That view of Mt San Jacinto is GORGEOUS!!

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

Spam is a great product to have on hand when power outages are predicted, such as after hurricanes here in Louisiana. I trust what is in it more than what is in any particular brand of hot dog. I have friends from Hawaii that have made some very delicious meals using it. It’s a very popular food there. It can be hard to dislodge from its can. Next time poke a small hole into the bottom of the can using the point of the knife. It’ll slip right out. Ha

Also introduced to the islands by US GIs so if it's good enough for US vets...

[@MaxZomboni]

I would rather go hungry then eat Spam.

I am living my dream watching your journey and being a Californian born and raised individual who still lives in California, I have seen and been to the mountains so many times, there’s 4 mountain ranges in our area, I live by the Santa Ana’s which are the smallest, then San Jacinto where your currently at and across the I-10 is San Gorgonio where Big Bear is, which is currently full of snow and then as you decend hopefully you be able to camp near Lake Silverwood, then the San Gabriel’s where Mount Baldy and Wrigthwood are is on the other side of the I-15. Enjoy the beautiful mountains and the hummingbirds which are migrating should be in full force as the weather warms up😉throughly enjoying the ride🤗

[@TheGrandmateresa]

Thanks for sharing, you make me exhausted just watching. You never seem tired even when you arrive at camp and set up - always bright and cheerful and full of energy! I would flop down and take a nap. Thoroughly enjoying your journey!!

[@katfish000]

Great video. Love your personality 😊

[@SouthCoastRich]

I love the song 'San Jacinto' by Peter Gabriel. Greetings and good luck from a sunny but rather cool Southampton, on the south coast of England, UK. 👍

[@JamesOfEarth]

Your knowledge of Spam being the supreme trail meat has earned you my sub.

[@sharrison3974]

Really enjoying watching your PCT adventure. This is to buy you and Lil Chap a beer during your next zero.

[@richardross7219]

SPAM is best fried crispy. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick

[@nam_hn]

It was fun to watch! Thank you!

[@janettackett7659]

Thanks for sharing the elevation that's something I have always wondered about when I watch people videos. Happy hiking!

[@MJG70]

Very much enjoying your adventure. Thanks for sharing!

[@judithpearson3968]

Beautiful scenery today. That snow and ice was a bit sketchy. Those blow downs were rough. They were making my legs and arms hurt and I'm not even there. Guess this hiking vicariously through you is still painful. Your videos are really real, Julianne. Ya'll are doing great. I love that you are a purist. That's one reason I follow you. Ya'll take care. Stay safe. See you tomorrow.

[@michelezurick938]

Omg you’re so funny. Just found you today. Thanks for the posts!

[@hikingdancer]

Welcome!!

[@Yodie208]

The can that the spam comes in weighs 27.8 grams. As others have pointed out it must be refrigerated within a couple of hours. If others in your group eat spam, have them each carry an unopened can and divide up the contents of the opened one among yourselves in one sitting. Food poisoning is one of the worst things that you can go through and will never forget. It can end your hike, it's not worth the risk IMHO.

[@JamesOfEarth]

I’ve carried slices in baggies for days like she did. No problems yet in quite a few years. Singles are obviously preferable, but seems there’s more than enough salt in it to keep it freshish for a number of days.

[@Hikingin70sshorts]

I felt a little nauseous watching you cut up that Spam😅.

[@howgoodbaking]

Your video is awesome

[@hikingdancer]

Thanks

[@philipyoho8115]

Looks like a great day and great whether. I was up there just a few weeks ago. Hiked from PVC to Cedar Springs Trail. Started out with rainy weather, muddy trail, about an inch of snow near Hwy 74 and 35 degree temps. Buy the time I made it to Cedar Spring Trail, it was snowing with about 2 to 3 inches on the ground. Everything was frozen. Temps were easily in the 20's with 30 mph winds. But, it was an awesome day. Safe travels and happy trails on your way to San Jacinto (Hacinto).

[@susietopspin]

Exciting times ahead. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️

[@pauliedavis49]

Oh wow I guess your legs must have gotten all scratched up? Major bushwhacking indeed. Many thanks for the great videos!!!

[@michaelbutler4961]

I hope those were not thorny bushes!! Beautiful views of the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Nice to see you 4 back together again for now. Hike~~On~~>

[@jayray720]

🚶‍♀️👟👟⛺ thank you for sharing your journey there are some amazing views and of course it's always you're doing awesome 💯 stay safe happy hiking beep beep

[@luisahirsch5654]

So weird seeing snow in California! Loved your video as always! 😊

[@Randee04]

Love your style, thank you for taking the time to vlog this!

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

Wow those blow downs were tough and those bushes closing up the trail. I hope they didn’t have thorns!😮

[@EricSpriggs]

Unrefrigerated Spam will only last a few hours after opening.

[@stone8654]

Yep...she should eat it while she's walking

[@JamesOfEarth]

Not at all true. 5 days was my max in both ‘17 and ‘19. Gets a little brown day 4 and 5, but still tasted like spam and didn’t kill me. Spam is THE best trail meat. Twice the calories and half the weight of tuna/chicken packets and nowhere near the greasy mess. Spam! Get it!!

