Longest Unsupported Polar Arctic Journey in History: story of world-record 'Long Haul' expedition 4K

[@vikinghamer]

Huge respect Alex, a phenomenal achievement. The physical and mental challenge of such a journey must change a person, knowing that you can meet adversity and triumph. Thank you for sharing this with a great short film. Definitely going to buy the book!

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

On the way soon!

[@bigiron4018]

I don’t find the tv clips to be embarrassing whatsoever. I am sure it is just you. Great video! Throughly enjoyed.

[@voyager.4x4]

14k views? KZbin is absolutely savage and has no idea how to promote worthwhile content. Congrats on an amazing journey. Looking forward to more of your content.

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

I've long since resigned myself to the videos taking most effort giving fewest views... Meanwhile, a 3min Alan video I throw together in a day gets a million views.

[@voyager.4x4]

@@AlexHibbertOriginals maybe my channel needs more hastily-assembled content.

[@CuriosBits]

And that, ladies and gents, is greatness personified.

[@stevelonsdale6720]

Fantastic achievement for anyone let alone a 21yr old!…What an amazing young Man, his Parents must be so proud.

[@MeOutside]

Awesome achievement Alex. At 21 you’ve done more than most people in their 60’s. Looking forward to more Allan videos.

[@jamesdond614]

Maybe some people don't wish to walking around freezing cold tempretures pulling insane amount of weight, and not getting laid.

[@ajsaracina8380]

Lovely little documentary of one of your past expeditions

[@smokingbatterieschannel6060]

Memories of a great expedition. A big achievement for a 21 year old and your name is in yhe record books. Well done mate. Steve.

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

Cheers Steve

[@Pathfinderxr]

I know for sure I saw this on the news. Incredible. I knew I recognised your face. Respect to your team mate too. Can't believe I can say I've conversed with Alex about such a wild thing. Me buying a lifeboat.

Having read the book, this additional footage is a treat

[@markmars1587]

Inspirational beyond measure.

12:59 😂 Man! These elements are really pissed about your presence😂

RESPECT TO YOU 2

[@gafrers]

Fantastic and Fascinating

[@anastasiazuk2636]

Your lecturer at my school amazing thank you so much ❤

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

Ah, thank you.

[@McTroyd]

Your diabolical plan has worked. I'll have to buy your book now. That was amazing. Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@EcoEarthNut]

You are such a great story-teller and what a crazy adventure! I've lived and worked in remote places, including Antarctica but with all the comforts of home. The daily conditions you endured are insane. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Book ordered...

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

Cheers!

[@PatsTravels]

Simply amazing. Thanks for retelling your story about this expedition

[@windriver2363]

Hey, I've got those same ski poles. They are absolutely bomber.

[@bekanav]

Almost everything is wrong in those ski poles.... Grip, telescopic mechanism, baskets, points. I have skied for over 44 years and done many skiing hikes below and above arctic circle. I'd never use those kind of things.

[@HDSME]

SIR Alex indeed you are up there with Shackalton And Franklin I am sure you will far surpass them all ! Thank you for sharing your adventures books I have ordered

[@ptonpc]

Fascinating video.

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

Cheers

[@emilemilemilemill]

This is great content. Thanks for sharing!

[@SailingYachtZora]

Picked up the kindle version. Have 5000 miles of ocean to cover by December and I'm a slow reader 😂 Savage achievement for anyone, let alone at 21 to plan a trip like that. Can't wait to see Alan in the ice

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

Ah that'll be the original edition on Kindle I think. You can enjoy the journey along with the typos! Cheers.

[@BenMilford]

What an incredible journey.

[@Hissmannen]

Great accomplishment! Outstanding work !

[@TheUffeess]

Of course you know you're crazy, and I love it!👍❤

[@skernian15]

Great stuff Alex!

[@nok400]

Awesome!

LEGEND !!!

[@myoldaccount2560]

Take off to the great white north! You two were a regular Bob and Doug McKenzie eh?

When I was a kid growing up in Poland Marek Kaminski was the the "local" hero

[@anonamos6086]

I didn’t realize were the same age. I now feel very unaccomplished.

[@HDSME]

SIR ALEX FOR SURE!

[@jabjab1010]

Wondering if a “sail” of some sort if wind was from behind would have been/could have been helpful?

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

It was fully unsupported as a chosen 'style', so no wind power.

