I love how you notice the little things on a hike. You include video of insects, flowers, even ants and spiders eating things…who does that? Lol. Really, your perspective about enjoying every moment because you may never return there is well taken. Great video!
Aaron, I love what you did with the logo, but especially the time you took to match and compare the closure locations with their footage in recovery. It’s so gratifying to see these places come back from the fires. And of course that end section overlaid by Clare de Lune. You work hard on these and it doesn’t go unnoticed.
Soooooo beautiful--and I am soooo glad you weren't hurt any more than you were, when you got poked by your poles!!! Thank the good Lord! I had to smile when you commented on how that mountain looked like the Paramount Pictures mountain. I just happen to be blessed to live at the base of the actual mountain that was used to depict the Paramount Pictures icon--Mount Ben Lomond, in Ogden, Utah! If you Google it, you will see for yourself. It is a beautiful mountain! Another cool thing about it is, when it is snow packed, it has a Jack-o'-Lantern-like smile on the south face of it! How cool is that, to have a mountain that "smiles" down on you all Winter long! We are so blessed! Thank you, Jessica, for another GREAT video! Take care, be careful, and Happy Trails! ❤
The unusual camera angles, the macro bits, that bewitching voice, the overall pace, the music (d### Johann Strauss...)... Gee, you guys are so polished now, it's like you know what you're doing!... 😋 Mount Jefferson has got to be one of the most photogenic mountains anywhere. (Mount Hood's not bad either) Running with -scissors- trekking poles: "Yeah... don't do that." lol, thanks for the advice, Dixie, very happy that you didn't "shish kebab" yourself there.
Cannot overstate how much your channel has encouraged / inspired / equipped me. I have for many years wanted to return to solo pack trips (really, just hiking in general, for I was so hobbled physically). Finally healthy again and amassing gear - expecting return to the back country early fall. Godspeed
Such a great way of putting it when you said you may never see those sights again and there is so much to see in the world. You never really think about it when you go somewhere that is not close to where you actually live, that you will probably never see those places again. Live in the moment people. Before you know it it is over, and you're gonna miss this.
I don't know what was more frightening, you almost impelling yourself with your trekking poles or your mom hocking up a mosquito! Hope both you ladies are doing well. Thanks for sharing the adventures. All the best, Jimmy
I still go hiking with my mom from time to time.She's 78 and the river is about a quarter mile behind her house with a nice path all the way.Glad you are ok.Love the channel.
Glad you survived the trekking pole mishap. Could have been a lot worse. Thanks for sharing so other hikers can be aware. The Dog Cam™ shots are great!
Other than feeling a wee bit nauseated from the motion-sick, I LOVED Fancy-cam! So cool to see it from her angle! Her running up to you guys at top speed is the best!
Wow. Thank you Dixie. 🙏💕. What stunning videography and exceptional editing with perfect music.👍👍👍. Your poor Mom. 😆 spitting up a mosquito 🦟. 😆 Can’t say I’ve seen that before. 🤣. But your introspection at the end was the best. Yes, we may ‘pass this way but once’, so to be able to really take it all in and embrace every moment possible is a life well lived. This is why being able to see where you have been is so special to us all. We may not get to all the places you have visually gifted us with, but the joy and smiles at seeing the vistas, and the antics of Fancy Mae, your mom and you, ☺️ are treasures. Thank you, again. ❤️
Glad you recovered this footage. Some of that country was featured in the movie 'Rooster Cogburn." Doesn't look as though it has changed much, except for the fire scars. Still is beautiful. Stay safe out there.
This is the first video that I have seen where someone really took the time to show off how beautiful my home state of Oregon is. Thank you! I hope to do the entire Oregon section this summer with my 17 year old son.
All of your videos are wonderful, and keep this old (67) hiker going, especially in the winter in western PA; but the insertion of Debussy at about 17:20 was genius. Be safe; live long and happily.
You and your Mom are the best comedy show in town, and a poor dog was so happy to see a car and jump in..... Fantastic shots as usual, thanks for posting.....
I grew up in OR/WA and the mosquitos there are so bad in the summer. Especially in Oregon. Glad you recovered this lovely footage of great memories with your mom. And Fancy Mae
That is such a great reminder for everyone, not to just rush through places/people/events. Love your videos Dixie! They take me to places I'll never visit
I love when you use Clair de Lune in your videos... definitely one of my favorite songs, and you always make it fit perfectly. Awesome videos, been following you a long time 👍🏼
I grew up in the North Santiam country Dixie, and your video brought back great memories of hiking the PCT & exploring the 8 Lakes basin area. The fires over the last 20 years have changed the area almost beyond recognition. I'm just glad that my boys & I were able to enjoy it when everything was still green & beautiful. Keep up the great videos. Cheers
Be still our hearts! Your like family to many of us Dixie, may the light guide your every step. Other than that close call, this video was Awesome! The filming was so cool; was like a movie! Thankyou for sharing have a Great Good day!
