Very interesting. I just discovered you and I've watched three or four. My experience hiking was in the Army wearing 80 lb backpacks a long time ago in the mountains of southeast Asia. Today's shoes are definitely better than heavy boots. I can see there's still a lot of beautiful mountains wilderness way out there and out west is the last place left you can see the night sky clearly. Have fun and stay safe.

Currently battling plantar fasciitis. Again. Had a doc couple years back take a needle to my heel. Not fun but it did the trick. Had an appt last week that got cancelled due to the virus. 3 things seem to help. 1-Rolling my heel on a bottle of frozen water 2-Stay off of it 3-Swearing. Doesn't really help but makes me feel better.

How to avoid blisters: Get more blisters! Seriously, because where I was born, I'm used to walking around barefooted a lot. Folks in the West trust their shoes more than their feet, while I:
A river? Shoes off.
Sand field? Shoes off.
Scree? Shoes off.
Slippery rocks? Shoes off.

I'm not an expert, but my first loaded pack was 30 lbs and I was miserable. I knocked it down to 25 and still miserable. I kept swapping things out and now have a base weight of about ten lbs and can travel twice as far very comfortably. Just a better way to go.

I'm loving your videos. I've done the Katahdin section of the AT in a day and my wife and I will be doing the Fundy footpath next year for our anniversary. It is only a 4 day hike but should still be fun. Enjoy your walk and stay safe.

At 1: 25 - is the bush you and Perk say smells good and want to rub under the armpits actually the dreaded Poodle Dog Bush? In episode 14 you show it in full bloom but I can't tell if it's the same. :)

So note to self, no matter how heavy my pack is, I'm not letting some shake down artist tell me what I should or shouldn't have in my pack. Especially if they act like a tool the way this dude did.

it is all nice the only thing I dont get why would this man rake over items of other hikers? Are you obligated to expose every single item for his inspection on pct? !? who is he!
