Day 2 - Injuries & Issues Already | Tour du Mont Blanc

[@douggibson9084]

Amazing views Guys, thanks 👍👍.

[@kimberleybruce39]

Stunning views! Try not to push it too hard though, slightly concerned about the pressure you’re putting on your lungs and heart post Covid. There’s been many sad endings where people have pushed themselves too far too quickly. Just stay safe out there!

[@zionsublime]

I had just finished the TMB a couple days ago and am flying back to Calgary today. All my luggage was lost on the way in / still don't have it. I ended up going to Decatholon in Chamonix to buy all new gear. There was no way I missing this tour. Feels like I'm there with you! Hang in there, it's a grind, but so worth it!!!

[@SeantheBioBro]

I want to hug those cows! Hope the extremities are feeling better!

[@manxxique]

I'm rooting for you guys to finish your trip safe and sound !

[@filmic1]

I'm admiring how you folks have your shoulder and load stabilizer straps adjusted. (Stephanie is funny going through her meds kit, Ibu and antacids.... that's why!! Shoulda thought of that!)

[@GrayMan7070]

You guys can do it!!! Rooting for ya :) The Meds review cracked me up!

[@neo57611]

Nice hope your both having fun!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Beautiful views Justin. You and Steph are doing great!

[@Colorado_Kkid]

The scenery is incredible ... I am very jealous ... Enjoy your adventure!

[@isabelledrolet4297]

I'm hurting seeing you struggle like this. I hope you are not doing too much so that it would inflame your lungs further. Stay safe!! It looks so beautiful out there, though. Oh, and a small point that made me surprisingly happy: you manage to edit your video in a way that you didn't cut off your last word!!! Woo-hoo!!

[@sparkydeeltfc4337]

Great videos. We start in just over a week, so this is great to follow along. Keep going strong 💪

[@Aworldalone]

We loved a medically prepared queen! 👏👏

[@ursulaanne]

Love to see steph carrying on the summit dances 😄

[@sarahdunstan2061]

Beautiful day! I enjoyed this video!

[@BigBlueVentures]

Loving these daily videos, Justin! Hope you and Steph are having a wonderful time. Amazing views!! Keep ‘em coming but I’m afraid I’ll miss a few this weekend while I’m up at Garibaldi… lol 🇨🇦🏔

[@broonage]

Just recovered from covid too, kudos to you, I get out of breath climbing 2 flights of stairs! And keep the beer flowing

[@SummitSeeker546]

Massaging the Achilles tendon by pinching it and working it side to side as you work your way to the top of the tendon works pretty well. Check out this video, forward to 11:30 for massaging the Achilles. Good luck! Soak in those cold streams too!

[@Lv4_o2]

Omg, the Pro Cow Call skill and Steph’s med bag!!!😂. Where do I enter to win a hiking trip with the two of youz!?! I’ll carry the beer.😉

[@elysestokley5416]

I second this! 😉

[@petaaaaa1234]

steph is a trooper!

[@kevans2337]

After covid my husband called it Lungulations. It took me a year of working my lungs hiking to not feel like that. And Steph, a nice mini massage from Justin and your calves will feel a lot better. I have a great husband who has magic massage hands.

[@MattyOutdoors]

miss seeing that smilin face in person! You look super happy my dude

[@TheSleepyDad]

Enjoying these videos, thanks! Can you show a little more about the refugios? What are they like inside? How is the food?

[@MukGames]

Glad (?) to see there's others out there having to deal with eczema on the trail. What exactly was in that kit for it? I struggle pretty bad with it on my hands and feet, especially after being out in the heat and humidity for a couple days at a time. I try to take allergy meds to reduce it but always end up having to bring moisturizer to deal with inevitable flare ups. :/

[@clarkansas6590]

Good job

[@moe_1886]

Wow! Those views are amazing!! Definitely looks like it's tough going, even without the injuries/issues you both are experiencing, but kudos for trooping on! As for Steph, she's a mobile drugstore! 😂🤣

[@stephenbouchard8075]

Great video guys!! Will you guys be doing a q&a live stream about this hike afterwards

[@musingwithreba9667]

I hope you're all better now Justin. That can't be any fun at all hiking at altitude with reduced lung function 😢 The views are spectacular tho, holy jeez! Almost makes me want to go hike it myself! 😁 being an Ontario flatlander tho, I may have to do some altitude training.

[@thekevinfoster]

Hope you get better soon! Or you’re doing better now if this is already recorded. Dealing with injuries on long hikes like that is brutal. Mentally more than physically even at times. Had to deal with some rough calf issues and possibly tendonitis on the Camino a couple months back. Take care of yourself, the trail is always there.

[@alexandersnider734]

"and then, you know, just baby prevention stuff" im fucking dead :D

[@TrekkingPackingGear]

Lucky Cows at 0:30 sponsored by Decathlon. I want to be sponsored too, for just ringing bells 😄

[@angelag5708]

really worried about the exertion on your lungs ♥️ and as much as I love a good beer I can't imagine it's a good addition to your recovery

[@tyyao2000]

Loved the drug tour lmao

[@positronikiss]

Junky you

[@Babel7078]

Have a good time there! Everyone there have only short sleeve baselayers except for you and there mast be a reason.🤔

[@helo_ania]

"See you guys in the morning." - video cuts out... One of the many reasons I *LOVE* your videosl! Pink spoon spotted @11:00?

[@nickmail7604]

Has your other half considered using KT tape for her injury? A strip each side of her achilles from her heel to mid way up her calf might help, leave the actual achilles free, just giving it a bit of support.

[@natehoover5266]

Man there is no way I could drink a beer and keep hiking.

[@positronikiss]

Yeah that sucks, beer rules for the days end, not intermezzo.

[@idrisddraig2]

Beer at la Blame, going to the Bonhomme - Brutal

[@lynnmacdonald-webber7657]

The drug tour cracked me up!!

[@andynoll7717]

Could not find the tent you mentioned on the Decathlon site, Forclaz Trek 900.....is it a prototype? Wanted to know the weight of the tent and price.

[@moritzhuntemann]

According to their site it weighs 1.95 kg (4.3 lbs) and costs 229.99€. Maybe it‘s not available in the US yet. I know that their range of products is smaller there.

[@mmeljac]

So many questions: refugios have food/drinks, staff? When you get back will you go over how you planned this trip,etc? And is Steph wearing something like a Hoka or a regular trail runner? Wondering if Hokas would help make the achilles feel better? I get that every so often from foot slapping when tired. Also Steph don't feel bad I also carry Vitamin I cream.🤣

[@thomaskleber8420]

normally refugios in the alps have staff and offer food and drinks but there are also self-catering huts (but not that much), it depends

[@StingyPrepper]

She is definitely using Hoka. From the look of it it could be the Speedgoat 3 or 4 but I am not sure about the model.

[@idrisddraig2]

On the TMB all refugios have Food, Drinks, Staff and unfortunatley most of the season Crowds.

[@jimiglazier9731]

You guys probably have a last name but for now it is Mr. and Mrs. Justin Outdoors.

[@sebulban]

Why jacket & pants if it is so hot? Shorts & sleeveless would be my choice 😃

[@lisaray6493]

I’ll bet that milk is wonderful! Yummo

[@WS_00]

Was that someone having a lazy vape seconds before the video finished?

[@NoOne-yt6yf]

It's not hot! It's the jacket and hood you fool!
