UNUSUAL CAMP WILDLIFE, ANOTHER FALL & MUIR HUT - DAY 84-85 | PCT 2019

Day 84-85 of my Pacific Crest Trail journey.
MILE 831-838.6 (& BISHOP TRAIL/PASS 11.5)
I get asked a lot about support on my hikes. I never ask or expect anything as I enjoy vlogging my journey and sharing it with likeminded people. However, if you let the adverts run and not skip them I can earn a little bit of pocket money from this! For those of you who continue to ask how to donate, my PayPal account is; paypal.me/marymansfield79
Filmed using;
↠ Canon PowerShot G7X MarkII - amzn.to/2TMr0mV

Thank you for taking the time to watch my video, I appreciate it so much.

Oh my gosh 🧚‍♀️Tinkerbell! You have been through tough adversity these last few weeks, but always in good spirts, smiling and looking at life on the bright side! Despite your falls and the challenge of the snows, ascending and descending in terrain conditions that is outside your element...you are a total trooper! 👊🏻 You still manage to film some incredible scenery, edit and upload the vids too! Funny mating ritual of the Sooty Grouse. Poor male, doing all that dancing and fanning for the female whose like, "Whatever dude...talk to my backside!" 😂 Happy trails to you all! 🌺

[@carrdoug99]

Sooty grouse. Really cool you saw the male displaying. The flowers are shooting stars, one of my favorites.The Sierras have some of the biggest I've seen anywhere. Can't get over how much more snow there is this year over last.

[@sselt]

Those aren't Wild Turkeys or Sage Grouse either. That's a pair of Sooty Grouse. Great footage of the mating display.

[@AnimalSites]

As Curly would say, "Look at the grouse! Look at the grouse!"

[@jamaxadventures2068]

Tinkerbell your PCT adventure is definitely showing true grit and determination through the epic Sierra scenery. Thanks for sharing. Hope you are on the mend now, hike safe today : )

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks so much! Yes I’m doing good thank you and I’ve been healing well. Still feeling strong to finish the PCT!

[@Sidesurf100]

The unstoppable and unflappable Mary!!! No matter what happens, you're always positive and always looking forward.

[@JimBobele]

Bishop is somehow the centre of the world. I'm following you since you started. I flew over from Europa for a 4 week roadtrip last week. I did some hiking in Yosemite and Tuolumne meadows, Lyell canyon. Two days ago I ended up in Bishop as well at a nice car camping spot. And I also had to re-supply there. Very nice and friendly town. I'll go on to Arizona and Utah and do some more hiking there. Happy happing...

[@4Score747]

That looks like the cleanest place on earth! Absolutely stunning! (In the beginning when you were next to the raging river) thank you for sharing!

[@martingonzalez-ic8zh]

Lovely wildlife :). BTW, you 3 interrupted the Grouse mating ritual LOL :) :) . Such pretty views. WOW. Just Lovely. sooo much snow... the snow cones are soo strange and pretty. Oh no TinkerBell sorry to hear about your fall. Try to be a bit more careful :) oh my the views 360 at the end of this video... lovely wow WOW . Safe&Happy Trails

[@Bummville]

great nature footage on this vid

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Thankful to hear the 'Good morning' again! Still loving your beautiful videos. Blessings

[@vickiebartnicki4216]

An amazing video. Oh my. So sorry about your fall. Like your new shades.

[@robinmills5827]

There is so much beauty in the Sierra and your eyes are open to it all. I hope you have been able to trek through to Tahoe. Hike well Mary.

[@derekfox5510]

Mary what a wonderful video it still amazes me you edit them on your phone, plus all the uploading you do when you are in town. The scenery you get to see each day is incredible, but my word you and the guys have to work for it especially with your injuries 😳 I'm loving the new look 😍 Happy hiking my incredible sweetheart 😘😘

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you darling ☺️ When I come home I promise never to complain about my Mac again, although you might have to upgrade it again for me as I’ll need it to run faster than ever!! Miss you sweetheart, not long now😘

[@tootsla1252]

Bishop is a great hiker town! PS: You have the best laugh since Whimsical Woman (class of 2018). It’s good to hear you having such a good time - trials and tribulations aside😎

[@paulwise3001]

Love the Sage Grose. You had a rear amazing awesome veiw of a Maiting Pair. You got to see that crazy very rare. I grew up in the hiking and fishing up there and never saw that. You are definitely seeing the beautiful Sierras. Good choice on PCT. Be safe there young lady peace be with you

[@99jkane]

Figures that the Belgian would be able to navigate the waffle shaped snow. Adventure of a lifetime, Tink!

[@TheMrsKKB]

John Kane he’s German though 😉😉

[@99jkane]

The Mrs. KKB -oops! I thought I heard him say that he was from Belgium. Sorry, my mistake.

[@jimdavidsmith4374]

I love the Injinji socks. Haven't had a blister since I've used them.

[@dennyegstad1477]

The Sooty grouse were awesome., also the wildflowers you were wondering about are shooting stars. Bummer about the fall. Like all of your fans I hope you are ok and can continue. Since it is labor day in real time the suspense on how far you have made it is like a mystery. I look forward to seeing the rest of your journey. Keep smiling!

