Please do keep up with the health updates; gives those of us that have yet to experience thru hiking ideas on what to expect and what to do about it. Safe travels, Frozen!

@cavemandancer Ай бұрын

I appreciate the candor about how you feel about the snow. I also like the health update. Thanks for bringing us along and being a North Easter I love seeing the PCT.

@ramblingrockstar Ай бұрын

Hey Frozen. Don't forget, YOU ROCK!! Sending you huge support from over here in UK. You got this brother. Stay safe.

@SinchuwusOutside Ай бұрын

Friday Health Updates, yes keep them going. It's good for both you and your family to know how you're doing! Your family is supporting you 110%, I loved the fact that you said your step-daughter has a mark on a map where you are and moving it along. If that's not support nothing is!!! Keep up the great work!!! -dave

@user-hk7ol9ls1e Ай бұрын

One thing I (weJB and I ) always appreciated about you is your awareness of travel conditions and upbeat attitude and not get defeated. Appreciate your health updates

Rattlesnakes are one thing... But don't forget to keep away from the jumping cholla cactus!

@davidread236 Ай бұрын

Excellent production values. Please keep showing us the beauty of the places. Hint/Hack: I keep my Sit Pad folded in half in the back stretch pocket to protect whatever's just behind it inside. Go Steelers.

@beckyleheny8636 Ай бұрын

Please continue Friday updates! Your kindness and consideration to other hikers (snake warning) is to be commended! Your positive attitude will get you through. Praying for your safe passage through the ice and snow!

@jimi5200 Ай бұрын

If tent site is not level, for the slip-sliding sleeping pad, get an 1/8" closed cell pad and lay it between your inflatable sleeping pad and the floor of the tent.... everything then stays put and you don't wind up sliding downhill. The pad also doubles as a sit pad. Mine was from Outdoor Vitals and weights 2.5 ounces. Gossamer Gear also has one.

@carlmcdonald4576 Ай бұрын

Placing a sit-pad under air mattress helps if no 1/8" pad is carried.

@juliegrenet6656 Ай бұрын

You’re doing great Frozen. My husband and I watched your full AT series beginning to end and ready to watch and support you through the PCT series as well.

@DartmoorPaul Ай бұрын

I’m so enjoying your videos, Frozen. Thank you for sharing your journey. I was really touched by your thoughts about being kind to those who are first timers or struggling. I’ve been on the end of some critical comments from cocky hikers, usually about my pack (Osprey) which I love and I love my gear but they’d say “that’s way to heavy, you need to go ultralight or you’ll never make it here”. Those comments stick with you for days, months and have a real impact. It was wonderful to hear you be thoughtful and supportive. ❤😊

@NappingNomad Ай бұрын

Your videos are a breath of fresh air. You're a good soul. I wonder what that dude who said you'd never make it out of Georgia on the AT thinks now? You're killing it man, really enjoying these PCT videos.

@lynx7906 Ай бұрын

I think you should continue the health updates, we are invested in your journey. 14 miles before 11:30 is just crazy!!

@russellinthebush2897 Ай бұрын

I'm pretty sure I had that same burger when I stopped at Paradise Valley Cafe. I had a beer or a few too but all I had to do was walk back to the trail and camp for the night. Keep the updates coming, you rock!

@bionicdan1959 Ай бұрын

Awesome job on your videos! I really feel like I'm out there with you, minus the blisters! 😜 I like that you show us a few of your daily activities other than just hiking, talking, showing the scenery. Nice concerned move to stay by the rattlesnake to warn that other hiker. They were pretty careless to hike in rattlesnake country with headphones on. 😱

@matt67524 Ай бұрын

You’re doing a great job with your videos, they look/sound great and are interesting!

@pale0wl Ай бұрын

I think the Friday Health Updates are great and not only important for us but also for yourself. Keep them up

@TheHikingRev Ай бұрын

Hey Frozen…I was at PVC and Idyllwild this past Thursday. Got to give some hikers a ride. Wish I could have seen you. Keep on keeping on. You’re doing pretty good for an East Coast dude. 😂 “REV” - PCT Class of 2020.

@markathey5329 Ай бұрын

Another amazing video of your epic journey. Cant wait for the next one.

@Psychoticpea Ай бұрын

I like the updates because I think it is important for people to see what can happen on trail and how it is dealt with. It is amazing that your mom put in some cookies for you. Nothing says love like things you get from home. You are doing a fantastic job and I love that you are always uplifting others especially after a few said you would not even complete the AT. They ate them words for sure! Positive vibes going out with Outdoor Adventures and I love to see it!

@doryliggett8407 Ай бұрын

I think LostBoy is coming up behind you. He’s doing CYTC. Good luck on your hike!

