Your PCT movie really moved me in 2019, I had just moved to LA and got my motorcycle license to buy my first bike. This past summer, I rode my old Harley to Devil's Tower, Wyoming and back, covering 3500+ miles all by myself. Greatly appreciate you for inspiring and continuing to inspire so many of us to say yes to the call of adventure!

Wish me to have the same kind like of adventure as you! I have plan to go somewhere to hike and i will do my best of the trip to be said "It's the people" as well! <3

This is wonderful. It has given me some insight into this journey - my son features in this video, and you have made what he experienced so much more real for me. I absolutely love what you have created here

Found you through a mistake. Enjoy your music and style of ur clips. You must eat some time up going through the footage editing and whatnot. Very enjoyable. Got terribly injured on a walk early this yr recovered and about to plunge in setting prepping the walk up all over again. Will take yonks to be off by winter. Cept watching ur clips of the te araroa so feel like doing another one just pack n go. Very enjoyable and thankyou...... walk on

Amazing!!!! Cant wait to do it for myself... But first I will be doing the TA ❤

What a lovely video. We hiked the Kumano Kodo in 2016 and we even got engaged during the hike. Stupid me forgot the ring in the backpack that we had already sent to the hostel - so a handmade one from bark had to do the trick. Thanks a lot for that trip down memory lane 🫶

Talking as someone in the UK, why do you wear what looks to us flimsy lightweight trainers for hiking? We have the habit here of wearing heavier duty, often leather, boots for hiking, wouldn't this be more resilient and supporting for the feet? Love your videos Elina 😁

Stunning views I hope to see one day soon 🏯😮

💚💛 Dr. Danger

I absolutely love, love, love 💕 your videos. Amazing job. I followed your entire hike and was soooo happy to see this video appear. Very fun video

Please drop betterhelp, don’t endanger your viewers

Awesome vid. Planning on starting '27 and this kind of stuff is what gets me excited. So many intersting and diverse perspectives

American spirits blue... she survives off smoking tobacco 🚬

An inspirational journey which is captured beautifully. Thank you for sharing 😊

Your video tears me up a bit, awesome movie

where is the film?

Really cool to see a couple of familiar faces from the CDT last year, definitely making me nostalgic! Keep up the great work Elina

I lovvvvved this! Thank you for your videos and perspective. ❤️ I’m wondering why Cam doesn’t have a trail name?

That was absolutely stunning Elina, truly profound. I wish you all the strength to continue in love. Best, A Forest Refugee

Did you have to renew your visa when re-entering the US after Vancouver? Logistically a lot more to think about if you aren't from the states!

Brilliant stuff, great video Elina - keep on thru hiking!

Any idea where I can get a camp cup like that? Looks ideal & could store leftovers in it

Awww, good job. Subscribed! To BAIT: …and when you do reach 50, (not old BTW) keep on going. I hiked the JMT this last summer at 60. There were ALOT of folks older than me out there. That surprised and comforted me. I’ll continue to do more short and long thru hikes as long as I can still walk.

17:45 - T-Dubbz knows!

You need to do another walk about and take me on another adventure …how about the CDT or AT

The trail thought me It's a given that nothing goes to plan and thank god for it, allow yourself the mental flexibility to enjoy that ride ❤

STILL one of the best trail documentarians in the game. Thank you SO MUCH for your work. It is always a pleasure to watch. All the best to you, Elina, and all who will ever read this. Jack NYC

I’m honored. Thanks for the interview!!

Remember your garden with friends 😍 love that. Also seeing Al the happy and relaxed faces! I hiked the trail in ‘22. It took me 157 days to hike the trail and 790 days to go back home. Depression is real but I love to call it grieving; the freedom, ‘simple’ life and goal and the people and beautiful conversations. My tip is give it time and go on a search for what you love in life. And keep in touch with your tramily ❤

Nice film as always. The new haircut is great!

Elina, you need to stop making videos about the PCT cus I becoming more and more convinced to quit my job and go and walk it!! Thank you for the inpiration to seek adventures in life!

i feel like i'm watching people in their natural habitat. Man, we were made for this.

I can feel the community through the screen and i'm usually really scared of people / interactions with others. It's nice. It's warm and it feels like home and yet i've never done a thru hike or met these people. I think part of it has to do with your amazing film making skills Elina. I was really sick for years and i'm just getting better and I just realized that maybe doing the AT or PCT isn't an unreachable dream anymore. Maybe I can still do this. I was so sure that it won't ever happen, and it might not - but now that things are going better, I just might.

YOU'RE BACK! HI ELINA :D

I know it’s good but it also sounds like stomach aches and 💩

Nice to see you again, Elina! I always love your videos and can't wait to see what else you're up to here in the states... :)

I wish I had known you were at PCT Days this year! I would have loved to meet you in person! Your PCT thruhike vlogs are my favorite of all the ones on here. I successfully thruhiked the PCT this year and attended the festival. It's cool to see so many hikers that I know from the trail in this video. The PCT is my second long thruhike. So the post trail adjusted isn't so bad this time. I knew it was coming. Spending time outside makes me feel good anytime.

What a great video! Thank you for sharing! So much fun seeing a few hikers I met over the summer, where I live in Packwood, WA! This will be great for the Class of 2025 to watch! #pct2025

Great video, I'm glad you were able to come out and document some of the class of 2024, visit the trail again and do trail magic! I was further south in Oregon around Crater Lake and didn't come up for trail days. It's amazing to me the variety of people who were out on the PCT hiking from all over who end up experiencing so many of the same emotions on and after trail (it makes me feel slightly better not quite knowing the direction to move forward as I wallow through my own post-trail transition). I can't say I have solid advice at this point for the post-trail transition, though it has been beneficial to stay in some contact with friends from trail. I think the hardest part to replicate and bring forward from trail to normal life is the community aspect of trail. It's easy to achieve a degree of feeling like you have connection through social media, etc. but it is a poor imitation of the sort of genuine community and simplicity of life most experience on trail. Cheers, "Blackout"

That was great, Tip Tap. Quite timely for me. Thanks.

OH MY GOD How did I not run into you?!?! Holy shit I must have been off trail digging a cathole to not have seen you. I know so many people in this video. This is so special. Thank you for sharing it I'm so emotionaaaaaal 🥲

8:27 25 miles = 40.2 km. Just doing my work. Cheers!

Very touching…… especially the comment from the gentleman who mentioned being 50 and realizing what they could have done with their life. I am 49 now and only discovered in 2019 my passion. Thank you so much for your kind words and documentation from the wonderful hiker community of doing this video and sharing so many words of encouragement from the threw hikers as well you yourself too. Hope to see you soon on another epic adventure 👣👣👣❤️🌲🌲

hey Elina, I have been a fan of your content since you started hiking the PCT way back when but was really disapointed to see the sponsor of this video. Please consider boycotting betterhelp, they have numerous scandals under their belt that indicate they are a harmful company (just minimal research makes this very obvious), and more importantly healthcare should be a human right promoting companies that sell healthcare excuses the government in its poor provisions of healthcare. cheers and much love from the UK

Hell yeah this was awesome!!

This summer I did a 1000km bike trip across the Alps. For some people it´s not a big deal, but for me it was. I came back feeling like I could do anything from now on. But in the last few weeks at home I´ve lost that feeling again. Thank you for reminding me with this video!

Twerk!!

Love your work. It gives us armchair hikers to get a delightful taste of the trail. There are two Marmots in the work, one at 7:50 and another at 9:00. Are there two people with the same trail name?

I enjoy your perspective regarding the trail. Your videos tell a wonderful story. Thanks!
