You're telling me Cody hiked for 5 days in one of the most beautiful places in the world and didn't do a single "what a view, wish I could show you guys" bit???? This is true character growth.

cody is slowly transforming into his dad and it's wholesome

Cody out here collecting titles: IRONMAN, ultra marathoner, hiker, KZfaqr, DJ, podcaster, studio owner, husband, father, and of course most impressively, hobby horse professional. Seriously, I love that you share all of your adventures with us in such an engaging and genuine way.

I’m being 100% serious when I say this. English is my second language and I’ve never been able to identify a Canadian accent until I heard Cody’s dad speak. I hear it now.

Hi Cody. I am a dispatcher and have been on the other end of those Garmin InReach SOS. I have communicated to people who’ve gone through horrible, horrible things. Thank you for immediately stopping and calling for help. We don’t always get to see the fruit of our efforts, so I’m glad Paul is okay and got the help he needed quickly. Thank you for sharing this and being there for Paul!!

I promise, cody- 230, 330, 130 miles… is still *kind of* impressive.

I’ve always really admired Cody for his character, kindness, and empathy and so it’s cool to see the people who raised him and see what they’re like. Glad to hear Paul is ok, wishing him the best in his recovery. Rotator cuff tears are no fun.

Cody, I just want to say thank you! I started watching Cody Trains in January and decided to start walking on the treadmill while watching your vids. 8 months later and I’m 70lbs down and running my first 5k next month! This channel has been a life changer! 🎉

I found Cody through girl defined, no joke, I was looking for vids on how to dress modestly and fell into girl defined…. I felt like dog shit after watching their vid, thankfully KZfaq sent me Cody and Noels’ reaction video. Here I am, years later deconstructed from all that religious trash and fit and a fiddle thanks to Codys inspiration!

There’s something really wholesome about Cody’s mum laughing at him farting. I’m sure she laughed at her gassy little boy when he was a baby

can cody’s dad start his own vlog pls im so thoroughly entertained by him

Love to see the hiking. Glad Paul is okay, that'd be really freaky. Your parents roasting you about having condoms in your backpack was hilarious

dying at the 10 year old condoms 😂

Injuries can be brutal. Hoping for a quick recovery for Paul. I dislocated my shoulder 16 months ago rock climbing and have been dealing with a frozen shoulder ever since. Definitely a change of lifestyle for someone who loves being active and outside. Running has been one of those things I’ve been able to do throughout this injury and it has helped me so much. Glad Paul’s okay and he’ll be back out there in no time.

The love I have for your parents is endless

*gets into a debate about kilometers or miles* “ooh ookay. Soorey” - our daily reminder that this is a Canada-based creation

I always forget how fucked my family is until I see people like this have happy healthy family relationships and then I go oooooooo right yeah my family members are all nuts and that wasn't a normal way to grow up 😂 this is wholesome and I love it

Dear Cody, this is going to sound weird but these videos have genuinely been helping me get through the worst depressive episode of my life this year, following a diagnosis of PTSD. You consistently showing your love for moving your body and getting to amazing places where you can see the world in all its incredulity have helped me reconnect with what is important and given me a reason to keep going and to get through to the other side. Honestly, especially with this channel, these videos feel like a warm hug, and often in my darkest days I will rewatch ones that particularly resonate with me (ones surrounded by nature usually!). Also - what you said at the end where you’re always closer than you think, that was very helpful in not only a literal but a metaphorical sense also. So thank you, I’m sure you will never see this comment but I truly wish you all the best in your next adventures, including you and Kelsey becoming parents! Choo choo 🚂

cody's nonchalant "thanks" after his dad pours out a single raisin LMAO he knew

Cody's parents seem so chill and up for adventures, love to see it Also cool to see the sierra mtns with that much snow still after the massive amounts from this past winter.

Cody joking about jumping down the snow slope earlier in the video and then it actually happening to that guy is the best foreshadowing anyone couldve asked for

Lol Cody is basically becoming his dad. So cute and wholesome. Nice to have such supportive and adventurous parents. It makes a lot of sense why Cody is who he is now

Your parents are truly incredible❤. What the ACTUAL. Couple goals.

