You know what makes your channel so good Mari? It's your awesome personality. Everybody that hikes the PCT shows hiking... duh... but you do it with flare! One note: Give you camera to your partner in crime so we can see YOU hiking once in awhile. Keep on trekking!!!!

[brucewest]

Enjoy your comments and your smile.... even though you are soooo tired and tortured by mosquitoes. Thanks for the Journey. Can't wait to start my PCT Journet this May! Yahoo!!!

[isabellenatalya]

I forget how long the PCT takes. Almost there and SO inspired by you. These vlogs are great!!

There is no mistaking a rattlesnake's rattle when you're out and about. You freeze in your tracks! It's an amazing and rare warning of impending doom in nature and a reminder that while things can hurt/kill you, most would rather not. A big cat on the other hand, won't give you a courtesy warning before attack, lol. When I was a paramedic (mostly in Texas), I never had any patients bitten by adult rattlesnakes. It was always the babies, who lack the ability to rattle and control venom, like you said. Those bites were critical emergencies, often ending in loss of limb or worse. Cheers!

Nice video Mari. I am enjoying your adventure. Nice scenery along the the trail. I have been watching whimsical woman’s adventure in New Zealand. She is really enjoying her adventure. Congrats on making it to the half way mark.

You're videos are entertaining Mari cant believe you walked 29miles in one day phenomenal, Cali is a huge state over halfway and still not out of the state at this stage

[Tboneguy]

“Good morning!” - now I just hear that in Mari voice.

[toadevergreen]

These are really powering me through what can only be seen as an extremely laborious winter diapause before getting out there once more. <3 Love your attitude!

Hi Mari & Nick.
I'm really enjoying your entire journey!!! But episode 23 & 24 are basically my backyard. I have been hiking these areas since I was eight, so 60 years now. What great memories to see you in these areas. And 30 mile days, AWESOME.
Btw, this year 2020, the February 1st snow report shows only 70% of normal at that date. About one half of last year this time. Been following alot of class of 2020 PCTers starting around March 1. Good year it looks like.
Thanks to countine to post. Just love it.

[LMicheleS]

Dang you all were nearly averaging 30 miles days on that stretch!
Thank you for the Sunday video. :)

[snoo]

half way. Most people can't image your long hikes. i sometimes do 6 miles near my house and feel it in my legs. That's without any gear. doing 30 miles or even 15 miles per day and sleeping on the ground is no joke.

[benNZL]

30 miles is appox 50km. Wow!! that's some serious hiking. I guess halfway point could be a bit demoralising and probably when one needs to re-address their reasons 'why?'. Another great update Mari..thanks.

[koko-rlzm]

Another awesome video! You and Nick put in big time miles per day! I can’t even imagine 30 miles a day 😝🥳

[michaelp]

Impressive. Thanks again for sharing the adventure. Just love the videos.

[nadinenarita]

Wow, sounds so painful! You have such perseverance. Scary about that rattlesnake!

[floydrancher]

This is great, looks like so much fun!

[pauletteskalko]

Amazing❤️ wonderful photos, and indomitable spirit!

You need to try on ULA OHM 2.0 in a large torso size with hipbelt adjusted to the shortest torso setting to get all the weight off your shoulders since you have a 19 inch torso measurement, see if solves your problems. Thanks for great video.
