What hiking paints did you say we're your favorite ❤?

Love your videos. Thank you.

I’ve watched your JMT videos more than any others. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

The codeine is definitely past its half life at 1 year throw that crap away if you haven’t already unless you like feeling sick.

Awesome video! I enjoyed watching your trip. I would like to hike the entire JMT one day. 😊

Maybe I missed it. But, what do you do on the trail for that time of the month? My wife has a irregular cycle and sometimes starts at times we dont expect. Is there a good way to deal with this?

I know that it’s been a few years for you, but I am finally going this year. Super, super. helpful information. I keep going back and forth with the rain pants and I think you and current weather have convinced me. I have the BRS stove that I had used for years, but I am bringing my MSR pocket rocker on this venture as I know it will require less fuel.

Your link points to a 4 pound sleeping bag. Wonder if something changed on the product or amazon side.

One thing to say about water: You are not only using water to drink, you are suing water to cook breakfast, lunch, dinner--including water for coffee or hot chocolate. Cooking water for the needs of a single meal could use up to half or more of your 1 liter bottle of water. I also find that nights are long, and a light for night-time reading is crucial, as well as light to find your way to camp latrines.

this is what happens when asians try backpacking . every recommendation item is cheap , tacky and about saving that extra penny. asians ruin everything!

Thank you for your video, looks like an outstanding hike. I’ve hiked to from HI to Bishop pass so far I hope to finish the trail next year. Good gear round up.

Time flies, it has been 7 years now

I'm pretty sure those plants with purple flowers growing among the burned trees at 12:12 are the well-known, and dreaded, "poodle dog bush" (going on descriptions I've read; never seen the stuff myself). Did you brush against it and have any skin reaction? It is supposed to be similar to poison ivy or poison oak. Great video series! I live in LA and you have convinced me I have to do part of this trail -- though I doubt I will do the whole thing as I am old enough that I don't need big physical challenges any more. 🤣

Charming narration!

Do you have an itinerary or nutrition video for JMT? I’m solo UL it aiming for less than 10 days. I’m an pretty avid trail ultra marathoner and I’d have to say the nutrition carry is my biggest concern.

Outstanding!

Too heavy for this old git 😬

I enjoyed your video very much. I've been backpacking for a long time, and as I get older it is imperative to go lighter. This video helped in that regard. (19 lbs, wow!) It was very well organized. I didn't know about those coin towels, something I'll take from now on. I purchased the Gregory Optic backpack. I find it very comfortable to wear. Some reviewers for the pack said the hip belt tore at the seam next to the lumbar pad. Did you have any issues with the pack? Thank you! Great video!

Great video/presentation. I've never hiked the JMT, done pieces while hiking but just not the JMT. It's on my list now though. How did the campgrounds work? Was it assigned or first come. Thanx for the video!

Great video! Im not sure what the real difference between exoficcio underwear and standard nylon hanes underwear, which last forever, and weigh nothing.

19 lbs!! that's quite impressive - I average around 25-30 lbs for a 4-day trek lol. Thank you for the video! I learned of so many items I had no idea even existed but super excited to try (toilet paper tablets!?? pee cloth??? what life changing inventions).

Great list and video, thanks! Lots of great ideas here, loved the way to backflush the Platy Filter! Did you have any concerns about pouring boiling water into a Ziploc bag, and the hot water leeching plastic into your meals? There are plastic bags designed for boiling water. Thanks again!

Thank you! That was a lot of good info.

2x more weight than you need. UL is also actually cheaper item by item in your kit.

Whered you buy your tubes?

I really enjoyed your JMT videos. I'm going to do it solo for my 65th birthday. Really looking forward to it.

I like your video, I'm going to try the JMT this year in Sept too. I booked my spot, but I feel like I'm not yet ready, sort of an if I'm ready, I'm going reservation. I just thought it would be so pretty there, but I want to know I will be ok with the altitude, so I plan a short overnight or two at altitude, before then.

Excellent excellent job! Extremely practical, common sense, and realistic. Thank you very much

Ty

I have the same Tilley hat. Also love it.

Great! Very informative and well presented. I got a bunch of good ideas from what you showed us!

what brand are the sunglasses that you wore?

Great video. You mentioned some issues with your feet. Would you consider trail runners next time?

Excellent!

Fantastic videos! So beautiful, funny and positive.

Great gear presentation. I’m living at a higher elevation, so mostly hiking is above 6,000 ft. Even in summer, mornings and nights are chilly. Appreciate your helpful info, JMT was my initial inspiration for backpacking almost 50 years ago, still calls great memories.

Portable bidet 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Best gear list Ive ever seen... Thank you!!!

GREAT breakdown! You know you can rent the inreach minis. Much cheaper.

Great info....thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the gear review and list. I have done 99% of my hiking in/around New England. This will be somewhat different for me and I can use all the tips/lists I can get. I anticipate a similar pack weight and will bring some rain pants. What do you think about a lightweight trail umbrella for sun and rain?

Loved your series, you did a great job with the videos. You too be safe.

Great video, Thanks

I'm binge watching the series right now and loving it. I love the different details that you do. Like changing the caption around Kearsarge Leeks, lakes, etc. That was hilarious. And the mule train coming down Glenn Pass fast! Lol I would have stayed in the Grove of trees just below Muir pass too but it was full and almost dark, so I got to the hut at 9pm and slept in there. Lol Sorry you didn't make Whitney. It wasn't that bad and I'm old with little experience plus 50lbs over weight. It helped that I didn't have my full pack. Pinchot kicked my butt. I was on top in a hail and lightning storm. Not a soul in sight. Lol 😆 Great job on the video and trip.

Nice series 👍🏼. May have to put that one on the list.....sigh.... 😎

SPAM = Cat Food....LOL YES! I can handle if I fry it though....

Nice - look forward to sitting down and watching the series!

Brilliant Video Thanks!

Very well done my dear Great presentation Tks

These are such great affordable gear options! Thank you so much for your knowledge 🤗
