2024 PCT Hiking Announcement

[@robynfinn1407]

The Band!!!! And Hazel too, absolutely perfect!

[@stevelalonde9851]

My wife and I watched your pct hike last year, and still talk about your attempt to hike through the sierra’s with the ragging night time river crossing and the ice pick climbing. It was off the chart amazing. So excited you are heading back out here. We will absolutely be watching!

[@atg7437]

Just seeing your faces makes me smile.

[@MarmaladeOutdoors]

This is awesome news although I’m not sure why you’d want to hike with that Marmalade guy again! Haha so happy you guys going back to finish this off. Next the four of us can do the CDT! Cheers guys!

[@richardinjapan4578]

Come on, Marmalade! The least we need is a cameo appearance ... 😄

[@MarmaladeOutdoors]

@@richardinjapan4578 it would be really fun to hike with them again!

[@tonyrums9312]

I just started backpacking a couple of years ago and started following you last year as I was preparing for a 60 mile hike in Wyoming. You both are an inspiration and provided practical knowledge that helped me train and gather the proper frame of mind to enjoy the entire journey. About the time you guys skipped forward out of the Sierras, my wife started watching with me and we both delight in the humor. In fact, I went back and watched the entire AT video collection as well. We were both excited to hear that you are going to be back at it later this hear. We look forward to watching your adventures with Hazel and Mr. Freeze. We are moving to Ohio this year so perhaps I'll meet Mr. Freeze on a local trail as I train for my next adventure. Enjoy!!!

[@bridgetrunshikessurfs]

So excited!!! Glad you two, and the rest of the crew will be back! 🎉🎉🎉 The Sierra's will be amazing 😍 for you!

[@doubledgaming4032]

Look forward to the whole crew getting back together!

[@rimonagale1625]

So happy that Hazel will be with you. YaY!

[@keithgarrett9829]

So happy to see you guys are keeping well and I'm so excited see you guys back on the trail. From South Carolina here.

[@dansworld9635]

Yea.....you're back.... NICE. (how old do you have to be to be a codger?) I'll be starting at Campo in just a couple handful of days. Happy Trails....!

[@Christiemomma]

Hey that's exciting news you guys! Congratulations ❤

[@michelleoglesbee-flores2518]

Yay. Been waiting patiently for you to announce this. I cannot wait to follow you three again. Happy Trails, Happy Trails, Happy Trails!!!

[@TheP1rata]

Welcome back Codgers. Looking forward to your adventures.

[@GaryB94558]

Good to see you guys. I'm glad you are doing well

[@wayneclary]

Hey that's great. I may see you. I'm a codger myself at 77 years old. Trail name double oh 77. Happy trails.

[@ReallyBillHiking]

Hi guys! Really glad to hear your heading back to the PCT. I've been using your experience to tweet my own NoBo PCT plans for 2024. I'm an ol' guy myself (69). I'm tentatively going to be passing Quincy in early August. With any luck, our paths will cross.

[@jeffreyrule8143]

You guys rock. Look forward to your upcoming hiking exploits. If you are also thinking about doing the San Jacinto section and need a ride, let me know. I live in San Diego.

[@R1_adventures]

So glad to see you again ! Hope to see you for real on trail, as i’m hiking the PCT this year.

[@jvaldizzy]

This made me so happy! I’ll enjoy walking on my walk pad in the heat of summer along with you!

[@timothybryant649]

I must say I have missed you guys, really looking forward to check out the gear you will be using, as well as the rest of the band bringing it. Being a tad older than most hikers, you have encouraged me to get out and live that dream. Looking forward to what comes next.

[@rkatrails]

Happy to see your familiar faces! I'm eager to see you two and the gang back on trail in the Sierra. Happy Trails!👣👣👣

[@debbieraby]

What a treat to see you in my feed! My brother hikes out of the Reno area and has a channel: Sierra Nevada Hikes. He and my nephew did the Tahoe Rim Trail two years ago, and last year my son joined them to summit Mt. Whitney. Best of luck to you on this year’s adventure!

