It is absolutely wild that you came across my video! I of course remember you guys! There's a brief moment half way through day 2 where I think you are in the video, and your friend Tim I think is in the background on the morning of the briefing. 😂 It made me laugh that you guys thought I was an alien 😆 That isn't the first time I've heard that. My partner always tells me that I'm a robot but he has occasionally said alien as well 😅 But yes I absolutely get tired too hahaha especially on this trek! It was tough!! And thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch my videos. I'm so glad to hear that you enjoy them

¡gracias!😁😊 Los refugios eran tan increíbles. Estoy agradecido de que estuvieran allí. Especialmente en la noche final cuando terminé ese día difícil. 😅😤

Thanks, Bob! It really was just such an incredible trail. So beautiful. Having the difficult sections added to the enjoyment as well because it made the views feel that much more earned 😁

Thank you! 😊 I really enjoyed compiling this video. Ever since I switched my format over to longer videos that show a trail from start to finish I've really enjoyed the end result. It forces me to cut more content that doesn't necessarily drive the story line. Although the one downside is that it takes so so much longer to edit them and I'm still trying to get videos out every other week 😂

Isn't it amazing?! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I also wish I had slightly better weather. I could tell how spectacular some of the views would have been if I could have seen anything. But I am grateful that my weather was good on the most difficult and dangerous day. Overall I loved my experience and am so grateful that it went well. Doing it alone was definitely tough, but my goodness what an incredible experience and wonderful memories 😁 (ps, sorry for the delayed response, I have been away from KZfaq for quite a while after an unexpected a surgery and prolonged recovery time. I'm hoping to start posting again this upcoming month and I'll catch everyone up on where I've been 😊)

The tree colors were incredible! Being there in the middle of the autumn was amazing. Yeah it was definitely a dangerous trek, I wouldn't even call it hiking. Also thank you 😁 it's definitely not easy capturing the moments along the way when the treks are this difficult, so it's always nice to feel the appreciation from my viewers. It helps keep me going 😂 so thank you for taking the time to comment and of course thank you for always watching 😊

Thank you so much! I always love being able to go back and rewatch 😁videos because of the amazing memories they bring up. Small little details I had forgotten about bring so much joy. I'm glad to hear that it did the same for you. Laguna Negra is such an incredible place with inexplicable views and beauty. I imagine swimming there would be a lifelong memory 😁 (ps, sorry for the delayed response, I have been away from KZfaq for quite a while after an unexpected a surgery and prolonged recovery time.

Thank you! I'm really glad to hear that you found my video helpful. I did this hike at the beginning of April, so the beginning of their Autumn. The briefing is definitely beneficial and I'm extremely grateful that they provided that. Make sure you wake up in time for it, it gave me far more confidence going into that day. If you look on AllTrails I followed the 4 Refugios Trek and used the starting point listed there. It is right off of the parking lot for the ski resort. Yes that is what I mean by not being able to complete it. I wish the weather had been better so I could complete it, but hopefully I'll be back some day and I'll be able to complete the trek. As for water, there is water at every campsite and several streams and river crossings that make it possible to use your straw, however there are also stretches of the trail where you won't pass water and you will need to carry water during that time. For example, on day three the lake/refugio is the only water source until you reach the valley again. This means that you need to carry all of your water for the first 3/4 of the day. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions. Enjoy the hike and be safe! It's beautiful.

Thank you @@KathrynJones !!

@@KathrynJones For Kathryn and anyone reading I've done the hike a week ago. It was great, challenging but doable and beautiful. If any questions I'd love to answer.

@ I’m so glad you were able to complete the trek! I hope you had lovely weather and I hope the fall colors had started to change for you. That was one of the most beautiful parts. If you hear of anyone else considering the trail please share my video with them! 🙏

Of course! Thank you for taking the time to watch it. I hope you enjoyed it 😊

Thanks, David! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it 😁 I really liked the views and trekking on day 3. I think that part of the video is my favorite and the most memorable from my time on the trek

This was it 😂 You'll see in the next video just how much of a toll it took 😅

Hi! I completed this trek in early-mid April 2022. And thank you! It was an incredible trek 😁

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes you do still need to book the refugio because they have a limited number of designated camping spaces. But luckily they are significantly cheaper than staying inside the refugio or in some cases free. They still just need to have you book a space even if it’s free though so that they can reserve the space. I remember some of them being tricky to find online, but they are there if you keep digging. I’m sorry I don’t remember all of the websites. If I come across them I’ll reply to this message again and let you know. Good luck! If you have any questions about the trail please feel free to reach out.

Also I should mention that most of them you pay in cash when you arrive even if you book it online a head of time. I don’t think that’s the case for all of them but make sure you’re prepared.

@@KathrynJones Thank you very much!!

Oh I definitely don't eat it every day when I'm off trail 😂 But when I'm on a trek like this I absolutely CRAVE it! The extra fat and protein are exactly when I need midway through the day. And in the morning. And sometimes a spoonful before bed 😂😂
