I've been watching a lot of JMT videos to prepare myself for the hike. I have to say that these two men made it look so easy!
Haha....good editing?!!!!!! I have to admit we both came out of it without any blisters, twisted ankles, etc....
Enjoyed the video! Thank you for taking us along and for the effort to make the video!
Thank you! Happy Trails.
Fantastic vistas & excellent music, thank you for sharing your journey. Safe travels.
Thanks for the compliments. Happy Trails!!
One of the best hiking video I have ever viewed. Great job. I am a subscriber now!
Thank you very much! Hope to see you on the trail one day...Happy Trails..!!
Nice video - thank you.
Jaw dropping landscape, entertaining guys and a well made production! Thank you!
Many thanks...glad you
enjoyed it.
Thank you for this! What a gift! I was out there 12 days behind you on a solo hike. Never made it to HI due to covid on day 3 out at crabtree. Boy that helicopter scene hit home...I have vivid memories of being holed up in my tent with a raging fever, incessant cough, aches, etc. for 2 nights wondering if I would need a helicopter. I ended up backtracking, recuperating at Mt. Williamson, then getting back on at Onion Valley and making it to Red's.
I loved reliving the parts I hiked, and getting an insider view of what I missed (haha including sections I hiked but in rain & clouds so I missed the views--like Glen Pass). It was so fun to enjoy this and plan for returning to the Sierra!!
Wow Jen...sounds like you made the smart move and took your time and you damn near finished the whole trail...!!! Good for you.
This popped up on my TH-cam feed and I am so glad it did! Watching it from Scotland, the birthplace of the great John Muir. I love watching hiking videos, especially the US ones as the terrain looks so different in different states. Nice food and treats brought by your wife too! Very enjoyable and relaxing. Thank you.
I could watch this over and over again I have watched it 3 times now you two killed this my hats off to you. I will continue to enjoy watching this
Thanks Jon....never knew the re-runs would be so good...!!!!
I’ve done much of the JMT in segments. Aptly named and mind altering experiences.
Pretty hard to describe....would love to do it again!
Ah you guys!!! I have loved every single second of this video! You are a pair of total nutters, but I love that, it helps to get through life to have a sense of humour! Twenty five days together, and two hundred and twenty plus miles would test any friendship, but although there may have been moments, you never came across as anything but good buddies. Your photography was incredible, I never tire of seeing videos of the JMT, but with some I lose interest after a while, not yours, it was absolutely brilliant! Well done you two, I will enjoy this video again and again, everything about it was first class! I would love to hike the JMT myself, but live in the UK, and after being wiped off the road on my motorbike am now disabled, but videos like yours show me again just how beautiful the Sierras are, thank you!!
Jilly....wow thank you so much for the kind words!! I'm glad I could transport you to the Sierras for a brief moment. So sorry to hear about your motorcycle accident, but glad I could bring a smile to you from so far away. The Sierras are amazing and I am fortunate enough to live within a few hours of them. I am lucky to hike with a great group of friends(who I met on one of my first backpacking trips in 2019 on the High Sierra Trail) There are a few other videos on my channel you can take a peek at as well. Hope you have a fantastic holiday.
Fueled my insatiable love for those beautiful mountains. Well done on the production. Very watchable!
Enjoyed your JMT trek. Looks like you both kept in high spirits and humor throughout the journey. I think I'm finally going to take a crack at winning a permit for the 2023 season. It's about time I stop watching everyone else's trip and do my own.
Do it...you won't regret it. Looking forward to watching your journey next year!
Awsome video and experience. I did the Tahoe Rim Trail a few years ago with my son. We are planning Tahoe to Yosemite and JMT in the near future. Thanks for sharing.
Tahoe Rim Trail is on my list. Appreciate the comments.
That was fantastic. Thanks for going to the trouble to film, edit, and share this! Entertaining from end to end, and it confirms my intention to get on that trail in the next few years. Cheers!
Hope you are fortunate to get yourself a permit and get out there...you won't regret it. I miss it already.
Great review.
Excellent video. I appreciated how you "experienced" all of the resupply points and took your time to enjoy the trail. Very inspirational.
Thanks! Hope I inspire others to attempt this amazing hike.!
so captivating!
Pure wilderness bliss, man. Nice music selections, too. Flowed with the landscape.
Thanks! Choosing the right music is harder than editing all this footage!
Great video man! Very well put together. Looks like you had a great time. Cheers. :)
What a great journey. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent work !! 👋😃
Thanks Wayne!
Great video.
Thank you!
Wonderful scenery! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you! Perfect holiday vacation viewing, and that time lapse at the end is stunning. I hope to do the JMT soon. Happy trails!
Great video. Many memories come flooding back. Definitively, the hike of a lifetime. Did it June 29 'till 18 July, met nice people, amazed by the beauty everywhere, and ...deep blue sky each day. Thanks.
Your video was thoroughly enjoyable on many levels. You captured the beauty of the JMT. Thanks for sharing your awesome adventure!
Thank you so much! Trip and editing are all so much fun.
