Episode 2= fantastic! I love the shots and the mix between music, talking nature sounds etc. perfection! I also like how you are not glamorizing the hike, some sections are awesome, some are not, blowdowns suck, bugs are nasty but alpine lakes are glorious and the views are insane. Thanks for another great video Darwin!
I absolutely fell in love with the Bob last summer. I was based out of West Glacier but kept going back to the Bob over and over again, accessing from the east side. Tons of really cool forest service cabins and some of the best horse camps I’ve ever seen. I would go days without seeing another soul, just me and the pup. I did have a couple sketch encounters with grizzly bears but comes with the territory. Thanks for the great content!
Nice new style shot talking to camera at the mini-break with Juice. Taking your jacket off, into pack, and getting it back on again. Something different, good idea 👍
Darwin and a couple of others hike for my old self, vicariously. And since I can't go, I really look forward videos such as this. Thanks Darwin and the others.
@@theamericanhiker9655 You never told the reason why you can't 'afford' to do a thru hike in your initial post so @Andrew Pritchett isn't missing your point.
Thank you for this video. I am planning to thru-hike the PCT this year and the closer I get to the date the more scared I get. Watching your videos has reminded me why I wanted to hike it in the first place. It is easy to get all caught up in the planning that goes in to it. Thank you Darwin.
Darwin you inspired me years ago to want to hike the AT and after 3 years of planning and wishing….I’m starting in a few weeks. Hope all is well on the CDT and maybe I can experience that too one day !
Hey Darwin! The past few months have been really tough on me, but slowly i’ve been parsing through, and backpacking has emerged as one of the few things about me that I wouldn’t let go of, no matter what. I just want to thank you for all of the effort you put into sharing your experience. Your effort literally helped me find a part of myself out there in the country. Thank you so much. Happy trails :)
Really loving your videography here. I loved your PCT videos but these are even better. Love the amazing nature shots. I am glad you waited til after the hike to produce your videos.
Glad to see you back out!! I've been watching your videos for a few years as I got into section hiking (in my 50s). Seeing you get out during these isolated times allows us to live vicariously through you. Thanks. (Although I will be hitting Ansel Adams for a week in July).
Seeing your videos before I dove headfirst into multi-day hiking this summer compared to after are so night and day. I had so many misconceptions and doubts about what I was capable of until I actually got on the trail. Now I’m planning to do a few quick thru hikes on the Bartram and Foothills trails this year!! Keep up the great work on the videos and hike on!!
Darwin, thanks so much for sharing all of your hiking adventures and knowledge with the TH-cam community. I have watched your videos for a while now and have learned so much as a hiker and backpacker from them!! I also really appreciate the attention to detail you put into shooting and editing your videos. It’s been awesome to watch you both on TH-cam and now follow your podcast regularly. Cheers!
Another great series, always informative and entertaining. I so look forward to a series with your wife and little one and how you prepare, and overcome those specific and different challenges presented as a couple with kid(s).
Hey Darwin, I and few crew members actually cleared that section of trail you were on after Dean Lake coming down from the pass. Stayed at Pentagon for about a week.
I can't believe that your Enlighted Equipment pullover is still holding up over so many miles. That's amazing and really speaks to the quality of it. I might have to get one.
Thank you for sharing your hike on TH-cam, including all of the nonglamorous parts like the mosquito attacks, blowdowns, and weed growth. It's so helpful for viewers that are new to hiking to realize that those awesome views and scenery you're enjoying comes with more sacrifice than just the lack of cozy hotel room. --- Hopeful #ATclassof2022
Beautifully filmed and edited! Even though I started hiking for the mountains and wilderness. Almost all I remember and think back on now are the people and friends I met along the way. Is it the same for you?
Really digging the new series. Love the little shots of camp and lunch and town. This feels like the full package presentation. Nice job. Long time viewer. . . always a fan.
That wet-water is the most common type I have seen on the trails. In fact, I've yet to see the dry-water type, but I'll keep watching! Maybe when you get further south?
