Pacific Crest Trail Documentary: A YEAR OF ICE AND FIRE

[@TaleRavenTarot]

I'm disabled and can't hike (much less walk). I love living vicariously through these videos to see places that are inaccessible to me. Thanks for making your videos!

[@karenthomas1456]

Me too. xxx

[@m46273]

Totally agree. I was an avid runner 'til osteoarthritis took my knees. I thoroughly enjoy hiking videos and camping.

[@billmoran363]

Yes indeed

[@zanthornton]

Actually I'm trying to figure away to get disabled folks to great hikes. Ive got OA both knees, back stenosis, chronic fatigue... Maybe do a camp magic for 4 hours or plan a smaller doable hike with chair ( I know mountain won't do, but some can!) As I'm in bed recovering from fatigue and pain, the idea of a small hike with help sound do able ( 5 miles 2.5 in... Camp hike out ) It's the journey not miles If I'm thinking about it, I've hired a disabled trainer who understands..

[@shawndyer8140]

Rave n I love these videos toowith i hope of doing hiking for my biggest part of my therapy. luckily my issues are neurological.

56:35..."a bad day on trail is still better than a good day at work" very wise words :)

[@troykool6275]

...very true for 99% of the population. Work for most people sucks balls.... especially if you work for any large, bureaucratic organization where you're treated like a cog in a machine.

[@stevemazz3121]

I love my job... I build stuff... so when I am out on the trail it is just such an incredible time.... OH, I live in Washington State.... which is two environments in one state. West of the Cascades is green to the point of a rain forest, East of the Cascades is dry with many rivers.... great place to live.

I don't know what it is about you Dixie but I've been watching all of your videos nonstop since I discovered you yesterday. I'm 19 years old and I am scared for my future, but watching your videos makes me think that I am capable of, and strong enough, to live a life I truly think is worth living. I hope you know how much of an impact you've made on my life. Thank you.

Time to get cheesy. This is honestly my favorite video that anybody has done of the PCT. First, I commend your spirit and bravery for taking the trip on as a lone woman and for seeing it through to the end. I appreciate that you shared your vulnerable moments of stress and fear with us and how you didn’t let it get the best of you. Obviously the sweeping views and gorgeous landscapes were breathtaking but I loved that you took the time to show us the beauty that lies in the small things on the trail. A heartfelt congratulations on completing the PCT and making women proud, and a big thank you for the amazing video and inspiration for my future hike!

[@mike13runs]

This is one of the most inspiring documentaries I've seen in my 41 years on this planet. I felt your range of emotions. I've been lucky enough to spend a lot of time outdoors and in the back country and I felt your triumphs and pain. The mountains are magic. Thank you for sharing your experience. 💙🏔🏞🤙

[@richardlumpkin4607]

I am a fellow southerner and live near the beginning of the Appalachian Trail in Blue Ridge Georgia. As a young man I was lucky enough to travel throughout Europe. Now I am medically disabled and not able to hike. Your videos allow me to see things and go on journeys that are no longer possible for me and for that I am truly grateful. Your commentary and interviews are delightful and your cinematography is stunning. I don’t know how you accomplish some of the shots you capture without lots of sophisticated equipment. Also, the editing and music are always spot on. Thanks for allowing me to join you on the journey.

[@truneilson]

I too can no longer hike due to disability, have you considered being a Trail Angel? You get to be a part of it without going out there.

[@istinklikebutt45]

Richard Lumpkin same here. I'm in central Alabama and I've wanted to hike the APT to see how my ancestors came from Pennsylvania in the 1700's down the Appalachians through N.C. to Edgefield,SC,then Columbia Co.,Ga and the in 1813 to where I live in central,Alabama right at the end of the Appalachian foothills.Ive got congestive heart failure unfortunately and can do it. I do stay in the woods all the time though.

Thru hiked the Appalachian Trail 2013. I can no longer medically hike. I am heading for the Mississippi river in July. Minnesota to New Orleans by kayak.

[@klantifashakur9894]

@@StephenJelinek that's cool as hell can't hike so canoe

[@an0ana]

Also physically disabled. I can walk, but I'd be lucky to walk a mile without severe pain. One fall could leave me paralyzed, so I love these videos that let me get to see what it is like. And to be honest, I'd be crying my eyes out over the mosquitoes.

[@10bxloco]

I literally cried when you showed that sunrise on Whitney. Freaking amazing! I'm so thankful for the stuff you share, being disabled and can't walk very well or very far anymore. So, so, so thankful. Keep on being you, girl. 💯 👍 I'll keep on watching & living vicariously through you, as you thru hike. Much love. 🙏

[@sergiomurillo8864]

Just watched this again. I had not paid attention about a mom and his son. Mom was diagnosed with glaucoma and was hiking the trial. I was diagnosed with glaucoma at 40 and since that day I have been teaching my girls how to backpack and hike. Inspirational. Thank you Jessica.

[@annafjerstad]

Used to watch your videos with my dad every night. Good to find you again Dixie.

[@ThatOneDudeNick]

I didn't even know I wanted to do something like this until I watched this. I car camp and hike, never backpacked before.

Watched all three now and it’s already inspired me and my 8 year old daughter to hike again., we did our first this last weekend and will be doing many more. I used to hike a lot but life got in the way, time to take my life back 😀

[@GatorMH]

Hell yeah!! Happy trails friend

[@johntabasz1219]

Ya know what I find super refreshing about Dixie's videos, unlike tons of other content providers, she's not using the "Sexy Girl" angle to get eyes on her channel. Video footage is top quality, editing is great, soundtrack is solid, narration is excellent (especially for an engineer :-). Scenery is nice too!

