Grand Canyon Adventure: The 750-Mile Hike That Nearly Killed Us (Part 1) | Nat Geo Live

[@PatWarner]

I was 60 before I experienced the Canyon for the first time. It is incredibly difficult to put words to the feeling of standing there on the rim. Thank you for this opportunity to see it through your eyes.

This is the type of story I grew up watching ntional Geography with!!! stories of travel, amazing landscapes, animals.......Good job guys!!

[@shanefanon]

" Comically" is so appropriate a visual rendition of what happens. Good job guys. Glad your team survived the journey.

I just want to thank Kevin Fadarko and Pete McBride for this beautiful and fullfilling documentary. I have watched it (the 3 parts) on youtube several times now. Every time I watch it I feel like I'm listening to my favorite album. Just gives me so much! Thank you!!!

Finally subbing to this channel pays off. An actual video that is longer than 2 minutes.

After kayaking Grand Canyon, I now have your book based on the hike, I watched the film, I read The Emerald Mile. I think I'm obsessed.

[@annette4660]

I'm reading "A Walk in the Park" and just loving it. Had no idea these guys were both so good-looking!

[@annahasty7191]

I am so glad I stumbled across this. I am from Arizona originally. The Grand Canyon is an amazing place.

[@singingbird8540]

Anything that educate the public is welcome, thanks to your adventures

[@mythicalsoccerbeast5957]

Why does this barely have any views? This stuff is really important.

[@steveandjudithpiazza630]

Right? Confounding.

[@johnmarkcastro9563]

Just a note: I looked up the word "Grand" in Grand Canyon, and the word does not mean big or large. It means magnificent and imposing in appearance filled with awe and wonder which is what the Grand Canyon actually is. I've hiked it three times. A mere sniff compared to these guys' experience. Great presentation!

My son and I hiked rim to rim Oct 2021 and this was next level. You guys are AWESOME!

[@dhutton77]

This is a great companion to Kevin's really wonderful book. Read the book; then watch this.

[@RichardBuckerCodes]

wow this is awesome. thank you. the human spirit lives! And thank you to the team that rebooted your mission.

[@PatWarner]

[@the4trutter75]

[@raphaelpircher8619]

amazing

[@BillyBob-qh9fm]

i didn't know John Mellencamp was a backpacker

[@b.hagedash7973]

As a fan of the author Bill Bryson this all seems very familiar.

[@domenicomirante8057]

i had the pleasure of doing part of this journey in 2001 8 days and about 110 miles give or take where wonderful but grueling ps i did the easy part on the eastern side it really is quite an experience i hope this video inspires others to give it a shot at part of it

[@anatureperson5551]

Lesson: ask the professionals- those who have been there done that.

[@bicyclingaround8405]

I didn't see them filter water anywhere in the documentary. Iodine pills ? (Oh they definitely drank from puddles directly-why would a nat geo documentary show such a thing ?) Also did I see one of them wearing a bicycle helmet when rappelling ? Bike helmets are single crash helmets - not the same as climbing helmets. Also, they were hiking too close to the edge sometimes, I think for photo/video value. I would imagine people would hike farther away from the edge.

[@emilleyanderson1909]

hello bush 😳

[@lucyhogan8483]

This would be better without the tag team comedy act

[@annette4660]

I love the act! They're hilarious!

[@raphaelpircher8619]

mega

[@privacymatters5204]

Nice story but hard to listen to Kevin’s vocabulary. Megafauna? Ethos? Psychological matrix? Ugh. I just kept zoning out when he was speaking. 🙄

[@dana102083]

I zoned out reading your comment..

[@lamper2]

i'm in favor of modernizing access as much as possible!

[@Soontobefamous100]

lee shafer I’m in favor of not destroying more of untouched nature when there is so little left on this earth

[@zayshaanlatif7946]

I would easily have done that in 3.5/ 4 months
