What an extraordinarily revolutionary idea: take us all along on your 3100 mile journey in four magical minutes, all punctuated by a beautifully composed song. On behalf of all us dreamers stuck here in the real world, I want to express my deepest appreciation to you three guys. Maybe because of you, some of us will choose not to stay stuck here forever. Peace...

I hiked this in 4 minutes also.

For those who have not hiked the trail this is a great summary. For me, 70% complete so far, it brings back so many memories and fears and thoughts of the unknown I had starting out. I had no idea what NM's bootheel would be like, hot AF, the wonders of hiking the Gila River, the people I'd meet on trail in towns, in hostels (The late Nita of the Toaster House particularly). Its magic, its hard, its beautiful, it'll break your heart, it'll scare you and inspire you in the same San Juan mile. I loved it, hated it, cursed it, swore I'd never do it again and can't wait to get back out there again. Its one of the hardest things I've done and one of the best. Whether you try and fail (many do), try and end up sectioning, or end up thruing it in a year (congrats!), you will never forget it and it will change who you are. Take that hardest first step and find yourself, find yourself standing on a border thinking well now what, and put one foot in front of another starting an unfathomable adventure.

One of my favorite hiking videos and songs.

Our country is gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing this.

Breathtaking. But what we didn't see was how formidable this trail can be. Would love to experience this one day.

Amazing. It's so important to stop and capture a moment that moves you.

Great job on this video. Really enjoyed it. Started CDT in 2017, this is the kind of inspiration needed to get back and finish.

That’s crazy how the song seems to have been written to match perfectly your video. Good job and thanks for making all the community dream. One of these days I wish I can hike it with my 2 sons and wife !! How cool it would be !

I attempted the John Muir Trail (solo) and failed. I have nothing but respect for people who actually complete these treks. Its so much easier to dream than it is to actually do something.

That was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing this

Love this video. Great song as well.

Beautiful! Thank you for the video.

This was awesome thanks for sharing!

Great intro video! Thanks!

Awesome!!!! I enjoyed this video very very much. Thank you!

Dude this is my favorite video ever

^5 THANKS for doing this and posting it! As an elderly now...I "was" with ya "all the way!" Thanks...it was GREAT!

Awesome video! thanks for doing it!

Perfect sync with the song. Nice job.

Beautiful! Good job!

I love this as a great way of sharing a 3000 mile story.

Good song, great trip.

This is amazing

That's amazing thanks for sharing

I put this hike on my bucket list after watching this, great video man 😊

Congratulations!!

Wow that was absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing. I can see why now everyone makes it to the ens, it looks daunting as hell, but somehow so attractive.....

That's an amazing accomplishment!

This was a great video! Thanks for sharing! Subscribed.

Fantastic!!!

I've been waiting for more videos like this since I saw the PCT one. Thank you!

Nice vid. Looking forward to hiking this trail in 2022 or 2023 (depends on Covid allowing access to the US). Through-hiked Te Araroa in 2015-16 and it was the best thing I ever did in my life.

wow.... thanks for sharing!

Dangit man, I only just hiked the PCT and now you're giving me all these feelings. Thruhiking has ruined me.

Beautiful

Amazing video

Really cool, took a lot of vision to prep for this, but it gives a great sense of the changes in ecosystem. Like it a lot! New sub!

So intersting. What an adventure.

Very cool!!!

flippin epic video!

Nice job...very inspiring!

love this video! and good song choice :)

My nephew on it now left in may seen so many stunning pictures

so cool, well done!!

It’s refreshing to see through hikers get to the Canadian border not in snow! I hope there’s no snow for me & my comrades this year! 😬

some truly gorge shots of the route/trail !! :) i love hope get to do some fave sects b4 getting 2 old to go anymore. ur vid is inpirational !!!!

I just finished the PCT a few days ago and now I am here...

