I love that you added animation of your Bear can tumble . 😁 And when you show your progress on the map and the Guthook comments.👍 Awesome Job as always!

The camera you used does an exceptional job. You and Nick know how to take great photos and moving scenes. The expanse, the panoramic views you filmed are just, well, just majestic.

I absolutely LOVE your videos. You edit them with so much originality and creativity. Very entertaining content and music choices. The spray paint over the trail, well dang, that was genius!!
I'm gushing a bit, but you are definitely my favorite backpack tuber.
I hiked Oregon PCT last summer and will hike 500 miles of the Sierra PCT in 2020. I make videos for my family of my adventures and you have given me inspiration to up my game!! aka Rosie Cotton

Hi Mari.
Great vids always. Thank you for sharing.

[lindahopson]

Living vicariously through your amazing adventure is one of the highlights of my Youtube watching. What awesome memories you will have from this trek. Happy late birthday!

[JimBobele]

So many beautiful views. What a great journey through the Sierras with this gorgeous weather. I love the scene at 10:50 with the small waterfall on the right side.

Thx for sharing

These videos are just awesome Mari, what an epic adventure! Thanks for sharing :)

[twilightdancer]

Wow. I'm surprised, so many people at Mathers pass. Just wow...

[robinmills]

That was a birthday to remember for always. 2 Passes that day? So much less snow than when Restless Kiwi went through the Sierra only a few weeks earlier and even the rivers seem to have dropped for you. Then the weather to this point. Simply beautiful. Your shots of Mather Pass remind me of historic photos of the gold miners climbing the Chilkoot Trail. Thank you.

Loved this episode. I did the JMT in 2016 and I too had issues on Mather! It was the one part of the trail I had an emotional cry fest. Halfway up the mountain (going sobo). There is something about Mather. I have heard from many people of the ways they struggled on that peak In many different ways, despite it not being the “highest” or “hardest” pass. It has roughed many peoples up. It’s special. Loved it.

Beautiful area! Love seeing different terrain than just the jungle I have all the time lately, lol. Cheers!

Now I know where I would like to have my birthday🤠 Epic scenery!
