Thanks for the memories, 2024

[@JerryArizona]

I'm a little overwhelmed with the response on this video. Especially all of the positive comments. The community around this channel is fantastic. I'm sorry if I don't say enough how thankful I am for you all. But I am. Hope you all have a wonderful 2025 and beyond!

[@amikyle228]

I don't know how to express this. I know I'll fail but let me try anyway. My husband died in 2012 and I moved our family to Colorado where I took our three boys out into nature as much as possible because it helped us heal. This past June, I lost my youngest son. I've been trying to find my footing again and your montage of all the beautiful places you've been to this past year are places I've dreamed of going to for a long time and am in the process of trying to make that happen this summer and you are providing more insipiration for me. I feel a connection to my lost loves in such amazing natural beauty. I'm glad you realized you didn't fail. Treasure those experiences.

[@all-to-Him-I-owe100]

Love and prayers sweet lady. I am always inspired by the human spirit of people like you. In spite of the pain, you keep moving forward and pressing on. I pray for comfort, peace and healing for you. Thank you for sharing - it really puts things into perspective and makes me pause and be thankful for when my biggest problem is a hard day at work. 🙏🏻❤️

[@LarryManiccia]

Sorry for all your loss. I hope that your trips out into nature help heal you a little at a time.

[@benscheidhastoomuchtosay2094]

Peace to you and your family. With eyes open nature connects us all. Here’s to you finding your footing once again!

[@Sweetlyfe]

I’m so sorry for the loss of your husband and your beautiful boy. I watched the love of my life walk through her profound grief after the loss of her 24yr old son just year and two weeks before we connected, her Daughter was 21. She moved to the countryside in Scotland (I’m Australian) and she lived in an old gate house from a derelict estate/mansion. There was so much land that and really old trees that it was like she was in the wilderness, she walked those woodlands and had a tree that held her grief. She would spend time with that old twisted limbed old tree and it became the place that she put feathers in its branches she would speak to that tree, and cry at that tree. She moved to nature to help heal her broken heart. She walked through her grief often she walked backwards, and then forwards, and then it was suddenly a mountain of grief to climb, sometimes she was at the bottom of that mountain sitting in her messy all consuming grief. But she kept walking, whilst I walked beside her and at times when her grief was so raw it made me cry for her. Just keep walking you will never get over losing your son, but your grief will change and you will find moments of laughter and joy at times. I know my soulmate’s son was with her always and that he brought us together from opposite ends of the planet. Unfortunately I lost her to breast cancer 3.5yrs ago, we only had 4yrs together but it was a lifetime, she had only just turned 57 10 days before she departed the physical world. She taught me so much about resilience and a mother’s heart to make sure her other child was ok, and having to be there for her. I’m so grateful for the time we had together and the adventures we went on, filled with wildlife encounters and travels through my country and hers, then Sth east Asia a lot, we watched wild Orangutans in Borneo on two separate trips. She visits me now like her son used to visit her and leave her white feathers. I know I will see her again, I am lucky as she was a singer songwriter cabaret artist and she left behind her voice, what an incredible gift that is to have that. May your son light your path so that you know that he is walking beside you. I talk to my partner nearly every day. Just know it does get a little easier. It is only love that truly matters and making memories with those we love. You’re doing the best you can and that is enough, the path is winding perhaps you need a grief tree. Just be gentle on yourself we are all perfectly imperfect. Let nature continue to nurture you and your kid’s. Wishing you all the best. I’m sorry this is a thesis. One step at a time is all we can dog.

[@kirktinsley]

Prayers for you and your boys. I hope your search finds healing, peace and happiness for you all. I’m at my happiness when I’m out in beautiful nature.

[@jimh.8138]

Yes, my friend, after eight decades on this voyage we call life I can tell you…getting old ain’t for sissies. But it’s better than the alternatives, as they say. Most of my adventures are vicarious through folks like you. Keep on truckin’ for as long as you can.

