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.

I LOVE these films!! As a 17 year old who can’t go out and do this stuff quite yet, I literally live vicariously through these.

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!

If you ever find yourself on a long walk far from home,make your life happen. Be brave, challenge yourself. Leave your comfort zone. Go see the grand distant places. Let the process run its course. Above all, enjoy the little moments, along the way.

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.

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.

About a month before embarking on my own PCT journey in 22’ I watched every trail doc on KZfaq in hopes of learning more and getting stoked, your documentary was at the top of my list. I’m about a month out from starting the CDT and told myself I don’t want to watch any videos before hand this time, but out of curiosity I made the search and without realizing it was your video, I felt compelled to watch. Once again moved and couldn’t be more excited for another trek. Well done pal -Trench
