- After releasing the full Appalachian Trail video a lot of people asked if there would be a full movie version of my PCT thru-hike. So I decided to make a full documentary my last PCT video before shifting gears for the CDT!

I'm disabled and can't hike (much less walk). I love living vicariously through these videos to see places that are inaccessible to me. Thanks for making your videos!
Me too. xxx
Totally agree. I was an avid runner 'til osteoarthritis took my knees. I thoroughly enjoy hiking videos and camping.
Yes indeed
Actually I'm trying to figure away to get disabled folks to great hikes. Ive got OA both knees, back stenosis, chronic fatigue...
Maybe do a camp magic for 4 hours or plan a smaller doable hike with chair ( I know mountain won't do, but some can!)
As I'm in bed recovering from fatigue and pain, the idea of a small hike with help sound do able ( 5 miles 2.5 in... Camp hike out )
It's the journey not miles
If I'm thinking about it, I've hired a disabled trainer who understands..
Rave n I love these videos toowith i hope of doing hiking for my biggest part of my therapy. luckily my issues are neurological.
'I remember people telling me when I was a little girl not to live with my head in the clouds and you know what? I'm still not listening.' That was my favourite moment.
OMG I just saw that part and had a small moment of happiness.
1:35:24
My head is in the clouds and I'm still not listening also.
56:35..."a bad day on trail is still better than a good day at work"
very wise words :)
...very true for 99% of the population. Work for most people sucks balls.... especially if you work for any large, bureaucratic organization where you're treated like a cog in a machine.
I love my job... I build stuff... so when I am out on the trail it is just such an incredible time.... OH, I live in Washington State.... which is two environments in one state. West of the Cascades is green to the point of a rain forest, East of the Cascades is dry with many rivers.... great place to live.
Amen brother.
can relate
That needs to go on a t-shirt...
This is one of the most inspiring documentaries I've seen in my 41 years on this planet. I felt your range of emotions. I've been lucky enough to spend a lot of time outdoors and in the back country and I felt your triumphs and pain. The mountains are magic. Thank you for sharing your experience. 💙🏔🏞🤙
Time to get cheesy. This is honestly my favorite video that anybody has done of the PCT. First, I commend your spirit and bravery for taking the trip on as a lone woman and for seeing it through to the end. I appreciate that you shared your vulnerable moments of stress and fear with us and how you didn’t let it get the best of you. Obviously the sweeping views and gorgeous landscapes were breathtaking but I loved that you took the time to show us the beauty that lies in the small things on the trail. A heartfelt congratulations on completing the PCT and making women proud, and a big thank you for the amazing video and inspiration for my future hike!
She's pretty , she's fun , and she's nice :
AND SHE'S A HIKER :
ALL FUN TO WATCH :)
I don't think she was alone.
I love this girl. She reminds me of the book “Wild” She makes me want to hike the PCT
Doesn't matter who you are....Congrats to anyone who can complete it!
@Rita Gibbs nope all filmed on a go pro!
I didn't even know I wanted to do something like this until I watched this.
I car camp and hike, never backpacked before.
Have you tried backpacking yet?
Maybe he's on the trail now!😎
Just watched this again. I had not paid attention about a mom and his son. Mom was diagnosed with glaucoma and was hiking the trial. I was diagnosed with glaucoma at 40 and since that day I have been teaching my girls how to backpack and hike. Inspirational. Thank you Jessica.
Watched all three now and it’s already inspired me and my 8 year old daughter to hike again., we did our first this last weekend and will be doing many more. I used to hike a lot but life got in the way, time to take my life back 😀
Hell yeah!! Happy trails friend
This is the best film I’ve ever enjoyed on TH-cam. I enjoyed every moment of it. You have mental toughness & grit Bravely done!
Used to watch your videos with my dad every night. Good to find you again Dixie.
The fact I've been watching your videos for weeks now and only just learned your name is Jessica and not, in fact, Dixie 😂
Can't be. She looks exactly like a Dixie. Wtf.
I am 59 years old, when I was 12 I went across the country with my school. We hiked Glacier National Park, Sierra National Park for two weeks each. We hike along the Seattle coast line and did Brice Canyon by mule. This wonderful video brings me back to that summer when I was so young and learned so much about this beautiful Country we all live in. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us.
Singing: "And then they say, 'Is she anemic yet?'"
*mashes like button* Omg.
I had to laugh so bad at this point. Totally related. Experienced a similar battle with mosquito's in Norway. They never seem to be satisfied.
Holy crap, this doc is amazing. I can't believe this is amateur, you rock Dixie! Thanks for being such an inspiration. This is giving me the encouragement I need to attempt my backpacking dreams.