[@jimsullivan7639]

Anybody who would rescue an ant won't have any problem saving the world! Seriously, you were the first hiking channel where I went back to the first vid and binge watched. Here's to continued success as you traverse America!

Ever feel like you know someone you’ve never met? Welp, that’s how I feel about you Dixie! As others mention, you’re photography, narrative and above all “character” truly make the videos not only enjoyable but informative. My favorite aspect is how you describe the pain and fear, yet persevere to overcome and reach the objective. Thanks!

Just watched the whole thing. I think this is like the 3rd time I've watched your entire PCT thru-hike. Surprised there's no ads. I'd be willing to put up with them so you get some ad revenue. Especially since I enjoyed the documentary. It's well put together! Can't wait for CDT updates!

[@TacoMichelly]

Agreed!! I have my ad blocker turned off for KZbin so the creators i watch get their adsense money, I really hope she turns ads on for this video so our views can support her!

I love people like you who set a daunting goal and have the mental strength to see it through. Not only is the videography exceptional, but we are getting to know you through these trips. Who wouldn't want to meet you on the trail or have a beer with you at the end of the day? Keep feeding us this stuff. It's great.

HOLY CRAPAMOLY! Just shaking my head. “24 hour challenge” 62 miles, what a tough pretty, little BAMA GIRL! Way to go, Jessica/Dixie. You’re a triple crowner now. What’s next? What ever you decide, you have a character of steel. You will succeed. Texas. PS: This is 3 years after I watched this the first time. Back in the 70’s my wife and two year daughter left me in Germany to go back to Tennessee to have our second daughter. My daughter was just learning to talk. My wife taught her to sing, “You Are My Sunshine”. She sang the whole song to me over the phone. Whew! When you started the song, so far from home, well, it brought back sweet memories. I live in Kentucky, now. Thanks, again.

There are things that are priceless, imagine showing a video like this to your grandchildren in your old age, many of us want to enjoy the view from the top of a great mountain, but few of us dare to face the challenges that the climb represents.

Wonderful documentary Dixie. Had a tear in my eye there at the end. Your courage, your determination, your sense of your place in the world around you are inspiring. Our backpacking days are behind us, but my husband has been a member of the PCTA for nearly 30 years and he did volunteer trail clearing in the Desolation Wilderness area for 25 years, every summer. To Pulaski's, McClouds and 'blow-downs', and to life's adventures. Looking forward to watching your other trail documentaries.

[@francismoulds6732]

That strange happy feeling you get when you start a trail, she described it as "free". I think it has to do with our brain chemistry being evolved from 2 million years ago when we had a truly nomadic existence. That strange feeling happens to me every time. It's a feeling of being cut loose. It's the answer to the "why" we hike question.

''we'll see y'all next time''...CHEERS TO YOU BOTH !!

This is the first of the 3 big trails I watch on your channel. Bit bummed I didn't start at the AT to watch in order you hiked them. Thank you so much for sharing. Walking a trail like this, is just a fragment of my dreams at this point, but that is fine. I get to live a little of it by the stories of people like you. I really love your consideration for nature, animals and insects (spiders even!) around you. It's great to see your debate with yourself over some decisions you have to make whether to go on, stay put or go back. Reflecting on actions you did early, if they were smart or not. But most of all you perseverance. Thank you for sharing the good and the bad. You are one very inspiring strong woman!

[@hikerlarrypackgoaterrobins8575]

Well, y'all just went and done did it. Here I had all of this PCT nonsense carefully pushed back into a never-visited and thoroughly obscure part of my brain, and now after watching all of your bloody videos, it has snuck out, crept past the door and fully invaded my consciousness. To the degree that now I am actually thinking about trying to do the PCT in 2022. The issue here is that I am old enough that I shouldn't even be thinking about such a venture, let alone actually contemplating actually putting a foot on the trail. I guess time will tell. I fully expect that lacking the Lord's help I will never be able to complete this extreme stretch of my old frame. I just hope He is willing to keep me going when the going gets rough.

Great job Jessica. Sunrise at Whitney summit was fantastic. Snow at Forester Pass was not as bad as it was this year when several huge snow storms hit the area as many PCTers was passing the area.

[@rhousto1]

[@leeoliver2969]

I definitely remember the section at 54:51 min. Your eyes were tearing up, you were all alone and you had just attempted a dangerous crossing. Then along came 3 guys for you to team up with. Almost like a miracle, companions came along just when you needed it.

[@openmind6969]

Just watched this again... one of the best most natural PCT documentaries ever. The Mosquito sections cracked me up. Years later still an independent KZbinr.

At 58 minutes the landscape took my breath away. I like long distance walking but this is above and beyond me, for a number of reasons. I don't know what superlative to use for the scenery. Thanks so much for producing this documentary to share with others.

[@artistoddessy8484]

Hey homemade wanderlust, this video was amazing. I am someone going through some struggles in my life, but i love the outdoors, and tonight one of those struggles is feeling unwell/weak like im getting sick. But I also struggle from mental illness and certain things. I made a bowl of chicken noodle soup midway and watched all the way through. I am so thankful you made this movie. i love the idea, and may one day try something similar, I am from Canada, and I know we have some amazing paths here too. Anyways much respect sent your way, props on finishing both trails!

[@jonathandefoy6376]

Thank you for sharing your highlights and your struggles along your backpacking journeys. Your videos really show the reality of the outdoors and the reward of challenging yourself. Thank you for inspiring!

I didn't think I would end up watching the whole two hours but the entire thing was very captivating. Excellent editing. That stick twirl after your encounter with the guy telling you that you wouldn't make it was a nice touch.
