How much did this great trip cost you ?
@grtshw 2 ай бұрын
more than I can rationally justify but also probably less than you would guess. maybe I'll make a video on the costs some day; intra-European flights are really affordable so honestly most (~50%) of the cost was just getting there and back from the US.

First of all congrats. Clearly took a lot of planning that could have been ruined by one flight delay. Curious if you considered more driving vs flying. Maybe harder since it was just you due to sleep deprivation? But curious if you explored a faster route that would only be possible with more than 1 person so you could take turns sleeping in the car
@grtshw 3 ай бұрын
Thanks! To answer your question: I think this was pretty close to the optimal mix of flying and driving, and the only way I would really improve the route in a perfect world would be to make the connections tighter. I really think you're heavily constrained by the countries that are large and far from one another. Cyprus, Malta, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, and even Scandinavia and the Balkans are just too large and remote to realistically drive through. The only place driving makes much sense is in central-eastern Europe and Benelux because (a) those regions' airports are smaller and have fewer flights and (b) because their borders are so tightly crammed together that you can pick them up in quick succession. Totally agree with your thought process and think there's a lot of efficiency to gain by finding a balance between driving and flying, but luckily I think the EU is quite nicely positioned right at the edge of what is possible for an unassisted, sleepless run.

congrats on the record, and the video. I found myself entertained throughout the two hours, would love to see extra content about this trip too. Also I would watch a video about any adventure like this even if it failed, so don't feel the need to refrain from posting an incomplete video.

Germany's sign said "Bundesrepublik Deutschland", or "Federal Republic of Germany". The "Rhineland" sign you saw was probably for Rheinland-Pfalz (occasionally anglicized as Rhineland-Palatinate), one of Germany's 16 federal states (Bundeslander in German).

Do you think you might try to do this with all 50 states someday? Or do the highpoints take priority?
@grtshw 3 ай бұрын
Never know! That's been done on youtube before but still inclined to try and beat it if I can ever get the time and resources (and assistance - way harder to stay up for 6 days than it is to stay up for 3 days so will need another crazy person to do it with me). Highpoints are definitely a main priority but more challenging to fit in lately since they are summer-only due to weather.

I am planning to do this one either in June or July of this year (2024). In June of 2021 in one day I hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon all the way to the Phantom Ranch and back up to the south rim where I started. About 20 miles round trip. The thing that scares me about this hike is the altitude. I usually start getting a headache at 10,000 feet above sea level if I am exerting myself.

I went there as well. The one thing I thought should have been different would be to have the rock right behind the high point and on the spot of the high point to have a survey marker.

We need more high point videos they are the best. It’s interesting to learn about and see the views of the hike. It’s also amazing that this is a father and son bonding experience. It’s awesome that you and your dad share a common love for the same thing.

The air is thin enough at the top of Mauna Kea to make even a short walk difficult. Furthermore the lack of oxygen makes your brain less functional and you get confused and lose your train of thought easily.

It's great that you made the highpoint but unless you hike/climb a good portion of the way it doesn't really count in my book. You look in pretty good shape and you have youth on your side; start climbing. You will need the experience for Whitney, Gannett, and Rainier.
@moosefactory133 Жыл бұрын
Even though I hiked down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon to the Colorado River and back up with roughly the same amount of elevation gain of 4000 feet that you experienced (a 1000 feet less than to the north rim), your hike looked much harder because of the boulder field. I would be to afraid to try this hike.

I can’t believe I missed this video drop. 😮 I was so excited to watch this one! Congrats on getting the Eastern half of the states done! 🎉 Notes on this video: I wish you would’ve said something (while showing the town or afterwards on the couch) about needing a pass to get into the park (similar to how you warned others about Illinois being off limits most of the year). (Some people look at your videos to get helpful hints on how to do these hikes.) The racking focus shots around the three minute mark are awesome! Also, I enjoyed the moving video of trees passing by, then cutting to video of you hiking. Nice sequencing! At 4:18, were you playing “hide and seek” with your dad behind that rock? 😉 At 7:30, the shots of your feet stepping on the boulders really puts into perspective what the final part of this hike is like. “Careful where you step” hiking. Great POV shot! Nice job! -------- You are right, hiking down was tougher due to risk of falling downhill (which I did once…scary!) and more fatigue (for most people). I’m excited to see your hikes out West (the ones I have done and more so the ones I have not). Hint: get the chest strap GoPro back out (like in your older videos) because you’ll probably be using your hiking poles. And make sure you have enough battery for Whitney and King’s Peak! 😉 Cheers! -David

Thanks for your thoughtful comment, David! Always nice to see your input on these videos - you have been around for the long haul. I appreciate all the tips and I especially think the note about needing a parking permit is a good point. I definitely should have thought of that because it's not really complete as a "guide" without it. In some ways, that's the most difficult logistical challenge, at least considering the amount of cars that were turned away that morning because they didn't know about that requirement. I will definitely be sure to include some of that logistical information going forward. In any event, I'm also very excited for the western states. It should be a great time! Hopefully this coming summer is a chance to make some good progress out west. Thanks again for the comment and hope all is well
