I really like to take dates along. a little date has the same amount of KJ as a banana!!! And it's not affecting your insulin level.
Researching on Tassie and ended up watching your video on Penang National Park. Nice detailed explanation on the hike, would like to do more hikes in Malaysia when I am back home.
Thank you, I'm doing the Nakahechi route in January. I'm just concerned about the bus stop, between Chikatsuyu and Hongu, I'm going to take a route deviation in order to take a bus. But you know something about the tickets or the schedule? Thank you so much
MT Fuji is amazing I can see it from my house
Fabulous, thank you!
Thanks for posting :) Heading out there this weekend
What specific date was this hike?
Amazing view. Thanks for sharing. 👍89
Such stunning views! You’ve really captured the essence of these landscapes. Incredible videos! sub & 👍128
I remember when u did the nakasendo trail . Now I’m going to do it next year
Interesting pack. I hadn't seen it before. One thing I found for overnight or longer trips is that a slightly heavier pack with a good hip belt is more comfortable for me than a lighter pack without a good hip belt.
This is awesome bro. Appreciate this. Like how you have different gear and food.ill use some of your ideas. Cheers brother
I’ve loved your camping tips and reviews, it’s been helpful for someone new to the scene ☺️
Thanks Ria, you're welcome. Glad they're helpful.
Hi! Do ypu think it is necessary to bring an axe and shoe spikes? Also, do you think a 30 liter bag would be enough? Also may I know where in Shinjuku you bought the bag? Thanks!
Hi. Yes, if you're going to be climbing to any peaks while there is snow, I recommend crampons and an axe. With that said, I did manage to climb Chougatake in mid-Spring with microspikes however I don't think Chougatake is as steep or as high as the other peaks. 30 litre bag will do if you're staying in huts. I got my bag from a brand called Yamatomichi from the Kyoto store. I believe they sell to other distributors in Tokyo. Best of luck
Truly enjoy this video Alain. Lovely filmmaking too. Love your sense of humour, pretty funny, Thank you, 💛🙏☺️, umesh :)
Thank you very much.
25kgs! What’s in your pack?!? I’m heading off on the track end of October can’t wait
Mainly just food, lol. Well, it was winter which means more stuff is necessary.
Nice videos! Is the hiking track clearly visible for first timer? I mean do we can hike to this mountain without guide?
Yes, you can hike up with a guide. Can’t say how visible the track is when there’s no snow, but should be. There are normally tags on trees to indicate the track. Don’t need a guide, but I recommend doing some practice hikes if you’re new to this.
Thumbs up for Kewpie mayo + whisky combo 🔥
Alain I truly love your videos. They make me feel like I'm 20 again, on a hike with my friends... pretty much the best feeling ever. You've helped me get through a few long weeks of desk work, stoking the embers that will become my next hike, on my old man legs. Thank you!
Thank you Joe. I'm really glad my videos were able to help you and bring back some special memories. Comments like yours motivate me to keep making these videos.
Awesome hike. What time of year did the locals recommend is best for hiking there as far as weather and conditions?
All the info I got was from online, but my conclusion is that it will depend on you, with the exception of the winter season when the huts are closed. If just hiking around the Azusa river, I believe any time is suitable, but if you want to climb to the peaks and don't have the alpine gear or experience, then summer/Autumn (July to Nov) would be the safer season when all the snow has melted and you get more daylight.
wait you can drink the water from the river?
Not quite. I used a Sawyer filter.
military grade > low humidity and warm and repeal rain/water > price 450-900 EUR
Two years late to the party - but so glad I found this! The information is absolute gold, thank you for sharing <3
You're so welcome!
These are some epic scenes man!
Thanks man. You gotta go for yourself.
Really enjoyed the way you put this together man!
Many thanks
Those warm lights from Tokusawa lodge would have been a welcome sight! 16:19 Nice to hear the lodge managers were so kind to a weary traveller, 12 hrs trekking in unknown terrain is a feat even for you Alain (don't doubt you've done more though). Would have been nice to walk with you for part of the way 🙂
Thanks Jeremy. Tokusawa lodge was soo good. Would love to have you along next time.
