WOW what an achievement congratulations mate well done. I was there in September 2022 an amazing surreal place. Hopefully going back next year. Great video!!! Cheers from Melbourne AUS👌💪
Hi, just for personal interest, how did you manage to hike from tje Trailhead at the Lighthouse of Hraunhafnatangi to Asbyrgi in just one day, what is way over 70km in distance ?
sooo beautiful. fall in love witb the structure of island. How did you manage to cross the country without any fixed paths? with a satnav direct airline
Fantastic video! I'm planning to trek the same route this summer in August. A couple of questions: - How did you arrange a food pick up at Dreki Hut? - Do you have gpx file you would be willing to share? - How did you travel the final stretch to Hraufnatgartangi? (and if you hitchhiked, how was it?)
You should make a traveling itinieary on how to prepare for such trip - I would love to do such trip and having some tips from someone who already did it would be a big help - and wouldnt mind paying a couple of bucks for it ;-)
Beautiful !! It’s so visually stunning. You should make a video of how you prepared for it. Another one for what you packed ! Thank you for sharing your trek!
What an amazing video! I was thinking about doing something similar myself... Could you perhaps share a rough gear list of the things you brought on this trip? How did you go about getting food?
Good job man! I will be doing a very similar route next year. Hopefully I will hit the weather conditions like you. Beautiful shots, beautiful moments. Very good pace. Respect man! Did you have solar batteries to charge your equipment ? How many kg did you have on your back ? Food is mostly lyofood ? What model of tent you have?
Hi ! Thanks for the kind comment, wish you good luck if you do a similar trip, to answer your questions : - I had two 20mAh batteries for charging, as well as three drone batteries. I recharged the batteries only at my forth day andkept my phone off most of the time. - I had between 16 and 32 kg on my back depending on food and water - Food was half lyo / half tuna+pasta and a v large variety of cereal bars - I had a quick hiker from Decathlon: great tent for its price - not sure if they still produce it tho but they have similar models
Great video! I am thinking of doing this hike, or a shorter north-south route. Can you say how you plan your resupply points and whether a shorter route is possible to cross north to south?
11:02 really highlights the point. In the moment all we feel is the suffering, the pain, the monotony, the isolation, but at the end looking back once it's done after the effort the story is completely different. Life is mostly monotonous, tedious, boring work similar to this hike but those islands of time where u saw beauty where u saw a different world those moments are what we fight for and one day hopefully when we are old and our time is ready we can look back at life much as the same way. We had to struggle, we had to suffer but at the end the beautiful picture painted is what made life worth living
Hey Jean, I was recently in Iceland by motorcycle and on the way back home, I watched your video. It is very intimate and the way you travel is a very nice way to get the slow paced experience and really appreciate the land. Take care and good luck in your future journeys.
Hi Jean, i hiked the TA this year and im looking for new places for hiking. Im keen to hike in Iceland, specially after seeing your video. Can you tell me please how you got to the northern starting point? I think i will try to go SOBO as well and sart from your point. But it looks like there is no airport or bus station, so how you came to that starting point? Thanks
Beautiful video! I’m planning on hiking almost this exact hike this summer, but am currently having issues figuring out how to send food resupply packages… Would you mind sharing how you did this? Greatful for any help! ☺️
Brilliant video beautifully shot! Where can I get some logistics on your hike? Like re-supplies etc. looking to do some hiking in Iceland in a couple of months and this would be an epic route.
Hey, thanks for comment. I haven't got a write up, but if you have questions about how I prepared the hike feel free to shoot me a mail at jb.heurtel@gmail.com :)
Hello Jean! I'm a keen long distance hiker.. and find Iceland just amazing - although I've just been there in 2021 to see the volcanic eruption. WOW! However, I'd love to hike across Iceland like you. Is there any way that I can contact you other than here? I'd like som hints, tips, etc. I hope you see my comment and have time to reply.
Superb footage! Excellent choice of background music and spectacular scenery. I am very thankful for being able to watch this from Australia! Thank you!
Good vid. Harmen Hoek really got the hiking community more exposure on youtube. You see channels now popping up frequently now with similar content. Love hiking
Way too few subscribers
Did you encounter with any storms? On such flat places i would be afraid of lightnings.
How incredible. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing! But one question…how on earth did you charge your drone?? 😊

Looks amazing
Waow a mazing...pemandangan yang luar biasa, i like'it...salam dari indonesia
Amazing footage. Is it legal to camp that way in Iceland? I thought that you could only camp in campsites
Awesome video! How did you manage food? Did you pack 16 days of food or did you found places to restock on the route?
Since I had about 1 kg a day of food, I sent food packages to a few places you can see on the map at the beginning :)
Incredible vlog and achievment. What did you do for food? What gear did you have for pack, tent, pad, sleeping bag? Any changes you would make?
Good quality, brother!
Great video! I am thinking of doing this hike, or a shorter north-south route. Can you say how you plan your resupply points and whether a shorter route is possible to cross north to south?
Amazing accomplisment
Great video you have inspired me to go here
Amazing! Quick question: Did you throw the ring in Mount Doom in the end?
❤🇮🇸 Phenomenal mate 👏👏
Hey you making another video soon ?
What kind of hike is that when you walk by roads and have food drops? Too much drone for me.
Thank you so much for sharing!! The beauty of Iceland, the hike you went on to see the country and yourself. It made me feel happy 🙏

Incredible, I don´t understand why you have only 247 subs. But you have one more now :D

For anyone that's going to do this hike (or similar crossing) - you an no longer do food pickups in landmannalaugar.
yup....
Hi Jean, what an amazing journey. I want to hike that trail and I have some questions. Could you help me please?
Brilliant video beautifully shot! Where can I get some logistics on your hike? Like re-supplies etc. looking to do some hiking in Iceland in a couple of months and this would be an epic route.
Köszönjük a csodálatos videót és beszámolót! Én is már nagyon kipróbálnám! Csak így tovább! A többi célod is fantasztikus!
Amazing
Do you have a writeup of this hike? I'm looking into doing the same one and any help would be appreciated!
