The whole video thing is new for me—like the whole backpacking thing! I chose this song, “Steady, As She Goes” by the Raconteurs, because it is about doing what is expected of you. Hiking for an entire summer, including 25ish consecutive days, is certainly not what is expected of me. I wouldn’t even expect it of myself. I hope this video is as raw and jumbled as what I’m experiencing. I think the JMT could be the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Here’s a glimpse into what we’ve done so far and how much I’m freaking out/excited for JMT. Like I say at the end, Bear Gryllz really does have nothing on us.

Hike Yeah is kind of the whole reason we're here. The founder, Alex Head, is awesome. This is his site.
Hey! Great video, looks like you’re off to a great start! I am so busy hiking and working for an adventure company right now I hardly have time to blog or anything but I hope I’ll get more on top of it as I go on. Good luck and cheers

Loved the video. Wish I was with you, but I am really enjoying the updates. It is a rare feeling to carry everything you need on your back through new and beautiful country! A hard thing to explain, but something that will never leave you once you’ve experienced it. Hope you’re having a great time.
Sorry to get philosophical on you, but I’m sitting at my desk at work at 5:45, facing a ride home in Dallas traffic. I am sooo . . JEALOUS!
Great video, excellent choice of music!
Lauri……I’m John’s dad. I love the video and look forward to following you guys for the next month. I know you all will have a great time as you soak in some of the most beautiful scenery on the planet.
Thanks for your comments guys! I always appreciate your philosophical musings, Greg. And I too would rather face Mt Whitney than Dallas traffic. And Mr Thomason- thanks for the support. we will have a great time and soak up the beauty. I’m psyched to share it with you when we get back
I’m glad to see we share musical tastes, Mr clemmons. If you have any suggestions for the next video, send them my way! Thank you all for following us, and check back in a month to hear about JMT
