    This was by far the best PCT thru-hike story on TH-cam. Each has its value and takeaways but this one, for me, is outstanding. Well done, great edits and stories, music, and day counter. My only regret was hat it was not longer or done a two-parts. Sections were compressed and for me - a bit of a loss of the experience. All in all. Well done. I'm going to seek out other video' from "Friendly". Subscribe.

      Thanks Carl! This means a lot to us. We've done our best to make it a balanced movie, so not to much about us but more about the trail and what we see and what you can expect while hiking. The problem with making it in two or more parts is that a lot of people won't watch it till the end. Which is a shame. We try to make a full feature movie, and here in Europe it was shown in small theatres. Thanks again for your kind words!

    Fantastic! I've watched a bunch of PCT docs, and yours is by far my favorite! I love that you show the changing scenery each day, so we can really see what the trail is like in various locations. Then, when you do stop to highlight a certain place or event, it makes it more meaningful since it stands out from the daily grind.

    • @FriendlyHiker
      @FriendlyHiker  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! That means a lot to us :-) That is what we liked about the trail a lot. Not only the distance but the change in scenery. From desert animals and plants to High alpine mountains with marmots... It was one awesome experience and we already decided to do it again in 10 years from now!

    I think this is the first video on TH-cam I have ever watched that was more than 1 hour and 20 minutes long... and I enjoyed every minute of it!

    The music and narration are every bit as WONDERFUL as the film work and editing. All around a wonderful film, one of the best thru hiking documentaries I've ever seen. it conveys the emotion of the trail so well. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

  • @BMC-hl2uh
    @BMC-hl2uh 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What is such a pleasure with this video is the people are enjoying & appreciating the environment and attractions along the way. Every other video I watch on Pacific Trail is been there, done that type of approach. Well Done.

    • @FriendlyHiker
      @FriendlyHiker  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      :-) thanks for noticing. In the long distance hiking community there are roughly 3 groups. The ones that party and hang out in towns a lot (you see them a lot on the Appalachian trail). The ones that are going for 30+ miles a day with ultra light packs. And the explorer types that look at flowers, animals, great scenery and swim in lakes a lot. We are in that last group. Glad that it showed. Life is aweseome. Especially on a trail like this.We enjoyed every minute of it.

    Thank you so much for sharing your journey on TH-cam. I have seen quite a few videos about the PCT and have found yours
    the best one yet. I want so much to take a journey on the PCT myself, but recently had knee replacement surgery. I'm going to take short 2-3 day hikes this summer to build up my endurance.
    I live in utah, so there are plenty of places to hike.
    Thank you again.
    Blessings!

    • @FriendlyHiker
      @FriendlyHiker  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the kind words :-) To bad to hear from your knee though. Short hikes on the PCT are actually doable. We met many day/weekend hikers on the trail. Always around a resupply town or at certain sections in National Parks. The longest sections on the trail without food are usually not more than seven. 5 on avarerage. So once you get your endurance back, you will make it!

The Field Trip mom, and her four boys still have the best piece meal video of the PCT, it would be so nice if you could collaborate a complete movie for them by editing and putting to music all the filming they have done during their hike on the PCT in 2021. They also hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2020, as well as the Arizona Trail, along with the CDT in 2023, to complete their Triple Crown Achievement.

    It's too bad you missed hiking on Mount Adams. The Mount Adams Wilderness is one of my favorite spots in all of Washington. The PCT passes by the High Camp Trail, which climbs up to an epic vista of the Adams Glacier. The PCT on Adams also passes through many beautiful parklands, lakes, and streams such as Horseshoe Meadow, Crystal Lake, Mutton Creek Lava Flow, and Killen Creek Meadows.

      +Elemental Fluttershy★ Thanks for the tip! We decided to go back to Washington in the coming years, to do Olympic (Hoh trail, the coast etc). And wanted to revisit the Goat Rocks and hike around Mt. Rainier. But Adams just entered that list too :-) Thanks. Will be a long vacation but totally woth it.

      Friendly Hiker Oh, yes, the Hoh River Trail is a good choice! Also consider checking out the Spider Gap-Buck Creek Pass loop in the Glacier Peak Wilderness and the Enchantment Lakes Traverse in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
      My personal recommendation for the #1 best hike on Mount Adams is the Bird Creek Meadows-Iceberg Lake hike. Wildlife (mountain goats), glaciers, meadows, canyon vistas, waterfalls, and lakes abound. It is located in the Mount Adams Recreation Area on the southwest side of the mountain. While this hike isn't a backpacking trail, backcountry camping is allowed at Sunrise Camp. www.wta.org/go-hiking/trip-reports/trip_report.2015-10-16.2041219417
      High Camp via the Divide Camp Trailhead is quite amazing. It is quite popular and located on the northwest side of the mountain, just off of the PCT. It is a gorgeous glacial basin located at the base of Adams Glacier.
      Just above High Camp, you can make the short hike off-trail to Glacier Lake, which sits at the base of the glacier. High Camp is backpackable. High Camp has the best maintained trail, (compared to the other two options I gave which require some minimal route-finding along lesser-maintained trails.)
      Most online hiking guides describe taking the Killen Creek Trail, but I would recommend taking the Divide Camp Trail instead, since the Killen Creek Trail is quite dusty. Plus, the Divide Camp Trail is a lot greener. www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=2895316
      Foggy Flat, Devils Garden, & Avalanche Valley is probably the best backpacking trip on Mount Adams, but can be pretty rugged. The views from the campsite at Avalanche Valley is jaw-dropping. www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/mount-adams-highline

    Zo leuk om een Nederlands verslag van deze Trail te zien. Dit is voor mij nu nog een droom, maar wie weet in de toekomst. Goed gedaan.

    • @FriendlyHiker
      @FriendlyHiker  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hallo Tresja. Bedankt voor het mooie compliment! Een droom, ja dat was het voor ons ook een aantal jaren. Totdat we de knoop doorhakten en besloten om het gewoon te doen. Een van de beste beslissingen ooit. We hopen dat je op een gegeven moment het ook kan doen. Het is een pracht ervaring die je leven zeker gaat veranderen.
      PS. mocht je van lezen houden. Deze film is gemaakt om het boek dat we schreven van beelden te voorzien. Ze completeren elkaar. In ons boek (Een half jaar met drie onderbroeken) komen nog veel meer avonturen aan bod en worden de emoties, wat we beleven, sterk in beeld gebracht. Dat kon helaas niet in de film. Nogmaals bedankt en hopelijk ga je het ook doen!

    Phenomenal video guys, was absorbed on your trek throughout the whole video. Great choice of music. Thanks for sharing your trek with us. What was your highlight of the trip?

    • @FriendlyHiker
      @FriendlyHiker  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Scott. Glad you liked it so much, we worked on it for months :-) There were many highlights. From bear encounters to reaching the northern terminus statue. The constant changing of the terrain, from desert to high alpine. Changing in animal and plant species plus the changing of the seasons. The awesome views, great people we met... One of the highlights our life we think is the entire trail itself !

      +Jack Gray Thanks Jack! As a kid, David Attenborough and Jacques Cousteau were our heroes. And now we are making adventure documentaries ourselves, that people really seem to enjoy. Thanks for this positive feedback. It really means a lot to us.

    • @FriendlyHiker
      @FriendlyHiker  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Chaz. The hauling of the gear wasn't that bad. Because of the length of the trail, we went light weight and had to leave our professional stuff at home. The whole movie was shot with a GoPro Hero 3+ black edition (video) and an Iphone 6 (stills).