Anybody who would rescue an ant won't have any problem saving the world! Seriously, you were the first hiking channel where I went back to the first vid and binge watched. Here's to continued success as you traverse America!
There are things that are priceless, imagine showing a video like this to your grandchildren in your old age, many of us want to enjoy the view from the top of a great mountain, but few of us dare to face the challenges that the climb represents.
Dixie, I'm so proud of you! Thank you for taking me along for the ride. I forgot about life for a while. Be safe and keep hiking.
That spider catching a mosquito is the best thing I've ever seen.
Also, Dixie, your videos are great and your perspective on hiking and facing challenges is so inspiring! Thanks for bringing us along!
The deer walks out between you and your camera? No way!! What a remarkable shot. What a remarkable video. What a remarkable journey.
Girl! You are too much with that 24 hour challenge! Amazing!!
Ya know what I find super refreshing about Dixie's videos, unlike tons of other content providers, she's not using the "Sexy Girl" angle to get eyes on her channel. Video footage is top quality, editing is great, soundtrack is solid, narration is excellent (especially for an engineer :-). Scenery is nice too!
HOLY CRAPAMOLY! Just shaking my head. “24 hour challenge” 62 miles, what a tough pretty, little BAMA GIRL! Way to go, Jessica/Dixie. You’re a triple crowner now. What’s next? What ever you decide, you have a character of steel. You will succeed. Texas. PS: This is 3 years after I watched this the first time. Back in the 70’s my wife and two year daughter left me in Germany to go back to Tennessee to have our second daughter. My daughter was just learning to talk. My wife taught her to sing, “You Are My Sunshine”. She sang the whole song to me over the phone. Whew! When you started the song, so far from home, well, it brought back sweet memories. I live in Kentucky, now. Thanks, again.
Just in case no one else has said it a thousand times already, you are bloody amazing.
oh wow! The solar eclipse of 2017 was my first solar eclipse, and it's so cool to think that at that point you were hiking this trail.
Wonderful documentary Dixie. Had a tear in my eye there at the end. Your courage, your determination, your sense of your place in the world around you are inspiring. Our backpacking days are behind us, but my husband has been a member of the PCTA for nearly 30 years and he did volunteer trail clearing in the Desolation Wilderness area for 25 years, every summer. To Pulaski's, McClouds and 'blow-downs', and to life's adventures. Looking forward to watching your other trail documentaries.
30:00 I cant even imagine the emotions that hit after hiking all night, reaching the peak, completely exhausted just in time to see that STUNNING sunrise. I about cried just watching it.
Well, there goes my productivity this afternoon. Thank you.
I failed my 2017 thru only 500 miles in. I successfully completed my thru in 2021 after much more research and proper preparation. Your videos are so amazing. Everytime I find myself missing the trail again, I come back and watch this over and over. You are appreciated Dixie! Tenderfoot pct class of 2021
Fantastic film... really enjoyed all of it! Certified HARD CHARGER!! ...you clearly have the very best trail spirit.
the best movie Ive ever watched to be honest, along with the CDT compilation movie. It is just... speechless.
Seriously, I teared up like a dozen times watching this. Between the downright stunning views, the warmth and generosity of people along the way, and the many small triumphs that added up to the end, this was an amazing video.
I don't know what it is about you Dixie but I've been watching all of your videos nonstop since I discovered you yesterday. I'm 19 years old and I am scared for my future, but watching your videos makes me think that I am capable of, and strong enough, to live a life I truly think is worth living. I hope you know how much of an impact you've made on my life. Thank you.
Elizabeth don't beso serious. If you want to go do something go do it . life ift happens. and can get in the way. I was a dad at17 . Stroke at 48 that put me in a wheelchair. All surprise s. Learning to walk with hope s of thru hiking to solidify my therapy. I think at them PCT.strange now I hy the money at time just my body is lagging.dont be afray ot the future be smart y just plan the best you can.
@@shawndyer8140 great advice Shawn I hope you reach your dreams and everything works out for you! Be strong and keep on keepin on as Joe Dirt would say! Let me know how your PT is going from time to time. I’m in your corner…✌🏼
You got the young man confidence that Dixie is one tough woman don't think it is easy.
@@pnwdeerhunter1729 thanks for the encouragement, I love anyone who can qui Joe dirt.
Happy 21!
I have watched this about 35 times so far...thanks for keeping me company so often.😋🥾🥾
You are wonderful! 🌼
Dixie, you are a beast in the best sense, 62 miles! Damn! I watched another person's PCT vid and it was cool that they showed you appreciation as one of the most experienced packers.
