PCT 2018 Thru-Hike: Episode 21 - Another Beginning’s END

[@edbrooke75]

It's strange how emotional I got watching this. I have watched these all at work in my tiny office and it gave me a sense of freedom. I was using your hike as my escape. This last video has motivate me to actually do something about it. I just finished planning a week backpacking trip through Yosemite. I may have to do it solo and it will take vacation time but it feels great knowing I can have my own adventure.

[@Matthew-xx2qf]

Yosemite is beautiful, blew my mind! I would love to go back.

[@plewelly]

I also watched the whole journey at work and used it as an escape. I feel you!

[@ninjamittens2802]

do it. It will be the best thing you have ever let yourself do.

[@nosbigibby]

I watched the entire series on my night shift. haha.

[@pssita]

I watched most of these at work in 2 days.

[@lordmarshall5239]

Your vids are fantastic, probably the best trail videos on you tube. The run time is perfect, not too long or short. Your gear info, evolution and reasoning has taught me lessons and helped me buy products and make decisions. Your footage is great,no wasted time with great appropriate sound track. Very efficient. Your knowledge, spiritual acknowledgment and friendliness are fantastic. The most complete videos out there. One of the only people I watch continuously all the way through. Thumbs up every time. Good for you and thanks for the knowledge 😊❤️🇺🇸🔥

[@kingcountry6203]

Ill 2nd that

[@ChristopherGronlund]

Third(ed). Always soooooo good!

[@AFields760]

Couldn't agree more!

[@spartannn3002]

Exactly

[@July4.1776]

Very nice comment. Best thing I read today.

[@annaaroundhere]

Well what am I suppose to watch now???

[@lukasmakarios4998]

Dixie is not done yet! Go to HomemadeWanderlust and see her through grizzly bear country.

[@annaaroundhere]

I love Darwin’s content! Why would you come on here and troll his comments if you think his videos are boring?

[@robertschwartz9234]

It's because James is a hater and never hiked in his life how about you make videos hiking and then tell us how easy it is bud

[@Mars21681]

wow.

[@Flame44]

Right!!?? Went by way too fast! 21 episodes, too short, LOL

[@smeemm]

Mr. Darwin. I'm a 45 year old do nothing. I stumbled onto your vids while searching reviews of Lone Peak 3.5's. After watching that, I decided to watch a few more of your vids. Then I got hooked on your PCT series. It has been one of the most random and inspirational things I've watched. I am not a hiker, never have been. I don't know if it will get me up and out on the trail for a through hike or simply motivate me to walk around the block, but it will get me up. Mentally, physically, emotionally, it will get me up. I'm inspired and moved to move. Your experience, though these videos have been borderline therapeutic. I appreciate your time, effort and grind on the trail. My best to you and Snuggles. I will be checking on you going forward. Get going...

[@hikeride7520]

Sean Early Haha, same here, I stumbled onto Darwin searching for the best way to pack a backpack. Happened to see his PCT videos, and fell in love with them.

[@venicebeachsurfer]

Sean, I was the same way, but I had done a 9 day trip into the Sierras, JMT. I came back a changed man. I was a couch potato, computer dude who was getting lazy and chubby..... now, I go on hikes every weekend (small, a few miles), BUTTTTT - the escape into my own space. I agree that Darwin's videos are awesome and inspire.... but you gotta give it a try. Go to alltrails.com and see if you can find some trails near you... take it slow, easy at first. Find your stride. But yea dude, I applaud you.... get it going!!

[@kaycepeda4711]

A family friend of mine started running marathons in his late 40s. One day he decided to get off the couch and jog exactly 1 block and walk back. That is all it takes to get started!!! You will never regret moving your body even a little bit!

[@oldsambo]

Sean humans were designed to walk not be couch potatoes. Try a few small forest walks and you might get hooked

[@golferpatbug]

Thank You Darwin, literally brought tears to my eyes to see you standing at the monument. I can't imagine the feeling of standing there after 4 months and 2600 miles. I hope you start new videos soon. Now all I have left is to watch Dixie finish the CDT, Congratulations.

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

Thanks for coming along with me Pat! LOTS of New Videos on their way! Hike On, Darwin

[@lesa8145]

I was crying too. So lovely.

[@Gr8LakesCamper]

Thank you for including us on your journey. Even if it's as an observer living his couch dreams through your long walk, you've made this middle-aged man a better person because of it. Again, thank you.

