OMG Brooke! I'm a friend of yer Mom - met you when you were a kid. Wonderful video! I'm inspired! Can't wait to watch the rest!
Fun and funny ..I like your style...Looks like a great hike..maybe I will do it..soon...
Between "Mile. Mile And A Half" and your videos, I have been inspired to start back packing. Went to REI in Sacramento and got my equipment and will start my first trip in September, right after my 71st birthday. Thanks for all the great videos. Hope to meet you on the trail some where.
so...insomnia hit AGAIN!. and I'm about to rewatch the entire Tahoe-Yosemitie adventure!. again, love your videos!
Another great video! Just finished your John Muir Trail series (well almost - still waitin' for the last one) and I am now 'backtracking' through this series. Great job really enjoy your style!
Your videos are so inspirational.... Love ya Brooklyn!!
I'm one of your mom's writer friends. I followed your journey via her FB updates. Loved the video. What an awesome undertaking. I'm impressed. Look forward to the next segment.
Loved your video, thank you for posting.
Love your videos Brooklyn... You rock!!!
What an inspiring video. How wonderful you kept it up instead of letting your injuries discourage you. I injured my ankle and achilles tendon while hiking the JMT, was about 1/3 of the way through when I decided it was best to trail off and return home until I recover. Then I would go back to finish remaining part of the trail. One thing about thru-hiking is that it is a spiritual journey, and on all spiritual journeys there is suffering and pain, growth and humiliation, but most importantly purification. As with many pilgrimages, the body purifies. So I am so happy for you. Hiking in the wilderness is my love and I don't see myself stopping EVER. Next summer I hope to be able to do the TYT as well. Again, thank you for all the wonderful videos. Peaceful Trails _/\_
I could not agree with you more!
Ramen for breakfast??? EEEWWW! Seriously, whatever you like. Thanks for posting this, will watch the whole series!
20 pounds of food, 20 pounds of crap and 3 pounds of BEAR CANNISTER. Had me laughing from the start. Thanks so much!
I loved your video.... can't wait to see more!!! And I agree on the format, I do the same thing (in my short little mini hikes ;)) It can be informational if someone wants it to be, but overall I do it for myself too..... OK... on to watch part 2,3,4.... :)
I'm really glad I found your videos :)
Great job! Worth the wait. Thank you!
I love all your vids everyone of them...im from sac and I love hiking don't think I can do it solo. Great videos thanks
What a good video. Looks a good hike, I will look forward to watching the rest of the parts. Atb Glenn
I love your videos.
never mind the haters, but here in Philippines, we love to watch your video, Moutain Leaf Mountaineers Club... Waiting for your PCT or AT quest..
Thanks for the video. Motivates me for next years trip! TRT first for me this year.
very cool...such a wonderful obsession.....!!
AND your are a good videographer! You pan slowly, don't jiggle and move the camera around too quick, and you are funeeeeee!!!!! Really well done.
Your videos are entertaining. considered submitting to Sundance film festival and academy awards as a documentary. The best of the 2 is the Tahoe/Yosemite hike, its shorter and more humorous. IMHO. I do not know the criteria, but GO FOR IT!You are good!
You are too funny! Keep the vids coming!
@tracy o'brien I try to narrate as if it is my personal diary to read/watch later. That makes me focus on what's important to ME. It makes it personal. I'm not out there to make a dry documentary of nature. Ultimately, if no one watches my videos, it won't matter because I have my own account to rewatch and relive. I also think of my dad and mom who are my biggest supporters and what I would want to show them. Some people don't appreciate the more personal stories. They want landscape and nature and vistas, etc. And that's great! But I focus on the human experience.
Landmark, you rock! Well said!!!
You prolly dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm you can stream all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of days =)
@Dean Jerome definitely, I have been using Instaflixxer for since december myself =)
Love this whole series and you channel! you are such an inspiration and have such a beautiful personality ! have you already done the portion from Meeks Bay to PCT?
What an epic place to hike,you prefer the solo hikes? I prefer the long solo cycle rides just the solitude and when I complete them more sense of achievement!
Look forward to more uploads!
:)
Great video, as all yours are. Can you please tell me what tent you use. Maybe you could do a gear review of what you take, or have yoj done one already. Thanks.
