ABOUT ME
Californian exploring the world. Here to share adventures and give you tips about travel, culture, language, and life.
Wow those shots at sunrise were absolutely stunning! Haha we are the worst at snoozing our alarms just in everyday life. When we are on trips we always plan to get up early to go out and take photos and film content but always snooze our alarms! 😂 Can't imagine how much you would want to when walking all those miles for so many days!!
It was soooo hard to get out of the tent some mornings!!
I’m so glad you waited to edit and upload these! All that beautiful editing, music, and work put into story telling isn’t going unnoticed!
Also, I love how it has lined up with class of 2020 prepping for the PCT. I’m getting so excited!
Aw thank you Jesse! And yay sooo excited for you!!!
I remember you posted about your iPad giving you trouble so you couldn't edit videos while you were out on the trail. Thank you for taking the time now to put together these videos and sharing them.
It’s fun now going back through the footage - feels like so long ago!
Love those sunrise silhouette moments. You have so many precious memories. Thanks for including maps that show where you are. My sympathy for the road walking feet and the instant coffee. I can't decide which is worse but I suspect it might be instant coffee 🤣
😂
Did Nick ever get a trail name? I probably would have named him Jugs! Those front water bottles are great!
1st video I have watched for a long time since I am in the Middle East. Followed you because of Christchurch and my annual travels there.
Lived near this area for 3 years. The high desert is amazing in winter and during summer nights.
Too many LA people trying to be hikers there. Hope to catch more of your PCT adventures
Taco 🌮🥗 Salad! 🤣 New vid... wOOt! That sunrise on the aqueduct looked amazing! Your mellow-cool personality, commentary & mega watt smile keep me interested & inspired. Looking foward to the rest of the PCT thru your lens. PS: Alternate trail names: Cali-Mari & SNickerdoodle?!? 😁🤔 Cheers! 🍺
It's so wonderful, I just found your channel like 3 days ago and have watched all your PCT vlogs and videos, and now it's perfect timing because you're putting them out again! This is so helpful, thank you for sharing!
💖
i know I'm quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to watch new movies online?
@Alonso Jaden Lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it on google =)
@Fabian Jax yea, have been using flixzone for years myself :D
@Fabian Jax thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :D Appreciate it!
Enjoying the updates Mari. Those early morning desert sections were impressive 👊😎...
Great shots in the desert. Your skills with the camera are awesome.
The desert was so photogenic!
I showed my friend a couple of your videos the other day and as soon as you first came on the screen she said, “she’s living outside and she looks that gorgeous?! Unfair.” 💕
The sunglasses and hat hide a lot 😂
I’ve been here for years, hat or no hat you’re being modest! Lol you’re gorgeous!
Hi Mari and Nick!!! Great seeing your trail journey again.
Cheers John!
another great video - love the sunrise shots and great editing as others have said. Nick talks just the right amount. His trail name should be koiwoi!
Nice video, you and Nick make it look so easy and relaxed hiking the PCT..
Haha the sweat dripping off my face and me complaining about my shoes reminds me how it wasn’t easy 🤣
I think I need to stop watching your vlogs. Lately I'm always getting hungry for taco salad watching them, I don't know why. 😂🥗
😂
Beautiful shots Mari! Love to see the videos being posted again :)
Thanks Claire!
Nice job Taco Salad! You have been walking along the San Andreas Fault from about the time you were at White Water till the time you entered the Mojave Desert at the LA Aquaduct.
I'm glad it didn't decide to move while I was there!
And I would walk 500 more
, Just to be the ONE who walks 2 thousand miles, To fall down at your door. Just had to say it. SAFE HIKING
Haha oh no now it’s going to be stuck in my head!
Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼
Yayyyyyyyy sitting on my desk at work, and counting down the days for april 2021 pct hike. Thanks for sharing with us Mari!! X
Woohoo! It’ll be here before you know it!
The shots and music when you're walkinng on the pipe are really pretty
Thank you! I spent a lot of time working on that part :)
I admire you so much, hiking the PCT is badass!
Awesome video! Love seeing the desert! Thanks Mari & Nick for sharing this amazing adventure!
So happy you documented your PCT journey and sharing it with us!! I’m really enjoying your videos. It’s making we me want to explore more of the PCT here in SoCal. 😁
Ooh I hope you do go exploring! There’s so much so close to you! 😊
Always love watching your videos... I would love for you to do a gear video of what worked for you and what you exchanged during the hike (gear that actually didn’t work out).
I definitely plan on doing some videos like that! Just trying to get more vlogs out before then 😊
Right on Mari 🤙🏽
OK, I know I am way late on this, but watching as research for a 2021 hike. Congratulations on your 10 by 10. Did you ever do a 24 in 24? A lot of folks did that on the AT in 2019 (24 beers in 24 hours).
Ok, I’m obviously a little late to the game, but I’ve binged this far in half a day. Definitely one of my new favorite cinematographers! I really love how you go day by day. It’s almost like I’m doing trail recon watching.
