So happy to see someone come visit and really have a blast! This has been “my” mountain to climb and ski for 54 years. I’m a solo backpacker too- and have hiked the TT 3 times! You did a fantastic job!

[@aidendecoto5244]

This video holds a special place in my heart. I remember sending it to my dad one night while he was working and he watched it on his lunchbreak. I was going into my senior year of high school back in 2021, and I asked him if we could go on this hike after I graduated as my senior trip. He happily said yes. I live in NorCal and this would be about a 6 hour drive I believe. Later that year, he unexpectedly passed away in his sleep at the age of 52. He was my best friend. My dad was the kindest, smartest, loving, and most hardworking man I ever knew. We spent a lot of time in the outdoors together, since my mom and sister weren't entirely fond of hikes. We went fishing, backpacking, hiking, and geocaching a lot. Dad, I promise I'll hike this trail for you one day. Your son loves you.

I can barely walk and have to walk with the assistance of a cane. Watching you hike and explore allows me to see nature and kind of do things that I can never see or do for myself. Thank you and keep up the great work!

It was pretty different than when you filmed, there were wildflowers everywhere and a ton of super friendly hikers.

[@downingbethune8758]

Thanks for the memories. I did this trail with my Golden Retriever about 30 years ago in my early 30s. Started Day 1 leaving from Timberline Lodge and finished the loop in the mid-afternoon of Day 3. I had one scary moment early on when I twisted a knee less than a mile from the Lodge and thought I might have to cancel. But after doing a few knee bends I was able to soldier on. Lots of rain Day 2. I actually ran into some people I knew on Day 3 while crossing the open area through the rocks where the trail gets really hard to follow. The White River was much higher when I crossed it, and I emerged on the other side soaking wet. I still remember the long slog up the mountain after crossing that river. I had pretty much bonked at that point and had to stop about every 100 yards to catch my breath. When I got home, my dog slept for three days straight, lol. Good times.

[@jdizzle6324]

Hahaha poor dog. I just hiked it yesterday. It was funny watching this video. I did it in two days though. I had the same problem with rain on the south east side all the way to the lodge. Soaked. Everyone should do it at least once.

One of the things I find refreshing about your videos is the lack of focus on gear. You’re using an inexpensive, but reliable stove, a stainless steel cup, a standard Kelty pack, etc. Great to see that some KZbinrs are “keeping it real”. i.e.- You don’t need to dump massive amounts of cash on your gear to get out there.

[@toothytube]

The Mt. Hood National Forest covers more than a million acres of pristine wilderness. The dominant tree species is Douglas Fir, with over 350,000 acres of "old growth" forest. The passive nature of streams you forded has everything to do with time of year you did this hike. At other times of the year those streams can swell to raging rapids that are many times over the width, depth, current and volume of what you experienced on this hike. PS: That "good stuff made by Mountain House" that you're eating is also from Oregon. It started out as LRP rations for those of us that were exploring the scenic countryside of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and were greatly appreciated by all.

[@hippyfrog]

Mt hood has zero old growth forests. It has all been cut and monocultured with Doug fir.

[@NatureShy]

@@hippyfrog False, actually. There are thousands of old growth forest still intact, much of it located in remote pockets or in wilderness areas. Although, definitely over half of the Mt Hood NF is not old growth forest anymore-mainly second and third growth. Lots of clear cuts, too, I won't deny that either. The MHNF is in my backyard, only 30 minutes away. I can name specific places you can find old growth, such as the Rho Creek area, the Bull of the Woods Wilderness, along Flett Creek Trail in the Badger Creek Wilderness, and along much of the Clackamas River Trail, just to name a few.

When you were toward the other side and saying it was the hardest hike you have ever done I decided I like you. You have a lot of heart to go out into the living forests of the PNW and do a distance like that by yourself, not being from here. I hope you come back someday and learn to appreciate the rain. Without it this place wouldn't be what it is. Rain makes your heart grow. Good hike. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing video !! I felt like I was there with you hiking this trial. And your comedic humor made this video even better to watch.

[@potatomittens365]

Absolutely inspiring; such a joy watching you hike and genuinely feels like we're part of your adventure!

[@danolson6476]

This was quite an adventure! To tell the truth, I was quite anxious for you, hiking alone. Grandma speak.

