Art is truly the overlooked MVP. Way to go!

[@yottskraper5704]

Now I see why Iceland 🇮🇸 is called the land of 🔥 fire and ice. Keep warm! Thank you for this.

[@TheReykjavikGrapevine]

Yep, it's a cliche for a reason! Thanks for watching

[@crriff660]

Walked that trail 45 years ago,never forgot that experience!

[@feline_type]

what absolutely stunning scenery! thank you for filming this : )

[@TheReykjavikGrapevine]

Glad you enjoyed it, we couldn't agree more

[@DalCecilRuno]

Cooking on the ground! I love this! I knew it's possible in Iceland and I'm glad to see it on video.

[@johncranwell3783]

Valur, you really need to put a guide book together of the "Abandon Iceland" series...I'd definitely buy it...great fun thank you. Cheers John 🍻

[@DanielDuganaperture]

Great video, I love the scenery & cooking on the ground is awesome. Consider sock liners for your next hike - they will save your feet.

[@MickeyDichter]

I have done parts of it and I plan to do the whole trail w/ tent next year! I love cold :-)

[@johnrowson7639]

Beautiful!

[@Kisuke94]

Poppy, next time, remember to bring sticks. They are a game changer when hiking.

[@trojanpony]

Beautiful footage. Thanks for taking us along!

[@TheReykjavikGrapevine]

You're welcome!

Don't forget your dark sunglasses when you walk on snowfields like that. Snow blindness is very painful and very frustrating. You need trekking poles always to help keep your balance or you might sprain your ankles in the suncups. I never realized that there are so many lovely shades of brown! Valur, your boots are too small for you and you need to be wearing trail runners, not boots. If you keep the boots for the rocky terrain, get a size up. If you use gel inserts for plantar fascitis then the bottoms of your feet will be better protected and supported.

Awesome, been there in 2013. Need to do this again. Sad that it's no 4k video though.

[@Mirrec182]

Guys from Grapevine, please promise me we can go hiking with this legend.

[@cjekyl]

I'm wishing this, as well!

[@corrineboxkicklove7942]

I want to do this hike with Valur, please. 👍🏼

Camping tip I once got (as long as you have a good sleeping bag). The colder you are, the fewer the clothes you wear in your sleeping bag. Let the bag do what it was designed to do: trap the heat within it. If you're wearing too many clothes, the bag can't fill with your body heat. Oh, and if your feet are cold, wear a hat! I've tested both of these ideas and they totally worked for me.

[@TheReykjavikGrapevine]

Great tips!

[@mandycleezehappyhour4238]

@@TheReykjavikGrapevine I also learned once after being really cold after a long day of hiking (in the middle of summer) that a large garbage bag can be a life saver. The people running the tour company I was hiking with told me about it. I *think* I put myself in my sleeping bag first and then slid inside the large garbage bag (vs. me crawling into the garbage bag and then into the sleeper). It created a vapor barrier and helped to keep the heat inside my sleeping bag while keeping cooler, damp air out. Whichever way it was, it was a revelation and I was nice and toasty. From then on, I always hike with an extra large garbage bag just in case. I guess a thermal blanket would also work, but in a pinch, that garbage bag is a great substitute.

Little did they know, that in March of 2021 what was to come.

[@davidconnell3867]

So, who is taking care of Polly and taking her out to chase her ball? 😜

[@TheReykjavikGrapevine]

Thanks for the concern about Polly's welfare - we can confirm she has a devoted team of ball-throwers catering for all her canine needs. (But she did miss Valur a little tiny bit).

[@fanikalogeropoulou1258]

Will do the trail asap! Which month did you do it?

If you toe hurts your shoes are too tiny or you forgot to trim the nails properly.
