Oh man, just loved your first video. Instagram says your hurt and resting at Big Bear. Hope all is well with you

Thanks! I’ve been off trail for 8 days in Wrightwood (not Big Bear). I Strained an Ligament in my lower leg & had to rest up so it healed. Hitting the Trail again tomorrow morning though. The Adventure Continues!!! Hike On, Darwin

Thank you, I am in awe, at 66, not an excuse, but as an armchair hiker I may never get to see those views up close and personal, I appreciate the effort you take to share your experiences, thanks for all the gear help too, all I can add is, breathe and enjoy, time is precious, take that time to grasp the what and where, safe hiking !

it's so nice to finally get more footage from you, sir. that being said, may your leg continues to heal as well as possible now that you're getting back on trail!

Hooray! I’ve been waiting for this day :) As you thank the Trail Angels, I also want to thank YOU! Taking us along on your journey is really a great way for us to “get out for a hike” while we make our own plans for the summer. Personally, I can do 4-7 day trips, but not a full 4 months - so it’s nice to hitch a ride with you. Safe journeys- enjoy the views.

Dude! So glad to see your post. This has got to be more fun than doing Q&A vids. Well produced video. Looking forward to following your journey. You are my go-to PCT thru hiker this season. Also watching 'Dixie' go for the 'Triple Crown' on the CDT and several 'Class of 2018' AT thru hikers headed NOBO. Kick it man. Looking forward to following along. You got this. Be safe.