[@CProgression]

Welcome back!!! Okay okay. I'm going to say what others have probably been thinking.... these guys really need a show on an outdoor focused cable network.

[@kellyjohnson3617]

I hope you have a great time picking up the parts of the pct you missed. I’ll pray that you won’t hit any fires. It’s so beautiful out there and we’ve had a bunch of snow in the sierras again but hopefully by then the rivers and creeks will be more dried out. Enjoy the desolation wilderness and Tahoe. Yosemite in the north is challenging in a totally different way but stunning. And Tuolumne meadows should be open so you can get a bit of food there and maybe stay in the campgrounds around there. Look forward to your posts

[@robertr8531]

That's great news guys. Can't wait to see your further adventures on the PCT.

[@miles_for_adventure1327]

I am so excited to see your videos - This part of the Sierras is beautiful

[@MikeRiggsAdventures]

Nice it would be cool to see you guys as I head Northbound on the PCT. You guys are awesome and killed it last year. Have a fun hike.

[@LenserX]

Welcome back, gentlemen! Sobo is definitely the way to go through the Sierra. We, Beerman and I (Ranger), did it sobo in 2019. It was a heavy and late snow year, so rather than mountaineer our way across, we jumped up to Fish Lake in Oregon and walked south. By the time we hit Kennedy Meadows north the snow was already melting pretty fast so all the way through we had a little snow (a couple harrowing crosses and climbs) but nothing like what our friends did that chose to continue nobo. ALSO we found that by starting our Sierra experience from the top, we did indeed enjoy a gradual acclimation to the altitudes and the climbs. It really felt like the best way to do it to me.

[@stephensherrill9237]

Very exciting news!! Loved your videos on the Pct!

[@Dora-bmrwarrior]

Glad to see you guys again! Looking forward to watching the videos of your Sierra section - it will be epic. Cheers and Happy Trails :)

[@Nomadmike425]

So awesome and looking forward to watching you complete your PCT through hike!

[@joanhennes2249]

Great to see you guys again! So after you finish the PCT, what's next? Will you be hiking the CDT to become Triple Crowners?

[@cindywagner4182]

Wonderful news. You guys look great, rested. Good luck.

[@marilynboyd2175]

So happy! We really miss you guys! Yay! Doing the happy dance!

[@Judy-fi7ce]

Hi guys! So nice to see your video pop up! So back at it in August! And with Hazel, Mr. Freeze and possibly others. We'll all be looking forward to that. Will look for your upcoming gear review. Take care.

[@TomO-il3ls]

Great news - really looking forward to your trip! The Sierra in August and early September is beautiful.

[@danielmunter6838]

Fantastic! I've been following your videos last year and will be on the PCT from late April on. If you are not starting too late in August, we might meet in NorCal. I'll look out for you. Happy trails!

[@debbiel7659]

SO GLAD you are back!! Did not see that one coming!!

[@OldGuy56]

Great news! The two of you have inspired this 68 year old to get out and do a LASH of Oregon and as much of Washington (NOBO) as I can this year! Hearing that Hazel is joining you again is great! Perhaps, if she agrees, you can tell us all a little bit about her? Happy Trails!

[@melindakier1661]

I saw that she's a great artist besides a great backpacker

[@marck3995]

Darn it. Since your are going SB, I won't see the clan. I have a permit from Mammoth to Bishop Pass starting Aug 3rd. Have a good trip. Snow is not as bad as last year. Have fun!

[@indiaandrews6996]

At least you can use a bear can for a washing machine and a seat. Upside to everything.

[@apumpkinsmom]

This is great news. I've just recently started watching your 2023 PCT videos, just finishing day 38, so I wasn't aware of the parts you missed. I'm planning on making the hike, but I'm a few years out still. I've enjoyed watching your daily routines, and getting lots of tips from you.

[@jeffandsuefisker2190]

Glad to hear that you have more plans. It was a pleasure meeting you on trail and you both looked like you had more miles in you yet. I tried to hike the sierra nevada section in August in 2018 but there were too many fires so I ended up doing the trail in june 2021 and june 2022. Gorgeous. Best wishes for a great hike. Queasy Rider.

