Rows and flows of angel hair. And ice cream castles in the air. And feather canyons everywhere.

[@robertligas250]

You’re blowing me away at the miles you start off with you said I think that you were a marathon runner?

[@roncross1945]

Thank you for the views from Mount Baden-Powell. It’s been a few years since I was there. Your comprehensive video show things have not changed.

[@TheDoddsworth]

Thanks again for going through the trouble of vlogging your trek. It helps another old guy who will be on the trail next year. I'll need to up my fitness a bit to get close to your pace.

[@felipericketts]

I appreciate the unique perspective you bring to your hike. Your methodical approach brings this important message to me: prepare! Test your strength and be ready before you go out there. More likely to succeed and enjoy the journey. Take cafe and stay ell. :-)

Thanks for taking the time to do the Vblog. Great to see you doing the big miles. Will be interesting to see how it plays our for you. With the miles you are doing I am sure you have some goals in mind. I would be great if you took the time to express them.... I am curious how much food (weight or calories) you are packing from Acton to Kennedy Meadows?? I was going to do the AT this this year, but postponed it due to the closure of the Smokies to through hikers.... So I am doing some hiking in the Sierras and the Colorado trail instead. AT in 2021

[@oldmanandtheat3093]

I took too few calories per day. Needing to put on some weight in KM before I enter the Sierra.

[@jeffreyrule8143]

Great Mileage. Your effort will help motivate me to run my own self supported marathon in San Diego this Sunday. Hike On. 🥾

[@darciclark4991]

Yer hilarious!!! I just found your vlogs and can’t wait to keep following your journey. You remind me so much of my dad who retired from the federal government finally 2 years ago and was in the USAF reserves all of my life. In fact after I was born it was 8 months later he quit active duty. Be safe!!!

[@rj7411]

Atta boy! Thanks for sharing your journey. Very inspiring. All the best the rest of the way.

[@CO-ox9eq]

I'm just understanding what "It's all good", "No worries"' might really mean. Thank you for your excellent vlog and adventures!

[@Lillwm747]

Great video! Thank you for sharing!

[@donnafisher5374]

I'm sure enjoying watching your video good luck on completing pct.

[@margotb3634]

Just a clarification. Baden is pronounced BAY-den.

[@martinjeanne1836]

Really enjoying your videos. Can't believe the miles you're doing. Since you call yourself the "old man" wondered your age, 55? My son and his wife are ahead of you at Walker Pass. Think he beats your age. He's 64. He's also posting videos. Keep going strong. Will keep watching with interest.

[@markcummings6856]

57

[@mathewalves5203]

thanks young man

[@TomHale]

Great job. Can I ask how you exit your videos? Do you use an iPad or your phone and what editing software?

[@oldmanandtheat3093]

I use Kinemaster. Very easy to use.

[@ThisRightSideUp]

Too funny!! Just beware of those white things in your head that bite!

[@chrislonsberry4571]

LOL, those white things! Enjoying your videos!

[@hope2someday691]

Curiosity spiked with the monument you are sitting on. I’ve not seen it before and do not know what it’s for???

[@johndavis7495]

Hope2 Someday I’ve been on that peak many times, it is a monument to Lord Baden Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts.

[@delmorejr1950]

Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts.

[@MHemstead]

You call yourself old!? How old? I want to do the Oregon section of the PCT and I am old!

[@honeycurrentcook4967]

My brother is 57 years old. He took the moniker “Oldman and the Sea” from Hemingway’s novel. He is taking on his own beast - the PCT.

[@oldmanandtheat3093]

57 years old. Technically, that is old for a thru-hiker.

[@markcummings6856]

Old Man and the PCT 43% of thru hikers per year on the AT are retirees.

[@W8tNbLEed86]

Those are giant marshmallows. You were supposed to get chocolate and graham crackers in town lol

[@Jan.harvey]

So funny about those over hanging white things.

[@LordQuiche]

Good vid, keep at it!

[@badderthanyou]

What are you drinking? Looks like diluted coffee.
