So, I'm heading out on an overlanding trip from home in Oxford to Cape Breton next week, gonna do some trail maintenance and go running in some wilderness areas, and then end up at the seawall and spend some time up there. I'm considering taking my pruning shears and improving some of those bushwhacks a little. I wonder if you'd like to come say hi, and maybe show me your route? No worries if you're busy. Cheers, and thanks for the videos.
Love your channel and the quirky videos! Just watched your northern route 10 day hike. Pretty awesome. I know there are bears and coyotes in the highlands, what precautions do you take as we are thinking of hiking and overnighting on cape st lawrence. Are the horses running wild?
Thanks for watching! We usually carry bear spray on our bigger hikes but bears run before we see them usually. The horses are free roaming during the warmer months, latest we seen them was November.
That trail is amazing. I am really thinking about doing this in 2023. I have been on plenty of 3 - 7 days backcountry trips but this one really intrigued me. Did you guys do this all with just a GPS and no maps? Just curious on one thing. What was your average hiking times per day? I am used to hiking long days but just curious for the trip planning.
Loved the video! Do you guys happen to have the trail tracked on any apps? All Trails has pieces to it, but not the whole thing.. I am headed out to hike this next week! Going to get dropped off and going to have to find my way back to Sydney. Might have to try some hitch hiking though. Which end of the trail would have the most access to traffic to do so would you think? Can’t pass up the opportunity being in the area!
@@HikingThru Thanks for watching! Our gpx route is available in the description 😊 There's no service on the Polletts Cove side but Meat Cove has service and you can catch a signal on some mountains throughout the trail.
Surprisingly great! Nothing fancy but gets the job done & lots of space in the 70L. Only thing that bothered me on this hike was the waist strap pockets kept opening from the bushwhacking. Probably won't happen during normal hiking. I will likely be taking a 40L version on a 7 day fastpacking trip in NFLD.
My top bucket-list! Just woke up and was notified about this is superb! So jealous😁😁😁😁😁 one day I will hike this trail. Way to go guys!
☺️
Early morning upload!! Love this and your channel. Watching from Tennessee. Makes me feel like I’m home 🏠 in CB. Sincerely thank you!!
Thank you 😊 I was up late last night trying to finish it for our usual Sunday video haha!
Stunning scenery and views along the whole trail folks. Fantastically edited content. Love it!
Once again great vid, thanks for being Nova Scotias (Cape Breton) great ambassadors! 👍😀
This just fired me up! Big summer ahead!
just an amazing edit of stunning sights. Your drone shots make this cinema quality. I think Davey is part mountain goat :)
Always a pleasure watching your videos!!!!

We are flat out this summer but if you are back end of October we might be doing it again. Enjoy your trip!
@@daveyandsky I'm sure I'll love Cape Breton so much I'll have to come back.
Brilliant Thankyou
Do you post your hikes on AllTrails? I’d love to see the route.

Amazing! Hoping to explore more of CB Island one day. Watching from Poland. You guys are international already haha
Wow! Poland? That's amazing and so cool to hear 🥰
How do you know where it is? We will be there 9/1 and I want to go!!!!

Yup we just used gps the whole time and we were probably hiking about 8-10 hours a day with lots of little breaks 😊

Also curious about service along the trail. Assuming none on the trail, but would there be service on either end in Meat Cove or Polletts Cove?

@@daveyandsky That is perfect! Thanks so much for the quick reply 😊
Hope you guys had a fantastic trip to Paris!
omg amazing, but guys why do you prefer swimming in the waterfalls rather than the ocean?
Atlantic Ocean isn't very warm in May haha
How do you find the woods backpack?!
