    Watching folks hike long distances, my observation is that it is a very organic experience that ebbs and flows. Be kind to yourselves and each other as you are doing, and don’t stress about catching up to anyone else, as this is your experience to be enjoyed and savoured in your own time and rhythm for optimal mental health and benefit. Other thru hikers will come and go along the way. You are an amazing couple! I look forward to reading your writing and love Birdcall’s art! Thank you for sharing! ❤

    Awe! Don’t feel bad for having an off day. It started with the stinking mouse messing up your brand new tent! Reminds me of when someone gets a new car and then finds someone had rammed a cart into the side - denting it! Y’all are doing okay! I think you’re just tired and frustrated! I admit I laughed when you were ticked about losing your tweezers - you are so hilarious - guess I’ll grow a beard and a unibrow or whatever you said was so dang cute! I can relate! I NEED my tweezers man! Just a rough day - you guys have got this! ❤

    Something to consider is that the mental, physical, and emotional fatigue you are both experiencing could be exasperated by the extended disruption of your normal sleep cycles with having to get up so early on repeated days to get over the series of passes. Do not be down on yourselves for the way you are feeling, but seek to understand the whole reason why, and that will help you find ways to recover more effectively.

    The beauty of your surroundinds is stunning. Its sad to see your struggles with overwhelming fatigue. One downside to keeping up with a tramily. Sometimes our own needs and wishes get pushed aside to fit in with the group. After 45 years of marriage, our arguments most often stem from mental and physical fatigue. Little things turn into big things. Thank you for being transparent in your relationship. While in Mammoth see if you can find some Tenacious Tape. It is awesome for repairs to tents, sleep pads, packs, clothing. Sorry your new tent got broken in so soon !😮

You may not be a perfect couple, but you work through your disagreements and keep it going with good nature and good humor. Actually, if you think about it, you kind of are the perfect couple. The fact that you admit you fight sometimes, but work through it and stick together seems pretty perfect to me. Keep on keeping on! Thanks for sharing your journey with the rest of us.

The tent now has your special touch to it! Sorry it was such a bad day. That makes life worth bitching about! I think Bird Call did a kick ass job on patching the Hole in the screen with the stickers you were carrying for so long that you got out of a hiker box! Well done!

    "at least it wasn't a bear" 😂 the timing of this comment couldn't be more perfect! Not sure if you've seen the recent question on soc media about women choosing to meet a man or a bear in the forest...? Darlin, you've chosen a BearMan! ❤️ sure, you've had a shitty day, but you're moving forward xoxo

    Due to the road construction around Reds Meadow, the best exit to Mammoth Lakes is departing the PCT at Red Cones via Mammoth Pass. That's about 50 PCT miles ahead (after you rejoin below Paiute Cyn), and there are only two medium-sized passes to cross. So a day to rejoin, and then three hiking days.

    You guys seem so lovely together, and its actually great that you show the reality of the ups and downs. If you need a zero or two zeros, do it! Don't be too pressured by other groups of people, or expectations to finish quickly. Enjoy the time in the wilderness, there are many of us watching on youtube wishing we could have the chance to do it.......

    A couple of years ago I went backpacking with a brand new pack. I took the pack off for about a half hour to take a break and a squirrel chewed a big hole in it to get a snack. I was sooo upset. Lesson learned lol

    I have been hiking/backpacking for more years than you all are old. I remember the first time I went out for a couple of night hike with the older friend who introduced me to backpacking. He was my Colin Fletcher of the day. Anyway, I had with me my brand new, recently purchased Sierra Cup. They were a must have item of the day, not unlike a Titanium pot of some size these days. The first evening when we were waiting for our freeze-dried meal to rehydrate he very nonchalantly asked to see my Sierra cup. He proceeded to whack it hard on the edge of a rock and put a small dent in the bottom of it. I was horrified and not very happy about it at the time. When I asked why did he do that he stated, “You will always know which one is yours”. He was right and I came to look upon that dent with fondness over the years remembering him and all he taught me, more through example than explicit explanation. What’s the point? You too will look at that hole, now very well patched, and remember that moment, the day and all you learned along your journey that you continue now. Good luck and remember, while we grow close to many of the inanimate objects we call gear, it’s really the memories the gear is part of that really matter. Gear will wear out or be set aside, but nothing can take those memories away from you. Happy trails and safe hiking! ❤

    Marriage is not all rainbows and unicorns. Along the way, there's going to be plenty of unicorn poop (or apparently mouse poop in this instance). My husband and I have been married for nearly 31 years, and yes, arguments do happen. But, as he and I say, at least we're communicating, even if it's a bit animated 😂. But seriously, it's okay. No marriage is perfect. Give yourself a nice break in Mammoth (it's a wonderful town). The Sierra is beautiful, but definitely tough! We backpack, hike, and recreate in the Sierra all the time (perks of living in California) and I can't possibly imagine being out for as long as you've been without a civilized break. HUGS!!

    Really love your content and I’m no expert, but you obviously came out here to do more than hike asyour channel says…and that is what you are doing. Maybe not enough. The paintings are beautiful and I imagine the writing is just as good. You don’t travelwritepaint by crushing miles till the end.