Another great one, Darwin. Watching your footage is a very nice way to get me pumped up for my first ever thru-hike next month. Looking forward to the next episode.
TH-cam wasn’t showing me your videos until Ep 3 so catching up, but absolutely loving this! If I had to do any of the thru hikes the CDT appeals to me most since it’s the most isolated.
Yeah... I'm pretty sure YT is Shadow Banning my videos to subscribers. Sooo many viewers have sent me messages about the same thing. Glad you found them & are digging them tho! 🤙
"I'm pretty sure Montana is the buggiest state that I've ever hiked through." Just wait until you've hiked the southern portion of the Florida Trail (FT) in the summer. You're in for a real treat. ;.)
I’m enjoying watching you it’s quite a flashback of memory. My wife and I did the first 400 miles of the CDT in the 90s. Started in Waterton ended at the bottom of Yellowstone. State of the art equipment was our Dana design still water backpacks, 6.5lb empty, base weight of 40 pounds, we must’ve been pretty Studley to carry those. Glacier was like a resort compared to Bob Marshall. At the time the trail head at the Bob Marshall was not well marked it took us a day to find the trail from the campground next to the road. I don’t know if they still do this but they used to take the “bad bears” out of Yellowstone and glacier and relocate them to the Bob Marshall.
The extra miles you put in for videography probably make you more tired. It makes for a terrific video btw. I hope your trip is truly blessed and that you stay happy and healthy. Sure wish you’d share your cold soaking meal recipes, with your quality/taste opinions . I get that one has to hike their own hike; but, your opinions on the pros and cons of your hike and kit would be a good thing. Thanks for sharing this adventure. Texas
Way to go Darwin. Looks like a tough but rewarding few days on the trail. “The juice is worth the squeeze”, please tell me Juice has that tattooed on himself 😂
Yeah, that wet water gets to me too. Fun to drink (wet is good!) but not so much in socks and shoes. Once you get to the southern desert, of course, you only get the dry water . . . :)
Very informative videos. Your detailed descriptions are excellent. I enjoy these videos very much although I don't plan to do a similar backcountry venture. There is much to learn from your videos. I apply what I can to my own woodlands region, here in the Lake Superior and Huron watershed.
Thanks for sharing! Try a lighter color hoodie. It makes a big difference with heat from the sun and you get a lot more deer fly attention with darker fabric.
Im kinda digging the new format. Seen so many videos where its 20 minute video and its just 1 day of hike and I get every detail of the day. Not to be rude but I kinda just want the cliff notes and scenery. I miss Glacier. If nothing else in life Ill do the CDT part just through it.
I enjoyed every second of this! Just Awesome! I bet going through all the fire damage and blowdown felt like walking through a grave yard. .Kinda spooky!
Damn Darwin! I didn't know they had "wet water" out west. I thought that was only an east coast thing. 🤣. You desert hikers have found the secret. 😂. Beautiful terrain either way.
That lake looked awesome! Too bad it was after a long hike up an exposed section and it was freezing cold when they got there. I'll bet it felt good anyway to have a quick dip.
Darwin, was wondering if you might do an updated camera setup video in the future? Your most recent in depth camera setup video was with the EOS R, but I know you have been favoring the EOS M6 Mark II for your last several hikes. Would love to see and hear a description of your camera, lens, filter, etc setup. If you think it's something your audience would be interested in. I know I would be. Looking to up the quality of my own content, the GoPro Hero 7 just didn't cut it on my AT thru this year. 😂
Really surprised to see such beautiful scenery, next to the canadien border, makes me wanna hike there! Is it possible to know which date you started your trek, so we can plan ours? Thanks and have a great hike!
Happy New Year from Central CT! 🥂 Another excellent trail vlog! Thank you!! 😁 Do you recall how buggy it was in S. New England late spring & early summer? I dare not go outside w/out a bug net on! 👾🕸
Crazy stretch in through there man! Always good stuff! I am curious how hard it is to keep on trail through different sections? Water crossings and such seems some spots you could lose your way. I'm sure you guys have Nav but cant be easy in spots im sure. Everything looks the same. Beautiful views man! Look forward to epi 3. Stay safe! Hike on!
Episode 2= fantastic! I love the shots and the mix between music, talking nature sounds etc. perfection! I also like how you are not glamorizing the hike, some sections are awesome, some are not, blowdowns suck, bugs are nasty but alpine lakes are glorious and the views are insane.

