wow! kudos to you both! admire your perseverance! Thanks for taking me to a place I will never see here on beautiful and wild Van Isle. While I am an island resident, it would not be a place or thing I would attempt any longer. Glad no bears to escourt you! Looking forward to your next adventure. Thanks for showcasing BC. I enjoy your travels in our province or Canada generally. And of course watching Chloe grow.
Hey Lexy, thanks glad you enjoyed it. It was fun doing that hike again and reliving, that whole Strathcona area is so beautiful. Wild to think the mountains are that big on the Island. Always impresses us being from the Interior and thinking of Island's as a flatter thing. Hope to keep being able to show you more fun places with us 😀🍁
Exciting hey Debbie! Once she started getting the confidence to try there was no stopping her of course haha. Sure is nice being able to walk around the campground and let her explore more now rather than always having to have her carrier. She's loving the independence for sure! 🍁
I enjoy your videos so much! If you are ever on the South part of the Island (Sooke), you must hike Mount Manuel Quimper. We did it this summer and the views are spectacular. There is even a lookout tower where you can sign a guest book. FYI: Trekking poles help soooo much (with knees, back, legs) especially going down (and with carrying chloe on your back). Looking forward to your next video, you guys are awesome!
It was a lot colder than we had originally remembered it being but still refreshing after all the climb, and to get out of the bugs haha. Last time it definitely didn't seem as cold though so it was kind of the carrot on the stick to help make getting to the top that much more enticing. Our Bryce Canyon hike was a big day but this one was just so tough since it was all up one way and all down back so you never really got to give your body a variety of work. Still a fun challenge for us though haha. Cheers guys! 🍁
What a beautiful hike! Not sure I could make it, but loved tagging along with your video! Chloe is getting so big! She'll be running circles around you guys in no time! Enjoy your travels!
Hey Vicki! She already is for sure now haha. Sure picks it up quick now that she's able to practice and build the confidence. Been a blast though and glad she got to learn while still camping a bit so she could explore the great outdoors! 🍁
Yeah this was filmed a little farther back near fall in reality with how much filming and travel we had done this year but it was the tail end for sure. Have to imagine it's quite snowy that high up now! 🍁
Hey Gary! It was challenging for sure but at least it makes for good memories haha. We just had to try it with Chloe after seeing the other couple do it and after finding out Alysha was in early pregnancy with Chloe last time. Thanks for watching 😄🍁
I couldn't do that hike. Maybe 20-30 years ago but not now with this old body. Luke can you carry me? Great video guys. Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventures today. Cheers 😙🥂😘
Haha thanks Sue! It was a big day for sure but hey slow and steady and take breaks when needed right. Not a race but a marathon for some pretty awesome views. Now that we've done it again with Chloe I think we'll be trying some other ones and taking a break from it though haha 😅🍁
😊 yay.. looked at the regular time and no vlog. Come home from shopping and 👍💯😄🖐️💕yay! Watching now. Please be so careful. God bless you Luke!!! 💯👍‼️💞 Go Chloe gooo😄❤️💋💋💋 she's growing up so fast 😍
And she’s off! Love her confidence 🎉 I enjoyed seeing your repeat hike. Amazing views and so amazing that you did it with a baby on your back! Trekking poles really help the knees (oldster tip😊)
Poles likely would've been a blessing for coming back down good point. That really is the struggle of this hike is the fact your climbing muscles just take a beating consistently, and then on the way down it's straight down. The Bryce Canyon day was big but at least that path had rolling hills to give your body some variations. Next time we'll try a different hike and view point now that this one is checked off though haha🍁
Cool stuff, I did bedwell lake while I was at strathcona. The views are dynamite there. I also took my 1 year old on my back up a couple trails there as well. Looks like you were getting eaten alive out there.
Such a beautiful area hey. We definitely need to get out and check out some more of the other options now that we've officially checked off that one for the time being. Flies and bugs were heavy for sure and will need to remember bug spray next time haha. Thanks for watching and happy to hear you guys and the little one got out too! 🍁
Just a heads up guys. If you ever have to use the bear spray, point down, not up. They move so fast that you'll miss it if you don't point down and you only have 2 seconds to react.
Haha you arn't wrong! Now that she has the confidence to practice she's motoring and wanting to see everything for sure. It's fun letting her be able to get around and see so much though. Fun times. Thanks for watching! 🍁
It’s great that your getting your workouts in, however, you might consider not bringing Chloe. Your trails are far to dangerous to be bringing her with you. There are a number of things that could happen to either of you which would put her at risk . There’s always the danger of animal attacks as well as spiders and bugs. Your wonderful parents, please consider the danger .

Thank you! It was beautiful. My husband doesn't like hiking. So Senior living vicariously thru you guys. Vancouver Island born.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! 🍁
Absolutely gorgeous presentation folks, shots are really nicely executed and edited! 🔥🔥
Appreciate it, thanks! 🍁
Wow you guys are amazing.....and Chole is WALKING!!!! Yippee....no stopping her now. 🇨🇦❤

Thanks for the tips and watching! Will definitely have to keep that in mind for the next time 🍁
Ya'll are so tough. I can't imagine getting in that cold lake. Chloe is a trooper!

You must have been near the last RVers camping - closing out the season ❄️
Yeah this was filmed a little farther back near fall in reality with how much filming and travel we had done this year but it was the tail end for sure. Have to imagine it's quite snowy that high up now! 🍁
Great video I am glad it's you guys hiking instead of me

Good job guys but y’all are crazy. That would be a never ever for me!
Haha thanks Sue! It was a big day for sure but hey slow and steady and take breaks when needed right. Not a race but a marathon for some pretty awesome views. Now that we've done it again with Chloe I think we'll be trying some other ones and taking a break from it though haha 😅🍁
you guys are tough! all I could think of when you were going up, was you gotta go DOWN that mountain!
It was an adventure for sure haha. At least we had done it once so we kind of knew what we were in for 😂🍁
😊 yay.. looked at the regular time and no vlog. Come home from shopping and 👍💯😄🖐️💕yay! Watching now. Please be so careful. God bless you Luke!!! 💯👍‼️💞 Go Chloe gooo😄❤️💋💋💋 she's growing up so fast 😍
Guys Canada is just beautiful
Sure is! Love our West Coast scenery for sure too 🍁
And she’s off! Love her confidence 🎉 I enjoyed seeing your repeat hike. Amazing views and so amazing that you did it with a baby on your back! Trekking poles really help the knees (oldster tip😊)

Thanks Teresa! Always good to have it on you but gosh would it be a scary experience having to use it at close range haha 😅🍁
I like your videos
Happy to hear it! Thanks for watching with us 🙂🍁
Zoom zoom she just going to go faster. . . have to get a leash to keep up soon. . .ha ha ha. . . . .nice views in video thanks
Haha you arn't wrong! Now that she has the confidence to practice she's motoring and wanting to see everything for sure. It's fun letting her be able to get around and see so much though. Fun times. Thanks for watching! 🍁
Stay safe god bless
Algorithm 👊
Thanks Adam🙂🍁
Go heavy on the electrolyte hydration and consider bringing bananas for the potassium to head off muscle cramps.
Very good points that in hindsight I wish I would've taken into consideration. Next time for sure, thanks! 🍁
