I discovered your videos earlier this summer when we were planning a trip to the Black Hills and Badlands of South Dakota. I have been hooked on your channel every since! I just love following your adventures and am getting inspired to maybe try backpacking. I’ve always loved camping, but did it from a car. I’ve been nervous about backpacking, but your videos give me some confidence that I could do it….at least for a weekend.

[@lawrencewagner8685]

It's always a good day when you guys drop a new video,, a bright spot. Love your enthusiasm and honesty. Plus I always learn something new. Carry on, have fun!

We must have been there at a similar time as you two! We are also posting about our journey right now and it is so enjoyable to be going through that video footage. We will have to check out some of your other videos, but we encountered some phenomenal red chair placements during our time in Newfoundland. Whoever chooses those locations deserves a medal! Keep the adventures coming!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Nice! We were there the last week of August 2023! We LOVED Gros Morne! The chair placements were top notch!

[@BopjoWebDesign]

Do you guys ever have moments where you just look at each other in amazement and realize all the incredible places you've been? Because ya'll are truly living the dream! FYI, we went up to Castle Crags State Park here in NorCal and we hiked the Crags trail up to the dome. Truly spectacular! First, the forest itself was so beautiful and peaceful with those big California trees, and the pinnacles and rocks at the top were like a miniature Yosemite. I really loved that hike! Thanks for including it in your Redding video. Ever since I saw that I knew we had to do it and it was a very special place!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We do have those moments, but we honestly need to stop and appreciate it more often. Sometimes the grind gets to us, but we truly are very lucky and grateful! That is so awesome! That's a good description for it...mini Yosemite! That is still one of our favorite hikes. We're so glad y'all got to experience it! Hope y'all are still enjoying it out there!

[@bradgingerich6814]

Amazing vlog and man am I ever digging these hikes! Gros Morne National Park is nothing short of spectacular!!! Extra kudos to you for the ice cream! Give Kona a few extra hugs for me. You’re the best ever!

Really enjoying your Newfoundland adventure! I'm also enjoying the travels of your friends Jenn and Elliot. I found them when you all went on the 500 mile bike ride across Iowa. I have watched a few of their videos - in cluding the first time you guys got together for a few days on the boat - HOW MUCH FUN! Hope you guys can connect more often - really fun to watch. Bless you on your way. ❤

Wish I’d tried the ice cream, I spent an afternoon at the ( kinda yucky) laundromat across the street when we were there. The lighthouse you missed is stunning, but being cold and wet is not!

Welcome to Newfoundland (From the east coast NL)!!!

[@AngelaBrinker]

Beautiful! I was in Wichita last weekend and rewatched your Kansas video for ideas, I wanted to check out the Cowtown museum, but unfortunately, the only day we could have gone was Monday and they were closed. (But we also had to make our way back to St. Louis that day, so we didn't really have the time it deserved. We went on a short hike in an area park instead.)

[@traveleats6833]

We did a 'Rock to Rock tour' last year, Vancouver Island (our rock) to Newfoundland (the other rock). We spent well over a month on Newfoundland. We also spent a lot of time in Gros Morne, including the Tablelands and dinner in Trout River, Rocky Harbour, and all the way up the Viking Trail to L'anse aux Meadows/St. Anthonys for the ICEBERG festival. be sure to take at least a day to visit Labrador, it is everything you would expect but so so much more.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That's an awesome trip! I wish we could have visited Labrador, but didn't have time for it this time. Next trip!

This is one of our favourite hikes in NL. If you are into geology, the island of Newfoundland is thee best place to visit. How about touching some of the oldest fossils on the planet. They are just 10 minutes from Bonavista. Tons of free overnight spots on the island and locals will rarely complain. But more likely to stop for a long chat. If you are adventurous take the short ferry to Labrador and head west through Labrador and through Quebec.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Yes we read about and saw such diverse geology in NL! Bonavista was awesome and the camping was top notch! We wish we had time to visit Labrador. We definitely want to some time!

What is your filming and editing equipment? How you film all the great scenes with the 2 of you in it - tripod? Drone? Maybe one time you can let us know about this. - like a special to your travel videos! Very interested! Greetings from Germany! Update: I found your video about your equipment!

You didn't specifically mention it, but Moose were an introduced species to the island. That is why the park has the moose exclusion to highlight the effect they have. Since their introduction Moose have had a very large cultural influence on the island especially in the rural areas. nearly every family would supplement their diets with the annual moose hunt. I grew up on moose and did not regularly eat beef, with the exception of salt beef, until I went to college.

[@scottcarter6623]

Also growing up fresh lobster and cod from local fishermen, river caught Salmon, wild birds, and rabbits from snare lines. Also rarely caribou, but i did not grow up on the part of the island where caribou hunting was common.
