Why are you in the swamp? Either you are nuts or the bravest guy in the world. There could be Burmese Pythons and water moccasins in there too

Florida hiking gets such a bad rep for being easy, but the trails with water and sand are tough! I live here, but I'm avoiding this section lol

Hey!!! Just had a baby in October. I am very loved. I keep saying I will do an update video just so busy with life. My home base is Chiang Mai, Thailand still. Oh got a bad head infection that required surgery and almost died in September. Sepsis yikes. Still alive and happy 😃
@MonikaPodgurska23 күн бұрын
Is there a particular time of year where the water levels are lower? Also are there trails you can take to bypass the swamps? For example let's say you aren't a purest and don't care if it is the official trail but still want to hike sobo or nobo. Rain I don't mind. Wet shoelaces on the other hand... huge pet peeve.
@SecondChanceHiker9 күн бұрын
Yes easy to skip wet sections. These videos I filmed in December and January. Rain season starts again I believe in May. So I would hike it in April. Just my two cents. I did this hike 4 years ago now so been awhile. It’s still an unforgettable experience. Most people in my life now have no clue I did things like this lol.

Thanks a lot for this video. However, it is missing something I can't find on any video about this subject : once you self arrested, how do you get back up ? Is it as simple as just walking carefully up ? How do you stand back up safely ? How can you avoid sliding down again ? Anything to watch out for ?

You should wear a bandana covering your head while walking under Florida’s big Sun for a week at least. I also wouldn’t wear shades while walking through swamp with cover, or at all while out there. For me, in all my years here, a bandana has served me well.

Used to be obsessed with hiking and wanting to go ULTRAlight backpacking when I was a sophomore in high school to do when I was in college. Used to watch your PCT videos all the time. Now I’m 20 and just remembered your videos. I used to be very healthy and skinny. 150lbs, I ran track around 6 miles everyday. I went hiking almost every weekend. Now I’m 20 overweight at 270 lbs. your videos have inspired me once again in a new and completely different point in my life. Just wondering where you have gone for the past 2 years ?

Sorry about the weight gain. It’s a challenge. Keep fighting. I also gained weight. Yoyo is normal. It goes up and down. I lost 8 pounds this week and getting it back off. I still go on crazy adventures. I just stopped posting as dang people are toxic and I guess I took it personal. Hitch hiking on cargo planes. Just got back from adventuring with my two sons. Sucks I couldn’t bring my wife on last two adventures over visa issues. Married over two years to an amazing woman and my home base is Thailand. Baby is on the way in November. Living my best life. I told myself I should do a video this week. I am on the fence. Cheers 🍻

It hasn't had that effect on me. I started at age 21 and 200 lbs., and I still hike now that I'm 57 years old and 310 lbs. It's great fun, and I have very strong legs, and I'm in fairly good cardiovascular condition, but, no, it did not take off any weight.

Bold going up there in winter, smart to have a guide. Even if you make the cabin to stay in, the avalanche conditions could still worsen while there . Neat to see it in winter.

Lots of people get the answer to this question who have managed to die, have life review, and then return to the physical body to continue their life in what sometimes is a massively different way to see reality. You can read about these as NDE’s, but basically you are living right now, love yourself, extend love to all you can, don’t worry be happy, love everything and everyone as God living. Peace to your heart, enjoy. Popularity and social status is far from what the point is, being perfected love and joy is.
