Wow. #1 factor is the will. If the will is there, then there is usually a way.

Physical hinderances slow us down, but don't stop us.
My spinal fusions are really minor compared with disabilities of other hikers listed above. One of them not so much an issue anymore btw, but missing limbs and eyesight are basically permanent.
Hike on
@@paulrevere2379 Totally agree! I call your will your “Why” as in why are you doing the hike. A strong why keeps you out there through the bad days. My why was not to finish. It was to honor my best friend Trooper 🐾(RIP).
Love ya Tags!
@@isaaccarrillo7015 Love you too Bowie. Eternally grateful our paths crossed.
You give me hope! Having problems with right knee. Didn't think hiking a long trail would be possible after a knee replacement. Thanks for sharing!
I did it in 2019, didn’t complete it but did 2100 miles of it from Mexico to timberline lodge. BEST experience of m entire life.
Timberline lodge is a great place to finish!! Buffet well deserved 🙌 congrats
I'm a fan of Joe's Donuts further down slope (easy bus ride) in Sandy. Better choices and prices for resupply there too. Not everyone is a rich tourist hiker.
Did you discover a comet?
@@paulrevere2379 What
happened 2 duh Raiders?
I’ve just got my b-2 visa and booked my flights, ready to start at the end of April ‘24 ❤️
Good luck! 🎉
Yes! I hiked the PCT in 2022 and I can only confirm that. If you think about it: do it! It‘s so worth it! ❤
And we NEED to STOP promoting obesity as “your truth”and we should be wearing it like a proud badge. I’m not even going to touch on physical appearances,but you are killing yourself slowly with all these sugar packed foods,with no nutritional value..we should be promoting “HealthFirst”, so these women can see we have a medical condition we can die of,at any moment. God forbid you be alone when it happens,because you have an 80% increased risk of heart attacks,and so many other completely unnecessary complications we subject ourselves too. This is all Big Pharma ladies!! If you don’t stay sick,they can’t keep peddling their bullshit tinctures and creams,or pills, or drinks..🙄 the fitness/weight loss industry grosses approx 70 billion..for the year.😳 why really tell us how to get better? They make more money keeping us sick. And I’m so angry about that..
I'm leaving this march for an attempt to thru hike and my head feels like it is going to explode. Thank you for this advice.
I remember that feeling well! Happy trails
Leaving in the morning 🌄
How did your hike go? @@hikingflyfisherman2521
100% real. Not only no regrets, but life changing for the good.
I’m doing the PCT this year!!! After years of section and state hiking. I’m doing the whole mam’majamma!
Good luck and enjoy!!
Woo! I’m so excited for you!!
Definitely on my bucket list!!
Skip from Mexico to Olancha. And Cascades if in fog bank. Baden Powell is okay.
I really wanna do this hike. I’m In a tough spot in my relationship and all I wanna do is go backpacking. Even just several nights of backpacking can reset you. I can only imagine how life changing the entirety of 2,652 miles has to be
2024 Baby!
Class of 2019. Hoping to have a 5 year reunion next year. Who’s with me?
I’d did PCC this year. What a high 😊.
?

Heck yeah brother
Sadly, the PCT culture has been changing since 2020 and the pandemic. It’s gotten kinda weird. Mari’s PCT is an excellent video diary of all the PCT used to offer.
Why and how has it changed?
@@enricocarraro4547probably got really fucking gay with covid and California being California.
Section hiking is best in my opinion. And sections A and B are the best....in my opinion.. and before May when it gets too hot....
I'm afraid to go alone.heat and lack of water remoteness
I suggest you learn the song "You'll never walk alone" done by Gerry and the Pacemakers and others, but most moving imo when sung by a stadium of Liverpool fans.
Actually a PCT story behind this (2019), but not my main point.
There will always be more excuses. Those who go are more like you than you realize, IF you replace "one day" with Day 1.
Other hikers will help you figure things out, just don't exceed your own pace. It's not a race.
Even a snail can climb Mount Fuji, and not all PCT hikers are marathoners, not even close.
I did it!
This year 29ft of snow
Who's the girl in the thumbnail? 😮
R there any serial killers along the trail
They caught the serial stalker last month finally In Florida...he kidnapped a woman who escaped and he got arrested....forget his name. Google PCT predator
I guess it's my turn as a father to head out and get some milk.
Joe sent this to me, saying he didn’t know who did this TH-cam, but “there’s a lot of Mari in it!” 🥰🥰🥰
That’s funny! It was me!! 😂😘
Where's duh Fast Food joints?
Set it on fire
I. Have yet to meet someone, with kids wife, that cannot live this life. Sad
Hmm? Families do it too. Nutin' sad about that. Even with the family dog.
You've met someone with wife and kids who can't hike the pct?
I just dont get whats so magical about a god dam mountain maybe cause theres alot in California i see so many but theres zero interest in hiking them what for the views no thanks i can drive to the top and see from my car safely not hiking with sasquatchn or a wendigo on my ass
Otter regretted it.