[@SuperCobalt27]

That one made me cry. My husband and I watched all those videos together throughout the year and had laughed at the famous middle finger and cringed at the injuries. On December 2, in the early afternoon, my husband took a break from working in his shop to go on a bicycle ride with a friend who had stopped by. He was in an accident...a tanker truck pulled into the bike lane in front of him and he somehow didn't/couldn't get out of the way in time...the impact broke his neck and left him paralyzed...he died from complications in the hospital just before Christmas. You're not an old man, but please, please, be extra careful doing what you love.

[@JerryArizona]

I am so sorry to hear that. Hopefully 2025 year brings you healing, closure and better times.

[@fj9460-lr]

I’m 74 YOA with hip issues; I have always hiked, ran miles a day, fought bad guys as a law enforcement officer and all that was in the moment! I’ve lost my wife (Sharon was 59) and one son to cancer ( Mario was 28) and one other son to a heart attack (Phillip was 42) and I lived with survivor’s remorse for years, but I have our youngest son and his family (2 grandkids with him) and seven grandkids all together; am I a failure? Of course not, and neither are you- you are always with Tina and you’re a great husband and videographer! Your adventures are always the purest and real to the bone; be careful, keep bringing us along and Happy New Year my friend🇺🇸

[@JerryArizona]

Sorry to hear about your wife and son. That kind of loss is horrible. But you're absolutely right to focus on your son and grandchildren. I hope 2025 is kind to you and your family.

Outstanding cinematography. Great color and depth of field in individual shots. Excellent flow and blending of vignettes in the final production, with a moving music choice. Very talented. Congratulations to you both on all the accomplishments of 2024. Keep it up in the year to come. I really enjoy your channel and productions.

[@Desert2snowoffwego]

Jerry and Tina, I also want to thank you for all the Fantastic scenery and videography that you have provided for my viewing benefit (and others) throughout this year and in the past.

[@EllieG123]

You guys always make me tear up! Thank you for the reminder to go with the flow. We all need to hear that from time to time. You and Tina have inspired me to do so much this year and words cannot describe how grateful I am to have found your videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your beautiful experiences with us, even when they haven’t gone to plan. Hope you and your fam are all doing well, and cheers to having a great 2025✨💗

[@MoonJuiceHikes]

Holy cow… that was a fantastic video! Honestly, the cinematography here is next level. I struggle to understand how you capture it the way you do and make it look so stunning. Funny how a year that doesn’t go as planned, still brought you to some of the most amazing places on earth. Happy New year pal!

[@JerryArizona]

@@MoonJuiceHikes thanks for pushing me. Sometimes I need a kick in the ass to stop feeling sorry for myself.

[@randydurston4777]

I started following you at the beginning of the year. You editing of all of your adventures have inspired me to get in nature more than ever. I, myself, had a health issue. Bell’s Palsy. Im still recovering from it. I had to take a step back to take care of my fiancé this past year due to cancer. She’s in recovery mode and is doing well. I feel 2025 is going to be wonderful time for a lot of positive people. I will continue my continue my adventures with Mother Gaia in 2025. Blessing and health to you my friend.

[@JerryArizona]

Glad you're both on the mend. My dad told me the worst part about Bells was manually blinking his eye. Stuff just comes out of nowhere. Reminds me of a time I was talking to a cable repairman, complaining about how my cable had just been working fine. "Everything works until it breaks" was his response. Appreciate life, hope for the best and focus more on what is going right than what goes wrong. At least that's the goal, right?

[@LilyGazou]

Bells Palsy has become very common. Sad to say. And shingles, even in young people.

[@johnbarrows2034]

The footage, the editing ... all is just whow!! You've been blessed with all the stuff you saw. In this 'bad' year you saw more wonders than most of us will see in their entire life. Enjoy the memories and the feeling of freedom these adventures give you. THAT is life.

[@JerryArizona]

That's what I have to remind myself. My natural instinct is to worry about what goes wrong, not focus on what is going right. Still, I can't complain.

[@Trail_Trekker_AZ]

Straight to the heart, Jerry! Every. Single. Time! Your videos elicit every single emotion. Thanks for sharing your 2024! Stay strong and keep doing this. You’re so good at it.

