Customer Rating:      Summary: Great, funny, touching view of an interesting sub-culture and trail Comment: I really enjoyed Scott's first documentary on the PCT ("Walk") and, surprisingly, liked this one even better. It's a nice follow-up to the first film, but it also stands alone as an excellent piece of outdoors film making. I especially enjoyed the tighter pace of this film, that he hiked a longer chunk this time and that there are even more people this time telling their unusual, humorous and moving stories. Highly recommended to anyone who is thinking about hiking or is merely fascinated by the Pacific Crest Trail, is curious about the type of folks who set out on a thru-hike, and for those who especially like wry humor with their docs. :) Beware of salt-crazed deer!
Customer Rating:      Summary: A great follow-up to "Walk." Comment: Scott Herriott's "Still Walking" was a thrill to watch, not only because I was one of the hikers who participated in walking along the Pacific Crest Trail in 2005, but mostly importantly because the filmmaker obtains "inside information" from the hikers themselves about their adventures on and off of the trail. Scott's film not only depicts the tales of hikers on-trail and during town stops, but it also focuses on what a "through-hike" entails through his use of humor and sarcastic wit. Thus, combined with a few serious moments and the filmmaker's own on-trail experience, the film is a great story that will keep the viewer entertained throughout. Therefore, I highly recommend obtaining a copy of "Still Walking" and Scott's intitial production, "Walk" to anyone who is interested to learn about the community of through-hikers, to those of you who are hiking veterans, and to anyone who has a passion for the Pacific Crest Trail.

Editorial Reviews:

In this follow-up to his 2003 documentary "Walk" (official 2004 selection of the Greenwich, Malibu and Olympia film festivals) Scott Herriott returns to the Pacific Crest Trail to find out what tales the Class of '05 had to tell...including some involving salt-crazed deer, a rescued baby falcon and yet another possible Bigfoot encounter. He also revisits members of the Class of '03 to see what they're up to now...including the wedding of Belcher and Navigator who tie the knot at, what else, but Camp Belchigator. Over 100 interviews, beautiful scenery and a longer hike this time by the director as he meanders his way down the northern third of Oregon interviewing those he had talked to earlier in the year. Naturally, he gets lost, runs into three equally stray hunting dogs replete with radio collars and just, generally, has a helluva good time.
