Unnur is something special! So nice to see that you have watched it :) I am so happy w your channel that I have been sharing your videos w all my outdoor friends here in Brazil! Anxious about what comes next.
I can't wait to see your new trail videos, they are always so inspiring. I am also happy to see my favourite creators collaborating. Good luck on the trail.
“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
I actually shrieked when I saw you were doing another Thru. MORE ELINA TRAIL CONTENT!!!! I loved "It is the People" and your whole PCT series sooooo much. Can't wait to see what you do for this!
@@woahitstheillusion9749 I was specifically thinking of courses made by youtubers, which can easily be $500-$1000 per. I'm not saying it's not worth it or you won't learn enough to justify the price, just that $23 is very cheap for a course from a professional.
I’m so excited for you!! I was literally just wondering yesterday when you were going to hit the trail. As an American I’m living vicariously until this dumb country can get its act together 🙄
@@teslafudge1585 Time to take things in your own hands :)! That is what I try to do here in Poland 🇵🇱. I have a channel too, feel free to check out!! ☺️
So from my prospective, what made your PCT series so amazing was the story telling, which was so unbelievably amazing!!! Yes the video footage important but don’t focus so much on that with your amazing storytelling abilities!!!!!
Elina, I’m extremely thankful that I found your channel. I fell in love with your PCT documentary and your overall filmmaking and storytelling process. Your work is inspiring, and I hope to one day hike that PCT as well. Maybe videos on how to prepare for something like that? 😅 Thank you for being genuine with what you put out. 🙌🏾 Good luck on the Te Arraroa!
I did the tour aoteaora (bike tour) earlier this year. The food of new Zealand is so much better than in US. There is not always added sugar inside. This was great. Also look forward to wanganui river, it was a blast. Timber trail was also super nice by bike. I heard the hiking route on the south island is a lot more challenging than the bike route, but the south island was so so nice. Have a great start at the 90 mile beach! Cheers Jan
Have fun on the hike! Congrats on working with Macpac that's very cool. Course is priced right, will purchase. 24mm GM with A7S III, a gimbal and New Zealand scenery is gonna be out of control!
Yeah! It will be awesome to watch your videos of Te Araroa, I need some inspiration for next year (covid permitting). And congrats on all the partnerships/sponsors
Watch Stu Irving’s videos. He’s currently hiking the trail. Around the 5:00 minute mark he tells us what a local told him as he was driving him past a massive growling dog. Have a blast and be careful! Really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing!
Really Amazing! I am so Excited for you! You really inspired me to want to do the PCT, I have plans to do the PCT first in 2023 then the CDT in 2024 and then the AT in 2025 I do mostly Landscape photos / time lapses and plan on bringing about 10 pounds of camera gear when I go... I know it's crazy but the weight will so be worth it.
Elina i'm so so happy for you doing the Araroa as We all knew you would 😉 and really proud you have sponsors! !!! Can't wait to see your new adventure! NZ is on top of my list to visit. ... must be wonderfull. Love from Portugal
Great to hear you are starting the TA. I started Monday last week, cuŕrently in Pahia on a much needed rest day :-). It has been awesome, although rather tough walk to date. Best of luck Elina.
Excited to see you getting back on the trail. Loved the PCT vids. I'm returning to NZ soon after 25 years in Aus and need the kiwi inspo! I could be in Queenstown when you are. Let me know if you want a free room.
New Sub, i watched your vid month or so ago when you were trying to decide if you should do this hike or not, im glad you are. Not sure id even heard of this trail until i stumbled acros your video.......... Looking forward to your journey.
Ahh so stoked for your Macpac collab!! Congrats! How exciting! Edit: Just smashed through your course and it was so great! I'm feeling inspired to document and share my travels and will definitely revisit for my next adventure! x
Keep hiking...... Keep exploring...... i hope you will meet your blob again, its about the people..... im hiking and longdistance bycicling my whole life... i will follow you video's..... keep it up!!!!!
Yay I'm so excited to see this - I just returned from 13 months in NZ working abroad (from the UK) and want to go back and live there so bad! Maybe one day, but for now I am excited to see your journey!!
Congrats on the prototyping gig!! SO excited for you. Was planning on going to NZ to hike myself (German here!) so it will be peanut butter for the soul to see it being realised in another fantastic way. Enjoy it, we will be here to enjoy it in a few months
Holy shit Elina!!! that Macpac X Elina pack is massive news for you, and UL gear in the southern hemisphere!! for sure buying one!! Haha also love the Business Time sample and the 4:20 on the casio too! great vid.
hahaha "I am in a committed relationship with the trail." Love you Ellz! Gonna miss you, but hopefully will catch you at some point on the trail (during the glamping stages ofc) hehe xxx can't wait to see Te Araroa footaaaaaggggeee!
Whooo super excited. Love your videos. Recently listened to a podcast of someone walking te arraroa and I wondered what it must me like. I will definitely be watching!
girl, you inspire me soooo much! I got chills several times just by watching this video!! Hope you make a wonderfull trail and please come back to youtube as soon as possible to inspire people again and again with your adventures around the world!
Woohoo! Awesome news! MacPac, Supreme Coffee and Fix and Fog!!!!! Awesome sauce Elina. Super stoked for you :-) MacPac has been my core gear supplier since forever. If you could give them a nudge in the direction of cuben fibre gear,.... Arohanui. Enjoy the trail - Hikoi your hear tout
