Great, just as I was getting adapted to normal, post-pct life you go ahead and make another video that makes me want to quit the job I don’t have and do it all again

[@helena_hikes]

@@zachhafey4748 LOL. Getting adapted is realizing real life doesn’t reward basic survival skills… so rude, man.

That was a great video. Glad we could be your first trail magic. It's always enjoyable when we can have hikers in the trail crew camp. There are so, so, so many places I remember from my section and thru hikes, plus all the miles on trail crew.

[@helena_hikes]

So happy you liked it! It was such a good time with you guys, just what I needed that day. Glad the video brings back some memories :-)

[@PCTrockandroll]

@Token_Civilian!!!! You guys scared me to death when you showed up, and then ended up being one of my favorite moments on trail (LOL!). I spent a good 3 minutes rambling on about the experience :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZjIfniQiNZ9a5I
