I've Made A Huge Mistake

[Music] [Music] way cooler than just crossing the road [Music] alright let's go oh here we go Oh fancy fancy you're gonna fancy all right all right that's enough come on let's fix it a go let's go and we are off again from Chinook pass this time heading south to White Pass and thankfully mom and fancy are with me so I don't have to go solo this time yesterday we headed down towards the White Pass area and we had a three part hitch up to Chinook pass today so we're gonna see what we can do today and hoping to be at White Pass in a couple of days there's no smelly go home that's nasty well this is not off to the best start I just realize that I've left my trekking pole somewhere I'm not sure where I think when we stopped to take the umbrellas out when it started mr. non-us they must have stopped so mom is gonna truck on a little bit with fancy the problem is when you get things in your hands other than your trekking poles and your hands are occupied you don't realize you don't have them so I had fancy in one hand and her umbrella another and bless him somewhere well there we go thankfully that one only cost me about a half a mile round-trip and every place so smart so I know I was like me and I hope she didn't turn off that's a great I had my guy thanks well that smiley face looks a little grim [Music] be careful when you step on that one wait hey wait wait come down here if you come down come down here come here alright go ahead okay see white guys i thank god this don't tell me how to go pink [Music] look you go from zero to 90 you can see all we need is s'mores and somebody left their full trash and power pit so we can pack that myself that's why you don't burn trash in the fire pit because it doesn't actually usually all burn it every morning was fancies packets kind of a balancing act because she eats a bag full of food a day and so these little saddlebags have to be as close to balance as possible so it's comfortable for her and she's not just completely sagging on one side so you know I just kind of shuffle things around and which makes it interesting every day trying to find certain things I need them but I always put her drink bowl and her food bowl up in one of these little zippers usually on the side with the lat so that I remember it's there today I'll probably put one of these on each side then you know maybe her boots on one side and the drink and the food bowl on the other side or or however it just really depends on what we have in the Chinook just Snoqualmie Pass section when I was alone with my ankle socks being wet and collecting some debris up in the edges and I think where these new ultras hit my ankle I have this lovely little scab here that's like a spider bite I think that's okay but this part is getting pretty swollen and sore to walk on now today so I'm gonna put on some neosporin and wrap it up so fleece not scrubbing it so bad you ready let's go was that your own doings or did fancy trip you it was my own [Music] somebody left their socks hers wants to play so we'll give her a couple minutes this thing is so easy to take on and off I love it all right go ahead go have some fine mom found these random M&Ms on the trail and she's gonna eat them just kiddin she dropped them and says you know what I'm gonna build my immune system and eat them anyway somehow that makes it better than if you just randomly found them right yes you're falling apart first time on this whole trip that she has taken the tumble and it was actually paintball food apparently just right back there where that log is there's a campsite with a beautiful view of Mount Rainier it's there and it's beautiful there just isn't a view of it right now go rock wall tiny little people and like we've come out on a gray Jay Frisby and snow oh she says the snow is better [Music] okay [Music] he's raring to go [Music] you waited for me again okay now go get the granny we have decided that the reason Fiji is so happy to hike everyday if she thinks that random places in the woods a kennel appears a tent so that's why she is such a woman on a mission every day is that she's looking for the next place where the kennel will magically hit me here I don't know if you remember back in 2017 when I lost footage of the crater lake here it was actually my fault but I'm gonna blame it on Oregon because that's where I was when it happened but the same thing has happened again this year out on the PCT for me and this time it was again my fault but I was trying to get an underwater shot of algae that I thought looked really cool what I didn't think about is that it probably wasn't still water resistant after getting my screen replaced so uh when I cracked my screen I got a replace and apparently it was no longer water-resistant Annelise it was waterlogged and my phone is destroyed I try to upload all of my footage after each stretch but unfortunately I was behind when my phone's round and it was only uploaded to the point where this video leads off however all is not lost I sent my phone to a data recovery place and they feel pretty confident that they're going to be able to pull all the footage and pictures etc off of my phone but it's gonna be several weeks before they can get the footage to me if they are successful so this series is gonna have to pause here but if I do get the footage back which again they feel pretty confident that they will be able to get it then at that point the series will continue and that will likely be when I've already begun the Camino de Santiago the French Way with my sister so it may end up that y'all are watching two series at one time and while that's not what I had in mind sometimes things happen and you just have to roll with the punches and go with it so for now what I'm gonna do is start putting out some videos reviewing the gear that I use that was new on this trip maybe cover some things that I learned working with fancy on the trail and then start covering prep and the gear that I'll be taking on the Camino and then hopefully by that time I can start putting out the remaining videos from this series and the trip on the PCT I hope that y'all will be patient with me I'm very sorry I made a stupid mistake but hopefully some of y'all can learn from my mistake that if you get your screen replaced on your highly water-resistant phone that it still may not be water resistant in the least am i end up waterlogged if it goes underwater anyway thank y'all so much for the support you gave me through this trip and if there's anything in particular that you'd like to see topic wise in a video before I start the Camino please feel free to leave that in the comments and maybe I can get to some of those topics before I fly to Spain I'm really getting so excited for the next trip but thanks again y'all and we will see y'all next time
