[@cathyspencer3058]

Love your new intro! Your trail excitement is infectious and for those of us who cannot get on a trail-it’s a pleasure to share your experience! Thank you!

[@billshuey7422]

I walked the Washington portion several times in the 60s and 70s. Just happy to have found your videos to see the rest of the trail. Now retired in Thailand 😅

[@carlmcdonald4576]

Godspeed Frozen - and a tip of the hat to your wife and young family for making this happen!

[@FrozensAdventures]

Yes Mrs Frozen is doing a lot back at home!

[@olddudeonthetrail72]

The Frozen PCT thru hike series is finally here!! Wooooo!

[@derekhand7904]

Most anticipated sequel ever

[@one2869]

Dang! I swear that smile stretched all the way from the PCT to the AT! Been watching others in front of you. Looks like you are in a good window for weather at higher altitudes coming up soon.

[@tinmanandoliveoylsadventur7129]

So happy to see you doing this. Welcome to my neck of the world. I remember when you were going to do the AT someone told you that you wouldn't make it 200 miles. You proved them wrong and your videos are fantastic. Hike on!

[@markcrowell2727]

The intro ROCKS; looking forward to watching the rest of the videos for the PCT! This gets me excited for my small, little 5-day hike in Colorado in August!

[@RC-qf3mp]

PCT name- Stoner. Throwing stones at snakes.

[@JoeBuck201]

5 years in the making! Thanks for doing this !

[@grantgrow]

Has it been 5 years? wow. Good to see him hiking another long trail

[@FrozensAdventures]

Yup 5 years it took to get here through a pandemic and massive inflation but I made it!

[@MrTitanTopper]

I’ve mentioned this before to you in previous vid comments and on your Lives, but your AT thru-hike documentary A JOURNEY OF THE SOUL was my initial inspiration for my own potential AT Thru-hike for next year. Let’s get this brotha! I’ll be with you ALL THE WAY!!!!!! 👍🏻👏🏻👊🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻⬆️

[@vshybeej8756]

His Journey of the soul Doc was my initial inspiration to thru hike the AT as well. Hopefully mine will be next year, if not, for sure in '26. Thanks Frozen!!! - Shybee

[@alexchandonnet]

Woke up this morning on top of a mountain WITH cell signal, which is rare where i live (Québec, Canada) and i get to watch the 1rst episode. You got me into hiking, thank you!! Enjoy your beautiful adventure!!

[@cavemandancer]

Great intro, I never relized the PCT starts out that freaken beautiful. Rewards go to those who are bold.... Really would you ever imagine sitting at that desk 10 odd years ago that you would be in the California Southern Border experience the PCT, wrestling Rattle Snakes soaking in those magical views. Awesome stuff.

[@FrozensAdventures]

10 years ago I would have never have thought I could be here.

[@jpro5232]

I'm so happy for you, the wait is over. It's so exciting seeing different landscapes and plant life. Enjoy every moment!

[@barb0138]

I watch your videos on the Appalachian trail. Went to the desert this spring I loved it.

[@aok6989]

Safe travels! The new intro is good. Your joy comes through clear; enjoy the trail. I have no doubt you'll make it out of California!!😁😁

[@markthomas8658]

The sheer EPICNESSS of that intro 😍 can’t wait to follow you on this journey!

[@derekhand7904]

I can’t believe it’s finally here, frozen AT blogs are giant reason I started hiking.

[@DebCampos]

Happy hiking Frozen ☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍🥾🥾🥾

[@notquiteultralight1701]

[@wandering_butnotlost]

Congratulations on your sobriety!!! That's a huge accomplishment 👏

[@notquiteultralight1701]

@@wandering_butnotlost thank you!

[@Raveler1]

So exciting to see the beginning of the trail! I love that you're noting the different plants and animals than you're used to out East, and sharing them with us - it's reminding me of how I felt when I first moved West. And that snake in the first five miles - glad you were ready!

[@07carpy]

Been waiting 4 years, since I first saw the AT video, for this video to drop! Good luck my man 💪🏼

[@lorismith8479]

Love your videos Your gear load outs are the best esp the way you layout the gear Hike on!!!

[@jaykanor9613]

Pumped the videos finally started man. Can't beat those western views. Enjoy

[@baskets8429]

[@claramullen]

Wow I love the new intro. Your smile tells it all. Have a wonderful time out there stay safe.

[@rihardsgr]

Looking forward to your success. I don't know if you are going to include in your videos some moments from places you visit (lunchtime, resupply etc.), I would like to see them too.

[@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl]

Yeah, would love to see that as well.

