We Walked Alone for 6 Days in the Canadian Wilderness - Hiking the North Coast Trail

The North Coast Trail may be one of the most difficult hikes in Canada. Covered in water-soaked bogs, it's only relief is the many beaches sprinkled along it. Over the course of 6 days, we walk this most epic of hikes.

Hey Eric, I usually don't comment but I had to on this one. Thank you so much for this video! The storytelling is incredible, it feels like coming along for the hike. The views are great and it really shows the natural beauty and atmosphere of this remote place on Vancouver Island. Absolutely fantastic!!!

I can remember sitting-in a bucket, crossing a shallow wide river, in Canada's Alberta region. 200 feet above the river. The bottom of the bucket was rotted-through. And the steel-cable line had not been replaced in decades. It was the scariest 300 foot crossing in my three decades of hiking. Beautiful video!

Would definitely not mind seeing more content like this from you two.

A cool fact about wolves.. Some hunters when setting up camp will use a wolf call to bring wolves into the area. Wolves are far less likely to harm a human than most other animals, and their presence scares of other animals. Ive used a wolf call once, and about 45 minutes later a very large black wolf came out of the woods into the valley. It circled us, stopping and sitting every 10-50 meters.

The car tires are probably from being used as bumpers on the sides of boats so that the hull doesn't get damaged when they dock or tie up to another boat. It is cheap and easy to use compared to the bumpers sold specifically for that reason.