[@moretoliving2236]

Tough as nails... both you Jerry and Tina. Injuries, medical scares, recoveries.... I still live by the quote from you years ago... "find what you feel passionate about and pursue it relentlessly". You guys persevere. You guys challenge yourself in ways most people would never even think of... whether its canyoneering, hiking or whatever. It is not always rainbows and sunshine but we live vicariously through you guys and you guys get to have all these cool experiences out of this world. I can only hope that your life keeps taking you places yet to be explored... one amazing journey at a time. Thank you for everything you share with us.

For the issues you had this year you still accomplished a lot! I had a hip replacement replaced after 2 years of limping around, last week I did my first hike since and was thankful to be back out also. I love your channel and the beautiful scenery you show. Prayers that 2025 is healthier for both of us, look forward to your trips next year.

[@JerryArizona]

Hope your recovery goes well. Gotta feel great getting back out there, huh?

[@lindabrandt4005]

I would have never known you hurt yourself that badly with all the difficult hikes the two of you do. I'm 74 and I follow you and Tina on your adventures. Two years ago I hurt myself badly hiking, broke my ankle and torn my ATFL 3/4 of the way through. No operation for me because dumb doctor wouldn't give me MRI... but like you I keep pushing myself and saw myself back out on trail. Amazing things happen when you have the " I can do it attitude like you have." For me, my ATFL grew back completely, verified by MRI, and I hike a lot now and better then ever. Keep up the beautiful videos and I love the playfulness between the two of you. Be careful and keep taking your beautiful videos. Happy New Year.

From one old man to another, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking us along with you for your adventures.

I just hope we’re physically able to do so ‘cause neither of us are getting any younger. Keep doing what you’re doing and we hope you and yours have a happy and healthy new year.

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

I feel your pain, seriously, on all levels. I turn 54 today! No one gets out alive. . . all the more reason to make the most of the time we have! Let's take risks, just not stupid ones. For me, the key is to know myself and what I'm honestly capable of and then walking that fine line with confidence and wisdom. Constant accurate situational assessment never hurts either when pushing the limits. Having a plan B when the hits the fan never hurts either! '25 is going to be great Brotherman!

[@JerryArizona]

Yeah, I just pushed my goals into 2025. We’ll see how that turns out. I’m sure it’ll be fun, even when it’s not. Also, 54 is a great age. And I remind myself every now and then of a line I heard somewhere; ‘it’s a fine line between brave and stupid’. I try to stay on the brave side of that line but don’t always succeed.

[@JonathanNielsen-n5k]

"Maybe we should just go with the flow sometimes." Awesome message, I was thinking similarly before you said this. I've had injuries and problems derail my plans multiple times, and sometimes it puts you on a path to things that may not be what you planned or wanted, but you can still take advantage of what opportunities you do have and still do some really cool things.

[@JerryArizona]

I have a tendency to go to worst case scenario thinking the second anything doesn't go eactly as planned. Figured maybe I wasn't the only person who needed a reminder to look for the positive. Only thing worse than complaining about things you can't change is not being able to see the good things when they happen to us.

[@DWilton]

I wish both of you the very best in 2025!!! Let's just be in the moment whenever and wherever possible!

[@PriyaMomma]

You two are truly blessed. To adventure with the one you truly love and who truly loves you. I’d give anything to do that even one time.

[@JerryArizona]

That thing was doing the same thing with another car when we pulled up. And when we left, it flew right back and perched on another parked car there. Guess it was after food? I don't know, but it was pretty funny. And yeah, 2024 was not all bad.

[@sixela165]

always love your videos. and this is my favorite yet. i've had the worst year of my adult life and let it stop me from doing what i love..hiking. This video has inspired me to not let bad times stop me from hiking. wishing you a great 2025. alos super cool shots of your wife with the roxy hat.