[@susantruelove2125]

In all that snow, where's a St Bernard when you need one...a tot of brandy is just what you need for those ribs. take care Mary. Happy hiking x

[@randysmith6493]

Nice Grouse display. Those are some big Sun Cups, even frozen they can be a bit tricky. Nice your getting the full California experience with the Earth Quakes.

[@antheablackmore5838]

I never realised when you started this just how stunning the scenery would be ! And my god you are an inspiration the way you handle your injuries , keep safe all of you x

[@scottsteel2334]

Beautifully done video. Hope the rib injury isn't long term. Keep heading North, you can do this!

[@SweetTone76]

The half way point is like “let’s get moving and get her done!” Just get your rest and put them hard milers in because Oregon and Washington in late October is a tough trek, happy trails and hike on! 🍻 you got this. I just finished the Pacific Northwest Trail and it was rough bushwhacking. Not a popular trail.

[@delmorejr1950]

That little beauties are a Sooty Grouse, just courting a possible mate. Another day full of the wonders of the Sierra Nevada. That Purple and Yellow flower appears to be a Sierra Shooting Star wildflower. What are you doing to yourself, glad you have a good tramily to give you support. SAFE HIKING

[@hikerstl]

Great video of the mating Grouse. Extremely lucky to have seen. I felt sorry for the fellow showing himself in all his glory and she is totally bored. By the way, the flower you talked about is commonly called "dogtooth Violet"(it in the lily family). It is pretty common all over the hemisphere. There is even a variation that lives here in the chaparral in San Diego County. I was totally surprised by that since usually you find it in wetter conditions.

[@standingonmountain3975]

The new top and glacces look great on you, perfect mountaineer ready for Everest 😀👍

[@yellowroseoftexas2890]

OMGoodness, So sorry to hear about the injuries. Y’all watch out for one another. Great video! Thank you for sharing.

[@michellebentz3576]

Crazy beautiful scenery today Mary! Thank you so much for sharing views i would otherwise never see 💜

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello Mary, happy Friday to you. Thank you for another fine video along with your great narration. Thank you also for stimulating the economy here in California. All the best to you and the two Amigos. Be safe, take care and always keep that charming personality. 🤗

[@felipecastellon4740]

I also broke some ribs. Chili's baby back ribs! You my dear lady are a strong woman that I wouldn't mess with for all the tea in China hahaha. Love your videos. Take care.

[@iansellars4153]

great video Mary, what amazing scenery

[@johneason6540]

You guys are moving along well! Thanks for sharing today's injury report! Get well, take care. And be safe!!!

[@jeffreyrule8143]

Beautiful scenery. You capture it. Hope you mend quickly.

[@littlethislittlethat456]

Sorry to hear about another fall. Hope you mend. I'm thinking that this may not be the best year to hike the Sierras. Fantastic views for sure. John from MI

[@narrowboatfarm6218]

really nice music in this one

[@Jimbo-pm1dp]

Hey Tinkerbell....glad you didnt get seriously hurt falling....great video....great opportunity to get the Grouse mating ritual...stay safe out there !!!

[@summernoir]

Love watching your videos! Your new trail family looks to be a great supportive and fun group! I live in the Sierra and you're totally inspiring me to get out and hike these beautiful trails as often as I can!! Wondering what brand and style sunglasses you bought? Love them and your new shirt too❣

[@TrailAngelRock]

Love your story and it was wonderful meeting you yesterday

[@aeropilot4419]

10:10 Shooting Star : )

[@bertman4]

Those damn rocks, they jump out at you when you fall. So this is where you broke you ribs? I like the new shades and new shoes!

[@chrisdonahue2420]

What’s up with your backpack?? Switched? How? When? Why?

[@trakyboy5128]

No fun falling w a pack on......or off 4 that matter 😟😟 Sun cups 🤪😜😰 Booo... Mary these things are preparing u 4 what is coming. even though we are month or more behind you,, u r still in for a few treats 😉 😁😁

[@bmw325eye6]

When do you plan on being on Echo Lske Summit part? My gf and I would like to hike to tahoe city with you if possible

[@dankappus7004]

Maybe it's the British accent, but you remind me of the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail: "Merely a flesh wound!"

[@MarysOutdoorAdventures]

🤣🤣🤣

[@BelligerentBurgers]

Mary, did you have to get a Visa?

[@robinrutledge219]

could you comment on what tents your partners have and what they think of them?

[@kcouche]

I believe Mary's in love...

[@charlesfrazier2908]

I don't think those birds are turkeys. Turkeys are a good bit larger. Maybe they're Grouse. Sorry about your fall. It happens to everyone.

[@TheWanderlustChronicles]

Those are Grouse, Not turkeys. Still beautiful to see.

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

Turkey ? Grouse of some sort. You must be finished the trail now.

[@johntubbs]

They are Sooty Grouse in a mating display - the grouse family has some really cool behaviors during mating/breeding season.

[@tommckinney1489]

I thought the bird was a turkey the first time I saw it, but I don't believe that's right. It's a Sooty Grouse. nemesisbird.com/photography/photo-study-photography/sooty-grouse-sierra-nevada-mountains/ Anyway, nice views of the trail. Hope you and your trembly heal quickly. Hike On!