Dixie, I can tell how much time you spent working with new cameras and the Fancy POV. You gave us some incredible time lapses in this one. I am so overjoyed to see you connect your footsteps and see the parts you (and we) missed. And so glad to see you and your sweet mama treasure this time together.
So glad you didn’t have a serious wound. When I fell and kissed the rock face on the Knife’s Edge in PA it was scary enough. Your mom is a hoot. Glad she got rid of that bug. Another beautiful trail. Thanks for sharing! Monk
You're right about never being guaranteed your health. After a TKR in 2018, I've been moving down the trail without a care in the world. All of a sudden this November, I took a bad step when one of my dogs pulled coming off a curb, and my right hip has gone south. MRI not good. Likely hip replacement on tap, just for everyday life, never mind hiking. It has occurred my that I may have taken my last step on trail without knowing it. Still planning a section hike for August, but odds of being able to do it are low.
I really want to hike with you for the steady stream of dad jokes 🤣. Seriously though, thank you for the videos. Like getting a new piece of gear, your videos help keep my excitement up for my upcoming adventure.
Or as my Kids say, I am THE “Source of/for all Dad jokes!” “ Why did Dad cross the road? Don’t know, I forgot about half way across-HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY GLASSES?”
Night hiking is so risky or scary, and getting impaled by any number of things is a real possibility. You go where angels fear to tread, Dixie. The good Lord be with you always on all your journeys.
Hello 👋 Dixie, greetings from Northern California. I'm glad that you found the lost footage. YOU are correct, don't text and hike. That accident could have been a 'real' disaster. I'm so thankful that you were not seriously injured. Thank you for sharing this video. Many years ago our family lived in Portland. We spent many days in, and around, the Mt. Hood area. The best to you for your good health and safety. 🤗
As others have mentioned. It is joyful when you talk to us. Your gift to us all: is the journey you take viewers on. The cinematography and editing, has improved with each video. I really enjoy the dog go-pro.
Thank you for editing and posting your lost footage. Mosquitos! I'm not looking forward to those... I was amazed at Fancy, not the same cowering mess you found. Thank you for taking us along. Safe travels.
I remember hiking this section and thinking "when am I going to see the Three Sisters?!" Around this bend? Nope. Around this bend? Nope. Finally after climbing Kussah Mountain, which was an absolute bear of a climb, there they were. I was DONE IN that day. So glad to get to camp at Sisters Mirror Lake.
I usually walk here in southern Australia in Winter which is generally 10 to 20 degrees celcius. Best thing is that are no mozzies and no flies. But when you have to walk in late Spring in the places in the "outback" there are lots of flies. Your back can be covered in them. Getting to my point - flies over mozzies any day. Love your work Dixie.
'Normally' I come to a complete stop any time I need to look at my phone, and then continue after I put it away. One time I didn't do that, missed something obvious in front of me, and Bam, I got a pretty bad Concussion. That is a mistake I will never do again. Distracted hiking can be just as dangerous as distracted driving.
I had thought the impalement would be from a broken tree limb that you had run into when you were not paying attention. We have identified low hanging (mostly at knee height or below) limbs and exposed roots as “hiker stabbers” and “hiker trippers”. Then there are the rocks you kick and make you stumble. When our partner hears it and asked what happened, the response is “Doing a quality check on a rock. That one is good; it’s not going anywhere.” This was kinda scary. It would not have occurred to me this might happen. Glad you were not more seriously injured. Bet you had a bruise later, too!
Great little documentary! Time wirh Mom PCT timelapse All the special little things. Im 59.. Want to retire and do the AT. Because of all your encouragement Thanks so much Dixie!
I saw your AT video years ago and just watched it again this morning. For some reason I hadn't subbed but finally did just now. I own a lot of gear because of you, which is a fun hobby unto itself. Cheers from Louisiana!
Wow that is a ton of mosquitos I cannot believe how eaten up you were getting. They just love you as they love me. Nice job with that tent it looks beautiful and easy to setup!
This was great, your filming is outstanding, your commentary is superb, your laugh is pure joy, so glad you get to hike with mum and the wonderful pup, obviously as you can tell I really enjoy your videos, thank you and all the best to you and your family!
Texting and hiking don't mix either, glad that you came out okay. Your mom is awesome to go hiking with you. I really think she needed the beer to wash down a leg of the mosquito. I really liked the "Fancy Cam".
