Hot toots are a very real thing. I felt that in my soul. 😳😆

Just wanted to say, excellent editing and creation for these videos. Been great to watch. Its clear how much time you put into making these vids. Well done.

[@derekandkaty4593]

Only took 6 months to get around to it. We wanted to try and create a different style JMT video. Glad you’re enjoying them🍺

Great 2nd episode. Keep them coming!

[@clarkbroyles1712]

Great footage and I laughed out loud at the comments about Pinchot pass. I remember coming up with new and completely innappropriate names for several of the passes as I was huffing and puffing up to the top. Still, one of the greatest experiences of my life. Thanks for the reminder of all of it.

[@derekandkaty4593]

I still maintain Pinchot was the worst. Glen was collectively the pass everyone hated the most outside. We do t talk about Muir but Muir was relentless and people kept telling us how close we were and it was still 2 hours away. All fond memories now.

Incredible!

“So, uh…11 miles, up a pass” after just going down the list of all the things that suck. I felt that. 😂

Another great video.

Fantastic. Can’t wait for #3!

[@derekandkaty4593]

Thanks! Aiming to dump it on Wednesday or Thursday🍺

Amazing job again. Can’t wait to watch the next one. Try using trail runners to avoid foot issues like pain and blisters. IMO, the extra agility also helps protect ankles on rocky terrain when you slip.

While I am very much enjoy your video, I wish you should show more of these stunning lakes, and the more route information too, so people we use it as an kind of a tour guide

It was perfect. Largely what I wore all day, everyday and an absolute steal for the price .

Vids are great but Katy I have to say whining is not becoming Derek, Derek suck it up and be the man to get your woman through the hike.