[@Mmmyess]

Caron's lovely poem was the highlight of the entire PCT series.

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

It was truly an Amazing Piece of work. She sent that to me 3 Days before I finished. It means the world to me. Hike On, Darwin

[@dennismerritt778]

Thanks for opportunity to be part of your PCT hike and amazing life adventure! In a very real sense I was hiking with you and living vicariously through your daily VLOGs, which were absolutely excellent in every respect. Well done!

[@ironknucklesbrewbeast6166]

That was totally awesome!! Thank you so much for taking me along on your journey. I have anxiously awaited every one of your weekly installments along your way. I have been off work for the past year due to a back injury and I have anticipated every one of your videos. The scenery, effort and obvious joy of just being there has not been lost on me. While I am sure to miss you I am sure Snuggles will be happy to have you back! :) You have lifted my spirits and put many smiles on my face. Thanks again Darwin.

[@dukemaggiola6036]

Thank you Darwin, appreciate letting me tag along, so much I'd like to say, but the commentary at the end surpassed anything I could muster, inspiring, getting out there, little by little !

[@christiansmith7458]

Awesome job. I am going to save this video for the end of my hike in '21. That letter Snuggles wrote you brought a tear to the eye and will be a motivator. Thank you for the wonderful videos, and I'm looking forward to more "Ask Darwin". Keeping doing you brother, and Thank You again Sir.

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

The letter was actually Written & Read by a good friend of mine, Caron. Hike On, Darwin

[@tc556guy]

It was still a fantastic sentimental message

[@robertwhite7338]

The letter was such a beautiful piece of art!

[@cbmathews0440]

The only thing crazier than you hiking a trail for four months is the realization that I've been watching you hike a trail for 4 months, lol. Congrats man and thanks for sharing!

[@erinmcallister3447]

Congrats! From a PCT'r class of '82, thank you for taking me back. You've inspired me to strap on the pack and take off...this summer i got up in the mtns for a week. it's been too long! Your equipment vids have been extremely helpfull and I own much of the equipment you've talked about. I'm even contemplating rehiking the pct even though I'll be over 60 all due to watching you. Your professionalism is much appreciated. Thanks so much!..Eggman

[@alyishiking]

Snuggle’s closing words really struck a chord with me. When I was in my final week of the AT, so much of what she said was where my head was at. I tried my best to embrace it all, the suck, the amazing moments, the boredom. And when I touched that sign on Katahdin, for just a split second, I was utterly complete. I’m starting a new journey on the PCT this week and I can’t wait to see what it has in store for me. This series was so lovely to watch as I wait for my start date to approach. I can only imagine just how incredible it’s going to be.

[@Logger2008]

Man I'm having a tough time finishing this one. I'm from Washington, and grew up hiking around Rainier, Snoqualmie Pass, Stevens Pass, and North Cascades. I moved to Ohio about a year and a half ago, and watching this episode is making me so homesick.

[@Klangware1985]

Just watched the whole PCT hike and have to admit: This last episode and the words your wife sent you for the last couple of miles made me spend some tears. This is so inspiring and authentic, got no other words. Thanks for sharing, thanks for letting us be part of this!

[@kedevash]

Almost one year ago i badly injured my knee and i have to quit the sport that i love. I was kind of lost during some time thinking what i will do next, i'm only 33. And then i found your channel and your pct journey. Since then i found a new inspiration. I always loved walking, so from now on my goal is to thru hike st jacques de compstelle in europe. Your video are sooo inspiring. You have done what you dreamed. The letter of Snuggle is soo nice. You are a wonderful couple. Thanks hundred times from France. I wish you all the best and more!

[@momittelstaedt4175]

Love your attitude. :)

[@johnoleclair]

Hi Darwin, thank you for including me on your epic journey. I really felt like I was there with you all along the way. The note read by snuggles? at the end was touching. EXCELLENT work from planning through execution.

[@wallytaggart2612]

congrats! despite injuries you made pretty quick work of the PCT!!!

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

I tried...lol Hike On, Darwin

[@varmooo]

Thank you for these PCT videos. Your stamina is unreal, Darwin. You can hop on a bycycle and do a Tour de France with no problems with those legs. To anyone who has hiked PCT's 2650 miles. Extraordinary people. Respect!

