  • This video shows Mac, from www.halfwayany... hiking the entirety of the Pacific Crest Trail from the US/Mexico border to the US/Canada border across 2,660 mi / 4,200 km through California, Oregon, and Washington.
    I created this version in response to my first video, "The Pacific Crest Trail (Three Second Thru-Hike)", I have recut the footage into a more compact format with updated music.
    I hope this video continues to spread the beauty of the PCT and share its glory with hikers and dreamers alike.

    You gotta make time in life guys. Waiting around for the "right" time to do anything will surely disappoint you. If you want to do something, make time. Do it and don't look back. If it doesn't work out for you, then you learn something. Take the time off from work and do it, even if it's just one big adventure that uses all your time. Quality experiences > Quantity.

    That... was beautiful.
    As someone who had plans but whose plans were knocked back again and again as mobility limiting medical conditions began to mount (I'm on number 5 at 35), I know I will never see this in person.
    But I'm thankful that I live in a time and place where people like you are kind enough to compile such amazing video and let me glimpse what could have been if I had been born healthy.
    Aaaaaaand now I'm crying, hahaha.
    Again, thank you. That was... something I never thought I'd see.

    Class of '86 here - I spent 7 months doing the trail and had a little snow in WA. I loved it so much, I went on to do the AT, CDT (in 4 section hikes), the AZ trail and FL trail. I'm a westerner and probably a little biased, but the PCT is the best. The CDT is still a work in progress and has sections of pavement, 4x road and you'll see vehicles on it so the experience is diminished. Just do it if you can, I guarantee you will cherish the experience the rest of your life. See it before our wild areas disappear. Suggestions: go light and for heaven's sake don't be in a hurry. Your chances of a successful thru-hike and the pride that goes with it will be much better.

  • @twirlawhirld
    @twirlawhirld 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I come back to this video every once in a while to have a good cry. I recognize all of those places. The trail is hard but easy at the same time. All you gotta do is wake up early, go to bed late, eat top ramen every day and keep walking. But it changes you more than you realize it will before you go. You learn how to be nice to strangers and expect them to be nice to you in return. You learn to respect people asking for rides on the side of the road and give them when you can (I'm a girl so sometimes I don't unless I have a male passenger). You learn how to just keep truckin when everything about you hurts, and you can't help but cry, because you'll get used to it and you'll get better at it. You learn you can just sing at the top of your lungs in the middle of nowhere and no one cares. You might even learn to be alone if you go SOBO (southbound). You might even learn, as I did, that if you lose enough weight and wear a collared shirt and baseball cap, people will just confuse you for a small boy scout. SCORE! I'd recommend the experience to almost everyone.