The Dadgum windy joke was the very best. When I see the wind turbines from the peaks snowshoeing this week I’m probably gonna bust my seams. We appreciate your humor and video effort! Amazing quality and the experience. Best I’ve seen.
Fricking loved watching every minute of this! So impressive and inspiring I....
No words just 👏 👏 👏 👏
You have a real talent for documentary film making. Great movie. Your ability to bring us all along on your adventures is special. Kudos.
It feels so weird to watch you in shorts walking on the snow! :-)
Wow Jessica I watched all your hiking journeys and enjoyed them but... oh my gosh this documentary is put together so well it had me so emotional through it all. Thank you so much for brightening my day and my love for adventure in nature. your story of your journey touches my soul.
1:03:52, yes Jessica!
Dixie and all the rest, "CONGRATULATIONS Y'all!!" Once again Dixie, Thank You for bringing me along with you, I must say, this is the first time I got to see and be there in spirit with my friend Dixie when you got 'down,' I never thunk I'd ever see it, it makes me think back to the day in Texas when I fell on an oilfield wellhead frac location job sight, sadly the fall broke my lower back in five disc levels, it was the day before I was heading back to SE Idaho then fly back to Georgia to begin my AT Thru Hike trip, fully funded by my employer with six months off with their blessings, I'm grateful I'm still able to experience each of the triple crown thru hikes with all of you my thru hiking heroes that film their entire trips, I say Thank You All and God Bless Each Of You. :)
What a fantastic movie/documentary this is. I loved watching every second, please go on, show us your adventures, dear Dixie. Greetings from Austria.
I had a bad climbing accident due to an idiot and I haven't been climbing since but your travels have inspired me to go out again even though I am 54 so thankyou thankyou
Thank you Dixie for an amazing and inspiring video. Love all the wildlife pictures (flowers and bugs) and the drone video. It really shows the overall beauty of the PCT.
Miss Dixie, Buttercup, Jessica, your words through out the 3 hikes have touched my heart.
Every struggle.... it makes us stronger, I needed to hear that. I chose to watch hiking videos instead of feeling pitty for myself in this last breakup. I'm 48, I didn't see my self alone, again. Yet, as you are about to accomplish your triple crown, the CDT... I feel ok being alone... I think the word is too big, too precious, too awesome to not see. I've been actively hiking for 6 years. Long backpacking was not in my plans. You are inspiring, I am falling for the idea!!!
Thank you!!
Hey homemade wanderlust, this video was amazing. I am someone going through some struggles in my life, but i love the outdoors, and tonight one of those struggles is feeling unwell/weak like im getting sick. But I also struggle from mental illness and certain things. I made a bowl of chicken noodle soup midway and watched all the way through. I am so thankful you made this movie. i love the idea, and may one day try something similar, I am from Canada, and I know we have some amazing paths here too. Anyways much respect sent your way, props on finishing both trails!
Oh my gosh, I am so glad you turned back when your bag was soaked, it was freezing, and the scenery was obscured by cloud. Great call, great production, awesome spirit, delightful storytelling. Absolutely fabulous, thank you!
O
This lights up my soul. I love and appreciate all your effort for bringing this to us. Thank you!
1:03:34. I listened to Dixie’s rant 20 times in a row. I loved it so much! It is inspiring me to take my family and live the adventure. To leave behind my 9 to 5 and think out of the box. Thank you!!!
Dixie you're a badass! AMAZING accomplishment, and I look forward to following along as you whop the CDT!
Dixie thank you for immersing us in another one of your awesome adventures. On to the CDT...
Absolutely the best video ever uploaded to TH-cam.
I have watched this at least 4-5times. Just love your voice and dialogue. The whole thing just gives me a sense of peace
I've been watching your triple crown backwards because I found CDT video first. You are AMAZING and such a joy to watch! I can't wait to watch your AT video. Thank you for doing these...SO inspiring!!
You are one tough cookie young lady and I admire your spirit and tenacity! I'm from Alabama too Dixie
Watched your PCT thru hike so many times. Your macro shots set it apart from others and capture each moment.
23:00 I've been going through a rough spot in life mentally (as I'm sure we all have been) but this really helped me center myself. Thanks so much
I appreciate not only the beauty of the outdoors but your inner beauty you have share with us. The people of the world can learn a lot from watching this documentary. Inspirational.
The work that went into putting this film together is a feat in itself. As an amature underwater photographer I love bringing pictures from places that others will never get to see into their homes.
The world is truly an amazing place and you are an amazing woman.
The Meltdownman
"Hanging on like a hair in a biscuit!" 😂 ..and somebody turn these darn fans off!