[@loricollins3163]

Whoop whoop!!! I was just thinking about you all! Great news! Happy Trails!

[@TerrySchoenthal]

It was so fun crossing paths with you last year as I was travelling SoBo in Washington State. I suspected we hadn't seen the last of you guys!

[@mickyeadams]

The music!! I missed it and both of you. I watched every video of PCT and felt so connected. I may not get to hike it before I'm 65 so I can live vicariously via you both. Maybe I'll see you in the Sierra in August.

[@sdsadventurer]

Yay!! Looking forward to following along. Hoping to do the PCT next spring. You guys motivate & inspire me!

[@garyblack2858]

Best news all week! Codgers are back to finish the PCT.

[@greenfeetoutdoors2779]

Really good seeing you guys. Looking forward to your adventure. Should be one for the books. Happy trails.

[@miketroutman7365]

You’re not going to finish up the North Cascades?

[@memathews]

Great, the band is getting back together and bringing in some friends! I'm looking forward to seeing your adventures this summer.

[@UncleGeorgeTV]

Hope to See you at PCT Days

[@rogerwatts2821]

Miss your videos. I really enjoy your adventures.I get to live life through your experiences.

[@marck3995]

Heard the Tahoe area is requiring bear canisters starting this year. So take them! All other areas just require BARE canisters only

[@GenX_outdoors]

Yay! So glad to hear your news! Careful for fire season in late summer…

[@coryoverstreet865]

Yippee! So excited to hear that some of the others will be there too. Can’t wait!

[@momof2dogs]

Sitting here in Colorado all snowed in and what do I see behind you both? DURT! Happy to hear you'll be back.

[@frankdotyjr]

Great to see you guys back!! I think I'll just tag along and watch all of your hike again this year!!! Peace!!! 👍😎✌️

[@montegomm]

Looking forward to watching your trek.

[@patrickdevlin9673]

Great news. Good luck

[@GrumpyForester]

Whoo-HOO 🥳🎉 Didn't think I would ever see you guys and Hazel again!!! I'm looking forward to you're section-hike wrap-up on the PCT. Been subscribed for quite a long time now (obviously) and ready to watch whatever it is you Codgers (and Hazel, of course ) want to offer us!!! Happy Trails!!!

[@bicyclemike42]

Very Cool Gentlemen. I'm a T/A in the PVC to Idyllwild to I 10 Oasis . Happy Trails to you . I am thinking of getting out in August too .

[@billysmith5468]

Glad to see you guy's. Happy Trails!

[@Erin60147]

Good job … hope the snow recedes for you. Best of luck.

[@motivatedhiker7446]

Soo happy to see you two!! It's been to long

[@HikingwithBigBear]

Glad you guys are getting back out there.

[@cheryl_the_horsechick]

Good luck guys happy trails! We are not getting younger. I'll be on the trail April 1st! You inspire me

[@bartcarr7485]

Heh you old guys - welcome back! We really enjoyed your hike last year. Happy Trails!

[@darlar.9043]

I’m so excited for you guys and the rest of the team. Looking forward to watching the videos and cheering for you.

[@KevinFillo-u8v]

Hi Guys, great to have you back! Following you last year inspired me to organize a SOBO trip with my son this summer 2024. I too am codger aged at 67, 68 in August, but I'm not letting that get in my way. It's possible we'll run into your crew on the trail depending on our pace and mileage which is yet to be revealed. Thanks for your dedication in sharing your adventures!

[@RicardoPeregrino-i4h]

Am so glad you guys are coming back🙏

[@chrisfox5089]

Yay!! So good to see you again and excited to watch you hike the rest of California!!

[@LoriG75]

Yay! Can’t wait to see you all again 😊

[@pauliedavis49]

FABULOUS! My day is made!!!! 🎉👏🏼🏕️🥾😁

[@carolinenunez3455]

How wonderful! I will definitely follow this journey.

[@stacynonoguchi]

Very excited you’ll be back on the PCT with the gang! Looking forward to your journey…

[@MinaS-dp6zf]

It’s great to see you both again. I will definitely follow along again. Best wishes to you both!