[@JerryArizona]

It's easy to get in your own head and spin. Spent a good bit of time doing that. I think it's depression and it's sneaky, especially if you aren't familiar with it. Easy from the outside to say 'just be happy'. But if you're depressed, nothing makes you happy. Or you lose that will to do the things that made you happy. The scenes on the couch were seconds in the video, but they were weeks and months in real life. Tina and my friends would have to force me to go out sometimes. I always enjoyed it when I went, but getting off the couch and making myself go was a battle. Can't say how many times I packed to go only to sleep in the next morning, unpack and sit around the house. Try getting out there and see if it helps. (I'm not an expert, but it seemed to help for me.) Hope 2025 is better for you.

[@sandragalati6281]

From Oregon - thank you. This gave me a lot of pleasure and ideas. Happy 2025.

Despite the injuries, it still looks like an epic year. I struggle with just going with the flow to. I am very structured on my trips. I love to watch your videos and see places I can go to next. Thanks for some new ideas. Happy New Year. Keep on trucking. 😊

[@JerryArizona]

I gotta fight that instinct as well. I don't like winging it and I don't like failing. Editing this, I started out feeling pretty negative about it, but when I saw what we'd actually experienced it was like "what are you complaining about?" Constantly need to remind myself to see the good and not always focus on the bad.

[@miapdx503]

Something to add to your list of accomplishments; you have blessed us, in so many ways. You reached through the screen and touched our hearts. You blessed our souls. You are a warrior!

[@rd.gerdes]

OMG man. If that was a bad year, I can't wait for 2025! Confession: After your surgery I thought you'd be out of action, so have not followed you consistently for awhile...until tonight. This could win awards...your videography and your edits are superb (aligned with the drums!) and the music is extraordinary. I'm a still photographer, but have thought about setting things to music...this will be a keeper in my "photo inspiration" folder. After this clip, I'm over feeling bad about my health issues, thx! Don't know about your shoulder, but you keep getting better and better with the technology and this one will be hard to top. And, yes, now I hit the bell. Best in the New Year to you both. Can't wait.

[@carolejameson9261]

I don’t think anyone had a year when everything worked out as planned! Too many surprises this year took my breath away. I am aging, as well, and find I can’t do many things I used to. Some is the aging process and not keeping myself in shape, the rest is the shock of the world we live in. My solution has been to mourn, regret, blame myself, and a sense of futility. But with every end-of-year , I find waiting for the fresh start and hope for a better year coming, allows me to leave the past in the past. At least for the time being. Why do we blame ourselves so much? Life can be tough, but if we can find meaning and value in doing something, we can be more successful than last year. I enjoy your videos, Jerry, whether you make mistakes or not! You are doing things many of us cannot and spending your adventures sharing. That’s quite a gift! Just don’t fall anymore!

[@JerryArizona]

I have the same default; go straight to worst case scenario. I have to make a conscious effort to reprogram my thinking. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyway, I'll work on the not falling thing. Definitely something I do not recommend.

Hey Jerry loved your recap of 2024 amazing videos and yes as you get older things can happen. Had open heart surgery in August and up to 3 miles a day on the treadmill getting ready for some winter hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains where we live. Not what I expected being a runner my whole life but you out run your genes. I’m going within my 70 year old abilities and going with the flow and loving it 😊

That's awesome you're back out there. Our plan is similar; do as much as we can within our limits every year. I know a couple of 70+ year olds that I can't keep up with, so hopefully we can all turn out like that, right? Gotta keep moving to be able to keep moving.

And for whatever it's worth, at least partly because of you and Clint, I'm finally trying to gather the stuff I need to do a couple of backpacking trips I've dreamed of for many years. Doubt I'll get to them this year, too much else going on and I'm still short of funds for everything I need, but maybe I'll have all the gear in place and be able to plan one for 2026. Beautiful stuff as always. Hope you find the right line between I'm older and need to figure out where the limit is now and I still want to adventure. Happy New Year.

Definitely not a farewell. I've got more videos done and am very actively planning 2025 trips. This video started as me feeling sorry for myself, but as I was putting it together I realized I didn't have anything to feel bad about.

