Our Most EPIC Hike yet! The Cunha Cunha Pass

Today we are hiking the historic Maroon trail, the Cunha Cunha Pass! Named after a mountain in Nigeria, this incredible trail takes us from Hayfield, St Thomas Parish through the John Crow and Blue Mountains to Millbank in Portland Parish. It's been many many years since Mokko guided anyone, but today Ratty & I are lucky to have him showing us the way. We learn about local animals & plants, find some renta yam, try some black wiss water Rambo style, see some insanely weird looking stinkhorn mushrooms, drink from multiple crystal clear spring waterfalls, and get completely soaked by rain! Less then 5 hours later, we made it to the other side to tell the tale ;)
If you want to hike the trail please contact / hayfieldhiking
bless up,

Daaaaaamn, look how big Ratty is now! Man!!

[@Theleaningcan3]

Its making me feel old 😂

[@JackBrilla]

It's pretty cool watching that kid grow.

[@johnnybuk5136]

Ratty could play D1 football he is a grown man at such a young age

[@cosmicwisdom999]

I was thinking the same

[@seanf9067]

I was just about to say he's getting tall as hell!! 😳

[@controlledkhaos5709]

Im sure Mokko is at least 70. Doing a 5 hr hike... Impressive Take notes youngins

Yes! The whole time I watched this I kept thinking how in shape Mokko is to hike for so long and still want to stop to gather trees and leaves. Definitely an inspiration to live more healthy and stay active.

[@delaandpatricethedogbatsef2089]

Mokko is the best grandfather. Look how much he has taught Ratty. He knows everything about nature and history and farming and now Ratty does at a young age.

[@RegulareoldNorseBoy]

Mokko is amazingly strong and agile for his age. That is truly a miracle

[@koffi3415]

No fast food, junk, and natural food, if he were in the states he probably in a nursing home on multiple medication , what a price to pay for money and materialism.

Epic adventure! I appreciate you taking time with the fungus! As a mushroom enthusiast from Sweden I find it fascinating seeing what the funga is like in an enviroment very different from what I am used to. The red blobs you found at 19:00 aren't fungi though. To me they look like a parasitic plant, probably in the genus Balanophora, or at least in the family Balanophoraceae.

[@RasKitchen]

Definitely an epic adventure. I agree, it's interesting to see how the fungi vary in different climates. Happy to hear you enjoyed the content. Bless up 🙌
