Impressive ur so underrated
Thanks so much! I definitely suggest sticking with the newer videos; the early videos have justifiably low viewership 😂
Hey, what are you using to film?
GoPro Hero 12 Black with a chest mount on 30:1 time warp, although I probably should have used 15:1.
Epic!
Thanks! It's always fun to leave Chicagoland occasionally
I have an idea, you should bike the chicago park system and stick to the avenues when riding through the city.
Hi @MTB06 you bring up a good point that we should throw in some more bike rides; a recent video runs the entire boulevards network, albeit without going into all the parks: ua-cam.com/video/KSqnvYuDwYI/v-deo.htmlsi=YxNM-M3Db5PXZCKo
I enjoyed the musical segues
Thanks, glad to hear the editing is improving!
Love the bonus footage, but it looks like you're doing battle with Asian martial arts sticks. The footage in the video is easier to watch.
I thought the same, it’s also uncomfortable to wear a chest strap over a life jacket
01:35 - this is my main complaint about trying to walk around Chicago is the lack of restrooms. Actually i walked in that Amoco gas station on South Western and 52nd street and they had a huge sign saying "restrooms" - i joked to the cashier "A restroom? I thought i was in Chicago?!!!" he just looked at me strange.
And there’s no woods as an alternative! As a transplant from Vermont, that’s my biggest gripe about the city.
6:11 paramotor gang rise up!
I love Holland MI! Affordable city for how nice of a city it is! My favorite restaurant is the Curragh Irish Pub, they have good hamburgers. If you have the chance, visit my favorite small town named Harbor Springs :) I was gonna mention how you normally don't drive to places, but then I saw the road trip in the description.. I miss the metra rides.
Yeah Western MI was good vibes, unfortunately all the famous restaurants in the area had a long line. And don’t worry, there will be plenty more Metra on the channel!
Those clouds, the old American farms, and the slow traffic seem so beautiful.
I agree, I think a lot of Chicagolanders are missing out on the beauty!
How long of a walk is that you did?
It was 17.75 miles 🙂
Addendum: 21 of 77 community areas are still yet to be visited unfortunately, Portage Park is mislabeled orange:(
Fun run!
Entertaining video, as always! I'd like to see you include a map overview of the route.
