That's a blue bottle jelly fish. And yes stingy. Piss on it if you get stung. Heaps of them at the beach I walk on on the si wc

Few questions. Would the cheap tent and bag you got for your $1k AT videos you are doing now hold up to Nz? I'm a kiwi and I live tramping and camping but I don't back pack. I'm looking into it. Doing point Elizabeth this Arvo with my mum.

I live this guy. Everyone else's camera angel... Face. This guys? Thighs!

Firefighting requires an insane amount of skill and knowledge that people don’t realize. It almost makes me sick someone would even think about it being “unskilled”

Most Outdoor people are so fucking weird. He calls himself everyone's pappi. Wtf

I feel like I missed something here. How do you have $953 dollars left on the budget after all the gear you bought? Did you have a $1000 for gear and another $1000 for food?

It might be worth getting one of those transfer devices so you can combine the partially empty fuel canisters into one canister when you find them in the hiker boxes.

The lack of stability while living like this is starting to get hard for me, now that I'm 30 hahahaha but my friend said "maybe there's stability in your instability" because if I was working constantly I would be so mentally unstable that I would have a break down

This is amazing. I'm very budget bound and it's nice to see a thru hiker taking $$$ into account. I'm cheering for you!

In this video you shared details previously unknown to me of how you funded your amazing hikes. Thanks! I am reminded of Peace Pilgrim saying her journey wasn’t for everyone, especially for folks with family responsibilities. That’s why about six weeks in I became an AT section hiker after initially planning a thru hike for 2008. And because of that plan change I had the good fortune of meeting and hiking with you a bit in VA and ME in 2016 when I completed my AT section hike-then remained acquainted and spent an evening, night, and morning with you on the AT in 2022 during your epic CYTC. I think we all face a myriad of choices over the course of our lives, each potentially life changing for good or ill (with nothing being permanent). If made with positive intentions for all concerned and followed through with persistence and integrity, the best possible outcomes will result. 22:24

I am very curious about your spirituality.. u clearly are super disciplined!… do you believe you are a sinner? Do u believe in sin?

You're the most hardcore of these KZbin hikers and don't just glorify gear that will alienate new hikers because they can't afford them, you actually make it accessible by showing how it can be done simply and cheap, rather than just showing shiny new gear that will make you a " real" hiker. You're a breath of fresh air in the outdoor community

👍🐿👍 awesome...

Why do I wanna do this now? I'm way to old for all that work but I guess it's something about the challenge

Those views were infact abhorrent and vile. Ty for sharing

Hi Jack 👋🏻 Thanks for the view my friend ⛰️God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you 👊🏻👍🏻

Reishi is horrible if not boiled for a looooooooong time lol

this is great. very motivating. i have the opportunity to not do what i hated and am trying to get myself to find out how to get the opportunities to do what i actually want. i am probably still scared to take the first step and just let it evolve from there without having it planned out. it was good to hear it!

That’s why reishi is boiled for many many hours and usually suffering incurs while trying to use it medicinally.

are u afraid of lightning strikes when hiking through a storm

Don't have kids. Got it! Good advice lol

Thanks again. I would have taken off my shoes in those trail rivers.

Thank you for this.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I know many people think they can’t afford a thru hike, but you’re showing it’s truly possible. As someone who pretty much hikes with my dog all of the time I rarely stay in hotels, never in a hostel and spend very little time in town. I do this because of my dog but it really does cut down on cost. I am sure this series will inspire others to get out and hike. Thank you.

I hate people so much. Id kill myself if I got such hiking with them.

So you’re essentially flipping God off while playing in his playground 🤦‍♂️ that’s screwed up man just stop!

Digging the Sadhana/morning practices. I agree that it can be easy to slip into detachment with some practices. For me it was the journey of learning between detachment and non attachment. For me non attachment is being present with all things, pleasant /unpleasant without holding on or avoiding, so non judgement so there is no attachment, so you still experience life to its fullest without becoming sort of robotic detached observer all the time. So other meditations you may enjoy, a couple qigong ones, visualise sending light from your heart, to the heart of those you come across, with an inner smile. I visualise a green beam connecting my heart to theirs. Anothed is pore breathing, perfect walking meditation. So while walking or sitting just imagine all the qi/light around you, in the leaves, trees, streams, being breathed into every pore of your being with each inhalation, and back out to the leaves, trees, streams on the exhale, as you exchange /share with your surroundings. Its quite energising! Im enjoying your journey, thanks.

👍🐿👍❤ stay safe

The hiker box hot sauce is a nice touch! I’ve got to try the pb-honey-pop tart tortilla!

Pulling for you buddy!

Listening to "The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter" and you've made it. Pretty easy to get sucked into town life and stay on a shit day.

the BRS stove is goated lol

Can't hear you

That orange play was a quintessential hiker trash moment. Necessary!!

Never seen anyone more frugal then I am! 😇

All the love 🐾

How is the hear holding up?

Naming yourself quadzilla is such a flex, love it!

Best videos ive seen of the at this trip

You rock bro, that orange had extra protein and you washed it off LOL. KEEP ON KEEPING ON ⛺🥾

You're an inspiration! You deserve more subs.

For myself it's the hike and not the designation that matters. Might be one reason I am so slow and take life easy. If I wanted to rush , hurry and be speedy I would stay on hard pavement and in town. Two benefits of being retired and over the hill , age wise. LOL.

I am really digging the concept of this hike…I have never followed anyone doing the extreme budget angle. I have hiked enough of the AT to know the temptations of splurging when you go through a town.

Nimrod is such a great dude. I called him for a shuttle. He apologized that he ctdo it and sent me a list of other shuttles. He makes a mean breakfast as well!!

dont forget min made rice is cheap and its freeze dried easy to cook

Very nice , Jack , take your time and take it all in . Keep up with the meditation . I will too . Thanks for the program.

loooool i dunno about that orange pick up

Your channel is continuing to change my life for the better. Not only these budget thruhike videos which are game changing but also right back to the fitness videos of a decade ago. It’s good to know you too have found the meditation path. It all fits. Thank you and ❤ from another fellow Jack.

I think you can eat the ants too. 😁
