Really like the concept of switching from the PCT to the OCT and back to the PCT, particularly to get change of scenery, more trail towns and less burn areas. Thanks for showing to others what’s possible when you hike your own hike.
Love that you are swerving from your original plan. It is an important life skill. That backpacking gives you the opportunity is one of the best parts of it. Choose your own path. It is all about the journey and you get to make it your own. Adapt, improvise, and overcome!
Got stung by a stingray not a very pleasant adventure. The very first time in the ocean 🌊. Been stung by jelly fish as well. I became a dive master in my younger days. Did some diving in your area while in the military. But glad you got the oceanic breeze. GODS I miss the ocean. But Cory is still bringing in the “bro” version. Ya just gotta love’em. Thanks DUDE. A concern but not your business is the puppies foot pads doing ok. Like sled dogs crossing long distance terrains can usually pick up bad cuts sometimes. He seems happy with you guys and I hope you will be better with the bladder problem. So ya keep re-injuring the grown muscles. Your a nurse…and there’s no advice I can give you princess and I feel sad 😢. Without knowing what caused it in your range of motion. But. Your a trooper and you still push thru. That’s the strongest woman I know on this video and proud to have discovered you on TH-cam. Still my princess and Cory he’s, he’s THE DUDE 😂 lol. SEMPER FI
The sea...it gets in your blood and haunts your dreams. In Central Washington now I'm about as far away as I think I could sanely go; even if I don't see it, I know it's not really far. Before becoming a long hiker which I can do in my semi-impovershed state, I did some sailing, including the varsity team at The Boat School (Three years after boot camp btw). Sailed in both big oceans + a bit in Hawaii and did boat raid ops off Okinawa. I don't miss the cold times, but I miss the challenge, the teamwork and much more. Stay Calm and Semper Gumby
Nice that you're enjoying our coast trail. We've got long Coast, Cascades, Desert and River Gorge trails all around Oregon, about 3,000 miles worth without leaving the state.
Episode one of OCT was awesome! Also, my first video of yours, VERY fun and enjoyable to watch. Cant wait to checkout the rest of your content and Ep. two!!
I saw that you are back on the PCT. Good luck. I just returned 7/11 from backpacking in the Three Sisters Wilderness. There was snow everywhere; icy in the AM and slushy in the PM. This included 17.8 miles on the PCT. The pool at the base of Obsidian Falls was 3/4 frozen. There was snow until about 1 1/2 miles north of Moraine Lakes. Hike on!
I love the change you're making and adapt to the conditions of the trail, a real life adventure!! To be honest, I'm a little morbid too and like Corey would take pic of the unlucky animals, probably to document the state of the beaches and making my own statistic about what animals i see the most! lol
Hiked the OCT in '19. Too much yellow blazing, fresh water was scarce. But the vistas are spectacular, the State parks beautiful, well maintained. And you hit a town every day or two. Beach camping is cool, except for the sand in your everything.
Puffins,..!? Puffins!!! Man, I’ve been in love with these birds since I first saw them in a book in 5th grade or something, here in Sweden. Very exotic here (only seen in books) - Not even my teacher knew of them. Super beautiful animals,.. 🙏
I think the OCT overlaps with the Samuel Boardman Scenic Corridor near the southern border of Oregon. GORGEOUS! Beautiful trails and breathtaking views! Be sure to check it out at some point! That pink flower with white spots (a bunch of bell shaped blooms on one stem) is foxglove that digitalis is made from. BTW: Didn't you do part of the OCT before?
That’s the part of the world I grew up in. When I was a kid we would pitch our giant canvas tent on the beach in cannon beach snd get up at the crack of dawn to dig for razor clams. It’s nice walking in the wet sand for a change. So cushiony after a thousand plus miles on rocks. Gotta love the puffins. They look so funny when they fly. They look like a football with wings. Our family got stuck at that spot at cannon beach. Dad had to carry us kids across and through the water cuz we lost track of time and couldn’t get back to our tent. Also had to carry out two Siamese cats who camped with us. Lol. Poor kitties. They lived the beach but not the water. Lol
I took my cat Sushi to Newport one unusually hot Summer. Plenty cool down there. She was a forest cat, didn't like the beach too much, but it was cooler and heat was really bad for her. Correction. Although I took her, she was not mine so much as I was hers. She even trained me to walk with her on a leash.
Looks like you missed out on the remains of the whale carcass just south of Cannon Beach. Maybe you did see the one south of Cape Lookout? Glad you guys are having fun on the coast.
Manzanita is where we camped for a family reunion. My moms cousin lived at Neakahnee. Those Native American names are hard to know how to pronounce so no one is worried about it. It’s pronounced like Knee a Connie. If that helps.
@@paulrevere2379 LOL, that is so true. I listen to a scanner channel for a local Fire Department here. Everytime one of the fire officials has to say "Siuslaw" he has to repeat it about three times before he gets the pronunciation right, and I believe he has lived on the Oregon Coast his whole life.
Wow how fun to take a detour this trail looks a little easier for you all since you’ve done crazy mountain elevation most of the time yes it does add 400 extra miles but hell you guys are killing it & how nice to see the ocean it looks like a beautiful trail thanks for showing us this!! what level do you think this Hike is for us regular folks?
They are all super-oxygenated down there at sea level. Btw, go just a couple miles inland and you have the cleanest air in the world just beyond the coastal area. You also have the coast range and the thickest vegetation you are likely to ever experience. There are a few trails, but they tend to go in and dead end. If the Oregon portion of the PCT can be called the Green Tunnel, then the Coast Range is where you'll find the Green Dungeon. That or Goonie land.
Haha, boys will always be boys. In the 90’s I gave my sons their own disposable camera to take photos of whatever they wanted for an Arizona trip. Developed them and they were mostly all dead animals and skeletons.
Well, I've been watching PCT hikers for 3-4 years now, so I'm ready for a diversion on the OCT. I don't remember if you said you guys will get back onto and finish the PCT, but I kinda hope so. Meanwhile, I:m curious about the OCT, might like to try it.
You went from crater lake and the Oregon outback to Astoria, (rain forest). You’ll love the coastal trail. By now you’ll see all Bull elk chilling on the beach. Which is the coolest thing ever. I hope you enjoy the coast range. Enjoy Oregon, does this mean you and Cory wont be at PCT days?
Roosevelt Elk as opposed to the Rocky Mountain Elk. The former which they are likely to see have the largest bodies while the ones in the Rockys have smaller bodies but larger antler racks.
Lol. I ran into this group in REI in Bend a little while back, right before they left for Astoria. Very cool people. Briefly chatted with Julia and Moriah. As cool as they are and as much as I am enjoying following them on their hikes, meeting Truman was frickin awesome.
What an interesting update and I really love the OR coast. It's one of the three states I have left to visit. Are you planning on finishing the PCT? I know your approaching the fire season. Good luck on the rest of the OR coast trail and I just saw part two was updated.
As in orthopedic Surgeon who has been following you for a long time on this PCT trip . It appears that you're still limping and if this is the case you may want to get this checked out soon in Oregon
As a hiker who avoids drugs of any kind like I avoid poison oak, I do make an exception and that's when a minor injury causes a limp. The limp does more harm imo than a few OTC anti-inflammatories. Even then I usually don't exceed half the dosage. I know it works different for ppl who take a lot of them, but I won't get into that. In my mid 50s btw, I pack heavyish, and no chronic lower body issues even though about 15 years ago I was told I would need daily glucosamine for the rest of my life. I just don't run anymore, or rarely anyway, no special suppliments. Anyway, point is that a limp imo is never just a small thing to ignore.
What are you talking about? Where do I ignore the smells? I was literally gagging at the dead rotting sea lion. And if you cant handle the reality of the smell, you can go watch someone else’s videos. No one is forcing you to be here. ♥️♥️
NOT traumatized. Scrolling through his phone was hilarious! 🤣

