We often get confused that we should go in search of our purpose in life. I offer that the journey isn't about finding... it's about realizing what you can let go to reveal what has always been there underneath. You have everything you need deep inside. Just keep learning to let go of all the things that are covering up the magic! 🤘🕓

I would also like to add a quote by Picasso that Ive found very helpful in my creative endeavors and it translates quite well to hiking. "Inspiration exists...but it has to find you working". I'll keep on creating, you keep hiking. It will come. It always does as long as your not on the couch like I am now. I know you're not so I have to get up and finish building my trail head camper shell. Cheers. great seeing you out on trail again. Thank you for the effort.
Rocket, you are a fine person. Keep your chin up like you’re doing. Time will come. Thanks so much for sharing your hike. Sure does look like you guys are doing excellent.
I am 40y old. Have kids, and wife, and still searches for the answers that will make the world make more sense. I dont think I ever will find them but I will try to enjoy the ride. Just as you do. I really appriciate your vids and when you take on a deeper tone and not just talk about the trail, I love them.
Great book, “the Four Agreements”! I’ve listened to it a few times and it helped get me through some significant trials. As for life and finding a purpose, may I say this, the purpose of life is to LIVE! And you’re doing it! I’ve been enjoying watching videos of your odyssey. Keep it up!
The Four Agreements are wonderful and deceptively simple. I’m currently doing a virtual apprenticeship with don Miguel and his sons. It’s eye opening! Keep reading, they have lots of great books. Each time you read the work you will learn something new. It’s the journey not the destination... 🙏 ❤️
The trail has a way of brining out all kinds of emotions. In one of your post AT videos you talked about droughting yourself and your ability to finish the trail, but in the end you made it to katahdin. I am confident you will find your life to be the same. Don't allow anything or anyone to cause you to see yourself as less than the strong, beautiful and adventurous young woman you are.
For some reason I never really wanted to hike the desert but your video makes it look beautiful and challenging. Those water carries though... ugh. Thanks for sharing.
"What you flush back east, you drink in the west" - NOLS instructor 1993. In New Mexico I had to get water from a cow pond with floating cow turds. You filtered through a bandanna into your Nalgene, and popped an iodine tablet in it. Yum. This was the days before Sawyer filters, and even the early PURs were expensive and rare then. Uggh - I probably sound like the old guy hiker in your "types of hikers" videos.
My daughters, 5 and 8, and I enjoy your videos. They have motivated me to start sharing my love for the outdoors with my girls. This year (HOPEFULLY) I will be biking the GAP and the C&O to get from Pittsburgh to DC as a graduation gift for myself. Your journeys have been so motivational to me and inspiring to my little ones. Keep searching.
Dear Julia, I really enjoyed your videos. I love to hear your honesty and narrative while you are hiking. I love your videos on the Appalachian trail. Thank you for sharing. I saw your video tonight and thought I should comment on what you have said in your video. I feel like Life is always confusing. Life has no logic. We give it logic to illogical existence and give it purpose where there isn’t a true one. I am sorry about how you feel about your apartment, boyfriend, child, money, etc… But I think having those things would still not erase that “void.” It would just be some other “void” that you would feel if you had accomplished/obtained aforementioned things. No one knows what they could/would have in their lives. But you have something very few people have. You have the physical strength to hike a long trail and enjoy your accomplishment of hiking it. I think that is truly priceless. You also have memories and have seem some amazing landscapes that few people let alone humans have seem or experienced. I know it is hard to enjoy the “Now.” I also struggle with this enjoyment as well. But I think that is something we need to learn how to do and cherish because once it is gone that part of our life we can never go back to. One day you may marry, have children, have a mortgage, have a van, have a job, etc… That life demands a certain expectation and responsibility where you cannot take 6 month off for a hike. To quote a famous wizard “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” So, I say enjoy your knees, back, feet… and hike then rest for a while. -George
You’re out there feeding your soul girl! Whatever you’re looking for is already inside you! The purpose of life is to love yourself! Side note - I love the book “Four Agreements” 👍
I just did a bikepacking trip through that same area. Mighty cold at night, rugged trails and I remember that reward sign for cattle rustling. Great job keep it up. Air Force Vet 81-85.
Julia, you have lots of great talents and a purpose. I can tell that; I can feel it. You are not lost, you are living your life and the future will happen no matter what. I like your videos and your philosophy of things. I call it "Earthy" and I like that in a person. I am starting my thru hike of the AT in less than 3 weeks and I will be needing support and uplift and I hope you'll be there for me. This past year was rough on all of us. I was down right crazy but better times are coming. John from MI
Oh no! The case of the mystery trail deuce. That's no emergency. That's a sick exhibitionist. Gross. Hope they get the help they need someday, sooner than later. You ladies rock, take care!
Greetings Miss Sheehan Hope you & your team a well & safe I've always appreciated your journeys I like what you bring to your channel, your experiences, comedy, tuff as nails
