10 years ago bro ... Glad you republished! I spent all summer running around the sierra. It's just so good.

Incredible footage. Incredible journey. Thank you for your hard work of documenting it all!

[@nathanrieck2112]

I love your videos i just recently found your channel from neemor's so now I'm catching up on your videos, I always use to wonder about altitude sickness, I had never gotten it before, but had hiked with people who did get it. When I hiked over Forester pass on the JMT at 13,200 feet and felt fine I thought nothing of it, but that last 500 or so feet up Mt. Whitney was the hardest of my life, after the "windows" and up I felt sick to my stomach head was pounding and nauseas. It was so bad, it taught me to feel more compassion for people who get it at super lower altitudes(like as low as 7-8,000 feet)

Your video's are amazing. I can't comprehend how your channel hasn't exploded with subs. Anyways keep on inspiring other to explore!

[@JohnZahorian]

+Dadang Sudiyanto thanks!

[@CXYCourtney]

I might have a stress fracture. *chuckles You're videos are prime cause it's not your typical vlog with unnecessary commentary or shots. Love the shots and description of the terrain!

[@RowdyPenguin]

Outstanding videos of the PCT. Great production quality. I'm so motivated now to work on hiking the PCT. Thanks John!!

[@JohnZahorian]

Thanks! Get it!!! PCT is wonderful

[@sarahjohnson1139]

“bro did you ever see anything like that on the AT?” 😂

[@jpstubblebine]

[@JohnZahorian]

thank you!

[@Yourname3000]

Nicely done ~

[@jeremywerlin]

Cool cameo by Swami.

[@ChuckerThe1]

Hey John- awesome videos...By any chance is that Cam of "thehikinglife" @ 6:23 of this video?? If so..funny to run into him at the top of a pass like that!

[@danbolton3180]

O.K. rattle snakes, poodle dog bush, black bears, and a mountain lion. I thought I might like to try this someday, but I'm changing my mind. I was hiking Mt. Adams a few years ago and I had the feeling I was being watched from above. I don't know if I could take that for 2600 miles.

[@JohnZahorian]

+Dan Bolton it's much more of a mind game than there being any significant danger. it is very normal to be paranoid in a new environment. the more time you spend there the less anxious you get. (hearing animals in the night still always gets my blood pumping, though)

[@kan-zee]

16:09 wow...that is some SHOE BLOW OUT !! Duct Tape Medic

[@chaser2283]

Hey John was curious when and where you started carrying your bear canister along with you on the pct? Love each one of your videos keep up the great work and thank you for all your advice!

[@JohnZahorian]

+Chaser22 thanks! kennedy meadows at mile 700 is the spot for northbound thru hikers. then you can send it away if you hitch out at sonora pass or at echo lake / south lake tahoe a little bit later.

[@chaser2283]

+John Zahorian Awesome dude thank you so much! Take care

[@davidsixtwo]

Good stuff! Did you end up having a fracture? Did you take time off or did things resolve on their own?

[@kdash5488]

Awesome videos. Did you use a bear canister?

[@JohnZahorian]

+Kayvan Farzaneh thanks! yep, bv500

[@SummitSeeker546]

Wow, you mention being on trail for 8 days without a resupply. What is a typical days worth of food and how much food weight are you packing?

[@SummitSeeker546]

How many calories do you try to consume per day?

[@liamwhite5529]

Summit Seeker not sure on this specific trip but he mentions in one video that he was consuming 6000 calories a day
