Hands down, one of the best hiking videos ever. Classic buddy film and comedic gold. An actual human story instead of "hey, check out my gear. I'm resupplying today. Blarg blarg blarg."

[@aStrayLife]

Thanks mate! I really appreciate that! I figured why not show the trail as it is...a hard slog through the wilderness but fun if you make it fun!

[@Jan.harvey]

This is just what I needed! I couldn't stop laughing.

[@aStrayLife]

Yes! Glad our ridiculousness can bring some joy!

[@BCHiker]

What an awesome video, I was glued to it, had me laughing. Thanks for posting!

[@aStrayLife]

Thanks! We definitely had a fun time teasing each other the whole trail!

[@kimib7450]

Thank you! You made me laugh so much. And it reminded me my "best" moment during my own TA 19/20. ;)

[@aStrayLife]

Of course, thank you! I hiked 19/20, too! It was quite the adventure!

[@Michiirainx]

[@aStrayLife]

Hey let’s get Tom out for another would like to join you guys!!

[@aStrayLife]

I’d love that. He’s back in UK domesticating. But hopefully soon!

[@vantagepoint3313]

@@aStrayLife haha need to take him on a longer one and more remote so he can’t bail with a car 😂

[@aStrayLife]

Haha to be fair we met while hiking the Appalachian Trail and he hiked 1400 miles! He’s getting soft in old age 😅

[@shaunarundell]

Tom looked quite slim by the end. Looks like a good way to loose those extra Kilos

[@aStrayLife]

Oh for sure! Long hikes are the way to go!!

[@patrickgardner396]

Loved this! :)

[@skurfa]

[@aStrayLife]

[@TreavorUnion]

[@rob1971]

Haha poor Tom having to put up with that awful terrible British accent 😉 So much bromance in one short video, complete with matching outfits at 8:10 ❤️

[@aStrayLife]

Haha channeling my inner David Attenborough! It was quite the bromance and I hope we’ll hike again someday!

[@rob1971]

[@antoniabaker7770]

Cracked me up. Tom your a whinging pom, but very entertaining.

[@aStrayLife]

Haha glad you liked it. Hopefully he and I can do another hike together again
