So much love for the CDT ✌❤🏔
Thanks for the vid. Beautiful section - nicely described and presented. Look forward to part 2.
What I dig most about your chronicles, Darwin, is your realistic approach to hiking. You're not hiking ridiculous miles daily as I see with some others here on CZcams. I just don't see how pushing your body to aggressively hike 30-40 miles a day gives you any opportunity whatsoever to actually take in, or absorb the visual beauty of the experience. I understand long distance hiking in regard to a physical sport, but, in my opinion if you're hiking 40 miles a day you're more focused on milage than the experience? I guess people have different perspectives on it. Anyway, I prefer your philosophy on distance hiking, personally. Keep on truckin'. Love the vids; thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words Stevie! I think there is a time and place for hiking big miles as well as slowing down and being in the hike. It def depends on what type of day it is, what the scenery is, & what type of hike it is.... Thanks for Watching!

Darwin
Most thru hikers don’t do 30-40 miles everyday. It’s more like 20 miles.
Great video! Beautiful desert, amazing trail magic and sweet tent spots! I love CDT videos. The trail seems wild and crazy!! Thanks Darwin. Looking forward to video #2!!
Thanks for Watching Virginia!

Great vid! I like the combination a stationary hiker shots along with the StickPic commentary. Adds to the feel of being there. That day three camp...awesome!
Thanks Byron! I really loved that spot!
Hike On,
Darwin
Sweet video Darwin! Looking forward to part 2, thank you for sharing. ATB, Bill
love your videos Darwin, one day i will thru hike one of the scenic trails. You taught me a lot so far..
That oasis at 17:00 looks like a danger spot for flash floods. I would personally have pitched my tent up high on the side of that ravine, unless I was sleeping on a raft. Lol.
Do you think that dead rat could have caused issues after filtering the water?
Awesome video! Keep these coming! I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you and I can't wait to see the next one. -Max
This was awesome! Thanks for sharing. can't wait to see part 2!
Thanks for Watching Cap!
Hike On,
Darwin
hell yeah this close to home, nobody ever would walk through that desert part props to you Darwin, gettin er dunn
I’m late to the party but wanted to let you know that your thru-hiking videos have been a calm for me during these strangely chaotic days. I hope to find myself on a thru-hike and/or section hike one day soon. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. P.S. Love the music in this video! Very soothing. 😌
JUST WATCH OUT FOR FLASH FLOODS WHERE YOU PITCH YOUR TENT ! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO RAIN WHERE YOU'RE, IT COULD HAVE A BAD STORM HIGHER UP FROM YOU & WASH DOWN TO YOU! MAKE SURE YOU ZIP YOUR TENT CLOSED BECAUSE OF POISONOUS SNAKES , LIZARDS & ALOT OF DIFFERENT ANIMALS OUT THAT WAY. BE SAFE! HAVE FUN! SMILE! GOD COUNTRY! ENJOY! OUTSTANDING BEAUTY! GORGEOUS PICS & VIDEOS! GOD IS WITH YOU ALWAYS! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME TAG ALONG WITH YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY! AWESOME!
Great advice David! Thanks for Watching!
Hike On,
Darwin
Great video. Pretty cool camping spots can't wait for part 2
Thanks for Watching DragonsTrails!
Hike On,
Darwin
I love the intermittent sound of the wind blowing through your mic. It makes the adventure all the more eerie and lonely, which is what I would anticipate on such a journey.There are (were) ghosts galore traveling with you.
Great start! Looking forward to the next update!
So we have Darwin on the CDT. Dixie and Blaine(Shredding the Gnar) on the PCT. Who's checking in on the NCT, ADT and AT?
Cool I'm glad it's not just HS kids finding the stuff and it goes to the hikers as well... that wasn't my cash mine was Budweiser and Powerade thought of making a big refrigerator out of LG pots for that stop but last time found the cooler and stuff trashed... Coodos to those who maintain it more often
Loved this! Personally, I don't mind the wind noise. Yours was minimal. I think it makes you feel more like you are there. The wind is noisy in one's ears if we were there in person. Same dif. That camping spot did look fantastic. Thanks for taking us along. On to part two!
