now we need a slow and enjoy hike🙂

Glad to see you’re back on trail! 🥾

Awesome video sir, and welcome back. 😊

It’s hiking season! Welcome back! 👍

You’re so good at that you

Watch out for dangerous Illegals #FJB!!

That was a Raven my friend!

As an Arizona native who grew up backpacking all over that region I would suggest wearing boots. They will protect your feet from a lot of hazards in the desert. Rocks, snakes, centipedes etc.

Hope you’re carrying because Mountain Lions see you…..

Looks like hell out their lol, good thing I live in Oregon

that didnt look like a cave. looked like a mine.

This may seem like a silly question to those of you in that area, but why hike on a trail that you know is littered with poisonous snakes? Surely there must be places you can hike in the southwest without needing antivenom.

It only means the rat population is being held down.

Where exactly is this area of Az.?

I grew up in a place called Oracle Arizona (as well as Tucson) and I live in Boston now.. boy oh boy does this video hit home!

in my encounter with a rattlesnake I heard it clearly knew what it was, coiled only about 5 feet from me, which in retrospect surprised me because a family of 3 had just passed by there not more than 2 minutes before. But I backed up and that was probably the most fearful was am I going to walk on another one as I'm trying to get away.

Just came across a small Mojave hiking the Black Gate in Nev, DNWR. My Aussie found him. Close call. She knew to back away quickly, been thru Rattlesnake aversion training. Highly recommend it if you hike with a dog. They are nocturnal in the desert, but you do see them in the Creosote scrub in the late afternoon and early morning. Hiking at night here is tempting fate.

I almost landed on a rattlesnake curled up near the PCT coming down a small rock formation about less than a foot away. I jumped up and yelled like a girl!😆

It's funny how you remember the number because every encounter is a micro-truama.

I was coming from Lake Pleasant and saw the biggest rattle snake I’ve ever seen in Arizona crossing the road,,,I’ve also been anchored in a cove with me in my kids in the water and saw a rattle snake swimming across the cove, I gotta us outta their and never anchored in another cove on that lake! Arizona is invested with rattle snakes!