Nice vid bro where can I get one of those hats?
Brand is called ‘Sundays’. Style is ‘French Legionaire’ hat. Someone online should stock it.
Looks amazing Alain!
Thanks Jerson ☺️
Hi Alain. Great content! Thanks for sharing! How come you stopped using your Macpac Pulsar Plus Jacket? I use the Pulsar (not plus) and I've taken it everywhere around the world, and I'm now on my second Pulsar jacket. Is the Pulsar Plus toasty and warm in any Winter situation? (The specs make it sound like it's even warmer than the Rab Generator Alpine, and warmer than the Arc'teryx Nuclei SV which are the warmest synthetic each of those companies have.)
Hey Adam. Actually, I’m still using my pulsar plus for a number of years now - it’s one of my favourite jackets. Not the best for sitting around camp though (so I bring a down jacket too), but it’s good for when you’re on the move - not too hot and keeps out the chill.
Thanks for the video sir! Cant wait to explore Japanese mountains next time.
I'm truly grateful that the google translate function exists and that many popular mountain huts are constantly updating their websites to be user-friendly. Sadly some huts still use the same interface as when they launched their websites in the 2000's and only accept reservations by phone.
Ya. Glad the web service is improving
Awesome vid bro, really useful info! Gonna use this for my future Japan trip adventures 🤞🏼
Thanks man.
This is so Tasmanian gothic. Love it. Can't wait to try the track for myself!
Go for it!
Ok, I'm officially so excited to give it a shot:) Thanks for sharing Alain:):):):)
Thanks Anna, hope the hike goes well for you. Take care
Your green screen shows an Aussie park, but the elevator music gives your location away. Is it safe to cook in an urban elevator and how do you manage the passengers safety? PS The anodised aluminium pots may give you Alzheimers but if you're mountain climbing you probably don't need to worry about that.
First know how to properly training tips to walk 50kms ...th-cam.com/video/XozDi20eOcI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oLjPV-BcSIFUg5qw I walked 30kms everyday for 30 days th-cam.com/video/QbXZ869cDpc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-eQoK8rytnYXy4Xu
it is a great video :) may I know is that most of your dinner is porridge? and what kind of meat u are having?
Meat hard to keep so get my protein intake mainly from protein powder every morning. But some meat is already freeze dried in my freezer dried meals for dinner. Breakfast is oats with protein powder.
I really enjoyed this mate, thanks. We are heading off to do this in a few weeks so appreciated you sharing your experience
Thanks. Hope you have an epic trip.
Yea MT.Fuji is pretty rough if you don’t have a lot of experience and like super cold on top of the mountain like negative degrees if it’s summer if is so hot is Japan but I fell like ten times going down and the hotels are really uncomfortable but it’s worth it because you get a beautiful view and you get to say you climbed mt.fuji which not a lot of people get to say.
Great Video and comments thank you for the extra information and what to take as in food and clothing safety first look forward to your next video Alain⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👏👏👏👏👏😎👍
Glad it was helpful!
how does the Mont Moondance 1 Tent work?
Does the job well. Good utilisation of space inside. Can fit my partner in there too with me. Good weight too. Uses ground sheet, then poles, tent body then fly. Reliable tent but does get some condensation on the inside.
Good job Alain
Holy shit 😲 this made me want to actually get in shape for the first time in my life so I can do this myself
Hope it helped :)
I just bought one for $50 (half price) at Anaconda. 6 minutes to boil 800ml with the lid on (inside) with a brand new gas bottle.
Great vid. Is that a GoPro? .. which model? Cheers!
Osmo action. I think better than GoPro.
Great video, thank you for sharing. My dad and I are coming to Tasmania for the first time in August and doing this hike. You said on one of the nights it was minus 40!!! 😮Did you mean minus 4? Because minus 40 is insanely cold haha 😅
lol. I was just exaggerating