Reminds me alot of So Cal. You'll have some of that on the pct. The year you plan on doing it will be drier than 2017 but no where near at least 6 years prior to '17. Idylwild to Big Bear is a roller coaster. Water, water, water.
Wow, I was born and raised in Southwestern New Mexico - this is the first I've heard or seen of this! I always imagined the CDT started somewhere in the Gila Wilderness.
I love your hiking videos! If you ever hike Sawtooth Mountain Loop Trail, the Kern Plateau, the Mojave Tail, or really any trail...i'd love to tag along. 🤠
Dude, you're videos define the word "yearning" for the rest of us.
That was excellent, great job on the photography. How do you like the SMD treker tent ?
I'd have never thought I could do the cdt but after watching this and learning about guthooks I'm thinking a cdt section is in my very near future!
Darwin, love yer videos! Have you ever rock climbed? It seems like something you’d get hooked on. I got bit by the climber bug about a year ago, and it really added a whole new element to my backpacking adventures man.
There’s even an advanced technique you may dig as a regular solo traveler, it’s called rope soloing. It allows you to climb safely with a rope, by yourself. Badass 🤙
Thanks Darwin for another great video. So far I don't see me ever wanting to hike the CDT. That will probably change when you move further north. Sometimes in life in must pay all your dues up front in order to cash in later on.
It's a great trail Orion1820. You should get out there and get a taste of it! Thanks for Watching!
Hike On,
Darwin
Nice Hat! Devils Backbone! Wanted to hit that place on the AT but timing didn't work out. Found a few bottles at Catawba though.
Great quality on the video. You're right that canyon camp site looked great especially with the water source. That first section of the hike looked really tough for following the trail that seemed non existent. Was it as tough to follow as looked? Look forward to part 2
Nice Devils Backbone hat I know a few guess that work there.
1. Love the vid! Great hike!! ⛺️ 🌵 2. Love the hiking music! 3. Were you alone overnight at the last campsites? 4. This is basic, but I wonder if you'd consider a video about adjusting and using trekking poles. Did you use them differently on the CDT than the AT?
really enjoyed this. you found a couple of sweet spots for the nights!
Thanks John! They were def sweet camp spots!
Hike On,
Darwin
Hi. As always, enjoy your videos. Question: How did you know where the trail went? From your videos, I rarely saw much of a "trace" and certainly very little signs. Thanks, Ken
Really enjoyed that bro...Thanks!
No Prob! Thanks for Watching Kev!
Hike On,
Darwin
Excellent! Did not want this video to end. BTW, the GoPro Session 5 video is fantastic. How long will this section hike be? Consider turning it into a thru.
Just wait for Part 2! It was a 7 day section. Back in "real life" now, but wishing I was still out there headed for Canada!
Hike On,
Darwin
CDT used to start at Antelope Wells.
Must have been some changes since.
Great adventure 👍Darwin ! Beautiful views. The best hotel ☺️👍wildcamp. Great hiking. Tks for sharing. Crack on 👍.
Thanks for Watching Carlos! Keep an eye out for Part 2!
Hike On,
Darwin
@Darwinonthetrail what dates did you do this hike? I am doing this same trip first week of May, hoping for mild temps and a low Gila! Knowing your timing will help me navigate my expectations for my timing
No stove is a bummer my friend. Cold ramen isn't very good nor oatmeal. Going to light in the pack makes for misery that I'm not crazy enough to try. Love the videos
This is cool..... I'm currently living in silver city.
Great ob on doing a CDT video. Are you by your self on your journey?
I lived in Golden and still live nearby. Coors IS NOT BEER. We swim in Clear Creek just above the factory in the pure rocky mountain water hope you use your filter.
Hiking pole, the original selfie stick
Hey Darwin, I was always under the impression that trail magic was for thru hikers only. I was curious what your take on trail magic for section hikers is. Thanks.