Nick was probably reluctant to talk because of his accent,I know how he feels I'm Aussie.When I went to the US I didnt want to talk much to Americans because I didnt want them to think what a weird accent lol
I would think the owners of those dogs (and their neighbors) would get sick of hearing them bark at every hiker that walks past . @3:57 . . . I hiked that in the fall when it was cold and they were still barking LOL
Love the vlogs..It looks like it takes a strong mind as well as body to do the thru-hikes..
Is trail name should be Gabby- a he doesn’t say much.
I've asked before, so I'll ask again: What was your longest stretch between re-supply/town stops?
Definitely over a week in the Sierra, don’t quite remember but the videos will be out soon!
windfarms! I think I saw those when I played GTA 5
Good night dear friend I love you dear
@12:29 Mile 549 is where I was in a wind storm that I and others had to camp in that sounded like a freight train going by all night long and blew everyone's tents down and damaged a few of them. And we were all tucked in behind bushes. It never stopped till after the sun came up. There were dozens of dead trees knocked down across the trail between there and Tehachapi. That was probably the worst spot on the entire trail for me haha Within a few hours after sun up it was a beautiful day
Eek sounds like an intense night!
So WTF, first I don't see you on twit much anymore then I see you're back in the US, now I think I saw that you've moved to my home town Wellington?.......what's going diggly-down dude?
These videos are great! I have been thinking about trying the PCT once my knee is strong enough (had major surgery the end of last year). I will say, your music is always awesome :)
The long flat aquaduct is quite the contrast from the land of the long white cloud is it not?
The sensible question is this: How is a flat aquaduct supposed to be part of the "Pacific crest"?
Simple Answer: It's not.
Geographically, it is NOT where the trail should be, but there's a reason.
The reason is the necessity to bypass a HUGE piece of private property: The Tejon Ranch.
I don't know much more details, but rumors abound that someday the owners will allow a trail up and down their hills, so the trail will no longer need to follow that dumb flat stretch.
When that will happen, who knows.
Ah that’s so interesting! Thanks!
Those night shots with the lights in the background are really beautiful Mari. Always gives me a feeling that is hard to describe.
Nick does seem to be getting better in front of the camera. I've seen a lot of hikers ease into it as time goes by. Standing by for the trail-name reveal 🧐
The only thing that I know about Tehachapi is that it is mentioned in The Little Feat song Willin'.
Love seeing where you have been! New adventures every day. Stunning sunrise footage 💗
Haven't watched your vlogs for a year or so, and here you are together, so pleased.
loving these videos. thanks for sharing!
For future hikers, I would like to dispell a common misperception.
Weather, time of day, and time of year (yes, even in SoCal) are The major determining factors on temperature. I lost count how many time people asked me about the "hot" sections going NoBo (northbound for them). I went through SoBo and the sections I got asked about were wicked cold in April (mostly the first half). The NoBo hikers were bound to go through the same sections in the latter part of may.
I needed major warming layers, esp. at night and they needed sunscreen, extra water, etc.
Beware preset expectations on the conditions, especially regarding weather which is inherently variable, by definition (unless you are visiting the coastal cities maybe).
For various reasons I hiked the LA Aquaduct mostly at night (SoBo) and it wasn't so bad until about 2 am. By 3 am I was so miserable (freezing cold + windchill) and I was in a very strict No Camping zone. Of course I survived, but I have no wish to ever repeat that experience.
Glad to find you, all my other 2019 (7) PCT hikers I followed are back home and vlogs have finished. Looks like #12 is your most recent. Hope you post frequently since we know you are home and all the realities of work have returned! Like your style.
Don’t worry, there’s many more videos to come!
Do you take much time picking the music? Have you ever picked the music first....then tried to 'step' to the music in your head?
I always pick the music afterwards and sometimes it takes a really long time! 😊
I’ve been enjoying your videos. I am preparing to hike the PCT starting in April. Not sure if you answered but what was your start date. Seeing how dates will play out compared to yours.
I started April 21. Excited for you!
Awesome, I will be starting April 18 so I should be on your same time frame. Thanks, I am excited to be out there and can’t wait!!!
i love you mari
🙂👍
Great video!
Nick is a Kiwi
We do
Don't talk
Mind you I talk
I met several Kiwis on the PCTs in SoCal. Sadly, I missed Mari and Nick somehow.
The Kiwis I met all seemed to have some concern about how to deal with beers while out hiking.
This seemed like an odd issue. Side note - none of the German hikers had such an issue, but they could set a pretty mean pace when beer is mentioned.
Anyway, I finally figured out the issue, and had a good laugh. You see NZ has beer just like California has beer. But there are differences. California doesn't have Hokey Pokey ice cream, and New Zealand doesn't have beers. Wha??
And btw, not to change the topic, but Australia has Koaler Beers, but they aren't actually real beers, they're marsupials. 😝
@@sempergumby3929 very cool statement
I love red wine cheap wine or Argentinian wine
South African wine
NZ once was rugby racing and beer
Off to Australia next week
Yea, true, your videos would be more fun if you encouraged Nick to be involved more. I mean two people putting in their own perspectives makes for lots of diverse and interesting stuff to consider and enjoy from an entertainment aspect....at least from the audiences perspective.
You said in the beginning you were girlfriend and boyfriend... never seen any affection nor a kiss , and now I'm on episode 12. Plz show a tad of affection towards each other!
