Знайшли загублену стежку в диких лісах: похід у хащі Америки | Випуск 29

I continue my hike across America, having already covered almost 4,000 kilometers. And when it seems that this journey will not surprise you anymore, you find yourself in the wild forests of the northern United States and walk along abandoned trails. This time I am not alone on the hike, and a boy named Sasha, who turned out to be another traveler, joined me. He wrote on Instagram, said that he also wants to go on a hike and would be happy to share a few days with me, walking through the wild thickets. And I agreed. And the adventures did not keep us waiting. On the first day, we went off the intended route and found ourselves alone with absolutely remote forests, where there was no one except us for tens, or maybe hundreds of kilometers. It turned out to be an old lost trail, which had long since become overgrown and disappeared from all maps. And it was it that led us deep into the primeval wilderness of the northern United States. 00:00 — Introduction. Results of 135 days on the road and the story of how fellow traveler Sasha from Seattle joined the hike. 02:08 — Descent along an old lost trail: steep slopes, rocks and reflections on why this section is no longer looked after by volunteers. 03:04 — Passing the ridge, conversations about the future and landscapes reminiscent of New Zealand and Japan. 06:13 — A difficult crossing of a turbulent river without bridges and finding a place to spend the night after 30 km of the journey. 09:46 — Morning at the camp: Sasha prepares forest coffee "with the taste of a stick". 11:32 — Hiking along a wild mountain lake. 13:26 — Unusual shelter from the rain under a rock ("hotel" in the bushes). 14:09 — Return to the official and well-maintained Pacific Crest Trail. Search for a free campsite near the lake after gaining 1200 meters of altitude. 15:35 — The chipmunk problem: inventively hanging food between trees using a trekking pole. 17:35 — Morning of the third day: a novice's night fears due to forest rustles and a discussion of the advantages of multi-layered clothing for sleeping. 21:09 — Day hike: Sasha rests near a beautiful canyon with a waterfall. 23:46 — Lunch in the mountains: tasting Icelandic and Dutch tourist sublimates. The advantages of hiking without a gas burner (cold-soaking). 29:00 — Overcoming a pass at a height of 1900 meters. Thoughts on solo travel, the difference in walking pace, and the importance of saving captured files to the cloud. 34:25 — Fantastic views from another pass over the valley and lake below. 35:59 — I was scared to death by the wild animals. 38:10 — Searching for a fellow traveler by the lake: a coded message on the ground in the shape of a trident. Memories of spending the night in the same place 3 years ago. 39:27 — An unexpected twist of fate: canceling plans in Seattle, suddenly saying goodbye to a fellow traveler in a parking lot, and arriving in the touristy Bavarian town of Leavenworth. #hike #forest #travel
