Today on Hiking Dancer: RR and Lil’ Chap woke up sick. They hiked 19 miles. RR thanked her subscribers for helping her pass 10,000 in number. The question of to do or to not do music was answered. Definitely answered 😎. Chap made up a song while sitting on tyvek. We learned that some people are stupid and have no regard for private property. We are reminded that stupid people make life hard for smart people. We got to watch perseverance in action. I was reminded of why I’ve followed and loved this channel from its inception.

[@DeRocco21]

watching your videos in x2 speed makes me jealous at how fast you hike

[@ottomatic8097]

Outdoor sounds and bird singing is enough music, imho.

[@wendypelaez9305]

I love how you have arranged your videos so they show up with my morning coffee.

[@porterbrass]

Juliane we love you and your videos. Always so honest and interesting and funny. With or without the music, just keep being you!

[@mars4697]

I am watching this video while I lay in bed unable to breathe, coughing up so much phlegm, and exhausted. When you said you had to walk 16 miles while feeling like this my heart broke for you! 😂😂😂so impressed!

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

It is impressive. They ended up doing 19 miles!

[@mars4697]

@@jimmyjenkins9240 wow! Humans are amazing!

[@wio2189]

When I got thru in '22 Mike was there and fed us watermelon and some chicken fajitas. He's a super cool guy. Happy trails!

[@RayJackson-ty2vt]

No thanks necessary. You allow us to live vicariously and we love your videos. Thank you.

[@magicaltrails]

Hiking is hard and being sick is hard--doing them simultaneously really sucks!! So sorry! Hope you are better soon!

[@olddudeonthetrail72]

Hee hee, I like the positive potato. Music, no music, I don't care. I like that your videos show a variety of stuff, much of it mundane, because, of course, a lot of a hike is pretty mundane. Ohhhhh, look, Hammer!! A fellow Pennsylvanian. Go, Hammer! I am following his thru hike also.

[@charliefarrar4012]

Thanks!

[@laurievierheller6055]

Feel better!

[@Rehsmj2012]

Congratulations on 10K. I do remember you at a couple thousand. I see it doubling in the next year. You are doing awesome.

[@brent_f]

Congratulations on 10K subscribers! I’ve been a follower since video 3.

[@KayakBuff]

You guys are awesome 👍

[@Jan.harvey]

10,000 of us love you.

[@jorgemiguel1040]

The very dry air can make you feel sick, but also all the allergens from the spring flowers ect.

[@itsjustjoelle6640]

I've been following you since day 13 of your AT hike. Music, No Music... it's your channel, people are so funny what they complain about! LOL. Hope you feel better, and stay safe.

[@trexinvert]

Hey HKdancer, I really enjoy watching both u and chaps video postings. Currently, you both do it so regularly, and each are very personally unique. Don't tell chappie, but I like your editorial and storytelling more.

[@susietopspin]

19 miles when sick is crazy. You are amazing. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️

[@ericd6099]

I decided to watch Lil' chap first and then I watch your videos to see what I missed.😅 I enjoy both very much and every morning look forward to the new videos.

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

Your videos are great just as they are. One thing I have learned about life you can’t please everybody! This is your hike and I’m glad you chose to share it with us. So sorry y’all got sick hopefully after the zero you will feel better.

[@wildeone1636]

You're a dancer. Of course music is meaningful to you.

[@hamrammr1]

Right there is an impressive distance to hike when youre not feeling too good right there.

[@davidmulholland8319]

So sorry you're ill ... was hoping you would enjoy a zero more in Idyllwild - it's a great town.

[@BareYoga]

I saw when Kelly Hays Hikes and her friend James left Mikes Place a couple years ago, they got sick too. I hope you heal soon!

[@Lewisfam7]

Congrats on 10k! I started following you just a few days into your AT hike and love that you've continued your channel. You are a joy to watch and I learn a lot from you. Rest up and feel better. Also music/no music... I'm good either way. Hike on!

[@jackcakeblack]

Great views and some greenery, don't trust those cisterns, go with running water source. Take care.!

