He was 28 at the time and had problem skin. He started to use some awful chemical product (think it was called Proactive). The chemicals worked, but nobody needs to put chemicals in their body. I begged him to try Veganism. I have been a vegetarian, now vegan for 35 years. He went vegan shortly after meeting me. He gave up fast food, meat, dairy, eggs, oily food, and a lot of sugary products. He is now 50 and has had perfect skin for 22 years. Just a thought - plus, good for the animals, and the planet.

She was running on adrenaline and went through "trauma bonding" with a narcissist. I do find it very sad actually. She is caught in a sticky web and doesn't know it. There are many very good educational videos on the magnetic draw between an empath and a narcissist. The empath always ends up with the short end of the stick.

It gave me a connection to nature that, to this day (30 years later!) remains so strong and powerful. It changed how I think about how I use resources, view consumerism, treatment of animals etc.

It's very brave to still let you publish the video even though she wasn't sure about it, and I love that. She is helping making humans human again and one day we will see someone online or in a magazine with broken out skin and we won't think twice about it. I do hope the stress and the blemishes will fade because everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin.

    It made me sad to see that Christine's first hike was so poorly planned. At first I thought you were just inexperienced but after reviewing your channel and Instagram I realized that you are actually quite experienced and possibly a bit of an athlete. I'm an older man in my mid 60's and in my youth I would do multi-day hikes into the wilderness mountains of British Columbia. The geography is not too disimilar to Sweden. Friends would see the many pictures I would shoot and wished to come out on day hikes or multi-day hikes after they saw the beautiful lakes, mountains and alpine meadows. I always respected the novices, they were not usually fit, I always tried to prepare them and planned according to the weakest member. I was also an athletic type with a regular routine of 3 to 4 hours a day. You may have guessed that I didn't approve of this ambush hike with Christine and found your "tough love" comment surprising and disturbing.

      I understood completely. You took a physically harrowing experience and turned it into a positive. And I appreciate your genuine experience. I’m 67 years old and I’m well aware of life’s gifts through pain and suffering. We get plenty of that through loss of relationships, health, wealth, loved ones through death, fire, abandonment, divorce, accidents, illness, childbirthing, infertility and poverty. Why create it artificially through an activity that could’ve been just as inspiring and life-changing by being properly prepared? That three day hike in Sweden needed a few months of concerted focused preparation and perhaps break in the shoes before pushing the body to such extremes. I think it’s disrespectful to our bodies. It creates cortisol and adrenaline which are harmful. I speak from experience too. Again, thank you for sharing.

    I’m on Team Christine. Kalle, a bit of advice from a 67 year old woman. You have testosterone in your blood, woman have estrogen and we lose iron-rich blood every month. We do not have the same reserves as you, How will she trust you to go on another adventure with you? She deserved the respect to be properly prepared for this hike with short hikes to begin gaining strength, endurance and proper shoe wear. I know you meant well but you are young and naive about woman’s physical differences. I, too, once went on a paid three day adventure with a group down a steep graded canyon. Within the three hours, my legs almost gave out on me and my body went into shock. I was not physically prepared and I was upset that the people on this excursion had labeled it as a ‘Beginners Backpacking’. Please, give her a month or two to build up her endurance and try out her shoes if ever there is a next time.

    Besides the fact that I absolutely love the video's, seeing 7 x 2 unskippable ads kinda ruined the vibe the video has. If it helps you, I would gladly watch some ads before or after the video, but 7 x 2 in between is just too much to feel the vibe this video has. It's a shame, cause it has so much potential! Don't see it as negative comment, but a healthy criticism to help your channel grow ;) Cheers and have fun there in Sweden :D

    Thank you so much for taking me on this journey with you. I loved that you said it is what's in between, not just the end. In the states we have a few transformative outdoor journeys that can make or break (a relationship too). One that I've taken a couple of times was into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area between Minnesota and Canada. Long days of rigorous paddling, portaging the canoe and all belongings and food, and sleeping/living outdoors. Not everyone can accomplish this...nor would even think to do it. Congratulations.

    Christine you did a fantastic job for your first hike,, and can be very proud of yourself. The emotions you had were natural. I hiked with my husband many years ago in South Africa in the Drakensburg mountain, we did a day hike (I had never hiked before) and with our 2 children who were very young then. We felt very tired but elated and slept on the mountain, no tent, just sleeping bags. It was invigorating. I am sure that next time you go on a hike it will be much better as you know more about it now. The views were spectacular and your friends that were with you were very nice people too. I am sorry to say I have forgotten the name of your dog, who did an amazing job.

    I once walked a mountain in the middle of winter, half way up we reached snow that was up to my thighs, and winds of 100mph and more, there was lots of tears and pain, in that instance I swore it was the worst experience of my entire life, and I didnt think I had the strength to get myself off that mountain. Now, 3 years after completing that walk, I look back on it as THE most challenging thing I've ever faced, I learnt a LOT about myself that day, that I'm a lot stronger than i gave myself credit for, and I now know what it feels like to get to that point where your convinced you have no more left inside of you, but you surprise yourself and muster the strength and courage to keep going until the end. I've never had to push myself so hard in all my life, but I'm glad I had the opportunity to experience my abilities, because I really surprised myself, and I now look back on that day with such pride and happiness, a day I once deemed the worst experience of my life turned into the most proud moment of my life, the most challenging, and by far the most fun, with the most lessons learnt. Its good to test your limits, it's how we grow.
    As for your skin, before he mentioned your skins stress response I was literally thinking about how beautiful you looked while out camping and hiking! Social media is COVERED with fake lives and women being unrecognisable from their natural selves, but you are TRULY naturally beautiful, and your 'bad skin' didnt even register on my radar, it's not something I see when I look at you, your stunning. But thank you for being so open about your insecurities, I know it's not easy, channels like this are a breath of fresh air due to the realness of what you show, no smoke or mirrors. Keep up the amazing work. Much love xxxx

    It's a beautiful place and hiking further north is a dream of mine! But I have to say, one thing I hate about outdoors culture is when outdoorsy guys take inexperienced girlfriends out without preparing them first... You should at least know what you're getting into. I hate that this leaves the less experienced dependent on the experienced person who knows the route, the gear, their needs, etc. Preparing a trip is part of the fun! And knowing your gear and route is important. My boyfriend's first overnight hike was a ten day, wild camping, tour du Mont Blanc and it was great because he knew what he was getting into and researched and prepared his gear to suit himself and the trip (and I told him to have a look at ultralight hiking forums when he was researching). She could have at least broken in her shoes before or found something that worked better for her...