I absolutely love all the before and after views. It always amazes me how quickly life bounces back. My favorite part of all your videos is your critter cam shots. I don't know anyone else that captures them so well or often. Thanks for everyone that helped you rescue these videos. Cant wait to see your next journey! Still counting down the years, yes years, to hike the AT (CO 29 or 30 lol). Waiting for my youngest to graduate HS. Didn't really plan on doing the others until I watched your journeys and now I am like why not, you only live once.
Jefferson Park, the area of alpine lakes under Mount Jefferson, is my favorite backpacking destination here. The views are just spectacular. It's been closed off again due to wildfires. I can't wait to make my 3rd video out to the area when a route opens up again. I'm glad you got to make the connection and give it a visit.
I'd love to see your camera setup for Fancy! These videos of your lost footage are just awesome. I'm so glad you were able to get them recovered! Beautiful areas- make me look forward to the spring. I need to get up to Oregon this year...
When I hiked the PCT I encountered about 999,999,999,999,999,... mosquitoes in Yosemite. It was the worst ever. I covered myself in mud to try and deter them. Wading through rivers was so terrible because there was no way to escape them. It still gives me anxiety. PS: glad your not impaled
Dixie, your video is amazing especially this last of the pct. Your music was great with the views as well. Great job! You’ve inspired and given me such vicarious joy of nature!
awesome video Dixie. the pct is absolutely beautiful . iam glad that you were able to get the lost videos from your trip. Erin does a Incredible job of editing your videos. it makes me want to hike the pct and see all of its beauty
I have found that when I am hiking alone, I tend to be much more careful. Almost all of my injuries hiking have been when I was with other people. I believe, my guard goes down just a little when I am with someone else. I almost fell into a stream on a steep slope and did lose a water bottle while hiking alone. This was in the Montana.
This video was hilarious. When it first started, I said she is beginning to look a lot like her mom. Then I thought, I’d better not say that because no young woman wants to be compared to her mom. Then I saw it was your mom. She is a trooper, at least when she’s not choking on a mosquito. You guys had me laughing, for sure. Great video. How on earth do you find all of those cool insect/but encounters? Amazing.
I love how you notice the little things on a hike. You include video of insects, flowers, even ants and spiders eating things…who does that? Lol. Really, your perspective about enjoying every moment because you may never return there is well taken. Great video!
Best nature footage on this channel with amazing colors, time lapse, slow mo, & close ins.
Fancy cam is the best!
Love your new cameraman..uh..dog. She got some good angles in there.
That is going to be such a precious memory having your mom with you! Glad she got that skeeter out,lol!

The feeling after a near disaster is hard to describe. Shock, relief, joy and amazement doesn't do justice to the experience.
The unusual camera angles, the macro bits, that bewitching voice, the overall pace, the music (d### Johann Strauss...)... Gee, you guys are so polished now, it's like you know what you're doing!... 😋

Getting my Dixie fix! Thank you Dixie!!! You bring me so much joy!
Your mom vaulting the tree at the beginning was the BEST. I'll be 50 this summer, please tell her what an inspiration she is to me!
Oh and mom coughing up the bug! PRICELESS! You know you've gone hiker trash when... she proudly showed it off!!
I still go hiking with my mom from time to time.She's 78 and the river is about a quarter mile behind her house with a nice path all the way.Glad you are ok.Love the channel.
I love "The Titular Impaling". 😂 I didn't know titular was a word, but you better believe I'm going to try my darndest to work it into a conversation.

Your Dad joked are way too familiar!
Or as my Kids say, I am THE “Source of/for all Dad jokes!” “ Why did Dad cross the road? Don’t know, I forgot about half way across-HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY GLASSES?”
What month/ time of year was this again? Also what dis you use to do the filing from Fancy Mae’s perspective. Thanks again for the videos.
@@Mitchel614 Late July 2019. Camera was a Insta360 One.
Night hiking is so risky or scary, and getting impaled by any number of things is a real possibility. You go where angels fear to tread, Dixie. The good Lord be with you always on all your journeys.
It was very poignant, hearing the water seep into your phone at the end. So glad you got all of the footage back. Another beautiful video!
Your mom is so cool, love the recovered footage :)
I loved the Fancy-Cam. Great photography has always been one of your best assets
This may be my favorite episode. Your videos have really evolved into something I look forward to.

All the special little things.
Im 59.. Want to retire and do the AT.
Because of all your encouragement
Thanks so much Dixie!
Your Momma is adorable! I'm so glad yall have this time together... and Miss Fancy May of course!
Mom sure was a good sport to tag along. Glad you weren't seriously hurt.