[@louishan1591]

This is my first comment on KZbin after years of having this account and I have to say CONGRATULATIONS! I've been watching since you first started out on the PCT and it was inspiring to watch. I teared up a little as you stood on top of the US-CAN border because even though I have never met you in person, I can't help but feel you're a testament to human physical strength, mental fortitude, and humble attitude. Keep it up!

[@melindaadams6520]

Thank you for taking us along with you on the PCT. It was amazing. We'll miss watching you walk the trail as much as you'll miss waking it. Here's to the next one.

[@3_up_moon]

The end of the trail is so bittersweet.

[@kevincoulter2239]

Wow...what an ending to an amazing journey! Thanks for taking the time and effort to allow us to be a part of it. There has been so many positive things said about you and your videos and I Ditto each one. A heartfelt thanks for sharing!!! 🙏 See you on the next one. 😃

[@thechubbyhiker4142]

What a beautiful ending..... I loved her words.

[@mumblic]

Yes very beautiful Is this an original text?? If so many thumbs ups!

[@lisaphikes]

The Chubby Hiker was that Snuggles?

[@thechubbyhiker4142]

Lisa P Hikes I'm not sure.... but I think so. I think those two have an amazing relationship. {{{LoVe}}}

[@tobynewman5450]

truly

[@MichaelRichards983]

I’m transitioning and I’m so inspired by Darwin and the choices he has made to change who he is too. I hope my results are as good as his.

[@life2livealways]

Thank you for taking us along for the hike. Snuggles, the voice over at the end made me cry. So beautiful. Thank you both for being such an inspiration. Happy future trails. Love and Light from VA.

[@karenanddogs6645]

Big congratulations Darwin! Though weary, you still found the wherewithall to open to the beauty of Washington State and allow it to inspire and enhance your walk to the end. Such a blessing to watch your complete hike on youtube. Thanks for taking us all along with you. Now you can take those shoes off, put your feet up and do what you will.

[@connorcrosby5499]

What an inspiration you have been. I'm heading north bound this February on a thru hike on the PCT. Your wisdom and knowledge of the trail will help lead the way.

[@kentardle6421]

Congrats Darwin. Enjoyed every minute following you on the PCT. What's the next adventure?

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

Stay Tuned! Hike On, Darwin

[@MsShitfire]

High Five Darwin! Be sure to take care of that Pass Port!

[@alanbrooke144]

How about something out of the box? I'd love to follow along on a trip down the Te Araroa Trail.

[@swcollector5921]

The Florida Trail!!!

[@BridgesOnBikes]

Absolutely incredible. Thank you Darwin and all the support team for including us on your journey.

[@jonlasiter7154]

Congrats and thank you for taking us along for the ride.

[@NWHomesteader]

Wow! Thank you for making, editing and most of all taking me along, albeit virtually. If only I could turn back the hands of time to a younger, stronger woman, I would have loved to have taken such an adventure. Thank you again!

[@MorettiPyrotechnicsLLC]

Congrats on your achievements Darwin!!! Never missed a single video.

[@duanepegg4136]

I just finished binge-watching all 21 episodes this past weekend. My wife was out of town and as I am hoping to do the PCT sometime in the future (when I retire which should be soon), I was searching KZbin for video's and came across yours. Absolutely loved them and was so inspired. I have sectioned hiked about 80 miles of the Oregon portion of the PCT the past couple of years, and having grown up in at the base of Mt Hood am familiar with a lot of the trail from Timberline to Cascade Locks. I will be mining as much information as I can from your website. I only began hiking and backpacking around 7 years ago at the age of 58 and I feel like I still have a lot to learn. Thanks so much for sharing your hike and giving me inspiration, and maybe a little trepidation, to reach for my goal.

[@markie3394]

❤️ moved to tears when I heard the narrative (thought it was as Snuggles but saw your comment it was a friend Caron)! I, like many, have learned so much from your videos. Now retired with arthritic injuries in feet spine and hips I long to make a similar journey. Lightweight gear is mandatory! Even if it’s just day hikes for now. Others have suggested training my dog. You mentioned in a video best to leave pets at home. After working with him a bit on day trips I mostly agree. It’s a lot more work with him even though he is carrying half the load. Working on assembling the lightest gear possible and expanding my day hikes. I’ve heard of others with disabilities/physical challenges making these thru-hikes. Maybe this could be a future video topic. Until then, hope to see you on the trail!

[@josephmayes8302]

Thanks for taking us along, brother. It was truly a blast.

[@juwright1949]

Absolutely Outstanding!! What an adventure and thank you for taking us along.

