I think this is your best video EVER ! I used to be all about mountain biking and found that my desire to live on the edge all the time lost its novelty after awhile. PLEASE do more hiking and self-introspection videos. YOU are the most interesting part of your videos.
A blind person could have seen this coming, Im glad for you and Im grateful we got to tag along. I hope you can return to MTB as an enjoyable hobby and not such a job in the future. Your fans eagerly await the next big changes and we'll cheer you on along the way
Worst thing is all the "buddies" - what I used to call folks in close proximity on bike rides or walks (hikes). I always hated having buddies, as getting away from people was one of my motivations for hikes or bike rides. Enjoy your break.
"all i had to do was walk.... for 10 hours" lol. you're an inspiration yuka. this video really resonates with me. i'm taking a "break from everything" myself atm. got burned out from doing the things i loved too much, with too many expectations, and it wasn't fun anymore. but i feel like i'm nearing the end of the break now that i find myself doing those things in my dreams once again :)
That’s great you came out from the other side and doing what you love once again. Sometimes we need time to miss those stuff so we can remember how much we love them.
After about 18 years of Mtbing I too started to feel burnt out from Mtbing. Looking for a change I bought my first gravel bike. It was the answer I was looking for. A whole different style of riding, so much fun. Seven plus years later and I love riding my gravel bike just as much as my Mtb. So now I alternate between the 2 for variety. I admire your courage doing a 7 day hike on your own. You are an inspiration of life, keep it up.
Hi Yuka, I am sorry that you are going through a hard time. I think this is God’s way of making you rethink what is important, and to ask for help and guidance. I hope that you continue to ride. You are an inspiration, you are passionate and persistent. You will be ok. P.S., Eric needs to give you all out massage. Take care, and God bless Don
I did that same walk many years ago. In the middle of summer. It snowed half way. A girl had to be airlifted out after swimming (it was aslo very hot) in a granite hole that covered her with leeches. There was a long stretch jumping from lump of button grass to another - for hours and hours. The tree roots killed our feet and legs. The huts were in poor condition. There weren't many board walks. We had to walk through water waste deep for half a kilometer. We cheered up at Lake St.Claire.
I’ve been following you since a while now and this was by far the most touching video in a while. It put me back into my shoes when I did the short Cradle mountain round (3 day hike). Your kind of story telling and your loveliness are different from most other creators. Keep pushing for your dreams and following your passion as long as you keep being a true inspiration.
Another slightly different video -- spice for your channel. It reminded me of your trip to Japan after you got injured and your adventure "camping" in a UHaul in Canada. Thank you for taking us along to see that gorgeous scenery!
This brought back some memories! Day 1 is always so busy with day hikers and then it gets quieter. Looks like all the huts were brand new. Great video Yuka
I did a wonderful 3 day hike in Washington, USA along a beach from Rialto Beach to Lake Ozette. It was truly spectacular and beautiful, but you must have a tide-table with you and be careful not to camp where the tide will come in. Sometimes you must rest on a hill because the tide comes in so there is nowhere to hike. The things I saw and the pictures I took were spectacular. I highly recommend you do it. You are completely cut off from the world for 3 days and there is no official places to camp. You are truly out in the wild and it is not maintained with stairs, toilets, rest huts. It's just nature. You will rarely see people. The sunsets over the water are amazing.
Well done Yuka! Sleeping alone out in the forest after a long walk is good for keeping a clean mind. When beeing out trekking I love it when the different days blur and you no longer know exactly which day it is today. Then all worries, constraints and hardships from normal life are forgotten and only the here and now counts. Thank you for letting us be part of this!
Beautiful!! Thanks for the vicarious hike, and some childhood memories. I left Tasie for Canada 50 years ago. It seems they have fixed the trail a bit in the last 50 years. People used to get lost on that trail and never be seen again. My father used to participate in search parties.