[@michaelbutler4961]

Sorry to hear you and LilChap are not feeling well. We could hear it in your voice. I'm sure the heat and hills make it rough when feeling ill. Who doesn't like music... Hey, you are a dancer and music is part of you. Keep doing what you are doing. The only time I find it annoying is when some bloggers talk softly and then crank the music so loud it blows the earbuds out of my head LOL. Praying you all feel better soon. Hike~~On~~>

[@musingwithreba9667]

I'm sorry you're both sick, that sucks! And it also sucks that the hiker oasis is now closed because of stupid people 🤬 Some people just ruin it for everyone 🙄 I hope you're both feeling better now.

[@-bald-head]

Ich wünsche dir gute Besserung. 🤞

[@Dan__S]

Thank you both for your videos! Your adventures are starting my day

[@romanakalova8460]

Saying it like it is! ;) I appreciate your honesty and love following your journey, your jokes/sarcasm, all of it. Thank you so much for sharing! _/\_

[@johnalden5821]

As a subscriber, I'm kinda likin' dis here channel right dere. You should have lots more of us before too long. As for the music, you seem to be a good show runner. When it's there, it seems completely appropriate, and when there isn't any music, there is enough going on, either with your narration or just unfolding events, that I don't miss the music. So, it's a good mix. Whatever seems natural seems to work.

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you so much

[@rodneyevans5525]

I just like how a lady from another state talk. Oppps country im learning with you aa you hike what ever you put out there

[@wanderingwithbob2472]

Sorry about being sick. You smile even when you don't feel good. I know these are delayed, so I hope you 2 are all better now. Happy Trails...

[@sagittarius3363]

lol Lil Rappin' Chap !

[@cathysiwek8075]

Marty Robbins sings cool water, 😅 I think you will get a kick out of that song!!!

[@stone8654]

I started watching you and subscribed to your channel.. when you made friends with Cheeseball 👟😎👍🏼

[@franksmiley8485]

Just keep being you! It’s an honor to be a subscriber!

[@robertkeller5930]

I always carried 6 quarts of water along with my pack, fire shelter, gas for the sawyers, file, food, clothing, poncho, etc while cutting fireline with the Silver State Hotshots.

[@hikingdancer]

Nice

[@philipyoho8115]

Sorry you're both feeling sick! Must have been from over exposure to fresh air while you were Cowboy Camping!! ;p ;p Good choice to nero/zero in Idyllwild. Makes me wonder how close I was to missing you all on the trail or in Idyllwild. Saturday (4/13), I hiked from the Cedar Springs Trail to the PCT and then out the Spitler Peak Trail. I met 3 PCTers heading down the Spitler Peak Trail and ended up giving them a ride into Idyllwild. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the zeros as much as others are enjoying your journey. Safe travels and Happy Trails.

[@stevenvarner9806]

By the way, just a warning: In the state of California fixed blade knives like a neck knife must never be concealed. So, you need to make sure it's always visible, not under your shirt.

[@user-cu4je7vm5c]

I’m loving your channel, and it’s you and your personality that make it fun!! You do you, music or not I’ll be watching! At least until I start my PCT hike on 4/27 👊❤️

[@CapmanBe]

Félicitations pour tes 10000 abonnés 🎉 soignez vous bien tous les deux et merci pour la ballade ❤

[@ronr3656]

I prefer not to have the music but the amount you have is fine. I saw another channel that had more music than not and that was too much. Yours is.....just right. Hope you feel better.

[@pamkowal7464]

I prefer videos with no music, only because most of the music backgrounds are inserted into the video at too high of a volume. It hurts my ears and I have to fiddle around to adjust my volume back and forth to accommodate the sound levels of both the speaker’s voice AND the music. I don’t know if music options are limited, but I’ve never heard classical background music that would accentuate the beauty of the scenery. Aaron Copeland music, for instance, would be lovely as a backdrop to the stunning vistas, or the Grand Canyon Suite by Ferde Grofe.

[@MalFunktion1]

Congrats onhitting 10k.

[@12scoleman]

Wonder if it is allergies from cowboy camping that one night?!? Hope y'all feel better soon!!! ❤ you are such a bad ass

[@judithpearson3968]

Julianne, You're a better woman than I am. I don't think I could hike 19 miles if I was sick. I do understand why you did it, but darn. The scenery was great, really pretty. I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. You and Li'l Chap are doing really well. Hang in there. I hope you got to feeling a little better, at least. Did you make it to PVC in time for breakfast? Take care of each other. Try to hike close so you can keep an eye on each other since you're both not feeling well. Stay safe. See you in the morning.