Jerry and Tina - thank you! Love the videos and they’ve led us to many hikes we wouldn’t otherwise have done. Fishers Towers remains one of our favourites and we owe it to you both. As Dylan Thomas wrote: rage against the dying of the light. Best wishes for 2025!

[@JerryArizona]

Haha! Right after I climbed the Hand, I immediately thought "I want to climb that spire at Fisher Towers". So you could say I've learned my lesson about aging and taking it easy.

[@musicoflife2]

Thank you for sharing! It helped me. My mom just recently passed away. Your video inspired me to want to go more places but also to go with the flow more.😊

[@JerryArizona]

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you find plenty of adventure and happiness in 2025.

[@srameypr]

I think one of the greatest challenges of aging is making adjustments as our bodies become more and more limiting. But since I found your channel partway through the year, I knew nothing about your injuries/hospitalizations and their impact on your plans. I would have never guessed because you guys have done so many amazing hikes that most people just dream about. I've really enjoyed your adventures.

[@michaelyates3424]

Always enjoy your videos and give yourself a break. Plans are a good thought exercise that help identify priorities, life then happens and you either go with the flow or get stuck. You went with the flow and had a good year. I was very impressed with your last video rock climbing, I wasn't expecting that. So keep enjoying life and making videos and I will be happy to watch.

[@JerryArizona]

That one was a lot of fun. Moonjuice (and Troy) was especially great at prodding me to get out there. He said it would be awesome. And he was right.

[@pm1492]

Thanks for letting us ride along on your adventures, Keep on keep'n on! Wow, for not accomplishing all you planned, you guys did a LOT!! Awesome!

[@christopherjames1453]

Many thanks and many prayers!!!!

[@josephclark8946]

As a long time subscriber It is my heartfelt wish that you and Tina have a wonderful New Year! And that you continue to take us with you on these adventures to places we likely would never otherwise see. Your videography skills are top notch and the humor and chemistry between the two of you is the icing on the cake. Please be safe out there and remember to enjoy yourselves and may you long continue. Thank You 🙏

[@JerryArizona]

You're very welcome. Really glad you like the videos. I just enjoy making them. Probably as much as I love getting outdoors.

[@davidcanaday7398]

I think I've followed you to at least a dozen locations. Recognize it or not, you two inspire. Thank you for this year, and hoping you will continue to lead us to more great adventures,

[@danielc.8006]

Im almost to five years as a subscriber and you continue to impress. Thanks for all the videos!

[@JerryArizona]

Thanks for watching all this time!

[@soniaaugusto6492]

Thank you for all beautiful videos and particularly for this video! It was the right video with the right message at the right time for me! Happy 2025!

[@JerryArizona]

@@soniaaugusto6492 wasn’t feeling great about 2024. But putting this together showed me it wasn’t all bad. Easy to forget that.

[@westcoastislander6699]

Thank you so much for this! We have taken much inspiration from your videos. We have done many of these hikes ourselves and they bring back fond memories. Two and a half years ago we moved 600 miles away from our home of 25 years, got new jobs, and built a house (that we're still finishing). I settled into our new life while rehabbing a knee injury that severely curtailed my hiking abilities. I am turning 60 this coming year. Sometimes I feel constricted and overwhelmed by the life we chose to change. But it's all good. The house will get finished, I like my new job and the knee is improving. We also have an unlimited amount of outdoor adventures from our doorstep. We are exceedingly fortunate to have the life that we do. So, thanks for your words if wisdom, Jerry. Life, in part, is what you make it and when it goes sideways we just have to "go with the flow" and find a different adventure. Looking forward to more of your beautiful videos. Thanks for the inspiration and Happy New Year!

[@jwhoward182]

I thought I had a mild case of kidney stones after hiking Kanab/Page. Doctor visit found my family history of coronary issues caught up to me after a lifetime of running, cycling, mountain climbing and hiking. It can be worse. My wife just came in the room and said, “what’s so funny?” I said I wasn’t laughing, she said “you have a big smile on your face.” I am watching the latest episode of Jerry Arizona. Your content got me through 2024 while I worked through a lot of tests. Thank you so much - it’s beyond wonderful.

