- I'm putting this video up because of all the abuse I see on trail these days. What happened? Why is everyone so angry? Or so competitive? What happened to compassion? What happened to kindness?
Pull that shit around me and I'll blast you with a tirade of words.
End of rant lol.

Everyone should hike their own hike and be honest about it.
This is why I hiked solo and since social media it's like high school on the trail.
Exactly
@@AdventureQuencher For most people the PCT should be done in two parts that way you take off the pressure to do twenty mile days and I always felt like the clock was ticking .
Nothing gets me riled up more than seeing someone put down someone else. It's not just hiking it's everywhere. Maybe it's more noticable with social media but it kinda reminds me of the mean girls in highschool and that was way back in the 70s! Pissed me off then and it still pisses me off when I see it now. I was always told that silence = concurrance so yes, absolutly speak up!
Agreed
Right on groceries look for your OWN validation. So glad you stood up for that young lady!
Needing outside validation is a children's problem. I feel bad for them.
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo...good for you, well said and well stated! Can you imagine how that poor girl felt being talked down to by this Primadonna? This poor girl may have had issues and he just crushed her to the ground. There is no reason for this and it is all too common within our society today. Proud of you for standing up to him and letting others have it too with this video!
I had to do it. I couldn't stand by and watch it.
Groceries didn't mention how she responded. She could have found them both comical. I would have. I am glad that they are out on trail, growing through experience. We learn from out mistakes by observing how what we do makes us feel.
PREACH!! Good for you to call out that person's comments. It's not a competition.
Exactly
Thank you! Everyone's hike is a different experience. No one has the right to belittle others hiking efforts. I did 14 miles of the PCT in 2022 before anxiety took me home. Best experience on trail of my life! I loved it.
Totally agree with you! I wish that I could give this video 10 thumbs up.
Agreed.....I have never understood why people wanna act like that....makes me say bad words 😂
Touché!!!!!👏
Everyone is dealing with something in their lives and take the 6 months to hike and escape from nasty people
Agreed
Amen!!! You are so right. We should always lift others up. ❤️
Totally agree. These ultra long hikes are a once in a life time experience for most people. Why spoil it by rushing and competing . Take is at your own speed, stop often to take in the view, look back and see how far you've come, take time to talk to others. It's not a race , it's an adventure !
Exactly!
You are a class act! I'm sure that young lady was grateful to you for having her back.
Yes she was. I bought her a beer. 😊
Kindness matters in all things. People should hike to please themselves and feel good and safe about it.
I agree. Thank you.
If it's an official bypass then it's an official bypass. The officials decide what is pure trail, not some individual participant among hundreds of others.
I agree. HYOH.
Thank you for speaking out.
I love that you are about lifting everyone up. That's what life is,
and hopefully that person will reflect on your words.
Greetings Lynn
Be careful dear.
lots of idiots out there.
Try not to step on toes.
Move on be safe.
I'm trying
Good for you ,Groceries!!! Love your integrity. Right on!
Amen Sister!!! Preach it!!!
Amen!!!
Good for you. But, as a nine-year thru hiker (in my 30s) and a short tripper in the three decades since, I have faith in the self image of other thru-hikers. NO thru hiker is going to buy into anyone else's competitive criticism. There are a few Rambos, and always will be. But we all know that they are rookies on-trail, and THEY are the ones that have something to grow out of. They always do, at their own pace. I am also glad that they are on the trail becoming more tolerant and mature and loving. I choose to try to be a good example and to me that is being kind and tolerant and forgiving, even of Rambo. They will either get off the trail or outgrow Rambo. They will be humbled and they will learn that their true self is happier than the ego that they used to have. Rambos are always rookies. Of course, I could be wrong. I am not on trail, like you. I am truly shocked and dismayed that young people, now, seem to be intentionally slovenly? Is this just a stage? Do young women now find this attractive? The world is full of mysteries. This is just my opinion. If you feel like biting someone's head off, don't let anything that I say intimidate you. Have fun and BE DANGEROUS!
Good perspective. Thanks
Good for you having other hikers back. Sometimes, I shut down when being verbally attacked in a group. I'm not a thru hiker, but I learned at 60 with health issues. Less miles doesn't make me a try less a hiker. I actually enjoy doing 10 -13 miles and stop early to unwind.
Keep doing what you love. Nobody should judge you.