[@FrozensAdventures]

[@johnwooten5941]

[@lobstahgirl]

At work we serve ramen (uncooked) crunched up over salad with chicken. Very popular, because it's so good! I am so glad you are doing this trail (and showing food!). I followed you on your AT hike. This is going to be your ultimate hike. Go for it, frozen! Excited to follow.

[@TheRICCOTO]

Nice to see you on the PCT Frozen have a great Time!

[@ervinslens]

Absolutely gorgeous work my friend! Shots and editing are fantastic! 👏👏

[@TNhunterKMC]

Glad you’re finally in this trail. Look forward to following along your journey. Thanks.

[@DGameFinishr]

Good luck brother! Happy trails

[@russellinthebush2897]

I'm very happy for you and that your first couple days on the PCT went well. That's a tough climb up to Mt Laguna. Please don't throw rocks at the snakes like you did. I've seen snakes maimed and killed from people doing that. If anything, just stomp and scrape the ground to get their attention. I'm looking forward to following your hike!

[@TheIamyourmother]

That was my thought as well, especially the second rock. Some pebbles or a small stick are more than enough if stopping and scraping aren't doing the trick. One wrong bounce and rocks that size could easily kill the snake, which I know wasn't Frozen's intention!

[@RunningUphill]

Very much this. No wonder it was pissed. There’s no reason to harass wildlife. We’re lucky to visit their home, but it’s their home first. Canada will still be there after the snake moves on.

[@TheIamyourmother]

Hell yeah! So excited to see how this journey unfolds for you. I still remember binge watching your AT series in early 2020 and seeing you propose, now you've got a little family and everything! Who knows what the next 5 years will bring.

[@annahasty7191]

I am thrilled to see that you are on the PCT and thank you for taking us along for the ride. 😁❤

[@gregharmon3797]

Good luck Jason, be safe.😊

[@gregharmon3797]

I like the new opening

[@michaelcrawford9425]

Epic intro, and man what a smile. Your excitement is infectious. Can't wait to watch your journey.

[@cachemacstrailtime]

I've been looking forward to your hike. This is going to be good. So happy for you, that you could finally make it happen. Take care!

[@edschultz5718]

YES! I can't believe it's already happening, good luck I am excited to share your journey

[@Psychoticpea]

I was so excited to see the bell for the new episode! It has been so long since your last and I am so hyped to watch you on this journey. I am happy that your wife has always been so supportive of your hiking even before she became the wife. She is a beautiful person and so are the children. Thanks for sharing your journey so that an oldy like me can dream through you.

[@FrozensAdventures]

She really is perfect

[@ChrisfromFL]

So glad your up and running, iterally! Be safe and hope you enjoy this adventure!

[@HikingMamaJess]

I’m so excited you started the PCT! I love the way you documented your journey on the AT and can’t wait to follow along your next adventure! Sending good vibes for you!

[@EastWind123]

It's great to see you get started! I'll be rooting for you all the way. You'll crush this! 😊😊

[@SinchuwusOutside]

Great to see you back on a thru-hike!!! I'm looking forward to watching every episode. Best of luck, be safe and most importantly have a shit ton of fun!!! -dave

[@hallman321]

Glad you are back on trail, and filming! Safe travels Bro

[@rachescakes]

Happy trails!

[@endokin6484]

Started watching about a month before your AT, 5 years now the PCT, admire the dedication & preparation you have shown! Really does highlight the sacrifices needed to just get to the start, best of luck! Curious to see what your avg miles per day will be. Thanks

[@drew_blanco_]

SO EXCITED FOR YOU! I didn't get the notification it dropped and watching both episode 1 and 2 now!

[@bevliechty1161]

Been a long time waiting to watch you again. HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU

[@rasmusklitgaard3648]

Take care and the best of luck Frozen.

[@lightwalker4558]

I have been following you since you started the AT and love that you are sharing yet another adventure with us, this time in 4K. I LOVE the new intro graphics! The HD version looks really good too! Keep up the nice work / vacation. 😂

[@shane19959]

Well, I followed you all the way along the AT so I'm happy to do likewise with this new adventure of yours. Have a safe and rewarding hike. Stay strong - in mind and body. I know that you can do this.

[@ducaticanine]

man, that intro is INSANE!! wow, super badass... cant wait to watch this video man, happy for ya man! here you are about to hike 2600 miles and I'm trying to do a small week long organized hike in Norway this summer and pretty scared/nervous to do it. uggg

[@chriscon8463]

Every time I hear the intro music it takes me back to watching you hike the AT. Good luck, Frozen!

[@sg187IN]

Awesome to see you out on the trail! Will be following the whole way! Rooting you on from Washington!

[@davefox1553]

Love your positivity.

[@jayl6029]