[@jamesshields1969]

Brother I’m so happy for you and your completion of the PCT. what an achievement!!! Thank you for taking the time to respond to my emails, be blessed my friend

[@clivenewton7609]

Words just don’t cut it my friend! But anyway, very well done and congratulations. Thank you so much for all the extra time and effort it must have taken to bring us your great video diary and I hope you added in all the extra miles it must have taken from setting up one shot with the camera to retrieving it again! Kind regards, Clive from across the pond.

[@mr.buddy.morris]

Thanks for bringing me along, Darwin. Your “realness” truly comes through in these videos. It has been great to get to know Darwin, the thru-hiker, but even better to get to know Darwin, the man. Congrats my friend, you made it :)

[@omgwtfbbqlol33]

Congratulations! The whole series was amazing to watch. Thank you so much for all the amazing and inspiring videos!

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

Thanks You! Hike On, Darwin

[@musicislife7771]

What a pleasure, Darwin! Watching these has been wonderful. Living vicariously through these videos inspired me to grab a pack and go out myself. Thank you! If you're ever back in the Evansville area, I'll send you a beer!

[@jamiepizz]

What an amazing journey! Thank you for taking us with you! I can't wait to see what's next. Maybe come back to Arizona and complete the AZT someday?

[@donabele1243]

THANK YOU for four months of adventure by proxy!!! Looking forward to your next adventure that we tag along with... Be well, Don

[@nobodyhikes]

Well done. Your channel helped get me to started with hiking this year. Now all I want to do is hike. Absolutely looking forward to your next adventure.

[@kenhealey5045]

I live on the other side of the world in a small country town in northern NSW Australia. I first heard about the PTC in 2017. Been studying it every week ever since. Now I have just finished watching every Episode of your amazing journey. Your camera work just got heaps better as time went on. The angles of the shots. The backgrounds. The foregrounds. The choice of music did your work wonders. You must have covered an extra hundred miles when setting up the camera, walking back, turning around and walking back past the camera. Then the editing. Brilliant effort. I just loved every video. It has inspired me to keep the dream alive and see it come to fruition. I will be turning 66 on trail in 2020. Now for the visa.

[@leeniedee2049]

Such an amazing journey to follow and I'm happy and sad to see it finalized. What an accomplishment! Thank you for taking us along with you.

[@barbmcnaughton6119]

I got tears in my eyeswhen you climbed up on the markers! Wonderful videos..so well filmed.....can’t wait to watch your next adventure. Snuggles words were beautiful!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Wow amazing last video Darwin. Really love the video quality. The poem at the end with your flashback pics and videos - made me cry! So beautiful. Congrats! - Chica

[@MarkFugel]

As others have said already, your hike was an escape for us mere mortals who follow you and hope to get out there some day. You inspire us tremendously...thanks so much for sharing your great adventure. Take some rest time and savor the achievement. Kudos brother. You are.....THE MAN!

[@sketchart2616]

Hi Darwin, congratulations on completing the PCT. I have really enjoyed every minute of following you on your adventure. I look forward to seeing what your next adventure might bring.

[@Darignobullseye]

Hard to believe it is over. It's been a great time coming with you on your journey. Some amazing scenery. Especially these last miles. Thank you much. Thanks snuggles for her support. Fantastic job completing the PCT!!:-) Take care.

[@xxgg]

Congratulation on your life time memory.

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

Thanks! Hike On, Darwin

[@romanfore7956]

Darwin, Thanks so much for sharing you journey with us. It was really great riding along with you. Your trek gave my wife and I something to look forward to each week. We are happy for you that you were able to have such an amazing experience. Thanks again sir!

[@loripavlu9323]

Congratulations from Taos! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Be safe!

[@bradleyborst942]

Wonderful story Darwin. My wife and I were hiking the northern most section of the PCT (Rainy Pass to Canada and back) within days of your finishing. I wish we had met you on the trail to say thank you for your work, and for sharing your journey with us over the past few months. Well done!

[@bertman4]

Congrats! Glad you made it before the big fire closure near the terminus. Really interested to hear about the new gear that you swapped in. Looking forward to the gear video.

[@reganrobin]

Hello Darwin. If there were just an option to hit a bigger thumbs up, I’d select it. If I could just watch your journey one more time without the knowing, without the emotions, without the depressing thought your adventure has come to an end. If I could just experience it one more. I’d almost give anything for it. Thank you in allowing me to follow along. To watch your “normal” gear reviews and simple hikes to then watch this long trek. What a great time I’ve had. Thank you!! I really appreciate it.

