Pacific Crest Trail 10 Minute Thru-hike

[@scottfarrell8764]

The best part is the spider catching the mosquito and your devilishly "yes!" reaction. Lol!

[@07Rebel]

Definitely an amazing shot. I had to take screen capture of the moment.

[@OurNationalAdventure]

The editing that went into this! Every second was just phenomenal to watch. Beautiful, fantastic! And then you made it. The fires, the floods, the snow, the mosquitos, the broken toe nails...just incredible to watch. My husband watched earlier last week and said this was a must watch. So true. You are awesome! -Alison

[@imallierambles]

Lol!! One of my favorite quotes from you ever “ maybe it won’t be so dang gone windy if they’d turn these fans off!” Thank you for sharing your beautiful, amazing trek again Dixie! Happy Trails! ❤️⛰🏜

[@Ryan_hey]

That quote was freaking hilarious.

[@KimberlyGreen]

I am unreasonably caught up in the successes of this woman. Dixie you are a powerful, awe-inspiring woman.

[@OttawaOldFart]

Very early on I suggested she get into motivational speaking as she is a compelling story teller. She has had some talks which is good.

[@tanstaafl1960]

Not at all unreasonable.

[@billybastar4022]

What...she’s a woman? I didn’t notice...I just saw a total badass human!!!! You are an inspiration to all of us....I would love to be on the trail on day see you out there...that would mean I was doing something almost as badass as you...my luck i would run into you at a REI buying a buckle 😂

[@danielmitchell6940]

I would love to just quit everything and hit a trail. Caught up in the rat race and the rats are winning. Thank you for your videos. Showing us what life should be like.

[@annefaseler8514]

your music choices fit the stunning scenery: excellent summary of a gorgeous thru hike!

[@suzannehedderly1331]

The scenery is so scary beautiful...and the end emotional just watching it. Thank you (and Aaron!) ❤️

[@ebc371]

Your cinematography is as good as anything I've ever seen on nature or National Geographic. Thank you for sharing

[@Desperoro]

check Elina Osborne ;)

[@RhondaGraceExploring]

I get all misty eyed every time I see a thru hiker tag the end of a long journey. It's so damn amazing! Your awesome! 😉👍🏼💗👣

[@emersauce]

I surprised myself by getting teary at the end too, AH it’s so fulfilling!

[@toocleanpappas5397]

Was so cool watching this after completing it a few weeks ago. This year was so different. I jumped up ahead from Warner to Wrightwood then to Kennedy Meadows, back down to Warner, and went Wrightwood and back up to Kennedy. Can ya tell I wanted to miss the snow on San Jacinto? But what was so weird was seeing all your shots of the Sierra. There were so few people this year many of the passes I did alone. When I first jumped up to Wrightwood I spent the next full month without seeing another hiker (day or thru). It was strange but amazing. Felt like what the trail probably felt like back in the '70s. CDT next year to work on my Triple Crown. (crossing fingers) I still give you credit for making this hiking lifestyle possible for me. That tip about renting your place out made all this possible. Much love, -Too Clean

[@LARUSAMEXICANA]

This video is so beautiful!!!!

[@tzubin99]

This one hell of a fantastic video

[@matooleyobrien2918]

All them people would RUIN It for me...IHave Always loved the Solitude in the great outdoors..hiking,fishing,hunting,camping...AWAY From people.😇

[@billcannon6405]

Thank you

[@johnprisk]

Wow - congratulations. And thanks for sharing a little of the journey with us. Your adventure here was epic and took a lot of inner strength to see through from end to end. Outstanding.

[@SunxSurfxSand]

I can’t imagine being alone in those mountains. You are so brave!

[@bz4freedom187]

Ya wow ..just watched it for a second and third time its the best video I've ever seen thank you Dixie ! You are a literal bad ass ! Congrats !

[@Desperoro]

So cool, you are very special in shooting animals, even tiny mosquitoes, you really see the power of nature

[@tamez76]

Thank you because of you I started hikin !!!

