Hiking 400+ Miles Across Iceland 1 - Survival Mode

Hiking 400+ Miles Across Iceland 1 - Survival Mode
In July of 2021, my good friend Cheesebeard and I set off on our traverse of Iceland, from the North-West corner of Iceland hiking on foot all the way down to the South coast. This is video one in my hiking vlog from the trip. I hope you enjoy the journey.

Just stumbled across this…definitely watching the whole series! Cheers!

[@nalonabrato8900]

It’s such an otherworldly place so see. I’m thrilled for you both and for myself since I get to follow along (albeit in a much more comfortable environment).

[@chrispiatt2235]

This video totally reminds me of watching videos that I've watched when watching videos. Seriously though, good stuff. What a beautiful and unique place.

[@silentshuttrcom]

Very nice man!! Love it!

[@ervinslens]

What a spectacular views. Its always so rewarding to work hard for these and then enjoy them. Editing here is beautiful bud especially b-roll shots.

[@jaredsthomas]

Yo, Paul! Love the quality on this video. Very cinematic. Iceland has always been on my list. One day, perhaps. Hope you get that hand taken care of. Looking forward to the rest of this series. Good luck out there! BOOM.

[@juliet9418]

Wonderful to watch. Thank you for sharing! Unbelievably beautiful .

[@AndrewWisler]

Awesome, takes me back to when I hiked the Laugavegur about 6 years ago. Very different trail, extremely overpopulated, but some of the most epic, most alien scenery I’ve ever witnessed. Also some of the worst weather I’ve hiked in, you’re right, it’s a whole new kind of wet, with horizontal rain and gale force winds for added fun, punctuated by some of the most wonderful light shows you could ever see. I spent one of the worst nights in a tent ever there, not sure how my Tarptent survived, and woke up with every single thing I owned covered in black ash. Wouldn’t have traded it for anything!

[@TylerCampbellOutdoors]

Really enjoyed the video. Unbelievable scenery. Iceland is on my backpacking bucket list, but not the length of trip that you guys did. Looking forward to the next episode

[@elkekieweg9602]

You guys are crazy!!! Looking forward to your next video... Amazing pictures and great camera perspectives! Thank you for sharing!

[@UlmusMinor]

This is awesome man, been looking forward to watching these. Can't wait for the next installment!

[@takinghomethetrail9158]

This footage really reminds me of when I went to Alaska. Iceland has now been added to my list!

[@bewhiskeredjuarez6851]

New video woot woot!😁👍🔥🙌🙌🙌 Thank you.

[@davidbock1801]

Fantastic content. Great job, man.

[@AndyMcCavish]

That looks some real Type 2 fun! Thanks for showing so much of the grind

[@CaptainCamp]

Crayzee adventure, thanks for sharing! 😎

[@kanebebbington3399]

This is epic!

[@KevinVestbeardsworld]

Great video from my favorite English hiker!

[@bjclark4936]

Just wow!

[@rolandmd73]

Awesome adventure… Iceland is so beautiful. Did you walk an exciting trail or made your own trail. Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@freeman.walking]

Cool,

[@suvi6281]

Great video, the views are just amazing! But I'm not jealous about being cold and wet 😆

[@rebeccaedwards8262]

This video is amazing. I'm glad you guys followed your hearts. I would love to hear a dubbed version of this video to find out if you did everything right or if you could go back and do it again what you would do.

[@dietergraser3640]

I am really excited to watch your video of your trip! Well - another UL-enthusiast speeding through Iceland :-) - let's see how it goes!

[@dietergraser3640]

@@pieonthetrail yes I liked it! Made the same trip around Hornstrandir some years ago - muuuch slower but partially experienced the same miserable weather conditions (they are quite normal up there!) but also bright sun at the Horn :-)

[@andyveres3982]

Yeah boyyyyyy

[@levb.7338]

Been to Hornstrandir twice. Both times got lucky with the weather at the Horn. I've crossed all of the places you crossed in this video :). There's no way you could have crossed the "high tide" area at high tide at #13.40, that would have been suicide. The "town" with the hot springs isn't really a town

[@levb.7338]

@@pieonthetrail The horn is a bit overrated, IMHO. Right across the horn (west), is another, more dramatic, but less-known "horn", called Haelavikurbjarg. It's a more difficult hike, but more solitude. You won't meet anyone there (at the horn in your video, you most likely would)

[@RoadToFreedom29]

Hi buddy awesome video! Can I ask what trail you walked?

[@RoadToFreedom29]

@@pieonthetrail nice one buddy would love it if you ever fancied sharing this route l?

[@hackman8909]

I wonder how you arranged the food deposits? I contacted a lot of people asking for this service but it was either not possible (anymore), or crazy expensive, or the huts said they were not able or willing to give up storage space. In the end, it was a dealbreaker for my planned trip North-South.

[@pieonthetrail]

We didn't have a lot of problems, we mainly bought food at gas stations along the way and sent I think two food packages to huts

[@TaylorVanBeek]

Dude another awesome video! I just got more into hiking myself! Me and my pup travel out of my overland camping setup I built on my f350. YOu'll have to check it out on my channel! Keep up with the awesome content man!

Lost interest thanks to ridiculously long advert :(
