I cannot describe how excited I am to see this. Your PCT film was incredible 👍

[@austinseder]

Glad you liked it! I hope you will enjoy this equally as much!

[@koasbreath]

I had the exact same reaction! Watching this now!

[@Horty44]

And with some of the same people!

[@markbarone4075]

So very grateful for this film - I will return to it often. Thanks for hiking with me out there - may we have more (shorter, less muddy)adventures in the future. -Pez

[@austinseder]

Glad to do it and excited for future adventures what ever those may be!

[@landofentroutment5764]

One of the best documentations of the CDT I’ve seen. Awesome videography, a great telling of the story, and enough humor and insight to keep it rolling along.

[@canelafilms2635]

Thank you Austin for taking us along on the PCT and now the CDT. I loved both documentaries, you are a talented filmmaker.

[@Danibugsss]

I LOVE these films!! As a 17 year old who can’t go out and do this stuff quite yet, I literally live vicariously through these.

[@danlucas4190]

"Make your life happen, be brave, challenge yourself, leave your comfort zone, go and see the grandest of places. Let the process run it's course and above all, enjoy the little moments along the way". Brilliant storytelling and videography on both your PCT and CDT films.

[@ashleychurch5420]

Austin/Poseidon, great work on the sophomore trail-film documentary. Solid production work, music and narration. Your PCT video was top 5 in the genre and kudos for crushing another thru-hike. Thanks for taking us on another journey. So far you're the only person I've seen to make two award-worthy triple crown trail thru-hike docs! Congrats on the amazing accomplishment!

[@austinseder]

Thank you so much! Hopefully I can bring the same, if not better, experience for the third one. Happy trails!

[@michel.h_cf99]

I agree, do you reveal to us the other 4 of your PCT Top 5? Mine are "It is the people" (Elina Osborne), "The long way home" (Titouan le Roux), "Just passing thru" (Courtney Eve White) & "Every single step" (Nathan Brooks)

[@ashleychurch5420]

@@michel.h_cf99 Great question, I'd say The hole shoes is the one I watch the most, Elina Osborne, Austin's the Art of Walking, This is not a beautiful hiking video by Chopper, and Captain Jack's multi part series. Hope that answers your question!

[@hikingmike7738]

Wow you truly have an incredible talent to capture and narrate all that a thru hike is, the amazing views, the challenges of hiking day after day, the good times and the bad. I only wish I had your ability to capture my thru hikes if only to share with my hiking friends and my family. A huge thank you for all the effort that you put in to filming and editing to share with us.

[@ViviKH]

Thank you Austin for sharing part of your journey with us! The PCT film was epic, this was beyond epic 🙌 Well worth the wait! I hope you continue to hike, film and share your stories with us. Hike, eat, rest, repeat 🏕

[@mercedes0351]

I'm speechless about your documentary films. It's such a blessing that you share this with the world. Thank you!

[@dalevanwashenova3248]

I'm only up to the Colorado potion of the doc, but this is REALLY well done! I think you have done a great job capturing the beauty, friendships, and daily challenges of the CDT! Can't wait to watch the rest!

[@forto176]

I hiked this trail SOBO in '22 and this film made me relive all of those special, magical moments... I felt moved and emotional as I now find myself navigating through real life struggling to find some real excitement... Gosh I miss those trail moments. You are a talented film maker to whom I can only say THANK YOU for bringing me back some great memories!!!! Hike on brother. Benji

[@austinseder]

My pleasure!

[@TrekkingTheRockies]

Magnificent! You have created the most outstanding film on your CDT journey in 2023. Your videography, editing and narration is absolutely captivating.

You make documentaries look fun. And easy. But we know how difficult some of that journey was. This was so good and I loved every second of it. Thank you so much for creating another rich story on the trail.

[@austinseder]

My pleasure, glad I could take you along!

[@chrishogancamp6193]

Congrats on another great video. I loved the PCT video and you have not disappointed on this one. Thank you for your efforts in this, you do not see many CDT video, but this one will go into my "favourites" section on KZbin.

[@christempleton9656]

Thank you so much for making this. I hiked the PCT in '23 and am planning to thru the CDT sobo in '26. I got emotional at so many points while watching because of how much I miss how good/bad a thru-hike feels. This was incredibly good man

[@williamsnyder4484]

Fellas. I cannot tell you much I enjoyed this film. Enjoy the moments in between the beginning and end! I love that sentiment. What a beautiful distillation of all your arduous trials and tribulations. Blessings.

[@lansingross6216]

Watched last evening. Outstanding film and storytelling. A number of times I laughed out loud. Great humor in here. Well done Austin. Congratulations!

[@SmokeyDukems]

This was so beautiful. The hike. The Vibes. The filming and editing. I'm going to do the A.T. next year and I understand that calling of the trail no matter how hard it is. It's something special that we get to feel and experience. Watching this made me feel the trail tugging at my soul. I loved this and will watch again next year on the A.T. thank you for this

[@martinfromholland751]

Thank you, it couldn't be more beautiful. In 2022 I did the CDT, what you have created cannot compete with all my stories, thank you again. And for those who complain about alternative routes, etc, go for a walk and film yourself. 2 little questions, where is the girl since Wyoming and no bear encounters?

[@austinseder]

Biggie and Shepard’s path and timing varied compared to the rest of us but we still were close by each other most of the way. We finished a day apart and met up again in Canada. And there were only a few minor bear encounters surprisingly and I didn’t get any on camera.

[@PlantPapaJohn]

I agree with many of the comments here. I really enjoyed your PCT documentary. I am on the PCT in 2024! Plant Papa

Same man! I hiked CDT in 2021. First time I watched this I got a lil teary eyed. What?! You didn't like NM? I get it though lol so many road walks and promise of epic landscapes further north . I was born and raised in NM and live only 20 mins drive from Ghost Ranch. I got to zero at home on my hike which is a wild experience. Me and buddy who is also a thru hiker and lives here are planning to do some trail magic around Chama or Ghost Ranch area when the bubble arrives.

[@Trenchina]

About a month before embarking on my own PCT journey in 22’ I watched every trail doc on KZbin in hopes of learning more and getting stoked, your documentary was at the top of my list. I’m about a month out from starting the CDT and told myself I don’t want to watch any videos before hand this time, but out of curiosity I made the search and without realizing it was your video, I felt compelled to watch. Once again moved and couldn’t be more excited for another trek. Well done pal -Trench
