We Walked Alone for 6 Days in the Canadian Wilderness - Hiking the North Coast Trail

- The North Coast Trail may be one of the most difficult hikes in Canada. Covered in water-soaked bogs, it's only relief is the many beaches sprinkled along it. Over the course of 6 days, we walk this most epic of hikes.

I love how yuka just drops the f bomb when she see’s how big the bear is
Cracked up lol. She's funny
the swer word!!11!!!!!!
Canadians swear like they breathe
Hey Eric, I usually don't comment but I had to on this one. Thank you so much for this video! The storytelling is incredible, it feels like coming along for the hike. The views are great and it really shows the natural beauty and atmosphere of this remote place on Vancouver Island. Absolutely fantastic!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I agree
Eric is why I hiked alone. I can't believe the crap that goes through that guy's mind.
Yuka is a riot! "Can i check?" hahahahahaha!
Those car tires filled with foam are used as dock flotation, and inevitably rust/break off and end up in the ocean!
Now I know!
I gotta appreciate the placement of the ads, it doesn’t interrupt the hike at all 👍
Get the Brave Browser. No ads ever
The NCT is awesome. Certainly one of my best time in Canada (with Squamish)
The bear @14:31 she was on the same spot two years ago, same character, same look
@@adijay9760 She's probably seen a few hikers go by :)
Yuka is the best trail buddy. He energy and humor is so likable!
Love this!! You should do more backpacking videos!!
Honestly watching this channel as someone who doesnt travel and just sits on a chair playing games for a whole day i never knew i would enjoy this type of content
Go experience it yourself a little.
I can remember sitting-in a bucket, crossing a shallow wide river, in Canada's Alberta region. 200 feet above the river. The bottom of the bucket was rotted-through. And the steel-cable line had not been replaced in decades. It was the scariest 300 foot crossing in my three decades of hiking. Beautiful video!
You both are absolutely amazing , so knowledgeable ! You have such a lovely balance ,both in supporting each other in everything that you do & a love that is very special 💖the diversity & the adventures you undertake are fantastic !!!! a pure joy on & off the bike !! God bless 😃👌🤙👍
Awesome episode! Super chilled, can't wait for you to be healed and back on the bike though. :D Love ya work mate!!
Got to love how the on the North island logging roads can get you pretty much anywhere
Yeah Eric as a fan of your content for a few years, i see the progression and evolution. you've gone from mtb pov guy to full on short film maker. I guess that would happen when one has the spirit of an artist. Brilliant work dude!

Thanks for that Zen :) Always trying to improve my craft!
I was fully planning on ignoring this video. Something told me to watch it anyway. I'm glad I did! Great story and well done on many levels. 👏
Eric and Yuka taking me back to my roots in the outdoors. You guys are awesome and this is such a great video!! Thank you both!!
what an awesome Adventure. This was a great video Eric
I love your videos so much! If you and Yuka did more things like this that would be so amazing! This made me want to go out and hike on a pouring raining day! Hopefully I'll work my way up the ladder of hiking trails one day to be able to do something like that!
Keep up the amazing work you two!
Amazing! Looks a lot like the West Coast Trail but even more remote and less popular. It's definitely on my list! Can't believe that bear was so chill, I've only seen them act like that in places with a LOT more humans
Wonderful story, thank you for sharing!
This made me feel like I was watching a David Attenborough film. Eric you put so much time into doing these things and I see why. This is why I watch your videos!
This is one of the best videos you have made. No matter the views, it’s underrated
Thanks Emma, I imagine this one won't do well as its different from the usual topic. But, I'm glad I made it.
This was one of your coolest videos and you didn’t even ride. Thanks for showing us the hidden gems of Canada.
This is probably my favorite video you've done, theres something about the pacing and the vibe of the trip that lends itself so well to your filming and narrative style. The beautiful environment doesn't hurt either. So. Good.
This just adds to the reasons moving to BC (from Ontario) is on the top of my bucket list.
Loved it. Such scenery !!! Great job...
I did some multi-day hikes along the beach on the west-coast of USA. I experienced everything you did ... except for bears. This video brought back a lot of memories.
Fantastic work Eric. What a great adventure story! And that bear just wanted to nap!
