One step at a time, thats what they say. But it's really not that simple. That would be leaving out all the highs and lows, the joy and laughter, all the struggle and hardships that make you a stronger person. There's more to it than mere effort and the steps you take along the way.
See all the aspects of hiking the Continental Divide Trail, from New Mexico's barren deserts, Colorado's high peaks, Wyoming's diverse landscapes, and Montana's rugged forests. Enjoy all the unique moments of friendship, determination, and sore feet during my 2023 thru-hike of the CDT.
Hope you enjoy and happy trails!

One of the best documentations of the CDT I’ve seen. Awesome videography, a great telling of the story, and enough humor and insight to keep it rolling along.

"Make your life happen, be brave, challenge yourself, leave your comfort zone, go and see the grandest of places. Let the process run it's course and above all, enjoy the little moments along the way". Brilliant storytelling and videography on both your PCT and CDT films.

Austin/Poseidon, great work on the sophomore trail-film documentary. Solid production work, music and narration. Your PCT video was top 5 in the genre and kudos for crushing another thru-hike. Thanks for taking us on another journey. So far you're the only person I've seen to make two award-worthy triple crown trail thru-hike docs! Congrats on the amazing accomplishment!

Wow you truly have an incredible talent to capture and narrate all that a thru hike is, the amazing views, the challenges of hiking day after day, the good times and the bad. I only wish I had your ability to capture my thru hikes if only to share with my hiking friends and my family. A huge thank you for all the effort that you put in to filming and editing to share with us.

I've watched a lot of thru hikes from people with different backgrounds. I'd call this one "Frat boys tackle the CDT. Cinematography is top notch. Story telling is excellent. From all other CDT thru hike vids you could feel the solitude. Not so much with your video. Seems more about the "frat boys" enjoying a journey... well done!

I'm hoping you'll do the AT. Appalachia are among the oldest mountain formations on earth. Not to mention the PCT and CDT are very similar though very different from each other. I think nothing compares to the culture of Appalachia. Happy trails my friend. Maybe I'll see you out there some day. I'll say, a lot of these films inspire me to start my own adventure.

@austinseder 2 ай бұрын

Biggie and Shepard’s path and timing varied compared to the rest of us but we still were close by each other most of the way. We finished a day apart and met up again in Canada. And there were only a few minor bear encounters surprisingly and I didn’t get any on camera.
