    I can’t get over the quality of the trails you hike - they’re bloody super-highways! I was always amazed at tales of US hikers doing 20 miles a day. A good day in the hills here in NZ would be 10km, it now makes sense, no calf deep mud or walking up wild rivers for four hours...

      Years ago I was sent on a trip up the Styx River and down the Arahura River by a local when I was in NZ. He told me it would be "a walk in the park." I did not pick up on his sarcasm, or maybe he really did think it was a walk in the park. Needless to say that trip put me through the wringer!

    I'm 62, hiked 2,500 miles in 1988 (mainly small roads, some trails), and now that I'm retired in Colorado I'm planning to do a CT thru hike next year. (I spent several days on Segments 24 and 25 this summer and, WOW!) I have learned so much from your videos. I know you don't get rich doing what you're doing, and appreciate your taking the time to share your knowledge with the rest of us. In 1988 my pack weighed 60 pounds. I hope that in 2021 it'll weigh about 11-12 pounds base weight. (I do have some luxuries, and I can't afford to buy the ultra-ultralight gear.) PS: No way I'll be doing 27 and 25 miles my first two days, so I anticipate I'll be carrying a lot more water than you did!

      @rolfdenver Před 3 lety

      @@jkgkjgkijk You know, you're absolutely right - no way I'll get to 11-12. 15-16 is a more reasonable target - and that doesn't include my telephoto camera.

I have a little more than 800 miles on the AT and had to come off. I hope to finish up next year. Then onto the PCT. Stay safe and healthy. God bless. Oh, I'm a young 68. LOL LOL

    I grew up very close to Waterton Canyon and we used to go out there all the time when I was growing up, so I was absurdly excited to see Darwin standing next to the sign in the video. I used to look at the Colorado Trail sign there when I was in college (I was into birding then and the area in and just outside the entrance to the Canyon is fantastic for birds) and wonder what it would be like to hike all the way to Durango. Now that I've started backpacking myself, who knows, maybe someday... Looking forward to the rest of these videos!

Really appreciate you sharing any of it...and Happy Birthday!