Love Dixie's "southerness"!
Definitely a southern belle
Haha the fans joke was my favorite part
You’re amazing 🤩 thanks for that video
Greetings from Poland I hope one day I’ll visit US or Canada and will go hiking in this beautiful landscapes 😄
@Wiktoria, pozdrawiam serdecznie z mojego kanału
I need friends like you, Dixie! :) These type of adventures are my type of adventures. I haven't met anyone in my area that can handle what I consider fun. LoL. Thank you for sharing your highlights and your struggles along your backpacking journeys. Your videos really show the reality of the outdoors and the reward of challenging yourself. Thank you for inspiring!
Loved this Dixie... at the end, I was still giggling about you wanting them to turn the fans (wind turbines) off so it wasn't so windy... cracked me up. Thank you and keep doing what you're doing. You and a couple of others are why I've started to get out there more (in my mid 50s). Just purchased my first lightweight tent, Lanshan 2 and will start attempting overnighters, instead of only doing day hikes. All the best from the UK👣
I know this is an older post but I absolutely loved this video. I have tried to watch a few trail videos but this is the only one that was well done very entertaining and beautiful scenery. Keep up the good work of sharing your adventures.
Such a free soul and full of life she is full of life and has set herself free she realizes the potential of who she really is beautiful to see thanks for sharing
OMG I love how you save ants and consider the smallest little creatures that you encounter. LOVE this doco. Great editing and story telling. Just sent you a BAT tip for your amazing efforts. Wish I could give more. Keep up the fantastic work!
Just watched this again... one of the best most natural PCT documentaries ever. The Mosquito sections cracked me up. Years later still an independent TH-camr. This year will be another interesting year... you are rightfully proud to have pushed through the snow sections. I am so lucky I live close to the Cali Sierra's.
62 miles in 24 hours?! Damn, that's 100km!
That's insane
cannot wrap my head around it
That's a pace of basically 1 km/15 min, kept up over 24 friggin hours what?! I still don't understand how this is an option even with carrying barely anything + having rested properly beforehand. But doing that with all of the gear and amidst a whole thru-hike. My brain hurts from trying to grasp this.
I did 100km in one day already twice (don't ask, why) Doable but afterwards I was almost unable to walk. That's nothing I'd do on a trip. That's something you can do as an outstanding event but make sure you have the next day off.
With full package! My mind is blown
Dixie I fell a sleep watching TH-cam video's and woke up to your video of your PCT hike for a second time. I could not love it more. I have been called a jock in my younger days because I liked to hike and ski. It was so hard to help them to know the beauty of the mountain's and what a spiritual experience it is. You are as I have said to others like you that you are a breath of fresh air. Thanks for sharing all of this for us old mountain Goats.
Hey Dixie, thanks for this version of your PCT hike.
I'm Brazilian and I'm planning on doing the JMT in a couple of years and your footage of the Sierra is pretty nice. I've already watched a few JMT thruhike videos, but your shot of Mt Whitney summit during sunrise is the only one that teared me up (twice, cause I'd already seen your vlogs of the Sierra section haha).
Thank you so much.
And best of luck on the CDT!
ThiagoSlash I'm on the same boat mate. Either the JMT or the whole PCT in a couple of years. Nice to see a fellow Brazilian around.
Estou na mesma velho! Quero fazer a JMT ou a PCT inteira nos próximos anos. Massa ver um BR por aqui. Abraço
Do it! I'm JMT NOBO this summer! join us!
Sin D I'd love to! however, my budget isn't ready for this summer 😅 but it's nice to get a hold of the community hiking the trail! Best of luck to you. I'll ask for some tips after you finish =P
I am really enjoying your hike and personality. I've been following quite a few hikers in 2022 since I have a friend who recently completed the trail this year. A backpacker much of my life (now 76) but nothing close to this. Well done!
57:35 best moment in the whole video!
I just happened to read this while at 57:10. Guess i have something to watch for. Lol
Wow, that was picturesque!
I know. I love how Aaron totally drew us in with that music and then cut it at the right moment. Priceless.
Jennifer Lawrence is Aaron her editor?
@@aurtisanminer2827 Yes. I think his name on TH-cam is Aaron Mattox. She films every day, when she gets to town, she uploads to Dropbox, Aaron pulls it down, edits it, and uploads it to TH-cam. They're a fantastic team. You should go back and watch every single one of her videos from day 1 forward.
Awesome Alabama Dixie Girl!!!!!!!!! I live in Georgia, on oxygen, in a wheelchair at my age of 69 and enjoyed every minute of your PCT Adventure, I love you young lady, you are so strong, and brave...