I completely 💯 percent agree. I am so glad that you stood up for that hiker! That was really mean and rude of him to say to her. Yes, hiking is hard and everyone should be supportive and encouraging of one another. It shouldn't matter how many miles they did or if someone decided to skip a section for their own safety.Everyone has their own goals with the hike as well.
Exactly!
I agree with everything you said but I see it go the other way too. If you're an UL hiker and you hike big miles those that hike average to low miles think we are not enjoying the trail or somehow, we don't enjoy the trail as much as someone doing low miles. They never understand we are carrying light packs and are in much better condition. I have actually never heard anyone talk to someone like that. I always say hiking is not a competition. Just hike and enjoy yourself. I am old and I have pretty much seen it all. I think because most of my time I hike with my dog I am never part of a tramaly or ever want to be part of that. I am more of a loner on the trail.
Oh I agree about the miles. I just don't like people competing and judging others, whether it's miles or whether someone is a "purist".
Call out egotists always 👍
We are our brother's keeper. It's up to us to keep each other in line.
WOW! So wll said.
Thank you
Wow that's so not cool! Thanks for standing up for and defending the lady victim to that judgmental/bullying behavior! Who are they to speak, who's to say this person doesnt have a disability of some sorts and 15 miles is a huge stretch, a big deal and a proud moment for them, until that gets dashed by judgmental bullies....also countless of other reasons for hiking a trail differently; no one should disregard someone's efforts because its "not how it should be done"! So angering to hear some are casting judgments like this!
Again, thanks for standing up for what's right and defending others when you see they are bring given a hard time.
Everyone has a story. Empathy goes a long way in this world(full of narcissists I might add)
People like that who try to bring someone else down do it to build themselves up. Thank you for speaking up Groceries. Hike on ☮️
Thanks. Will do
This has been going on forever there's always going to be somebody out there trying to tear you down I hope she is able to brush it off like dirt on her shoulder and that guy needs to just shut up and hike his own hike He can walk to Canada on his hands for all I care Just do your thing bro she's paying for her hike and she can do it anyway she wants to
I agree.
I’ve never done anything where there are zero elitist snobs. They are abnormal as far I’m concerned, and to be confronted. Good for you.
Thanks Joe
❤
purist ?!
oh purist of illusions!!
At the foot of Mount Whitney I will bow and watch you,
Sitting in majesty on your throne at the top.
Yes purist, there, families of day-hikers with kids will pilgrimage to you.
As an offering in your honor, their non-ultralight nalgene bottles at your feet they will serve.
Oh! purist, our lord of illusions, come down to us from your height, and bring us your book of laws.
Now listen purist, athlete of harassment,
thousands have hiked this trail.
Take your arrogance and superpower and dare to compete with real achievements in life Instead of bothering people on hiking trails and interfere their trip.
I love this. Well done!
They forget their predecessors. When I started backpacking, at age eleven, my pack did not even have a hipbelt! They were just beginning to experiment with a webbing belt to offset the pull of the forehead strap. Try doing the JMT without resupply and a forehead strap. How about the Klondike porters. The RCMPs would not let them proceed unless they got 1000 pounds over the first pass. We learn humility through experience.
You go Groceries...! Well said and thank you for saying it...!
👏🏼🙌🏽
I just Saunter so I don't know what that makes me.
Perfect. It's your hike and your life. You do you and don't let ANYONE shame you into thinking otherwise.
As John Muir preferred.
Well said Groceries, thank you. Rest up and keep the daily videos coming.
Will do. Thanks
100% correct. Thank you for sticking up for a fellow hiker.
My pleasure. 👍
I hear ya! I’ve really noticed this year a different breed of hikers being presented… As you have pointed out, those that are out there making it like it’s a competition with other hikers… I happen to see a lot of it this year as well and it really turned me off or at the most put a bad taste in my mouth about how the community seems to be changing. At least I hope those types are not the future norm.
I hope so too. I'm enjoying hiking alone.
kids
I agree with you, totally.
You are amazing!! Thank you for calling out the BS!
Always. Cheers
Love this rant . Well said ❤🇨🇦
WOW! You are right and not one bit offensive. Very well said.
Thanks
Amen sister!
I find these type of people who want the bring the "ideology" of the "real world" of comparison into the hiking world very tiresome and boring. And quite frankly i find them to be very weak minded people. At the end of the day this is just walking and everybody can do that, it's not special. If you want to compete go run a Ultra Race and get actually somewhat of a competition and absolutely crushed.
