    I am so enjoying your videos! I am planning to hike the PCT in 2031 in memory of my late son. Watching your videos as well as others both motivates me and educates/preps me! Thx for sharing.

      @@sharamckinney575 I am very sorry to hear about your son. Thank you for the kind words about the videos. I hiked the trail in memory of my aunt, whose wise words motivated me to finally jump on this grand adventure, after dreaming of it for years. I’m rooting for you on a 2031 PCT completion!

    These videos are so well done. Between the videography, narration, the story itself,.. I'm chomping at the bit for the next one. :-)

      I’m glad to hear! Thank you for watching. I turned 32 a couple days after getting off trail. How about yourself? Which section did you do and do you plan on getting back on the trail for the rest?

      @@carlblanchet I made it from Campo to Mt. Whitney. Almost to the top, but turned around due to not coping well with the altitude surprisingly. This led to a 2 week off-trail time, including a stay at the west side of the Sierra mountains, a visit of Yosemite, and concluded in a flip to Cascade Locks to tackle Washington. However, those two weeks completely broke my experience, making me decide to quit and turn back home, where other duties waited for me. This was my first day-to-day hiking experience and I loved it. Now I am waiting for a time in the next 10 years, where I can retry this monumental adventure :) Looking forward to all your content the next weeks :)

    I used a Hyperlite 55L on the CDT and it was very uncomfortable on my shoulders; constantly trying to adjust to relieve the pain.

    • @carlblanchet

      I had the exact same experience. I met several people who did not experience this, somehow. But I would not use it again next time.

    bro you getting blistered all the time
    algorithm brought me here but I'll save you
    drop those lame shoes and get Vibram Spyridon EVO, V-Trail 2.0, and V-Alpha - now you can carry a few pairs (maybe even get one size up on some of them so you can switch into a better fitting shoe in the afternoon depending on how much your particular feet swell on extended hikes
    not affiliated, I just hate crappy shoes for running around in the outdoors
    I bet Vibram would sponsor you too, if you asked them and showed how you're regularly uploading content - just make sure your camera points at your feet every now and then and take time to express gratitude that so many of the old issues are gone that you forget to express gratitude sometimes and to take a moment just to enjoy things *not* hurting or torn up

    • @carlblanchet
      @carlblanchet  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for the advice! The blisters were definitely pretty bad.. This was my first time trying the Altra shoes. I will take a look at the ones you mentioned and trying to get a sponsorship is a great idea. I appreciate your comment. Cheers
