  • We hiked over Selden Pass, crossed the “wildest” river yet, and had pizza at Vermilion Valley Resort.

    My son and I were living vicariously through you and hiking dancer. Not sure where you are now bc of the CZcams delay, but we just got to Quincy today after starting Monday. Safe hiking and see ya out here at some point!

    Fireball is your mischievous sprite 🧚‍♂️. And your Peter Pan off on once-in-a-lifetime adventure. And VVR pirates have captured with their cunning and robbing you blind . The scenery is
    awesome . Be careful and safe!😅

    VVR is notorious for overcharging on services and goods. Back in the day they would resale items left in the hiker box as well.

    New subscriber here : the way you take videos of the trail is amazing. I know it’s more majestic in real life. Thank you for sharing.

    Chap, I'm sorry to tell you that your so-called "Connected Footsteps" illusion is only a Pipe Dream. You should have taken the boat! Now THAT's an adventure worth having. I hope you're lucky, because I know another thru-hiker in 2022 who dreamed the same connected-footstep dream, and all it took was one wildfire in Oregon to dash her dream to bits. Just the same, "Hike Your Own Hike" is the real key to happiness, so you do you, but don't let it rob you of other experiences. BTW: I definitely love Fireball and her spunky spirit, so I hope she changes her mind and rejoins your tramily. Carry on, and I love your videos!

    LMAO, At this point one of you just needs to adopt Fireball.🤣🤣🤣

    Saving money by not taking the boat ride, means more money for pizza and beer. 🍺🍕🍺🍕🍺

    As I was working in my hay field today, I surmised the definition of a thru hiker. You guys are athletics.

    VVR is expensive, but also great stop. Keep up the great videos and hike, Money Bags

    You're the 1st hiker I've seen mention the price of the Ferry or the price of food at VVR. Wow! Nothing like taking a platinum hike without the plantinum! AT seems cheap in comparison.

      Holy crab, these prices are higher than in Switzerland...

    Yeah for the Fireball update!! Glad to see her doing great. 😊 Thanks for sharing.

    Hiker Math: You spent $100, but you saved $40 by hiking, so you saved almost half of what you spent (don't check the math, haha)! Yeah, sometimes a wrong turn earns you an adventure and sometimes it's just a slog, either way you guys have got this handled.

  • @chriskelly6559
    @chriskelly6559 Před 12 dny +4

    Don't you just love it when a plan....falls apart. It's not the destination, it's how you get there.....damn, wrong way. Yoose guys have been a lot of fun to watch. Crackerjack.

  • @campoljato
    @campoljato Před 11 dny +4

    Given a mulligan, I have no doubt you'd take the ferry next time, especially after the hike back to the PCT.
    For context on costs, VVR is deep in the High Sierra, and the barely maintained, sometimes single-lane road to get there takes 3+ hours from any wholesale supplier.

    You are going to need to practice that Ric Flair “woo” 😂😂. Do the socks on top of your pack smell sweaty?

  • @Randee04
    @Randee04 Před 12 dny +4

    The takeaway I have gotten from watching you thus far on this trail is that there is so much price gouging going on I think it’s horrible! People are charging way too much because they know they basically have got you. Not a fan. Glad you got some pizza anyway.

    You won't get rid of Miss Crabs aka Identity Crisis until Canada ❤😅

    Smelling like McDonald’s. 😂 that should be the name of your PCT full-length documentary.

    Hi there, perhaps a naiive question, to avoid perpetually wet feet would it be better to swap your hiking boots for the Tevas, then switch back after the crossing? This is not a gotcha question, I truly don't know. I assume it's just a pain to keep switching back and forth. The flip side is ur specialty insoles are getting wasted! Let us know so that we can all learn!
    Thanks for your videos!

      Some of the crossings are too swift for Tevas. Ned the full foot protection.

    When i thru hiked in 2020 vvr was vrazy expensive and there math did not add up was told u only pay one way for boat ride but nope both ways all resupply was out of date. If i hike again would skip

    Dumb question…what is a pass? What makes a pass a pass?

    • @ElPiedro80
      @ElPiedro80 Před 11 dny +2

      It some part of the trail that needs to be passed ;-)