[@JerryArizona]

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can get a decent prognosis and treatment and get back out there. Tina and I have talked a lot about how we'll have to adjust our lifestyles as we age. Shorter hikes, more overlooks, maybe an RV or razor eventually. I dunno. But we'll figure out something. Hope you can as well.

[@TimmyCramer]

Moon valley was my hood for 2 decades and 4 homes. Another awesome video guys. Timmy C Arizona p.s. The Pixies kick ass.

[@JerryArizona]

@@TimmyCramer I have all their albums. I consider that one of the greatest songs ever.

[@TimmyCramer]

@JerryArizona Seen them play in Chicago 20 yrs ago the night my uncle Pat the fireman died after fighting. A fire....my last concert. Tell Tina howdy from Cramer.

[@DanitaReynolds]

Thank you for this. As your wife would say "it is beautiful." We humans remember the bad times more and for some weird reason the the good times less. In the end the good times usually out weigh the bad ones. You both sure have had some amazing times. My husband and I are huge nature lovers and each year we go exploring. I'm in my 60's and he is in his 70s now and we have noticed a considerable change in our bodies. We can no longer go on long hikes, carry heavy camp packs, or be in high altitudes but this hasn't stopped us from getting out there because there are still so many beautiful places that we can adventure to in our 4x4.

[@JerryArizona]

We plan to get an RV or razor or something when we can't get around as well. Just gotta adjust as we go, I guess.

[@DanitaReynolds]

@ we bought a 4x4 truck and hauled our camping gear to remote wildernesses for years and then almost two years ago we bought a Four Wheel slide-in pop-up camper for the truck. Four Wheel Campers is the name of the company. We love that it sits lower and has a low center of gravity. Our 3/4 ton truck doesn’t even know it’s carrying it and we can take it on remote adventures. It’s been a game changer for us.

[@dmerth]

Dude! Your content and editing skills still rock and dare I say, have gotten better. Each year I've looked forward to your end of year wrap up video to inspire my next and future trips to Utah/Arizona. This one did not disappoint. It's inspired me to begin planning the next trip for February. Thank you Jerry and Tina!

[@hayhoo02]

Jerry I’m sorry to hear that you broke two ribs and what appears to be another medical issue/scare but I do hope you are recovering and doing better. To you and Tina with all of your great accomplishments and activities, I cannot thank you enough and I hope that I can experience those beautiful places in Utah one day very soon I hope. Your content inspires me and love watching whether I am working out in my basement or relaxing on the couch. I’ve tried a couple of new things this year that were scary and getting outside helps me with my stress and anxiety to get grounded. Thank you for all that you do and best wishes for 2025 to you both

[@JourneyBeyondOverland]

This is awesome! So glad you didn't let injuries stop you from getting back out there. I have a similar tale this year (but only one, not three like you!) While filming the first day on trail of a three week trip, I fell through the floor of a cave, and injured my foot. An orthopedic boot got me through the next 16 days and 4,000 miles of driving trail, a little walking (I couldnt sit out at White Pocket or the north rim!) and filming, but it turned out I'd broken 6 bones, dislocated 2 joints, and torn the tendon that holds your foot together. One surgery, two screws, and 6 weeks on a peg leg crutch later, I need to get myself back off this couch and out to the wilderness again soon. People with me when I broke my foot think I'm a badass....but I'm definitely feeling like a clumsy old lady instead. I just don't bounce as well as I used to. Thanks to you and Tina for continuing inspiration to explore.

[@JerryArizona]

I dunno. You sound like a badass to me. (And don't worry; none of us bounce that well anymore.)

[@garthsaalfield3846]

‘Most’ all your videos are awesome! Besides, you’re with the woman of my dreams and as long as you two care and respect each other, I love you both 💕! Thanks for taking us along on some really epic trips! You keep going, we’ll keep watching 🙏!

