La traversée des Alpes!!! Mon rêve! Go go go! ❤❤❤
So nice! So jealous lol. Geneva is on my bucket list. Sounds like an amazing trip! Have an amazing time❤
Missed the stream :(. But I’ll be following you along. Have a great adventure!!!!
Thanks, Anson! You have a wonderful summer, too! ❤️✌🏼
Have the best time!
Have a safe and great adventure! I've greatly reduced my screen time so missed the live stream. Will follow along on your journey as much as I can. Cheers!!
I wanted to explain my comment about the tape. You can re-wrap the tape off of the tape roll and onto your trekking pole. Wrap it below your handle, somewhere where it won't interfere. Wrap as much as you think you might need. I put duct tape on one pole and leukotape (for blisters) on the other. Whenever you need some just peel it off of the pole. This gives you less bulk in the pack but you are still bringing tape and it's in a convenient place.
Yeah, I understood what you meant. 😊 Wow, even Leukotape, hey? And duct tape? Wow. It’s certainly food for thought. Great idea, Phil. Thank you! I forgot to mention my rain gear in the live stream. Oops! And my camp shoes. Oops again! Oh well. It will be in the description of the video at least. Thank you so much for joining today, Phil. You’re the best. Oh, and thank you for being a Patreon supporter. Did I mention your name when I said thank you to some of the Patreon supporters? I hope I did. If not, I’m super sorry!
I missed your stream but I hope all goes well for you Christina and I will be watching out for your videos.
Great, Jimmy! Take care and have a great summer. I’ll watch for your comments on my summer video posts!
Hey Christina, wishing you safe travells on your latest adventure, will be looking forward to your updates. Have been slowly catching up on past videos and oh man, have to remember to check those community tabs, Im missing so much of you and others extra stuff. Raining today so watching some things and just missed your livestream. Also somehow missed your campout at the Pinery, so would have been there, but next time. Will be listening for you come September lol, take care and happy hiking!
Ken! Yes, come to the next group camp, please! March 29th, 2025 at The Pinery! Have a wonderful summer, my friend! ❤️✌🏼
I would love to see someone do the full hike and document it, I needed to quit it due to injury in Belgium
I missed the live stream...but i was hiking in the rain. Watching it now.
Hiking in the rain! Amazing! Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions after watching this. Take care, Deb! 🥰✌🏼
