Woooh. Epic. With that early start and this year's snow levels you basically walked on snow the whole way. Respect.
Thank you. The snow made it one hell of a hike.
that brought tears to my eyes. You sir, are LIVING! Thanks for sharing your journey. Peace
Dude, I watch this all the time!
I’ve watched this about 50 times. Magnificent.
Wonderful! Thank you! You’ve watched it more than me then 😉
Thanks for keeping the video short. Not easy compressing 4 month in a few minutes
It was a challenge cutting it down without leaving great parts out! Such a diverse trail.
I didn't want it to end.....Epic
every solo hike you do , you step one level up in higher consciousness and reality of this universe
Jimbo powermeowww lol no
john williams Why not?
john williams fucking bot
Whelp the algorithm suggested this to me 5 years on.....fantastic video. Beautifully edited and spot on music accompanying it. A belated congrats on a wonderful video and thru hike
F’in Epic Tim. I’ve watched this 4-5 times now. This is the type of trip you look back on in your life and realize YOU made your life worthwhile. A dream trip for me lived through your video. Thank you.
It was an incredible journey all by God’s grace. Thank you for the kind words.
Just finished your video. We actually met in Montana. I was that asian dude at Benchmark Ranch
Of course, I remember you! I hope your hike went well.
benchmark was awesome! such nice people and I finally got to take a shower.
😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hell of a trip Kid. Thanks for taking us along.

Truly an epic video my friend. Thank you so much for sharing. Awesome photography. You have a great eye for the beauty and magnitude of the CDT. Be safe out there. 🤗
Ronald, thank you for the kind words. It was an incredible trail and I loved being able to share the sights with others.
Im a former PCT Hiker. Trail Name-Dallas. I have to say I love your video. Im doing the CDT this year and I can't wait. You keep trekking.
Best of luck on your CDT thru! Thanks for the kind words.
Absolutely breath taking. I was planning PCT for 2020. Now I am in doubts.. :-)
I'm planning to do the CDT in 2021 and man this brought tear to my eyes. So beautiful and I can't wait to see it myself.
Total respect, that was a brutal and lonely adventure. Congrats and thanks for sharing your journey with us.
G'day from Australia 👣🇦🇺🐢💚
Incredible! Footage was stunning, thanks for sharing.
Incredible hike! Thanks for sharing that gorgeous grandeur with us.
Watched this 3 years ago. Still gives the same chills. Good for you man. Way to persevere
This was so well done! Thank you for sharing and inspiring!
This video never gets old.
Great video, makes me wanna uproot and thru hike right now
Even as I can’t imagine how brutal and hard it must have been at times - it looks even more epic! What a journey, thank your for taking us along!
Awesome. Still love seeing sll that land we haven't screwed up yet. Followed "Wired" Erin when she hiked the CDT and I know alot of this is tough, unmarked trail and looks like you had just a ton of snow days. Brutal but amazing I'm sure. Lots of real long solo sections for you and you gotta be strong. Lots of respect man, Peace, Wheelchair John in Idaho :)
Thank you!
You're vides are stunningly beautiful. Well done Tim.
Best hiking video I have seen. Thanks for putting it together.
Thank you, Steve!
Thanks! I love the humble stance and beautiful landscapes
It is a good thing that I hate cold and snow... that keeps me from thru-hiking something else than the AT. Great video, so much beauty on this trail.
The rest of us a month behind you thought you guys were nuts lol. Awesome vid. Thanks for the nostalgia :)
lol it was a bit nutty, to say the least. Thanks! When did you start and finish the CDT?
@@timbloemendaal734 27 Apr to 14 Sep. Left Chama today that year ('17). Awesome memories. Making more in a few weeks, CDT to PNT, to the Pacific Coast 🤗, via East Glacier start.
Lol... it was nutty. Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Thank you for sharing, I never tire of its beauty.
Crazy early ... and crazy beauty ! Congrats and thanks for sharing.
Thank you! It was an amazing trail.