[@CindyTaylor-mr4wf]

Hoping you guys are better now!!! You know - there’s a reason you have 10,000 subscribers - keep doing what you’re doing! You’re amazing!!! I watch both you and lil’ chap - I love it - you both give a different perspective - you guys are a great team!!!

[@luisahirsch5654]

Aww..so sorry to hear that you and Lil Chap got sick! Hopefully you guys are feeling better now and that the cold was short lived! Girl, you are a trooper for hiking those 19 miles while sick. Love your videos and love it both ways with or without music and this channel is for you to document your memories so do it however your heart desires! Wow! Congratulations on hitting 10K subscribers! 😊

[@kennethwedig6091]

I remember that water source well. I too made the mistake of carrying my entire backpack down to it. After that I would leave my backpack at the top and just take a ditty bag with my water bottles, filter, and a snack down. With regard to the closed oasis, I recall that she didn't feel safe continuing to stay there due to meth addicts breaking in; nothing to do with hikers.

[@KaiExploresLife]

You are super resilient! I hope your upcoming 0 days helps in your recovery. 😊

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

I hope you are feeling better now.

[@vanessawatson1768]

Do you chick and what you want to do with music or not. I love watching you and your accent and words. Thanks for filming your journey. So sorry you are sick, thinking of you.

[@cjengland2365]

Nice that you help other by giving out their channel's name. Hope you and Lil'Chap feel better soon.

[@johnc6228]

You have such a great attitude about hiking. I hope you're feeling better by the next video.

[@johnparis9960]

Thanks for letting us come along.

[@glaw5629]

I hope you feel better!!

[@jamesanderson3402]

The earlier you get antibiotics it will make it less severe!!!!

[@nam_hn]

Wising you and Chap safe and enjoyable hikes.

[@rodneyevans5525]

I like the 2 cents if they like and don't have nice to say don't say it or text or leave a comment

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

I’m hoping you are much better now. I cannot imagine having to hike sick. You are extremely well conditioned of course. Most people couldn’t do it. Take care.

[@aadmonk]

I hope you two get felling better soon.

[@jerryparnell1064]

Enjoying the videos.. yall are amazing.. i am so sorry y'all are sick.. Best wishes an prayers yall feel better. Get some rest until yall are better. Thanks for the nice videos.👣👣🏕🙏

[@lindaf6716]

I followed you AND Heard Hiker in ‘22 and was very excited you both are doing the PCT. The I love your perspective of the hike and the views are incredible!, Lil Chap is doing a great job on his videos too! Hope you both feel better soon.

[@saskhiker3935]

Sick and still making KZbin Content for us. Take care of yourselves so you can fight this cold and then crush the miles.

[@umreeh]

Did you ever meet "Mike"? Glad you didn't cowboy camp. Worried your sickness would get worse.

[@kristymoore7052]

You deserve 10,000 and well beyond. You’re good at this. Thanks for sharing and entertaining us all. I am from near Yosemite and fro your AT through hike and then my visiting the AT, trail days last year and a teeny silver of the AT for a few days, I really want to hike it. I e done many, many short sections of the PCT over the years, but never the desert part. You make it look so easy. Really appreciate your content.

[@somerandomguy4149]

What is up with everyone geting sick. People on the A.T im following are geting sick as well 🤯😵‍💫 what is going on this year with sickness. And congratulations on 10 thousand i know i been following you for some time now big fan here. And last time i checked its your channel just like i have my channel and im totally random. You do what makes you feel good and we just watch if they dont like it. well thats not on you. I just keep it real. Just like you should. I personally enjoy everything you do. And this PCT adventure yourdoing is blowing my its just wide open spaces and dry 😮🤯

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

I hope you both feel better 👣🤣

[@memathews]

Seems the annoyances of long distance hiking aren't much different than creative content development. Congrats on 10k subs and on your hiking progress. Yes, it's so sad that Mary's oasis is no longer viable, I loved the literary aspects and self reflection she hosted.

[@user-lp5tt9sk3q]

Masochist learned to hike and tent SOLO. He did the triple crown and got Norovirus twice by socializing. He is doing the Atlantic to Pacific right now and being very careful. He lost 10 days each time from being sick. Be careful!!