YOUR PARENTS ARE LITERAL SUPER HEROES DAMN. You’re so lucky, they’re so cool and they raised such a good guy. Love you Cody!

finding condoms in front of your parents is funny at any age

literally this is my favorite channel of yours now. You are the guy who literally motivated me to get up and be active more. Much love to your beautiful family and Kelsey

nothing better than a cody trains video starting with someones dawgs and a condom

“Ohh yaaaah” - Cody’s dad So Canadian fucking love it

As someone who was forced to do wilderness therapy and backpack for two months straight this video has inspired me to try the outdoors again!

Sending well wishes to Paul! Glad to hear that he is okay ❤

As somebody who has lived in the Midwest for my entire life its hard to even comprehend that there are places like this. Great video Mr. Trains and glad Paul is ok!

Cody id love to hear an episode with your parents on insanely chill! id love to hear about their experiences of being endurance athletes and all the various challenges and races theve completed! I think itd be so fun to hear and so wholesome and even more inspiration for us than you already give us!

"If it's not scary then you're not thinking big enough" !!! I got back to the gym today after months of not going, so your end messages really resonated with me! I always "look at the mountain" and it's so easy to feel discouraged or like there's going to be a very difficult journey ahead. Today I took the first step (again lol) and it felt good. Choo choo!!!

God I am hoping Paul is okay. Disslocating a shoulder is no joke, its good to hear he's in recovery and can hopefully hike in the future!

Jeez! That last part about Paul falling is crazy! My uncle hiked the PCT and got to a look out point and looked down and found a dead body. Make sure you hike with a buddy!

cody is already so good at the dad jokes, can’t wait to see him & kelsey be parents

Ahaa so Cody Ko is short for Cody Kondom? You learn something new every day!

I love how this technically a "running" channel and yet Cody can share life lessons from running. Goes to show how much you can learn while doing physical activity.

I don’t even workout, but I love keeping up with you and your achievements!! Great job cody! Congrats on little baby.

Love the message that you distilled from this journey. The way you reacted to seeing each peak you had to cross reminds me of how I see almost every challenge/goal in life. They can seem impossible at first, but as soon as I start to chip away at them, my perspective immediately changes, and I can see just how I'll get it done. Or in your words, a ten minute walk can make the peaks seem miles closer. What a truly scary way for this story to end to. Super happy that all four of you made it out of there in one piece.

i have been hiking and backpacking around the pnw with my grandma and cousins my whole life (first week-long trek was when i was 9) and watching this video gave me so much second-hand bliss. :)) i love being out on the trails and rock scrambling and such, and though it is always tough when you have to majorly shift your plans due to conditions, and especially when you have to deal with an accident/injury and all the stressful unknowns that brings, it looks like you guys still had a blast overall and the lessons at the end made me grin. true in life and on the trail: be careful, look up and check to see where you're headed but keep an eye on your feet, weigh the risks but don't just fearfully avoid all of them, if you need a breath stand still for a moment of rest, take care of each other, embrace the adventure, and ultimately just keep taking steps. :)

Please keep posting your outdoor adventures!!! I’d love to see you get on a mountain bike!

I've been recovering from spinal surgery for seven months now, and I'll be hitting the trail for the first time (edit: first time since injury) in late September. Just a day hike but I'm so nervous, excited, and scared. This is so inspiring, I miss it out there a lot and every time you share a view I "wow" out loud and get more excited. I'm doing a section of the PCT

Awesome message Cody. Hoping you relaxed after the climb! I imagine the numbers on this vid will be different for you, but really happy you put it out! Best wishes to you and Kelsey. Ascend together!

It's a bummer that it didn't go as planned but this was such a cool video! I'm glad you documented it!

