I did the same mistake when doing the alta via 1 , with 24 kg of backpack now i am going to do the tour of mon blanc with a "featherweight" backpack compared to the other one with just shy of 13 kg...I've learned so much and still there is to learn...

@davidwright7193 Жыл бұрын

You are still carrying too much cr@p. 13kg is a lot if you are going refuge to refuge. I would shoot for no more than 8kg without water and food. In the alps you shouldn’t need to carry more than 2 days lunches at anytime. Take a rest day halfway around after that you will be able to add another 10km per day without noticing it much. Acclimatisation is a wonderful thing.

@@LetsMeetAbroad Ha-ha, yes, trust me, I know... Backpack, shoes, merino wool everything (underwear, socks, top, bottoms), sleeping bag liner (want light - buy silk one, it's more expensive than cotton), hydration bladder (if you use it), the list goes on. Same for the tent and sleeping bag. They can be very light but will cost like a jet. I have the same panama hat (Columbia, right?) you're wearing, so I know how much that one costs too :) And then accommodation and food of course (don't want to carry food = extra weight, prepare to pay for cooked meals). It might not seem much per expense, but when you add it all up together... But you're absolutely right, it lasts years (of very extensive use).

@@LetsMeetAbroad This year I, unfortunately, channelled last year you and had to leave the trail sooner than I planned :( (was doing part of Via Alpina red route in Slovenia) due to problems with shoes. Fit and comfort were ok, but they were just not performing in hot weather (despite merino wool socks and regular stops for airing out). I got so many blisters that Compeed should give me a loyalty card or something. At least Salomon accepted my warranty claim (I'd like to see them trying to reject it after I threatened to send them pictures of all of my blisters ))) ) and gave me voucher to try out another model. I remember sitting in the room of the posh hotel in Ljubljana (nothing else was available in the entire Slovenia by then) and thinking that when you post a video titled 'my hiking trip to XXX' and then video starts with a person talking from a hotel room (sound familiar? :) ) you can immediately tell that that hiking trip did not exactly go to plan...

Hi! Loooove watching your channel! Hoping to do this hike next summer - is it often full booked at the refuges when you arrive? And is it possible to camp near the refuges?

@LetsMeetAbroad Жыл бұрын

It refugios are most probably booked during peak seasons. Yes, sometime you have the camping spots available but it is really risky to go without booking a refuge or camping spot.

@technicpiggames1432 Жыл бұрын

Nice storytelling, video, photography & bridge to your parallel content channels. As "the Dutch" have a habit of trying to pronounce foreign language names in the way of the foreign language it seems "we" still have a challenge here ;) . Oh, question. In the end, at the mountain lake, there was a hiker walking through the frame in the left 1/5th or so. With your video editing software, would it be possible to freeze frame that 1/5th and let the other 4/5th continue as video? That would have taken the hiker out and as nothing happened in the 1/5th, the viewer would not have noticed.

@@LetsMeetAbroad Dank. Ik kijk er heel erg naar uit. Toen ik 15 was heeft mijn vader me meegenomen naar Zwitserland. Het was mijn eerste keer dat ik de Alpen zag en het heeft diepe indruk gemaakt. Omdat we er zulke goede herinneringen aan hadden gaan we dit jaar een keer terug naar de Alpen. De keuze is gevallen op Chamonix omdat Zwitserland heel duur is met hun munt. Alleen het zien van de KZfaq filmpjes maakt me al enthousiast. Ik ben inmiddels 40+ en mijn vader 70+. Ik ben later nog wel eens in Oostenrijk geweest maar daar waren de bergen niet zo hoog en rauw als in Zwitserland. Maar in Chamonix verwacht ik alles te vinden wat ik zoek. Jullie hebben een mooie videoserie gemaakt, het is een plezier om te kijken. Ook de tips voor wat wel en niet mee te nemen in de rugzak.