Impaling, gagging, bloodsucking parasites. Such an uplifting video. Let's rush right out and do it ourselves.
I really liked the “new” camera angle. I don’t know how you did it as I am not a videographer or such, very cool. As always top notch video.
That go-pro on the back of the dog was a nice touch to the filming! 👍🏾
I love that we got to see the last footage that killed the phone! 😂
I saw your AT video years ago and just watched it again this morning. For some reason I hadn't subbed but finally did just now. I own a lot of gear because of you, which is a fun hobby unto itself. Cheers from Louisiana!
OHHHHHHH SNAP! I have honestly thought that could happen but thought it almost impossible. Glad you are ok!
Some of your best work. Beautiful video, thanks!
Wow that is a ton of mosquitos I cannot believe how eaten up you were getting. They just love you as they love me. Nice job with that tent it looks beautiful and easy to setup!
Love your channel so much. Watching you and your mom hiking makes me wish so much that my mom and I could do that together. ❤️ Another great video.
This was great, your filming is outstanding, your commentary is superb, your laugh is pure joy, so glad you get to hike with mum and the wonderful pup, obviously as you can tell I really enjoy your videos, thank you and all the best to you and your family!
Please stay safe, take care Dixie, Mom & pup 🐾🙏
I went on a day hike with my 86yr old mother in law after the first lockdown. She honestly put me to shame.
Your never to old.
Thanks for surviving the rogue sharps and sharing your experiences! You're endlessly entertaining, educational and an inspiration to so many of us!
Texting and hiking don't mix either, glad that you came out okay. Your mom is awesome to go hiking with you. I really think she needed the beer to wash down a leg of the mosquito. I really liked the "Fancy Cam".
I enjoy your hiking video’s so much. I always learn something. I am so thankful you are safe.
Dixie, that’s so freakin cool!! So awesome to have mom out there with you! (Glad you didn’t kill yourself!)
I absolutely love all the before and after views. It always amazes me how quickly life bounces back. My favorite part of all your videos is your critter cam shots. I don't know anyone else that captures them so well or often. Thanks for everyone that helped you rescue these videos. Cant wait to see your next journey!

Dixie, should have put a description under the video title. Your mom and who was the gentleman? Memory building forever!!!!
the dog's having a great time tho
Thank GOD, you are alright!
Life lesson not just about hiking, but that cell phones are too imbedded in every thing we do.
Without the cell phone this video wouldn’t exist ♥️
@@HomemadeWanderlust
LOL … true … but videoing and doing email are kinda different …. Glad you are okay.
Jefferson Park, the area of alpine lakes under Mount Jefferson, is my favorite backpacking destination here. The views are just spectacular. It's been closed off again due to wildfires. I can't wait to make my 3rd video out to the area when a route opens up again. I'm glad you got to make the connection and give it a visit.
I always enjoy your adventure on trail. Thank goodness you were not seriously injured Dixie you were very lucky.
Your Ma coughing up that skeeter was a RIOT i laughed so hard
I'd love to see your camera setup for Fancy! These videos of your lost footage are just awesome. I'm so glad you were able to get them recovered! Beautiful areas- make me look forward to the spring. I need to get up to Oregon this year...
Your poor, but very tough, mama! The mosquito grossed me out. When she said it felt like it was crawling I actually gagged! lol
What a lovely scenery, thanks for sharing this.
This was awesome! So glad we got to see this footage, thank you.
When I hiked the PCT I encountered about 999,999,999,999,999,... mosquitoes in Yosemite. It was the worst ever. I covered myself in mud to try and deter them. Wading through rivers was so terrible because there was no way to escape them. It still gives me anxiety. PS: glad your not impaled
Wish I was a wordsmith. So I’m trying my best with one word. Awesome!
Such a great video. Beautiful, funny...Fancy and your Mom. That was great!
Love the Fancy Mae jumping over trees segment! I hope to see those views someday.
Your mom is awesome! I'll be 58 this year and love to hike too. Keep on hikin!
Dixie, your video is amazing especially this last of the pct. Your music was great with the views as well. Great job! You’ve inspired and given me such vicarious joy of nature!
Really glad you are ok. hope you have a wonderful, happy, and safe hike.
Wholesome is a word that can’t even describe this because somehow it’s more. When her mom hacked up that mosquito 30 mins later (priceless).
She’s a trooper!
awesome video Dixie. the pct is absolutely beautiful . iam glad that you were able to get the lost videos from your trip. Erin does a Incredible job of editing your videos. it makes me want to hike the pct and see all of its beauty

I have found that when I am hiking alone, I tend to be much more careful. Almost all of my injuries hiking have been when I was with other people.
