[@QuadzillaHikes]

8 days of food, fuuuuck. I'm watching this cowboy camped at mile 11 while I eat dinner 🤣 touched the southern terminus at sunset today! Gogogo!

[@annegallagher4005]

Whoooot???? You already are on the PCT? OMG you're a machine!! 😅 Good Luck to you and stay safe, can't wait to see how you touch the sign in Katahdin lol you're amazing!

[@jollygear]

Look at y’all!! ☺️ 🧡🌸🧡🌸 another wonderful video Rocket. And I swear we heard a wolf howl up there in 2017 and saw big dog prints in the snow. 🤷‍♂️

[@ITSPutter]

Thank you for sharing your journey. You are very engaging as you tell your story with Corey is in the background with a few words and perfectly timed glances at the camera. Safe travels!

[@pattypatten1626]

You are one of my faves! Excellent footage. You keep it interesting👍🏼

[@cryptidvfx]

This has been my favorite series. Keep it up you got this!

[@mileswiththemels1718]

Ouch! We hope your fall heals up quick.

[@hilaryrenee2728]

Love your videos Julia..TY for bringing us along with you! I would love to get out there sometime🤗 Love your new shirt, I think it's cute that you and LJ match. Also he's warming up to the camera! Hugs from Hil in Porterville, Ca❤️🙏🏼

[@beverlyroberts1139]

I love Jolly!! Watched him in the past, love living through you awesome people vicariously. Killing it! Your shirts are awesome!

[@justinmortimore3862]

Thank you for such an awesome channel and love watching! The matching tops are legit! Cheers!

[@jamesadams2334]

Your videos just plain rock! I can't believe how much snow and cold you guys are having. Totally different world when I hiked thru there. Hike strong, hike long, you are amazing. geek

[@wineberryred]

The fog of 11K altitude where Mather becomes Glenn!

[@butchbinion1560]

Great job thanks. Best of luck. ✌🏻👊

[@neliareal830]

Hi Rocket, maybe Bobcat! I know you don’t want to be looking at poop 😆 but usually if there’s prints, there is scat. That can tell you if it’s a wolf, Fox or cat, very hairy scat! Great videos! Love the sierra and your adventure! Doing great!

[@pb0231]

Awesome! Y'all are killing it! Have an awesome time!

[@Slowhiker-xw2kp]

To be young and fit again!

[@paulrevere2379]

Majority of not young hikers I encounter, like myself, actually have one or more chronic injuries. Such things make it more difficult, but it's ironic that with perfect health more often than not people stay in the "one day" category instead of the "day one and more after that" category. Injuries motivate some of us because we know that physical conditions are more likely to decline than improve over time, so we get out and do what we can do. It's not a race, mountains don't care, and the reward is not in proportion to miles. It does have some relation to the number of wilderness days and nights and that can often be achieved regardless of injuries.

[@rosemarymcleod4074]

Wow 🤩 that trail is amazing. The views are beyond beautiful! I would love to see them in person. So glad y’all are enjoying your journey. Be safe.

[@hikersteph]

Lol been there with the heavy pack climb out of Kearsarge. We were finishing our Sierra miles that we skipped in 2019 and loaded up for a 9 day stretch to Mammoth, and VVR/MTR/Red's Meadow were closed due to Covid still. Also it was probably a bad idea to start that section with only a day of acclimation from sea level, but we made it 😂 these videos are bringing back the best memories for me!

[@blueboats7530]

Wow, that was quite the endeavor

[@paulrevere2379]

Trail names? Maybe we met in 2019. Stay Calm and Semper Gumby

[@hikersteph]

@@paulrevere2379 Calzone, Cheer, and Stevie Wonder!

[@weekenderprojects7546]

Such beautiful mountainous scenery. Thanks for sharing your journey

[@wtr7]

Enjoy your videos. Keep moving forward as well as being safe. Thanks!

[@sheilastevens7956]

I love that Jolly shirt. I remember you wearing the prototype and couldn’t wait for them to be available. I got one for my Birthday this year and love it!

[@unjarredoutdoors5513]

Great video, thanks for sharing

[@whowantsachannel1983]

The new top looks great on you! That is your color.

[@OneEyeHikes]

Loving the journey and how the two of you approach each day. I hiked part of the JMT, including a Whitney summit last year in July/August. Beautiful country!

[@MalFunktion1]

Beautiful camera work!

[@BucksMom218]

Hi guys- beautiful scenery and mountain passes. I have a house in the woods near Pichot estate in Pike Co Pa, located in the Poconos. Its a beautiful estate, maintained for visiting and walking on the grounds. The view from the yard outside the main house is toward the Delaware River and NJ (Highpoint). Stay well, love your journey. 🥾🥾😎

[@doughboy334]

Kearsarge in the snow

[@cfish64]

Wow Rocket Awesome beautiful scenery ..... looks like your feeling better..... please consider taking alot of Vitamin C now and forever....

[@calex9398]

You guys look great! Much love 🤙

[@chuckoffcampus9738]

Lots of history in the names of the mountains there. Southerners had named some nearby mountains the Alabama Hills. Then northerners named a nearby mine and mountain Kearsarge after the USS Kearsarge which had sunk the CSS Alabama, a Confederate cruiser, off Normandy, France in June 1864.

[@soundreflections9126]

Yay!! Schats Bakery in Bishop!! I wonder why more hikers don't go there - SO delish!! Love your videos - just saw you with Sam & Moriah - making such excellent progress. Keep it up🤙👏

[@jbflash888]

There is a Pinchot Trail in PA in the old Lackawanna State Forest. It's pretty flat and only 26 miles, but a nice trail to take beginners (great river and waterfall!). I just did it as my first solo trip - was so nervous to do it alone but I did! I think you would like it in the fall, and I know you were interested in taking out groups and guiding (pre-covid). Anyway, thanks for always inspiring me!