I loved the mix of audio as well
Music is great!

"Hard, tough, gorgeous, rewarding..." The anthem of thru hiking if there ever was one. Nice vid as always, Darwin. Gorgeous indeed.
Nice new style shot talking to camera at the mini-break with Juice. Taking your jacket off, into pack, and getting it back on again. Something different, good idea 👍
As someone who can’t afford to do a thru hike like this i absolutely love these vids Darwin! This country is so beautiful
Glad you’re digging em’! 🤙
Most people that thru hike can’t afford it either 😂😂😂 trust me
@@andrewpritchett262 well I mean I can’t afford to quit a job I have a house in a family ha but you’re missing my point

Thank you very much! ❤️
Your opening scene inspired me to make a cup of ☕. See how much influence you have on us.🤣
Keep 'em coming. Thanks.
Enjoy your video as always. “Wet cold water” just made me smile 😊
Your story is outdoor evolution. Glad you are appreciating the zeros! Thanks for creating!

That's pretty cool. You met Daisey! I loved following her thru hike the AT. Very hopeful
This video is a really excellent example of my favourite style and format of a thru hiking video .
I have been following your adventures for years. These are the best videos you have produced. Well done my friend.
Geeeez, it's so breathtaking! Thanks for allowing us to be with you on this amazing trail!
Your a legend Darwin. Hope to see you on the trail! That lake was absolutely a jewel. Jim
Very nice, thanks for taking us along, love watching these videos
Great video! Sleeping next to the red canister. Great idea. Thanks for the new adventure footage. Really digging it!
Glad you enjoyed! 🤙
Bear spray makes the best tent mate. Loving this series!

Making me excited for some warmer weather. Currently -16F here, and I can't wait for my next backpacking trip.

Did the AT this past year. The CDT looks great! Headed there next:) Thanks for the video.
HAWKEYE
Darwin thank you for the new video and giving me something positive to think about hiking backpacking being outdoors look forward to episode 3
Another great vid! Can't wait to see the complete journey!
Very happy to be watching a thru hike series on your channel again! Really enjoying it!

“We don’t really know what’s going on out here. We just go with it.” Same buddy, same 😆🤷♀️
REAL LIFE...
Thank you for sharing this adventure. Beautifully done.
Thank you!
That beat drop at :59 👌 Another good one buddy! It's hard to do The Bob justice.
Daaaaaaa Bob!
Daaa Bob!

really diggin' the sound track for your CDT through hike. thanks for letting us follow along!
Nice3 too see your Tent getting put up....Nice Job Guys...Km
Incredibly beautiful. I enjoyed this Darwin. Thanks, Kim
This just feels different, loving it!
Glad you’re digging it! 🤙
The juice is on the loose!
Wow, those views are majestic. ❤
These videos remind me that there's a less serious side of life that can be found while living out of a backpack.
Sad to say spring is peak bug season in the north. They ease off as the summer goes. One disadvantage of sobo. Maybe better than snow. Great videos.
Another good word for wet Water is Molten Ice. Montana is a beautiful state. I’m hoping to do an out and back of the beaten path trail in July!
Awesome video D! Great music choices to match the scenery. Made me crave it again! 🤘🕓
Thanks Dude 👍
Thanks so much for sharing your hiking adventure, great video.
Amazing video, gets me so amped up for my coming thru hike of the kings trail here in Sweden! What is the white stuff you are eating?
Beautifully done Darwin
Love the effort and quality put into your videos. Keep hustlin!
I appreciate that! Thanks for noticing! 🤙
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Makes me wanna get outside of Minnesota for some epic hikes like that 👌🏼
Excellent video, well worth the wait.
Glad you think so! 🤙
Beautifully filmed and edited! Even though I started hiking for the mountains and wilderness. Almost all I remember and think back on now are the people and friends I met along the way. Is it the same for you?
Wow! Great views. If you only have one life to live…Darwin, you made some great choices. Happy Trails and thanks for the inspiring videos!!!
It's super cool to see you working with companies in the field to help dial it In congratulations
Thank you Darwin. Great videos. Safe travels.
Really digging the new series. Love the little shots of camp and lunch and town. This feels like the full package presentation. Nice job. Long time viewer. . . always a fan.

I’m not sure…. But if your doing all the editing yourself…..your doing a GREAT job….Darwin episodes we love …. Trek safe brother
I'm a one man band my friend. Hike, Shoot, Edit, Publish, Comment... 😂
catching so much nostalgia, love seeing what feels like home once again!
Another great one, Darwin. Watching your footage is a very nice way to get me pumped up for my first ever thru-hike next month. Looking forward to the next episode.
@5:51 how is that not Mogwai playing!? Lol. Love the music. Can’t wait for the videos.
Love Mogwai!!! ❤️
@@DarwinOnthetrail I see you not only are amazing hiker but have excellent musical taste as well!
Spectacular! Thanks for uploading Darwin.
You definitely put in some hard work, thank you for sharing spectacular views with us. Stay safe and be careful
You bet

Just AWESOME out there! Hope to see the Bob some day. 👍👌🍻
This video was just what I needed after a long week. Thanks D$!!
Keep these videos coming! Best backpacking videos on TH-cam right now!
You complain of the flies and weeds, but I can hear lovely birdsong in your video! That would be worth the bugs for me. Beautiful country!
I really enjoyed this new format with some other hikers. I thought there's more comunication and seems more spontenious too. Keep it up D
Glad you enjoyed it!
Please explain what you are eating. Cold soaking? What is it? No BRS stove?
Another stellar vid Darwin. Keep em coming. Thanks
"I'm pretty sure Montana is the buggiest state that I've ever hiked through." Just wait until you've hiked the southern portion of the Florida Trail (FT) in the summer. You're in for a real treat. ;.)

Many people say the Western wet water is the wettest of the wet.
That lake looked awesome! Too bad it was after a long hike up an exposed section and it was freezing cold when they got there. I'll bet it felt good anyway to have a quick dip.
Damn that area is gorgeous in glacier.
Oh Yeah!!!