More of backpacking like this!!! Love it
What a wonderful journey!! Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow, beautiful country! I grew up boating in the San Juans and into BC's Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound. PNW is the finest in the lands, cheers! Also, that lazy bear was awesome!
The North Coast of BC is majestic! So beautiful. The 🐻 running away from you was so cute. It’s like a puppy.
I love bikes, but this is one of your coolest videos in a while!
Beautiful work, man! Your videos just keep getting better and better! Keep it up.
The format and style that you developed for MTB videos really carries well to this type of adventure. I hope we can see more videos like this in the future!
This was easily one of your best videos Eric. I've been wanting to do this trail for quite a while, but getting out for Calgary takes alot of planning. Your narration and film work have improved immensely since your beginning. I can't wait for you next video. Good luck on the healing and can't wait to see you on the bike again, but throw one of these videos in more often. We've got so much to show the world with the beauty of our backyard. Great Job!
Thank you both for this wonderful video!! We absolutely loved your storytelling, jokes and appreciate all the info you've shared.
Loved Yuka's reactions and also thank you for installing Eric lake and campgrounds for hikers 💚💙
Very disappointed........disappointed this wasn't a multi-episode series. Seriously, thank you and hope to see more like this!!
What a great video. I absolutely enjoyed it. Speedy recovery Eric🤙🏼😊
This video was epic! I was smiling the whole time watching it!
Eric great video. You really captured the essence of the entire hike. The variety of angles and great commentary really added to the visual story telling. 22 minutes flew by like it was 5. The sign of a great video. Keep it up.
Absolutely epic hiking journey! Thanks so much for bringing us along.
This looks amazing. I've been having fun touring around and making videos on the trails in Maine, but I've got to be honest - I'm REALLY looking forward to when we've conquered this virus so that I can go check out some of the beautiful places you're showcasing on this channel. Thanks so much for sharing these places, it's also really nice to be able to "travel" through these videos at a time where it's not easy to actually travel in real life.
Crazy adventure and beautifully showcased. Thanks for putting this together!
FINALLYYY! I’ve been waiting for a new video 🙃
Man that Vancouver Island rain forest is just something else.
An epic journey in a beautiful place. I’m Canadian and have never been to BC, but that needs to change. Incredible views and such a great experience for you both even though it included hardships. Thank you for taking us along. 🌸
you are so lucky to have one another. Being able to share what you two do is just a blessing.
This was incredible, the story telling and scenes that you captured were so inspiring, I want to do this trail!
What an adventure! You did a really impressive trail and so is your video. Thank you for sharing! Greetings from Germany, Werner
20:02 haha i love just sleeping on the beach with no tent when i'm on a canoe trip but it is definitely better in the middle of the summer, just gorgeous to lie in your sleeping bag and look up at the stars after a long day of paddling
Eric you’re a legend. Awesome video and love how you mix in facts, story, and history without an ounce of pretension. Just stoke
I’m so happy for you guys you can do things like that together. It is hard to find couples with the same kind of things you like in common. Keep on doing it and keep us posted of your adventures. By the way, you guys are excellent MTB riders. Take care and God bless you both. 😊
You guys are waaay more brave than I am. Looks like an amazing trip, and that scenery was really beautiful. Great vid.
Great video! Honestly enjoyed it way more than i thought i would keen to see more hiking/camping videos!!
This has to be one of my new favorite videos of yours this looks awesome
Hahah i laughed so much right at the beginning start walking already fall 😂😂
Thank you for making this wonderful video. Its put a big smile on my face . Although I live in the UK I am fortunate to have visited BC , Whistler & Vancouver Island . You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world. Keep up the good work. I am sure your videos are helping people cope during these difficult days. Stay safe.
Canadian wilderness is amazing. What a beautiful trail. Transportation over the river is special. I liked the scene with bears, they were so cute.
Any bear attacking? 4.00 very beautiful place.👌 Yuka innocent face very cute 🤣❤️❤️🌴🌴
Love Eric and Yuka. From 🌴🌴kerala 🌴🌴
Fantastic, inspiring, really love this kinda content. Love the Canadian outdoors, I know how lucky I am to live here!