[@jenniferlawrence1372]

This brings back the fear I felt watching you at that raging creek the first time, and the relief and gratitude I felt when the guys came along and adopted you.

[@evermar1]

Dixie, you are inspirational and impressive!

[@LinkusMaximus]

Your videos are just perfect. Thank you, Dixie. You're a true gem to the backpacker world.

[@cortlandwheeler4337]

The PCT is the long distance thru hike trail that most appeals to me--so super glad you posted this 10 min summary video. Thanks Dixie 😃

[@cortlandwheeler4337]

@Old Toby I have actually considered hiking it South Bound. I know water scarcity in the desert can be greater on a SOBO journey and I wonder if fire closures could be more of an issue since I'd be starting later in the year.

[@mr.perfect5303]

L9ve this condensed version. Cool hike i hope to do someday.

[@PacificNorthwestBowhunting]

Simply EPIC!! 🎉

[@ReeWrayOutdoors]

I didn't think it'd be possible to recreate the epic nature of this thru hike in a 10 minute fly-by, but damn girl... you hit it out of the park! Even nailing the timing of the track climax with your hand touching the northern terminus marker. Seriously epic. Bravo!

[@CoachAdamRuns]

Awesome awesome. Thank you for making this video. Inspiring.

[@scottandersen420]

You are so way cool! An inspiration to us all!

[@zenleeparadise]

I wanna go so bad that I’m gonna cry.

[@frankjones3671]

This gorgeous awesome amazing wows girl wows wezzz ideeds beautiful 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ wows alreadies she sos great at hiking & backpacking really awesome

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

AWE PISS! now I have to watch the whole hikeumentary! =D what do you do in the winter? I JUST WANNA GO OUTSIDE ANYWYA! WINTER CAMPING i love you!

[@Henning_Rech]

Dixie is on the Pinhoti trail in the moment - videos coming soon. - Alabama is not Florida, but still no real winter there.

[@caseyhayes4590]

From 1:00 to 3:00 is my frequent hiking/backpacking grounds and makes me think I've been lucky with snakes/scorpions/water crossings compared to what I see on this trip! Probably because I go mostly in late summer and fall and I'm guessing she was there in spring/early summer?

[@JessFasho]

Great video!! I really enjoyed watching this

[@Arciaga]

This makes me wanderlust the trail so much. I can't wait for my girlfriend and I to hike the AT and PCT. Also, how is Perk doing? I hope he's doing well!

[@clarkansas6590]

Dang, I didn’t want this one to end. Good job and Congratulations.

[@wllymchng]

Thanks for posting these videos. They have been amazing

[@robertrockwell7581]

love seeing these trails again through your eyes. the Sierra's were crazy that year. stay safe and sorry too hear about your family member. hugs your way.

[@virtualtrails1617]

Hello, since i've watched the full series of the PCT that i have something in my mind. What are the chances of completing the thru hike if you are terrified of snakes :) ( Or just surviving 1 week in the desert :) )

[@michaelmurad9531]

Inspirational!

[@DRFelGood]

I tip my helmet 🚒 to you for not listening to the sheepeople . Everyone has their limits ! I’m excited for you. 💞 I worked building PCT through the Angeles NF (northern end) I love this quote “One mans (or woman) ceiling is another mans(or women’s) floor” xx Jesse

[@roosterillusion1985]

I watched your whole PCT series before my 2019 thru hike and now watching this has brought back so many memories for me. I don't know if you can recall but I bumped into you on the trail and in Packwood :)

[@barryhopesgthope686]

This wasn't the first time you made the PCT! Great work. Sorry Dixie I haven't watched you for a while. Forgive me?

[@28105wsking]

"REd touch black/good for Jack!/ Red touch yellow,/ kill a fellow! You have a corn snake, not a coral snake. Oh whew! and ain't he gorgeous? (Watch the language, please. Little kids are watching, and we want them to, so they grow up right. Thank you.)

[@76thomasmatt]

What camera did you use for this? From an AT (2003) hiker now living in CA to you, well done! Inspiring!

