Funny to think that each cut scene of him walking away from the camera, he had to walk right back. Lot of work!

nature, when you strip away society, technology, and everything that makes us comfortable in our homes, really makes you value what you have.
at home, we’re most likely thinking: “omgoodness, there are so many things I want to impulse buy.”
but, when on a trail, we’re put into survivalist mode of “damn, I should’ve packed more water, food, wet wipes… :/”
thank you, simon, for making this video and feeding us beautiful sunrises and sunsets. 😌

I had ACL surgery last week and this video made me go outside and read a book for an hour after spending days on my couch. Thank you for your content!

[djbreakfast]

What an absolutely fantastic film. I love all the scrapbooky parts and your editing style and everything. You rule, Simon 🙌

[JackyLi]

Thinking about the worst-case scenario isn't that bad sounds fitting to me. I could always go back to live with my parents and do freelancing again.

simon your videos are one of the only ones that make me realise there is more to life than

[jerrynightshade]

Hey man, just wanted to thank you, you inspire me and because of you I look at my life in a different way, I get so inspired and motivated to do things as you do, to explore, enjoy and live. Thanks and never stop inspiring <3

I want to see you do a rollerblade packing trip

[Will_jj]

You’ve inspired me to appreciate the world outside more and start planning roadtrips myself. Also, great music taste dude

This has gotta be the funniest and most real video in the world. I think having those moments where you talked about missing that vanilla latte really made it more relatable. Your other videos are masterpieces and always motivate me, but to see that even you crave sugar and sweets while being in those beautiful areas, it makes your life seem less like a dream and more like a person trying to live life in the moment. Your channel is always a great reminder that there is so much more than school and becoming a doctor, lawyer, or business woman. That to live is to love and to love is to keep on moving no matter the bumps in the road. Keep doing what you love Simon; you're making a difference in the world whether it feels like it or not.

yoooo simon, how's that 2021 friend group going? I'm pretty sure you guys went sperate ways, but rewatching that video really made me think that something between you and that friend group was special. Hope I get to see that friend group again!

I have always craved for a solo trip and went on a tiny little one a few months back. Post breakup, things are kind of messed up especially my routine and mental health. You've inspired and reminded me where I belong - solo tripping among the nature. Thank you Simon. Hugs. 😊

planning a backpacking trip rn so excited

[CaptainJeffMarchant]

almost midnight Sat eve & i just watched full vlog cos i worked all day. Saw you posted before i went to work so was psyched to watch after work. I'm in South FL & prefer to be outdoors rather than stuck inside. I live on a 20 acre lake that is the centerpiece of the community i live in and have awesome views year round. Needless to say i really do spend more time outside than in. Thanks for another awesome vlog. I still watch your Project West vlog atleast once a month....my favorite.
Happy 2024

This vibe on such trips simply can’t be matched. This deeptalking in combination with the stunning landscape.
