Hi, I’m Elina and in 2019 I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. This was my experience.
Like with your first love, it’s easy to look back at this PCT experience with rose tinted glasses. But the thing I will always cherish truly were “the people.”
Thank you to the Pacific Crest Trail Association for protecting and preserving this beautiful trail for us to enjoy. Thank you to the Trail Angels for the love and support you gave on trail. Thank you to all my friends and family for the love and support you gave off trail. And thank you to all the insanely inspiring hiker trash who made this whole experience everything it was.
We’ll remember this forever.
(Extra thank you to everyone who donated to my Blood & Leukaemia Foundation fundraiser).

Laid in bed watching this and I cried. Wow. I'm currently going through a sort of quarter life crisis and I'm not sure why, but this made me feel like I need to do something, make a change, explore, do something big. When I saw Oregon, the tears came. It's one of my favorite places on Earth. I went there in 2008 and it changed my life. I went on a trip with Wilderness Ventures. We backpacked for 5 days, rafted for 3, and climbed for 2. I'll never forget sleeping under the stars in absolute awe of how many I could see...it was mind-blowing. You did an amazing job with this film, it was so beautiful! Congratulations on your journey. :)

My name used to be Godspeed. I finished my thru hike of the AT just two months ago and it's irreversibly changed me more than I asked for. I'm just a kid, I hadn't even finished high school when I started and the sights I saw, people I met and things I did changed everything I though I had in my future. Everyone always asked about my why and I never had one, I just felt like there is no place for me in the world so why not be a misfit there instead of here. Now my hike is over and I'm living in a house with strangers i see every day. The feeling of not moving, smelling good and just the absence of a backpack is breaking my heart. I never thought I'd miss it at all and now it's all that I miss. I was on the fence about running away to hike the PCT but this video just pushed me off- I'll see you in april. GODSPEED.

@ElinaOsborne 4 года назад

@seanhogan6209 4 года назад

Thank you for making me cry. I also hiked the PCT this 2019 and you couldn't be more right. It is about the people you meet. I started the trail wanting to be alone and feeling like I'd probably never connect to anyone, boy was I wrong. I love my tramily and because of the mutual suffering we now have a bond that only others that have hiked a long distance trail can understand. Thank you for such a beautiful video.

@semperintrepidus16 4 года назад

@@slekdidwbfi8692 I had a long conversation with a keenly observant and studious repeat hiker. We were on trail north of Agua Dulce. He clued me in that those who actually do the distance from terminus to terminus are predominantly introverts by personality. But what happens when a bunch of introverts find themselves hiking, camping, and living amongst other similar personalities? There are certain dynamics that happen on the PCTs that cannot really be predicted, yet they predictably happen every hiking season. Sometimes expectations grease the wheels but the most wonderful developments are usually unexpected. Unofficial rule #1 is Hike You Own Hike. It cannot be overstated. Rare exceptions aside, a long hike is Not a group event...but it Is a shared experience. To truely understand such a dynamic irony, one has to become a long range hiker.

@MPHshoots 4 года назад

I loved your video. It's been 10 years since I finished the PCT. At random moments a sudden memory hits me with full force. The feelings, the longing, it all returns. I'm so glad I did it before I got too old. Even 10 years later my feet are a wreck and I can barely walk. I intend to get out there again, though. I don't care how much it hurts. It hurt every day anyway. The PCT. The most bittersweet, painful/athletic/sorrowful/joyful thing I ever did.

A good childhood is an amazing thing, so much to wonder at, so much to learn, and much growing to do. Such a time in a person's life also includes growing pains. As we leave youth behind, most people get set in their ways and settled into a comfort zone. Growth does not happen in the comfort zone. The wonder of hiking the PCTs is that many get to rediscover and to experience real personal growth...as they step out of the comfort zone. For those anticipating such an experience, plz consider the following opportunity: Get off the Grid. Take the 100 hour challenge when you hike. No devices, no GPS, no email, texts, music nada. Take in a genuine experience for a few days. It will not kill you, but you might just get a real taste of being alive if you dare it.

I've met hikers who only had one working arm, a hiker who had a prosthetic leg, a hiker who was 385 pounds body weight when he began, and even a hiker who was blind as a bat (trail name: DareDevil). Except for the young hikers, I rarely met a hiker who didn't have physical and or mental issues which added to the challenge. Yours truely is no exception, but I think the personal disabilities tend to be connected with the inspiration to put aside the final excuses and just go to it.

I am totally amazed about what you published here. By FAR, the best, most thoughtful, well edited and photographed record of a thru-hike I have ever seen - and, believe me , I've seen many. Could not wait to show it to my girlfriend who is a director (professional photographer, 20 years of experience directing TV-shows, series, documentaries) for the biggest TV-Network here. She was completely surprised and her first reaction was: "There's no way, that this was not done by a professional!". She was full of praise and enjoyed seeing "It Is The People" just like me.

watched this several times now. You've done an incredible job Elina! the intro is amazing. The song choice and slow motion running and skipping. Its incredible. I'll be starting my PCT experience next year in early April. flights are booked and permit is approved. I can't wait. I hope I experience change and grow as a person (as you did). Thank you for the incredible production and see you on the trail one day. hike on! :)

Elina, What a beautiful film on the PCT! You are so right that everything is about the people and the relationships we have and make! I recently started going back to my roots of outdoors and hiking. I am an Eagle Scout for 8 years now and have not done much hiking as I had when I was in scouting! These types of films help push me further into hiking and finding my hiking group! Keep up the amazing filmmaking and storytelling! Andrew

Our friend just started the PCT yesterday and we decided to binge this video and all your chapters. Truly incredible and inspiring! Thank you for sharing everything and helping us be even more excited for our friend on the trail. Keep filming and sharing your experiences - the world needs the positivity and more people like you.

Everytime I'm feeling down, somehow I find myself playing this video. Not only a perfect representation of thru-hiking but from traveling in general. We all need to remove ourselves from screens and get out there because life is passing us by.

Wow. This was incredible. I've never seen anything that so beautifully and perfectly captures life on trial and the trials and joys that come with it. I hope you plan to enter it into film contests! So amazing, fantastic job.

It always feels impossible to convey when you get home to family and friends, so thank you so much :)