The lady at cradle mountain visited centre really wanted me to bring a satellite phone just in case. Around the Pine Valley area was not as well marked as the main track for sure. I’m glad I survived!
Great video. You have been through so much this year. I wish for you the comfort of your own self. You don't need us, your viewers, to be amazing. That is already in your nature.
15:50 Yes - every backpack trip I have been on (in my youth) left some open hurt! Usually in my feet, but sometimes from some stumble and scrape. You should have asked some experienced backpacker - There is always something that begins scraping - you don't have to suffer through it - adjustments can be made, especially to a backpack. Thank you Yuka for sharing your adventures with us - TASMANIA!!! :)
Leave it to Yuka to make me, a "hiking is boring" person, want to go to the other side of the planet to hike for 7 days. Thank you for sharing, awesome trip!
I've only been to NZ, and hiking there is nice. You don't have to worry about bears or mountain lions or other big animals that can mess you up, so you could hike by yourself unlike here in Canada.
Glad you did that trail and checked it off your list Yuka!!! Such a great trial and your video bring back many memories of walking that trail!!! Thanks for a great video
I did the first section of this hike a number of year ago. It is a beautiful part of the world. Great video and remember just do what makes you happy and you will be happy. I feel in love with wombats on this trip. Still my favourite animal 10 years later.
Did you see the baby wombat? Sooooo cute❤️ and my patreon shared a great and cute website with me. theoatmeal.com/comics/wombats you should go check it out 😁 I loved the part “murder cheeks”
I recommend you read the novel The Long Walk by Stephen King, written under his penname Richard Bachman. It's about an annual walking competition with boys. The winner gets whatever they want for the rest of their life, but the catch is, only one can survive. It's the first novel Stephen King completed. He wrote it in 1967 at age 19 at the University of Maine. It's a short novel. Some people read it in one day.
Your videos always inspire me. Great non-bike video. Getting back into MTN biking after a 20yr break and your videos help battling my basically beginner mental blocks. Keep the videos coming and thanks!
You mentioned running without your pack - there are some people who decide that the track itself isn't enough of a challenge, so instead of hiking it they run it in one day
Well done on the endurance and mental fortitude front again Yuka 😊a small but invaluable bit of advice...wear a well cushioned pair of socks when hiking...you'll be well surprised by the difference they make 👍looking forward to your next adventure 😊
Wow that was a great video Yuka! You really are an adventurer going all the way to Tasmania to do something on your list. It looks so peaceful and relaxing there and you didn't do anything in wild boar mode! Thanks for sharing your adventure.
So good to see you taking care of yourself Yuka and taking care of your mental health. Finding some peace in a peaceful place. I hope to see you come back full time/full speed to mountain biking, but if you don't it's okay. If you are happy, I'm happy for you.
Looked like a good time! I think that voice inside us that we like to battle with to get through something is what keeps people like us doing the sports we love.
I think this is your best video EVER ! I used to be all about mountain biking and found that my desire to live on the edge all the time lost its novelty after awhile. PLEASE do more hiking and self-introspection videos. YOU are the most interesting part of your videos.
Thank you for your kind comment ✨ I’d love to do more of those adventures in the future 😁
"normally people go in to the hut and socialize but I just stay outside and enjoy nature" love it Yuka 🥂
A blind person could have seen this coming, Im glad for you and Im grateful we got to tag along. I hope you can return to MTB as an enjoyable hobby and not such a job in the future. Your fans eagerly await the next big changes and we'll cheer you on along the way
Eric should wake up evey day and thank you for being in his life. Great video as always
"i had fun. every step had a pain". what an absolute maniac
I think most of us mountain bikers enjoy the solitude... even when biking trails with friends you're still mostly alone. Love your videos Yuka!
Worst thing is all the "buddies" - what I used to call folks in close proximity on bike rides or walks (hikes). I always hated having buddies, as getting away from people was one of my motivations for hikes or bike rides. Enjoy your break.
Yes Yuka! You found a new challenge.
Youre an amazing person Yuka, Thank you for bringing us along with you.
You’re*

