"Chasing Jason" is hilarious and I love that they have also gotten into the spirit of supporting you not just by holding a spot for you but also encouraging others to be healthy. Its so awesome!!

[@tylerreeves8026]

Seriously, what a great company culture they have going over there!

[@grantgrow]

I wish we knew the company to patronize them

[@FishsticksinAZ]

The Sierras are absolutely beautiful. It’s like trekking through a Bob Ross painting. Almost there 👍

[@cathyspencer3058]

I can feel your excitement building. Awesome step challenge! Glad you’ve got Bigfoot for company! Love the views and nature sounds.

[@Lewman211]

2nd Breakfast! I see you are taking up the habits of the "Hobbits" First Breakfast, Second Breakfast!!!!! Just kidding loving the videos and the scenery. You all be safe out there, and God bless you all.

[@jamiwoods8678]

I just wanted to give you a shout out. You Rock! I also wanted to say that I really appreciate you having a moment of silence (several videos back) for those who can no longer hike and be outdoor enthusiast or those who are no longer with us that loved hiking and being outdoors. I am one of those who can no longer hike or camp outdoors. It brought me to tears that you realized what that means to people like me. A lot of people don’t realize what a loss that is to people like myself who loved being outdoors and hiking until you can’t do what you love anymore. Happy Trails to you and you have a fan for life. Thank you so much!

[@OldPackMule]

The difference between an AT hiker and a PCT hiker? An AT Hiker prefers a little dirt mixed with his rocks where a PCT hiker prefers little rocks mixed with his dirt.

[@wolfeadventures]

That first pine tree coming out of the desert is such a welcome sight!

[@TheBonswah]

You guys appear to be in good spirits! I'm glad for you you got to meet up with a dude like Bigfoot, you two seem to have matching genuinely good personalities. (shout-out to my fellow Dutchie, where is he from in The Netherlands?)

[@j.stephens257]

So cool that your employer did the step challenge! Safe travels.

[@potatothorn]

bathtub laundry is awesome i will remember that for road trips! got to laugh about the bus not showing up, glad it worked out ok. .. so fun to see you in this area but sounds like you were ready to be in the Sierra, i imagine you are having her best time on earth by now/ neat stuff about the step challenge/ yes it shows up on the bigger screen, just barely, but that is the Sierra out there. thanks for sharing, and again -the 4k is awesome

[@floydmietus6624]

Does bigfoot have a KZbin channel? Great video I really liked the resupply and other stuff your doing

[@karenanddogs6645]

I am so excited for both of you! Kennedy Meadows is getting ever closer. Your surroundings looked green around you today which must have been great now that you are moving out of the desert. Looking forward to each one of your videos Frozen! Safe travels.

[@davidkoeck3695]

Always looking forward to watching your videos and progress on KZbin and Instagram. Stay safe All the best.

[@russellinthebush2897]

Tehachapi to KMS is a tough section and has long water carries. I bet you get there in six days, not seven. It took me a day less than I planned, which worked out as I mistakenly packed a day short of food. Seeing the Sierra for the first time is very special!

[@deanwinchester6654]

Good to hear your company let you have a leave. Don't need to stress finding a new Job. Nice you met Bigfoot, a friend on the trail.

[@michaelthomson5101]

Thoroughly enjoying following your trek. Stay safe.

[@ALORDW]

First thumbs up and second view. Personal best for me. Aren't you glad after a long day to have that Flextail pump. How wonderful to be on a LOA instead of having to find a new position. A) You must be a good employee and B) You work for a good company. Congratulations!

[@jeffortl4495]

Can you show more pics of your campsites? Before you're all set up it'd be cool to see the diff available tent sites and which one you chose and their proximity off the main trail

[@vliet1x]

Very nice from your employer to estimulate your colleagues in getting more steps.

[@philippehamel57]

Bigfoot's English is so good that I imagined he must have lived in the US for a while prior to starting his hike. If that was his first time to a Walmart... I guess I was wrong hahaha

[@naturallyadriftphotoadvent123]

That is pretty sweet news on your job! Get some rest, you look exhausted! Keep up the great hike, love seeing you out on the trail again!

[@user-ei1ym1lq6h]

Employers usually don't make that offer, you know... shows that they really like and support you as a person- so rare, these days! I need to get out of the public sector, I know when I resign, next year, they'll forget my name before I walk out the door. 😄 Glad it worked out for everyone. You and Yeti be safe in that snow.

[@kmcgoeshiking27]

You are doing great!! Awesome news on your employer giving you a mileage of absence!! Keep on truckin. Frozen!!

[@Shane7492]

The Sierras are incredible. It is a hiker's dream. Just be prepared for mosquitoes.

[@AJKPenguin]

MOAR Breakfast! Bigfoot and Walmart, what a combination.

[@JoshRobertss]

Really inspirational mate keep up the good work love from Australia 🇦🇺💚💛 tell big foot keep the good work up as well 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@Whitewavewoman]

I am loving your journey however so far the AT is more beautiful to me.

[@AndyObusek]

We should all totally setup a KZbin Chasing Jason Fitbit challenge

[@vagabondwildernesswanderings]

Keep em coming!

[@billeshelman4640]

Great videos!

[@PSUhorty1]

Thank you!

[@lem0053]

Long time follower. Watched you do the AT, that was an awesome series. Glad you are able to hike the PCT, look forward to seeing your videos (great content). I was just wondering if you have considered using an umbrella (Gossamer Gear or Six Moon Designs) to provide some shade especially during current section of the PCT. At any rate enjoy your hike and be safe.

[@cavemandancer]

Amazing Stuff. Your spirit is commendable.

[@KB-ce7gf]

Hey Frozen!!! It's great watching you on the long trail again. I was wondering if you could do yourself a favor and ask yourself if this song has a special feeling inside when you hear the song WAGON WHEEL? I was listening to random music and this song came on. It sooooo reminds me of your AT hike whenever I hear it. Just thought I'd send you a memory. Enjoy the ride.

[@bige5565]

Thinking praying you are doing fantastic

[@davidbrasfield6357]

When you met Roadrunner, did she tell you where she got the idea to throw rocks at rattlesnakes? If not, you should ask her if you see her again! 😁

[@Bandit1379.]

Power Crunch bars are so damn good... Look for the Salted Caramel ones!

[@fishntools]

Ditch the trail protein bars for energy you can feel.....PayDay bars!

[@seniorhiker2883]

It’s Tehachapi, Gramps AT21. That looks like Frozen.

[@christinereber1861]

How is food storage going for you? I haven't seen that you have a bear canister with you yet . . .

[@lynx7906]

Hey Frozen! If Bigfoot is willing, can you make a short video about his backstory?

[@christinadimauro7673]

People always talk about how the PCT is easy. Doesn’t feel so easy during those 20+ mile climbs.

[@adlacz7691]

Hey Frozen, how are you? Hoping this thru hike is going well for you. Few questions. 1) dont you get hungry because of the small volume of food? that's plenty of calories but those are small portions. 2) is this trail treating your mental health positively?

[@ChrisfromFL]

Just out of curiousity, when you say it's hot, what type of temperatures and humidity are you talking about? Just wondering, I live in South Florida temps are currently running in the high 90'sF and humidity near 100%, heat index near 105°F. Thanks!!