Wow. This was one of the most enjoyable and well done videos of a thru hike I’ve seen to date.
You guys are awesome! Congrats on completing the JMT
Thank you. Appreciate the nice comments. It is an amazing trail that exudes beauty.
The Rainbow fire was in 1992. Since then there have been multiple “Mono Wind” events (100+ mph) through that canyon causing the trees to snap off…leaving behind the tall stumps. Pretty interesting weather phenomenon many hikers overlook this and consider this area of the JMT as least scenic and boring. The forest is making a great recovery.
Thanks for the great video. Probably passed you going opposite direction near Rae Lakes this summer.
Thanks for the info. It was surreal walking through that section...beautiful in many ways. Hope you had a great hike!
Over the years I've been looking at the videos posted by thru hikers as they pass through this area and how dry, desolate and exposed it looked. But as I watched one particular video earlier this summer I was struck by how the scenery has finally changed. It's taking on a more lush appearance as the understory has spread throughout, and especially with the proliferation of new trees that are becoming more prominent. It makes me happy to see it, but boy did it take a long time.
Thank you for helping me relive my jokes 2021
Thanks! Loved this video!!!!
Hi, great video ! I saw you guys on trail. I passed you between MTR and Sally Keyes Lake. Good to see that you had a great trip. Take care !
Not sure where we passed, but were you eating a some sort of snack just outside of MTR? Netherlands?
@@guyvennerojr.9805 That's correct. You were also snacking 50 yards from me I think. And I'm from France (Réunion Island to be precise)👍
Really beautiful Guy, thanks for sharing. As someone who's just getting going making adventure films and looking to do the JMT at some point this was a fun watch.
Thanks...it's always tough trying to translate what you experience to what you show people. I think it is harder to edit the video than actually hiking the trail..!!!
What an amazing experience! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully someday I'll have time to do the same.
Your video popped up on my you tube. You looked like our type of hikers so I watched it. Glad I did. My merry misfit group showed up on your video at about the 45.5 minute mark. 😂 We were on our way to Sandpiper Lake.
Ha....How cool is that? I remember your group! Honestly I remember your dog and how I missed my 2 back home. Happy Trails!!!
@@guyvennerojr.9805 It's always the dogs who get remembered 😁. Actually only Tucker was hiking with us. The older Golden Retriever got to play at the beach for a week. Good video.
Mintue 46. Our group with the golden. We know the feeling of missing our goldens while on trail. Glad we could provide trail magic via a golden. Great video
@@cherylmitchell2808 You can take alook at some of my other videos and see my 2 Goldens....they love to hike as well.
Just found this, nothing like watching a couple of "old Farts" having fun in the woods. Made my afternoon/evening. So, when are you two heading off again?
Try to plan yearly trips with a group of 5 "seasoned" hikers..!! I have a trip I'm editing froma section of the AT with another one of our group. Thanks for watching!
One could hike out West or in the East, and one chooses the AT? What?! The views alone on the trail, the PCT, the Arizona are simply the word the ancient Chinese use for our country which translates into Beautiful Land.
Great job capturing the beauty of the JMT! Did you use your phone camera? Excellent! Thx
I used my GoPro Hero 10 and took pix with my iphone 10.
👌👌👌
Enjoyed your video very much! My husband and I did the same thru hike right after you 8/22-9/12. (No BUGS) So fun to relive our hike with your video. Can you tell me what you used to film your hike? Thanks again!
I used my GoPro Hero 10...for all my video.
Looks like it took a big toll on your body.
Great video. I cannot find the names of the musical artists. I love the music in here as well. Would you be able to point me in the right direction? Thank you.

Awesome job! Great highlights if the journey which I hope to do one day. What camera did you use?
Hey Greg....video was with my GoPro Hero 10 and stills with my iPhone 12 Pro. Thanks for the comments.
@@guyvennerojr.9805 wow, great footage and editing. I do some videos and know how hard this is to get a nice finished product like yours.
What video editor do you use and music source? Thx for the kind reply.
@@gregpatterson134 I use an old version of Adobe Premier Pro 5.5. My music is from Musicbed...there is a subscription pricing for it, but at least nothing gets bounced by TH-cam. Musicbed has a ton of choices and honestly picking the right music is harder than editing!!!
I called the "Sierra".
It's my nature not to want to camp on the surface of the earth. That was for younger people to do now I want to be oh in a shelter on top of my vehicle. I know snakes are less likely to slither in, bugs to invade, or even mosquitoes to swarm.
All those things are true, but pretty sure those pesky mosquitoes will find you no matter where or how you camp!!
Listening to music? And TJ news?? I’m not a purist, but wtf?
My buddy brought along a crank powered radio/light to see what we could get in the back country....This little radio is not powerful enough to get a signal from TJ, probably Visalia or Central California. It wasn't worth the weight so he dropped it off after our first resupply. And as far as listening to music on hikes, you would be surprised at how many hikers use music or podcasts to get them through long stretches of the trail. And I'm no purist either...left my canvas backpack, food wrapped in banana leaves and leather shoes back at the house!!!
