Episode 10: Hiker TV on Mt. Baden Powell (PCT 2017)

[@gregstritch9736]

Hiked the PCT as a boy with my grandpa carrying heavy scout equipment. Every other day or so we would come up on some spectacular view and he would say in his heavy Irish brogue, I mean it this time, this is where I want to build my cabin and live the rest of my days. Baden Powell was one of them. Hike on miss Dixie. Greg

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

Hey y'all! Apologies for the short video! But Baden Powell was so breathtaking that we wanted to give it it’s own episode. To make up for having a shorter video this week there will be another episode posted Sunday so be looking for that! Thank you SO much for watching! We’ll see y’all next time!

[@leapintothewild]

I was sitting here eatin' dinner and was like "too short!" haha But very beautiful. Thanks for thinking of us on Sunday. :-) Happy trails, Dixie.

[@mobiltec]

Great idea.

[@jasonboe]

I'm with MA Walker! Sitting down to enjoy a nice long video, and it was way too short...it only means you continue to make outstanding videos! Thanks for continuing to motivate me to get out and watch some hiker tv!

[@kimbasciano_]

Homemade Wanderlust yay can't wait to see Sunday's video!

[@adventurous63]

Johnny Rivers did an awesome version of "Into The Mystic".

[@leannescott816]

The time lapse video made me feel like I was meditating. Beautiful!

[@wesleykremer3916]

Love the time lapse. It looks like waves on an ocean or a cauldron of witches brew. No worries on the length, just love watching your progress and appreciate you sharing this adventure. As always, stay safe and prayers to all the hikers to be safe.

[@mrcnorth7149]

The length of your video's doesn't matter to me Ms Dixie. The video's always bring a smile to my face. Thank you.

[@graymanprepper88]

This was an incredible video, I don't care if it was short. Those clouds looked like a sea, it was so beautiful. Thank you Dixie for the breathtaking views.

[@maxpatch67]

awesome!!! Your editor is really outdoing himself. Between your filming, narration, hiking, adventure and his editing, these videos are truly amazing!!!

[@heyron9357]

Oh..., Dixie! When I first saw that this video installment was 'only 7 minutes' long..., I thought perhaps that the 'difficulty factor' had ramped-up!? ORrrr..., that some kind of an 'technical issue' occurred limiting your ability to film!? My-Oh-My!! The view from the ^TOP^ of Baden Powell, is quite simply BREATH TAKING. I am so very thankful, that you have chosen to give the rugged beauty of Baden Powell its Very Own ~ *FEATURE PRESENTATION* ~ this weekend! Talk about ...."Purple Mountain Majesties".... 'Thank You', my dear..., for taking each of us along on this Wonderful Adventure. Lastly, I 'hope' that Mayor continues trekking along with you (if possible?), until you catch up with Ol' Perk & Chance. Now..., Be SAFE, Out THERE!! 😉

[@moonlightguitars]

Thanks for the post. I am an Eagle Scout, class of 1991. I also watched your whole hike on the AT. I hope to do it when I retire in 20 years. I can't do it in my working life. Thank you for all the videos along your way.

[@planningtolive_thebestlife453]

Awesome video! I loved the part at the end. It totally looked like waves crashing on the mountains. Truly beautiful!

[@jordanleajarvis]

The ending was so beautiful

[@ontherocks1491]

great video and I want to give a shout out to your editor he is doing a really good job

[@cardiackidjones2848]

jake earnhardt sooooo agree!

[@CSLee-yu6ht]

I don't have words for those clouds, I'm not there and I had tears in my eyes. Beautiful

[@laurens6552]

I think one person's jaw dropped from all the beauty in this video and accidentally hit the thumbs down.

[@john51777]

Not sure who would hit thumbs down on this video but I don"t think I would want to be his friend. The views are amazing!

[@adventurous63]

Unfortunately there are people out there who have nothing better to do with their time than try to ruin someone elses day. That's why you very seldom see vids with no thumbs down. I pay them no attention.

[@rickdavis2235]

The thumbs down is actually a testament to the fact that she is making a positive impact on KZbin and some are very jealous because they don't possess her charm or film making skills.

[@alexriddles492]

Clouds like ocean waves as the sun sets. The best scene yet.

[@retiredusmc9090]

That final time lapse sequence with the clouds rolling in and out like and ocean, was Amazing!

[@graveltraveldirt]

6:30 wow, just wow "an ocean of clouds with islands popping up" outstanding. Thank you.

