Starting a Sobo Thru-Hike :: PCT 1

[@sinfonianbarelytone9191]

Just wow! I know I need to at least hike the Washingon section of the PCT. I've not been there but hiked all around it. The popular areas are a lottery to hike there. Yes Washington is wet, that's why it's so green. But it's also why I asked you about how waterproof the Challenger is. This weekend starts the wet season and I'll be hiking and camping in the rain often. Your experience will be invaluable. Thanks for sharing and good luck on your thru hike.

[@oneofmanyhobbies91]

I followed you from the very first AT video. Just keep walking man. Ive enjoyed them all the way over here in Japan.

[@latitude918]

Best of luck! Look forward to the vlogs

[@flashmanv3260]

[@Brian_yeah_that_brian_Strang]

That's awesome you had your mom there

[@marymk94]

good luck man!!! can't wait to see your adventure.. and all them views :D

[@Larry3043]

Great to see your back on the trail and man the views in just the first few miles are just awesome. Why didn't you just start in Canada and go south or you couldn't wait to get on trail? Anyways love your videos, keep hiking and happy trails.

[@patrickmtx]

Larry3043 it’s illegal to cross into the us from Canada unless at an official port so you have to go north first

[@mountaincat8]

The views ARE AMAZING!! ..... so on any day, if it is raining, will you hike or stay in your tent or a bit of both?

[@NeemorsWorld]

+mountaincat8 lately I've been hiking in the rain. It all depends on how much food I have.

[@TheUrbanHunterz]

So cool

[@raywhatley2201]

Hi! I am watching all the hikers on the PCT this year and it made me wonder. Heading southbound, what was youre experience like with mosquitos? All of the northbounders this year are being ate up.

[@NeemorsWorld]

I didn't have it too bad with mosquitoes. I remember 2-3 really bad nights in southern Washington where I had to pitch my tent quickly to avoid being swarmed but other than that I didn't have any extraordinarily bad mosquito experiences.

[@farklemybrainsout]

Hey Neemor, what was your start date for this hike? Im going to do a SOBO this year and I'm looking for a good date to start.

[@NeemorsWorld]

+farklemybrainsout hey! I started on July 15th.

[@filmic1]

Very cool. I have to agree with Gary F.

[@ChrisfromFL]

I enjoyed your AT videos, and really looking forward to watching my first SOBO PCT trip. Why SOBO??

[@NeemorsWorld]

+ChrisfromFL thanks! Going south just worked out with timing this year. I would have had to wait till next year if i wanted to go nobo.

[@ninjatops99]

Hey Neemor, have you thought about making a video in regards to the backtracking required to go SoBo? All of Canada’s laws and regulations 😒

[@NeemorsWorld]

I haven’t really thought about it yet. I just hiked into Canada and got a ride back via the fam.

[@ninjatops99]

Neemor's World apparently there is a very steep fine of 5k if you get caught crossing the border through manning park - not the way you did it though... The only legal way is by backtracking. It’s just crazy.

[@martinriemenschneider3998]

Wish you the best. Greetings from Germany

[@joesugarman1355]

Good luck! Just out of curiosity, is there an official border crossing where you have to show a passport?

[@NeemorsWorld]

+Joe Sugarman nope, you just walk in.

[@abbymccarthy6598]

I am really loving your channel so far, I appreciate all the efforts you put into making these. Plotting my 2018 now from the comfortable warmth of my home in NY. Question- how is it that you know how many miles that you have done? Do you use Guthooks or a Suunto, or just on land marks?

[@NeemorsWorld]

+Abby McCarthy hey! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! Yup, I used Guthook on this hike.

[@abbymccarthy6598]

Thanks so much for getting back to me, much appreciated

[@znicholas145]

Aroha?! Yep.

[@forto176]

Great Videos Neemor. Thanks for sharing. Quick Question: how often were you able to upload PCT videos while hiking? Also did you do the editing on a laptop or on Ipad? Thanks again

[@NeemorsWorld]

+F Ortogni thanks! I edited the videos on my iPad and uploaded every couple of towns. I would usually upload 2-3 videos at a time and then schedule them to be published while I was on trail.

[@forto176]

Thanks man, awesome to know! One last question, what editing program did you use?

[@NeemorsWorld]

+F Ortogni yeah, no problem! I used pinnacle studio.

[@markscott4059]

Are shooting on the Panasonic g7?

[@NeemorsWorld]

No. This was the Sony rx100 mk4

[@shofarox4037]

Hey what about the tent that you are using can you put the brand, model or sort of...? Thanks

[@NeemorsWorld]

It is the Zpacks Solplex

[@shofarox4037]

No I mean the one that shows up in the current video the on with forest cameo

[@NeemorsWorld]

yup, that;s the Zpacks Solplex. the camo cuben is a feature you can order.
