So very grateful for this film - I will return to it often. Thanks for hiking with me out there - may we have more (shorter, less muddy)adventures in the future. -Pez
One of the best documentations of the CDT I’ve seen. Awesome videography, a great telling of the story, and enough humor and insight to keep it rolling along.
Austin/Poseidon, great work on the sophomore trail-film documentary. Solid production work, music and narration. Your PCT video was top 5 in the genre and kudos for crushing another thru-hike. Thanks for taking us on another journey. So far you're the only person I've seen to make two award-worthy triple crown trail thru-hike docs! Congrats on the amazing accomplishment!
I agree, do you reveal to us the other 4 of your PCT Top 5? Mine are "It is the people" (Elina Osborne), "The long way home" (Titouan le Roux), "Just passing thru" (Courtney Eve White) & "Every single step" (Nathan Brooks)
@@michel.h_cf99 Great question, I'd say The hole shoes is the one I watch the most, Elina Osborne, Austin's the Art of Walking, This is not a beautiful hiking video by Chopper, and Captain Jack's multi part series. Hope that answers your question!
"Make your life happen, be brave, challenge yourself, leave your comfort zone, go and see the grandest of places. Let the process run it's course and above all, enjoy the little moments along the way". Brilliant storytelling and videography on both your PCT and CDT films.
Fellas. I cannot tell you much I enjoyed this film. Enjoy the moments in between the beginning and end! I love that sentiment. What a beautiful distillation of all your arduous trials and tribulations. Blessings.
Thank you Austin for sharing part of your journey with us! The PCT film was epic, this was beyond epic 🙌 Well worth the wait! I hope you continue to hike, film and share your stories with us. Hike, eat, rest, repeat 🏕
Wow you truly have an incredible talent to capture and narrate all that a thru hike is, the amazing views, the challenges of hiking day after day, the good times and the bad. I only wish I had your ability to capture my thru hikes if only to share with my hiking friends and my family. A huge thank you for all the effort that you put in to filming and editing to share with us.
Magnificent! You have created the most outstanding film on your CDT journey in 2023. Your videography, editing and narration is absolutely captivating. That's a lot of work and your production deserves an award. You invested a lot of time and effort. Thanks for taking us along. I wish you many more incredible journey's.
Top marks for your photography, narration, editing, and production! I find stories about through hikes completely enchanting even though I’ve never done one. And your production here makes my curiosity all the easier. So well done! Thank you so much!
You make documentaries look fun. And easy. But we know how difficult some of that journey was. This was so good and I loved every second of it. Thank you so much for creating another rich story on the trail.
I'm only up to the Colorado potion of the doc, but this is REALLY well done! I think you have done a great job capturing the beauty, friendships, and daily challenges of the CDT! Can't wait to watch the rest!
I hiked this trail SOBO in '22 and this film made me relive all of those special, magical moments... I felt moved and emotional as I now find myself navigating through real life struggling to find some real excitement... Gosh I miss those trail moments. You are a talented film maker to whom I can only say THANK YOU for bringing me back some great memories!!!! Hike on brother. Benji
Thank you to someone I know has a real appreciation for the beauty of our wilderness & expresses this well. Austin, you love life in the mountains & the challenges of it. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats on another great video. I loved the PCT video and you have not disappointed on this one. Thank you for your efforts in this, you do not see many CDT video, but this one will go into my "favourites" section on CZcams.
Wow, congratulations to you and your friends for finishing the CDT. Thank you so much for sharing the beauty and the obstacles! Stay safe 🙏 keep Hiking .
Thankfully the Algorithm Gods brought me your PCT film, and now this! Both are brilliant, but this one shows you honing your craft. Pure magic - nice work!
This was so beautiful. The hike. The Vibes. The filming and editing. I'm going to do the A.T. next year and I understand that calling of the trail no matter how hard it is. It's something special that we get to feel and experience. Watching this made me feel the trail tugging at my soul. I loved this and will watch again next year on the A.T. thank you for this
You’re an incredible storyteller and film maker. Just as good, if not better than the PCT one, which was hard to beat. I’d watch a documentary of you walking around your block. Looking forward to more of your adventures!
I just watched both of your films. Excellent!! Beautifully filmed and narrated. I want more! I think it’s time for the AT, to complete your triple crown 👍🏼
If you ever find yourself on a long walk far from home,make your life happen. Be brave, challenge yourself. Leave your comfort zone. Go see the grand distant places. Let the process run its course. Above all, enjoy the little moments, along the way.
This was truly beautiful. Congrats on your hike, and on having made a fantastic documentary about it. As a vet of sections of the PCT and CDT, I admire your perseverance and your ability to stop and document the beauty, struggle, and reality of your journey. Thank you for this film, I will watch it again and again!
Hi Austin. Another amazing film. I just shared it with all my hiking buddies for inspiration. I love the cinematography, but it's the storytelling I enjoy the most. You are a wonderful storyteller. Thanks very much for sharing your adventures, insights, and wisdom from the trail with the world.

I cannot describe how excited I am to see this. Your PCT film was incredible 👍
Glad you liked it! I hope you will enjoy this equally as much!
I had the exact same reaction! Watching this now!

I LOVE these films!! As a 17 year old who can’t go out and do this stuff quite yet, I literally live vicariously through these.