[@drobertjacobs]

So what did you think of the PCT. Verses application? I did Muir trail 54 years ago. There were no bridges and trail disappeared often lots of fords and ledges yes? I met up with a Wolverine I was the last person to do so in about 90 years sighting the only one in California in person Till recently I fell off of the Minerets near mammoth about 400-500 feet and survived but was helped out by a lone hiker up there about 12-13000 feet because we were off the trail where William Star himself died in 1933 who wrote a guidebook there before he passed out from historical Stanford research facilities and mountain lodge at fallen leaf lake and white mountain: elev 14500 feet plus. NEVER FULLY measured as to height! Could it be the highest? Was attacked twice by a bear in Yosemite high country and in sequoia near wolf lodge and survived Plus the Wolverine. And came with in inches of falling over a sheer clif waterfall at taboos pass but just got ahold of the roots of a shrub riverside to pull myself out of the extremely rushing roar of the river befor it fell over the precipice

[@9yetis]

Hacía mucho que no te veía. Este confinamiento se está haciendo interminable. Me voy a volver loco. Este vídeo me ha dado un par de "nitros". Muchas gracias por seguir compartiendo vídeos

[@smileycamel5635]

Much love and respect, You are amazing, and inspiring!

[@warriorredeemed215]

The white people "i took a risk and left everything behind" story. For us black people, buying groceries at Whole foods is a huge risk and leaving everything behind.

[@CelebralBore]

The most satisfying thing was seeing that spider getting the mosquito at 07:10 Loved the video, made me feel the "fremdweh" (means, missing a place which isn't your home, or you haven't been to in german) Crazy what you guys went through. Maybe, one day I will be able to do the same. :) Edit: Lol, I cried when you got to the border. xD Brb, going to watch the full thing!

[@blackfoot_jedi8670]

Ever think about doing a thew hike of the north country trail?

[@manfredseidler1531]

I know you've been by Lake Tahoe... there's a 170 mile loop around Lake Tahoe and surrounding lakes that might be worth looking into if you can handle something that short. Here's what you might expect kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKPHm3yXrJmcesk This advice is coming from a zero hero :)

[@coleparker]

Well, I never got a chance to walk the entire trail. But in 1980 I worked on the trail, doing the archaeology clearances for it, between the Southern Sequoias, to the Walker pass area. I lived on the trail for 45 days, living in a tent and walking along it. As I currently live in Ridgecrest I meet a lot of the hikers who come down to do laundry and resupply themselves. I enjoy talking to the hikers. As I said, I would love to hike some of the trail, but unfortunately being nearly 70 years old with a bad back, I cannot really make it anymore. So thanks for the video.

[@tiger2too18]

Dixie, Thanks again for your content- fab. What date did you start from Campo and what date did you enter the Sierras - ie more snow melt - fording ‘stream’ was more difficult.

[@dador9354]

Respect for you! I like wach this beautiful nature and people on this adventure.

[@richardemerson6996]

You have the opportunity to be the first female “Alligator Hunter” of hiking! You are that creative, that observant, that inspirational. You’re tough, enthusiastic, and remarkable.

[@VarangianOblast]

no matter how many other PCT youtube videos - I keep coming back to this one. If I ever do the PCT (I hope I do) would be because of your trail.

[@markrebeor1000]

Love the organ music in the background! Reminds me of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue.

[@elleybee7081]

I just love you Dixie. Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. This documentary showed us your strength, resilience, and love for nature. I turn this on our tv @ home and enjoy every minute with my 12yr old, 7yr old and 5yr old. You’ve inspired us to explore the outdoors more❤️

[@DrewBoswell]

A lot of us are very glad you don't listen to the naysayers, or rather, that you hear them and then defy their natterings. Keep using your own compass; it's gotten you this far.

[@shockers12512]

wow this video brought me ta tears. such a wonderful video, so happy i clicked subscribe

[@judygilleland9384]

Have you ever done any of the National Park trails? Joshua Tree, Grand Canyon, et al. It would be great to see you guide us through some of those adventures. I can't do them myself due to age and disability.

