[@butwhatsoutthere]

Wow richtig schön mal diese sagenhafte Insel aus deiner Perspektive zu sehen! Und starke Musikauswahl! Freue mich auf mehr videos

[@philhamann420]

Freut mich, dass es gefallen hat! Danke & ebenso😜

Hello Phil, I'm from Corsica, I made the GR20 couple of times and I have to say this is the very best GR20 I ever seen .. I enjoyed it a lot !!! I was also walking on the trail on October 2023 but we didnt meet !! Would have been a great inspiration for me because i'm really a big fan of what you do, going abroad , hike like you do. Really great man ! wish you the best

[@philhamann420]

Hey! Glad you liked it :) thanks for the nice words! Maybe see you on the next trail haha. Hope you enjoyed your GR20 that time as well. And going abroad to hike is probably the cheapest holiday you can do😄

Mega Video und tolle Worte zum mindset beim Wandern

Danke Marv :)

[@CaryMercer]

Congratulations on completing this challenging hike! Nice video. I also think October is one of the best months to go and walk this trail.

[@philhamann420]

Thanks! I actually watched your video on the GR20 before doing it myself😄 All the best to you :)

[@CaryMercer]

Oh, how cool. Thank you. Same to you.

[@sali1608]

Bist du alles in Barfußschuhen gelaufen? Wenn ja: Mich würden deine Erfahrungen interessieren. :-) Tolle Bilder!

[@philhamann420]

Hey Sali, schön dass es dir gefallen hat. Ich trage tatsächlich ausschließlich Barfußschuhe, demnach auch auf allen Wanderungen :) Vorteile: Weniger Verletzungs-(umknick-)Risiko, mehr Sinneswahrnehmungen, was den Untergrund angeht (einzelne Steine etc, sowie der Unterschied zwischen Wiese/Schotter... werden deutlich bemerkt. Dadurch wird der Fuß ebenfalls mehr durchblutet (und hat Platz dafür), was zu weniger erschöpften Füßen am Ende des Tages führt. Ausserdem fühlt sich ein leichter, an den Fuß angepasster Schuh wesentlich freier an finde ich. Und als letztes baut sich deine Muskulatur, welche du zum "normalen" laufen benötigst wieder auf, was dich stabiler macht. Das sollte man jedoch langsam in Angriff nehmen, bevor direkt eine große Wanderung unternommen wird :) LG

[@hiker_heather]

Incredible video!!! May i ask which GPS you used which showed wild camping spots etc? Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@philhamann420]

Hey Heather, glad you enjoyed it! :) Yea, it’s an app called GR20. You’ll find wild camping spots, water sources.. If you have any other questions, let me know. I’m about to film a guide video 😄👍

[@magiclife.academy]

Yeaaaah, DANKE DANKE DANKE für dieses tolle Video! Ich bin ja zur selben Zeit den Trail gegangen und somit ist es a mega Erinnerung auch für mich (Lisa) :-)

[@philhamann420]

Yeah, schön dass es dir gefallen hat! Hoffe du konntest einiges wieder erkennen :D Alles Gute dir! :)

schönes Video 🌞

[@philhamann420]

Danke :)

[@NomadicGrooves]

Amazing video Phil! I'm considering some multi-day hikes this summer. I've never done a solo multi-day hike, so this will be quite the adventure. Can you make a video about how you started doing this and where someone new should start? I live in Germany (moved recently), so a European perspective is helpful.

[@philhamann420]

Thank you! Glad you liked it :) I don't know if I'll be able to make a video in the next weeks but there will be a video about that sooner or later. In my opinion the most helpful skill is to accept every situation radically. This gives you peace of mind in any situation. But it's something people train for a long time (meditation...). Also hiking solo will develop this skill. Of course basic info like needed gear or known tips & tricks should be part of your prep :) The Scandinavian countries are perfect for your first solo multi day trips :)

[@NomadicGrooves]

@@philhamann420 Thank you! I will hopefully make that hike. I look forward to your videos. Happy hiking :)

[@philhamann420]

@@NomadicGrooves I believe in you :D Same to you :)

Hey Phil, super schönes Video über den GR20! Ich plane grade auch meinen Trip für dieses Jahr und bin über etwas gestolpert: an Tag 7 warst du restocken und sagst du kommst grade irgendwoher, wo warst du da und bist du mit dem Zug dorthin? Ich mache mir etwas Sorgen wegen der Verpflegung, weil ich keine 20-30€ jeden Tag fürs Abendessen ausgeben möchte :)

[@philhamann420]

Hey Lör, schön dass es dir gefallen hat! Der Ort heist Corte und ist gut von Vizzavona (quasi die Mitte der Wanderung) mit dem Zug zu erreichen. Auch nicht allzu teuer, wenn ich mich recht erinnere :D Ganz viel Spaß dir bei deinem Trip! :)

[@philhamann420]

Mir fiel eben ein, dass in Vizzavona selbst auch ein kleiner shop mit allem essenziellen ist. Vllt reicht dir der schon, dann musst du nicht nach Corte. Ich brauchte nur Medis und ne neue SD Karte :D

[@einfach_rausfahren]

Hi. Mega nices Video, die Stimmung von „dem leeren“ GR20 kommt super rüber. Woher wusstest du denn, wann und wo wildcamping Spots kommen? Liebe Grüße

[@philhamann420]

Hey! :) Freut mich sehr, das war das Ziel 😀 Ich hab eine App Namens GR20 (Appstore) gekauft. Da waren alle Wildcamp-Spots eingetragen. Liebe Grüße

[@OkiemAarona]

Nice

Thanks :D

[@michaeljgeary587]

Really nice video 👏 planning on doing the GR20 in September. How many hours a day did you do? And kinda curious about how heavy the backpack was? 🙏👏👏

[@philhamann420]

Thanks Michael! Glad you enjoyed the video :) The amount of hours I hiked are shown in the bottom left corner on the beginning of each day (just skip to the beginning of each chapter :) ). I'd say I'm a pretty fast hiker but had todo a lot 3 times because of the filming. The backpack weight was around 18kg at the beginning (food for 7 days, filming equipment, gas, tent..) Have fun on your hike!👍 If you've got any more questions feel free to reach out :)

[@user-sl8om4je2r]

Ha Phil, nice video! I gone hike the gr20 oktober2024😊, from south to north. Do you know if there are next to Vizzevona/Corte any other resupply options whitin a daytime walk from the trail? I want to trie stay lightweight😊. Happy to hear from you. Hans from the Netherlands

[@philhamann420]

Hey Hans, nice to hear that you liked it :) And also nice to hear that you will be doing the track as well! Staying lightweight is definitely a good thing on this trail haha. Unfortunately I don't know of any other place to restock food.. hope you can find something :) And all the best for your trip!

[@hevi3787]

Great video! Im doing this hike with a friend this september. Could you maybe give me some helpful tips and must knows for us?:D would also be amazing if you ciuld just make a video about it!:)

[@philhamann420]

Hey Hevi, glad you enjoyed it! :) It seems like more people are interested in a "advice" video :D. I do have some other projects (In 2 weeks I will be filming in the arctic for a bit & a video about Vanuatu needs to be cut), but I guess I will first work on a advice video on the GR20 after the arctic trip. Should be coming out at the end of march/beginning of April :) Have a great day, Phil

[@hevi3787]

That sounds amazing! Looking forward to all of it:) Thanks!
