    Another great chapter pal ... nicely done.

    Oh and who is Tony Blackwell?
    Thanks man!

    Tony is a friend of mine who is a composer. He wrote that music specifically for my videos. He is also going with me on my thru-hike of the John Muir trail next year.

    37 miles, though? Man, that's rough. Good on you for keeping your sense of humor throughout.

    Best Fronkey line to date? "Shut up, squirrel! I'm filmin'!" Even better than, "Release the Kraken!"

    Looking forward to Part III.
    It was a loooong day of hiking and I "SHUT UP SQUIRREL!"... Man, they even interrupt me when I type.

    Kudos on finding the kid and putting together another great vid.

    Thx.

    It was seriously an AWFUL feeling. I was literally looking in all the creeks and rivers in that section because I thought maybe he passed out and fell in one. Thanks for watching.

    Thanks a bunch. I am actually trying to get my average miles to be around 33 miles per day. I still have more training before I can hit that though. lol

    I am definitely jealous of your opening music. It fit you well and your editing does it justice.

    Fun to see the story mature. Your finding of you padawan is a glorious turn, and I am also impressed by your ability to return directly to the hike after a 36+ mile day. Dude, you are the man; even if Coke-a-Cola is your main stimulator.

    Thanks a lot. Tony did an awesome job and I am actually getting a new version of it in a few days from him too.
    I had been training really hard to be prepared for this trip, it paid off thankfully. lol

    Thanks for watching!

    They told us she is a Siberian Husky. She loves pretty much everything except squirrels.

    36 miles on the SHT is freaking insane Fronkey. I'd have loved to of hiked some with you guys but that is way beyond my physical abilities and pace. I think my max for a day was 11 miles and I was shot. Great job on the videos. Fun to watch!

    Fronks, I use Plex to watch internet videos on my big screen over the Roku and just watched both parts 1 and 2 and it was the best tv I've seen in a while.

    Now keep an eye on your hiking buddies and I'm staying tuned for the next installment!

    Cheers!

    I've learned something from Fronkey's thru hikes.


    Never thru hike with Fronkey! Seriously something always happens. Either someone will be lost from the group while banjos play in the distance, or the trees will jump out to get you, or Sasquatch will make you it's baby, or ManBearPig will chase you up a tree, or chupacabra will eat your pack right off your back, or...or...or....well just never thru hike with Fronkey.


    Plus I don't like waking up at O-squirrel 30.