Tiptap, where/when can I buy the course? Btw, the A7S3 is a killer piece of machinery. It may overheat from time to time though. Looking forward to your award-winning documentaries. Stay safe, healthy, and happy ❤️
I cant wait for your next video!! Literally on the edge of my seat. Your videos are one of those videos where I make time for. Your amazing story telling and stoked personality are refreshing and compelling. Your videos are a good book you hate to put down and finish. Thank you :)
$23?! That is SO cheap! Typical online courses like this are well into the hundreds of dollars. I nice saw a course for $725! Makes it very inaccessible for people who want to do it on their own. But $23 is something I can do.
Hey Elina, good luck and safe travels on the thru hike. Looking forward to seeing the content you make because I definitely watched your PCT content a year after you ended up in British Columbia. Its dope that Jonny reached out to you and that you got to work with them. I have been following Jonny's work since he was working for vox and he's definitely an inspiring creator. Definitely thinking about purchasing your course. Cheers
So excited about your course, and the new Macpac kit. My first proper rucksac 30 years (ish) ago was Macpac - not sure if they are imported to the UK any more though (I’m in Scotland).
Awesome to see you getting back to the trails again! I am really looking forward to the films you make of this hike. Happy trails and safe journey from the Netherlands!
Sick!! Hope you have/had an epic hike! Probably a bit late now.... but check out Catalyst Stabilisation with the A7siii.......It doesn't replace having a gimbal, but for me it does replace it if you're trying to go super light weight.
Best wishes for your Te Araroa Elina. I believe you are made of the right stuff to achieve that trail enjoyably and successfully. Good health, keep safe and good luck.
Just rode the Timber Trail, pasted a couple who were 6 weeks into the TA. Unfortunately at the Timber trail lodge the lass got sick and they had to call her parents to come pick them up. Hopefully they come back when she's better and continue from where they were. Enjoy the walk. Some of my family members are starting from Bluff in early January so you'll probably cross paths
Elina, do you take the same size in the Nitro as you do in other clothes? I've heard some people saying to size up, and some saying not to (plus they're basically all blokes), so I'm a bit confused. Can't try it on as I live in the wrong country. Have an amazing hike, can't wait to hear about it!
Loved the PCT storytelling, felt super connected to your journey. Also half Asian Kiwi... but living in Aus. Wanting to hike PCT but due to COVID will probably start with a section hike of Te Araroa so keen as to see your TA journey unfold so that I can choose my Island (already leaning towards SI) and get the most out of my section hike. Keep up the good work, for keen hikers like me we consume all great media on thru hiking that we can and yours is so relatable and so so enjoyable 🥰
Can't wait to follow your journey on Insta, I wish you all the best on the trek, and I hope you make it to the end safe and sound! You got this, Elina!
Please don't put to much pressure on your self. I rather watch less videos, while you enjoy your hike, then you not enjoying it cause you feel pressured to make great videos. Also congratulations on the cooperation with Macpack
Thanks Elina for your awesome course on Bright trip, very helpful for building confidence and very well structured! I love the way you are speaking from your truth, nice to introduce intuition too, your videos are art and art is not from the mind but from the true being. I will finally finish some editing of my hikes ;)
Good luck girl! Loved your PCT, saw it at this years Mountain Film Festival. Quite inspiring overall, got me to work on my own Content while doing some hikes around South Island (Rakiura etc, check it out if you want) we are so lucky to be in this country tho!
You have a really unique way of telling a story through videography, for me that's reason enough to watch the course :) (if I have some sort of income soon that is)
you are cranking it mate, I needed to do your course before I walked TA, let alone before I started posting my vids a few months ago. So cool to see the hook up with Macpac also, they supported me with some great gear deals & some free stuff for my Long Way Home. Damn it makes me so tangibly want to get out there again, I shall live vicariously through your journey, like I did when I was training, I followed the journey of a german woman, Bettina, it was so addictive, yehaaa you’re on your way!
Elina: it is $23 usd I think which is a bit of an investment
Me going crazy on how affordable that is
T H I S
Right! I paused the video and bought the course!

Pro tip: Roll your ankles less this time around.
Love you! You're going to do great. Cant wait to hear all the stories!
*who does this guy think he is*...
... Oh, it's Lucy, just the one who found me crying every time I rolled my ankle. LOVE YOU TOO.
I was shocked when you said the course was $23, that's so affordable! Some of the short courses in my field are $700+
Probably because you got an actual accreditation

Ahhh thanks mate! And thanks for the rec eh 😏

I got a kick out of your dad 👍 LOL

I hope next year...have fun on it...Roofless!!!!!!’
Looking forward to seeing the videos and updates of the trail from your perspective and also to bring back memories of my own trail.
The story comes first. “ What’s my why?” So powerful in its simplicity, so hard to find on TH-cam, why I’m a subscriber.
Good on you it will be nice to follow a thru hike from a locked down UK.
Yeah! It will be awesome to watch your videos of Te Araroa, I need some inspiration for next year (covid permitting). And congrats on all the partnerships/sponsors
Yeahhhh. A new adventure and im excited. I actually love NZ so please show us EVERYTHING :D
So excited!!! (and jealous)
Best of luck and happy trails ❤️
Congratulations on sponsorships and taking on another epic adventure cant wait to see whats next
