Acatenango Fuego Volcano Hike 🌋 Everlanders see the World!

I almost didn't make it, it was one of the most challenging hikes I've ever done, but a fabulous reward once you get to the top.
Unfortunately, I got overzealous with the amount of camera equipment I decided to haul up the mountain, along with 6 l of water, We ended up needing to trade the backpack between us to make it to the top.
Then we were so exhausted, And it was so cold at the summit that we decided to tuck in early and didn't really do a good job of filming.

Absolutely tremendous volcano. The night video of the eruptions is superb. Thanks 👍

[@sickjohnson]

So happy to see a new video from you guys, and wow is it a good one too! Keep them coming. Had to pause the vid and get a hot chocolate too...LOL I miss the Kilauea volcano on Big Island Hawaii...I found it so calming going there every night for a month.

[@eprohoda]

thank you! how beautiful shots- see you later~ 😈

We enjoyed going up on Etna in Sicily, saw lava flow under our feet. Very beautiful.

Great job you guys! Looks like an amazing experience and what a show the volcano put on for you!!!

[@craigmckenzie8028]

Wow great video and seeing the volcano erupting WOW. We’re the eruptions very loud? It looked like Lincoln had a great time. He is looking great. Thanks for taking us along on your great adventure.

[@Everlanders]

Yes, it was as loud as thunder, and with the big rocks rolling down the hill it sounded like the grumbling after a lightning strike. The whole experience was a lot like thunder, very loud, but we never caught the actual start of the eruption on camera...

[@dflood316]

Fantastic video! I wish we were there to share it with you.

[@DavidLee-wx6dg]

That is a hell of a hike , plus getting up in the morning for the summit hike. We did it in March, cold and windy, but with a great group and so much fun.

[@Everlanders]

Props to you for that, our groups summit hike was that same afternoon, and we didn't have the fuel to make it...

[@carlosdeleon4215]

Awesome x 1000! Wow!!

[@philjachowski1709]

Thanks for letting me relive this through your eyes. I did this in March of 2020 about a week or two before pandemic shutdowns. It was truly one of the most amazing things I've ever done and yes, an extremely challenging hike up (and down). Good job!

[@Everlanders]

I was at the back of the pack right out of the gate and felt pretty unprepared, but soon the tight bodies at the front began to slow down too, then we all slogged on together... 🌋

[@philjachowski1709]

@@Everlanders We hiked up in clouds and wind pretty much the entire way up. Better than too hot though! For an old fart I held my own pretty well. Did the summit hike the next morning which was really not easy with the steep very loose soil but so worth it! If you get a chance, go stay at Pasajcap. Very Beautiful (but pretty much everything is around there) and very nice grounds (if you do, say hi to Pierre for me (Felipe)). That's where I was lucky enough to get stranded for about 6 weeks when COVID lockdown hit. ENJOY!

[@philjachowski1709]

@@Everlanders Well, you know it even better than I then! It's a magical place for sure. I will need to go back some day when I'm free to explore the area. We were very constrained to the compound when I was there.

[@CITAP1]

Really cool you guys got up there. Seen others do it and the weather was not with them. I don't know I could do that climb anymore but there was a time. Going up was tough but going down can really hammer your knees and ankles. Fun video, thanks for sharing the experience.

[@Everlanders]

Yup, knees and purple toes... 🍆🍆

[@lathiunrock4702]

Hey muy lindo el truck bienvenidos a Guatemala, los acabo de ver sobre una de nuestras calles principales la CA-9 ... Buen viaje

[@Everlanders]

Muchas gracias, es la segunda vez que está aquí, y esta vez me gusta más.

[@mischlingandhunk]

A year ago i tried to convince you guys to gu up there. So glad that you actually went back to do this strenous hike and endure the freezing night. Who managed to concince you at the end? How are your knees?

[@Everlanders]

Time changed our mind I guess... But we had a beautiful time, and the night wasn't so cold, and we had very good shelters.

[@davidc1961utube]

At 00:22, everyone has their (half) cross to bear... The evening shots remind me of Canada Day around the 11:00 finale. Nice! Did they come with audible booms?

[@Everlanders]

Yes! As loud as a nearby lightning strike and Thunder... The sound was delayed 9 seconds so if you weren't watching you'd miss it.

[@Beardinc]

WOW, that is such an amazing thing to witness! For sure adding that to my bucket list! qucik question: Total overall length of your truck?

[@Everlanders]

7.63 Meters...

[@PatrickKQ4HBD]

So amazing! How are those legs feeling today?

[@Everlanders]

After day 4 we were back to normal...

[@Colorado4x4Van]

How long was it in total? Wendy and I did Gourd Lake 12 years ago...6 miles up and the last 1.5 is switch-backs STRAIGHT up...a psychological challenge as well as a physical one as you feel like it's going on FOREVER! Very cool and beautiful! Good job guys! Not sure I'd get that close (headlamp guys)...I think it was Pliny the Elder who died when gases rolled down a Volcano he was studying/climbing. :) Great vid!

[@Everlanders]

5.5 hours for about 7 km

[@PatrickKQ4HBD]

Phew! In a toga and sandals too!

[@davidnola5628]

Thank you for all the great videos!I plan on driving the full length of the Pan-American Highway in a Tesla Cybertruck with a 25 foot Airstream tow. I will start from Deadhorse, Prudhoe Bay, Alaska and finish in Ushuaia, Argentina. So I was wondering on your trip do you use any type of emergency backup communication such as HAM, CB, GMRS? Trying to figure out which service will work best for US, Canada, Mexico, South America.

[@Everlanders]

There's better cell coverage than in the US, we don't use or know anyone using HAM.

[@Everlanders]

That being said, most people don't make it much further than Chiapas with a travel trailer. The roads get pretty narrow and sharp corners in towns. Further, I realize you won't be getting this truck for a while, but still I should mention that the grid gets pretty weak down here, the voltage drops to the mid nineties under load and costs the owner 40 to 50 cents per kWh, so finding an outlet that I can get 600 watts from is a challenge. Further charging our comparatively small 11.5kWH battery could take days because of rolling outages...

[@davidnola5628]

@@Everlanders Yes, I’m about two or three years away but I am starting my research. Thanks for your advice and keep up the videos I am living vicariously through you until I can do my trip .

[@tra757200]

Did you get the sound recorded from the eruption or could you hear if from there? How long did the sound take to get to you? Fabulous video!

[@Everlanders]

The eruptions were spaced about 30 minutes apart most times, and we often missed recording the beginning when the sound was loudest. We could certainly hear it and feel it, very much like thunder. The basecamp was 3000m away (As the crow flies) from where we were, so science says it would have been a 9.09 second delay.

[@NateVolk]

Just learned about the changes to Blynk 2.0... What's your plan to handle that change? Are you going to keep running your own server? Thanks!

[@Everlanders]

Their cloud server is of little use to us anyway, so we will continue to run our own local server.
