PCT Episode 1 - Diving Into a New Life

[@ashleychurch5420]

As an avid PCT docu-viewer, I'm astonished these episodes have a fraction of the views of other 2022 Thru-hikers. One of the best narration and production pieces I've seen in the genre. I don't know if it is algorithms or what, but CJ, you've done a remarkable job capturing your experience and providing a pride-instilling work of art my friend. Great job adapting to the trail experience, you should be very proud of this life experience!

So good so good so good!!!! Zipped thru all 4, can’t wait for more. Best PCT series I’ve seen since Tip Tap!

[@CaptainJackHikes]

Wow, high praise, I'm a fan of Tip Tap's series as well. Thank you, excited for you to see the rest!

[@cherylhikes2234]

Amazing videos C. JACK. I got excited when I saw the four of us at the start of the trail . Thank you for all your time and effort making these videos. Spectacular Job!!

[@CaptainJackHikes]

Thanks Cheryl... so wild that we all shared that 2 hour van ride before the start of each of our separate wild and beautiful journeys. I remember seeing you after Montezuma and again on San Jacinto on the crazy foggy day.

Transcendental indeed captain Love it

[@WanderingNorth]

Nice. Subscribed.

[@surfingrunner]

Beautifully documented. Love your style of telling the epic adventure of a thru hiker. I hope one day to at least hike the So Cal portion. Just need to tame my anxiety.

[@CaptainJackHikes]

You can do it! Understandable to have anxiety before diving into such an unknown. It helped me to think of the trip in 5 day chunks between towns rather than one massive, impossible undertaking. Just knowing that I could stop and reassess if I needed gave that little bit of reassurance... and before you know it you realize you've just kept going further than you expected :D

[@Rhino8777]

Wow! Great video. Love the style of video you're going for. Let the channel explode. Good job.

[@CaptainJackHikes]

Your support has me stoked. Will keep up the style.

[@jessetellez134]

The tent site at 14:30 looked like a movie set and super cool spot!! Thank you for sharing!

[@CaptainJackHikes]

Yeah, that one felt barely real… also in how perfectly serene it was. Glad you’re following Outlaw, see you at Forester Pass.
