HIKING AND EXPERIENCING THE PACIFIC CREST TRAIL / PCT DOCUMENTARY

- Hi, I'm Sebastian and I want to share with you my experience hiking the Pacific Crest Trail! I've decided to hike the PCT in 2020 and I picked this trail because of it's beauty and mountain ranges! I grew up in a ski resort in Romania and I wanted to hike a trail that reminded me of the mountains back home! The trail starts at the border with Mexico, crossing through the states of California, Oregon and Washington and ends at the Canadian border! Most hikers complete it between 4-6 months and it took me exactly 5 months and 19 days to thru hike this massive trail, walking a total of 2653 miles! You walk every day from one place to another with your home in your backpack...a tent, sleeping system, some clothes and food, resupplying in the towns near the trail...It is a great adventure, camping in beautiful places and meeting a lot of interesting people along the way! I hope you enjoy this video that I've put together as much as I did filming it! Take care!

This was a very comprehensive coverage of the PC T. Thank you from a Washington native! P. C Welcome to our home.
.
Thank you so much! I’m happy that you enjoyed the video! Washington was stunning, with some of my favorite wilderness areas! Thanks for watching!
You're a true explorer!
Thank you!!!
What a wonderful video ! I find that you describe well the landscapes and your feelings about the trail and the people you met ! And it's quite easy to understand you even if I'm French 😉 (your accent is not too strong). Thanks for sharing your experience and for the beautiful pictures 😍🙏
I'm dreaming of thru hiking the PCT...
Thank you Natalie, I'm happy you liked it! Don't give up on that dream!!! For a few years too I was dreaming to thru hike a long distance trail in the US and eventually I started saving up, bought the gear that I needed for the hike, put my job on hold for a while and started hiking the PCT the following year! You should definitely try and make it happen if you can...it is such a great experience and you will make so many beautiful memories and friends along the way!!! Take care!
That was really, really enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your PCT journey with us. What an experience! Watching this on a rainy autumn afternoon, SE Australia.
Thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you liked it! Take care!!!
Beautiful!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Stayed home 2020 and a little sorry I missed all this. Congrats on making the commitment to do this amazing feat.
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!!!
Really wonderful video. Thank you and congratulations on having earned such a great experience.
Thank you Peter! It was a great experience! Thanks for watching!!!
I loved all of it. Thank you!
Thanks Joshua! 😊 Take care!!!
I live in WA and have hiked many sections in your video. It brought back great memories and also made me want to research other areas to section hike. Thanks so much for this video!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the video! Yes Washington has some beautiful scenery...my favorite section was around the Goat Rocks Wilderness with Knife's Edge or by Mount Rainier National Park...made some great memories there! Glacier Peak Wilderness too, very pretty and remote! Thanks for watching! Take care!
Thanks for taking me along, Through your video! I truly enjoyed the trip!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!!!
Beautiful video. You are so brave to finish the PCT. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you so much Esther! Take care!
Amazing job, well done! This was a seriously nice watch, thank you! There are a lot of PCT videos and blogs out there, and I find this one was a cut above a lot of the others. Gorgeous camerawork, mostly focusing on the natural sights along the way, and a very calming voice to listen to. I hope you end up making more :)
Ahh thank you so much for the nice words! I'm happy that you liked the video! Take care!
Wow! Magical views you guys have. I love hiking but can’t hike in the remote area as I am scared. But watching your hiking journey in PCT and seeing you all enjoying the hike makes me happy. Thanks for sharing your journey. Be safe.
Thank you so much Giovanni! I'm happy that you liked it! Take care!
Just found this , what a beautiful video, your wonderful achievement had me in tears! My son started 2 days ago from Tehachapi ( couldn’t get a permit from Mexico sadly ) so it’s fabulous to see his journey thank you , be so proud of your adventure x
Ohh thank you Anthea! I'm glad you liked the video! I hope your son has a great time on trail and hopefully he can obtain permit for the Mexico to Tehachapi stretch afterwards...I wish him good luck!!! Thanks for watching!!!
What a great documentary! This was so inspiring. Thank you for sharing this with us. I want to do this someday, for now you at got me through my work day as I watched this on my second screen at my desk. Someday soon....
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!!! You should definitely do it if you are thinking of it! Before my hike I watched a lot of videos too, with other hikers completing this trail and it seemed like a tough thing to do! But one day I said to myself that I will start saving money, buy the gear that I need and try and hike it the following year and I'm glad I did! It's definitely worth the memories and friends that you will gain along the way! Thanks for watching!!!
Great video and experience! Congrats! 😜🔝
Thank youuu! Mersi frumos Andrei! Noroace!!!!