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

The BEST is yet to come Regan... Stay Tuned! Hike On, Darwin

[@reganrobin]

Darwin onthetrail looking forward to it!

[@davidcheever665]

Amazing! I've watched every episode as if we were all walking beside you - that's special - thank you!!! Part of me had hoped a filmed act of you meeting up w/Snuggles - but then that is your life, not our life. Congrats and thanks again for taking us the whole way!

[@JohnDoe-lp7ge]

My wife and I are planning a 10 day hike of the Appalachian Trail because of you! Heck, after watching a few of your videos we've became obsessed with hiking. Your video production is beautiful, but it doesn't feel overdone. We've been excitedly waiting for each episode as they've come out!! I don't know what we'll do now, exception wait for another season of Darwin onthetrail. :) Thanks again for all the love you put into it.

[@chipmunklukeskywalker6914]

Could you order the Pacific crest trail, Appalachian trail, and the continental divide trail in order from favorite to least favorite and pls don't say they are all great because I know that... But I just want to know your favorite based on scenery and views. I may try one when i'm older. LOVED the series thank you for filming.

[@th1s_just_in]

First I want to say that I have watched all 21 episodes of this segment. Second this series of PCT episodes has been very inspirational. Coming from someone that has lived in the PNW my whole life, I've never been able to experience this side of it. I've know how beautiful Washington can be compared to the rest of the Country. Thank you for inspiring people to go out and explore their backyard. Hope you and Snuggles enjoy a lot of Zeros together. Cant wait for the next adventure. Thanks so Much Darwin

[@dane.2079]

Well done. Thank you for sharing your journey with everyone. The videos have been amazing.

[@ryanmcdonald6292]

the scenery gets me every time - there's nothing like it here in Australia. Thanks for capturing so much of it in all the different conditions. I'll be heading on back to episode 1 and doing it all over again.Congratulations on completing the PCT, and thankyou Darwin!

[@DebCampos]

Congratulations Darwin, may your journey continue onto bigger experiences. You're an inspiration. ❤️🌳❤️🌳🤗🤗🌄🌄

[@methodmanatthea.t.9307]

The end off your hikes always have an element of sadness mixed with what the future shall bring. As you said, its an honor to be allowed to hike these trails!

[@StarMountainHikes]

Awesome series. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I subbed a few episodes back & gave this one a thumbs up. Well done.

[@jtvloggin]

Just want to take the time to say thank you so much. My wife and I recently moved to Oregon, and while it’s not much, we recently completed three one night backpacking trips. We’ve seen Goat Rocks, Jefferson Park and Part of the Timberline trail. We constantly use your phrases like “embrace the suck” and are totally inspired by your journey. Hoping for some 2-3 night trips and seeing where we can go from there. Thanks again, and can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@gumbi1972]

Now we need the video of you getting the logo tattooed on you, that is the final closure!!

[@mrspeeddemon727]

Thanks for letting my wife and I come with you on this amazing journey via series of videos Darwin. Looking forward to the next adventure.

[@TheJenofanes]

Gracias por los videos, ha sido un placer seguirte! great job!

[@romeodambrosio9689]

The end of a thru hike is always bitter sweet. Congratulations on this awesome accomplishment.

Congrats that WAS AWESOME 📸👍👍👍👍📸

[@legalizeranch7579]

Darwin you are an absolute unit! Great series, loved every second

[@jsweet007]

Awesome! Thank you for all the Videos!

[@johnacord5664]

Congratulations. Someone should award you the Medal of Freedom. You and Snuggles have gone above and beyond in inspiring a lot of people.

[@ToddChilton]

Beautiful. Congratulations.

[@MrDara1952]

Two weeks! 20 Episodes! Sharing your journey in these wonderful videos! THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@cjosiah]

what an absolute stud. nice job! loved taking this journey with you

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

Thanks for coming along! Hike On, Darwin

[@nathanwiedenhoft7328]

Thanks for taking me with you! What an awesome adventure.

[@RandomButtonPusher]

Congrats on your finish. This old backpacker really looked forward to each episode. I did a double-take when you were shaking out your shoe, and then I realized your Dirty Girl gaiters didn't make it to the terminus. They put up quite the fight, though.