[@eprohoda]

sper~ really awesome -goodbye!.Alex~ 👏

[@Garryck-1]

That was inspiring.. were I not in my early 60s, I'd love to attempt such an endeavour. Not to worry, though. My current plans involve building an ocean-going yacht and seeing the remote places of the world in (relative) comfort, Patagonia, Greenland, Iceland, the Far North and the East-West Passage... who knows, maybe even Antarctica? I'll definitely be ordering a copy of your book. P.S. Best promotional video I've seen in a long time.. kudos!

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

Cheers! Best of luck with the boat and travels.

[@differentangle2499]

Chapou lads!

[@mikebeatstsb7030]

Fantastic... Finally... ☑️ 👏, An Episode of Brian's Revival That's successfully broken its way through the apparent 10:00 Minute video max length cut off! And the crowd went wild with joy and happiness! Hugs and kisses and well wishes from all kinds of folks reverberated from the centre of the gathering

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

6 of 8 most recent videos have been >10mins!

[@SD-unlimited]

Very well done! What was on your MP3 players playlist that you listened to while trekking along? Do you still listen to that music (assuming it was music?) today? Does any song bring back specific vivid memories of this adventure?

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

A mix of music and audiobooks - exact playlist for me to know! These days I prefer audiobooks or podcasts as they immerse the brain more.

[@teeanahera8949]

A very special journey for you and for the youtube watchers. Your snow shovel is the same as mine, the colour of yours is not too easy to make out in the vid but I always wondered why my grey one was chosen to be a suitable colour for situations with whiteouts and being covered in snow if it was left outside the tent. However being in the high country in Australia a whiteout usually only lasted a full hour or two. 😝 You are now written into the history books. Quite an endurance feat. Are we going to hear about the Royal Marines?

[@kmparrott83]

I know the feeling my ex's mother fell at a bbq once and I had to carry her to the sofa 12 feet away. you did over a thousand miles with 3 times your weight, I did 12 feet with a flesh school bus. I hear you brother! Oh I'm the guy that made you look up Mr. Beast lol

[@ElliotSilfwerbrand]

The book was a great read, but as a swede I was sligtly offended when you credited Finland for discovering the north east passage.

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

It's been a while since I wrote it. The northeast? You mean the northern sea route via Russia? Or northwest ?

[@ElliotSilfwerbrand]

@@AlexHibbertOriginals Yes over Siberia. Nordenskiöld was however born in Finland before he was exiled to Sweden so I see the confusion.

[@stucooper8159]

21 😁 I got my arse tattooed whilst serving in the RN in Gibraltar , fair play to you 👍🏻

[@brucechapman1946]

Excellent. What a journey, a friend of mine lived in Alaska and he can to Australia to live, he said minus 60f wasn't unusual but the moisture here with the cold was actually worse, is it "dry cold" or "damp cold" that bites the most?

[@teeanahera8949]

Mate, once the temp drops below 0º c humidity is not noticeable. Colder air holds little moisture compared with warmer air. That’s why it rains when moist warm air rises and cools at higher altitudes, the cold air can’t hold onto the water vapour so it condenses and forms droplets which fall as rain. So all really cold air is dry.

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

Dry cold is certainly more comfortable as heat is conducted to the air more slowly. As mentioned, it's hard for cold air to also be damp. Alaska can get cold, certainly, but -60F is pretty exceptional. Last winter on the North Slope it was -45 to -50F for a time, and the workers there considered it far from usual. Equipment and facilities were breaking and failing. Stories of temps are often exaggerated for obvious reasons, or windchill temperatures swapped in for the same reasons.

[@john26razor340]

Damn… how did you do this at 21? That’s insane. Jealous!

[@africanelectron751]

Absolutely mad lad... You ever been on Joe Rogan?... You should this makes his stuff look mild.

[@kameljoe21]

Damn your ski broke. Imagine if you could not have fixed it. At 21 this would have been super cool!

[@MeBeTheDB]

THESE GUYS ARE MY NEW PERSONAL HEROES ... as they made the longest unsupported Arctic journey EVER. So when you think life is tough -- look at their challenges. D.A. (wannabe Polar explorer)

[@peterwooldridge7285]

Smashing Probably not as difficult as the infamous Portsmouth to Hereford expedition

[@jackfntwist]

You should collaborate with National Geographic Society, or something to do your research and film it properly, etc. Less autonomy, but maybe proper funding is really more important at this point.

[@jackfntwist]

Or they should do extreme expedition documentary with you.

[@tn9711]

You are only 21!? What have I beeen doing with my life.

[@AlexHibbertOriginals]

I was! A few days have passed since.
