Thanks for posting this David! I love that all you hear in the video is the sound of your footfalls, the warble of song birds and the crinkle of a candy wrapper. Most people cover up all of those beautiful sounds with music--thanks for doing something different! By the way, we included your video in a collection of some of the best videos on the Pacific Northwest Trail at www.pnt.org/best-films-pacific-northwest-trail/
Epic! Thanks for posting this. I truly enjoyed the sounds of the hike only and not some music tossed in. Very thoughtful. I'm putting this on my list. Damn....you had a grizzly 60 yards away. I'd drop a load in my shorts.
I don't mind people sharing discussion, tidbits of trail talk, or music... but I really appreciate the contrast your silence gives. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Well done. I've hiked in the Lion's Head area and the Selkirk Crest around Priest Lake. That's a hell of a bushwhack! I'm just shaking my head about all the overgrown sections of the trail. Makes the PCT look like a eight lane freeway.
I desperately want to see more people do the PNT! It may be in part that it cuts through areas where we do so much of our family hiking. A path much less traveled- but so beautiful! I can't wait to see what it becomes over the next decade. SO if you do- please document it so I can live through videos until we do our own thru hike when my kids become teens.
Loved your 'footage' without music or commentary. You captured the majesty of the Northwest. Particularly liked the old mining cabin you poked around in. I'll bet you slept outside. Thanks!
Congratulations for an epic adventure and a great video. The natural sounds are so much better than some pounding rock or mincing classical, thanks for doing that. Sitting here in Portland, I've wondered what that trail is like and now I know it's a spectacular and wild journey.
Absolutely love this video and planning to take on the trail in 2020 around the same time. Just had a few questions about your equipment. What pack, sleeping system, and food storage did you end up using for the trail? Thanks!
Thomas McElfresh Thanks for viewing the video! I had the My Trail pack 70L, Enlightenment Equipment 10 degree quilt, Ursack with odor proof bag and for the sections that need a bear canister i had the smaller Bear Vault.
Bill Caulway 2020! NICE! Most of the resupplies towns the trail goes right through, except Republic and Forks which are important one to resupply. I skipped Bonners Ferry in Idaho and Yaak Montana. You can find more info/maps at www.pnt.org/pnta/know-before-you-go/plan-your-trip/trail-towns-resupply/
I left from Two Medicine June 27th. The biggest and serious bushwack is through the Selkirk Mountains. Other parts of the trail were just overgrown but you can still feel the trail below. It is hard to judge how many bushwacks but there there are only a few and not often, probably 3 in total.
was that a Llama on the beach at 10:36? also, thank you for this video, currently overseas and it made me feel like I was back home, I admire your dedication on hiking those 1000+ miles.
Hahha yeah it was a Llama...it was right on the Hoh River so I am not sure if it an escapee or not. I am happy to hear that my video made you feel those emotions!
I got a ton of questions. All in one walk or in sections? Did you have any resupply points? If so how far apart??? I used to live in Vancouver near Columbia River... never heard of that trail. Looks beautiful. Summer trip?? Thanks for sharing it was great to see the north north west area again but with pack n leg 😃
That was all in one walk a total of 3 months. I had about 14 resupply stops over the 1200 miles. The longest resupply was around 160 miles! Yeah definitely a summer trip since I started in Glacier National Park, Montana. You can definitely learn more at www.pnt.org/ Thanks for watching the video!!!
Corey redding It wasnt that bad, as long as you have good physical maps, which the pnt.org have and their maps downloaded on your phone for backup you should be good. There are many alternate trails but i heard the Leola Creek is a bushwack which i dont recommend.
@@davidz1205 ANY creek is a BUSHWACK in the PNW unless heavily maintained or DEEP DARK forest which is prime logging land and why it is logged usually which makes HORRENDOUS brush. Why everyone always goes STRAIGHT uphill and walks the ridges.
Gosh, I really appreciate that you shared this without the addition of music or commentary beyond small factoids. This was wonderful.
This video was amazing. Thanks for sharing it without any bullshit.

