John Muir Trail Episode 5: Muir Pass

[@EpidemicPop]

Wow we love this! Such a beautiful landscape!

[@FollowBigfoot]

+Epidemic Sound It was transcendent. No words to describe.

[@JMS407]

The views and clarity of the water is unreal.

[@TYNelson]

Such a beautiful trail. Thanks for sharing as always!

[@KMC3050]

Really beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey- it's been fun to watch!

[@MrJoebmxer]

You got some great weather and fantastic views! I'm jealous because I need to do this hike in my lifetime and also happy for you that you did get to do it and shared so much with us. Thanks for that! JoeBmxer

+Joe Grimaldi Thanks Joe!

[@KrizAkoni]

Absolutely stunning! I must put this section of hike on my list!

[@FollowBigfoot]

+KrizAkoni A must!!!

[@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

Thank you Bigfoot for doing such a great job on your Vlogs. Your subscribers are so fortunate to have you bringing such realism to each video which makes me feel like I am right there. One particular shot today was of the water, the blue was magnificent. Take care

[@FollowBigfoot]

+Warren Davidson It was crystal crystal clear. It tasted as good as it looked!

[@stanthemanhikes2965]

wow can't believe how close you were to the bear!

[@FollowBigfoot]

+Stan the Man Hikes He was so relaxed when he say me, which is about the opposite that I experienced on the AT

[@johnnelson5997]

Nice video, that water looks great

[@FollowBigfoot]

+John Nelson Water was sooooo clear. It's was damn tasty too!

[@melvinhowell5469]

Thank you...absolutely beautiful!

[@karmaclanton5544]

Very good video, enjoyed greatly, thanks for sharing!!!😀👍🤗

[@FollowBigfoot]

+Karma Clanton Thanks Karma!

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Awesome shelter and cool views

[@balkandancer]

Great videos, looks/sounds like you're doing good with the elevation, don't think you'll have any trouble dealing with the 13-14K level. Mt. Whitney's been on my list for years, go for it.

[@FollowBigfoot]

+balkandancer Thanks. I was lucky that my body adjusted very well to the altitudes. Before this hike I don't know that I had touched much over 10K.

[@kellirustin7944]

The first bear on the JMT I've seen from all the hikers I follow! I suppose that darn heavy bear can is actually necessary 😬 Fabulous video

[@FollowBigfoot]

+Kelli Rustin I had to hurry and grab my phone out to capture him on the trail. He was so relaxed when he saw me which was kind of surprising

[@fbnc11]

That was excellent!

[@outdoorswithmagnum]

loving the music with videos man!! great job!!!

[@FollowBigfoot]

+Magnum on the AT 👍

[@heulefamily]

Woah! That bear was so close!

[@FollowBigfoot]

+Katie Heule I didn't even see him until I turned the corner and he just nonchalantly jumped off the trail and went around me and jumped back on the Trail

[@mountainmuse]

Would love to hike the JMT (and PCT, and AT, and TA) lol. Thinking of perhaps starting at Mammoth to fit it into a 2 week trip from where I live (VA).

[@FollowBigfoot]

+MountainMuse Would you just do Mammoth to Whitney?

[@thomaseagen4674]

I would like to hear your comments on the Zpacks single wall tent in regards to condensation vs a double wall tent such as a Big Agnes. Thank you. Love your videos.

[@FollowBigfoot]

+Thomas Eagen You have condensation on the Duplex. Any single wall tent will have this regardless who makes it. What I have been doing is pitching the Duplex up an extra inch or two and it pulls the bathtub floor up that much and now I have no issues with my sleeping bad touching the ceiling and getting wet. Since I've been doing that I have no issues with the condensation on the ceiling getting on any of my gear. I am 5'8" so that also plays into it as not being very tall either. After close to 3000 miles on my Duplex, I love it more than ever (and I own a Big Agnes too)

[@abram860]

I may have missed it, but are you going to do a post hike gear review video? Great videos! Continued loyal follower here. JMT '18

[@FollowBigfoot]

+Abram Rodd you betcha. I'll be reviewing every item that is new in my pack individually as well throughout the next couple months (each Thursday)

[@TimoteoDelCielo]

Follow Bigfoot great videos... looking forward to your reviews... particularly in regards to lighter1.

[@k6lsn]

So glad the hut was open! :) Was there still a ledger or guest book? Must have been great to swing that door open. John Muir was a badass :) Grateful for forefathers such as him. That Bear looked healthy and the Deer also. Thanks again for filming and sharing this as I myself wouldn't be able to see it otherwise. Peace, Wheelchair John in Idaho :)

[@FollowBigfoot]

+k6lsn I didn't see any log book, someone should bring one up there so we can have one. It was pretty damn cool to go in there! You are very welcome!

[@jimb6683]

How many calories did you budget per day? Really enjoying the videos

[@FollowBigfoot]

+Hank Hill I was somewhere around 4000-4300 cals. I was eating two meals every night which was a huge bump for me

[@jimb6683]

How many pounds of food would you guess you left VVR with? Your a beast! Love the videos...

[@FollowBigfoot]

+Hank Hill I bet I had 15-16 lbs

[@tiennguyen-bu2vd]

Cool

[@JMS407]

Did you have a tough time slowing yourself down from your through hiking pace of the AT?

[@FollowBigfoot]

+Joshua Swanson Sometimes more so when I got in a groove. I didn't have any problems stopping and relaxing and taking it all in. It was incredible

[@JMS407]

Any breathing concerns with the crazy elevations?

[@tiennguyen-bu2vd]

Wow

[@kibashisiyoto6771]

What? No picture of the rock monster?