Hi Black Market. It's Headfirst. Great video. You did a great job of capturing so much of the trail experiences. I almost want to hike it again.

But I’m glad I’ve finally finished this little movie! I’m glad you liked it! I hope everything is going well and the leg is all healed up! It was nice to have met you out there!!! Take care Headfirst! 😊

Great documentary! Loved it
Now I really want to head out for a hike. 😍
You should! 😊 Thanks for watching!!!!
Sebastian! Really enjoyed your vid, and I've watched tons of hiking vids... Interesting to see how different people respond to the 'Trail Experience'.... I've turned the corner on 70 so don't get out on trail a lot any more, but love doing TM when I get a chance! Take care!!
Thank you so much, I'm happy that you liked the video! It's awesome that you do trail magic and help others! Congrats on reaching 70!!! Take care!
Trying to find a hole in my air mattress,
love this video. Going to watch and coffee!
Then repair... Thank you for this beautiful
trail view!
Thank you so much for watching! Take care!!!
My wife and I just finished watching this wonderful video. It was so exciting to see all the familiar faces from the class of 2020. I remember meeting Money very early on, being shocked to hear that he had never backpacked prior to starting the PCT, then running into him again at Hart's Pass when we we're heading to the terminus and he was on his way out after finishing.
You did an amazing job with the filming and editing. We're ready to go out and do it all again!
Roadkill & Goldilocks
Ahh thank you so much! Yes, I hiked with Money for the first part of the trail, including the Sierras and I remember meeting you guys too briefly at Kennedy Meadows! I know Roadkill was rocking that cool quilt :) and you guys were heading out on trail when we just arrived there! I'm glad you enjoyed the video...I've been watching some of the ones you've posted on your channel too! They bring back nice memories of the trail! Hope everything is well and here's to more fun hikes and adventures! Take care! Black Market.
Hi, Ken & Thia!!! Just finished watching, and had been wondering if you guys ran into each other!! LOL Only got out a couple times with TM last summer... busy 'care-giving' and 'taxi-driver'... I'd been following 'Sam & Moriah's Journey (they were EARLY finishers) and met them at Harts Pass Aug 10th when they returned from the Border. Could NOT believe someone had 'cold beer n goodies' to celebrate!!! Hope All's Well in Palouse!!
Great success my gypsy!!!!
Haha, thanks Cam!!! 🤟🏻
Amazing journey! Well done. Thank you for sharing these incredible moments! You are a ROCKSTAR........................
Thank you Mark! I’m happy you liked it! Take care!!!
Sebastian, amazing video!!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!!! 🤟🏻
Really liked your video, you always stayed positive and happy. I know there days that you wished you were home, but you stayed the corse. Good for you, now go and get your triple crown. You can do it!
Thank you Michael! I miss the long hike so maybe soon enough I’ll make plans for another trail! We’ll see! Thanks for watching!
Amazing journey ❤️ Amazing

Awesome video brother I've been always wanting to do it (PCT) for the past 5 years but I've never built up the courage to try it. Salud🍻
Thank you so much...you should definitely try and plan for it and do the hike! It's really a unique experience! Thanks for watching! Take care!!!
An hour and a half is wicked long for a CZcams video but I loved it and I watched the full length of the trail and video. It was great. Thank you so much.
Ohh thank you for watching! I’m happy that you liked it! Take care!