I was just re-watching a couple of your AT videos. I ended with your ascent video, clip #27. You had some rough days getting to that point, days where you questioned yourself. In the end, you did it. You'll pull through any rough times ahead of you right now and you'll have the same success on this trail. I am sure of that. Focus on yourself and the tasks you face each day. The other stuff will fall into place. Whatever happens, you'll still have achieved more success than if you had stayed home on the couch eating peanut butter cups. Everything happens for a reason. You may not know the reason for a long time. You may never know the reason, but it's there. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey.
Absolutely love your channel, your videos, and therefore your spirit & your stories. Appreciate you for sharing! All the best out there! Keep going 💛💛💛
You go girl! You got this Rocket! Lots of protein in that water tank. Dried cow poop makes a great hot camp fire. When you find that special someone, life gets so much sweeter. I’ve lost mine, so like you I go hiking to escape it all.
In my hiking 🚶♂️experiences, I didn't find miserable hikes of any value towards finding myself. Only the scenery and sirinty of being alone, meeting that one person on the trail 👣that came into my life for a brief moment was always sperituly memorable. Then off to the next adventure 🙂💫
3:51...NO... They have barking spiders in Arizona, too? 🙂 Keeping it TOTALLY real!!👍 Searching...yeah, I know. It's a lonely place sometimes. The journey is its own reward. ✌
Rocket, thanks so much for sharing your trip and your honest self (yes, even @3:51) with us. So, there don't seem to be a lot of trees you could hang a food bag from, and probably no bears, either, but do you have to do anything to protect food from animals overnight (whatever those animals might be, I dunno, coyotes, or mice, maybe)?
Hi Julia , hang in there my friend, it'll get better , you should carry water purification tablets👍good to see your videos, you're an amazing person , and hope the rest of the trip goes smooth. Take care, be safe. Greetings from NH✌️👍
Just maybe THIS is your purpose 💕 I know I’m late to the fan hurling but woman, you are inspiring and fierce. Also my favourite thru hiking vlog. Hope you find peace, k ily 😽💕 byeee
Nature helps me to find that purpose, as well. I have struggled in the real world to find my identity and who I am as a person. The Backpacking Community gives me a sense of belonging and Community. P.S people really do to follow LNT, especially with popping because it's hazardous to human health. And your a nurse, so you understand that.
I think what you need out there is one night where you take a very high dose of psychedelics and have a spiritual experience. Then, you wake up, feel great and spend your next day hiking and reflecting on the experience. Especially if you take a natural psychedelic like mushrooms or peyote.
Ugh, I live in AZ and I swear people don’t follow LNT here at all. I’ve heard people say others prefer it if you shit close to trail and leave tp so others can see where to poop too and I’m like uh...no?
Pretty shitty deal....Im sure they would say..."I just couldnt hold it anymore"....well the idiot shouldnt have waited so long....and theres no excuse for not burying it...even if you have to use a stick...great vid Rocket....love your uniqueness....facial xpressions. 👍 stay safe....have fun !!! Maybe they should lay off the beans....lol !!!
24.7k subscribers think your videos are worth watching. I get where you’re coming from with regards to the world. I felt the same way hiking the PCT but years after that was done a girlfriend got me into X-ray school and the philosophy of no debt. Just putting that out there in case it helps. You make good videos.
I watched this video a few days ago, and I’ve been thinking about it since then. I saw something on Twitter a few months ago that resonated with me, so I saved it so I could refer back to it. This person said, “Unpopular opinion: I don’t think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; I think it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die.” I thought it was kind of liberating to think about that, so I am sharing it with you in hopes that it helps. There was more interesting discussion in the comments, so let me know if you want the name of that person’s account so you can pull on that thread. Be safe.
Kids are not the do all end all of life. I have two independent, educated daughters who caused very few problems growing up that I care for. But if I went back knowing what I know now, I would be childless. And don't underate cats. My last cat was my best friend for 18 years, and I cried like a baby when he died.
i been thru patagonia az . i live 2 hrs from there . i gona do section bike rides . dont be so sad . is so nice there . your right about dirty people doing their junk near the trail . thats nasty . their afraid to go offtrail . snakes and scorpions like to be near trails . they will learn a hard lesson . lol .
Rocket, Great too see you back ontrail. Stay Warm at night. Please stop wearing that Bluetooth, I just lost 2 great souls to brain tumors from Bluetooth. God bless
Enjoying your hike and videos....thank you 👏👏🙏 Sense of purpose 😌 Once you are looking you will certainly find it. Look elsewhere maybe ? 🤔 So if you could have it all....what would it be ?
Julia for starters your kicking ass as usual Air Force. Doing us Vets proud as usual. Second the trail shitters. Obviously that person never served. It’s not so much the location but it wasn’t buried? WTF dudette
A friend once told me that most of the people he knew who listened to music all the time apparently did so to avoid listening to what was going on in their heads. Old curmudgeon . . . but he was right, about me anyway -- so I have since then tried to accept what I found out about this "environment" and put it to good use. Of course, much of what is there is untrue or worthless, and the work of evaluating all this raw material is at times tedious and seemingly pointless. But didn't you say you've got nowhere else to be? After a while, as a new understanding of myself emerges and my confidence strengthens, the outer world too becomes more comprehensible. It's almost funny that now it seems I am built to succeed in this world, even in spite of myself, sometimes. Is there a chance a place with a stock tank full of algae and honeybees will become known to future hikers as "Sweetwater"?

