Backpacking Adventure Across the Italian Dolomites

[@LiamBrown]

Uploaded the full adventure for you all :)

[@geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz]

Would have rather had a few of the cuts that you didn't include in the originals, the sort of b-side, just because I could watch more and more of this great journey. You need to hire a camera man! Me but I couldn't actually do all that walking.

[@ethicalbunny]

I was confused then 😅😅

[@leightonjones1]

Post the route you took so I can do it pls

[@LotMeek-ty6cm]

Fab as always 🎉🎉🎉

[@Johnny-fz9qn]

I liked it

[@natillymacartney1412]

"Oh, look! There's a snake. Should I touch it?' .... Proceeds to touch it. Liam your endless curiosity and love for exploring makes me smile so much!

[@andybowen1981]

Couldn’t sleep last night and stumbled across your videos. Watched your walk from John O’Groats to Lands End and was hooked. I don’t even hike but wanted to say congratulations on your videos. You can see you have grown in you filming skill and editing. But most of all I would say people are watching you because of the story that is told through you. I think that is your biggest strength and appeal. Your calm, peaceful delivery, focus on the experience, unhurried enjoyment of the simplicity and joy that can be had out of living. As this KZbin thing grows for you don’t lose that. Enhance it but don’t lose it. All the skills as a storyteller you are developing should always serve to better enhance the main focal point. You…. It’s you that’s people are appealed to. A decent young man going on a journey, taking in the joys and hardships that come about from living as good a life as you make it. Congratulations and thank you.

Hi Liam, just want to say thank you for the content you put out. Watching your backpacking Britain video inspired me to get into hiking and I’ve since done the Coast2Coast, the West Highland Way and I’ve just got back from the GR20 in Corsica. If you haven’t thought about doing it, I’d really recommend the GR20 for your next adventure; it is very physically challenging but incredibly beautiful.

[@Supii88]

My boyfriend and I have been watching your videos during our downtime. We’re currently in Norway and feeling inspired! We would highly recommend Norway for you!! It’s like no other country to hike! Thanks for your videos!

[@jmcmurrah]

Watched both parts… absolutely lovely. My dear 84 year old Mom has broken her leg and it’s a slow heal, as fit as she is. She adores watching your videos - it encourages her towards healing! Would you post a map/trail name on your short videos or somesuch?

[@jacquelinecurtis]

I think your chipmunk sighting was actually a Marmot. They live in the mountains. Thankyou for a wonderful video. Your joy at being in the wild open places is so obvious and contagious.

[@johnwalker7434]

Thanks

[@helenwhalley798]

What a stunning trip. And so good to see the genuine joy on your face.

[@energysavingday]

Thank you for the guided tour of the Italian Dolomites...

[@jimmymorrison8314]

You're an absolute legend, fair play to you. I think this is my favourite video of yours. Nice one.👌

[@waynehaslam87]

I wish I had your enthusiasm for life. You’re a fantastic role model 💪

[@t0p-D]

Hey Liam, your video inspired me and my mates to book a week in the Dolomites, we fly on 30th of this month!!

[@t0p-D]

edit - it was the best week of my life

[@jimcameron66]

@@t0p-D where did you hike?

[@t0p-D]

[@princessmhlongo8565]

@@t0p-D hi , is it possible to do your itinerary without a car?

[@t0p-D]

@ unfortunately it is not :( although I believe you can use public transport with buses etc. a car is wayyyyyyy better though

[@earthfriendly5799]

wonderful video, as all the others I enjoyed on your channel. I love Italy and this has brought a trip I had there back to life. thank you so much.

[@JesstheDJ999]

The sunset on the mountains is absolutely stunning, love watching your videos mate 👍👍👍👍

[@gabrielanogueiravicosa298]

Your videos are such a delight to my eye and my soul! Ever since I found your vlog about three months ago, I've been feeling increasingly motivated to get more active, go out more often in nature, and hopefully resume hiking, which is something I absolutely loved to do. Thank you for sharing this piece of your life with us! I'm pretty fond of Italy and The Dolomites, so I'm glad you got to go there and share your hiking experience with us - those orange lilies were just so lovely! I also love your sense of humor, it's so entertaining! Lastly, bravo to you bc you're actually managing to build a great community here as shown in the comments section. Tons of blessings to you in your endeavors, Liam! Cheers!

[@drew2757]

Iam, you are making us all very envious of your adventures. This was just extraordinary. I can remember years ago when I had the same euphoria backpacking the High Peaks of the Adirondacks. Thanks for taking us along.

[@linusfotograf]

If you haven't been I suggest visiting the Tatras mountains in Poland & Slovakia. While you walk on top of a ridge or in a valley make sure you chew on some delicious local smoked cheese.

