Hiking 100 Miles Alone in Alaska

[@kraigadams]

Special thanks to Jon for flying me up to Alaska, all around the area and hosting me. Check out his KZbin Channel - kzbin.info/door/CWbc38ZLnbvdFiFJKDawCQ

[@miamimiami7415]

Obviously Kraig is lying when he says he hiked 100 miles by himself in Alaska. Who's taking these aerial shots of him in the beginning, eh? Didn't think of that, did you? Obviously Kraig has his pet bird accompanying him to take all these different camera angles. Fact-check: FALSE. Myth busted.

[@NickAndCaroline]

@@miamimiami7415 omg calm down lol. Check the link in the description for his route. It’s right next to a major city where he probably flew in and there’s lodging on the route. The path is very well kept. It’s not really that far fetched that he did this lol.

Hy Kraig We are very impressed about you and your trips and your videos. Special about your american langue. May I ask where in the states you come from ? You set fire on us to plan the GRAND TETON LOOP in 2022. But may be with some more time. Kindly regards from Norway Michael

[@momohead35]

@kraig adams you should add this to this videos description too

[@bongieger7871]

Guys (and Kraig) when crossing a river like at 16:49 please remember the two main rules: 1: don't cross perpendicular to the flow direction, face upstream and either walk sideways facing the flow or walk at a somewhat diagonal line 2: ALWAYS open the buckles on your hip and chest belt, NEVER cross with the buckles closed. If you fall the bag will drag you down or get tangled in the rocks, you will not be able to get out of it quickly. If you fall with your bag closed you are at a high risk of drowning. Also, have a lighter in a zip-lock bag on your person so if you lose your pack you can still light a fire.

[@soccerplayer2277]

not arguing, just a question, i understand the diagonal line but don't understand the walk sideways facing the flow. What is the logic, wouldn't this make you more prone to losing your balance and falling backwards?

[@bongieger7871]

@@soccerplayer2277 i assume that you can hold your balance easier cause you can lean against the flow. I personally use the diagonal line but many agencies recommend the sideways method.

[@soccerplayer2277]

@@bongieger7871 I see, thanks that makes sense. I guess you would want to lean forward a lot. I'd be very afraid to fall backwards so I think I'll stick to the diagonal.

[@Alex-ti5xq]

Hey Kraig! After being inspired by your trekking videos, I flew over to Iceland to do a solo 3day trek at the age of 17. I had no idea how to set up a tent, but I managed to pull it off. I was born and raised in a bustling city, so I thought being in the wild was not going to suit me. I was wrong. I absolutely get why you are doing this. I found pure happiness by venturing the unknown. I am working my butt off to pay for my trip to Everest Base Camp after high school graduation. Thanks for the inspiration. I finally found meaning in my life. The novelty of discovering.

[@galopolo1114]

Hey Alex! I'm also planning on doing some solo hiking in Iceland. Which route did you do? Is it allowed to sleep wherever you want with your tent? How was the experience? Any tips and information would be really helpful, thanks!!

[@Alex-ti5xq]

@Alexander NANCARROW Hey Alex from Australia! Being out with family is definitely wonderful, but there's this magic of being alone in the middle of nowhere that just can't be explained in words:) My dream is to travel the world visiting awesome mountains (I have also done Camino Frances 800Km in solo. Well, this is more like a flat trail). Keep me updated on your journey Alexander. Who knows, we might end up on the same mountain. Cheers!

[@Alex-ti5xq]

@@galopolo1114 Hey Galo! You are making the best choice by choosing Iceland. I did the Laugavegur hike 55Km. Depending on how long you are planning you can add one or two days to Laugavegur hike by continuing to Fimmvorduhals trail. I really wish I could have done both. The experience is life-changing I must say. It's tough, no doubt, but you are always surrounded by these mesmerizing views that will just push you to take another step. The rest is for you to figure it out! I don't want to spoil the surprise. You are not allowed to wild camp in Iceland. However, every 15km or so, you will find a campsite. (If you want my itinerary, I am glad to send it to you. Let me know.)

I always have huge respect for people who go hiking or do survival tours alone, its just way different

[@svenmc9748]

I'd agree. Nature hits different when you're alone.

I’m leaving Alaska after a 2 week vacation. This was my second time going, and I’m sure that I’ll be back 2 more times. Ive always been drawn towards the mountains, but Alaska is something else. It’s very cliche but it’s easily the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to.

[@meme5478]

Thank you for allowing me to explore nature through you. It was peaceful!

[@shegoesnorth9143]

Wow, thank you for sharing your trip with us! I just watched this in my room in Berlin in complete darkness, dreaming myself away to this far away place. Your videos remind me that I feel most like I belong in these kinds of wild places - and to keep seeking them out. There was such a heavenly atmosphere to the parts where the trail was flooded, all that water pouring over, it inspired me. I write music about these kind of experiences, made me feel like a song is coming on. :)

[@johnfernandogarcesdaza4647]

Man, another perfect video. Thank you! When possible, try one in the Highlands, in Scotland ;)

[@MegaJohnyBravo]

So amazing. Very beautiful and inspiring. Thank you

This is the quarantine content I like to see

[@alexdjam6398]

hands down, one of the best vids I have ever watched relative to backpacking, good job man you killed this!!! So relaxing and peaceful to watch, never seen anything similar.

[@lifeofaking8467]

Absolutely breathtaking

[@MILKOMEDA138]

Non dialogue, non effect, non bgm... just ambience and you alone!!! Amazing !!

[@stevensonnelson4477]

Beautiful.. My 20.58 minutes spent well😊 BTW am I the only one imagine that follow him from behind and record him throughout this hiking 😅

[@yensheenmusic3511]

I love watching your videos .,, makes me feel like im out there too😊

[@Jinouga502]

This would be cool to do, except im not trying to 1v1 a wild bear.

[@slappp6163]

that's why I hike with a snubby .357 and spray

[@midwaymonster30]

I feel the same way, but even 2 v bear....or 3 v bear... or more.... never good odds. Brown bear are absolute killing machine monsters.

[@joejenkity1704]

midwaymonster30 heck yeah especially Alaskan brown bears. Much larger.

[@tobiasfremuth1599]

You changed my life with this video. This made me decide that this is what i want in life. This is where i want to live.

17:06 I can't imagine this guy crossing the river back to retrieve his camera.

[@lordpappanqui]

He left the camera there, on the other side.... for upcoming tourists.,,, ;)

[@bendover-bz4bc]

He uses his drone to get his camera back.

[@MrMetalHead1100]

The guy at 6:55 is probably traveling with him

[@koenntebessernichtsein]

Absolutely beautiful! After many hikes in Scandinavia, I definitely have to discover Alaska. I hope the bears don't like germans.

[@ShriKaav]

i love the minecraft-esq soundtrack! i usually listen to c418 when i climb mountains

[@msliwins]

That music in the first full minute of this video is heaven. Kudos to you Kraig for creating your masterpieces vs. working 9 to 5. You my friend.... are an inspiration to us all and we Thank You for that !!!!

[@SatireDaily]

My brother lives outside Talkeetna on the edge of Denali. I need to get back up to Alaska

[@nickreynolds8391]

Must be so incredible to be able to see Denali from where one lives. I can't even imagine.

[@kyunglee1924]

great town, I could retire there

[@SatireDaily]

@3,14 _ the only bear he will ever kill is a winter bear

[@arongroen6655]

How is this so well made. Wow. I enjoyed it from moment one

[@shariabdul]

I always wait for the nod of approval when he tries a meal

[@bencross3018]

The most peaceful vid I've seen on KZbin. Would really like to do something like this some day