It's really disappointing when you walk through nature/wilderness alone with your thoughts and at the end of the day these people still need other humans for their egos so that they can put them above them. If this is still the first thing that these people think of after hiking and experiencing all this beauty for so long, there really is no help for them and hiking does not fix anything.
Maybe they all hike with music/podcast 100% of the time and don't ever get to experience their thoughts.
It's not enough that they have some mile number that they walked, this mile number alone would mean nothing to them, this mile number must be higher than that of some people so that it becomes meaningful to them.
You see a lot of these people and when you explain to them that the AT is way tougher hike, because it has way more elevation gain per mile, that is also on a surface that demands more energy they shrug it away. There was one hiker who did this all the time on the PCT and who didn't finish the AT because hiking in humidity also makes it harder.
Everybody got their own body at their own time and their reasons to hike slow or fast. You are only hiking against yourself and the elements, not against other Hikers. All this doesn't matter, what matters is what happens in between the miles.
Very well said. Some great points here.
Thank you. I love the PCT more than the AT. I love trees, but not hiking for days without a view. People are incredulous when I tell them that I think it may take more calories to do the AT.
Repeat after me. "It's just walking, you're not that cool." I put that in a lot of the logs out there if you find it. Can always tell who people are by how they respond to that. Ego is a fire, and it will keep you warm and alive when the world beats you down, but if you don't control it you will burn down the whole damn forest. -Muad'dib
Very well said. Thanks for sharing that.
Amazing people do that--guess they can't think of anything else to say.
I believe that when you are a purist at heart you don’t agree with people who skip sections, but you still need to respect everyone’s decision on skipping areas even if you don’t agree. The competition it’s plain ridiculous and I completely agree with you; everybody needs to respect others and the way everybody do their hikes even if you don’t agree. Just keep your opinion to yourself, nobody has the right to judge other people’s hike. Period. And this goes mostly to the guys, sorry but it’s true, guys are very competitive and a lot of them hate when they see a woman capable of doing the same thing they do, so they try to put her down. Not fair, not nice. I loved that you took a moment to talk about this 🙌🏻
It's not just men although I agree most are like that. No, a few women, some I know personally, are far more uncompassionate about others boundaries than men. The problem is that women are better at hiding their insecurities.
👏🏼👏🏼🩷
Well put
it is sad to see so many critical hikers out there. They ruin the experience for so many people. What ever happened to hike your own hike? Eve online they are saying things like you are never going to make it. What a terrible thing to say to another hiker.
It's a strange new world we live in.
While I couldn't completely agree that what you say is 100% right, sadly you will have zero effect on those critical bastards. Why? Because what they are revealing with their critical nature, is how completely empty they themselves are, and how they can only feel good at he expense of others. Which is why my response to this crap is to smile very broadly, and note that "I don't care." My feeling of well-being is wholly located in my evaluation of myself, and no amount of criticism is going to change that. Hiker Larry [who, at 83yo, considers 15 miles a banner day 😁]
Some good points here. I still do believe in looking out for others. If nothing else, it shows that person that there's someone who cares enough to want to help defend them. Thanks for your input. It helps us all understand each other better.
Letting him get under your skin ranting about it on the internet makes it worse. What a stupid thing to rant about. He won, you lost. Next time say "cool story bro" and eliminate his toxicity by ignoring his presence. Eliminate negative and toxic people from your live. You'll be happier and won't make these angry videos.
I disagree. People like this have been allowed to go unchecked for so long. We've become so politically correct that people are stomping over others with no accountability. I feel that people need to start to be called out. What happened to open dialog? Brush it under the carpet and the issue gets worse.
No sorry, gotta disagree with you on this one.
@@AdventureQuencher Agree to disagree. You are triggered, mad, and your blood pressure rose enough to video tape yourself ranting about it and put it on the internet. You've expelled far too much energy over a comment by an a-hole. If that's not a win for the other person I don't know what is. You allowed him to do that to you. By ignoring him, he'll be the one triggered, mad, and with the higher blood pressure until he finally realizes you don't suffer fools gladly and find another victim. He has every right to say what he did and he technically did or said nothing wrong; it was simply his self aggrandizing opinion. That's why it's best to let go. You'll be happier. Yet here we are discussing an a-hole. That's no fun.
Attacking others regarding their hike is BS. The hike should only matter to the hiker themselves. That’s why I never ask that question because it’s irrelevant to me unless I have a question about a specific section of a trail. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️
