Without even realizing it, I smile while watching your video. My soul remains full and satisfied with all the beauty of nature. Amazing!!

Another brilliant videologue on nature! To quote Hemingway, each locale that you’d visited is “a movable feast, ” as it stays with you for the rest of your life, wherever you venture next.

What an adventure. The interesting sights, sounds, paths, bridges, ladders, board walks & Hand tram. Tsusiat Falls was very nice. The whole trail was incredible Thank wifey and yourself for the recipes.

So much love between you and your wife. It is so easy to see. You're fortunate to have someone to share things with.

J’adore quand tu fais le funambule, c’est vraiment un trek du tonnerre, vous êtes un couple super mimi, et l’océan est magnifique, quelle merveilleuse découverte pour moi, je ne savais pas que la randonnée ça pouvait être comme ça, j’avais toujours trouvé la randonnée ennuyeuse dans ma jeunesse, j’aurais adoré grimper sur les échelles, je peux le faire virtuellement grâce à vous maintenant que je suis une grand -mère de 67 ans merci à vous ❤

The best video about West Coast trail ever. Thank you for all your hard work 😊

[lysan]

What a challenging but also rewarding and enchantingly beautiful trail! Brilliant camera work, too!

[rickevans]

I have watched most of your videos and that one was the craziest yet - all those ladders, mud, bridges and wonderful coast - I didn’t even know there was a trail on the west coast of Vancouver Island

[ashby]

Beautiful wilderness scenery like nothing we see over here in the UK except maybe in parts of Scotland. I guess the bears, cougars and other wild animals use those trails too, how scary to meet one on a bridge or a ladder. I know you do silent videos to let nature take centre stage but its good to see those little interactions with the camera now and then. Thanks for taking the risks to bring us these fabulous videos.

[drkskyes]

That piece of machinery at 1:00:54 is a steam donkey. It was used to yard logs in the woods. It was filled with cables that would pull the logs together to where they could be loaded on a train and taken away. And I think the bridge at 1:01:07 is a narrow gage railroad bridge with the rails removed. Very cool.

[relaxingtravel-LosAngeles]

very nice.. I follow Harmen and Kraig and I'm adding you to our rotation of nature videos. great work!

[adrielhoho]

that first ladder climb was insane!! looks pretty gnarly

[MEOWnderlust]

Another great hiking video! Makes me miss living in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks for keeping it real and showing how tough it can be to traverse those wet logs 😁🪵🌲

[HeidiWohlbier]

Just beautiful scenery. Thank you again
