Days 70-72: 30 (miles) is the new 20 | PCT 2018 Vlogs Ep. 21

[@RabidRabbit]

Hi Team Rabbit! Sorry for the delay between vlogs. Thanks so much for your patience. There will be a little surprise for you tomorrow ;)

[@TheDenisedrake]

Thanks for keeping us safe! It would be great to see the meals Cheryl made.

[@RabidRabbit]

I’m working on her Denise. Someone else asked for a whole video on her food planning and preparation. We’ll see.

[@MarthaJaneify]

Oh I can’t wait for the surprise! I’m a loyal follower! Great job and thanks for taking us along!

[@RabidRabbit]

Thanks for hanging with us Martha

[@griz795]

Beautiful views. Looks like you were sharing that little pipe spring w/ a lion... Safe hiking, thanks again for sharing. Griz.

[@memathews]

Good to see this post. You are making fantastic time here, I hope this conditioning prepped you nicely for your Sierra jaunt.

[@RabidRabbit]

I’m pretty sure you will agree that the conditioning carried over well. My daily average for the past couple of weeks has been over 25 mpd. Ok, I’ve lost some more weight.

[@Mtnsunshine]

Amazing miles! What a gorgeous trail! Yep, you are getting stronger and stronger with each of those miles. Great way to start my Saturday morning...riding along with you on this trip. And the jostling around on top of the pack isn' even that bad. ;-)

[@RabidRabbit]

Good to have you up there, Karen.

[@trakyboy5128]

A shout 😊 out 2 Mrs Rabbit for back ground support team work !!!!!! U Rock Mrs R..

[@RabidRabbit]

Yes she does!

[@skippylippy547]

Robert Frost . . . 'The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.'" :)) Woot! I get so inspired by your hike.

[@RabidRabbit]

Thanks Skippy, and I’m inspired by Robert Frost.

[@livinglike_lisa7954]

How did you get your trail name? I don’t remember you telling us. Another great video! You bring joy into my world with your self deprecating humor and fun attitude! Very refreshing!

[@RabidRabbit]

Thank you. My trail name isn’t technically a trail name but I was already using it on my posts and my daughter thought it would be confusing to change. Actually it was the name of my fantasy football team.

[@jgarza6777]

GOOOOD MORNING RABID RABBIT! Glad you took some time off the trail. What a beautiful area that you are in. You should have a fishing pole with you!

[@RabidRabbit]

I took a few days to help my son move. It wasn’t much of a rest. The videos are backlogged and hopefully will be rolling out soon to catch up. Hint: I’ve hiked 500 miles since the last video.

[@jgarza6777]

Rabid Rabbit I bet it was nice seeing your wife and son. Would love to do this trail with my son but can’t take the time off. Someday Can’t wait for your next video. Be safe ☺️

[@elund408]

You are looking very fit. Trial life seems to agree with you.

[@RabidRabbit]

I’m in better shape but would rather not lose more weight.

[@greggray2017]

Go Rabbit Go !!!!!!!!!!! If you can, hit the Morning Glory Cafe in Ashland. Best breakfast in the world.

[@RabidRabbit]

That’s a possibility, thanks

[@poppawolf26]

Ha, I'm first...it's 4:34 in the morning in Hawaii and Rabbid wakes me up...LOL...can't wait to watch his newest video....

[@OttawaOldFart]

I have been watching the volcano from a couple of KZbinrs in Hawaii.

[@poppawolf26]

Pele has been putting on a spectacular show indeed unless your one of the residents who have lost their homes...

[@Mountian-Zen]

Excellent progress and excellent video footage. Long steady distance wins the race. Keep it safe & enjoy

[@RabidRabbit]

I’m doing my best and pleased with the results

[@gaylewalker4239]

You're looking good. thanks for the ride and the views.

[@RabidRabbit]

Thanks Gayle. I’ve lost more weight but I’m feeling strong.

[@felipecastellon4740]

Hi, awesome videos. I've been getting into dehydrating. About 3 of months ago I got a Gourmia 1650. I've dehydrated a few things but am pretty new to it. It would be awesome if you or your wife can make a video of how you make your food. I've seen some on youtube and purchased a book on it. Keep on trekking! Stay safe.

[@RabidRabbit]

I’m working on the wife to make the video. Hopefully soon.

[@Mtnsunshine]

Like the beard! Keep it growing. :-). You are a mountain man now, afterall.

[@RabidRabbit]

If I could gain some weight I could be Santa Clause.

[@jodimiller7931]

LOL sorry about that strap...was enjoying the scenery!

[@RabidRabbit]

You know, I like to use names of commenters!

[@griz795]

27mi is outstanding 30mi is insane. I don't know how you do it and look great. About what is your pace?

[@RabidRabbit]

Griz, I target an average of 2.5 mph excluding breaks which tend to be short. I try to start around 5:30 AM and finish by 7:00 PM.

[@michelleoglesbee-flores2518]

Hi Rabbit. I know the blogs are behind, but question for you. My son lives in ashland and I will be there on the 21st -23rd of July. Are you already to ashland or if not, what is your ETA? If there at same time, would love to give you some trail magic.

[@RabidRabbit]

I’ll know more in a day or two. Right now, I’m finishing the part that I skipped. If this old body holds up, I’ll be in Sierra City on Sunday and will start north from Etna a day or two later so I should be in the area near that time. Email Mrs Rabbit at butlercr@hotmail. Com

[@michelleoglesbee-flores2518]

Rabid Rabbit will do. Thank you sir

[@tomiday66]

This popped up on my KZbin feed like a rabbit out of a hat, so I had to watch before my morning walk. OK, that done, I'm outta here!

[@RabidRabbit]

Hope you enjoyed it.

[@axerxes3981]

Rabbit..... the audio, when you interview people, is awful. Close to the camera is fine... but a few feet away makes it difficult or impossible to hear. Why go thru the hassle of filming and interviewing ifn you're not going to be close enough for us to hear?? Otherwise..... good trip and commentary. Ax

[@RabidRabbit]

Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t seen all the videos and my daughter doesn’t give much feedback. We’ll do better.

[@axerxes3981]

Rabbit.... tell her you're thinking about replacing her!! LOL

[@davidbeasley232]

You are starting to give away your age. Hitari? I haven't heard of that in a long time, lol.

[@RabidRabbit]

I thought I said Atari. My age is 62. Thanks for hanging along.

[@joseperez-cl8jk]

? Is the PCT the fountain of youth you are looking younger, doing 20++ miles every day life extension. Hike on JoP

[@RabidRabbit]

Keep watching Jose but I think you may have something! If nothing else, years of fat are gone.

[@poppawolf26]

I am watching Alone on TV when I got your notice. Imagine trying to survive in Mongolia just before winter.....

[@RabidRabbit]

I wouldn’t want to try Mongolia but I did live in Kazakhstan for 4 years

[@poppawolf26]

amazing....

[@leslietoohey3499]

"Joaquin Miller wrote about the atrocities committed on the regions native populations during the 1855 Battle of Castle Crags"

[@RabidRabbit]

Thanks Leslie. I love reading historical accounts and will look this up later.
