Did I just watch a National Geographic special??? Bravo Jeff, seriously outstanding film!! Very excited for this series!! 👏
100%
Outstanding effort
Today is the day....almost time!!
you know it!
Stellar content, here. No one tells the story of the race like you do. Kudos.
Amanzing images Jef
Hey Carlos! Thanks man. Some footage of you coming up in later episodes.
@@JeffPelletier good tranks Jef 😊🙌🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿
What an adventure Jeff. I can't wait to see the next episode.
Thanks Elias.
That was brilliant, feels like it was shot by a full production team. Can not wait to see what the experience will be like swapping our trails for dunes.
C'mon man, seven days...that's cruel lol
Can't wait to watch each episode. Great job Jeff. And thanks for sharing
Many have said this but this honestly felt like a national geographic doc! I’m in awe of the scenery, animals, and your amazing storytelling, and the race hasn’t even started yet!
This is really good
Your videos just keep getting better and better Jeff, this is fantastic and cannot wait for the rest of the episodes 👏
Loved watching this! I grew up in Namibia and it brings back such wonderful memories seeing it in such a beautiful film. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
The sock fold trick! How did I not know that one? Thanks, Jeff! High quality production, as always!
Yes let's go!!!
Loved this!
You give such a interesting history lesson. The filming and music is fantastic as ever!
Looking forward to following your adventure Jeff
Thank you 🙌🙌🏴
LOVED the entire series! I need to know which Smith sunglasses you are wearing during the race (with blue reflective lenses) please :)
Strange to think that the people who painted on those rocks lived at a time when there was no “indoors”. They were always outdoor!
I believe this country is misunderstood..as a runner..it may be a gem to run..👑💎💯👟
The wait for this series was long and hard, but oh so worth it.
It feels like a professional documentary; the imagery is awesome, and the story telling as well.
Can't wait for the next episode.
Thanks Rolf.
Wow what a beautiful place. I need to make it there! Thx for the videos!
Absolutely can't wait. Gonna be nice break from "regular" trails.
How is it feeling?!! I am really wondering..
And I dream go to there and join them..
Love the music for Frankfurt😂😂😂😂
Outstanding film. Great work.
Amazing, I was born and raised in Namibia. Now living in Mill Bay. Can’t wait to watch all the episodes. 👍
This looks great. Love it already. Can't wait to see it, Jeff!
Hey Jeff, great video. Not sure if it was deliberate but your Salomon gaiters were on backwards. Theres an L and R under the Salomon tag.
It’s the only way they seemed to properly fit onto my shoes, to be honest.. guess they work both ways!
Thanks for sharing this; subscriber, fellow distance runner and YTber here. MAN, you've got me so excited about this. This is on my bucket list. ⚰️We have local runner in the D.C. area who did this (Michael Wardian). Your video is like well-produced documentary! WOW!😃👍🏜️🏃🏻♂️⛺✈️
Wow, Jeff! Amazing work as always! Love the history.
Awesome!!! Me and my bf waited the whole day for the premier. Not disappointed! Thank you so much for the great inspiration! Thanks to you we signed up for our first ultra this summer! Best wishes from Switzerland
Thanks Susan! That's so great to hear. Out of curiosity, which race is it you're doing?
@@JeffPelletier
We are visiting my boyfriends sister in Quebec this summer and want to combine it with the 50k version of the QMT. I can't wait altough I'm a bit scared of the humidity :D
Nice! I was waiting for that! And it's a 9-part series!!! Thank you so much!
I've wanted to go there for many years
I’ve wondered if yourself and Les Stroud has ever been in contact. I bet you two could do some awesome collaboration adventure film.
Working with Les Stroud would be pretty amazing :)
Very good Jeff. Excellent production - very TV show like. I only wish there was a few more available to watch.
Wonderful job. Bravo.
Just discovered your channel! Awesome stuff. So much in common...sort of...videography, running, davinci, Africa!! Great content. Thanks!
Great addition to the channel! Glad the trip went well and can't wait to see more!
Hi Jeff! Where did you get your sleeves? If they resist the desert sun I definitely want them!!
My sleeves are from Outdoor Research, perfect for sun protection! Highly recommend. You can get them here: geni.us/nJv3
You're already doing a fantastic job of making the region look absolutely stunning. Can't believe we're getting 8 more of these.
Thanks so much!
Keep following your nose Jeff!
i love that you give us some historical context
Glad to hear it! I never know how much of that people care for, but the travel is as much part of what appeals to me in these kinds of races.
This looks spectacular!!

👀
Nine part series? Damn I love this already :)
Wow I hope one day to be able to share my stories half as good as you do. I’ve started to gradually share my experiences. I’m passionate about having healthy life habits and trail running is one of my favorite sports to practice with cycling, hiking and cross country skiing, living in Québec I think you know pretty well what our winters are like hahaha. You share not only your experience in running but the culture of the country. I can’t wait to watch the next episodes.
Keep on the beautifull work!
Thanks Michael! Enjoy the cross country skiing for the next little while 😀
Loved the seals and ancient stone art. Looks like all of your hard work is going to pay off. Incredible work!
Thanks Dan! I got to enjoy more rock art towards the tail end of my trip, but nothing like that first site. So cool.
I LOVE the quality of this video. I’ve subscribed and hit the bell waiting for more 😍
🙏
Looking for inspiration for 2023. This would be my first Ultra. Great content so far. thank you!
Thanks and happy trails!

Thanks! I’ve tried to improve with each new video.
