The cat greeted you in the night and STAYED UNTIL NEXT MORNING, and sat on you? That's perfect, that's cosmic. Two living beings that probably will never meet again. That's beautiful.

that's normal, when my cat sleeps by my side, I astral projected

[@cyclox73]

The hiking/running/trail theme is definitely something you should continue to pursue.

There is a hotel in Marampata, it is halfway to 2 hours from Choquequirao, now nobody takes shops or food on board g.page/choquequiraosanctuarylodge?share

I would die for that cat 🤷🏽‍♂️

You don't have to die, just travel to Peru and hike Choquequirao.

[@baskindarkness8457]

@L. W cats are usefull in outdoor areas, they will keep their(your) territory clean from diverse plagues, but mostly will take care of mice, to some extent. so even though they arent as cool as dogs, i wouldnt call a cat ugly, and their owners creepy. I would think its not the ideal pet for an apartment for example. And if you live in an apartment, and own more than 2 cats, then yeah, its creepy. or wierd., but mostly nasty.

I've binge watched a lot of your videos and the somber mood of the music (in a good way) combined with your film making is so beautiful. I hike alone all of the time and your work really speaks to my soul. Cheers from the beautiful state of Utah.

This is only the second video of yours I've seen, and it is already some of the very best stuff on KZbin. Top notch content. Keep the hikes coming, Kraig.

Amazing kraig! I seen you pushing hard through Choquequirao! I know you dont talk to much about your personal life but i have a general idea of what it feels like going through a break up. You are in charge of your own happiness! You learned how to be independent. I'm sure the right person will stick around to enjoy those things with you! Hope all is well. I wish you and Indiana the best moving forward!
