[@viewer478kll0]

Loved watching the hikes through your lens. I live here in Arizona. You are an inspiration. I may follow in your footsteps one day soon.

[@boblupo6863]

Congratulations on your hike!! Almost 2 months out!!!

[@bettysweet802]

Thank you so much for allowing us to join you on this amazing hike.....throw us a bone and give us a hint about future hikes. All the best

[@thinshadow]

Hey man, just finished watching your AZT hike videos and wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed them. I live here in AZ and have done several of the passages you went through, and I thought you really did them justice. Hope things are going good for you.

[@schmitzcj]

Congratulations! Thanks again for recording for all of us, you do a great job. We'll be looking forward to your next adventure.

[@stevebailey3289]

Congratulations, Chris! Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. Really appreciate the sunny attitude, sound of footsteps, and silence in your videos. Best of luck with your next adventure!!

[@fredd3243]

Watched them all. That was fun! Thanks for helping get me through quarantine!

[@Oldsparkey]

Congratulations on a successful third long distance hike. Looking forward to the next one we have the pleasure of sharing with you. After all that cold and cool dry weather welcome back to the Land of Heat and Humidity.

[@goldenblazehikes]

Have enjoyed following your videos. Looking forward to seeing where you head next.

[@ChrisBrown-gw5tg]

Where have you been Chris?? We need more videos!!

[@rumblechick73]

Well done Chris! Watching your adventures is such a pleasure. Hoping to see more from you sooner rather than later.

[@TawnaTV]

Another long distance trail conquered! Congratulations

[@andymacmac9151]

Thanks Chris for taking the time and effort to post your adventures on the Arizona Trail for all to watch..... I did the Colorado Trail last year, and have the AZT trail locked in for next year, hopefully starting 24th February.... would love to have done it this year, but all hiking plans cancelled due to the Pandemic... I found your videos so informative.... my concerns over decent quality water sources and rattlesnakes have now been eased! The one thing that I have really picked up from you, is the storms.... I’ll need to factor in a good few extra days to cover for the bad weather, as living in Australia, I really need to try and knock this off in one trip! Thanks again Andrew

[@treverbrown166]

Congrats!!! Amazing hike, and videos!!! Thank you so very much for sharing!!! I have really enjoyed watching your hike from start to finish.

[@stuartgoodrich7712]

Just binge watched your whole AZ Trail series over the last 2 days. Enjoyed it very much and really like your style. Thanks.

[@SDSsongs]

Now what am I supposed to watch?!? By far the best videos covering the AZT. Very, very well done.

[@bradley96]

Just finished binge watching your AZ trail hike! Amazing! Thank you so much for posting your videos and taking all of us along with you. I realistically will never do the hike due to health restrictions, but through the eyes of your camera and you as a guide it will be more than enough for me. I looked forward to each passage as you progressed and have nothing but admiration for you. Thanks again and look forward to any of your future journeys. God bless you.

[@Snipe25198]

Congratulations, especially enjoyed the contrast with the AT. Our country offers such a diverse climate, glad you shared your experience wit us

[@rmt3131]

Thank you Chris! Very well done! Hope to follow in your footsteps.

[@79366813arizona]

[@victoriacornell6067]

I love your videos. Thanks for taking me hiking with you.

[@daveallwood2626]

Well done Chris. I was with you the whole way. Thanks for the vision. If you ever hike the Trans Canada trail , stop in for a visit!

[@thomasalexander9769]

So fabulous! Have enjoyed every video. Congratulation, Chris. You have inspired me.

[@azcolby40]

Congratulations on finishing the AZT . Got to watch your final video today looking forward to following in your footsteps but only a passage at a time . This trail is still a work in progress as the Arizona Trail Association continues to improve upon its path by removing the trail from roadways and getting the trail and wilderness hike areas as opposed to Road hikes, we also strive to keep the trail clear of deadfall and other dangerous things signage is being improved. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience along the trail, your videos have captured the diversity of the trail very well thank you

[@tombebee]

Congrats on your finish. Thank you for posting the series, I enjoyed watching each one and seeing how different it is from our hiking in the east. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@suzyq9961]

Congratulations on the successful completion and in less than two months! Thank you for sharing the journey in such a unique and peace filled way.

[@bhclark6128]

[@jwsnma]

Congratulations on completing the hike. Brought back memories of the time I lived in AZ

[@jpsadventures9864]

Chris I really enjoyed watching your Epic Journey looking forward to your next adventure!

[@kensmithvideoproductions2987]

Congrats Chris, have really enjoyed all your hikes - you make them interesting. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@mebalina]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey! You are so pleasant and calm and your videos are getting me prepare for the AZT next spring.

[@scottanders1192]

Just finished watching your amazing journey, Chris. I live in Sierra Vista, where you began. You did a marvelous job documenting the trip. You're an inspiration!

[@denimacaz]

Thanks for letting me share in this beautiful AZT hike! Although I live in AZ I only recently learned of this trail. I’m nowhere ready for a thru-hike but you’ve inspired me nevertheless-I’m scouring my maps to see where I can drive to a trail head and do a few day hikes along this trail. After that...who knows?!

[@doubled5037]

Congrats Chris ! Thanks as always.

[@theresaalexander3205]

Thank you, Chris. Delightful videos. Really amazing!

[@TomandJulieMineExploring]

Nice job and congrats! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@madhiker4667]

Congratulations!

