A mix of coastal cliffs, seaside towns, waterfalls, whale watching, vibrant houses, mountains, challenging paths, and more.

[@NorthernScavenger]

The boys are lunatics! The route alone, plus the extra effort filming and low-key epic drone shots. Hats off, lads.

[@fishpants3877]

Outstanding! You guys are grabbing life by the balls. Great editing and super drone shots. My feet hurt just watching. Looking forward to more kms. and hopefully another date square.

[@chrisanddaniel100]

[@hughpaton8839]

very useful video for our upcoming hike 2023 August thanks!

[@daveyandsky]

Awesome!! Make sure to check out the other 2 episodes 😁

[@tconwayuntd]

I watched the deterioration of your feet and I’d like to offer a couple of suggestions based on hiking the trail for 25 years. First , buy a good pair of hiking boots. I recommend Dunham cloud. Second, wear a pair of liner socks to avoid blisters. I wear nylon ones with a good merino wool outer and have never had a blister Happy trails Tom Conway

[@WilliamFollett]

I live here and I"m not crazy enough to be what your at. Get er done.

[@daveyandsky]

LOL

[@nousefulness]

What app did you use for navigating, locating campsites and water, and points of interest along the way?

[@daveyandsky]

There's a bunch! All trails, Gaia, Canada topo, cal topo, maps.me

[@thomas15678]

Are you guys coming back to do it again?

[@daveyandsky]

haha I wish! Not any time soon but would love to come back and crush the record

[@SEMIRETIRED05]

The agony and the euphoria of your last few km really came across the screen. What kind of prep work did you do before the hike?

[@daveyandsky]

I was so incredibly happy to complete it, I had contemplated stopping a few times when my feet pain was unbearable. For training I averaging about 70km a week leading up to the trip running up the mountain by my house. Once a week I would do a long run with the pack. I was physically prepared but not so much prepared for my feet. Next time will be more socks and Vaseline 😁

[@SEMIRETIRED05]

@@daveyandsky How long did it take to fully recover from its effects, feet and all?

[@daveyandsky]

@@SEMIRETIRED05 Probably about a month before I felt 100% again.

[@crispybirchbeer5317]
