This made me cry!!! What a beautiful job you've done to capture the true essence of the PCT. - Beetle Juice (PCT '23)

[@jacintapink]

Awh! It definitely makes me emotional too, i'm glad you could see it in the way I did! Thanks for watching 💜

This is such a wholesome and beautiful capture of your journey!! What an incredible trip, and despite all the hurdles you encountered it’s looks like you all made the most of every opportunity 😍

[@jacintapink]

Thank you for the beautiful comment! I'm glad you enjoyed watching our journey 🥰

[@Jcozz]

Of all the PCT films I have watched this one captures what I imagine as the funnest approach to the PCT. The people! Don’t get me wrong, I totally get folks that want to walk every last inch of the trail, or have more solitude ect, but you guys just rocked it. Thank you for creating this wonderful film.

[@jacintapink]

I appreciate this! This was literally how it felt out there for us, we had the best time and just wanted to be all together 😊

Shout out to Hot Mess. I was on my second attempt at a Thru Hike in 2022 after having to abandon my 2021 attempt and rolled my ankle two miles out of camp Cleef. Thought I was done but kept going. I loved the quote about being in a partnership is all about a compromise. Some of us who go out into the woods to hear nature and have solitude do not enjoy being bombarded by a trail family of 14 at every stop and campsite. Think about trail compromises.

[@jacintapink]

Hot Mess was a trooper 💪 We were aware that we were a big group, so we were always respectful in camp.

[@MikeRiggsAdventures]

Great video! It was good to see your 2023 PCT journey it looks like you had a great time! I started the PCT in late March and did 1,170 after skipping the Sierra. You have me motivated and I am going to give it another shot starting in Campo again NOBO in 2024 in March.

[@jacintapink]

Aw this is so lovely to hear! I wish I could be getting back out there again next year! Have the best time ☺

[@thegreenertwo]

Absolutely incredible 😍 Makes us want to tackle that hike too! So epic!

[@jacintapink]

Thanks for watching you two! 🥰

[@thomasdecarlo8543]

You made me shed a tear Or two … not as easy thing to do … thank you

[@svennnn_]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!!! Reliving all the memories of '22❤❤❤

[@jacintapink]

Thanks for watching! I feel like if I didn't have this, it would definitely feel like a dream!

[@Phil_P-Cairns_Australia]

Jacinta, What a great way to share your amazing experience! Beautifully shot, edited and narrated. Congratulations on the achievement itself and the doco to capture it for others.

[@jacintapink]

Thanks Phil! Thanks for watching! I appreciate the kind words 😊

[@BackpackingVideos]

Love the cinematography and storytelling! I'm curious--what camera did you shoot with?

[@jacintapink]

Thank you 🙂 I used a Sony A7IV, with a 24-70.

[@grantthepilgrim]

Fantastic video! Love seeing young Aussies getting out on trail.

[@jacintapink]

Thanks for watching Grant! Totally worth flying across the world for!

[@kevinstarski1598]

Seems like no matter what pct video I watch, there's always record snow levels there lol

[@ellaokeeffe1491]

This gave me goosebumps, you have captured that so well holy moly !!

[@jacintapink]

Naw! I'm glad you felt the emotions 😊

[@richardinjapan4578]

A very enjoyable video! So what's lefty The Sierra and Stehekin to the border?

[@jacintapink]

Thanks for watching! Yep + a section in Oregon where we skipped to go to Oregon Coast Trail. Planning on doing the Sierra in 2025 😁

[@glenloewen7507]

Awesome video you’ve put together. I dream of doing the PCT, although my years my be growing beyond it.

[@jacintapink]

Thank you for watching! Give it a go, you would be amazed by of all the different walks of life out there!

[@Andy-Mesa]

So weird! My trail name was also Hot Mess and I started only a couple weeks earlier. I also flipped and did some of the OCT. It’s funny that I never ran into you all.

[@jacintapink]

Oh wow! we must have been so close but so far away haha

[@purplewindpct]

This was great!!!

[@jacintapink]

Thank you for taking the time to watch! 😊

[@Mikehastohike]

Great video of your hike. I live just outside of Burney and shuttled many a hiker in and out of town this year. Waiting on confirmation for my 2024 Mar 8th start date.

[@jacintapink]

Thank you for watching and being a trail angel! 😊 My fingers are crossed for you, it will be the best thing you ever do.

[@Mikehastohike]

@@jacintapink It is official Mar 8th 2024 I will begin my journey!!

[@denisestarr2314]

Looks like so much fun . I want to hike it . But I don't want to do it alone. And I have 2 dogs , . I am going to try section.hikeing it in 2 years .

[@jacintapink]

Do whatever you can to get out there, it will be the best thing you ever do! If you start solo, you will 100% meet people straight away if you going NOBO. Don't let that deteir you 🙂

[@hannahknilands8725]

Love the video ❤ - can you do a gear video ? I am also north Queensland and doing the PCT in 2025. Would love you know what you took

[@jacintapink]

A fellow FNQer! I'm not planning on doing a gear video as there are many out there, but Wild Earth will be posting a blog post I wrote about my gear 😊 I'm excited for you to get out there!!

[@nicolesmith226]

There was no escaping the snow!!

[@jacintapink]

Nope! We definitely tried to escape it 😂

[@NVIK5]

Why didn’t you go back and finish the Sierra?

[@jacintapink]

Mentally partner was over walking by the time we were at the Northern Terminus and we go as a team. But I will be back in 2025 to do the Seirra! 😁

[@elizabethtipton4193]

I really loved how you put this all together. How many miles would you say you hiked?

[@Henning_Rech]

Almost Thru? - it's more like just 2/3 of the trail...

[@jacintapink]

Bothers you more then me 😂
