Trekking Around Three Fingered Jack | Breaking My Personal Mileage Record

[@duckdog2017]

Nice video. It's an annual hike of mine. A piece of advice for those that want to try this trail. Go counter clockwise. The very exposed east side is obviously scorching, but if you knock that section out in the morning the hike is more tolerable.

[@HikeOregon]

Yes next time I will do the loop the other way

[@medor6635]

Wait what? You did that loop 9 hours? Lol My backpack is about 35lbs and doing two overnights up there this weekend to shoot landscape and timelapse. Great video.

[@HikeOregon]

Yea I wanted to do it faster but the snow slowed me down. This year for my birthday I did the McKenzie River Trail (26.6 miles) in 11 hours, so that kind of gives you an idea of how fast I generally hike when there is no snow. You’ll love it up there, great landscape for photography and astrophotography.

[@Shine13373]

I'll be heading there for this loop Fri/Sat myself

[@HikeOregon]

Have fun!!!

[@leviconnelly79]

Great job!🎉 Love the video 🌲🌲✌️

[@seanhumphreys5498]

Sounded a bit grueling, but good job on persevering and making it through!!!!

[@HikeOregon]

I had no choice with it being a loop. Lol. I don’t love this hike because it is so exposed to the sun but it is incredibly beautiful.

[@seanhumphreys5498]

@@HikeOregon it looked amazing, so will probably still do it this year. Thank you for the great video!!!

If you encounter an anthill, you could lay a towel on it let the Ants spray it, shake them off, and use it as an anti-tick and mosquito rub, after wetting it a bit of water. almost all insects hate it. or use a miniscule amount of formic acid. much cheaper then most mosquito sprays. just a tip. that is my naturalist Birthday present :-) congrats to the record.And your birthday.

[@HikeOregon]

I hate the way ants smell 🤢🤮

[@brianduckfan]

One day? I did that hike in three... :-) You're badass. Nice work.

[@HikeOregon]

Aw thanks!

[@matthewhowell527]

Congratulations on your new personal best for a day hike. Quite impressive. Waldo Lake was an intense day hike, I remember that. Great video, I was your 100th "like". I look forward to seeing more videos from you this summer. On a side note - how is your Garmin InReach? I'm seeing more and more bad reviews on them from PCT hikers in the forums. Curious of your thoughts.

[@HikeOregon]

When I did this hike little did I know that a few weeks later I’d be doing an even longer hike in one day! Currently my PR for mileage in a day is 24.5 miles. I hope to do 26 for my birthday this year. The Garmin works great for what I use it for. I don’t use all the features so I can’t speak on those things like tracking and such. I love it and it gives me piece of mind. It has never failed in sending a message and even when I’m in the woods messages don’t take longer than a minute to send.

Hey so funny story, a few years ago, I was on that same trail. The first view area you show with the rocky cliff side and a view of black butte, I tripped, nearly fell, caught myself, watched helplessly as my water bottle went tumbling down the hill. Was not my finest day.

[@pkh8121]

Congratulations! Some beautiful views, thanks for sharing your hikes with us. 🙌👍🏼

[@HikeOregon]

Thanks for watching!

[@Kallepeng]

Alle Gute nachträglich zu deinem Geburtstag Franziska! Glück und Gesundheit für das kommende Jahr. Viel Erfolg weiterhin bei all deinen Projekten. ...bleib wie Du bist. Alles Gute aus Berlin/Deutschland für dich und deine Familie.

[@grahamambridge8370]

Great stuff thanks. I’m still hiking in the lake district in the uk. Now done 186 out of the 214 wainwright mountains. Keep hiking! Best regards, Graham uk.

[@enachemirabela9109]

Happy birthday ! Super beautiful hike. :)

[@CopperCityPatriot]

Oregonian wilderness, makes the views from the Adirondacks... soul-crushing. Looking forward to the another Summer adventure at Hood River. Planning to at least mountain bike to Cascades National Park. Just something to do.

[@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749]

Happy birthday and what a good way and place to spend it love that area!

[@Boodieman72]

I didn't know Red Bull came in flavors. TYVM

[@HikeOregon]

It’s the best thing!!!!

[@mhobie1]

I think once you tap 30 life just gets better because your able to live with a developt sense of being, just remember the pace of years really ramp up from here on out so live everyday to the max you seem to have a great grasp on the concept.

[@williamburton307]

Great hike! Epic way to spend your birthday !

[@coaroas9243]

That makes for a long day! It's be very hot out there, but that always present sub has a way of sucking it out of you. I always wear a hat, but my neck gets super red. Need to bring a Buff.

[@Trond_tidstypisk]

Happy birthday. I am one of your international followers, from Norway. I am not familiar with the measuring system in the US. When you talk about how far you have been hiking I have to calculate how far it is in kilometers. When you talk about the weight of your gear I have to calculate in to grams. When you edit your video can you somewhere on the screen put the international mesures? Best regard Trond

[@mhobie1]

Great hike, I've gotta get up to 20 mile days, keep up the good posting.

[@caborico0677]

Happy 31st birthday! Love the video and the amazing views! It's videos like this that makes Hike Oregon the channel that I just can't wait for a new video! BTW, you were moving! 21.5 mile trek in 9 hours? That's 2.4 MPH not bad for wilderness hiking.

[@jimmenge5984]

wow steep going! Yet beautiful. 22 miles! You are a strong person. "I'm over it." hahahaha

[@HikeOregon]

I was SO over it!!! Hahaha

[@ShawnClaycomb]

Great video, I was at Smith Rock on Saturday and took a video.

[@PushAdventures]

Happy Birthday! I am enjoying your videos. If you want a hiking buddy on a weekend, let me know. I hike more than my friends and prefer to go with friends so I can always use more. You can find me on Push Adventures on youTube. or Tisha West on Facebook. I just started documenting my hikes on youTube. I live in SW Washington, but willing to drive to areas of Oregon.

[@geofflewis8144]