[@MrSargenti]

Glad to hear it guys! 🎉❤ It will be nice to see Hazel again too! She’s a happy soul. I really enjoyed your journey last year and am glad I have more to look forward to with all the special people in your hiking circle ⭕️ of friends. Best of luck to you all. 🎊

[@mikeb7117]

Didn't see that one coming. 😂

[@stewartjarvis3384]

Welcome back boys. Looking forward to seeing you on that trail!

[@maryhaven1754]

Exciting-my husband and I got our permit for Washington-starting July 15-

[@SasSaga]

OMG! YOU’RE BACK!! Whoot Whoot!! What kind of permit do you have to get , for this? GOOD TO SEE YALL!

[@lynnealane9724]

It made my day to see the two of you! Looking forward to another great year of watching the kibitzing!

[@xvernon3500]

Woohoo! Happy Trails are here again! I was just looking at your channel earlier today hoping to see something new and now I can go to bed happily anticipating your August trek with the rest of the PCT crew. So enjoyed your videos last year. Best to you in the prepping!

[@robertligas250]

I still would like to talk with Mr freeze I hike in Ohio. I am in Enon Ohio.glad to see you guys are back. I am still planning 2027 PCT trip.

[@johnm7437]

the lakes are amazing. the mosquitos should be greatly reduced.

[@cindifitzgerald9693]

Looking forward to seeing you guys again!

[@AlanStirling-pt3xt]

Awesome! We will be looking for your videos. Our son (trail name "Tomahawk") did the PCT last year also. While he sent some pix and videos we found that if we watched you guys we could get a much better view of where he was going to hike or had hiked. And in process of watching y'all we got wrapped up in your journey too. So glad you guys will be getting to finish and do the JMT- gorgeous country. Enjoy!

[@shaun7723]

Amazing!! I’m doing JMT NOBO starting 2nd week of Aug. Hope to see you guys out there. Happy trails

[@DovieRuthAuthor]

We’ve missed your personalities! Groceries will be out there too finishing up. I guess Huck miraculously finished. I miss his humor.

[@marck3995]

Dont sell yourself short, you look as "shaggy" as No Filter... 😂😂

[@GlenSteliga]

That’s great news. Happy trails. You guys, and Hazel, are inspiring.

[@petergregory5475]

I went through Codger PCT withdrawal after you ended last year. Glad to see you’re both coming back to finish off the PCT. Doesn’t sound like you plan on hiking through to Mt. whitney. It really is spectacular. If you have the time and energy, I strongly recommend you complete the PCT & Mt. Whitney from Bishop to Lone Pine.

[@MarmaladeOutdoors]

I think ending at Mount Whitney for you guys would be an amazing way to end your adventure!

[@richhunter2247]

Great news! Hope you're planning to summit Whitney this summer. Probably not too bad a trek from the west. Cheers.

[@jamesbonner5989]

Good to see y'all again and looking forward to following again.

[@breathe.move.perform.health]

Awesome you ole' Codgers 😉! August will be a great time to be in the Sierra. As for the adapting well to altitude, there are some things you can try now to be ready for that more heated time of year at altitude. Happy to do a live KZbin with you both and discuss some trail-tested, well researched ways to improve your physiological capacity at altitude and some things many trail enthusiasts don't realize what's really possible, instead of struggling and suffering unnecessarily. And you can do it from low lands, don't need to be high in the mountains to gain some aerobic capacity and improve your endurance. Even for the "ole' guys and gals!" Congratulations and look forward to having a conversation for you and your followers. Cheers!

[@anneest]

Great news! Looking forward to hearing more about gear changes / upgrades. And about training hikes, as I am always interested to see areas of United States I do not know. Cheers from Norway 😀

[@gusgus2539]

Thank you 🎉

[@garyblack2858]

Hazel too!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pursang0904]

Yay so happy you’ll be doing the Sierras this August and having your hiking 🥾 buddies too! Have missed your videos so please do some in between now and you leaving!!! 🌲
