      I watch a lot of documentaries and I enjoyed this very much. It never felt like an episode was dragging or too long. Your commentary is easy to listen to and you provided so much wonderful footage. I'm excited to see what else you create!!

    This quality of this series is outrageous. It’s the kind of thing you would excitedly see on Nat Geo back in the day. Jeff, I hope you’re prepared to deal with how high you just set the standard for yourself! 😆

    This has been a great series Jeff and how exciting to be in the upper pack for the entire race. Congrats on an amazing finish and what an amazing and stunning contrast to what we have here in BC. As you highlight more locations, diverse terrain and interesting ecology, hopefully you will get over to the Island and showcase more of what BC has to offer.