[@LifeIsBetterByTheBrook]

Pursue your dreams, but listen to your body. I can't do all the things that I could do when I was younger, but I can still do what I love. I began backpacking again in my 60s. I've learned that hiking slower allows me to stop and appreciate all the beauty nature has to offer. I'll keep at it until I can't. Happy New Year!

[@JerryArizona]

Yup. I've kinda enjoyed slowing down a bit.

[@joeshmoe1739]

Congrats on a great year! So glad you guys made it to Oregon. We are all getting older, and our limitations become more apparent every year, at least for me anyway. My mind still says “go”, but the body is different. Thanks to you and Tina for sharing your adventures. Happy new year to you guys. Reset for 2025!🎉

[@richardbeee]

Been a real trip. Hope you share more in 25. Always enjoy you two.😊

[@JerryArizona]

I edited this in order. It started as a 'look at all the bad things that happened', but when I got into the footage from the year, I started wondering what exactly I was complaining about. So I kinda hit the realization in real time here. It's been an incredible year, even if it wasn't the year I had planned. Figured I can't be the only one with a tendency to focus on the negative. Hopefully it helps someone figure that out sooner.

[@ropersix]

It looks like it was a beautiful, enjoyable year to me (except for the hospital stuff). Happy New Year to you and Tina.

[@ronmarsalis941]

You guys are a huge inspiration, Hard stop. Instead of beating yourself up you should be giving yourself a pat on the back. I’ve got a just couple of years on you, but you’ve been a primary pusher for me getting out there after my retirement. Thanks for all the inspiration in 2024.

[@TrishaMorrison-c1o]

Two extraordinary people sharing your amazing adventures with others. Thanks for taking us along. Love seeing your hikes and going on some of them as we can. To better health and safe adventures now and in the coming years!

[@CoasttoCoastOutdoorAdventures]

Excellent video Sir! Happy New Year to you and yours.

[@JerryArizona]

Happy new year!

[@leannaerickson9745]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventures with us. You and your crew probably have a few good miles on you. Use them wisely, enjoy them, and happy New Year.

[@WJr_88]

Thanks for the ride along on your awesome adventures! This video is an epic ending for your 2024. I'm excited for your 2025 season! Thank you very much and Happy New Year!

[@kitkit5515]

I don’t know who you are but you are an inspiration. You are living life to the fullest. As a cancer survivor my balance sucks due to all the chemo and I love hiking and traveling but I still do it nothing will stop me but I am scared because for me I do see limitations which sucks maybe easier hikes 😅. I hope 2025 brings you more lovely adventures

[@truckcamper_felix]

such a great video of the year !👍🏻💪🏻 Real cinematography, congrats Jerry & Tina !🎉 Looking forward to 2025 with best wishes...for a good health ! Cheers from Germany 🍻

[@sdmoller]

Great video. Great editing and content as well as your synopsis at the end. I think we are in the same age group +/- a few years but I admire your adventures.

[@williamsedlock3903]

That's exactly right what you have seen is more than some people ever see your video was beautiful this is something I always thought I would do when very hard to retire at the age 0f 55 but after breaking my back 360 dislocating my shoulders and hip and so on I know now that I will never be able to hike any longer or go on the adventures that I always look forward to doing so never stop you are blessed

[@JerryArizona]

Sorry to hear that. I'm learning to appreciate what I can do, even if it's not as extreme as what I used to do. Hopefully you can get out there and still enjoy the outdoors, albeit from a lesser capacity. There are still plenty of drive up overlooks and similar adventures that are amazing. Even just driving out and camping on BLM property can scratch that itch for me. Gotta remind ourselves that what we can do today may not be as much as yesterday, but it's probably more than we can do tomorrow.

[@eddieglovestrees]

Jerry and Tina happy new year love the videos content and outtakes enjoy catch ya next year

[@vincentlamoureux422]

What a wonderful video! And your 2024 was a success in all respects! Kudos on the editing synched with the music and the great photography!

[@jamesstrader9059]

Stunning scenery. Most people don't see as much beauty in a lifetime as you saw in one year. Tina always looks great in the pictures as well.