Hey Tim! Just wanna say thanks for this video. I’m FINALLY setting out on the CDT this coming year, and with it, completing the triple crown. I’ve watched this video easily a hundred times and I just find myself keep coming back to watch again. Such an amazingly simple yet emotion charging video for me. Cheer bro. Happy trails
-Sorority Steve AT’16, PCT’21
All the best this next year! Thanks for dropping the line and best of luck on the CDT. One of my favorites if you haven't seen it: th-cam.com/video/UISRi3ZoveM/w-d-xo.html
@@timbloemendaal734 thanks brother! I appreciate the thought
I just finished up a video of my AT thru-hike and stumbled across this. So awesome man! Super well made. That trail looks spectacular.
Nicely done. That's quite a leap from the AT to the CDT with such an early start (and finish!). Brought tears to my eyes. I hated your "homecoming" until I saw the dog....
Beautiful Videolog / Story ... 2 thumbs up for the epic mix of M83
When they say an epic journey, they mean your thru hike 2017. What a snow year. Thanks for bringing us along.
Haha thanks Foster. It was an amazing and brutal journey.
One of my favorite hiking videos. Thanks for the inspiration!
Congrats!! You did it!
Thank you bro for made this video.. I hope i can see this beauty with my own eyes..
Thank you! Even if you can do parts of it, it's an amazing trail.
Don't just live to work, live to live! This is spectacular! The scenery and your fearless attitude, it's great! It's truly amazing to see Americas wild side and not just the city scape
Thank you! It was an amazing journey, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Such an amazing video! My son will be hiking the CDT this year and this gives me some perspective on what he will experience. Thank you so very much. Congrats on your hike.
Thank you! Best of luck to your son, Denise. It's an amazing journey and I'm sure he appreciates your support.
AWESOME is an understatement!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with the world.
Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Yay, I am so HAPPY to find this friend! It's Brave (AT) !! Love this and hope you are well, thanks for the inspiration. Hugs!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience
Tim .you nailed it,one of the best thru hike videos ever made ,from the camera motion scenery to the mundane things thru hikers do,you captured it all
Wow, the CDT looked the most difficult and challenging of APT & PCT. Thank you for sharing this and the music choices truly made this experience totally enthralling.
Thank you for the kind words!
Love your music man! kinda epic heroic style :D Grats u made it!
Thank you!
Amazing hike and amazing video. Impressive snowmanship, even for a Minnesotan. Quarantine viewing!
Before spring hiking the CDT ?,! Ice picks, shoe shoes..... I look at those vast mountains, above 9,000 feet and think --Yikes !,!, Hypothermia, frost bite... how did you ward it off ? Some of your speeches (?) seemed like , were either for epic effects ? Hey that was a pretty hard core journey at that time of the year, and so quick . Also... personally, I teared up seeing your Dad meet up with you for his short visit...if it was me, I would have needed it by that time, to have my cheering section lift my spirits. That was a good call on his part. 😎
Everytime this gives motivation. Great job.
Hey amigo, gotta tell you this vid is at the top of stack of vids !!!
I believe ur choice of music really puts a serious polish to it... utterly amazing dude !!!!! Never heard M83 b4 but it leaves a lasting impression 👍😊☺️😎
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you for posting this! I did the CDT alone in 2018 and keep finding myself wanting to get on trail again
Did you Northbound in 2018?
epic. the san juans terrify me. you're a trooper. though you got all that snow in the beginning that turned into so many flowers after. looks like just the most beautiful scenery and life. amazing job man
Thank you! The San Juans were brutal, to say the least.

Thank you! It's an incredible journey.
Thank you for putting in the time to record for so many months to make this video. I can't get enough of watching this video and your AT. video. I hope I get to have the same experience you did. Make it to the Triple Crown with the PCT!

Thank you!
Extremely moving my friend, holding back the tears . Camera skills are epic . Music is mesmerising . Very well done. Most views I've seen hiking cdt. ✌out
Thank you!
Wow. Thank you for this. What a journey.
Stunning! An absolute pleasure to watch and listen to. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching, Jim!
