    Hi from the trail! Thanks for watching and following along. Just want to let you know that if I don’t reply to your comment, it’s because I’m hiking and I have no service. So don’t worry, I’m not ignoring you 😊❤️

      Hi Mari, here is a song for you both, which I hope you enjoy. Every time I play this, I think of you both walking the PCT. Some of the words seem to fit well with your current adventure. Take care. Robert. th-cam.com/video/h6OvqLDT_Ms/w-d-xo.html

    That last frame at the end where, you fill in on the map how much you've hiked is gold! Can't wait to watch the line grow!

  • @abn76280
    @abn76280 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love it... Thanks for sharing. I love the "gourmet" meal! Reminds me of my days in the infantry! Carrying a backpack and equipment for a long distance we referred to it as humping. Humping your equipment in the wilderness you build up an appetite! Having lived in San Francisco for 20 years there was a lot of fine restaurants. I've enjoyed many of these establishments but! The best meal I've ever had was in the service out in the field after "humping" my gear. Something about the appetite build-up, the relaxing feeling of dropping your ruck (backpack) and getting off your feet just makes the simplest of meals gourmet! Good luck to you and Nick! Keep the videos coming!

    Ahaha! So jealous right now!! Next year! Was great to see Nick using an Aarn backpack - I absolutely love mine, but have been too-ing and fro-ing about taking it next year...just heavier and more moving parts which could break...but I call it my magic pack for a reason! I can just glide along with it!! So I will be very interested to see how he goes with his. All the best, and make the most of every day!

    Hi Mari and Nick, great video. You are doing very well. However, I must point out, there may have been a bit of cheating earlier by using that bus to the start of the PCT and also using the plane prior to that from New Zealand. Hmm!!! Should be walking all the way, I say!!! LOL. Wow!! That is an amazing trail.There is certainly some beautiful scenery there. Incidentally, once you and Nick finish the PCT, maybe you could come over here to Australia and walk across the Nullarbor Plain...just kidding!!! Anyway, wishing you both the very best. Take care and keep safe. Robert.