That smile after saying “we’ve got no where else to be.” That’s what it’s all about.
Sometimes "the world doesn't make sense to me" too. It can be overwhelming. I pep myself up, so: You got this, Rocket! One day at a time!
Rocket, you are a fine person.
Keep your chin up like you’re doing. Time will come.
Thanks so much for sharing your hike.
Sure does look like you guys are doing excellent.
May your journey lead you to yourself and inner peace .
“Still searching” is a great mantra. It keeps you going in the right direction. Love it and keep it up

Good to see that you crossed the 100 mile mark. Always enjoy your insights and commentary while on the trail.
Ahhh you are sweet. Know for sure that life constantly changes. Sounds like big changes are coming your way. Congrats. and Thanks
i loved this episode. the way u show your compassion for others and the earth is what i love about these videos.

Wow that is such a beautiful trail! Looks like you guys are having a great time out there :D
That water though 😳 oh man!

You learn to really trust your filter.

Ah and my GSD puppy Arya likes watching the trail adventures. Send her a hi sometime :)
Shrimp fajita sounds good to me
If you can't find firewood, dry cow patties burn super hot and for a long time. You will need tinder to get them going though.
Or, just don't have a fire. I haven't had a campfire while backpacking in decades.
We used to get worms from under cow pies.
I knew someone who got small crickets from under cow patties and sold them to pet stores as reptile food.
💗hugs. It's a constant battle. You have a heart of gold. You already have what many people don't
My pet peeve is using toilet paper and leaving it behind especially in the desert where nothing decomposes. Pack it in pack it out.
Time to start making merch. First shirt, "Don't Shit on the Trail".
That ending hitting home. My entire focus this year is to make it possible for me to hike the AT in 2022. Gotta find my "why".
3:49 "and we're kind of~BRAAAPPFFT~following this water pipeline". Alrighty then....
