I cried at the end of this video. Fuck, the whole journey was stunning. I cried when the trail ended and then I cried at the news of your mom's passing. a
It's quite crazy how different the Sierra-section can be. In the vid 'The art of walking' from Austin Seder from 2021, the Sierra-chapter is entitled 'Easy livin' (almost no snow at the same time).
HI Elina. I recently discovered a song which made me think of you, because you're great at incorporating music into your videos (thanks to you I discover Prince of Spain's "Explore"). The song is "Hi Ren", and to me, in regards to you, is it's a song of camaraderie between creative people who have the courage to persist and share their meaningful work with the world. On another level, it's about the struggle of being human and how to gracefully navigate life. The song popped off a year ago, so you might have already heard it, but if not I think you'll find it moving and inspiring. I hope life treats you kindly and best wishes.
Did you see Darwin's shout-out for your original PCT video?!?! "It's the people, It's the people, It's the people!!" OMG!! Please tell me you saw this!
You are all so young. I am doing everything opposite of you, where I did all my athletic challenges when I was younger, and want to do my first “major” thru-hike in the PCT after retiring. I would love to have learned the lessons you all learned on the PCT at the age you learned them.
Hi Elina - hey on PCT do you recall how you did your cellphone plan ? I’m guessing you used your cell for txt etc on trail. Also inreach or the kiwi PLB - thanks so much !
hey mate, I purchased a sim while I was there! AT&T I think. I actually didn't have an inreach at that point, but if I were to do it again, I'd have the inreach mini :)
As someone who's hikes all over the Sierra's, I have to say they do not end at Kennedy North. They get lower, but its still the Sierras. Otherwise, nice videos.
No way… thats 5 years already ? For me your movie was absolutly life changing moment. It grow Inside of me for two year when i was rewatching it every few months. After that i decide to change everything and move to Canada. Now i still thinking how i promised myself that when i would be lost In life i have to go and do some long thruhike. Te araroa is still calling today and i think next year would be the year. Thank you for your amazing journey and great videos. Thank you.
Hello. Set to hike PCT in April 2025. Great video! We share the same last name. Where are you from? I am in Cleveland Ohio. My Osborne heritage takes me to the UK.
loved the simplicity of walking sth island but hated the sandflies whos only life purpose is to bite some poor bastard whos trying to sit down for a few minutes to relax
This entire series was my lockdown love! A real moment in time I wish I could revisit for the first time. Such storytelling and passion. Thank you Elina❤️
