Congrats. That was an epic ending. You even got some nice fall colors for your finish. You are the only PCT hiker I have seen get any fall colors this year. I'm still watching one hike, but I'm pretty sure they have been done for a month. So I'm not expecting any there. 🇲🇽🇺🇸🇨🇦✅🎊🎉
Congratulations Doug, what an amazing journey. Thank you for sharing your highs and lows and the fantastic views and videos of this epic trail. I have watched the videos of many PCT hikers over the years but none have been as enjoyable as yours. Welcome home, get some rest and watch out for those bees.
So awesome! I’m 76 and began following you as more mature hikers and not all of the 30 something podcasters out there trying to make a living off the trail. Plus you guys are way more interesting. I live in Bellingham, Wa and have had two major surgeries over the last 3+ years and I’m not able to hike like I used to but it’s all good as I’ve picked up other interests that keep me happy. I hope your transition back to society goes smooth as the trail is real life and all of the ugliness of today is hard to take sometimes. That’s why nature provides for me. Check out hiking around Mt Baker and Artist Point sometime. You will not be disappointed. Peace, MOOSEHIKER
Thanks for following along glad you enjoyed the videos! I will definitely check out the areas you suggested 👍👍 Seems a bit strange being off the trail but it’s sure good to be home! DJ
Morning Morning morning! I will miss hearing that. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. You are loved by many. Congratulations on completing a huge, life changing challenge! Welcome home !! ONWARD!
A fitting end to this journey…. your family, friend and new friends share such love and consideration for each other for all the trail, border to border!
Thanks Matt! Thanks for all your support and following along … even after Marty had to leave the trail. Maybe when his knees are all fixed up we can all go on a short hike … the Sawtooths on ID maybe !!
Congratulations. Followed from day 1 and at times had to play catch up on videos from all our Sierra backpacking trips. Thinking back on places you were at by our house, and it seems like a lifetime ago. What i enjoyed was the enjoyment you had of your surroundings.
Great adventure. You are to be commended on your video work and balance with verbal comments. A good blend. Loved the homecoming with family and friends. Be well. Relax. Be glad your are retired.😁 From the Selkirks in NE WA. Onward..
Congratulations and Happy Birthday! I'm glad our paths crossed in Indian Heaven. I've enjoyed watching your journey since and plan to watch and learn from your California start. Maybe one of these days I'll get a big trail under my belt too. Cheers. Onward.
Great Job! Congratulations to all of you. Thank you for recording this for all of us. I thoroughly enjoyed every episode. Was nice to meet Gaiter also. Wish I could have met 24. Glad to be part of your celebration.
Awesome for a group of good looken ole fellas...lol😊😅 ....hey us old man muscle 💪 still got it 😁....great journey my brothers ...now go home and enjoy your beautiful families ❤️✌️🙏
Nice work, it wasn't an easy year for sure but that makes the completion even sweeter. Way to persevere on the harder days with the fire business etc. Enjoy your Fall and Winter, you earned it!.
@@dougseiersen7607 I was Sectioning it this year (all of OR to Whitney) but pulled out in Southern Oregon when it seemed like it was fire after fire and air quality was awful (July). Also when I called home everyone on my block in NorCal was evacuating for another fire here. I was fine physically but wasn't as dialed in mentally like you. I'll work on that and give it another go another time. I went back and watched all the episodes that I missed while out on trail and your positive attitude is hugely infectious. I was hoping to do a pass and greet on trail which would have likely been in NorCal. Nice teamwork with the gang! Cheers
What a beautiful and emotional final video. Had me in tears! A big congratulations to you and your buddies on this monumental accomplishment. Thank you for taking all of us along for the journey. It has truly been inspiring. Would love to see a follow-up video at some point down the road, with the groups overall thoughts/opinion on the experience, highs and lows, etc. That would be awesome! Congratulations to the 3 of you again, and what a homecoming! What an amazing way to wrap things up. Onward!
Thank you for following along. It was never my plan to record all these videos, it just sort of happened as a request from my kids .. just to share the trip a bit. It turned into something bigger, it really helped me out there ... knowing people like yourself were finding joy in watching and following along. Thanks for that! ONWARD!
Wow! CONGRATULATIONS to all 3 of you and your support team! So happy I stumbled across your videos back in June. I've watched all of them from MX to CA. The videos always had a calming centering effect on me. Something to look forward to on RU-vid after a long day. I don't think I'll ever get to do the PCT myself, but watching your series has to be the next best thing. Very sad (for me) that it's over, but unbelievably happy for you that you guys completed the trail!!! Much love, respect and thanks from Loma Linda, CA:)
I’m so glad you enjoyed the videos and followed along on this crazy adventure. I will miss all my new friends, the trail, creating the videos and all the inspiring and kind words I have received. Thank YOU for being part of this life changing journey. ❤️❤️
Mornin mornin mornin!!! Doug you are amazing. So cool all the people you’ve bonded with, the many memories and so many stories. You are blessed and so are we to know you. Well done my friend!!!!! Much love K&M