@@VanGirlYuka you should come to Western Australia it is amazing plus we have lungs longer bike park

I’m doing a huge bikepacking in Tasmania right now and it’s a completely different riding. My whole world changed✨

Laughed so hard with the square poop, hilarious! Great adventure, crazy beautiful there!

Whoa, can see why, definitely more modern now.
So true. People still go missing and die on that track these days. It's a serious hike.
The lady at cradle mountain visited centre really wanted me to bring a satellite phone just in case. Around the Pine Valley area was not as well marked as the main track for sure. I’m glad I survived!
You two are too much fun. Come back to Bellingham and ride again this summer! Cheers!
That "Oh my God" from Eric at the end said it all 🤣.
Great video. You have been through so much this year. I wish for you the comfort of your own self. You don't need us, your viewers, to be amazing. That is already in your nature.
I have done the overland with my family and loved it hope you have a good break and enjoy ur stay in aussie!

One of the best Yuka videos ever!
You are strong lady, always will be. Take it easy enjoy.

Thanks for taking us along 👍🏻
Thanks for taking us on such an awesome journey. All the pain seemed so worth it. 💪🏽
Brilliant! Loved the square poop bit 😂🙏🏼
I've only been to NZ, and hiking there is nice. You don't have to worry about bears or mountain lions or other big animals that can mess you up, so you could hike by yourself unlike here in Canada.
I feel the same! Though Australia still has snakes that will kill us…NZ is the safest!
Very inspirational thank you! Time to make a list and start crossing things off 🤟
Good luck on your journey
Well done Yuka! You’re an inspiration. I’ve missed you.
Lovely of you to share the journey with us especially if you were feeling exhausted.

What an amazing trip! The views and time to recharge your social battery must have been amazing! Great job Yuka!
Enjoy tasmania. You are always welcome

That’s crazy 😂
That was a crazy trek. Good for you for making it through. It’s tough to hike with a lot of weight in your pack.
That looked great. It was fantastic seeing you in Tassie, and wonderful that you made to the SOHO Enduro!
thanks for coming to tassie!
Great video as always! That looks like an amazing hike. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure. 🏕
It was amazing. I really recommend it 👍
Nice hike😊👍🏻👍🏻
Great video
So good to see you in my neck of the woods. Great video. You are very tough to take this on your own
Yuka, you are the best.
Great video!! The scenery looks amazing!!
The BEST hike in Australia 👍 Tasmania is awesome ✨
I really enjoy yuka's bike videos, but I LOVE this backpacking ones. Thank you Yuka :)
Loved this. Putting it on my trekking buvket list
Awesome video👍👍👍 kep it up yuka😀
Well done on the endurance and mental fortitude front again Yuka 😊a small but invaluable bit of advice...wear a well cushioned pair of socks when hiking...you'll be well surprised by the difference they make 👍looking forward to your next adventure 😊
Wow that was a great video Yuka! You really are an adventurer going all the way to Tasmania to do something on your list. It looks so peaceful and relaxing there and you didn't do anything in wild boar mode! Thanks for sharing your adventure.
So good to see you taking care of yourself Yuka and taking care of your mental health. Finding some peace in a peaceful place. I hope to see you come back full time/full speed to mountain biking, but if you don't it's okay. If you are happy, I'm happy for you.
I came back full speed and I joined a race in Hobart😁 that was super fun! It’s going to be BCpovs channel👍
Such an epic hike. I've been there and it's wonderful. I hope you cleared your mind ☺
Looked like a good time! I think that voice inside us that we like to battle with to get through something is what keeps people like us doing the sports we love.
We need pain (like climbing up mountains) to enjoy the sport more…
Congratulations, one more item checked on your bucket list.
Most importantly, you are staying true to yourself❣️ Great Job🥰
Way to push!!
Nice! 👌🏾
Taking a break is good. Take time for yourself
