Loved the prehike reflection time. Sometimes I feel like living in a foreign country can be mentally taxing in ways I don't even register, so I end up, not burning out necessarily, just allowing myself a little more "laziness" at times. But it's so easy to stay in that place, and you working through those thoughts was such a good reminder that it's worth the extra planning to keep on adventuring, discovering. Also liked seeing the hike prep, and you talking about the little extra measures you took to be prepared, even on a day hike. Woop woop! Ok, didn't mean for this comment to become a novel lol awesome shots/editing etc. Glad i found this!
Oh shoot. Meant to ask a question. I've noticed a lot of people talking about renting a car as the best option for getting around Hokkaido in general. I'm going to fly up there from the Yokosuka area, and I would like to spend a little over a week, which makes renting a car slightly more expensive if I'm going to be doing a little traverse during that time anyway. Based on your adventuring around that area, would you recommend biting the cost and renting a car to make the most of it, or is it actually possible to enjoy around the parks and such with the limited public transport? Thanks for any input!
Hey Conor, awesome video and phenomenal views! I ran into your video because I'm planning a snowshoe/mountaineering trip there in March. Have you hiked this trail when it is under heavy snow? Is it doable as a thru-hike from Kurodake to Asahidake (looks like 10-11k or so) within a day? Any advice would be great -- thanks!!
Hey thanks for the comment! I haven't hiked this area in the winter but I know people ski and board around Asahidake. To snowshoe across the whole range would be a long, long day I would think. I wouldn't suggest it unless you were very experienced and knew what you were doing.
Woahhhh wonder how you film and edit your video 😮 great video!!
Spectacular stuff and a great effort. Very enoyable, thanks for taking me along.
Thanks Paul!