Inspiring video and awesome music :)

This doesn’t deserve 40 dislikes. Incredibly well done!

What a calming video, so beautiful! Hope the journey went well!

This makes me want to do this trip so badly!

Beautifully done. Hope you enjoyed the trip and especially Wyoming. :).

... sigh ... I would have to stumble across this. Nostalgia hitting hard. (Quicksilver)

Snow Lake at 54s! Beautiful

America is so !!!!!!! beautiful!

That's amazing

That wild to see a person walk so many miles got to give you people a ton of bad ass credit I couldn’t do it .

Worth it for the few seconds of the Winds.

Brillant!

Awsome ! And on top the video is better than the PCT, especially the colors. A real pleasure to watch, thanks for sharing.

So many rocks to climb along the way

Impressive!

This is super esoteric but the beginning of the video drove me nuts when the cuts first started happening. Until about the ~45s mark the cuts happen just a bit too early for the beat. Then it eventually really locks in and feels solid for the rest of the video.

Nice video.

Must have been one hell of a trip goddamn

Came across your blog the other day, i was looking up about bears on the PCT, haha. I want to hike the triple crown, i'm from Australia and have quite a fear of being ripped to shreds by a bear. However, i cannot let this stop my dreams right? 😂 Lovely video

I thoroughly enjoyed the virtual trek. I wonder,, would it be possible to include a small map in the corner of the video showing where you are at any given moment? I have only been on parts of the trail, so it would be very meaningful for me to see where you at any given moment point in time.

Now make Timelapse of whole trail.

this is oddly inspiring

This is actually one of my dream to hike the CDT. Thank you for the video. Btw how much did you spend for the whole journey? Thanks

This should be the music video for the song

Its sticks on my retina; I can convince myself I did it for real!

Absolutely beautiful. How hard was this trail and how long did it take you to complete? I'd love to start hiking so I might take this up. Did you see anyone else along the trail or was it just you and your group?

Wow you're so awesome! It's really beautiful

How long did this take you/ how did you get back home/ did you almost die/ how many miles a day did you do/ was the happy greenery easily accessible and if not did you bring any?

Awsome video, awsome music. Good luck out there with the nights! Keep in mind it's just a paper tiger!

Since the new GoPros have much better stabilization, could you do it again? ;-) Great video!

EPIC again ! Stop it ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Hiking has open a beau 🌏 ! No > will I waste time in my human weaknesses of hard feelings/ego/bad energy ! ☺️☺️☝️💪🏄💥

Did you really have such perfect weather, or did you just pick the best bits? Amazing.

I honestly thought you were walking around Colorado until I saw the Geyser.

Wanderlust...engage! Would be cool if you had put up some text as you entered each state.

well done! How long have you been running and with which camera have you been working? Greetings from Germany!

💖💖💖

Merry Christmas! I hope you are enjoying your time in NZ, I highly recommend you visit Nelson Lakes if you have time.

Nicely done "short" video of what a hiker will see along his/ her way. Would have been nice to put in subtitle info on what part of trail each segment was shot...other than that, truly a beautiful thru hike!!

Amazing!! So many questions spring into my head though! How do you stay on track? How long did it take? Do you literally walk all day or do you camp out longer somewhere you enjoyed? What do you do for food? How expensive was it? This is something I genuinely want to do!

What date did you start? I’m doing the CDT next year, NOBO as well.

how did you get provisions on a daily basis? were there resupply stations along the trail, or did you hunt and fish?

well done! Looks like you guys had barely bad weather?!

How long did this take and what was your budget?

What did you do for food?

how much money do i have to save to do the cdt?

wow.

And is it easy to get lost, also did you hitch hike at any point? I'm assuming that's pretty much a gamble considering the crazies out there

I know you used a Sony a6500, but did you stick to one or two lenses? If so, which lenses?

Ended at the best spot? No Canada video?

if only I had the money.... god this looks fun

What shoes do you guys use for your adventures??
