This one was fun. When I got back on trail a heatwave was starting to roll through the area, leading all the way up to Kennedy Meadows basically. I got one final send off (IE "Fuck you") from the desert before making my way to the Sierra through this video and the next, and while …

PCT Series: Wrightwood to Agua Dulce
If you read my journal you'd know this section was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I loved it so much and I also reached probably my largest level of frustration ever here as well (over nothing in particular). The Angeles National Forest was great. The hike back down to the desert along …
PCT Series: Idyllwild to Big Bear
The forests of the San Jacinto wilderness are awesome! In those early days it was like getting a glimpse of what the Sierra might be like. I got some really great campsites in this area despite some spooky Cougar stuff. Not to mention Idyllwild was so incredible and easily one of my favorite trail towns. …
PCT Series: Julian to Idyllwild
So it's kinda the day before I upload my next video and I realized I forgot to post last week's video here. Whoops. I've been waiting a long time to throw this one together. Though I was perpetually around the corner from calamity after calamity, I really loved this section. Not only was it so …
Post-Trail Blues
So I basically broke while editing my next video so I figured it'd be a good time to make a post about this finally. A lot of people say the trail doesn't change you really, and I agree with that to a degree. I'm not a different person really despite a few new small additions …
PCT Video Series: Campo to Julian
I'm all moved in! Kind of! I'm currently working on my computer on the floor like some kind of savage (and I wouldn't have it any other way) but I've been able to start working on getting all of my footage thrown together. Rather than doing a giant mega-movie I decided to release it in …
PCT 2016 Preview
I've been sitting on hundreds clips of footage for a couple months now just dying to start editing them together but my laptop's capability is limited and can only run very barebones software, so I have to wait until I can pull my PC out of storage. I can't do that until I have somewhere …
Mammoth Lakes to Yosemite
Time to leave town. I stayed in Mammoth a day longer than I planned and was eager to get back to the trail. There's an awesome trolley system that navigates the entire town, so getting back to the ski lodge where I can take a shuttle back to Reds Meadow was easy. I was dropped …
Bishop to Mammoth Lakes
Hey all, side note: My podcast left off in Bishop, so this is new territory! Ergo, it's a bit longer to cover all the fun stuff that happened. Enjoy! Last day in Bishop passed, I left my hotel room and walked the two miles back to the gas station in West Bishop. I grabbed …
Independence to Bishop
Exo, MuffinMan, Smooth, and I sat around in the hostel for a lot longer than necessary agonizing over the hike back up Kearsarge Pass. We chilled for a bit, talked with some hikers for a few good hours, ate food, then hesitantly got our packs on and headed out in the evening. We got a …
