4,270 kms – A Pacific Crest Trail Documentary

4,270 kms – A Pacific Crest Trail Documentary

A 28 year old frenchy decided to thru hike the Pacific Crest Trail ( PCT ) in 2018. This 4,270 kilometers long distance hike goes from Mexico to Canada through the desert and mountains of California, across the john muir trail in the Sierra Nevada, through the volcanoes and forests of Oregon and through the steep mountains of Washington. It took him almost 6 months to accomplish his feat and hike the USA but not without change.

It is an adventure that also enabled to collect 1,300 € for Doctors without Borders.

    what a great video! thank you a lot for this inspiration. wachted it yesterday late night and walked the pct this night 🙂 – i dream from the pct since i have heard from it the first time. 3500 Dollar is not the world, but with the flight, the equipment and the pay for the social security in my homeland (austria, and im selfemployed) the rent (think about renting the appartment – that could possibly work) im at a cost of around 15000 Euros for 2 people .. if i would win the lottery – witch im playing once in a while – 3 times a year .. i would start planning the next day. for sure. what im thinking about ist the Visa Situation?? how does that work? i spent half a year in Ney York just for fun and had to fly to europe just for a couple days to get a new visa and that was 2000. think that would not work in this times.. Wish u the Best for your next Projekts! Be good.

  24. Carl Blanchet on May 12, 2020 at 4:21 pm

    Excellente video! Tres inspirant! Un jour je vais faire cette trail!

  25. Theo64893 on May 12, 2020 at 4:21 pm

    Anthony, Bravo, tres beau film, realise avec beaucoup de gout. J’ai deux questions: (Je suis un trekker experimente americain de 62 ans): Given your experience, do you consider it OK to do the southern 700 miles of the PCT alone? Also, given the heat you had for the southern portion, if you were to redo the PCT, would you start earlier? Mid-March, mid-February? (even if you had to take a a break for a month when reaching Kennedy Meadows, before doing the Sierra). Thanks!

    Bonjour du Canada! Bravo, c’est sûrement un des meilleurs documentaires du PCT!!
    Est-ce que vous auriez des conseils pour les étrangers qui veulent faire la randonnée du PCT? Je prévois d’y aller l’année prochaine 😀

    Man this video was so good, really enjoyed it

  49. sebastien wilfart on May 12, 2020 at 4:49 pm

    Bonjour Anthony, magnifique vidéo, on a l’impression de marcher avec toi et de souffrir avec toi. Tu sembles extrêmement épuisé dans l’Oregon, cela semble tellement réaliste. Juste magnifique. Merci. Depuis quelques mois, voir quelques années, j’ai vraiment envie de faire ce fameux PCT. Ton documentaire m’a permis de répondre à beaucoup de mes interrogations, mais il en reste encore plein. Notamment, comment tu gères l’eau, est facile ou plutôt tendu et aussi les colis sur le chemin, j’ai compris que tu avais envoyer un colis de France, mais il y avait énormément de chose dans ce colis, tu as tout pris avec toi ? Cette question est peut-être évidente pour certain, mais je n’ai pas trop d’expérience, juste une volonté de fer.

    Thanks. I really enjoyed watching the video.
