Starburst you are always looking out for everyone on the trail and you are always so happy at the same time. Sorry to hear that you were cold through the night, have you tried this Jen? Once you are in you're sleeping bag, stick your feet and sleeping bag into your empty rucksack, this will give you an extra layer to help keep your feet a bit warmer through the night.

[@judywest6142]

Love your spirit , you are so kind . Keep the videos coming!

[@doubled5037]

As always, awesome video! Thanks for sharing

[@dhiatt333]

Thanks for the Mowgli update.

[@tootsla1252]

OMG, will you look at the color of that sky!?!? Dazzling.

[@Thunder77774]

Beautiful views and lots of river crossings. Stay warm and get you're sleeping back on track.💤😘💞🎶

[@johnd746]

Wow! Can't imagine Mowgli doing what he did with a lung problem. Quite the tribute to his father.

[@extremelydave]

Another Starburst video!!! Wow! You just pump these bad boys out!!! The flats just below Forester are pretty awesome. Seeing peaks 360 degrees around you is pretty special. Loved the rock face, but you have to wonder what made the person actually see that to do it..... Keep on trekkin' Starburst!!! Soon it will be easy, big miles!

[@allanfifield8256]

Take your socks off when crossing a stream, on the other side dry your feet and put your socks back on.

[@jonathantrauner5731]

This time of year , given the gear you have you are dehydrated. First sigh of dehydration is being cold.

[@grega8586]

Any chance you took a few steps off the trail when you climbed up out of the Wallace Creek canyon? About 50 yds to the left of the trail is an amazing overlook of the Kern River Canyon and up into the Kern-Kaweah drainage. Bighorn Plateau is one of my favorite places, along with LeConte Canyon (which will be after Mather Pass and Palisade Creek). I am curious where you spent the night. There are a pair of ponds to the south of Tyndall Creek that was the most peaceful place I have slept (other than the frogs). I'm sure you are already past it, but I hope you kept your ice axe for Mather Pass, as it's usually a bit trickier than Forrester.

[@johneason6540]

Looks like your feeling well! GO! Starburst. Good job taking time with Mogli, he needed your help. Those marmots, cutest critters. Be safe snow crossing.

[@thuthiehiker]

Good story about Mowgli. Any updates. Great views. You looked so clean this day. For no shower in awhile.

[@memathews]

It's so beautiful there, especially those high meadows and the alpine lakes. A pretty good return on the investment in the desert. No back complaints in this video, that's a good sign. Oh, that sunscreen color looks like blush. Maybe we have a new trend of backcountry makeup? haha

[@JKCooke]

Doing good Jen. You got some bigger water crossings coming up, be careful .

[@HikeCamp]

Some beautiful country and video! Atb on a smooth pass crossing... Max

[@thiagowaldhelm]

one can never get tired of these views! 😍 and I was wondering if it was possible to cross the streams without getting your feet wet. thanks for answering that haha

[@ginajahn1748]

6 away from 7000 subscribers!! Great job!!

[@PatKithiraj]

Keep your head warm with a beanie at night. Tie your handkerchief around your nose and mouth so you can breath warm air. Thanks for sharing👍🏻👍🏻

[@denimlabels7315]

You have a great attitude. Keep it up and be careful :)

[@johnd746]

Can't imagine getting within 500 feet of the summit and not going all the way. But as long as Mowgli was fulfilled that's all that matters.

[@patland73]

Another very nice video, that rock face was kinda creepy hahaha!

[@dougpetty67]

If you want to stay warm at night, forget the heating devices, strip down to your underwear and lose the socks. Put your morning clothes in the foot of your bag. You will be toasty warm in a couple minutes. I have slept this way down to -19F with success. Colder than that, you may want long johns and socks.

[@joeschmoe4030]

Yup, I have done the same thing in below freezing temps and been plenty warm, I can't explain it, but your body heat and the sleeping bag work better in combo w/out the layer of clothes in between.

[@dougpetty67]

I learned that in the Army. It works.

[@michaeledwards2449]

@@dougpetty67 it "works" for men!

[@LMicheleS]

At least you don't have to worry about running out of water anytime soon. ;)

[@chrisk4827]

good job you're making good progress. Keep it safe / Enjoy Forrester pass.

[@AllenSchubert]

It was good to have some closure to the story of the person(s) with ashes.

[@jonathantrauner5731]

At that elevation you should be consuming about 1.5 - 2 gallons of liquid a day.

[@roscoegoesoutdoors9205]

You all are funny giving advice. She is thirty days ahead of this video. lol

[@Lue_Jonin]

The night shivers (hypothermia) Gotta make sure whatever your sleeping in is dry and layered. Maybe convince a bunch of them cute Marmots to snuggle up with ya at night 😀 lol Beautiful scenery..thats gotta keep ya stoked as you take on the beasts (Sierras) ✌ 👣 👑 👑

[@LenserX]

Good thing it doesn't get below 50 degrees on the PCT, right? ;-)

[@rumblechick73]

Not sure how far behind your vids are from real life, but I think Mowgli is the same guy who was hiking with Night Crawler/Dann Hailey from the beginning. I know Dann said they had gotten separated a while back. They hiked the AT together too.

[@greggray2017]

I picked up on that too :)

[@rumblechick73]

I've exchanged a couple of messages with Dann, but we haven't totally figured out if it's the same guy or not.

[@tootsla1252]

Videos are about month behind. She summited Whitney on Fathers' Day.

[@rumblechick73]

Duh! I should have remembered that from the video! But I'm blond...and gray, so that's my excuse. LOL Thanks for reminding me. Now I'll go rent the space between my ears since it seems to be empty right now anyway!

[@jimsullivan7639]

I am praying for those who struggle along the trail. I know that it becomes a quest of sorts to find the ultimate inspiration out in "God's Cathedral!" You will find Him!

[@aeropilot4419]

Jim Sullivan Not all search for God in the personal sense, tho many find being alone in nature an inspiring, spiritual experience ... I know I did when first backpacking in 1975

[@aeropilot4419]

Bighorn Park 👍🏼 11:52 🙂✨

[@willwarden2603]

If you had a big doggie with you he would keep you warm and scare off the weirdos and bears. The downside is you have to carry the dog food.

[@MountainFisher]

Dogs are not permitted in the back country of the national parks with good reason. If they are smaller dogs they attract predators, larger dogs also attract them and also often intimidate other hikers. One guy had two mean unleashed rottweilers in the Ansell Adams wilderness and they ran at the wrong guy who shot them. That was 1974.

[@docholliday5439]

Your second trail name could be " 😷 Nurse Jen." You could go off trail and go 😱😲😨"SKINNY-DIPPING!" On a finer note. When I depart from this WORLD I am being cremated and one of my grandson's will be scattering my ashes inside Boothill cemetery, Tombstone Az. (Over several graves). Shhhhh don't tell nobody, it will be our secret! LOL. 😁😊😂😄😉🎊🎉🎈🎈🎈
