Hi, I’m Elina and in 2019 I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. This was my experience.
Like with your first love, it’s easy to look back at this PCT experience with rose tinted glasses. But the thing I will always cherish truly were “the people.”
Thank you to the Pacific Crest Trail Association for protecting and preserving this beautiful trail for us to enjoy. Thank you to the Trail Angels for the love and support you gave on trail. Thank you to all my friends and family for the love and support you gave off trail. And thank you to all the insanely inspiring hiker trash who made this whole experience everything it was.
We’ll remember this forever.
(Extra thank you to everyone who donated to my Blood & Leukaemia Foundation fundraiser).

Laid in bed watching this and I cried. Wow. I'm currently going through a sort of quarter life crisis and I'm not sure why, but this made me feel like I need to do something, make a change, explore, do something big. When I saw Oregon, the tears came. It's one of my favorite places on Earth. I went there in 2008 and it changed my life. I went on a trip with Wilderness Ventures. We backpacked for 5 days, rafted for 3, and climbed for 2. I'll never forget sleeping under the stars in absolute awe of how many I could see...it was mind-blowing. You did an amazing job with this film, it was so beautiful! Congratulations on your journey. :)

I started the trail wanting to be alone and feeling like I'd probably never connect to anyone, boy was I wrong. I love my tramily and because of the mutual suffering we now have a bond that only others that have hiked a long distance trail can understand. Thank you for such a beautiful video.

@semperintrepidus16 4 жыл бұрын

@@slekdidwbfi8692 I had a long conversation with a keenly observant and studious repeat hiker. We were on trail north of Agua Dulce. He clued me in that those who actually do the distance from terminus to terminus are predominantly introverts by personality. But what happens when a bunch of introverts find themselves hiking, camping, and living amongst other similar personalities? There are certain dynamics that happen on the PCTs that cannot really be predicted, yet they predictably happen every hiking season. Sometimes expectations grease the wheels but the most wonderful developments are usually unexpected. Unofficial rule #1 is Hike You Own Hike. It cannot be overstated. Rare exceptions aside, a long hike is Not a group event...but it Is a shared experience. To truely understand such a dynamic irony, one has to become a long range hiker.

My name used to be Godspeed. I finished my thru hike of the AT just two months ago and it's irreversibly changed me more than I asked for. I'm just a kid, I hadn't even finished high school when I started and the sights I saw, people I met and things I did changed everything I though I had in my future. Everyone always asked about my why and I never had one, I just felt like there is no place for me in the world so why not be a misfit there instead of here. Now my hike is over and I'm living in a house with strangers i see every day. The feeling of not moving, smelling good and just the absence of a backpack is breaking my heart. I never thought I'd miss it at all and now it's all that I miss. I was on the fence about running away to hike the PCT but this video just pushed me off- I'll see you in april. GODSPEED.

I'm so glad I did it before I got too old. Even 10 years later my feet are a wreck and I can barely walk. I intend to get out there again, though. I don't care how much it hurts. It hurt every day anyway. The PCT. The most bittersweet, painful/athletic/sorrowful/joyful thing I ever did.

I've met hikers who only had one working arm, a hiker who had a prosthetic leg, a hiker who was 385 pounds body weight when he began, and even a hiker who was blind as a bat (trail name: DareDevil). Except for the young hikers, I rarely met a hiker who didn't have physical and or mental issues which added to the challenge. Yours truely is no exception, but I think the personal disabilities tend to be connected with the inspiration to put aside the final excuses and just go to it.

A good childhood is an amazing thing, so much to wonder at, so much to learn, and much growing to do. Such a time in a person's life also includes growing pains. As we leave youth behind, most people get set in their ways and settled into a comfort zone. Growth does not happen in the comfort zone. The wonder of hiking the PCTs is that many get to rediscover and to experience real personal growth...as they step out of the comfort zone. For those anticipating such an experience, plz consider the following opportunity: Get off the Grid. Take the 100 hour challenge when you hike. No devices, no GPS, no email, texts, music nada. Take in a genuine experience for a few days. It will not kill you, but you might just get a real taste of being alive if you dare it.

I am totally amazed about what you published here. By FAR, the best, most thoughtful, well edited and photographed record of a thru-hike I have ever seen - and, believe me , I've seen many. Could not wait to show it to my girlfriend who is a director (professional photographer, 20 years of experience directing TV-shows, series, documentaries) for the biggest TV-Network here. She was completely surprised and her first reaction was: "There's no way, that this was not done by a professional!". She was full of praise and enjoyed seeing "It Is The People" just like me.

One year ago I started thinking about how it would be nice to go somewhere for couple of months when I set the company on it’s own legs. Couple of hikes later and couple of hiking gear videos later I stumbled upon this shortdoc masterpiece and I knew instantly that this is what I was looking for. Pct in 2021!!! I guess, Thank You Elina!!!

Unfortunately did not run into you this year on trail, but so many other familiar faces in this amazing video. You captured the trail feeling really well and watching felt like being out there again. Thank you so much for that :)

Aww thank you! It's crazy how that happens, meeting so many people but also bypassing a lot of others.

Insanely beautiful video and words. My fiancé and I met talking about wanting to hike the AT and life keeps happening to prevent it -- which is ironic in its own way. We have now bought a 1965 motorhome and are restoring it though with the goal of traveling, hiking, and seeing as much of America as we can (which is what our YT channel is on) and this has made our hearts lighter but someday -- someday -- we vow to do this. Thank you for reminding us of the beauty of long-distance trails and thank you for refueling our desire to do this. L (and Andy)
