Hey! I really enjoyed your video, great job!! I'm walking the trail now in July, and I'm curious about how you managed with the accommodation and what your experiences with this were? I have booked tent spots for the first six nights, as I have been told that this is nowadays required. I think this was also the case in 2023? Did you book tent spots in advance or did you pay when arriving? Or if you did it in some other way?
@butwhatsoutthere10 күн бұрын
Thank you! Maybe you’re already on the trail and have figured everything out by now. I didn’t know about the booking until I arrived at the first refuge 😅 so I had to book the other places while on trail. Alternatively you can pay double the price when you didn’t book beforehand. Or camp wild which I did sometimes, but during high season it’s more likely that you’ll be fined by the rangers

Great video. Looks like you had great weather the whole time. What was the dates you hiked? Also how did you keep your phone charged to take all the videos? I am planning this trek in June 2025.
@butwhatsoutthereАй бұрын
Hey, I started the trail on the 29th of August and finished 15 days later in September. I was quite lucky with the weather, the sun was shining every day. But precisely on the days before I started the trail and after I finished it, there were massive thunderstorms with lots of rain. The sunny weather also helped me keep my electronics charged, because during the whole trip I charged all my devices with a portable solar panel from Anker. Worked really well. At the refuges there are also some electricity outlets, but often there’s not enough of them for all the hikers. Cool that you’re also planning on doing the trek! I think the weather in June should be great. Good luck with that!

did you have a water filter? any trouble with finding water?
@butwhatsoutthereАй бұрын
Yes I did bring my Katadyn befree filter which I used every now and then to filter river water in the valleys. But I wouldn’t say that it’s necessary to bring one. On most days you pass several clean water sources on the GR20, and of course the Refuges have clean water. But you always have to check the map for water sources before you start hiking. Often you have to hike for many hours without water sources, so it’s always smart to fill up at least 2L when you pass a source

Heya, This was super nice. I love fact you hitchhiked. I always wonder why such good content creators have so little subs. I appreciate hard work with filming going back for camera and story telling. Hoping do this trail maybe in october. Can I ask editing question, how you make those little maps on side with tracking. Is it through map app or you make it from scratch? I always want to do one but my app on map doesnt allow me do animation like this. Thank you. New subs. All best Lucy
@butwhatsoutthereАй бұрын
Hey Lucy, thanks for the kind comment and feedback! I’m happy you enjoyed the video and the editing. I actually made the maps from scratch, using a simple painting tool in a photo editing software. I used a GR20 map from the internet as a template in a layer which I later removed. For each day on the trail, I painted the distance that I hiked on that day in the map. In the end I exported the map as a PNG file, so that you can still see the video through the map. I have never properly learned how to do this kind of stuff, so there’s probably better ways to do it, but I was happy with the result :) I hope you can make it to Corsica this year for the GR20! It can look quite different there in October compared to when I did the trail in early September. You could check out the KZfaq video from my friend Phil Hamann (it’s also his name on KZfaq) who did the GR20 in the middle of last October.

Well, in moments like that, when we get invited and meet people, I like to interact and talk with them, and not always want to put my camera in their face and film the moment! Maybe I’ll have to do it sometime, it’s probably better content, but I don’t always feel comfortable with that. If you really want to see them, you’ll have to go visit yourself ;)

@butwhatsoutthere2 ай бұрын
I don’t really understand, why you are commenting. First of all, I love to talk to local people and also learned Russian to be able to communicate with lots of people in this region. I don’t think that always photographing people makes an adventure „the real thing“. Plenty of travelers (if not most) do not make KZfaq videos or take pictures for Instagram, but that doesn’t mean that their adventure isn’t „the real thing“? Having a camera often changes interactions in my experience, so I choose when I want to film and when I want to just be in the moment. I love filming nature, action and adventures, I’m just a bit shy when it comes to filming strangers because I don’t want to cause them discomfort. There’s lots of beautiful memories with my Italian friends and with Georgians we met along the way, that aren’t on camera :) So I think it’s not so nice of you to tell me something about „the real thing…“ - my adventure felt pretty real!

@@butwhatsoutthere why do I comment, I stumbled over this video and saw most of the time the face of a young man, sometimes a landscape or Georgia. showing less of the young mans face and more of Georgia would tell us more about that beautiful country. I have been three times in Georgia with the bike. Georgia is much more than a young mans face. now, you could think about it a moment, do you want to show Georgia or yourself. also you can delete my comments. and be happy with all the ""fantastic again"" comments.

Thank you! You don’t necessarily have to bring a gas can, or just a small one to be safe. All the refuges have gas stoves where you can cook, and next to these stoves a lot of people leave their own gas cans for others to take. So I was able to cook my own food every night without having to bring my own gas. Wish you all the best for your hike!

What did you do for food? Was it just the refuges where you could buy it or was there farmers stalls along the way too?
@butwhatsoutthere3 ай бұрын
You can buy food items and dinner at the refuges, but I avoided doing this as it is extremely expensive. So I carried almost all my food for the first section. In Castel de Vergio is a small store where I stocked up a bit. In Vizzavona, which is roughly the halfway point of the hike, I took a train to Corte where I went to a big supermarket and bought all the food that I needed for the second half of the trail. You can also shop food in Vizzavona itself at a campground, but again, quite expensive. here and there I bought some snacks or drinks at the refuges. Sometimes there are Bergeries (mountain farm huts) along the way, but very few actually have food. I usually ate oatmeal for breakfast, dried bread with peanut butter or soups for lunch and for dinner I usually had couscous with lentils. Hope this helps :)

Cool hike. Crosses the continental divide and has excellent public transport at both ends. Btw in the 80's or 90's they wanted to construct a huge dam at the entrance of this valley and flood large parts of it. After furious resistance by environmentalists, hikers, outdoor lovers, hunters and the local population the plans were scrapped.
