gdt ep. 6 - making my own ending [2017]

[@AgnieszkaZebraDziadek]

Great hike. And nothing like a roadwalk to finish off. I loved the flowers, getting in between them.

[@tmmg66]

You have been on some incredible trails. Thanks for the videos.

[@freedom_farmer]

I've been on a Neil young listening and John Z KZbin binge lately so I was stoked to hear that you listening to Neil at the end there. Thanks for the inspirational videos John. It keeps me sane when I'm not hiking in the mountains myself.

[@Grisly11]

I have never seen mountains as pretty as these, I definitely have to visit the Canadian Rockies soon.

[@stnegritude]

I really loved watching your whole journey. What a gorgeous splendor, meadows, mountains and all! Best to all journeys forward. Come explore Vermont!

[@janosaldroun6560]

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences in these places.

[@karihajduk9776]

nooooooo i never wanted this hike to end!!

[@frankieamelie947]

your filming skills are seriously epic !!! And also these mountains / this trail looks just UNREAL!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@scampie3824]

I've been watching your videos for a while now, and must say they are by far better than anyone else's. Few things that stand out compared to others... ---to many other people focus constantly on milage. ---whether its been a good or bad day, I love that you don't complain like so many others ---background tunes fit perfectly Keep up the good work ZohnZ.

[@paulshowers1200]

Your videos Kick Ass! Great cinema, production, philosophy, hiking, nature. Wow.

[@GoodBoy-ge3de]

So beautiful I could cry

[@CoteziHikes]

#HotSexyMtnsoftheGDT also the flower close-ups are my favorite

[@sshattuck311]

Yeah Mt. Robson! Really loved that area. Great editing again meng

[@wmbiisurgeon9087]

Great series. Thanks for the work to make the videos.

[@sindyseal5411]

So dang good dude! Thanks for the inspiration. I’ll be watching this series again....and again! Love it!!

[@max-zl1vm]

Your reflections are my favorite parts

[@Larry3043]

The views are beautiful and amazing...wow. Gorgeous place man, just gorgeous.

[@bcal5962]

Your videos are absolutely amazing. THANK YOU! My only complaint is that they are not longer - haha wish each of your 8 GDT videos was 3x longer! Congratulations on this amazing achievement!

[@frankynodots]

Excellent series.

[@aerialadventure7907]

Who the F gives theses videos a thumbs down?!? That’s crazy! You rock guy! Keep on keeping on!

[@bikinmike3274]

Awesome videos! Thank you for your time and effort!

[@erikao2876]

Beautiful mountains!

[@tony_r_pierce]

Nice series, thanks for sharing.

[@llotglen]

Like your videos. Great scenery shots, awesome edits and good music.

[@greygardens81]

Such a great series of videos. Thanks for sharing

[@MrZimmaframe]

Great video, really makes me want to get out the and start walking a trail

[@carolinecardullo6463]

great stuff........bring on the next one!!!

[@TheEvandando]

You sir are awesome

[@tedgreene9914]

Great vids, thanks for taking the time to produce them!

[@kribomon]

Just came across your channel through Darwin's and I absolutely love your videography, edit and narrative. Keep up the good work.

[@menemai]

Hey JZ, absolutely love your videos, the cinematography and score are leagues better than anything being produced on KZbin right now. Only thing I'd recommend (if it isn't too heavy or bulky to carry) would be a gimbal to smooth out the handheld walking shots. Love your stuff, love you too man, keep on being awesome.

[@martymclea2792]

Well, what is next? Hot springs trail? Idaho centennial?

[@0zthehikingsailor]

Nice video and thanks fir visiting our western mountains. If you bored, my video series (under my name) on the 35 day, 650 day IAT Quebec hike (for you maybe 21 days) is now on day 11 and I am approaching the Chic Chic Mountains. These are the same mountain chain as Katahdin. Just an idea for you when you need a new trail to follow.

[@_bearno]

Man, hope you are doing well. Was great meeting you in Jasper.

[@KorDawg91]

Amazing as always!

[@gpk7683]

Yep. Where to next?