Amazing video and what an experience it must have been for you too. Thank you for sharing a snippet of your experience with us. I have added this trail to the things to do when I visit my dream destination. (BC)
Thoroughly enjoy your video posts on CZcams. The use of drone shots on the world famous north coast trail certainty embellished the wild and scenic beauty of this magical landscape. Giving us insights into the challenges of this hike further unlockes concerns we might have in trying this. We appreciate the bond and love the two of you share, makes for great viewing.
Great vid. Your mtb videos are awesome but this was such a refreshing change up. I think all us mountain bikers can agree that biking in nature is amazing, but being out in the wild any way, is one of the best parts, even if it is on two feet as opposed to two wheels. Would definitely not mind seeing more content like this from you two.
I love your drone shots! I'm guessing you'll only be able to use it at the start since you'll quickly drain the battery, and there's no where to recharge ... unless you brought solar panels or some hand-crank charger!
This looked like a really fun adventure. I liked the bear that held his ground on the beach log.
You should absolutely throw a few more hiking vids into the mix, this was great! One day, visit Tasmania, Australia to hike the overland track (similar but inland) and Derby bike park.
The North tip of the Island is my home... I grew up in Port Hardy... I know this trail and coast intimately.... Thanks for this!
what a beautiful diversion from your usual videos! looks like a fantastic adventure.
This is one of your best art pieces! amazing!
What a brilliant video and what a beautiful place. Cheers Eric and Yuka 👍
Excellent video and story! Thanks for sharing.
My favorite CZcams channel, you two are amazing! Greetings from Mexico :)
Thanks you guys. Really enjoyed the video.
Very nice to see a hiking adventure on your channel! The video came out great. 😀👍🏻
That is awesome! My friends and I did the Juan de Fuca trail a few years back and it was absolutely beautiful. Our plan is to do the West Coast trail next, but the remoteness and beauty of this place might change our minds. Great video and good to see you out there adventuring with that cast on! 👌
Absolutely stunning! Thanks so much! 👍😁💕
This is so sick! I kayaked here years prior and seeing some familiar places really brings back fond memories. Well done you 2!
Wow, that was awesome, beautiful terrain and filming. Greetings from London, England - really enjoy yours and Yuka's channels, I've been to the US and Canada snowboarding but it's good to see other sides. One day I'll get over to ride Whistler, one day...
Great work! Loved it!
First time seeing your videos. I really enjoyed it , thank you for sharing.
Awesome video, congratulations on your adventure.
Inspiring and relaxing.
Leaving a like to support your video and channel 👍🏽
To be completely honest with you Eric, this has been one of my favorite videos ever!
This trail and the Pacific Coast trail are on my bucket list for sure!
great job on this one Eric!
pretty sure its spelled with a c
@@mateowarmerdam1029 Thanks
We 👏 need 👏 more 👏 kinds 👏 of 👏 videos 👏 like 👏 this 👏
I really enjoyed this , you guys are awesome 👍
Awesome... This has been on my to-do list for a long time. Makes a great change from the MTB videos.
Whatever happened to the rental car?
i think they drove back around with the van to go get it afterwards? that makes the most sense to me
I had the same question, just abandoned maybe?
😂 was asking myself the same!
Picked it up after with the van, just like you would if you were shuttling for mtb. :)
The bears are driving around in it
Super beautiful video, well done!
Amazing, I was planning on doing this trail but ended up doing the broken group this summer. Looks like you had a great trip.
Such a breathtaking place
Great video and a nice change of pace! I think I'll grab my head lamp and go for a night hike!
Beautiful drone shots!!!
Normally just like the video, watching on my TV from Australia.... this was awesome. Funny too. Great effort and self reward.
So jealous, they are living the life i would like to live.
Nice video of a wild trip ! It changes from bikes videos but I liked as much.
I noticed than Yuka let you pull the rope with your only one hand ! 😱😉
Oh man this is a refreshing change. Thanks for taking us along! 😁
Next up sunshine coast trail in powell river? Another multi day hike, you might be able to get the cast off when your done and do some cool trail riding to get back in tiding shape after
I was hoping you'd send the drone to visit the relaxed bear. I hope you had bear spray.
