[@RickINFJ]

Slow and steady passes the ultra marathoner....and a desert rat. 😂 I love that you pointed out the line of shade coming up the moutainside; very aware of your surroundings. 👍 Crushing some big miles! ✌️

[@Kay_Lorraine]

Happy to see you again. Love the leggin's. Makes me laugh. Just lather sunscreen everywhere and hike naked! 😂😉💜 Keep smilin!

[@jessejulian3875]

Impressive speed. Stay hydrated. Great video. Thank you.

[@paulzeiller2807]

Very good video. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure.

[@excession3076]

Hi Jaru Good to see you back on trail, you make such good videos reflecting the reality of the hike. Couple of things, (from the earlier videos) Without a border you don't have a country, a settlement. I live close to neolithic settlements in England with extensive ditches and earthworks, they understood this 5000 years ago. If you cannot protect and mark out what you build, create and raise, people won't bother. Becoming a global nomadic society is regressive. Seeing those Jets as you trudge along working hard to accomplish your goals , you must have though at some point "I've gotta get me one of those".

[@TammyCleveland-n2l]

Wow! I love the scenery, its amazing how different it is compared to the east coast and I love the east coast, i just enjoy the difference. Lol...i can hear the Top Gun soundtrack when i see those jets. Thank you so much for taking us all along with you, its fun watching everything your experiencing!

There is a hike I like along the sea. Takes 10-12 hours. Through incredibly wild and rugged nature. Sometimes you get a bit bored as you struggle along but then there is a boat in the sea. You stop and stare at it, trying to guess who is in it, what they are going to do, what beach they'll stop at and so on. This game is called "sometimes there is a boat". The way you film planes in your videos I imagine you are playing "sometimes there is a plane". I absolutely love the book "Born to run"! ( I even bought the book that guy who were in Africa studying the hunting methods there wrote. Have not had time to read it yet though.) I so wish I could run again! I used to run like it is described in the book. I used to run everywhere rather than walk. I love hiking even though I can hardly do it and am so slow. I wish I could run again so I could get far into remote wilderness which is now inaccesible to me. Fantastic plants in the desert! Such crazy shapes. Ha ha the shade coming up! I like starting before sunrise, then the sun comes up and parts of the landscape become lit. I'm still in the shade and I think "pocket of night". I imagine I'm a vampire. Have to go as far as I can in the pockets of night. Eventually the sun touches me. Game over. I turn to dust. The very best of luck to you!

[@suemoore1965]

It seems.... SOME PEOPLE HIKE FOR THE FOOD WHILE YOU HIKE FOR THE HIKE 😅 I ENJOY THE WAY YOU RO IT YOUR WAY 🌄

[@suemoore1965]

COLD WATER IS THE BEST ON A HOT DAY 🌅

[@matthewthalhamer2825]

Keep on crushing it,

[@suemoore1965]

👣💕 REALLY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR MILEAGE 🌺👣

[@Randee04]

Loved that tree!!! I'm a tree freak anyway. Also, you are getting burned on your chest. Be aware that sunscreen needs to be reapplied often. I use sun protection fingerless UV gloves, think about that for yourself. Be safe!!!

I so enjoy your videos. ~Pineapple/Kimberly

[@JaruWalks]

@@kimberlyjames7857 thanks again for the headnet, still carrying it and has saved me so many times. Had a night two weeks ago where the mosquitoes did not sleep all night, would have been utter hell.

[@Fistmele]

What you saw from Jacinto was smog. One of the lovely things in Cali.

[@JaruWalks]

Ah, well there was also a large fire just ahead in big bear

[@Fistmele]

@JaruWalks oh I see, well that will do it. I spent a lot of time out there late 80s early 90s. Glad to see you posting again. AT was awesome!

[@kimberlypenney7216]

You must be sooo lonely. I feel bad for you. I hope our comments help you. Sending up prayers for you to stay safe and hydrated

[@JaruWalks]

@@kimberlypenney7216 I’m not lonely, I like hiking solo or as a group. Both are good experiences.

[@MileOne...]

Have you come across any other PCT thru hikers yet?

[@JaruWalks]

@@MileOne... not as of this video

[@MileOne...]

@@JaruWalks u will be catching up to the late starting hikers/slower hikers soon enough 😎

[@moniqueahola3235]

If you happen to read this Try to sprinkle the seasoning on top of the top ramen and eat it raw. My kids did it all the time and it's pretty good I tried it. A lot better then soaking it in creek water. 😂

[@JaruWalks]

@@moniqueahola3235 haha… but… I’m imagining the ramen soaking up every bit of water I have in my body while I’m in the desert

[@darrellmarcks6304]

I'm not sure where you're at but if you remember me vaguely mentioning Roadrunner, in her videos they're just hitting a reroute her tramily member is making and updating as they go through it to bypass the fires. 110 mile I believe. She's posting where they're finding water and helpful people and I believe she's making the info available. Not 100% if she's linking it on her channel "Hikingdancer". Good luck!

[@JaruWalks]

@@darrellmarcks6304 there are several fires in NorCal, Oregon, and WA.

[@mtnlvr2157]

@@JaruWalks The fire he's talking about is right after Mt. Shasta. This reroute is supposed to keep the hike continuous. Anyway, they're finding water. Glad to see you back out there. Happy and safe trails!

[@mikaelaolsen8835]

@@JaruWalks The hikers ahead seem to have had to change their route several times when the fires have spread or new fires popped up. In the end people have failed with their continnuous foot path. I hope you have good reception where ever you are so you are able to plan ahead and creat a continnuous path. I would love to see you succeed.

[@JaruWalks]

Sounds like you listened to Backpacker radios podcast I know they talked about the hiker siestas

[@JaruWalks]

Yeah, that was the one

[@gregkazmierczak5684]

Best of Luck out there, following along on you're Journey has been awesome. I'm surprised you didn't go SOBO for the PCT. I know there's pros and cons for both so I'm sure you had you're reasons. ​@@JaruWalks

[@JaruWalks]

There is no snow nobo, there are tons of snow sobo

[@gregkazmierczak5684]

@@JaruWalks ah the makes sense I forgot about the time delay of when you started on trail to when you're first video dropped my mistake.

[@GypsyRose5273]

I was going to help you out, but you already came through. Mercy you are fast. Nice view of Hemet from your location. Those pretty purple flowers are Lupin. You walked down South Ridge Trail. I might have been there when you walked through. If you saw a white Tahoe on that road it was me. 😂

[@JaruWalks]

@@GypsyRose5273 this was over a month ago fyi

[@GypsyRose5273]

@@JaruWalks oh wow. I understand. Enjoy your hike. Your speed is impressive.
