Rock harvesting joke was great! 😀

[@ducaticanine]

i thought he was for real and i was googling it like a dumbaxx lol

[@richardlourens1008]

Wait?!? What? I thought he was serious 😂

[@tommybewick]

Harvesting rocks for the Pennsylvania Appalachian Trail was absolutely hilarious! Just an observation; It's got to be hard to be under a microscope on social media when people are telling you to "tap out your shoes". Etc etc. It's so easy to tell other people what to do when they're sitting in their iving room watching the video. I try not to do that. You're doing a great job out there!

[@jonmcfarland3832]

CA is unbelievable in its beauty. I was born and live here and am always in amazement of its coastline, valley, mountains, desert. It has it all.

[@bobwhitesell8401]

I've been hiking in eastern and central PA for over 30 years and I always that the rocks were grown locally. You really do learn something new every day. Lol

[@lynx7906]

About your sandy shoes in the tent. Made snag up a Walmart bag to keep with you to put your shoes in. That way, the sand will stay inside the bag and not your tent. Your pace is about 20 minutes and 41 seconds per mile. Crazy!!! That was a cool train shot.

[@drew_blanco_]

Man.....I thought the trail was beautiful but this video shows imo the scale and size of everything really well. I can't thank you enough for taking us on this journey with you. I've had my own tent and my own sleeping bag and gear for a while now and I've wanted to go camping on my own but I've been nervous about it. Watching these videos gives me courage though. Just gotta start small and then before you know it, I can start my own thru hike eventually!

[@potatothorn]

you can do it!!

[@paulgammelljr6883]

Great promo video series for pct. Beautiful.

[@joshjuckett8671]

I live in Kentucky and backpacking out west absolutely is another world. I love it and watching these videos has me excited to get back out west this summer. The first hike back at home always feels less impressive, but I quickly settle back into just being happy to be in the woods anywhere. Thanks for bringing us on this hike with you!

[@tinmanandoliveoylsadventur7129]

We live in Escondido Ca. I see mountains everyday from my patio. Yeah, life is good.

[@danielchance2217]

Well done I don't think you could have found a better hiking companion. You guys mesh pretty well. And the last camping spot is fn epic. Love your vibe, dude, and you guys Got this keep going, keep your heads up. The most beautiful country you've ever seen is coming ahead of you.

[@KCarlson-cc9df]

Funny that there was a McDonald’s commercial right after you talked about your dinner. They should sponsor you.😂

[@mattg2935]

Ok, you’ve convinced me…PCT instead of AT. My wife is pissed. 😂. Gonna have to learn to be a ground dweller again.

[@Psychoticpea]

One thing I learned is carrying extra water is so taxing. It is so heavy it is unbelievable how it impacts the body on a hike with extra weight. Your in beast mode now though! Keep up the great work and staying safe!

[@dorispursell48]

Ha! Like Pa needs more rocks!😉

[@vagabondwildernesswanderings]

Rocks to Pennsylvania!!! Funny!!!

[@cathyspencer3058]

You had me stumped about the rocks being shipped to PA. To funny Frozen. Enjoying the nature sounds and scenes. Safety first 👍

[@AJKPenguin]

The last campground looks fantastic!

[@potatothorn]

PA rocks hahahahhaa/ that's the start of the river that goes underground through the desert/.. your reactions to the views are why i have been saying i want to see you out west, so glad you are doing this.... sweet camp for night 2! awesome days on the trail as always, thanks for taking us along

[@rkatufus]

Great job capturing the scenery!

[@denisegrelle4589]

We love watching your adventure and you are so happy hiking and with the scenery. Wait until you get to the Sierra’s, they are so beautiful! Happy trails!

[@sdpeteadventures239]

Its probably too late for this hike but maybe on your next one could you do a progress map of where you are and distance for each video? Anyways, love the videos, keep up the great hike!

[@FrozensAdventures]

Look in the video description.

[@gregharmon3797]

Looking strong, you got this !!

[@trishaswaney648]

Love LMNT! Also the harvesting the rocks 😂😂😂

[@floydmietus6624]

Great video you have been so positive and happy during this adventure

[@j.stephens257]

Really enjoying watching your journey. I grew up in California (both northern and southern) and you're crossing through old familiar territory!

[@ALORDW]

Surprised LMNT hasn’t offered a code for you. Nahamsha, Ramdino, Kyle Hates etc. all have raved about it. Rocks to PA :)

[@markathey5329]

Another beautiful video. Keep up the amazing work, Frozen.

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

It really is a beautiful trail 👣 🌻

[@mattkreitzer5622]

Yeah, the first time I tried the LMNT drink I was surprised by how salty it was (of course, I didn't realize that it would be salty at all so it was completely unexpected for me). I usually will only put half a pack in my bottle at a time. But, you are right, it does work!

[@jasonbourne314]

Awesome videos, love the authenticity!

[@billcompton6050]

Brother Liked the scorpion 🦂 shoe 👟 comment My father served in ww2 in North Africa and he talked about that Ditto on the pa rock 🪨 comment Da Breeze

[@bryanlevesque1012]

Wait until you get to Northern California and the WA/OR Cascades. The views are unreal.