I’m so proud of the hard work you put into reaching your goals! I know how much care you took into making this documentary ❤️ and it shows 🙂 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks you sweets! ❤
Loved your Documentary. I follow as many PCT hikers as possible every year...I have never seen the passes and Mt Whitney with no snow :O ... What was your start -finish date?? And this was 2020? Wow I was surprised to see so many hikers out there as they seemed to discourage them due to Covid! I'm glad it didn't stop you! Great Video, thank you for sharing!
Thank you! Yes it was in 2020, started in April and finished it in September! Thanks for watching! :)
@@heidiscott9226 Do you have photos? ..Id love to see them
Awesome video work what camera did you use and software to edit? Thx for sharing your amazing journey!
Thank you so much! I used a Panasonic Lumix G85 and edited it in Adobe Premiere Pro! Thanks for watching! Take care!
Congratulation "Black Market". Thanks to have share this with us !
I'm feel so nostalgic at the end of movie.
what's the music you have used at 11min ?
Thanks, I'm happy you liked the video! Song at 11 min is this one czcams.com/video/QpdRFTRmqJM/video.html
NIce work! What camera gear were you carrying on your journey?
Thanks you! Panasonic Lumix G85 and DJI Mavic Mini Drone
Great video...what kind of camera or cameras did you use? Thanks.
Thank you so much! I used a Panasonic G85 camera with several wide angle and zoom lenses and a DJI Mavic Mini Drone. Take care!
Great video.
What drone did you take with you? I’m toying with the idea of taking my drone with me (DJI Mini 2) but am not sure whether it is worth it or not. Were you able to use it as much as you wanted?
Thanks Oliver! Yea, I also carried the first version of the Mavic Mini...it was freshly released at that moment when I bought it and pretty lightweight...I also had the fly more combo which served as my battery bank to charge my phone too, so instead of carrying another power bank I used the usb port from the fly more combo! Yes, I flew it whenever I had the chance and it's good for capturing the views from above! Thanks for watching!
Great Video! We also fall in love with Hiking Outdoors while we have been in Ecuador☺
Always amazing to see other travelers with the same passion to create CZcams Videos☺
Ever been to Ecuador? - so beautiful. We Created a cinematic Video of it☺
Lilia x Kai
Thank you!!! Sure, I’ll check out your video too! Thanks for watching!
Great Stuff....But what happened to the new shoes? I saw another documentary of the PCT where the guy must have gone through 4 or 5 pairs...
Thanks Ken! Well I did go through 4 pairs of shoes, but they were similar looking, they were the Altra Lone Peaks, and if you watch closely, I started with some yellow and grey ones, half way through I have some grey and red ones, and towards the end I had a La Sportiva model for a little bit then switched back to the grey and orange ones from Altra! Thanks for watching!
I would literally die if I pass through all that snakes
They're not that bad, you just give them time and let them slowly get out of the way or get off trail and go around them at a safe distance and then continue hiking!
How do you get the rattle snakes out of your way if you need to cross? or do you just wait for them to leave on their own?
Yepp, usually I wait for them to leave or I go off the trail, at a safe distance and walk around the area where they are, then hop back on trail!
Did you have any problems with your backpack being black in the hot desert sun? Did you feel like it made you extra hot?
I didn't get too hot with it, I tried to avoid the heat from the middle of the day, and some sections of the desert I even hiked at night or very early in the morning! I chose the black model because the dyneema composite material of that model is thicker and more durable than the white model that they have.
Time for the Continental Divide Trail and Appalachian Trail.
Haha, we'll see! Thanks for watching!!!
I always expect to see a mountain lion…
Haha, me too! Haven’t seen one on trail but some hikers that were walking a few hours ahead of me did! They showed me the photo of it at the campsite! Thanks for watching!!!