[@hikingthemountains7062]

Good luck with your ultralight packs! They look solid.

[@kevincampbell8773]

Awesome Video John!

[@ilonaanoli1593]

Hallo John, now I understand why I follow you and other hikers. There is not a single house, street ......... on that clip. Nature a it was 10.000 years ago. Many millions of years ago. Great.

[@CalvinWeibel]

Love this!

[@Fryde_Drexler]

so rad, man.

[@austinshields8627]

Those flowers! @_@

[@isaacmacers]

Hey I noticed you switched from your foam pad to a neoair just curious why and how you add structure to your pack without the foam pad thanks

[@francismccormack2877]

You are my idol

[@david_wiese]

What's next? Thanks for the vids

[@sindyseal5411]

3rd time watching this trip. Love the GDT! Amazing footage. Please lmk the Rumtum song you used on the last video. It’s not on the link & I must own it! You’re the best. Can’t wait for the next ones!

[@MinecraftMike]

This weatherman is very sad you didn't record it hailing. Also, what is next? The Florida Trail? Thru-hiking season is just starting here in Florida. Enjoyed the videos as always!

[@hunorkovacs5950]

Are you interested in climbing any 6000+m mountains or hiking abroad?

[@DonDon-oh9ei]

You hitchhiked back? I live in Alberta myself and am super excited to attempt this trail with my girlfriend this coming July. If you ever do this trail again contact me and I will drive you back to wherever you need. No reason to hitchhike! Thank you for this wonderful series. You have definitely gained my following. Best of wishes, -Donny

[@margaretcox4290]

I want to be like you when I grow up

[@doughus4287]

Hey man, thanks

[@paulhalliwell408]

I hope you introduced yourself as John Z(ed) while here in Canada!

[@samuelhokonson9069]

goat

[@jaydendyck7327]

Having hiked in bc before I know that usually the trails aren't marked as well as what I see in the states but you rarely seem to be on a defined trail here. Are ypu just going off trail a lot or is this trail really not well defined at all?

[@grapenut709]

Another nice video

[@CarlosBenjamin]

I could see the mosquitos while you were talking about them..... they wanted some camera time. Big hams I guess.

[@RichardBuckerCodes]

those were not mosquitoes... they were MOSQUITOES

[@60westpro]

do you think you could do this trail in September when the bugs would be way less-- or would it be too rainy -? Great series thanks again !!

[@zm5215]

Obviously I'm not John, but being from the area, if you are talking about maybe finishing by like mid-September that would probably work, but any later and there is a good chance you're dealing with snow and freezing temps.

[@madisonwallace1561]

How many parts of the trail are overgrown/missing. And how hard was it to keep track of where you were?

[@carternewcomb2764]

John when are you going to start ultra running(notice when not if)? How many times have you been mistaken as a homeless person?

[@loubob73]

Is that Neil Young playing in the background? 😉

[@gusparaguss]

Hey John, is there a specific reason you use 30fps instead of 24fps, like most youtubers/vloggers? I personally prefer what you're doing myself.

[@sintwister2912]

Think, you are the person I want to be.

[@juliecase624]

Really enjoyed the series John. Seems so serene, but I'm sure there were moments. What did you do when the thunderstorm hit while you were in the meadow?

[@larryguy8606]

Walk faster??????

[@juliecase624]

Larry Guy haha😄

[@DanStenziano]

reasons for camera choice over say, Sony a6000? btw this is amazing, love your gdt series

[@liamwhite5529]

I’ve noticed those high shorts are your go-to hiking attire, any issues with ticks?

[@bretthikez6567]

I heard the end is a pain..a fellow i follow on IG did it..looked like a little too much extra roadwalking..

[@austinshields8627]

GDT FKT?

[@uloutdoors]

An fkt on a "route" or a trail where there is not really one defined trail does not make sense. This is the reason why there is also no fkt on the CDT and other places.

[@austinshields8627]

If it has a start and a finish you can do a FKT

[@uloutdoors]

haha yes.... right on man ;)

[@8ievaieva8]

I hit thumbs up for the video but I really wanted to thumbs it down because it's the end.... Your videos are addicting man