[@leowolf9258]

Hey Roadrunner: You probably need to get you a neti pot, this will help with cleaning out your sinus…. Just a thought. You can find them in the pharmacy area, it’s like a spray bottle that you squirt your nose. Leo Wolf

[@marklanders630]

I don't have any problems with music unless its that one guy who adds random tracks of generic heavy metal over beautiful vistas and panos.😁

[@worthtech3249]

sick but they definitely have their trail legs in.....have a nice zero....

[@rondawil2845]

Be careful,,covid is still around.. You sound bad... definitely breathing differently..hopefully it's a.cold Feel better soon. Prayers and safe trails

[@TheGrandmateresa]

I really am enjoying your daily updates. Good for you hiking almost 20 miles not feeling good - you are amazing. Living vicariously through you as I am 76 and too old (and out of shape) to even think of hiking 20 miles in a day, even just for one day!! Can't wait for next episode.

[@philipthompson5796]

How is your ankle that you twisted the first day?

[@JulieBurtoft-ve1zd]

I love when you add music. But whatever you do, I’m a fan and love your videos. Be safe!

[@diannadarling699]

Congrats on 10k ! Really enjoy your channel… especially the daily trail vlogs Edit: I really enjoy the music… cheers

[@anitamckenzie4895]

We Love you videos, personally and music!! Hope you feel better soon. Both of you!!

[@mrslauri60]

I like the music 😊

[@chrisnorris76]

I am watching wondering how you are hiking when sick! Then you start talking and I want to insist you take a nap!!

[@KevinRStrauss]

Congrats on the subscriber milestone! OMG, I just posted a fastpacking video and my first edit had NO music. Then I thought just like you, movies ALWAYS have background music, so I re-editted and added music to the background. It definitely adds time and can completely changes the mood/feel of the video-story. Get well soon! ☮❤🤝

[@sandra4710]

Maybe take a covid test?? If positive, you can take an antiviral med and you will feel better quickly! I'm sorry you are not feeling well.

[@expatadventureturkey9324]

Great content, music or not it’s all good 🤙🏽 you do you and will enjoy our escape from the. Matrix 😉

[@hikingmovie]

You are right all movies have music, most ads too. You won’t find a travel show or National Geographic movie without music. Music is very powerful and emotional. I rarely chose to listen to music by itself, but it definitely enhances movies and videos.

[@jamesanderson3402]

Dear it's bad get antibiotics now !!!!!

[@SkepticalRaptor]

It must be a pain to add music while editing on your iPhone with weak connections. Music or no music, I’m OK.

[@bigdog2024]

Go a bit slower and maybe you’ll shake it off in 24 hours, looks like you both are otherwise healthy. It could also be a bit of allergies as everything is blooming none of which grow where you two live. Tough times don’t last but tough people like you two do! 5000 feet is also getting to the zone where altitude matters with your 02 saturation which makes you more tired so lots of things working on you.

[@lizwallace273]

So funny you should mention the anti-music comments. I have seen those comments on other people's videos. Rude! I like music, but I also don't really notice if it's not there. Mainly I love seeing the trail, the views and the campsites. Your videos make me feel like I'm there with you. (well, except for the heat, sore feet, and the cactus stickers!)

[@rodneyevans5525]

I love to watch the channel. With music or not. When you load what ever you got todo get a video. As you do it you feel free add back grade music any time you want roadrunner

[@robertkeller5930]

Placing a camera and then showing walking toward it and past it is my peeve. It’s a worthless thing to watch. I don’t know why so many people think its quality footage.

[@hikingdancer]

Lots of people enjoy the B roll. It’s actually a pain to video it, but I get a lot of positive feedback on those. I’m sorry they bother you. I try 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@otheremail123]

:)

[@elizabethcoates3916]

You do you Roadrunner I love the music but I watch you both for your adventures and if music is added that’s great too. Keep on keepin on and I hope you both feel better soon.

[@stevenvarner9806]

It's not great having a cold at the same time you really need to be well hydrated. Hope you two feel batter. Another vlogger got a cold in this same area and went to stay in Palm Springs for a while.

[@sherrymoore5740]

Girl it's your channel, do what you want.
