Ups and downs on the CDT-PART 11

[@dipibipid8570]

Ben... I live in Idaho USA.... cool vlog of your journey through America. Thanks for sharing your travels with us. Hope you found most Americans to be friendly & respectful. Enjoy a cold brew for me. 😁

[@trailblazermatt]

I love your journey so far.. It's hard to be depressed in such beauty I'd imagine.. I can only dream of such places...

[@c-beam3670]

Wow!! those Colorado mountains!

[@popej1able]

From south to north any witch way you can. Do it as safe as possible man! I would be doing the same. Keep doing as you are, enjoy your self!

[@eamon5]

Nice one Ben, and this has the best thumbnail yet

[@maude5160]

You are correct, USA has a truly unique and diverse range of scenic landscapes and interesting range of critters, except for that bear, yikes. All of your walks have been worthy of laying down on canvas. Thanks for the video.

[@mtadams2009]

Most Americans I know don’t drink anything but micro brew. Mostly IPA’s I don’t know anyone that drinks Bud, Coors or any of the other crap.

[@CDPOutdoors]

Scenery looks fantastic. Wildlife looks amazing. All the best Clive 🤠

[@nathanschler1214]

It was nice meeting you in Grand Lake under the gazebo while waiting out the rain. Look forward to following your adventures. Safe travels!

[@anothertravelflog]

You too Nathan. I ended up staying the night at Grand Lake haha

[@JessicaTPeterson]

Great scenery, wildlife, and... a bush bash! I was waiting to hear that again. I'm really enjoying your CDT tour of my home state. I need to go back and check out your NM videos, then catch up again in WY.

[@anothertravelflog]

I'll try and add some more ' Strayan ' language going forward.... Things like Arvo, servo, etc...

[@JessicaTPeterson]

... And so began a strange shift in the vernacular along the US Continental Divide. What fun, thanks! Think I'll need a dictionary though.

[@kimberlypenney7216]

Thanks for correcting misconceptions of the US! Chiropractor or a masseuse are great for that type of neck discomfort.

[@TheGggnome]

Leyland Brothers would'a been proud of'ya.

[@johnshaide6954]

Great stuff Ben! Thanks for sharing. Oh yeah, cow and calf moose.

[@anothertravelflog]

Thanks John, calf it is

[@potato7173]

Nice one mate!!

[@mickbeckers]

Top effort Ben. On the back end of Colorado now.

[@anothertravelflog]

Nearly there, I couldn't have done it any slower with as many alternates as possible. Think I've had 12 town night stays haha. Time to get moving from tomorrow, I mean it this time...maybe

[@Derrenf66]

Wow, that was a beauty of a stage, unbelievable scenery. The CDT is now elevated on my trail list, just need the iron ore price to tank and the WA government to offer a generous redundancy package and I’ll be there. I feel for you with that neck problem, I drove reaches and conventional forklifts for years. Btw, how you are you managing your food and bears? I’m assuming your using a hang system.

[@anothertravelflog]

Yep forklift neck for life, my golf career is over... Funny a week ago I was thinking all my work aches and pains are gone, next minute... Better now, would of sworn I torn a muscle . Food, no management ATM, just buring it in my backpack in the tent. When I get into grizzly country I'll get an Ursack and put it a few hundred metres away. I haven't seen anyone on trail hanging food at this point

[@Derrenf66]

Thanks mate, that’s another of my misconceptions of hiking in the US cleared up. I thought you would have already been hanging below the tree line since you entered Colorado. The flip floppers are giving you good intel enabling you to hang up the ice axe and spikes.

[@anothertravelflog]

People only seem to worry about it in Grizzly country. Though a black bear killed someone a few weeks ago in Arizona, which is rare

[@Derrenf66]

Good luck with the next bit, you must be approaching halfway by now.

[@anothertravelflog]

@@Derrenf66 very close. All downhill from here ..

[@JB-tj9mm]

0:49 😂

[@anothertravelflog]

Was wondering how I missed it...watched the video back...there it is!