I can imagine that you have heard this a million times... I can't wrap my head around your hike in shorts in the cold and snow. I was glad for your safety. Enjoyed watching your hike.
Dude - this is such an incredibly well done, high quality, interesting documentary. Far exceeded my expectations.
And... the music. The music! So perfect for every scene. It added a lot.
Really really great performance and experience that you made! I don't forget your 100 km in 24h!!! All my respects to you!
Pascal G. / France / Alsace
I come from Indonesia, and PCT is my favourite trail, really make me wish and dream about this. and I wish, oneday I can hike by my feet on that wood, and I really enjoyed watch your journey. Thanks for shared your journey. 👏
Amazing job on this one. I start my AT thru hike in about 4 days so I thank you for all of your videos as well
Stevo Con hope you made it safe and sound!
How did it go?
Really well done, better than I expected. Though almost 2 hours long, I was riveted to the adventure, the challenges and the triumphs. Just the right amount of coverage of the trip, not too much "chaff". The cinematography was impressive, particularly with the addition of what I surmise to be drone footage. Just beautiful. Nice music to accompany too, great editing. Thanks for sharing Dixie!
Ive been wondering hills of Colorado and Wyoming for 42 years. So hard to find people who are able to stay long periods of time in the woods.
Youre an awesome person. Thanks for creating this channel.
Love all the videos you share...but this one was the best!!!!!
Watching the sunrise from atop Mt. Whitney made me tear up. Thank you for sharing your adventure!
Hey Dixie, love the name! You are a quintessential southern gal. This is the third time I have watched this vid and I am still in awe. Each time I am inspired, scared and envious. I cannot believe you are an engineer. You have real magic with animals and all of God's creatures. Keep posting my love, can't wait to see what is next! Love from Texas💖🌏😃
You are so Charming and the same time a complete athlete. I cannot believe that some sponsor has not picked you up. You would make them a mint of money. It is a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you!
I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to hike for thousands of miles. HOWEVER you have certainly inspired me to get out there and camp and go on small hikes!
So great. Loved seeing the snoqualmie region. Kendall Catwalk is one of my faves!
You're the best Dixie, now I'm marathoning all your thru-hike and all your videos in this channel. 😃😃😃
I have watched this movie a few times now over the years and I just love it! For so many reasons. Thank you again for sharing this achievement.
Hoooooley mooooley! I live in the area and can't believe you went through the Sierra's in 2017!! Amazing! Badass!
You are now a Hero of mine, I live in Birmingham Al and am grinding my gears trying to figure out how I can get out west to do the PCT before long. It is a different world out there compared to here in the south, my aunt and uncle live in Montana and it is always so depressing to have to come back to Alabama after a week out there in the mountains. Keep up the great work and amazingly beautiful content..... living the dream!!! 👍🤘🏜🏔🏕🏞
Me and my 12 yr old daughter love watching all your content.
What a great video. I've seen a few of these and this is he best one.
Goosebumps. Every time I watch it. 🥹
I became so emotional over this that I was brought to tears more than once. Absolutely inspiring video. I hope some day I can become half the person you are. Love all your videos and love your energy
Absolutely amazing documentary. Dixie is a bad ass!!
46:35 these moments of being ... so very near the edge, left an impact on most of those who pushed through the sierras that year, definitely impacted me. beautifully captured here, those emotions, being so close to death.
16:45 That music is outstanding !!
Re-watching to psych myself up for my first long-distance hike: 153 mile Collegiate loop trail. Thank you SO much for all the inspiration over the years!!!!!!!
57:43 was funnier than any comedy on TV now a days. 🤣 perfect edit with the music and the cough.
I never thought I would watch the entire film when I started. And then I got obsessed, couldn't stop! So inspiring, so humbling, so human, so sincere yet witty. Got tears in my eyes when you made it to Canada! So many other moments made me laugh (turning on the fans haha)! Congrats on this adventure and thanks for the quality of that video. Definitely makes me want to get out more outdoors, especially after months of lockdown.
Excellent documentary! Both entertaining and informative, with some unpretentious wisdom mixed in.
The best wilderness video I have watched on TH-cam! You are charming,engaging and real. I think of all my hikes through Katahdin in my 20’s & 30’s and all the joy they brought. Thanks for sharing this. What an inspiration.👍🏼
When Can I get "Is she anemic yet?" on spotify? Any release date? ;)
You are Amazing and Talented , I can’t wait to watch my Daughters face when I share your passion with her. You are a Gem. Thanks Dixie❤️
I enjoyed watching your journey and your wonderful accomplishment. Thank you.