[@charlessullivan5370]

What this video lacked in length was offset by its beauty. I anticipate being on the AT Sunday, but I will look forward to your next update when I get home. I plan on thru-hiking the JMT next summer, if I can get a permit. Thanks for sharing, Dixie. "In wildness is the preservation of the world." --Henry David Thoreau

[@KennethRayable]

Awesome cloud cover. Clouds above you and clouds below you. You can't beat the view.

[@katherinevogl1826]

I am sooo happy I found you. This was a beautiful and very relatable episode. Keep it up!

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

Thanks, Katherine :)

[@orion_13]

Those clouds and the use of time lapse was absolutely perfection!! Thank you!

[@timshel011]

So cool! What kind of snake was that ? Can't wait for Sunday. Thanks

[@orion_13]

Scarlet King Snake

[@orion_13]

Red on yellow, kill a fellow (Coral Snake). Red on black, a friend of Jack (Scarlet King Snake).

[@katchfishy]

California mountain kingsnake...... Go Dixie!

[@jdgoodwin325]

I love how you take time to show us the small stuff on the trail such as insects and plants. That little California Mountain Kingsnake was a jewel! Thanks for sharing.

[@mike76rob]

That cloud time-lapse was fantastic. I do enjoy these videos from your trail, quite different from a load of others I've seen, especially how you show all the wildlife.

[@stanthemanhikes2965]

Dixie the clouds from the ridge line were absolutely stunning. Glad you were there at that time to catch them! Great job by your editor putting it together

[@madmartigan8774]

I've spent a significant amount of time in California and have never seen views that beautiful. that includes the time I spent in the mountains. I never knew what I was missing out on. truly great video!

[@madisonmutchler1937]

I truly teared up at the beauty in this video. It is breathtaking.

[@HeidiHearne]

The cloud time lapses were amazing!

[@sharonmarks7192]

Wow, those clouds really looked like waves lapping up on the mountain rocks. Beautiful!

[@eijaj5997]

Beautiful clouds 💜 that fast forward really made it looks like waves on an ocean

[@mikescooling]

You are so tough to stay outside, and hike all day. You are amazing. thumbs up

[@terryalexander5130]

Looking down on a cloud filled valley never gets old. Thanks for the views. Happy trails.

[@johnhopkinson6504]

Been following you since your AT conquest. Enjoyed that so much. But the quality of your videography, music and insightful comments on this PCT adventure is captivating. Thank you soooo much!!!! Can't wait to keep watching.

[@dfuller968]

Being above the clouds like that was absolutely beautiful. Great capture on video!!!

[@robiny1823]

Oh, those clouds are just breathtaking! Thanks you so much for letting us see the trail through your eyes. Happy trekking!

[@Mariah9239]

Why did this video make me cry? Absolutely breathtaking! I love your videos Dixie! Future 2018 AT thru hiker here!

[@KateGoldauthoress]

Totally understand what you are saying between 5:00 and 6:00. Nature is constantly breathtaking!

[@Katharine848]

I love how the fog settles in the valleys and you are above the tree line, I love how there is an American Flag, and I also love how all of you are in shorts in the snow with micro spikes and super tan legs!!

[@wayneboyd2682]

Well Dixie you have outdone yourself again. The vistas were breathtaking and the other video "treats" were natgeo quality. I am glad we are along for the ride with you. Be safe in the Sierras.

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

Thank you, Wayne!!

[@salmonella508]

Why would anyone give this woman's videos a "thumbs down"?

[@pmhops77]

Don't know if you get a chance to read this stuff, but I hope you do. I'm "living" vicariously through you right now. Your videos are more than just passive background noise to me. You give my soul hope, and my mind peace. "The Dude, takin it easy for all us sinners out there" lol. Takes balls to own your own life, and get out there after it!

[@frankwarner970]

Thanks for taking the time to share those beautiful views!! Absolutely breath taking!!

[@missmatti]

This is probably some of the most stunning places you have been so far on the PCT - omg! I am so amazed that views like this exists.. the beauty this world has to offer!

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

Haha, yeah it beats the desert for sure!

[@virginiabaxter7878]

Stunning!! Beats anything you can watch on tv by far!! Beautiful ending. The clouds looked like sea foam.

[@warrenlewis7540]

Thanks for showing Baden Powell. I am a scout master for troop 820 in Oklahoma. I start my thru hike of the Colorado Trail tomorrow. Hike on. And that snake, looks like a 24 ohm.

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

GOOD LUCK!

[@kimritchie8458]

My favorites are the clouds, with mountains peeking out. I loved when you sped up the video..beautiful cloud waves.

[@What_If_We_Tried]

Absolutely stunning scenery. The music was perfect.

[@majormasingil9961]

some of those views gave me chills they were so amazing. great update

[@Posthastekid]

That ending was beyond amazing.

