Merci Floor.

[@markcummings6856]

Thank you! Your efforts are much appreciated.

[@raktoda707]

Incredible energy !!! Beautiful soundtrack

[@allabellaa]

I've never felt so represented in a hiking video before. By you showing the highs and lows really make me feel like I'm not alone when hiking solo. Loved this video! Thank you!

[@davidspencer6384]

A very honest account. The place looks beautiful, and challenging.

[@seb25100]

I have realy missed your videos! Glad your back! Great video and as always very honest, funny and full of joy!

[@annosuperstar]

I love your videos so much, thanks for keeping it real and showing lows as well as highs! ❤

[@timd7614]

I solo-hiked from Oslo to Andalsnes last summer, mainly alongside the Saga Trail, about the same overall distance as you did.This video really brings me back to these unique, precious, hard to describe moments : the unique cosiness of these beautiful DNT cabins, the craziness of walking on your own, at times, when emotions overwhelm us so much that neither words nor images can any longer encapsulate the beauty of what passes through us, the dull apprehension of the end, when we have to tear ourselves away from these paths and take the train back home. Thank you Floor, this touches me deeply. (also nice song selection as always !)

[@nalxs]

So happy that you're back. we missed you. I love your honest videos with all the ups and downs. this is hiking. great work. keep it up.

[@JonnoDoesStuff]

She back!

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

I have been thinking about hiking this trail for a long time,so I was happy to find your beautiful video.Thanks a lot.Your Channel looks interresting,so I hope to see more from you.Have a great day.

[@milupaoutdoor]

Simply, you are the best..... I am so happy to see a new hiking video from your chanal . Thanks for all the impressions.. Best regards from Milupa Outdoor. I think from your biggest Fan in Germany..:)

[@tessij8205]

I first found your videos while searching for TMB videos. That one was awesome, super informative and I think your personality is so candid and refreshing! Thank you for posting such great hiking videos!

[@bachurrr]

Glad you are back on trail, you are so great! Beautiful, emotional & wonderful video. For sure on my list now. Thank you!

[@abravandervelden8306]

Wat een heerlijke en eerlijke video. Geweldige muziek er bij. Ik heb genoten!

[@greifi7283]

Hi Floor, it is soo cool to see your video. Your energy is awesome. How funny that you too nearly ended your hike because all the hikers coming from the other direction said how difficult it was going to be further up. Girrrl power!!!

[@koustupp]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us. Norway is amazing!

[@wildstraybymikkelbizmandru5793]

Congrats on your hike, Floor :) seems like MASSIV give you all it had to offer!! well done. incredible film you've produced!

[@floordenil]

Thank you so much, Mikkel! To introduce me to this hike ánd to guide me in the planning proces :). Hugs to you!!!

[@jacquesbasson322]

the best hiking videos always put a smile on my face :)

[@lucy_orangina]

Hi Floor, I just started watching this video when I come to part you crying. I have to drop you comment. I started cry with you that momemt cos I,just arrived from long crossing Lofoten and seen myslef how one moment I cried so much felt so lonely asking myslef what hell im doing here and few momemts later feeling bless by aurora and happy like never before. You are hilarious, so real and I love real KZbin creators as Im trying do same. This way like i bumped to your video I know its ok to loosing myslef on solo long distance hikes. Thank you for being yourself. Week ago I burst to tears saying I never want hike anymore and now planning Massiv trail for next year 😂. Im now going to finish watching ❤ Thank you for hard work and inspiration all best ... Lucy

[@juditbruynseels706]

Oh joepie zo blij een nieuwe hiking video te mogen zien van je. Ik was er al lang op aan het wachten :) Opnieuw weer een prachtige wandeling wouw! Ik ben ook heel benieuwd naar de tips en info over deze route, so please maak er een video over!

[@shakilnorway]

One of the most entertaining and with fantastic veiws of Norway. Excellent video.

[@Dutch-Hiking-Man]

Dat was weer even geleden dat je een filmpje maakte, maar hij was weer fantastisch🤪👍⛺️😃😉🤙wat een barre tocht

[@MoritzBaldes]

Awesome video on a trek I didn't even know existed. It looked really stunning.

[@arianeghiette2963]

Amazing video ! So glad you’re back, this hike seems amazing! Thanks for being you ! 🥰

[@grigoriosdelaportas4380]

It is fascinating to me watching the life of others. We all have our own stories and adventures and if we took the time to reflect and admire people for walking through their own paths, we would definitely elevate ourselves to a more noble level of humanity. How wonderful it has been to watch your video. To see you go through your emotions and have the courage to share with us has been inspiring. Keep walking the paths that you design for yourself and when you encounter the obstacles, just get over them... Just do it. Thanks for sharing.

[@micky_hikes]

I loved every minute of this film - thank you so much for making it! And that hut really was gezellig (a word I was told by my Dutch friend was the only Dutch word I ever needed to learn!)

[@MichaelJ_]

Your travel companion!! 😍🥰😁🥳🎉 Wonderfull!! Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@Balintrebeka]

So happy to find your video, makes me smile :). Your energy makes me feel good..I'll keep watching. Pls do more :)

[@cartapouille]

Never heard of that trail, that's a great discovery! Thank you for that, enjoyed seeing the good and the bad, reminds us all about our thru hikes. Oh and the tent stakes you recommended are still rocking after several years of hiking, so thank you !

