Let's go for a little walk. Today I start the Arizona Trail and fool myself into believing that starting from the Visitors Center is a good idea. Please join me as I start a new adventure!

I forgot how much I enjoy your videos. You always add value to the viewer, make it educational and entertaining with your storytelling and filming style. Thank you, Jay. Wish I could contribute right now. Got interested in the AZT through reading memoirs. Glad I found this on your channel.

@moyashisoba 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing. What a first day, great job with all that snow and winds. Stay warm and have fun! Greetigs from Hamburg :D

Looking forward to watching your vlogs on the AZT! It will be my first view of this trail.

@JayWandersOut Год назад

I hope you enjoy it! I loved the AZT. It was such a wild experience compared to other trails and it was amazingly beautiful. I had a great time out there and Tina and I have discussed doing it sobo for her to experience it as well.

Awesome footage, Jay!

@zackerywhite482 3 года назад

I’m two days ahead just got to Patagonia today. Have fun! There’s a ton of peeps on trail this year

@travisgrimm 2 года назад

I have the S21+ and will be hiking the AZT in April. Thanks for the vid

@Everydaybackpacker 3 года назад

Dude, the journey begins! So excited for you. I bet it feels great to be on the trail once again. I’m going to enjoy following along my friend. I bet the platypus bag survives.

I've seen plenty of people get by with the water bladders, but I'm not willing to chance it. Same thing with air mattresses. I like them, but am 150% sure I'll pop it.

@TheHikingChick1 3 года назад

Great to see you starting! I haven't watched any videos of this trail since I've been so obsessed with my PCT Prep. Looking forward to watching your journey. Glad to know the S21 has good mic quality. I just upgraded. Going bare bones for vlogging with just my phone.

@desertdc123 3 года назад

Awesome, thanks for documenting your journey! Can't wait to catch up with your posts. At 1:12 for the Ocotillo plant you pointed out, your first pronunciation is correct - not the second pronunciation. (Oh-co-tee-yo, not Ah-cah-till-oh) No matter how some in Arizona mispronounce on Spanish words. Same type of Spanish pronunciation with Saguaro cacti, once you're lower in elevation in the Sonoran Desert...

@mikestandish2492 3 года назад

Jay- I did 300 miles on the Arizona trail as a warm before we started the PCT in 2018. Remember it being cold and having it snow when I hit Patagonia, but absolutely beautiful. Good luck! Ruffles

@inthedirt3224 3 года назад

nice to have some water caches

@JohnTubbsMB 3 года назад

Glad to see you're out and going - I'll be following along. You mentioned agave and yucca flower spikes. Agaves only flower once and then the plant dies. Yucca will flower and stay alive to bloom again. The agave you showed around 5:00 was in the process of dying. The spikes then fall over and hopefully each flower will dispense seeds where it fell - under favorable conditions, you'll then get a line of young agave plants along the line that the flower stalk fell.

@lisampb8178 3 года назад

Thanks for showing what it's really like out there. Please be careful. Any kind of slip and fall can affect you afterwards.

@danielyacykewych4066 3 года назад

I just discovered your vlog. I thru hiked the AZT 2 years ago start day March 4. Enjoy it and yes it’ll be hella cold.

@berniekitching7668 2 года назад

As a hiker, knowing your start date would be helpful:)

@JayWandersOut 2 года назад

Thanks for the suggestion! I thought I included it somewhere but maybe I didn't so I added it to the description. Feb 17th, 2021.

@knotfinley 3 года назад

Wife and I love your videos.

@pR13S7 3 года назад

Hello. Thanks for your video. What stuff sack do you use as rain cover for camera?

@bobv8219 3 года назад

Truly a intelligent human

@alanwrobleski 3 года назад

You might encounter some more snowy and icy trail conditions once you get to section 28 and further north

@tinmanandoliveoylsadventur7129 3 года назад

You're making me want to switch from the PCT this year to the AZT, lol!

@BushidoDevilDog 3 года назад

“From the -Halls- _Pass_ of Montezuma... To the trails of the PCT! Jay wanders out and shoots video, For rest of us to see!” LOL! 🤣 Semper Fi, Devil Dog! 😎🍻

@cynthiasimpson78 3 года назад

Sound quality is really good with that mic.

@jeffreyrule8143 3 года назад

Congrats on your first day. What do you think your packed weighed with water at the start? Stay warm.

@extremelydave 3 года назад

SCORE!!! Found out from Rance120 that you were on the AZT!!! Now I have 2 videos to watch while eating my 4 course dinners in my nice, warm apartment before getting into the nice, soft, warm bed.... I bet you're freezing your butt off in that single wall tent Jay!! Good grief!!! Your mic is doing pretty good in the wind you're getting so keep on keeping on Jay!! I bet you're glad you brought that shemagh with you!!! They are worth their weight in gold in hot OR cold weather, eh?

@ThomasSteves 3 года назад

I thought you were supposed to start off with an EASY day?! Good to see you back on a long trail.

@Ericidryfly 3 года назад

I will vote that they both survived

@CB-ei6ez 2 года назад

Hey Jay I'm starting to follow your adventures on the AZT while I'm watching your adventures on the AT2022, at about 18:53, there's a video shot of a rock that looks like a face, it looks like an ancient monument of some sort, also how did you get the water stash there? I noticed you had some water stash and some bushes did someone leave that water for you? Also I'm trying to find the link we discussed the gear you using for the AZT, I noticed that some of the trails were covered in snow, would you recommend microspikes?

@JayWandersOut 2 года назад

A few days prior I drove to the parking lot and hiked up the mountain with a bunch of water and stashed them myself. After the hike I just camped in my car in the nearby national forest then drove to Phoenix the next morning to drop off the car. I carried microspikes after Roosevelt Lake but honestly didn't think I needed them. It's entirely luck though. Spikes are good for frozen snow and ice but I had a lot of slushy snow. You may or may not need them, again all just a matter of luck. Often with slushy snow if enough people walk in it the pressure compacts it to sort of ice but there was hardly anybody near me hiking. For the slushy stuff waterproof socks definitely helped way more! Not fun stepping in near freezing puddles constantly all day.

Brrr. Well, after all it is February! But those views are worth it.

@SteffenThomsen 3 года назад

S21 regular, Plus, or Ultra?

@CRAIGNV Год назад

HI JAY, ON THE AZT. WHAT PLACES DO YOU RECOMMEND SENDING A RESUPPLY BOX TO. THANKS Starting March 23 2023

@JayWandersOut Год назад

I'd say other than Roosevelt Lake you're really fine. It's almost mid way and the store is tiny and expensive. They do charge for packages though.

@randysmith6493 3 года назад

No micro spikes? Interesting no ice in Smartwater bottle, and bag frozen. You going to put the bladder in your sleeping bag 🥶? I would be glad to hear later if you like the Enlightened Equipment Jacket relative to comfort, it should be a lot better to sweat 💦 in, I have had my Mountain Hardware down flatten on me from perspiration. Nice views up there. I do hear more ambient sounds with that mic. we’ll see how you like it up there tonight , burr.
