    My husband and I have been watching you guys along with some others and you are by far our favorites!! We look forward to your new videos every day. We're going to hike the PCT next year. Keep on smashing those miles.

    What a great video. Absolutely, why just hike for speed, and not really take in the beauty and take time to enjoy those special moments. Awesome to see that if you like longer lunch breaks, to not feel bad to take them. Exactly, never forget, like you said, to smell the roses. You never know if you will ever come back to those spots again. We just love how determined and with a smile "Birdcall" does his paintings, and you writing the book. What a wonderful way to capture, in addition to your videos, this great adventure. We will definitely buy your book and hopefully a painting. Stay strong, smile a lot and always remember to enjoy the journey. Many Blessings

    That's not just a hat, it's your badge of courage.

    I love your videos. Your whispered story made me laugh out loud, and I needed a laugh today, so thank you. I hope Bird Call recovers from the incident quickly. Happy trails to you and your tramily!

    I get the attachment. On my first thru in 21 I wore an exofficio sun hoodie. It was bullet proof and did not smell like ass after only a few days. I wore it again from Campo in 22 and finally had to say goodbye in Mammoth Lakes. I will admit to you hear and now....and you are the first to hear this. I made a small goodbye video to let my old friend go. I hope your hat stays with you to the finish, but if not then let it go with dignity however you see fit.....😅

    What the heck 18:00, birdcalls handling pencil like a cnc machine. Art and precision. Keep drawing.

  • @Elizabeth-pt4bv
    @Elizabeth-pt4bv Před 8 dny

    Does Bird Call know what he's going to draw before he starts, thinks about it during the day, or it develops as he starts? The pictures are really amazing. Better day today, well done and thanks for sharing your adventure with a stranger 😊

    The hat is like an old friend. I get it. I have about 25 favorites. 😁

    @highway88hiking38 Před 11 dny +4

    You and your tramily are making really good time. You have the space and time to enjoy your adventure. Also, tell Birdcall be thankful it was a mosquito and not poison oak. It could always be worse. :)

    I love the story about the pin on your hat.I think this is one of your best videos yet.Bird call what size lead are you using in your pencil?I actually make custom pens and some pencils.

    • @TravelWritePaint
      @TravelWritePaint  Před 2 dny +1

    I love how Birdcall outlines his art - thanks for showing us. How is he keeping it all dry - will he carry them the whole way or does he mail them off or give them to cookie momstah. :)

  • @musingwithreba9667

    Don't quit on a bad day. Wait til the next day to make up your mind if you choose to be happy on trail, or miserable back in the city at some job. 😂 Choose happy trails 😊
    I hope your foot gets better, that looks nasty!

    Some say if it’s not fun anymore why do it? Because when we push ourselves and challenge ourselves beyond what we think possible, there is a deep and long lasting work accomplished within us. “The ending of a thing is better than its beginning.”

    Interesting comment about choosing to be happy. Had the same conversation with a relative not too long ago. Ya know the one about taking life's lemons and making lemonade.

  • @michaelsalzer4362
    @michaelsalzer4362 Před 11 dny +1

    I would be very interested in purchasing some art from Birdcall. I live in Oregon and am very interested in someone capturing the un rendered splendor of Three Fingered Jack. The PCT runs right by it. He is a fantastic artist and having a piece from fellow hiker trash would be that more sweet. His work is amazing. Please let me know if he is interested.

    • @TravelWritePaint
      @TravelWritePaint  Před 2 dny +1

      I will let him know! That sounds like a beautiful place. Check out his website RiedelGallery.com there is a contact form to give him more information!

    Awesome video, Thanks for sharing. Hike your hike and if that means 1.5 hr lunch breaks, go for it! Funny story with birdcall, however, I'm sure he didn't think so at the time. Yes, take time to smell the roses. Take care of those feet! Trail magic was awesome. Birdcall's drawing is amazing! Hike~~On~~>

    You'll have to look up the song "there's a Skeeter on my Peter" . (FYI....There are several versions and some are distasteful..but funny)

      @jilltaylor4932 Před 11 dny +1

      On the story about the PCT I listened to, the author speaks of the ‘North Cal Blues’, I think as an anticlimax after the Sierra. However like you she decided that she could put it behind her and choose to be happy. There is plenty of beautiful scenery and wonderful experiences to be had on your adventure and I’m so happy to be coming along😊

    I too, moved from Altras to Topos after a PAINFUL Achilles issue. I am in LOVE with my Topos. Curious what models you each got?

  • @sharamckinney575
    @sharamckinney575 Před 11 dny +1

    Meh…….if the hat gets a little too rough, get yourself some gorilla glue and she’ll be good as new! I totally understand the sentimental fondness and attachment you have to your hat…..it hasn’t failed you yet!

  • @RoyalLyon
    @RoyalLyon Před 11 dny

    Let me start the bidding on your hat at $1.98 and a fresh roll of TP! LOL I love your sense of humor in the middle of the long miles!
    And I love it when you end the video with Birdcall painting. Amazing! What a way to remember and wind down from the day!

    • @TravelWritePaint

    Yep good !
    Loved the flower and trail magic. Hated the condition of your foot. Ouch. Need to soak in Epsom salt air it for a day. Love your hate and pin. I noticed it a while back. Stay 😎

    By the time you get this, about 10 days have passed since this episode was recorded... thought I would share this anyway, hope it helps.
    I heard another hiker say something she tells herself when times get tough... She imagines her 8 year old self and her 80 year old self cheering her on. Be good to yourselves and be patient with yourselves!

    Please don't make this an exercise in torture...take naps under trees, take some more time at that extra beautiful spot...be children again!!! Celebrate this moment in your life that you will "forever" want back again once its over...when it's all said & done the tears you've shed on this trail will be remembered as tears of joy.
