The PNT - Section 5 - THE NORTH CASCADES

While hiking over the North Cascades in upstate Washingotn I decided to shoot a day in the life.... just to show you how dumb I look in shorts. Enjoy!

I am loving firstly, how you edit, but your narration as well. You’ve quickly become one of my fav channels, your personality and energy really come across well on camera, and this video was super well done 👏🏼 can’t wait for the next!

Stumbled across you channel and love your content! I live in the north Cascades and see this beauty all the time, but it never gets old!

[@dyanacarmella1379]

Thank you! Yeah the North Cascades were challenging but soooo beautiful! (=

[@anns390]

Stumbled across your channel - love watching your PNT series. Great day for the "day in the life"!! Way to go.

The part where you came across the snake on the trail is totally me! I did the same thing last weekend in Big Sur, made a slight detour to avoid a snake sunbathing!

Your so funny (and passionate). I wanted to say that and a bunch of other stuff in the last video that has comments turned off. I don't know why I like commenting so much. Oh, I remember what I wanted to say in the last video about the mules . . . bear's don't like mules so they try and stay away from them. I thought that was comforting the first time I heard that. The first time I discovered that the mules wandered free all night was by Benson Lake on the PCT and I camped 5 feet from the trail and mules were walking past half the night. It was the next day someone told me they wandered free and that bears dont like them. @8:45 . . . When I was young I could walk logs all day but now that I'm old and take a pill that makes me dizzy I'm afraid of them but manage to get across them anyway but I have a heart attack on a lot of them.

Just found your vlog. Thank you very much for sharing. You have great presence on camera. Although you didn’t get close enough for a proper ID, the snake was most likely a Coastal Rubber Boa. I’ve been hiking for 40 years in Western Washington and have only seen 3 in the wild. They move very slowly since the weather is very cool for reptiles. They have to wait for a small mammal (mouse).to crawl over them to have any chance of catching it. They only eat once or twice each season. They are long lived with only a few predators like martens, weasels and raptors. I wish you many fine hiking adventures.

[@dyanacarmella1379]

Wow! Thank you! I just have this intense fear of snakes that I never get close enough to identify it. (=

[@NickandRachel]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

[@BackcountryTreks]

Thanks for sharing your adventure 🙌 you’re a total bad ass💪 Your filming, editing, and story is awesome! Kudos for ripping most of this solo🤘

[@HomeFreeinmySUV]

Just found you...as my current friend was filmed by you on the Tahoe Trail...You are one DAMN GOOD FILMMAKER!

[@DaleRoyII]

I hike in the North Cascades often and though I've never seen one there, I still live in the constant free of running into a rattlesnake.

[@longsideJones]

Great quality and inspiring content together with your sense of humour. You deserve way more subs. Thank you.

[@franrd4254]

Beautiful shorts, sorry, I wanted to say beautiful landscapes

Snakes are no Bueno I had an encounter with a Timber Rattler in New Mexico when I was in Boy Scouts I'm not sure how many videos I am into this series now but your way of putting your story together leads one to want to watch a lot of your videos your personality really comes through I like how you have the Personal Touch with a lot of the people you encounter and sharing a bit of the story👍 Seems to always be interesting conversation to be had at campfires at night sharing a meal with new-found Adventures One thing I do try to do I go to big parks and multiple day trips I always try to bring extra Band-Aid blister bandages cuz I've met quite a few people that had some issues with their feet you never know when you can save someone's day

[@dyanacarmella1379]

Thank you! Yeah I love showing the people I meet on hiking trips. They really make the experience great.

[@amyegodsey2164]

Love these videos! Found you through binge watching starbursts videos :) and now I have another trail I wanna do!! You’re awesome!

[@Jari_Leandertaler]

Great video! Great editing! And you are such a good wild person!

[@cheriwhite902]

You are my hero, Dyana, and I hate snakes too. 🍷

[@dyanacarmella1379]

Snakes are the worst! Haha. I can't be in the same room as one.

[@amberstroeder1301]

Aww yes fearless girl!! Besides snakes 🐍

[@Foxr6]

Can't wait to hit the trails this year 🙌

[@dyanacarmella1379]

For sure! I can't wait!

[@dwalker6868]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@guacamole4912]

I have a phobia of snakes too, they are so horrific!

[@dyanacarmella1379]

Horrific is a good word to describe snakes. Haha

[@JustaWagon]

Amazing!

[@jamespaul2569]

I know you said that in your first episode you're not much of a planner(respect, same!) but were there any points on the PNT you were like "holy s**t wish I saw this coming?" Asking cause I'm heading out in a couple weeks w very little preparation. Love this series btw

[@dyanacarmella1379]

Ooooo! How exciting!! Yes there were two areas where I wish I would have done some research. There is a section called Lionshead, I believe it's in Idaho, right before you hit Upper Priest Lake. Its the Lionshead Bushwhack. You're going to go the whole day with no trail. I wish I would have started earlier that morning instead of late morning. I was scrambling for light, and there is zero place to pitch a tent. So start that day early. And I hit the Olympics mid September and it was very cold and wet. I did not expect that and didn't bring the right rain gear. (= Enjoy! Let me know if you need anything else.

[@JaredandTasha]

Wowww where is that place @12:50?!

[@dinosaurswearsox15]

What app did you use for your maps or did you use a garmin?