[@noyopacific]

Interesting stop in Holden Village. A friend of mine, Larry may have been one of the older staff people you met. The village was a copper mining town from 1937 to 1957 which was only accessible by boat. The Lutheran church acquired the site after the mine closed for $1. They have restored the buildings for use as a retreat center that opened in 1962.

[@willardwooten9582]

Congrats , I' m glad my state was kind to you and you enjoyed your time in Washington. Hopefully you'll come back and enjoy other parts of our state. But doesn't taking the ferry take away the continuous footsteps on the PCT for completion??

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

Alot of people hike the trail with different goals in mind. Some hike for "Continuous Foot Path", some just "Hike from Mexico to Canada", and others hike "Every Available PCT Mile", which is what I set out to do. I hiked Every Mile of the PCT that was open for me to hike per the PCTA. Hike On, Darwin

[@willardwooten9582]

Oh I thought everybody had to walk around all closers , my bad. Even though I can do my state , I would have skipped the Sierras because of lack of air at age 66. Yesterday was my niece Kim G (SOL) 10 anniversary of completing the PCT. Keep up the good work. Oh come back if you ever need a guide, my niece and her boyfriend work for Whitaker Mountaineering in Ashland.

[@fargin2778]

It's been a journey, thanks for inviting us.

[@AwesomeNossum86]

If that majestic beard could talk... Congrats!

[@domyager8082]

Man, I've actually been dreading this day. I've watched every episode weekly from the beginning and am feeling lost knowing you've finished this journey. Thanks for taking us on this adventure mate!

[@craig19fox]

....just binge watched all 21 episodes today, thank you for sharing such an amazing story with us, nothing short of inspirational. Getting up and out there is something I've been yearning for, for so long, watching you has given me what I needed to start. Thank you. Please keep the videos coming, wishing you and your nothing but the best.......

[@edisonguineywhite5804]

Love your work Darwin, as a 17 year old Australian, you have truly inspired me to gather up my supplies and to organise a visa. I will be tackling this trail in the coming years once my schooling is completed, and i have only you to thank for that. Hike on brother ❤

[@jameswalton8873]

Totally amazing Darwin, thank you!!! Your videos are so very informative and inspiring. This series of videos has helped me prepare mentally and spiritually for my first JMT thru-hike this year with my son. Peace to you my friend.

[@auswalker7865]

Great effort Darwin. An excellently put together series of videos - easy to follow and easy listening. Great choice of music. Your stories help inspire me to keep hiking past my 73 years with the lessons you have taught us. Thankyou from Australia.

[@Starburst9821]

I loved watching the Holden portion of this, I'm on staff there and arrived about a month after you passed through. It was awesome to have thru-hikers come through our community and share their trail stories.

Congratulations, thank you for taking me along! What an amazing journey. K. Gatewood

[@robr1897]

It's been great watching your adventure. I deployed to Afghanistan in March, and your hike has helped me stay connected to our big beautiful country from very far away. Thanks for sharing!

[@cybrarian9]

MAZEL TOV (CONGRATULATIONS)!!! and all the glory and honor of having completed the PCT hike Darwin!!! Your videos are inspirational, well-produced, and entertaining. I followed your every move on this hike with these videos and was almost as excited as you to see you finally finish this amazing 2nd trail of the Triple Header, Hat Trick, or whatever you "Crazy Hike Trash" call doing the AT, PCT, and CDT. May your strength and vitality last you long in your years so that you can walk, run, and bicycle every inch of the Earth that makes you curious to see more of it. Be safe, stay strong, and keep the faith! P.S. Who wrote that poem at the end of this video? It's excellent and I'm sure one you can easily relate to.

[@robertestes3668]

I followed your journey all the way, and really felt like I was there with you. Congrats for this monumental achievement. You are an inspiration to all.

[@alortiz6387]

Darwin, Thank you for letting me come along and have a peek into your adventure. Safe travels

[@zarlydoug]

Holy smokes man you did it! I was tearing up at the end. Amazing job, thanks for sharing everything you accomplished.

[@genewest7690]

thank you so much Darwin for taking us along for your adventure! Congratulations and well done... peace to you and snuggles

[@linabing9181]

All episodes in one sitting. Thank you for these films.

[@andyw5342]

What a source of entertainment and inspiration this series of videos have brought me during this confining time in our lives. Very happy i clicked play on that very first video and transported on this virtual hike of the PCT until the very end. Thank you so much for this!!!
