I climbed Mount Baloy: TOUGHEST hike in the Philippines

- Mount Baloy is one of those adventures that push you to the edge of your comfort zone. It’s a steep physical challenge, but it’s the arduous conditions that make this one of the most challenging hikes in the Philippines.
We were wet every single moment of the hike except when sleeping, I pulled more than 500 leeches off my body throughout the hike and the undergrowth scratched me up beyond belief. Combine that with 2,800m of incline, multiple river crossings, and rugged terrain and it’s a damn tough adventure for the body and mind. The final layer of difficulty to this hike is receiving a permit, one of the most impractical processes of any trek in the world.
Without Benito, my climb simply wouldn’t have happened for so many reasons. He organized everything, accompanied me to get permits, and food, organized the local guides’ logistics, spoke English, and was one of the most helpful and friendly people I’ve met in the Philippines.

I really don't understand why Jackson doesn't have more subscribers. This man truly loves and appreciates the natural beauty of the Philippines. Unlike the other vloggers that are clearly just there to get more subscribers. Cheers, Jackson! I love watching your adventures. 🍻
CZcams just recommended me this video today. Never heard of this channel before. This man is bushwhacking thru the jungle with a smile on his face and leaches all up in his shoe. I'm def subscribing now!
Thanks mate, yea I mostly make these vids as a fun memory ✌🏽
Haha cheers
Yeah! Me too I don't know this vlogger when suddenly appear in my channel I subscribe immediately.

@@mariv6096 you ok mari? first time i see comment like this. I guess better explain so you can be in my shoes. Try reply to 500-2000 plus comments per video, additionally across other platforms would require full time job. Thanks have a great day
Is he another Fighterboy? Fighterboys 4.0!
With every travel vlogger that goes off the beaten path in Philippines, discovering or seeing beautiful places in Philippines just seem to be endless. And it doesn't end when you reach the ocean, because beneath it is more beauty.
You're the only travel vlogger i know, so far, who is capable of showing us these expectacular but mostly unknown places, and unseen on video. So thank you for allowing us to see these, your epic journeys.
Thankyou so much. I appreciate that.
Cycled from Cebu to Panay Island then climbed one of the toughest hike in ph. What a beast! And the aerial drone shots were 🔥🔥🔥
Benito the legend. He also guided Kulas (@BecomingFilipino) weeks ago when he was at Valderrama.
You deserve a million subscribers sir! I am proud Antiqueñio ♥️ God bless sir!
I watched a thousand foreign vlogs and this is very new to me and I diidn't even know it existed in Philippines, great adventure Jackson thanks for sharing it!
Im a flipino but., mt. Baloy?? Whre?? Hahaha
Your adventures in the PH always amazes me. Not for the feint of heart. The bike ride alone could have been its own content. Each stage of the climb could have been a stand alone. Congratulations on reaching the peak.

I respect this man. The way how he vlog are amazing!
That view is breathtaking!
Have climbed that 25 years ago… I brought with me a small scissors so everytime a leech attached itself to me, i just cut it with the scissors. I made it a point to check myself every one hundred steps just to get rid of them… your video reminds me of my experienced… i also left a coin in one of those trees as an offering to the gods… there should also be a lake on the summit which we missed because some of our friends were shivering from being wet and cold… one of my grandparents hide there during the war… thanks for the video
Haha that's an interesting approach
That is magical 😍
the views are awesome 👋👋👋
thanks for this video. i love adventure too.
stay safe and enjoy every steps you make.
Wow, amazing view
What an epic vlog. Beautiful!!! Completed the Panay Trilogy last year. For me, Mt.Baloy was the hardest then Mt. Nangtud and Mt. Madia-as. New subscriber here... 😊
Wow my respect to you. Now I am seeing somebody exploring my province Antique. So epic and so cinematic. AMAZING.
Jackson -- Your channel was just recommended to me. Wow. I thought eating balut was challenging. Your adventures are epic!

Great Journey! When i saw this video, i didn't hesitate to subscribe. Now, i'm a fan! Keep it up!
WOW! Everything in this video is just amazing! I cant imagine the challenge you faced during your trek! We climbed Mount Igcuron just 2 weeks ago, and man, it was already a tough challenge, so let alone Mount Baloy! I wish I will be able to muscle through Mount Baloy someday!
I always choke up every time I see how beautiful the landscape is when on the summit.. More power Jackson! Shoutout to your tour guide, he was the guy who made us that tasty native chicken tinola for our lunch during our Igcuron hike. :)
Your journey is amazing bro
Wow! I admire your determination and stamina to cycle and hike on one of the toughest mountain in the Philippines. Thank you for sharing us your wonderful and breathtaking journey. Keep safe always.