@PSUhorty1 Ай бұрын

Loving this PCT hike! I was bummed when you finished your AT uploads.... what , 5 years ago? Anyways, one comment- Like you did for your AT uploads, it would be great if every once in a while you pulled out a paper map and showed where you were, are, and going. Fellow W. PA resident here also!

@kevinballard9661 Ай бұрын

Thanks Jason for sharing your journey. I started following you after watching your Journey of the Soul video. I wanted to shout out appreciation because I enjoy your content as well as the way you approach it. You have a charismatic way of communicating through your videos that makes the viewer feel as though we are right there with you. Anyhow, good luck on the rest of your PCT hike and stay safe! We will be continuing to follow you

Hey Frozen! Great to see you again on another thru-hike! I watched your entire AT trip and I will follow along with this one. Glad to see you are using your head on health and safety. I thru-hike as well…vicariously thru you. Haha!!🤣🤣

Ooof. I had a pair of those same superfeet and that lining didn't even last a weekend trip for me.

Super Feet "Hike Support" insoles are my go-to. Very structured. They would never cause the problems seen in your shoes here.

Those are my favorite as well

@williamshreve9111 Ай бұрын

You’ll be fine in the snow. Other hiker’s have made a path. They had spikes on. Great hike. Like the views.

@BriflexHikes Ай бұрын

After my first attempt at an overnight i did have problems with my pad slipping down. The internet told me to put dots of silicon on my pad or to get a rubber mesh mat for like a sink counter. Its like the backpacking gods told you that someone needed this help, and i sure did lol. Ty

Keep with the health updates. Enjoying this. I’m 68 and feeling like I missed out. So you and others let me see things I would not otherwise see

@soaroutdoors Ай бұрын

As for unlevel tent sites: Put your pack (front side down) under your pad. I do this on level sites to elevate my feet and help with the swelling. You can even stuff your footbox inside your pack if there’s high condensation too.

@joecapers6743 Ай бұрын

Good on ya, Frozen! Hike safely and well.

Cacti thorns will be a pain for the whole first third of California!

@potatothorn Ай бұрын

nice leveling technique i will have to remember that. 2nd rattler! / guy i followed last year did a weekly health update, people really like that i think it is a good idea. more choppers flowers and tons of great views, so nice to be on the pct with you, looking forward to the snow scenes !!

@BkBuddha02 Ай бұрын

You should practice some knees over toes guy exercises! The knees over toes calf raises, and tibialis raises could help tremendously with your Achilles pain and knee pain! I had strained my soleus, which is the muscle directly in front of your Achilles tendon and those exercises helped big time.

Yuck Tule Springs. Lots of Iron smells like sulfur. By the looks of it, you stayed at mm159.3, but not sure. Another nice video.

@keithdavis7595 Ай бұрын

At my age you wouldn't be able to do a Friday health update because it would take all day. LOL!

@notquiteultralight1701 Ай бұрын

I love the Friday health updates! Where you are is where I started my backpacking career. Up and down San J a bunch a times. Up San G a bunch o times. That’s a beautiful area. It’s where I decided I would never use an inflatable pad cuz of the thorns. Frozen! You’re doing amazing and I’m sure the snow was no problem. You’re in shape and hell!! It snows in PA, no? When you climb out of Idylwild you go by Tahquitz Rock and through Saddle Junction before you head up San j. Good stuff there sir. I used to camp in little round and regular round valleys all the time. Beautiful little piece of SoCal! Hey! I know a good way to get a flat lay on uneven terrain😁. I guess you can’t hang a Blackbird on scrub bushes😁. Be careful out there and most of all… HAVE FUN!! Take care. NQU

@Firesong4ng Ай бұрын

Superfeet inserts are either great for your feet or not. I have flat feet and used them for a couple years. I didn't care for them in my actual hiking shoes. Something about the heel density bugged my heels. Liking the vids!

@jkrueger80 Ай бұрын

We use duct tape on those little cactus splinters. It works great and you can pull out a bunch at once instead of one at a time :)

@mikeboard1 Ай бұрын

Good tip, thank you, I’ll try that the next time I screw up.

@edgeveg Ай бұрын

Try scar tape , its as amazing as you are.

@Ryan-yi5ro Ай бұрын

Random dabs of silicone on the bottom of your pad will keep it from ever moving around as well.

@michaelvancini4616 Ай бұрын

Bro your doing awesome. Kicking a@# frozen. Your footage is incredible great videos. Try LMNT electrolytes they are awesome great flavors you won't be disappointed.

@FrozensAdventures Ай бұрын

Yes we love LMNT out here! You can instantly feel yourself focus again. I reached out to them to see if they would sponsor the hike I enjoyed it so much.
