We did it! They say the end of a race can be the hardest part…well this JMT thru-hike was no exception. What an experience…what a ride! This adventure was like none other for my brother and me. Rewarding, challenging, grueling, tranquil, frightening…it was all there. Nothing worthwhile comes easy and I will be forever grateful that Strider and I were able to experience this together. Very, very good times!

Yes...knowing that was the last pass started to put some finality on the trip. Even then, it was still just so surreal to experience. I had to remind myself this was ACTUALLY happening and we were ACTUALLY doing this. I think about it almost every day. Can't wait for your next episode on Friday!

Austin, thanks for filming, editing and producing these 6 videos for us to enjoy! It was a well balanced capture of the CA high sierra at its finest! The narration was also very good, capturing the good, bad and ugly! It was a bonus to see it filmed with a nice camera, not an iPhone that distorts reality. Even the video from your gopro looked correct. Kudos!

Awesome video series Austin! I used to get out and hike alot but have slowed down. Watching this series makes me realize what I have been missing. And about the views... I have often thought when I look back at the photos and videos I took of that area several years ago.... there's no justice to what you actually see and most importantly.. feel when you are standing there looking out on forever! If you ever have a empty spot I'd love to tackle something like this.

When we got back, that was one of the very things I told people when they asked...there's just no way to properly document these mountains to capture that "feeling". Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

It definitely felt like we were on another planet sometimes...unparalleled landscapes. I think I had more of those "is this real" moments as I went back to edit this series. "Holy smokes, we actually did that". Thanks for watching as always and hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

One of the e best JMT videos I’ve watched. Really enjoyed how you created each episode. Wish I had your skills! Heading out NOBO end of July to JMT. Really interested in everything you packed. Do you happen to have a lighterpack you might be willing to share? Felt like you were bringing similar items to what I plan on bringing. Anything you wish you would’ve brought with you that you didn’t? And vice versa? Thanks for sharing your journey!

Congrats on scoring a permit! As a matter of fact, I'm editing a video right now that addresses some of your questions! Be on the look out in the next week or so if you're still interested. Here's the short answer to your question lighterpack.com/r/e5vai7. I built that a few months before we hiked the trail so some of the small stuff is different but its a 95% solution. Only thing I wish I'd had that I didn't bring was a pair of gaiters to keep dirt/gravel out of my shoes. I talk about that in the video too. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!

@SideTrailAdventures
@SideTrailAdventures 2 месяца назад
Strider used the Big Agnes footprint for the tent. I believe it was a Copper Spur UL2? He got it because that was the footprint designed for the tent. I don't think he had any complaints. Thanks for watching!

How do you like the X Mid 2P tent? I’m looking at the pro DCF version. Have you looked at the outdoor vitals; vertice hoodie and nova jackets? Their awesome alone or as a layering system. What sun glasses are you using?
@SideTrailAdventures
@SideTrailAdventures 2 года назад
Loving the X-Mid...I've definitely drank the Durston Kool Aid at this point. I'm excited to see what the "Pro" version looks like! I've casually looked at other jackets...the vertice being one but I just haven't pulled the trigger on anything. My OR Helium II still stays true to me so I'll just keep sporting that for now. As far as sunglasses, I have a pair of Oakley Flak Jackets...my go to. Thanks for watching!