[@deeAndCoOutdoors]

I was so excited, then confused,& then I realised you up loaded the full trip on one video! What a beautiful place to Trek around. Great content, look forward to your videos 😊

[@daphne8406]

Absolutely beautiful! 🤩 And it also really shows how quickly the weather can change in the mountains 😅☀️🌧️

[@andylow2882]

Amazing adventure. Beautiful but hard work. Great vid. Thanks

[@Fishy1764]

Your snake at 10:23 is actually an Adder just incase you havent seen one before. Fantastic video Liam the Dolomites look an amazing place.

[@VampireMelissa]

"it's beer, oh my God it's chilled" LOL that was funny😅

[@dreamsnake222]

dear Liam, please: when using water in delicate environments for washing, with biodeg soap or not, keep in mind someone is about to drink that a few hundred meters downstream. its best to move a few meters off, so soil if any and biosfere can have a go at skincells, bodyoil, soap... before it enters stream again. for bodywash i personally use just a plastic waterbottle, and use a plastic bag for refreshing/washing clothes away from the stream.

[@olebreinholtchristiansen9005]

Hi Liam, thank you so much for posting this great video from your trip in the Dolomites. I really appreciate the spirit you have to give us a glimpse of all the wonderful nature around you .

[@gailrogers3046]

Am sooo ready for this escapism Liam. Thankyou so very much. Gonna thoroughly enjoy this. 👍😊

[@merfymac]

It'd be cool if you had a guided hike service Liam. Many benefits: great excuse to get out into nature, gets new people into getting out there, earn you a tidy sum, fill some space between your YT adventures, scheduled to fit your calendar, etc.

[@anthonycowan3655]

Wow what an amazing adventure and achievement, some stunning views and the food looked great too. Keep the videos coming mate. Take care.

[@sparrowheadswest]

I think this is one of the bestest Vlogs I've seen. Why does the green in the Dolomites pop like that? It's almost iridescent. 🤩 Thank you for sharing your journey. 😊

[@saraquitt2119]

I just got back from solo hiking the Alps and Dolomites. Exhausted but happy!

[@wallyj3602]

Amazing video! Planning my own adventure off the back of this!

[@jameshiggins.openworld]

great video

[@chrisarnold4709]

And jolly good it was too, one of your best!!

[@Jonathan-dn6ex]

12:50 Hi Liam after hearing this part it’d be cool if you could rank all the places you’d been to now that you’ve been to a bunch of different countries now too! Just like you did with all the national parks in the Uk

[@ninajeffrey-howard5007]

Loving the episode mate keep it going hard walking full respect

[@GeorgeWestwater]

Fantastic as always. Thank you

[@AgnieszkaRudnicka-e2b]

Beautiful hike 🤩

[@Martycycleman]

Cheers Liam, really enjoyed your video and your vibe.

[@erikaskasradze7210]

Hi Liam, I remember I used to watch your videos on stealth camping outside ikea and McDonald's and was wondering how could I find those as they have disappeared and wanna watch them again!! Thanks

[@Escape_normality]

Awesome vid! Where do you share / could you share the route details? Last part is Alta Via 1?

[@NaN-noCZ]

I was in Venice a week ago and I recognize everything in the first minute and then some! Kind of impressive because it all feels very similar when you!re walking there.

[@jacksonlone1]

Great video, man. Can't wait for the next one!

[@pitchforkcustom]

great seeing someone having a brilliant time.. 👍

[@scottalpert3444]

This was so great, I had to watch it twice

[@JillTravenner]

Wow, the breathtaking vistas of the Italian Dolomites while backpacking were like stepping into a fairytale! The rugged peaks and lush valleys painted a picture of nature's true majesty. Each step on the trail felt like a journey into a dreamland of beauty and tranquility. It's a place where every corner turned presents a new awe-inspiring scene that captures the heart and soul. Exploring the Dolomites is truly a testament to the wonders our planet has to offer.🫰

[@LotMeek-ty6cm]

What gets me - imagine looking and. Booking a dolomites walking tour- fair enough comes with guides blah blah but would cost an absolute bomb! I feel like I’m still not quite brave enough - but defo going out this week :)

[@damienlumby7517]

Brilliant fella 👏 excellent adventure. Come and do the romanian carpathians mountains. It's stunning . ❤

[@DanoffRoad]

Hi Liam. You can tell you were in the Army with all that hiking you do. Keep Marching on 😃

[@miele6372]

When did you do this hike and which trail did you pick? I've heard that the dolomites can be really touristy in the summer months but it seems you were very lucky!

[@Tenkara_Retiree]

Liam, if you ever want to do the John Muir trail in the Sierras (California), I can provide intel on best routes and wildlife. I know the Sierras well!

