    About to start watching this leg of your guys trip. Local to alberta. These are some harsh ass conditions to be doing the gdt in thus far. Pat on the back to both of you guys.

    What an adventure. Definately not all roses. I really enjoy the videos and its great with you two hiking together.

      Definitely NOT all roses!!! BBB Beautiful Brutal Baby for sure!

    You 2 are awesome. Love all your videos. See yah on the trail someday

    • @HikingAmerica

      Appreciate it! Yea for sure, after next year ( we have all trails set if all goes according to plan) the year after we are hopefully going to have a very interesting year with some top choice trails to do that we both are excited about. The list just continues to get longer and longer, and as it gets longer and longer and time goes by sometimes you have to add back in a trail you already have done too because you miss it so much!!

    Take care guys. Not such a great few days hiking. Really hope for better weather - Jasper is so pretty on a sunny day.

    The water crossings! Good thing you had your mighty rope. 😎. Keep the great attitude going and as I have said before, always an entertaining chatter. “Peace”

      Have to have fun in the miles with some good convo :)

    So impressive! Just thinking about the hyperthermia completely freaks me out. You’re an amazing role model.

    • @HikingAmerica
      @HikingAmerica  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank You, yea I have learned hypothermia is not a fun activity for sure!

  • @tropics8407

    Brutal cold....but it worked out well. Taking notes, wait for good weather. Glad you are alive 👏👏🙏🙏 laughing because...what good trail ? 😅😅

    • @HikingAmerica
      @HikingAmerica  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Trail?!?!?!?!? That's a real word????? To my eye it just seems like a blurry combination of figures!

  • @davidgreene217
    @davidgreene217 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Rain ponchos and NRS HydroSkin 0.5 Wet Socks might help keep you a little drier and warmer :)

    • @HikingAmerica
      @HikingAmerica  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea staying dry in the conditions of rain all day and carwash brush and then through in River Crossings there just was not a possibility to stay dry. It was just varying dampness levels, but thank you for the suggestion, might test some of those items out next time!

    Hope that the last sections were less brutal than what you’ve vlogged so far. I was shivering in solidarity while it’s 95 degrees F here🥶

    • @HikingAmerica

      Somehow "summer" continued to be WINTER in Canada, but we made our way thru it!

    What a journey. May need a Constantine dictionary for all your lingo. 😂 keep on stepping!

    • @HikingAmerica
      @HikingAmerica  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yea Magpie and I had this conversation the other day, it seems my language is a blend of different phrases from different areas thrown in with a little Constantine flavor so it is sometimes hard to decipher the meaning behind my words......

    Watching this gives me hypothermia. What a brutal and carwashy trail.