Incredible quality for the video overall. You're editing is not unnoticed :)
Denis Belya Thank you!!

I loved listening to the sounds of the video loved the video pace.
Looking forward to your next project

Incredible scenery, thank you for sharing this amazing journey!
Shoots. I just finished the Appalachian trail and I'm seriously considering doing the PNT before the PCT OR CDT. Great ViD!

It sounds like theres a lot of people doing the PNT this year. Cant wait to start
Fantastic, what a journey. Thanks for capturing it so eloquently.
Loved your 'footage' without music or commentary. You captured the majesty of the Northwest. Particularly liked the old mining cabin you poked around in. I'll bet you slept outside. Thanks!
Most of the cabins / shelters have rats in there, so I try to avoid human structures when I am hiking.
Love it! Thank you for shooting & editing this beautiful footage and sharing it with us. Looking forward to my own PNT thru-hike this summer!
Yo this is the best video on the subject. Thank you for how you put this together.
Great video!

Thanks for the kind words! If you like hiking I recommend the GAIA app!
Awesome video! Thanks! Shared it to friends
Great video! Love how you listed the name of the area and didnt put any background music. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video...thank you.
Great video man
Awesome. Thanks!
So dope
Congrats sir...
Thanks! I hope to make this my first long trail hike, or two 6 week section hikes.
tnprime Nice! I would join the PNT 2019 facebook group and visit the PNTA website for updates. Happy Trails!
David Zermeno thanks for the advice I will!
First rate work!
can't believe you only have 9k plus views!

Stunning and great work. Will be attempting in 2020. How did you find the resupply and town access?
Bill Caulway 2020! NICE! Most of the resupplies towns the trail goes right through, except Republic and Forks which are important one to resupply. I skipped Bonners Ferry in Idaho and Yaak Montana. You can find more info/maps at www.pnt.org/pnta/know-before-you-go/plan-your-trip/trail-towns-resupply/
Beautiful! Just added the pnt to my bucket list.
Well done! It's nice to see a recent video of the trail. What month did you start? And %wise how often did you have to bush wack?
I left from Two Medicine June 27th. The biggest and serious bushwack is through the Selkirk Mountains. Other parts of the trail were just overgrown but you can still feel the trail below. It is hard to judge how many bushwacks but there there are only a few and not often, probably 3 in total.
Thanks, we are thinking of doing the trail in 2019, and in some videos the bushwhacking made us wonder if it was a fun trail or not.
was that a Llama on the beach at 10:36?
also, thank you for this video, currently overseas and it made me feel like I was back home, I admire your dedication on hiking those 1000+ miles.
Hahha yeah it was a Llama...it was right on the Hoh River so I am not sure if it an escapee or not. I am happy to hear that my video made you feel those emotions!
Such an awesome video! One question, what did you use to film this?
Thank you! All shot on the iPhone 7 Plus
I got a ton of questions.
All in one walk or in sections? Did you have any resupply points? If so how far apart??? I used to live in Vancouver near Columbia River... never heard of that trail. Looks beautiful.
Summer trip??

@@davidz1205 thanks David... sure was a awesome video. Beautiful trip
Love the video. What time of year did you do this?
Started hiking the end of June 2017 in Glacier National Park and finished end of September. Thanks for the love!
why this trails is not a 4th trail to make it a quadruple crown? or part of the triple crown instead of at ?
Coniferous Forests Not exactly sure....
some of the trails look hard to follow with all the overgrowth, was it difficult staying on path?
Corey redding It wasnt that bad, as long as you have good physical maps, which the pnt.org have and their maps downloaded on your phone for backup you should be good. There are many alternate trails but i heard the Leola Creek is a bushwack which i dont recommend.

Grizzlies not an issue?
As long as you make noise while you are hiking, cook/eat away from your camp and hang or tie your URSACK around a tree you should be good.
Nice.. I will explore the trail from my computer. That is good enough for me
Any permits?
Yes, through Glacier N.P, North Cascades N.P., and Olympic N.P.
10:36 llama?
Yeah, very random..not sure if there was a llama farm around or not
Great video!