[@stone8654]

@@JamesOfEarth but how was the weather? Roadrunner is hiking in hot Sun-Ray weather

[@PhoenixGenesis]

It will last. I bought real ham at Mount Laguna and ate it for about 4 days with bread, cheese, bread and mayo.

[@JamesOfEarth]

@@stone8654 I’ve done it both in hot and cold temps. Did it out of Idylwild just like Dancer when I couldn’t find any singles on my ‘19 trek. Singles are preferable, but not always easy to find. I do insulate any perishable items in plastic bags, kept in the very center of my pack and never let it sit out long.

[@danielfegley2735]

Under the trees and over the rocks, like your back in PA. 😂 Between the fallen trees and the bushes, you looked like you were off trail, wear the bushes with thorns, I hope not. Remember, your trekking pole can be a Bushwacker .

[@hikingdancer]

Yes I used them like opening a door

[@martinwelch5774]

Continuous footsteps 🌟

[@stone8654]

Hey Roadrunner..next time you walk through bushes like that. use your hiking poles to push them away.. kinda like how you walk through saloon doors.

[@bigdog2024]

glad to see you switched to lightweight hiking pants, that probably protected your legs from those bushes you went through. Is the PCT not maintained like the AT, if so those bushes need to be cut back off the trail. That Spam might go bad on you as your pack gets warm with the sun on it, or maybe you started with it chilled and have something insulating it and in the middle of your pack,

[@cjengland2365]

I don't remember the bushes being quite so painful on the AT. Guess they have to be tough growing in the high desert. Nice day for it though.

[@Yeswecanoutdoors]

Yall are the best! I have yet to miss one video! Keep it up !!!! When do you plan on hitting Santa Monica Mountains???

[@hikingdancer]

Not sure yet

[@Yeswecanoutdoors]

@@hikingdancer let me know! I’m near there and can drop off some goodies for y’all!

[@hikingdancer]

@@Yeswecanoutdoorscan you email me so I can contact you when we are there? I try not to post my current locations on KZbin 🤗

[@CreekDiggerAdventures]

You went looking for water in a gray hoodie and came back in a teal lol that was a long walk What are the temps 50 degrees on AT today

[@albertborgman859]

Observant: the hat and pants match. SPAM- soldiers. Like aldeman but pink meat. It's all the same! The mixed accent reminds me of youth. Sort of a Swedish- Deutsch mix. So my English is never right. Western Terms to contemplate when bored. Bushwhack. Drygulched. Lickety Split. From " Boot Hill".

[@umreeh]

Does Far Out allow you to track your footsteps?

[@markviers998]

Of course it had to be bushes with sticker, ouch!!

[@hikingdancer]

Yes 😩

[@MaxZomboni]

2:37 I don't see anything crazy about it. You are just hiking a continuous footpath. That's the way it's done. 😎👍

[@hikingdancer]

Thank you. That means a lot

[@robertt9270]

Manzanita trees der

[@dukeedwards6843]

Was on P.C.T.last year The high Sierras Section was closed until After Aug 1st due to annual snow fall of 25 ft plus another 30 ft. Be Safe , Never take RISKS !!! Prayers for this section. Kept Pounding !!! 9 Lives 🐾 Appalachian Adventure Guides. ( Owner / Guide )

[@Yetithruhikes]

Are you carying an ice axe????

[@robertclark8044]

She picked one up a few days earlier.

[@Yetithruhikes]

@@robertclark8044 For what?

[@musingwithreba9667]

That's just cruel that the water source is so far off trail. Maybe they could re-route either or both so that they meet somehow 😂

[@jeffbeckert9587]

Be careful this is not the easy AT, this is a real trail.

[@JamesOfEarth]

I’d say the PCT is quite a bit easier, barring any destroyed sections.

[@jeffbeckert9587]

@@JamesOfEarth apparently you've never hiked the pct, or anywhere on the west coast.

[@JamesOfEarth]

@@jeffbeckert9587Apparently, you didn’t bother to check my channel. Hiked in ‘17 and ‘19 and been doing trail maintenance in SoCal for nearly a decade, but of course you couldn’t resist making a nasty reply to my opinion.

Mike drop. Boom shakalaka. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@miken7629]

Love SPAM, Squirrels Possum And Mice

[@blairpoisson6474]

Eating raw spam is questionable to begin with. Hopefully the snow brings low enough Temps to keep safe.

[@umreeh]

It's already fully cooked and she heats it up with other food before eating in other videos

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

Yuck. Spam is just all the junk bits of fat and gristle from the pig carcass. Is that all you could find to pack out for meals ?

[@SouthCoastRich]

The Monty Python team loved Spam !! 😂😂👍

[@catpatrick3838]

Cheap and fairly calorie dense. Loaded with sodium, potassium and magnesium (electrolytes). Thru hikers dream food. I'm not a fan but I'm not the one eating it so 🤷🏼‍♀️.

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

Good evening! Happy to see you lot back on trail. Looking forward to the plan for the next two days!

[@steveo4436]

I hiked that section June 2019. Remember that water hike too well. Enjoying following you and reminiscing. Bones ❤

[@Hodaggium]

You couldn't pay me to eat Spam because Spam - Stuff Posing As Meat