[@joepeters5796]

So Rocksylvania came from a quarry in California ;) ... I heard about LMNT from Ramdino's channel... Made a real difference for a friend who was cramping badly ...

[@bearanoia673]

You've really settled into the PCT rather nicely 🐻🌲

[@pale0wl]

these videos are the highlight of my day.

[@timmartin9222]

LMNT for a win just started using it after runs works great keep it up from NWPA

[@tonybabcock655]

Can’t get past your joy. So fun to watch. Still wondering if you’re gonna get through Georgia??

[@playtester6635]

I'm always so impatient for the next video

[@brianogden9076]

Makes me jelly. I miss cali

[@thuthiehiker]

What happened withe the bees in deep creek? You are in my neighborhood. Glad you enjoyed it. ❤

[@vliet1x]

Beautiful journey!

[@PSUhorty1]

Thank you!

[@tony_r_pierce]

Always wondered where they got the Rocksylvania rocks for the AT...

[@BOF7431]

Binged - all caught up. I have only read comments in Ep 1 and 9 sofar so I may missed it but what do you think is the average pack weight, minus water ?

[@bjbeck11]

Loving the Channel - Thank you. Epic trip! Regarding Solo Plex condensation, did your fellow travelers have excessive condensation in their Duplexes? Overall are you liking the SoloPlex. On the fence b/n SoloPlex and Duplex Lite for single person.

[@scothampton963]

I live 80 miles east of you. My first western hike I said the same thing a d it's true.

[@lobstahgirl]

You caught me with the mean PA rock joke! Is Bigfoot vlogging?

[@christinadimauro7673]

It’s true east vs west coast hiking. After the AZT, PCT, and CDT, I just can’t hike most trails on the east coast anymore. They are comparatively boring and depressing. Wait until the Sierra and Cascades buddy. And definitely do Mount Whitney, I was so glad I did.

[@wildeone1636]

Oh noooo, Frozen's gonna abandon the green tunnel 😱

[@Feribrat99]

LMNT can be diluted to 16 to 32 ounce and it still works great sometimes it needs shaking up towards the last half the salt settles . I have buckets of it for hiking and work days in the heat here at home Mio is nothing good.

[@gboltonatrail1099]

Question? At the water cash, when you fill your bottles, do you distinguish between dirty and clean? Do you drink the cashed water through a filter for the dirty water bottle and straight for the clean, or do you not have “clean” smart bottles and just risk that any leftover contamination is going to be low risk? Hope this makes sense! Enjoying your vids and love the laughter and joy recognizing the difference between the Coasts. I’m still big on our coast, less condensation in a Hammock!! 😆

[@potatothorn]

comedy after totally misreading your question and trying to reply / i got it/ haha// I'm at the water cache at hwy 58 frequently so i was thinking in reverse, that the water is generally clean and doesnt need filtering but Doh that's not what you're asking at all.... i want to hear his answer but what i suspect is all those smartwater bottles are "dirty", it looks like all his bottles are full and they are all intended to be connected to the sawyer. so probably he fills his water bladder for drinking and cook pot etc all thru the sawyer. what we did not see was did he fill the bladder with the hose he drinks from with water from the cache directly or filter it first.. typically not necessary but with that "do not crush bottles" note i think these are refilled from a tap so maybe they are filtered maybe not, probably worth filtering just for the taste if nothing else....

[@gboltonatrail1099]

@@potatothorn Thanks for replying… That is the question I am asking… A better way to ask it would be does Frozen or others, “Fill the CNOC Dirty Bag with clean water from a Cache and Not filter it? Or do they always filter water from a “dirty” bottle even if the water is definitely Potable/Clean?”.

[@DudeSilad]

Started watching your vids a couple of days but all caught up now. Wish I was there but alas, probably never be able to do it. Do you ever wake up and think 'I'm going home' ? Looks a breeze on your vids but I know a huge amount of people don't complete it.

[@Wanderinginthewilds]

You found nessy!!!! 👏👏👏🤣🤣😂🤣😂😊✌️🤙

[@jmupp2876]

Do you plan on doing the Continental Divide next?

[@FrozensAdventures]

No after this I plan on spending my time with my family until I retire. This hike has really solidified that. The hardest part about this hike has been missing my family and it's the only thing other than injury that could take me off trail.

[@miller12z]

LOL ,want to get 3 behind for an adventure. after work. But seem to catch the 20 min, show. need an hour . Am I ugly. sorry.

[@doubledsinthewild1855]

Hello, wondering what brand your base layer hoodie is? Fleece? Be safe!!

[@FrozensAdventures]

It's LightHeart Gear microgrid hoodie.

[@whatkjsaw4461]

🍔

[@Firesong4ng]

How are your feet in terms of just day to day swelling with daily hiking?

[@blakeadkins138]

What are you doing for food storage through the desert?

[@FrozensAdventures]

Regular DCF bag. Sleeping with it in my tent and hanging when I can.

[@scamp_tails]

What is the current insole you are using in your shoes?

[@FrozensAdventures]

Hike support by superfeet. The desert sand is making the lining wear out quick though

[@edwinbear7065]

Hey @drinklmnt, can Frozen get some love? :P

[@edwinbear7065]

Thanks to @drinklmnt for keeping the boy hydrated on the trail.