[@theresat8379]

Best hiking video I've ever watched. Somebody is lucky to have you for a friend. Very insightful.

[@johanandree5378]

Man. This video surprised me in the best way. As a hiking video it's absolutely excellent. Overall just well composed. But the casual conversation about experiences and childhood. I wouldn't say I've been in a rut by any means, for all intents I've been both comfortable, healthy and creative lately but there's been somewhat of a feeling of going in circles, or maybe not just reaching far enough in terms of comfort and challenge. And this video really gave me an unexpected boost. Will watch your other content over the coming weeks! Cheers from a very cold Sweden :)

i don't youtube comment but feel compelled. great video, more like this please.

[@haroldgar1]

Totaly enjoyed that, you made the hike interesting and enjoyable. Thank you for that. Happy trails dude.

[@bolkiehippienotbolt7831]

Have you ever seen or heard sasquatch activity, or felt like you're being watched? You are brave and blessed to get out there and see all that beauty 💚

[@charlesrockafellor4200]

I've watched too much Dave Paulides to find that idea appealing. kzbin.infovideos (CanAm Missing 411 project).

Great video. I know that feeling of getting back to the car. Nice trip. Thanks for taking us along.

[@eachtemPublicSectorCrooks]

Thank you for posting, putting in the time to make quality video. You're good at showing off the trail hike. It was an escape thank you thank you man...

[@jamiewojciechowski205]

Fantastic adventure, thanks for taking us along and sharing your adventure. Great job on the video!

I like how, at one point, you're wearing half a jacket. Thermoregulation level: expert

[@mikeh4469]

Just hiked the PCT in 2018, to answer your question at 6:00 it was absolutely mesmerizing. My group of buddies and I yogi'd a ride down to the bottom of the mountain to government camp and got beers, came back up to the lodge, and had a hiker only showing of the shining. needless to say it was a well needed, and earned pitstop after hiking for 3 months on end.

[@asuka7309]

the manic laughter at the end is what ties this entire adventure together

[@BagOfEyebrows]

absolutely loved this; now on my list of hikes to do. Watching in 2021 - you're still inspiring people all these years later, bud! :)

[@toasttea32]

Great adventure. Great sharing. I started watching this 30 mins in, some time after work yesterday, just from my attraction to nature's serenity and the wisdom shared by our host Robby. Today, in the morning, I woke up wanting to finish watching the rest of this mesmerizing adventure. Definitely worth it. Thank you for putting in that good positive work! Also, the very last snippet killed me 😂💨

[@esthers5876]

Robbie congratulations on finishing that epic journey! Amazing!

[@latu8923]

Thanks for taking me along Robby-may God bless you, my friend. That was a very relaxing experience- beautiful country up there. Thanks again for sharing.

[@Dubmajicks]

Leaving your pack can be a crucial mistake and put your life in danger, if some punks thought it would be funny to hide it, then you'd be without food and shelter, be careful and id say for all people reading this, never leave your pack behind, also stay safe, Thousands of people have become missing and disappeared off the face of this earth inside national forest. GREAT video btw, so beautiful.

[@dianapearson1771]

Agree.

[@mogain9258]

As someone who had there pack stolen from the side of a trail in California, while having a look around, I agree. However, it was a very popular area in my case.

[@JordanBuzzy]

always tell others where you plan to be camping or hiking

[@Outdoors49Man]

This brought back so many memories of my solo hike in the Marble Mountain Wilderness, California. Your narration and editing invited me into the experience.

[@CALLOFDOOTY16]

I didn't expect to watch the whole 1 and 1/2 hour video, but I did and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you for making things like this!

[@Outdoors49Man]

I guess I just watched it the third time. You guys have great trips and videos, but this is still my favorite because it helps me recall my one solo hike of about 40 miles. I took more days and gave myself the luxury of a lay over day mid hike to rinse my clothes, swim, and heal. I think I saw 2 people in 5 days. Thank you very much.

[@NewSparky97]

This video came up on my reccomendations about two years ago, height of the pandemic. It introduced me to AdventureArchives, and along with a renewed love for fishing, rekindled my enthusiam for camping! Within 6 months I had already picked up some used gear on REI's online gear market, and started getting out there! So thank you to Robbie, and all the other guys, for getting me out of the city and into the woods 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@skynguyen3342]

Wow, this is a reward for my weekend after a busy working week. So excited!
