Love this. Please do more you tube long form if you can.

[@orifine4431]

Yes!

[@irenalawlor1935]

Totally agree I have arthritis in my flicking up finger 😂(from constantly using a Dyson hoover for work) love these videos be great for more longer ones but I think if I’m not wrong I heard them say in a recent short video they work full time while doing these amazing adventures?

[@FreerunTMac]

I'm impressed with how consistent your attitude was the whole trail! Takes embracing the brutality to a whole new level.

[@Collinburns95]

I’m sure there is convenient editing of happy videography between the absurd crazy long miles lol

[@denisbelya3079]

@@Collinburns95 that's kinda why I hate these sorta videos, just seems fake. No wonder you get so many people starting and calling quits within the first 100 miles

[@AuRowe]

@@denisbelya3079 I'm with you, but the internet prefers fake positivity and these guys are so legit and wholesome still despite cutting out the inevitable shortcomings they experience. They really grew on me in the longer videos, despite nothing but showing the positives. We should just recognize it for the movie like editing it is but still appreciate what they do and how much they share with the world of their highs

[@lavender1604]

I’m sure what we don’t see is how hard all of that walking hiking can be mentally and physically, but following their dreams and doing something they enjoy I’m sure does bring a lot of happiness too. Better than going to some crap jobs every day.

[@jaytok7]

sure everything on social media is how it is in real life 👍👍🤦🏼‍♂🤦🏼‍♂🤷‍♂

[@danablack3378]

I can’t think of anything worse than hiking for 4 months but your videos and how cute your relationship is makes me so happy and you’ve become some of my favourite KZbinrs

[@aaronpylinski9082]

Truly inspirational. This is the best ten minutes on the internet.

[@mtadams2009]

You put down some serious miles. I hope you know how fortunate you both to have each other to do this with. When I was young I thought trips with friend would never end. Now in my 60s I only have my dog, which I am fortunate to have. None of my friends or family want anything to do with backpacking . That looked like a truly magical adventure. Take care

[@allisonpinkall577]

Omg imagining hiking all that way and finally reaching Canada together makes me wanna cry, that would be so rewarding! You guys are an inspiration

[@cristinaorozco1246]

THIS IS AMAZING i cannot wait to follow you through all of your adventures. I love the content you release, it is not just about your hikes, but you include content for things I would never imagine that are so creative. Also, I love how your posts are so positive. I love being to able to live this through you. With time, I am more and more inspired to take a long hike for a period of time, and I have def considered van life. I also appreciate how you guys emphasize the importance of staying present while seeking your goal.

[@orifine4431]