I enjoyed your hike :)
how is it going stove less? Do you do coffee cold or just sans coffee. Cold Ramen I don't know hot Ramen is bad enough. thanks
you don't mention if there was water at the place where you camped 14 miles in. i'm guessing there was. was it a cache or a spring or a tank of piped in water?
I live in silver city....i would worry more about javelina and mountain lion. Snakes on the trail maybe but i don't think they want anything to do with people. .stay safe ......enjoy my mountains
What buff do you use? I was looking at the OR sunrunner but see more versatility to the buff/hat combo.
A thought on the umbrella- there must be a way to attach it to a bendable pole and insert it into your pack rather than have to hold it.
I googled it and there are references to people doing it. It's a great idea!
So when's the full CDT thru hike!?!?
What a Treat!! lol nice video Thanks!
So do you live in Lordsburg New Mexico? If so how is it living there? I want to live in a smaller quieter town. I am done living in Roswell New Mexico. I have been here my whole life, and it has been going downhill faster than it has ever gone before.
What kind of camera are you using? Thanks
So silly question here, is there not a way to make the water safe even if there is a dead rat in it. Would filtering not take care of it, or would it need to be chemically treated as well with iodine or bleach or something similar,
Homemade Wanderlust is on the PCT.
Homemade Wonderlust is on the CDT. She did the PCT last year.
Hi sweet channel ☺ Keep it up!
Where did you get that water bottle holder from
how far did u travel on this section hike how long it take you
I was in silver city last week for the tour of the gila. Hope you ate burritos at don juans.
Nice! No Don Juans, but had some killer food at a little hole in the wall Mexican joint!
Hike On,
Darwin
what did you use for navigation?
Would this hike on the CDT encourage you or discourage you from any future CDT hikes?
Def Encouraged! The CDT is harsh, but Beautiful! Thanks for Watching!
Hike On,
Darwin
I’ve heard the Colorado portion of the cdt is beautiful
Is there an actual trail to follow?
I can't believe I ate the whole thing!
You went a little high class by sleeping in the van. Lol.
Rats have got to drink too. And those cow trough sides are slippery.
Well said. At 5:15 that's exactly what I would have said.
how do u navigate if no trail??
'The Mingler' ..... haha
Did you run into any RVs with meth labs? j/k Breaking Bad was a good show. I have to say this: kids don't do drugs. Hiking you get a high doing all by itself. Wonderful!
To be honest, I would love to hike in desert mountains. I did actually hike a short distance down in Arizona, the 'South' mountain range, just south of Phoenix. I think it's like a city park. Very cool experience.
The name of these places is hilarious... lol.
Why didnt snuggles join you ?
Getting use to hiking solo for the PCT next year! Thanks for Watching!
Hike On,
Darwin
Go catch Homemade Wanderlust. She posted from there yesterday.
mrjt1223 I was thinking same thing when I seen this video
mrjt1223 she's on the PCT not the CDT
Oh yeah. I guess I should read the title of the video.
What Travis said... lol Thanks for Watching guys!
Hike On,
Darwin
Great hike, minus the rat. It would be great and completely different from others if you showed a map at each stop giving a look of your progress, and previous stops. Lucky you didn't get burned worse than you did. Thanks.
I would have carried at least a gallon of water. After all as you drink it, you loose the weight.
Darwin, are you growing your hair out?
Yes sir I am! Had long hair for years, chopped it about 5 years ago. Goin back long!
Hike On,
Darwin
Get some sort of wind protection for your mic. Nothing more annoying than listening to that.
Noted....
Hike On,
Darwin
Great videos Darwin, Sorry didn't mean to be negative about the whole thing. I love that you and your wife have decided to make such a drastic change and that it seems to be working for you. Living the dream brother.
Hey ¿umbrella? why don´t you wear a wet cloth all around your head, neck and chest just like Tuaregs does... that is his secret. That will keep you cool and protected from heat and the light of the sun
I suppose I should have known better with the name "Darwin". I am unsubscribing because you used my Lords name in vain.