What? Never a dull moment! Follow the passion, ye shan’t be disappointed.
I love the Oregon coast...its truly a beautiful state. Love all the video you've shot so far showing how pretty . Watch out for Bigfoot...not kidding.
even on rewatch, such a good video, you really got way better and better as you went ! amazing!
Love that you are swerving from your original plan. It is an important life skill. That backpacking gives you the opportunity is one of the best parts of it. Choose your own path. It is all about the journey and you get to make it your own. Adapt, improvise, and overcome!

Finally some excitement from Corey! I love it! Can't wait to see the rest of the OCT!

I think Corey’s trail name should be cadaver.
lol
Or: Trail of Dead,.. 💀🥶
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good choice of creepy music for the creepy bunker!

Great vid ,can’t wait for more 👍💙. Corey btw don’t think dead stuff chain sawed in a dead tree will sell 😒just sayin …👍😇🇺🇸
I’m so excited that you’re doing the Oregon Coast Trail because that’s a trail I’d love to thru hike someday!! I hope y’all enjoy it!
I love the change you're making and adapt to the conditions of the trail, a real life adventure!!

The Oregon coast hiking is on another level. Try Gods thumb hike outside Lincoln city and Saddle mountain and the Neakkanie hike.
I learned to click on your videos, click like and then watch. :) thanks for putting these out. I know that it’s a pAin.
6:00 BANANA SLUG!

13:43 That first OCT video was the first video I ever saw of yours. I subscribed and have been following your adventures ever since. 😎👍
Well, you're right about Corey's high interest in dead creatures, that's the most he's spoken on the Epilogue in months
Nice! Lots of oxygen down there at sea level. 😄
Good thing there was one beach-raised person in the crowd to lead the surf fording

It's a very Oregon thing to mispronounce names anyway, so you'll fit right in.

How cold was that water? I put my toes into the water in Manzanita one July and nearly yelped!

That seems to be their plan. Do the OCT while they wait for the snow to melt on the PCT.
@@MaxZomboni Thanks.

Now...every time I see a dead animal hiking...i will think of corey... 🤣🤣🤣

I go to manzanita a lot and I call it Nekkid Hiney beach you are welcome
Cory!!! We need to talk!! Lol!!
Where did you get the hat?
There’s probably a simple answer to this, and I’m just not seeing it, but why is the ocean on your right side?
They are going south on the trail.
Lucky wave
Cool pictures of animals, dead and alive
Plz plz be VERY careful on those roads. Don't ever assume for even a second that those cars will see and avoid you.
Pink flower...? Foxglove...(digitalis)
Maybe someone can reply, r u still considered doing the PCT when done ? If not not, not quite sure why u wouldn't stay on PCT

I dont believe ive ever limped on this trail. Thanks for your concern! Just the daily soreness from walking all day! ❤️🩹❤️🩹
You share a tent with that guy, Julia?
Taking pictures of dead animals raises flags for me,..
🥶
Don't worry, my sadistic urges only seem to flare up around dudes named Chris
@@coreyl1201 And the Manson-vibes continues,.. 😅👍
Tell Corey thanks for the dead animal show and tell.
Something not right with that Corey feller…🤔
oh ...let us document and acknowledge what is pleasant but ignore the smells of the coast. You need to go somewhere else
What are you talking about? Where do I ignore the smells? I was literally gagging at the dead rotting sea lion. And if you cant handle the reality of the smell, you can go watch someone else’s videos. No one is forcing you to be here. ♥️♥️