[@garyclaytonphotography5708]

What an awesome journey. I have very much enjoyed following your adventure. Amazing. I will be attempting the Arizona trail March 2020. In September this year I will be attempting the Canadian Bruce Trail here in Ontario about 1000 km. You are a great inspiration. Thank you.

[@michaelp1109]

Congratulations! Very impressive.

[@JeffSwal]

Congrats. I really enjoyed following along!

[@tony_r_pierce]

Congratulations, Slim! Appreciate the videos.

[@stevewebb1652]

[@1020LAStep]

[@judybonnaure2595]

That's great! Enjoyed your vlogs! Also enjoyed your AT thru hike! Be well!

[@musthaveblues]

Thanks a bunch. Loved the series.

[@letsgobaby8501]

Congrats!!

[@budmiller8425]

Great Series! But damn, now you got to walk back and get your car..

[@TheOrdep1976]

Hope all is good, I have enjoyed all the videos that I've watched, keep it up

[@NickyTBeats]

should make a video summing up your experience on the azt. like what you needed or could have done without or what you recommend as well as how your gear held up an any problems that arose. would be a great video an very informative for us newbies who want to get out on the trail but are hesitant.

[@Sue-vb1nc]

really enjoyed the virtual trek ..whoever makes those shoes should sponsor you..THX

[@shelleysolomon2228]

Wow. Congrats. Great videos. Come on over to Catalina state park in greater Tucson

[@frankynodots]

Congrats! I've been waiting for this one. 1. What's next? 2. Did you come across any other hikers?

[@kimdokkyu]

I love your style videos. Hope all is well.

[@azcolby40]

Chris I understand you're from Florida! I hope you have fared well against Irma, I have family and friends up in the panhandle area, Pensacola and Crestview

[@LouieMarsh]

Fantastic! What a great trip and I've learned a lot from watching. Do you plan on putting out a summary of the trip? How long each passage took, etc.? Just think that would be interesting. But looking forward to your next adventure.

[@Sharonius54]

As an Arizona resident, I loved watching your videos of the AZT thru hike. Congratulations! A couple of things I noticed that baffled me a bit: You weren't using trekking poles and you never wore sunglasses! Also it looked like you were wearing the same pair of shoes the entire 800 miles! How you managed not to destroy them is amazing! Care to share the brand name?

[@desertdreamer460]

I'm an AZ native and noticed the same things. I can't even walk to my mailbox without sunglasses! I believe he is wearing Altra Lone Peak trail runners. I have the same shoes, and they are super comfortable, but I prefer them for trails that are less rocky since they aren't as stable as a true hiker. I'd guess since he had such a light pack, it aided in their longevity.

[@johnhenderson8360]

Congratulations on finishing your Arizona Trail Thru-Hike. What's next?

[@dmuss303]

Cool. What's next?

[@Themilkmanskid.]

So very awesome!

[@burnproof21]

Congrats. I enjoyed your adventure. I liked the fact your videos weren't super long and you always seemed to have a smile. How did the sawyer mini hold up?

[@kenwbrenner]

Hi Chris. First, well done on completing the Arizona Trail - no small feat! As info, I visited Sierra Vista, AZ when my oldest son and his family were stationed at Ft. Huachuaca. He and I hiked 3 times during our trips there. So, your first video was special to me. Questions/Comments: 1. You used an iPhone 7 Plus. How much memory does it have? Did you ever have to find a way of "offloading files" in order to shoot more footage? 2. You are a natural at narrating, filming, and editing/producing hiking videos (I've watched your series on the Arizona Trail and Florida Trail). I look forward to watching more series, 3. Since the trail is not marked like the AT and other eastern trails are, did you ever have issues with finding the route? God Bless, Ken

[@alanlau3278]

Loved your videos of the AZT. My AZT thru hike ended in 3/20 when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. My friends and I hope to go back this yr to finish. As others have commented I love your upbeat view of things. Thanks again. BTW, how did you get back to civilization from the Stateline Campground?

[@shawntucker7674]

Congratulations on a well earned victory! I hope to follow this path Spring/Fall 2018. I've never done a thru hike, but live here in Tucson and have been practicing in the Santa Catalina's and surrounding areas. Were there any surprises you found or maybe some trail specific advice you can offer?

[@triwinner2385]

Chris...I have enjoyed watching your hikes. How did you get from the terminus to Vegas or back home?

[@desertdreamer460]

Just finished watching your videos and loved every minute. I have hiked many of those trails as an AZ native, but would love to someday do the entire trail. Quick question; since you didn't know the exact date when you would be camping in the Grand Canyon, how did you get a permit? Maybe you don't need one for Cottonwood that early in the season? Also, just curious, what was your favorite passage? Thanks for sharing your journey and thanks for always smiling!

[@azcolby40]

Chris when you start the CDT where were you fly into in the west here El Paso? Or Phoenix? If you should happen to come into Phoenix to reachThe CDT trailhead I would be willing to drive you there

[@sklise1]

how far apart did you get or do drops? Guessing every 100 or 200 miles? Way cool video.

[@user-vf1ob8gi2c]

CDT! CDT! CDT!.........

[@jonathanbruening3860]

Chris, where are you? We have not heard from you in nearly 3 months. Lots of people wondering how you are, I'm sure. Please check in.

[@hipbone01]

Nice job :)

[@vibelife5133]

badass

[@Андре-КРЫЛОВ]

Where was gone? Where new video?

[@farklemybrainsout]

how many people did you encounter on the trail? In your videos it seems pretty lonely.

[@Hefmier]
