You know Dixie is filming because 1) It has wildlife in it, down to beetles and ants 2) She captures stunning shots, sometimes even time lapses 3) She shares personal stories and feelings, even when she's emotionally vulnerable. I'm going to have to give her a perfect 10 on this one (on a scale of 5)

Your growth as a filmmaker, documentarian, and storyteller is astonishing. The things you are doing with close-ups, panoramics, time-lapse, night photography, editing, and music are marvelous. And as grand as this adventure is, I love how you tell it through the small details, the human scale, the strivings, and the shortcomings. Finally, the guides are indeed rockstars: your guides in particular, and guides in general. They make the thing go, with proficiency, with humanity, and humility. What a terrific experience. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Mostly I watch, but sometimes I have to comment: Climbing Kilimanjaro was a bucket list item of mine for many years. A friend, who recently passed, climbed it back in the 1960's. We used to say we would do it together one day - but we waited too long. Long story short, I logged on this morning and was happy to see your video. After watching it with great interest, I must admit I smiled all the way through. Your "shout out" to the porters was well deserved, and I appreciated your "personal admissions" when you described the touch of altitude sickness and your reaction to the woman being carried back down. While I now realize I won't ever climb Kilimanjaro, I will resume my section hike of the AT this April (Day 103, Mile 1105.2) and I WILL check that off my bucket list in 2024. Thanks for sharing this video - your most recent contribution to my "motivation bank". Happy Trails! Willi Pyro

Nobody Makes it without the porters, NOBODY. They know what they are doing and they know the pace to take and they know human nature. Thank the gods for the ones who do the work to make things happen for the others the world over. Where would you be without the cheering section of the rest of humanity? You would be alone in the wilderness. Truly ALONE. Even folks like Dixie are the porters for the rest of us to learn from>Good Job Well Done Dixie and crew.

My oxygen went to the mid 80’s as well. Totally freaky. I had the same experience with all the guides and porters. Beautiful, caring people. Thanks for giving me the chance to relive these memories!

Congratualtions, you will carrry this with you the rest of your life. Tallest free standing mountain in the World. Five major ecological climate zones. KZfaq wasn't around in Janurary of 2005 when I climbed Kilimanjaro. Still I used a Sat Phone with serial internet to beam photos and map locations back to my website. Climb up was 6 days, down was in 2. Classic Western Breach Ascent. Pole pole was always on your mind, which means slowly, slowly. You acclimate as you climb. No Helipads or permanent buildings back in 2005. On the day of the Summit hike, we started from Summit Crater, 18,800 feet. By the time we reached the Summit 3 hours later, 19,340 feet, it was 7am. It was so cold the water in our bottles froze. Looks like sublimation is still working on Furtwangler Glacier. Amazing how icy it was toward the top.

I was looking at hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Pichu. There are dozens of packages found online...many with gormet meals, guide services, mule packing even ATV's. In fact, hiking the trail without guides and elaborate meals is hard to find as the locals take pride in the services they offer and how they earn a living. I think it can be a beautiful thing. So proud of you Dixie and the humble way you have documented it.

Dixie, You are such an inspiration. I lost my father while we traveled across Alaska and did hiking. Unfortunately anoxic / hypoxic hit my father hard due to the differences in elevation and passed away while on the trip. I love watching your videos it brings back so many memories of Alaska and the challenges we took. You did make mention about being serviced with tea and hot water did you find it difficult to travel in such a large group of other hikers since you have been doing so many hikes alone? Thank You Again for Sharing and I’m so Happy you shared this experience with so many who you inspire ❤

Oh my goodness, I’m so so sorry for the loss of your father. I bet you made a lot of great memories ♥️ It was difficult being with a group and recording. Some people don’t like being on camera (and I respect that), but there’s also constant noise/talking. You can’t capture as many critters. I was on someone else’s schedule, so had to work around that. It was a good trip though, and there are pros and cons to being alone and being with others!

I don't think I've ever had a KZfaq video, or hiking video, make me cry, so this was a first. Pretty magical what you all did, and the humility shown and appreciation for your complete experience was perfectly expressed. I wish I'd been born slightly later, so I could experience this myself. It looks life changing in the way that only hard, hard work and internal motivation can do. Congratulations!

Hi Dixie - Thanks for the video. Congrats on making it to the top! I was actually on the summit with you the same night. I think we got up slightly before because we were in the clouds the whole time at the top and you were fortunate enough to see some sunshine! That was a beast! What caught my attention was your description of the woman being carried down with her daughter chasing. She passed us as we were going up from Barafu. I was hoping you had heard how she was doing. My guide didn't have any info, and I hope she was OK. It was a scary moment, for sure. Congrats on making it and it was a trip of a lifetime. Here's my wrap up from our trip --> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n99dnqR2zrmyimg.html
