    Take expected amount of time to make a hike ...add 30% more time for going back and getting cameras and setting up shots...add 10% for petting and talking to random animals. Your extra efforts will never go unappreciated.

    • @Fatbutnotflat
      @Fatbutnotflat Před 4 lety +3

      To pet random animals actually would give more benefit to yourself, moreso when someone is solo travelling.

      @sorellman Před 3 lety

      @4ourfutureinfinity True about added weight. Benefits: keeps snow/water out of your socks and, most importantly, you have less of a chance to experience a sprain ankle, especially on the descent. It all depends of the structure of the trail.

    This feels sooooo weird to watch. I did the same trek last year and now I almost completely relive it by watching this. Was such an emotional hike for me as I went through a rough patch last year and my trip to South America was like a turn-around moment. Reaching the top during this trek (also did the Salkantay Trek to Macchu Pichu, which gave me an equally emotional feeling) was such a glorious moment. Love it, Kraig. Thanks for sharing.

    Last year I spend 5 months around Peru, solo trekking through Santa Cruz, Huayhuash, Colca, Salkantay. Thank you for the opportunity to relive a few of these moments through your video. What a country with all pros and cons, a year later I still feel like Peru stole a piece of my heart. (btw. be careful with stray dogs in South America, I learned my lesson hard way 😉)

    I made a couple hiking videos, but without such a clear intention of creating a project like this. I was just trying to learn to make videos and I go hiking anyway. Anyway, I've enjoyed doing making those videos even though I have a lot of room for improvement.
    I didn't know that hiking videos were a thing people do until I found yours recently and have been binge watching them. Your hiking videos are great! I especially like the way you've been editing your hiking videos in a quiet manner followed with a talking recap of the trip. I've learned a lot of lessons. Much appreciated!

Watching your videos makes me relax more than you can imagine. Keep it up!