I’ve been watching this channel from the start and it’s by far my favourite thing you do. It’s so helpful to have these weekly reminders to go out and live life, and do things that scare me. A few weeks ago, I went on a solo bikepacking trip inspired in no small part by this channel. I was terrified to do it, but I prepared well and did my best. Such a cool life experience, and now I want to think even bigger. Thank you!

So glad Paul is okay! Moments like that happen so quickly, glad it wasn't as tragic as it could have been. Like Cody said, nature does not care about us, and it does what it wants. On another note, great job thinking on your feet during disaster. Wishing Paul a quick and easy recovery!

The wilderness definitely teaches you not to get complacent. Hope all goes well for Paul!

Backpacking through a beautiful place is one of the best feelings in the world. I just climbed mount Lafayette in New Hampshire this weekend so this video felt so relatable. Thanks Cody for inspiring us to get active and explore nature

Love this channel, Cody! I used to run to a high level and been in a rut for years after leaving college. I’m inspired to start again!

Man cody every day you inspire me more and more. I can't wait to get back out there and start running again. You and your family are incredible, we love you guys!! So glad to hear that Paul was okay.

i'm 3 months post op from an ACL reconstruction, certainly not a linear rehab but watching this content as an avid outdoorsman who cannot do any of that stuff for at least another 7 months helps me visualize getting back to it. wishing you injury free adventures and a speedy recovery for paul, stay safe out there!

praying for paul! have a speedy recovery!

Video has gotten me fully motivated to start working out, got me watching your backlog here and already planning out my walks/runs to start bettering myself. Thank You Cody, Choo Choo

One vid away from 50 on this channel! How far you've come is incredible. You truly did all this by yourself, supported by the people you love, just for the sake of living your life to your own fullest potential. You inspire many people out there with all of the hard work you put out into the world, and on the side of all that sharing all these incredible experiences with us. We get to live through the ups and downs, and love and care of your family and friends. Thank you for everything you have done for others, but mostly for everything you have done for yourself. You're an amazing human being who should never be stopped. You did it, Codester. We all love and appreciate you so very much. All the love and respect!

i think this channel is even more impactful than you even know! like laughs are great and narrative content is great but this is so important and real!! i always finish out the videos feeling majorly inspired and genuinely excited to get active

what a beautiful experience to get to do with your parents. such special memories you are making

About a month ago, I hiked Mount Kilimanjaro with my dad and a small group of hikers. Throughout this whole video, I couldn't help but think about that trip and how life-changing it was. I think it would be an experience you would really value and make the most out of. It was the hardest but most rewarding thing I've ever done, and helped me see how capable I am of doing hard things as I train for my first marathon. If you look into it at all, I highly recommend Thomson Safaris-some of the kindest, strongest, and most thoughtful people I've encountered. This was a beautiful video and thank you for sharing this experience with us. I can't wait to see you accomplish that run with your dad!

Y’all attitudes through all of this is so encouraging

I ran my last half marathon 16 years ago and will be running the Royal Victoria half marathon in B.C. this October because of this channel. I signed up for the Melissa's Road 5km race in Banff two weeks leading into the half. Nice to see your dad wearing his Melissa's road race shirt from the 2022 race!

"You should be scared. Otherwise you're not dreaming big enough." Thank you, Cody. I'm in my very first month of starting a small woodworking business, and that is exactly what I needed to hear. I hiked the John Muir trail a few years back. So cool to see you get after it on those passes. The backside of Forester is an absolute ass kicker! Stay blessed, everyone ✌🏼😌

I’ve never thought I’d love watching Cody do something that I love this much. Glad he had fun

I’m going on a 7 day canoe trip in a week! This video gave me such good vibes and is making me really excited to get back out in the wilderness, completely off the grid and roughing it :)

As someone who is constantly dislocating my knees and shoulders, I can totally feel Paul’s pain 😭 I know the feeling of waiting hours just to get your joints relocated, it’s not fun at all. Hope he has a good recovery 🙏🏻

Such a great lesson, that is one of the things I try to remember when doing a hard hike, or a hard life thing, plus once you take those first steps it's all over so quickly, like the finishline is way closer than it seems

Love all the content - thank you for bringing us along Cody!

glad everyone is ok. been backpacking in that area before and have seen people fall 1000ft slipping down ice sheets trying to get to the top of whitney getting seriously injured in the process. good call turning around without or even with the proper gear.

