In january I solo hiked and backpacked the GR 131 and a part of the GR132 on the island La Gomera.
The island is part of the Canary Islands.

Hello ! Awesome video, as always :) What is the brand of your green pants ?

Toujours aussi inspirant et stimulant. Merci ! Une question : pas de soucis à bivouaquer à la Gomera ou en principe le bivouac n’est pas autorisé ? Je m’apprête à y aller début mars, un peu tard pour trouver des hébergements encore dispo sur le tracé de gr…

Great video thank you for sharing, may I ask you what was your sleeping bag temperature rating? (I am planning to go in Feb so trying to pack appropriately) 🙂

[@FreakyMonkeySequence]

Nice video. I'm going to hike La Gomera next week and I can't wait. What did you use for your night time-lapses? They look awesome 👍. Thanks

[@YensBastiaens]

Thanks! You can find my camera and lens for timelapses in the description. Glad you enjoyed them :)

[@eleonorapocchiari1702]

amazing, i would love to do it alone, do you think is doable without the tent?

[@asiamartello3774]

Hey! Amazing shots and really cool video :) Wanted to ask, did you struggle to find water sources? Is it easy to change the hike paths (GR132 and 131) so as to eat in some venue/restaurant once every few days?

[@YensBastiaens]

There aren't many water resources along the way. I only saw 3-4 public places to get water except stores/restaurants etc that ofc had water, but better carry a filter to fill up in those public places. I don't know if it's potable water. You don't really come along any stores on the GR 131, but you come across enough towns on the gr132 to eat somewhere every few days. The gr 131 should take max 3 days, but 2 if you're a quick hiker. The GR 132 and 131 cross eachother in the north and south part of the island.

[@asiamartello3774]

@@YensBastiaens Thanks for your reply! Your backpack seems like it was around 30L so I'm impressed you managed to fit it all in there! Also, how long did the GR132 take you?

[@YensBastiaens]

@@asiamartello3774 I go ultra light weight hence I can fit it in a 38L backpack :) I only did a part of the GR132, so i can't really say. The estimates you find online are pretty accurate though.

@@YensBastiaens Thanks! Any tips on where to buy gas canisters in San Sebastian?

c'est drôle, la rando a vachement évoluée, et on a les mêmes influences, je regarde à du matos vidéo car je voulais faire comme toi, ou kraig adams, etc, et je vois aussi dans ton matos du zpacks etc, dont tu as certainement connaissance avec les trekkeurs compulsifs des chaines de thru hiker comme darwin on the trail etc. Top.

Could a hiker divide the 80 kilometers up into day hikes?

[@YensBastiaens]

Quite sure you can since there's lots of roads you come across

How you carry camera equipment in one backpack?

Being minimalistic when packing stuff