[@fontainejr22]

That time lapse at the end was incredible!

[@neilstagner1961]

Amazing video Jessica, beautiful cloud waves crashing on the mountains. Stunning!

[@Chavens1020]

Good Lord that last clip is insane!!!! GORGEOUS!

[@fayebooth1920]

I know that I and I expect quite a few folks would never have the opportunity to see what you're seeing so I thank you for your videos and will continue to wait for them each week. Thanks

[@Kpccrysler1987]

Wow. That scenery is absolutely stunningly gorgeous!

[@1990westfalia]

The clouds looked as if they were waves upon the coast. Beautiful. Thanks for taking those awesome time-lapsed video. Cast Iron Kid

[@amh414]

One of the best edited videos yet!

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

Totally in awe !! For a place to be seemingly so extreme and intense, is simply and passively beautiful. Views are breathtaking . Always enjoy seeing a new piece of your adventures. Thank you for sharing...God Bless and stay safe...

[@23Sheldog]

Some beautiful shots in this one!

[@rifleman1873]

I agree with you - nature is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

[@extremelydave]

WHOA! The cloud video, especially the slo-mo was just KILLER Dixie!! Sweet!

[@pacrib]

Wonderfully done, Dixie ! You always seem to capture the simplest parts of your hike ..the scenery . All you have to do is open your eyes ...Take it all in , enjoy and be safe. "The journey is its own reward..." Looking forward to this weekend's video..

[@adamnorris2077]

Beautiful... Time lapses were amazing! Thanks for sharing Dixie!

[@christianwarren3585]

Wow, gorgeous shots in this one!! I can't wait to get out there. Your vlogs have made me more obsessed than ever! Thank you for the motivation!

[@brucehodson2763]

You caught that cloud cover for what it is. An ocean on a different time scale. Exceptional capture. The accompanying music was good too.

[@deadheadhoodie]

dang those final shot over the clouds were amazing .. thank you for sharing that

[@surfk9836]

Was in scouts and hiked all through Angeles Crest area as a boy. In high school used to ski Thanksgiving to Easter on natural snow in the 70's. The cloud cover over LA is typical in the spring. Mt Waterman, snow from heaven not from hoses. Thanks!

[@Pack.Leader]

What an amazing timelapse of those clouds! Only time I've seen clouds from the top were the times I've flown. This is one of my favorite videos of yours so far. Wow. Stunning!

[@Waldwaerts]

That outro was mind blowing. Thank you. Thank you so much, Dixie.

[@jacobr1292]

The flowing cloud timelapse is awesome!

[@HomemadeWanderlust]

It was like looking at the ocean!

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Awesome! Your camera this trip is PHENOMENAL!!! Thanks so much for sharing and taking us along!

[@rileysimmons9915]

Hey Dixie! I just wanted to say that I am so proud of you. You are such an incredible lady, an inspiration to many, and someone I look up to. Keep up the hard work!

[@christinewinterton7111]

Your videos are getting so good maybe another job you could look at! The scenery is spectacular makes me want to get out there even though I hate the heat. Look forward to your next episode. Look after yourself.

[@jabird212]

*warning fan girl post* Seeing these videos makes me want to explore and hike new places every day. Everything about these videos are amazing. but you're eyes and memory are the best megapixel camera you'll ever have

[@minoentje]

I got goosebumps this episode. That was beautiful.

[@glennkoenig6078]

So in love with your journey and your videos and always look forward to the next. I am living vicariously through your travels and really admire you as a person in how you express the joy you have about the natural beauty around you. Safe travels.

[@phebefriddle9133]

Thanks for a glimpse into your TV. I think I'm just a bit jealous. Gorgeous scenery.

[@Oscar-oh5st]

Just hiked to the peak a couple of weeks ago. It was my first peak and I was happy to get it done!

[@jmminmn]

Gorgeous! Living the time lapse of the clouds. Keep up the awesome videos. I look forward to all of them. Be safe, enjoy the journey.

[@oldwelshwitch]

I am constantly impressed with the quality of your videos on the trail! the ending was absolutely beautiful!

[@piazzaluca]

I binge watched the whole channel last week, was waiting for the new episode! ;) enjoy you time, and thanks for your videos!

[@rbuste]

Playing catch up watching your PCT videos. This is the one made me hit the subscribe button. Thank you for reminding me why I love just being "out there".

[@johnwayne6501]

you are so creative with your videos...love it! I grew up on southern Calif (Hawthorne, Redondo Beach) and I have only made a few trips to the local mountains but you my friend has seen so much I love to have seen. Now I live in Oregon and just love my new backyard.

[@jimwilliams2753]

[@sunnyearthwalker7628]
