Thanks BB and O for doing this as a follow up to your great PCT adventure. I asked the Fire Question, we live down the road from the Dixie Fire near Quincy. Conditions have definitely changed here in NorCal the last few years. You are absolutely right that within the changes there is still much beauty, but it was the air quality that really sucked beyond everything else and many weeks this year hiking was near to impossible in this region. After each episode I would often comment to the others in my household that "this hiker couple has amazing mental fortitude that will serve them well for anything". Many hikers are also long distance sailboat cruisers / kayak campers, so give that a look if you are looking for the water version of the thru hike at some point. Cheers and good luck with whatever is next and again thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Just want to say what a real pleasure it was to spend (virtual) time on the PCT with you. My old days (60 plus years ago) of tramping around the Sierra was fun for me but was very different from hiking today. Both of you have great personalities. Kudos.
Never stepped foot on a trail in my life. Probably never will. But I watched all of your PCT videos and absolutely loved them. Including this one. Your sense of adventure is inspiring. Cassie, your laugh is infectious and your smile is like sunshine. Looking forward to following both of you on your next adventure!
Thanks to both of you for an informative question and answer session. I really enjoyed following your journey. Top rated. Wishing you both the very best in all the years to come, Bill
I second the piece by piece advise! Thinking about the whole trail can be overwhelming. Just getting to camp or the next town are to be celebrated and looked forward too. Also, enjoy and embrace the full gambit of experiences that a hike can present to you. Great video, I really enjoyed your hike last year. Any future long hikes?
Asking someone WHY they hiked the PCT is like asking everyone why they do ANYTHING? Why wear that shirt? Why eat that food? Why take that vacation? Why buy that car, that house, that job . . . No one asks those questions so they should not ask why you hike a trail. I've been hiking the PCT for three year and no one has ever asked me why I do it but people like asking it in Q&A's on TH-cam. Why even make up an answer other than "because we wanted to" :p LOL.

Followed y'all on the PCT. To find out you both AF is awesome. Nurse and SF. I was also USAF SF. Hope to see many more videos.
It was a real pleasure meeting you two on the trail last summer. Thank you for making all the videos and sharing them. Pine
Thought of you a lot Pine! It was nice meeting you. I hope your Goat Rocks/Alpaca trip was great!
@@HeadingSomewhere It was! The clients had to cancel due to injury, so I went with two of my Guides and 3 llamas.
Thanks for you videos and this Q&A. - Camas, WA
Thank you for your service. Thank you for sharing your videos with us, I prayed for your steps. My husband was OSI.
You welcome! Thank you for your support!
How did you deduce I was OSI?

Are they the cliffs of moher in the background?!
Love the Cliffs of Moher picture!
For blister prevention, use compression socks. They’re so tight that they almost stick to your skin, preventing any rubbing action to happen.
Ex Forces, Law Enforcement & Nurse. Wow. Fantastic couple. Thank you for this Q&A and in advance for pt2 & 3 & 4.🤔🙄😊
Loved it. Thank you guys..
Really appreciate this. If you get a chance to address how you dealt with shin splints it would be great,
Thank you thank you..
Portland Oregon….bless you living there 🤨
Flying out tomorrow WOOP!
Actually, which area was it that you did your road walk please?
Is that a picture of the Cliffs of Moher behind you?
You bet! Good eye! Can see brief shot of them in our 2019 video too.
@@HeadingSomewhere Ah I'm from Ireland so it was a bit easier for me to recognise them. Lovely part of the country
I have no idea who that clean shaven dude is😉

Hello! I'm French.
Wait a minute, who is that guy with you? I thought he had a beard. :)
Always the red nose?