[@pakleader4]

There is a gray wolf that has traveled in your area from Oregon. It maybe be him if not the a mountain fox. He is labeled OR-93 from his tracking collar. And thanks for way to donate in your last video. Will send the money to help keep the trail’s going. Just wanted to buy guys a meal while your out. But if making the trails safe and secure is your wish then I will comply. It’s always a pleasure to watch your adventures. Your in areas I could not cover as a veteran. That’s why I follow your segments. Have fun stay safe and healthy. SEMPER FI

[@robbrandtBSA]

No confirmed wolves in Central or Southern Sierra at this time. OR-93 died in November. The tracks are most likely coyote, they are all over the Sierra. I had the most wonderful serenade by a pack of them at Vermilion Valley last year just past midnight, it was beautiful.

[@richardross7219]

Another very good video. Someone gave a demonstration of the features of those shirts and it was impressive. I see a lot of them on the AT this year. When we met, my wife and I wore matching clothes(Army Uniforms). We lasted almost 39 years until she died from a tick bite. The olive oil is a very good idea. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick

[@andymytys]

Here are 4-5 Wolf packs in California for a total of < 30 wolves. I’d still lean towards coyote, as the wolves in CA are in Northern CA.

[@robnoodle1]

Enjoyed your content Rocket & Corey ! 😃

[@memathews]

You'll run into Gifford Pinchot again at the Columbia River crossing on Bridge of the Gods when you leave the Mt Hood NF in Oregon and enter the Gifford Pinchot NF in Washington. After Pinchot left the Forest Service, the next Chief began industrial clear cutting, destroying millions of acres of forest. Pinchot came west to see the destruction and declared that Washington and Oregon forests should never again be clearcut. It's a fight that continues today, but most cutting is handled in a manner that is more sympathetic to the forests because of laws enacted in the 1970s and 1980s, and continuing today for a more balanced approach.

[@blueboats7530]

Julia just wants all the next passes to be as fun as Glenn Pass

[@caseywear-moline4267]

Loving your adventures, the Sierras are so beautiful. I am in awe every time I go. P.S. There no known wolf packs in the Sierras.

[@chrism5586]

The mountains and trees do a good job of it on their own, but waterfalls and streams replenish the soul

[@kellyjohnson3617]

I’m glad I’m not the only one to reuse a backpacking meal bag. They are like a stand to keep the food upright. And work good to keep the heat in too. You could have seen a coyote print. There are a lot of them up there. I’m guessing it was that. Don’t think there are wolves here in CA. But I’ve seen coyotes in the parking lots in sequoia and Yosemite national parks. I’m gonna guess that’s what you saw.

[@blueboats7530]

I agree, not really any other viable candidates other than coyotes

[@tw6570]

Hi guys! I wait for your uploads and I'm living vicariously through you until I can get back up into the Sierras. Hopefully soon permanently! Anyway, the print you saw was probably a coyote (as someone else pointed out too). Just a few wolves have made it back into California so far, you'd be very lucky to encounter one and I don't think they've made it down to where you are. Coyotes are everywhere. Crafty little buggers and nothing to worry about.

[@deflep71]

Gifford Pinchot was the first chief of the U. S Forest service. Stephen Mather of Mather pass was the first head of the National Park service. John Muir of Muir pass is self explanatory

[@kimmyerson8375]

Hello from PA! Wondering if the local Pinchot trails were named after the governor. Love yr videos!

[@justdavethehikingguy1480]

A fox print and wolf print are going to be waaaaaay different in size. If you see a wolf track, you will think "OMG, that's gotta be the biggest dog in the world." A coyote track will be about the same size as a medium sized dog. A fox track will be slightly bigger than a house cat track but canine looking.

[@suzanholder2525]

Awesome job have followed all of your hikes!! ? Is "Mayor" doing any hiking?

[@ItsAStephanieB]

What warm goodie top are you wearing? It looks so comfy and warm!

[@paulrevere2379]

115 miles those conditions. Hmm. I would have to plan for 10 days ideal, 12 realistic, food for about 14 days, and I don't like cold, so lots of thermal layers for me.

[@LMicheleS]

Just stunning! How much has the elevation (and snow) effected your miles during the day while in the Sierra?

[@andymytys]

The Jolly button down, triple crown shirts RULE! The breath very well, dry fast, don’t stink out, and have excellent abrasion resistance. Looks like the color holds up well too, given the minimal level of fade that Corey’s shirt is showing when compared to Julia’s brand new shirt.

[@isabellelecours6697]

I love watching your vidéos. My son is about 7-10 dans behind you so I am able to know what is coming up for him.

[@judyhively9258]

Me too my man is about the same behind her too

[@hoytfjell]

catching up on vids, and you probably already know this but in case you didn't, bacon bits are actually accidentally vegan! So if you feel like partaking, you can :) (obv read the label first but i've never come across the little tiny ones you put on salads etc that weren't vegan)

[@greenbuckeyelove]

If you e talked about it then I missed that video. But I have a question. What packs are you two using? Just curious. And thank you! You’re videos are so fun to watch.

[@jls935]

The Lite Af 40L pack and the Grantie Grear Crown 60

[@antoniabaker7770]

Now your in 5he snow constantly, do you just leave your crampons on all the time?

[@tippersteffi1]

Not a wolf, only a few in California and they are in the far northeastern part of the state

[@Egg1456]

If I can make a request I'd like to see more scenery.

[@michaelrockinger]

Surely Yeti footprint

[@marklll8368]

was that someone with jeans

[@Swampkrew]

Maybe coyote
