[@sandrap3047]

So excited you're hiking the PCT this year! I was watching Heard Hiker, but he just got off the trail. He has a great job opportunity. Hope he comes back next year! Enjoyed watching your conversation with Jessica and Largo at your hostel! Have been following them for years! Love watching them hike the AT!

[@1024Pete]

May your equipment offer you safety and comfort. May you achieve the success you desire. Wishing you safety and good fortune. Happy Trails!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Aww, thanks guys. You rock. Chica and Sunsets

[@dssisson]

The start of the PCT, how exciting! I know how long Sunsets has been waiting for this day 😃. Looking forward to following your adventure.

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Thanks so much Dale!

[@ladygoodday]

I live in the Coachella Valley and assumed everyone had started since it’s getting hot. Definitely following along!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Still a bunch of us out here for sure. Thanks!!

[@mountainjackietr511]

It's all falling into place; you guys are pros! So excited for you two! I agree with Greg...I'm not a hitchhiking fan either. I'm chuckling that you're talking about food already in your first video! lol Stay cool...cheering you onward!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Aww thanks! Glad you’re tunning in.

[@stevenvarner9806]

Welcome to the beautiful California chaparral. You'll see a lot of the shrubs and wildflowers blooming now, so it should be pretty spectacular.

[@Itsallabouttheviews]

So great to see you on trail again!! When im working i will be looking forward to coming home and watching you videos!! Hoping it doesnt get too hot. Happy Trails!!

[@tanjarott7535]

I am so excited to get to follow another one of your hikes!!!

[@NuttyHikerOfficial]

So happy for y'all! And so happy for the first video! In fact, I was so excited that I forgot Jerry and I are supposed to watch them together and ummmm well.....lol. We will watch it when he gets home and I'll pretend like it's my first time haha.

[@ChicaandSunsets]

That’s so funny!

[@robertbarnes4]

Good first day in the books. Stay safe!!

[@twitizen]

Sorry that I don’t comment at all, I always watch y’all on my TV, but I wanted to wish you best of luck from my phone this time around!

[@ewokinthewoodscairn8908]

And so the journey begins! Hike safe, have fun, and enjoy

[@malibusean9312]

Congratulations on setting off on you grand adventure. Thanks for taking us along!

[@RebeccaWBuras]

[@victoriamoore1294]

Hi from Vicki Bend Oregon area! Happy Trails ☘️

[@littlethislittlethat456]

Ooooh Sunsets looks so sunburned at 9:24. Be careful!!! Brushing my teeth is always strange backpacking. I normally use a Sonicare but on the trail, I use a small foldable toothbrush. It's always like learning how to brush again when you make the switch. it's so awkward. And the toothbrush always wants to fold. John from MI

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Not sunburnt, though it looks that way. I often look like that with exertion. Totally protected with clothing and sunscreen. Thanks!

[@lilchaphikes]

Great first day!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Hi Lil’ Chap! Thx so much!! 😊

[@LionessHiker]

Excited to watch your journey. I pray for blessings on your way.

[@Mtnsunshine]

Congratulations on the beginning of your grand adventure on the PCT! Epic times are ahead! Thank you so much for taking us along. Have a fantastic time!

[@GoHikeToday]

Happy Trails at the start of your PCT adventure!!

[@scotthicks919]

So great to see you guys back out on the trail! Looking forward to following along!

[@tangenttrails]

What beautiful weather for your launch day and best wishes on your walk to Canada with lots of fun in between!✌️

[@kampersadventures958]

Great start my friends! Excellent idea to take a couple hour siesta….definitely helps. So excited for your journey. Thank you for taking us all along for another epic adventure.

[@nj2mddude205]

Don't forget the sunscreen.

[@thruthebiblewithmicey]

Off to a great start! Have so much fun!

[@TributesTrailTalkandAdventures]

15 miles in that heat is dang good. Stay safe in that heat.

[@cherylbarns-y4m]

So excited for you. Always use caution in your travels. Many new experiences to come

[@cottontalesfromthetrail5474]

Great seeing y’all out on the trail again! Happy Hiking

[@ChicaandSunsets]

And great to see you commenting again! Hope all is well.

[@pappy3502]

Amazing start, thanks for sharing and keep on truckin'!

[@Wanderinginthewilds]

Yay congrats on your start 👏👏👏👏👏✌️🤙

[@tomt9543]

Really surprised to see this vid pop up! I followed y’all’s A-T hike, then lost track of you two. This year I’ve been following “Hiking Dancer” on her PCT hike, who I also followed on the A-T the same year as y’all I think. Even though she’s 400 miles ahead of you, I’ll be watching both channels! With all the press about the border these days, is there any concern about the safety of hikers on the south end? Be safe out there! This thing is a different animal than the Ap!

[@debsmith7050]

Great Beginning!!!

[@hikingmovie]

Congratulations on a great start!

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Thanks!

[@chriskelly6559]

Good time to start, probably won't see much snow till the Sierra. Good vibes your way! Crackerjack.

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Yep, we’re happy with our start date. Looking good.

[@jerrimichael499]

Just found you and will follow along

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Welcome!! 🤗

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

And so the adventure begins…and I’ll be following. Great idea to siesta out of the sun. I’ve often wondered why PCT hikers don’t do that. That midday heat had to be tough. Have fun! Oh and thanks for the horny toad. I haven’t seen one for at least sixty years.

[@EvansBackpackingVideos]

Good luck on the trail! I’m excited for you both and hope you have a great hike. Thanks in advance for the videos!

[@blakemcclenny4914]

Finally. I've been checking KZbin everyday for your guys start!

[@donnacarver5181]

Safe Travels y’all! Looking forward to following along!

[@gratefulhikes]

I’ve been waiting for this! I’m so excited to follow along with this amazing journey 🙏 be well you two.

[@eurekaforward]

I enjoyed your IAT videos, and am looking forward to your PCT videos. Thank you 😊

[@christinamattix7907]

It will be interesting to see the PCT through your videos! Enjoy your hike.

[@ladygabe2001]

Congratulations! So excited for you guys. Good luck.

[@meriwethersayan]

Excellent video! Daily video I hope. So excited for you! Have an incredible adventure.

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Thanks. Hope Franklin is treating you well. Will post a couple of times a week with a few days on each video.

[@mdbdoc]

So excited for you guys. Thanks for sharing the hike with us.

[@iceagerrb2800]

Great start! I’ve been birding forever and never seen a hummingbird nest🤷‍♂️Noticed the trail is overgrown- are ticks an issue there?

[@backpackingwithjalf-Jeff]

So glad to have met y’all at the POC and now getting to tag along with you on the PCT

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Hi again :) thanks for watching.

[@flowerpower1980]

Best of luck and excited to follow your journey!

[@barbaramassey3787]

Love you guys!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@debiherzgedling7255]

Seems like it was a good start. I know how reactive Greg is to heat so I think the siesta thing is an awesome idea. Love the succulents and the horny toad--so different from around here. Do Barb & Pat drink wine and/or beer?

[@ChicaandSunsets]

Yep breaks are working well. Easy to get overheated, for sure. Yes, Barb and Pat like beer and wine.