[@aaronkent1741]

Absolutely loved the video and your energy. 100% going to do that next summer instead of the cape wrath trail

[@ruicastro9388]

I just adored the video. You are so funny. Sadly the weather was not helping, but even so YOU DID IT!!!! Congratulations.

[@naturalflow157]

Thank you so much for this video. It really brings an adventuours spirit into us all. That's exactly what I needed to see in those moments, since I used to be a big traveler and adventure guy, I lost some myself somewhere along the way. Thanks to your creativity and willingnes to share your adventures I feel like the traveling lion is awakening within. THank you and wish you the best :)

[@crouton8730]

Well, Floor, my suggestion is that you should record your other life, too! You know, when you're not on the trail! That would be awesome to see what else you do, and what makes you YOU! ;) Just a suggestion! :)

[@paulboger3890]

Really really fun to watch. So much energy and a wonderful fun personality!!

[@tatianasilva2411]

So good to see you and your videos back ❤

neeeeeeeeeee.. Nu heb ik je meest recente video gezien en moeten we alweeeer een heel jaar wachten voordat je weer gaat stappen! wat een geweldige video weer. niet alleen maar stoere chick plaatjes maar ook behoorlijk kwetsbaar... het is niet elke seconden-minuut-uur- eh.. dag leuk wanneer je een einde loopt! Ga zo door!

[@oisteinthomassen]

Wow that's a great long hike, Floor! Good to see that you're enjoying the Norwegian mountains. Plenty of fantastic opportunities for hikes up here. Just started a youtube hiking channel myself and great to get some inspiration from other channels like yours. All emotions coming through and you're not afraid to convey it to the viewers. High authenticity factor in your videos, isn't that what everybody is looking for? Keep it up:)

Wat een heerlijke video! Glimlach op mijn gezicht van het begin tot het eind. Heb genoten!

Wonderful scenery and a beautiful film of your incredible hiking adventure! Outstanding.

[@thijsberends]

Jaaa je bent er weer! :D Wat geweldig dat je vier nationale parken in één hike hebt kunnen meepakken. Ik heb ze deze zomer ook alle vier gezien, maar alleen maar day hikes gedaan. Dan is dit echt wel weer next level. Respect hoor!

[@Peter_Fordos]

Finally not another boring hiking video with spectacular drone scenes and soft music. :D I like the funny style of this video, it's very entertaining. Am I right in seeing that this path is relatively abandoned? It seems to me Kungsleden is a busy highway compared to it.

[@floordenil]

Yes, this trail is definitely less busy than the Kungsleden!

[@justwalkbro]

My love is back! Need to see it)

Reality is sometimes more painful than we expect. But it's nice when everything ends well. Congratulations for the success.

[@soerenjordan]

Awesome video, thx a lot. I also watched the video of Mikkel Mandrup about the Massive Trail, too. Now I'm looking for guidebooks to help me plan my own hike on this trail. Found maps on Outdoor Active and Komoot, but no guidebook yet. Any recommendations? Thx, really enjoy your content!

[@NotSeriousAlena]

I'm really hoping to hike this trail next year🤩

[@jonesv]

Heerlijke video! Deze komt bij op de bucketlist!

[@dgmstuart]

I wonder if the guys warning about it being super physically demanding were the kind of Scandinavian hiker who go out with 70l or 90l rucksacks and no poles (because at least here in Sweden, poles seem to be associated with Nordic walking which is something only old people do, so there’s a stigma)

[@dearnature9173]

thank you so much for this beautiful video! I just discovered you today and have already watched a lot of your videos. you seem so much fun and id like to go on a hike with you haha. im actually thinking about going on my fist ever alone hike as a women (26yo) and am still a little scared. But thanks to you i might really do it ! :D thank you. And by the way, your voice is incredible!

[@morganemarcille3377]

I was wandering how you managed to get food supplies during the trek ? Does anyone has the answer ? Thanks a lot for sharing your incredible experience with such honesty

I made it on the TMB and finished it this summer because of you!! Dont go giving me any new idea nowww 😂 missed your hiking vid! beautiful vid as always

This was an enjoyable watch, well done! :) This is an incredibly long hike, and in august there's so much mosquitoes that drives you crazy everywhere. Props to you for keeping a high spirit on such a long hike despite the changing weather and all the mosquitoes. Great video, audio and musical work too:P I hope there will be more videos from Norway! Maybe you will visit Rondane, Rago or some other national parks in the future :)

[@murielurquidi]

What a beautiful video! It makes me want to hike, even with the mental rollercoaster that it seems to be and physical demands that it seems to ask. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. To many more adventures and hikes! Go Floor, Go! You inspirational person, you!

This is a perfect hike for anyone who would like to go back to Winter in August 😛.

[@whengrapespop5728]

Winter? That just indicates that you haven’t experienced winter in Norway. We’re talking 0-2 hours sunlight a day, crystallized forests and freezing temperatures. 0+°C is no winter.
