Did you start the Sierra with new shoes? What brand is the shoe you wear?
@callofadventure673325 күн бұрын
I'm sorry for the late reply. I don't think I started with a fresh pair at KMS. I liked Saucony excusions, but the quality seems to gone downhill. They used to last for hundreds of miles until I wore the tread off, but lately they seem to rip on the sides way earlier.

Hi there. I have followed you along this entire journey and so enjoyed your educational and delightful videos. I am jumping off on 3/16/25 and wi seeing what was your start date? We hike a similar HYOH style and I’m reviewing and making notes. I actually have so many questions I would love to ask you. But first your start date?

March 15th, right around the same as you. They got a lot of snow in the Sierra around then. That's why I took so many zeros and nearos, so I could let the snow melt.

Regarding video of hunters and you wearing red shirt, I ordered a Frogg Togg rain suit just before a trip, and the only color they had for immediate shipment was brown. Thought no problem. I look like a deer! The only thing I need now is for my ex to gift me one of those hats with fake antlers.