Cody’s dad sounds so Canadian😭

Glad Paul is ok! What a trooper. Can’t imagine going through all that.

I genuinely liked this video the best. I love backpacking and to see a small glimpse into where/how other people hike is so cool to me

You are seriously the most impressive person. Bless your parents as well, how cool to do that together. Hope Paul feels better 🙏🏻

Usually Cody doesn’t let us see the views (even though he wishes we could see them), so it was a nice change of pace that he shared the views this time

Well wishes for Paul!!! ✌️❤️🙏

Loved this video Cody, you’re really so relatable and it just feels so good to watch your videos

Hey man, just got my Cody Run Club shirt and wore it for training day today preparing for my half marathon this fall. First half for me, and each long run is the first time for that distance... today was my first time doing a five mile run, ever! Thanks for the inspiration and sick shirt. We ascend together!

“Proof of poop, present your poop” 😂

love you cody. you could be doing the same exact thing every day but would still find a way to make us smile !

If anything, the lesson is...'Wear your cleats!' 😂 Glad he's okay and thank you for sharing it with us bc that was absolutely stunning!!! 🤩😍🥰👌

Came back from my first backpacking trip in the Jasper area yesterday. And today I get this gem in my recommendations! Good stuff as always , I’m surprise by the amount of bugs you guys got, it was too cold for them out here in the Rockies. Choo choo baby

So cool seeing you hike at Kearsarge, I’m doing the PCT and passed through this same section. I remember commenting on how inspiring your videos were for the trail! Keep it up man!!

Amazing video. Thanks for sharing the journey and your lessons learned!!!

This was fun, thank you for sharing. Sorry Paul was injured but glad it wasn't more serious than it was. Hiking is great training, did 15 miles across the Sandias here in Albuquerque yesterday. Choo choo my dude!!!

I hope Paul is alright! I'm glad everyone else made it back safe. I absolutely loved seeing you on an adventure with your parents. Legit great content, so fun and inspiring! Choo Choo

"Read it and weep buddy." That is a good father right there.

loved this vid! excited to see you run from LA to SD!

cody is so funny here. his comedy jumped out with his parents around. i love when that happens to me i feel like a comedian around my papa

Hiking is honestly really fun for me. I’ve been on multiple week long and even a 2 week long hiking trips thanks to Boy Scouts and even with family trips. I’m glad Cody did this

Backpacking wilderness trails is my favorite thing in the world. Love this so much. Also having been in emergency situations out there myself, it's noooo joke

Hoping for a speedy recovery for Paul. Thanks for bringing us along, Cody! The views were amazing

Cody looks like such a dad in this thumbnail… it melts my heart 🥹

Oh my God I hope Paul recovers well ❤ scary for you guys to witness too and I'm sorry you guys had to do that.

That ending lesson was actually really powerful. Thanks cody!

nothing better than backpacking in the Sierra. hope Paul is feeling better. stoked to see you enjoying the mountains.

another AMAZING video, I’m always so inspired by everything you do, ilysm cody 🫶🏻

enjoyed this cody. once again super proud of you dude!!!

We need more “Cody goes backpacking” videos

The mountains are amazing and unforgiving. It’s always a risk we take going out in them. I really hope Paul makes a total recovery.

in October I'm going to Washington DC to do the Army 10, a 10-mile run through the streets of Washington DC, and also in November doing the Norweigan foot march, which is an 18.6 mile footmarch with full combat gear and at least a 25 lb rucksack, under 4 and a half hours, so 15 min/mile, i cant wait? you inspire me so much cody, and after watching these videos always make me want to go running

I'm so sorry about your family friend. That's terrible. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Super excited for your 530-miler from LA to San Diego Cody!! Choo Choo!