Beautiful video man. Looks like you had an amazing trip. Thank you for sharing
Thank you! It was a brutal yet beautiful journey.
Lovely Video Tim. Thanks for putting it together
Thank you, Bonnie!
When I saw Twin Lakes, CO it took me back to the time I summitted Elbert and stayed at the Twin Lakes Inn. Super cool place, and super beautiful environment. Looks incredible in the snow.
I’ve watched this video half a dozen times, and linked it to friends even more. I think it was the first CDT video I watched, but still the best. Noticeably the best edited and put together, by a long way.
I’d like to find myself doing one of those triple crown thru hikes in that country of yours one day.
Any new hikes or videos in the works? Hope you’re doing well.
Thank you for your support and encouragement to continue to produce videos. Jon, if you have the opportunity to do one of the hikes, take it. It is an incredible journey/learning experience/memories... I was out west tramping around for two weeks in August and have yet to compile a video, hopefully can make it soon! Happy hiking - Tim
Tim Bloemendaal, looking forward to it. I’ve set myself up for notifications!
Awesome video. I don't know much about the CDT so I loved watching this!
Thank you!
thank you for sharing your adventure!
So beautiful. Thank you.
Wow you just made me feel like a wimp! I should hit Colorado about May 20th and was worried about getting there to soon. Awesome video!
lol, we both were probably getting there too soon.
Fantastic scenery, what an awesome adventure.Thanks for posting!
Just finished my a.t I can't wait!
I enjoyed watching your video Candlemaker. I enjoyed hiking the AT with you the year before. Your friend, Christmas Tree
Thank you, sir! Yes, I enjoyed our time shared on the AT as well. I hope you are well. It's good to hear from you.
Cool video Tim! I thur hiked the CDT NOBO in 2016 and I could remember so many of those spots in all the states! My favorite trail out of the Triple Crown! I think we used the same shelter...MLD Dou MID? Happy Trails! Bandit
Thank you, sir. I'm glad the video could spur lots of memories. It was an incredible trail. Yes sir, MLD Dou MID.
I loved the video, thanks!
Beautiful, US you have a very gorgeous wilderness to see.
Thanks for sharing, what an amazing trip and what for amazing Pictures. One day i hope i'll have the chance to hike one of the three big ones in the US. Until then please continue to make Videos Like this...to keep me hungry;)
The hardest part is leaving comfort and taking the first step. I simply say, create the opportunity.
Beautiful stuff, man. I'm planning a thru-hike years from now. Seriously considering the CDT over the PCT. The nature of the CDT looks more like my native Norway than the PCT does. Colorado looks mint, and Yellowstone is a huuuuge bonus.
Thanks for this video.
Beware, the CDT for a first long trail is a big task to undertake - doable, but will be a challenge. If this is what you're looking for, great!
Beautiful video! Thanks for sharing!
Perfect video! I love this!
wow congrats man thats awesome
Loved this! Thanks for sharing.
beautiful video!! I have to go next!!!
Great video man, love the music...its God music. Thank you for sharing.
Nice to see the view from a NOBOs perspective. I did it SOBO this year and had zero snow the deal with. Hard to believe this is the same trail
SOBO is the standard then? Did you take any snow equipment with you at all? When did you start?
SOBO used to be the preferred direction on the CDT according to past hikers. It's only been recently that NOBO has taken over. I took an ice axe and micro spikes in Glacier but never used it. I started June 29th
When did you finish?
Any idea why NOBO has taken over? Seems to me, judging from the snow alone, SOBO would be a no brainier.
Check out Sie's channel, he answers pretty much any question you could think of and has a lot of follow up videos!
Congrats man, great great video. Cheers from Montreal, Canada
Marvellous. Completely fucking spectacular. Totally lost my shit at the end. Bravo.
Congratulations! Thanks for posting.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely wonderful, and I love the music. When's your next hike?
Your videos are the best!!!
Beautiful video, thank you.
Wow epic journey & music🤩✨ Thank you for sharing
Awesome! Well done sir... thanks for sharing your journey.
Thank you!