[@garethlappin2653]

? I see you wear shorts all the time! How do you avoid poison oak? Is there such a thing as hiking sandals? I enjoy watching all your videos. Stay safe little girl.! Peace and love

[@kimwinston]

Good for you! What an accomplishment! Well done.

[@andylimb]

What a dichotomy between years. My cousin is NOBO on the PCT right now and it is so dry for them.

[@anthonywinchester993]

I was kind of curious about something is it the reason you have such beautiful legs is it because of all the hiking that you've done? Also on the average giving day on the trail how many miles per day??? I love your videos keep up the great work

[@POODLEBITES]

I really enjoyed that. Thank you.

[@Mike-01234]

My wife and I are thinking of doing this were in our 50s' it would be the last chance in our lives to be able to do it. She lost her job last year I think best way for us would be to liquidate all our stuff we built up over the last 30 years even our house the market is so hot right now we can really boost our savings and when we have more then enough to last 4-5 years without any income I'm sure I could get a job when we got back from the hike. We would need health insurance for sure have to plan all that out. I'm tired of the IT world been doing that for last 30 years this would be a good chance to check out for awhile while we hike and take advantage of the hot market not have to buy. We might just buy a motorhome when we get back live in that for awhile.

[@takingawalkadventures]

the pct is absolutely beautiful. I loved watching your journey on the pct your videos were amazing you are a true Warrior.

[@bob-ny6kn]

Your accomplishments are exciting to relive.

[@joshuabrooks555]

Such good editing to get that much of a journey into 10 minutes and still feel it. Wow. Out here in the White Mountains wishing I was on the PCT.

[@colleenmoss9706]

I've watched a lot of your videos and I have to ask how do you hike in snow with shorts. 😅 You aren't the only one I have noticed who does this. We are on the other side of the US near the great lakes and I couldn't imagine. I feel like I am missing something.

[@sailingaeolus]

Ooooh, I hate those rattle snakes. Out in the west desert of Utah they get huge. Had several encounters/close calls. It's like meeting the devil running into one of those monsters.

[@AidaJof]

Thank you for this post and sorry for your loss. But wishing you success on the Pinhoti Trail.

[@Ok-np9rp]

What caused the explosion around min. 9?

[@robertmray]

LOVE the line about turning the fans off to stop the wind!

[@Islhopr]

Wow! What a great experience and an awesome video! Thanks for sharing

[@ElyJennis]

Excellent edit! The music was really epic, gave me chills!

[@stevecook413]

Have been watching since the early days (the begining) of the AT and with all my years of camping I have decided to do the AT ... Thank you

[@dabid714]

Can someone explain to me why this is a cool thing? I mean I enjoyed a lot of the trials she's been on separately but I never thought it would be cool to do all of them at once or think it was a thing people do.

[@martintagtstrom1703]

One word EPIC! greetings from Sweden.

[@LuckyPandaX]

Do you keep walking in wet boots after you cross those streams?

[@robertblackburn211]

You did it ! And you did with a smile... congratulations

[@maddychurchhouse4556]

This actually made me cry. ❤️

[@anthonychavez2177]

I live up near the Carson Pass. Hope you enjoyed it .

[@antchung2370]

What a treat.. ❤️

[@dontask8979]

Thats what that spider said.

[@sandyhancock2020]

Dixie .. I would love to see you do the PCT again

[@davidgau]

I get emotional every time I watch in my heart that was a hex of a challenge but you did it congrats again on your perseverance

[@vladimirmazura1983]

Hi. Very beautifull video.

[@fredhall8089]

Yuck... your toe nail is where I stop

[@sarahlee5696]

Dixie just a heads up, your US amazon affiliate link directs me to amazon home page, not a list. Love your videos!

[@cactusmoe2458]

Why would someone dislike this?!?

Thanks for the video

What day did you enter the kennedy meadows and summit Whitney??

[@aoifeluvzk]

I really want to do this someday. I will plan it and make it happen
