    I'm loving seeing Kiwis and and an honorary Kiwi immersing themselves in enjoying the PCT. It's far more than just a long walk, and the ups and downs aren't just the hills. Those moments of gratitude will keep you smiling. Happy trails.

      He carries a similar amount, just front packs instead of hip pockets/fanny pack or more on the back. It helps distribute the weight.

    Hi Mari, thanks for another great video. I was wonder how you and nick have been getting on there. You mentioned about it being cold there. I can identify with that, as it has been cold every day recently here in Melbourne, being mid winter here. Does your phone still work after it being in the snow? That reminds me of when we first moved here to Melbourne, the legs of our couch had disappeared. We replaced he legs and many months later, we found the missing legs, shoved inside the material of the arms. So we ended up with spare couch legs. LOL. I have got to ask...when you were chased by wilder beasts, did this help you increase your mileage for the day??? Anyway, wishing you the very best. Robert.

      That's a relief. It could be a bit of a problem there without a phone, especially if it was needed for an emergency. Have you encountered any areas of the PCT, where there is no cell phone signal?