[@jmay3200]

This content is phenomenal

[@maxvcollenburg]

Looks really awesome! Anyone knows which route Liam followed roughly?

[@nimmyjix]

Mate this is so cool

[@TannerCoIin]

Love this one mate. I love them all tbh. But yea, lots of 'what?!'s' early on in this one (the snake) Cracks me up every time. I really dig your channel mate. I've been thinking about starting a proper youtube channel and yours is one I'd 100% aspire to be like. Such a dude.

[@mikechadwick8163]

Liam, thank you so much for making and sharing this trip. The Dolomites look spectacular (I like the orange mountains at sunset), but how do you know which of the many formed track to take?

[@Iron-Outdoor]

Amazing again! 🤩

[@arranlaw]

Should try the south west coast path mate, unbelievable views of Cornwall and some of the best beaches in Britain, arguably eourope aswell👍

[@daviddonnelly7182]

Second time I've watched this and have to say it's my favourite

[@danielott7252]

could you say where on map or some close by waypoint of the lake at minute 16:00 where you slept?

[@DjiMavicMini58]

Dolomites are fantastic there was a possibility of bumping into the odd Bear being so remote Im sure you were aware A very brave young boy Well done watching from my 2nd home in Austria orig from Wales Maybe one day you should consider coming to Austria Hope Venice wasn’t too expensive for you,

[@DenysMamaYOLO]

Nice stuff, thank you for this video mate!

[@thetrappedchatterbox7941]

This is actually THE trail ive been looking at since doing the Camino. Lookjng forward to getting stuck into this. A note I do have maybe for videos going forward is to let viewers know if there was a particular route you followed at the beginning of the vid. I'm looking at this thinking the trail looks fantastic, but i'm not sure if you followed a particular route or not. 👍

[@ninajeffrey-howard5007]

Amazing footage special country

[@izzydavie5505]

would love to see u do the pct! have always wanted to do it myself

[@LoremIpsum1970]

Never been! And I can watch your videos over and over again. Certainly approve of your food choices.

[@kaneedwards7629]

Hi Liam Since watching the video of the Dolomites Ive booked my flight and I am preparing for my first wild camping trip abroad could you give any advice hints or tips im for this particular adventure

[@sliiiimjim]

This was great! Inspired me to consider going myself. How do you plan your trips and know what places to visit ? I would get to venice and then not have a clue what to do! haha

[@patrickevans8940]

Cracking video Liam You lucky chap, what fantastic surroundings and views

[@ryanc4748]

Wow that trip looks amazing is it the av1 u did? Going next week can't wait 😊 where are u around 27,30 looks lush

[@sliiiimjim]

Anyone know the name of the lake at the start of the video ? It looks amazing!

[@Lacells]

Brother this the best video I’ve seen on KZbin. Waiting for the invite on a trip 🙂❤

[@jordytreks]

What would everyone recommend as a good circular multi day hike in the dolomites? Or am I being naive thinking there are circular routes? I’m used to the Lake District 😅

[@hameratahir]

Hi Liam . Love all your content, really inspiring. Have you walked the Laurie Lee route - from Stroud in Gloucester to Malaga? I've read his books about 12 times and wish someone would recreate that awesome journey! I was sure someone must have done it by now? Thanks Liam

[@isobelclementine]

Have you read ‘My midsummer morning’ by Alastair Humphreys? He revisits part of the route and made a short film too

[@kaanjel]

Amazin as always. You should do west Norway sometime😍

Hi Liam, i was wondering what tent you use? Love your vids

love it bro

[@68282hsjjsjs]

Excellent video

[@Brittanysjoy]

Fantastic video. Just a thought seeing you are mostly traveling solo, do you carry a GPS tracking device.

[@MarleyHudswell]

How did you travel from Venice to the dolomites? Is it better to get public transport or rent a car?.

[@pauldavies9360]

Fantastic! It goes to show you don't need to be rich to have an awesome experience. Flight and food. Done!

[@tonymccambridge3530]

Have you a route for this ? would be very interested in doing it!

[@topsysdad1]

the scenery and sounds, if you were selling the dolomites i'd be buying.

[@BumblebeeAdventure]

Great video. dreaming of going backpacking

[@ScottLindemann]

Bro the worst thing you can do if you see a bear is turn your back and run. You need to assert your dominance and make the bear aware that you are there and you’re not a threat, never lock eyes with a bear, and if it comes towards you, shout and make yourself bigger by holding up your arms etc. never turn your back and run.

[@kwameopoku5479]

Yes mate👍🏽

Great video 🙂and like your hair cut

Whats the situation there with Wild Bears and Wolves? Hiking wild in the Italian Dolomites...Great Video👌🐺🏔🏕🏕

[@gerhardrohne2261]

the greatest danger there of course are the wild running english dodos, demanding fish and chips shops...
