A challenging and inspiring journey

[@NicholasEager]

Thanks so much for watching! It was definitely a challenging and inspiring journey. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kylepang5547]

Another brilliant videologue on nature! To quote Hemingway, each locale that you’d visited is “a movable feast,” as it stays with you for the rest of your life, wherever you venture next.

[@NicholasEager]

Thanks so much for the kind words Kyle! Nature does have a way of leaving a lasting impression on us.

[@single-handed3673]

What an adventure. The interesting sights, sounds, paths, bridges, ladders, board walks & Hand tram. Tsusiat Falls was very nice. The whole trail was incredible Thank wifey and yourself for the recipes.

[@NicholasEager]

Thanks for joining us on this wild adventure! So glad you enjoyed the sights, sounds, and Tsusiat Falls!

[@drkskyes]

So much love between you and your wife. It is so easy to see. You're fortunate to have someone to share things with.

[@ervinslens]

What a opening, that fall could have been dangerous! Stay safe my friend, your content is so unique! Love it

[@NicholasEager]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, that fall was a close one, but all part of the adventure! Stay tuned for more!

[@megelato3269]

[@NicholasEager]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the amazing animals we encountered. Happy hiking!

[@ashby4211]

Beautiful wilderness scenery like nothing we see over here in the UK except maybe in parts of Scotland. I guess the bears, cougars and other wild animals use those trails too, how scary to meet one on a bridge or a ladder. I know you do silent videos to let nature take centre stage but its good to see those little interactions with the camera now and then. Thanks for taking the risks to bring us these fabulous videos.

[@NicholasEager]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. The West Coast Trail is indeed a breathtaking and wild place to explore. Meeting wild animals on the trail can be a bit nerve-wracking, but it's also part of the exhilaration of hiking in such pristine natural surroundings. Thanks for your support 🙂

[@relaxingsilentfilms-LosAngeles]

very nice.. I follow Harmen and Kraig and I'm adding you to our rotation of nature videos. great work!

[@NicholasEager]

[@MichaelLoda]

Heeyy new video! Interesting location, I haven't seen much of it, but looks amazing so far

[@NicholasEager]

Thanks for watching! The West Coast Trail is definitely a stunning place to explore. Glad you enjoyed it so far!

[@MichaelLoda]

@@NicholasEager Yeah it looks beautiful, almost like Norway but with more jungle

[@NicholasEager]

Glad you liked it! Yeah, the West Coast Trail is like a mix of Norway and the Amazon 😆

[@lysan1445]

What a challenging but also rewarding and enchantingly beautiful trail! Brilliant camera work, too!

[@NicholasEager]

Thanks so much! It was definitely a challenging adventure, but the stunning views made it all worth it.

[@Pancake-forever]

The best video about West Coast trail ever. Thank you for all your hard work 😊

[@NicholasEager]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and appreciating the hard work. Happy trails! 🏞️

[@Pancake-forever]

This video is amazing! The scenery is so stunning, I almost forgot I was watching from my couch with a bag of chips. Your cinematography is top-notch-if I ever hike the West Coast Trail, it’ll be because you made it look way easier than it probably is. Thanks for the virtual workout!

[@NicholasEager]

Thanks so much for the love! Glad I could inspire some virtual outdoor adventure with my film. Cheers!

[@drkskyes]

That piece of machinery at 1:00:54 is a steam donkey. It was used to yard logs in the woods. It was filled with cables that would pull the logs together to where they could be loaded on a train and taken away. And I think the bridge at 1:01:07 is a narrow gage railroad bridge with the rails removed. Very cool.

[@NicholasEager]

Wow, thanks for the cool historical insight! Always neat to learn about the history of the places I visit. Keep exploring!

[@kathycagg6531]

That was quite the incredible adventure! Your videography and editing captured it beautifully. I enjoyed it so much. Thank you!

[@NicholasEager]

Hey, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the adventure. Stay tuned for more!

I have watched most of your videos and that one was the craziest yet - all those ladders, mud, bridges and wonderful coast - I didn’t even know there was a trail on the west coast of Vancouver Island

СПАСИБО ЗА ВИДЕО. ДЛЯ ВАС ОТРЫВОК ИЗ СТИХОТВОРЕНИЯ: Жизнь в горах, одинокая смерть, Там восходят стихии, ветры и грозы, В Тибете так низко, спадают реки, А в лицах жителей, вечный покой, Вершины гор розовеют, в закатах, Спадают лучами вниз, лаская ущелье, Без воздуха мир, дышит тишиной, Больших высот, мне не достичь, На красном взгорье, полеты птиц, Внизу долины, устланы травой, Подходит вечер, день сгорел, уходит.....

[@NicholasEager]

Thank you for the beautiful poem! Your words capture the essence of mountain solitude and natural beauty perfectly.

Waiting for you 😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅

Thanks for patiently waiting! New unforgettable hiking adventures are on the way. Stay tuned for more epic journeys!