Coronavirus cabin fever has me daydreaming of being outside!
I was just turned on to your channel. I love your videos. They capture the essence of solo backpacking. I find your narration interesting and entertaining. How do you decide what to talk to us about? When I hike, it never occurs to me how I might narrate my adventure as it's happening if anyone were watching me.
I envy you,wow I went to showers lake last week I fell in love with the place. I wish, I can go solo,but I'm afraid to get lost. I prefer a good hike then any bar or club.
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 and 3 are uploaded. 6 total. Hard to condense, but 16 days total
you are awesome.. that is all!
Awesome trip!! I was wondering what is the rating of your sleeping bag?
Can you tell me what permits are required to do this hike, where to get them, etc. Thanks for any info.
Had to re-watch this series, and I must say that I enjoyed it more watching this time.
Wondering what maps you used for this trek???
I love your vids and your sense of humor and the fact that nature brings tears to your eyes. Godspeed.
Aw, thanks! I used National Geographic maps
Nice work on the video of Tahoe hike. Just like the stuff you focus on I guess. I am a noob always will be but...when you asked what are missing as far as what the PCT hikers did, have you ever considered more ridiculously lighter gear?
Hi Brooklyn,
Which map(s) did you use on this trail?
Can you please offer a link?
I hope to hike Tahoe to Yosemite (on the PCT) and then the JMT to Whitney this summer!!! (I am starting mid-August, already obtained my permit).
Your video-blog helped A LOT! so thanks again :)
Awesome. Speaking on bears, i have way too many bear chase dreams to ever hike so deep in the wilderness. Im a scardy cat. But at least on a bike trail, i have a chance in hell to get away? Or at least thats what i tell myself XD
Any more new hiking video? Have you ever tried hiking Yellow Mountain, China?
Think we met roundabouts the time I found dan the man vids,pretty sure! ?
Road bike vid be cool or mtb,I'd like to mtb tour divide :)
Was gna ask per the square mileage on the pct what is the bear population? I only ask because it's something folk always say 'what about the bears' an you never see one! Not that you wna! Marmots are good,we love marmots.
:)
Camp #3, Wow
This is massively entertaining. My dad and his family did the trail in '71, I grew up on thru hikers tales. I want to do the trail myself, along with a bunch of other pieces of the PCT. How do you meet people who are also into backpacking? I'm too green to go on my own. Edit: I'm also from Sacramento, so advice on local stuff is totally acceptable!
I don't know how to meet people! 99% of the time I've always been alone. I met a nice couple on the JMT this year that I went hiking with again. That's a first. But I'm sure there's local groups or clubs.
Well, that wasn't helpful at all. lol Just kidding. I was thinking about trying to find a local Sierra Club Chapter. Thanks anyway!
House of K
A lot of people who work at REI and similar stores are also avid campers and backpackers. Good place to start.
Landmark, do you need a permit for this hike? Peter coconut :-)
Oh, wow, when did I meet you?
I prefer long solo rides too. I may put up vids of my downhill mountain biking but I also have a nice road bike and have done many a century. A couple for charities. Most solo. Nothing like cruising all day and realizing you road 120 miles. You've done 180? 200? Right? Wow... I need more bananas ;) Maybe I'll make a road cycling vid like you do
Have you ever thought of adding a drone with camera? That would be awesome and will definitely give you great videos and shots. You don't have to go back and retrieve your camera for long shots.
Lots of national parks have already outlawed the use of such devices, and I suspect that all the others will follow suit.
done many solo trips if no one wants to go i go alone
LandmarkAdventures Where about is Kenny Lake? I hope I'm saying that correctly.
Adnan Fazlic Kenny Lakes is just a few miles North of Ebbetts Pass
LandmarkAdventures Thank you very much for getting back to me. I'm looking for a nice section of the hike to do this summer and I really like that location. Also, I love the JMT video series. I hope you add more videos and have a lot of success with them. Best of luck!
Adnan Fazlic shows Kinney lakes on my map :)
Thanks! Have a blast and be safe. And Oh yeah... "Kinney" hee heee
BTW, can you read my lips? I know there is wind noise. I don't worry too much of what I say at those moments because it's ultimatley not important but if you want to know what I say... let me know
