    I wish Netflix or Amazon would team up with you and do a whole series of trail running & fast packing with you and a full production crew.

      @@w.k.9224 I want as many people as possible to know about the pure enjoyment and almost zen-like pact with nature that is running and I want absolutely none of them to actually take up running. To me, running is all about mental health, cardio is just a bonus. Crowded trails would ruin running for me.

    I have to go to bed (it's late here, I will watch it tomorrow) but thanks a lot Jeff and Audree for these great adventures, they are really inspiring. After years of "boring" road racing I have begun trail running because of your videos. It has helped a lot in my life. Muchas gracias!

    Wow Jeff ,
    Wow Audrée,
    What an unbelievably great video.
    How beautiful is our world?
    Anyone who wants an answer to this question must watch this video.
    I am speechless, thank you so much for this unique content.
    I'm sitting in front of my television and can't stop marvelling. The colours of nature, the incredibly beautiful landscape of Torres del Paine. Paradise couldn't be more beautiful! Well, maybe not so windy!😆
    Thank you for sharing this certainly unique experience.

    Cuando fui a las Torres del Paine, llevaba 3 años desde mi jubilación, por la tanto fui de modo turista, ¡¡jamás hubiese podido hacer el viaje que hicieron ustedes y que tanto disfrute viendo sus videos maravillosos. En el hemisferio norte, existen también unos paisajes fantásticos, pero lamentablemente hay que verlos con mucho repelente para mosquitos que te acompañan todo el día.

    Jeff's videography and his ability to make the scene the main character, or Audree, in some cases, is really his genius. His doesn't let the, "Hey, dig me!" that is the crack of 1st person videos get in the way of the information, or the story.
    I absolutely love everything Jeff does on UA-cam. I would watch a feature length Jeff film on nearly anything.
    Thanks for being a consumate professional. I always look forward to your content.
    Edit: I spelled "Audree" like an American. I come by it honest.

    Your lives are magic and I travel vicariously with you. This is the 1st most realistic coverage of the beauty and ruggedness of this circuit it is not your simple walk in the park. There are words for the spiritual beauty you experienced. So worth waiting for. How many times can you say “oh my god”? Not much makes me smile since my husband of 56 yrs took his own life. We were lifelong hiking partners. But you and Audrey get the smile award from me. Thank you so much for sharing. Beauty overload!!

    Thank you for documenting this fast pack, it brought back my own memories of doing the W 10 yrs ago. I'd got there too late in the season to do the O, they'd closed it to visitors. I'd wondered what the 'back' of the Grey glacier looked like and now I know. It has blown my mind a bit how many people there were in March, ugh! It was also interesting to see what had disappeared, changed or improved. And Jeff, if you thought those trails needed attention, don't try to fast pack anything but 'Great Walks' in NZ; those are 'technical' trails ;-)

    I visited this park 8yrs ago while on a motorcycle trip from Quebec City. The weather in Patagonia is no joke (picture a motorcycle riding sideways due to wind). I wan't planning on hiking the W or O due to time, but apparantly when I was there they were closed due to flooding from all the rain, I see now why that would happen! I was super lucky to have clear beautiful weather when I was there though. Such an amazing place. Thanks for taking me where I didn't have a chance to go.

The gusts were so strong that we physically couldn't move forward until they calmed down. That and the final climb up to the mastiff were brutal but I can't wait to go back, there really is no other place in the world like Patagonia
