    Liam, a big thank you. One of your best films, the scenery, quiet, freshness. I've been a follower for along while now. My son is a wild camper, travels around the world, just returned from Mediera, he follows you. Beautiful Austria, thanks Liam.

    Liam I absolutely love your videos, and I have been a determined viewer throughout your travels since the summer. I am finishing military service in Denmark in the royal guard, and you've inspired me to walk the GR221 in Mallorca, when I'm done in April, with gear from your gear list. Wish me luck! (I would also like some tips :) )

    This is great. I’m 52 and when I was 10 we holidayed in a place called Hipach near mayrhoffen. Was the best trip I ever had. I’ve still not gone back but your vid has inspired me to plan going back. I loved Austria and loved the people as well as the landscape.

    Yorkshire Tea at the Eagle's nest. Job done reet.
    Great adventuring, Liam 😊
    Just enough snow to accentuate the mountain's features, not enough to obscure them. Perfect.

    To me, the suspense of this video was whether or not you’d ever get that apple strudel. ;) Really enjoyed this one! I am completely in love with alps and am looking forward to a trip to Austria later this year. You did a great job capturing this trek! The balance of history and adventure was spot on.

    Fair play to you. You're brave to have wild camped in the Tyrol area too. It's absolutely forbidden and they impose steep fines on anyone caught, so chapeau to you. Lovely to see the chamois. Very clear indeed.

    Oh Liam, Austria is my favourite place. I've been to Tyrol 5 times. (Different places each time) And Carinthia twice, it's fantastic. I've.only ever been in the winter. Unfortunately I've left it too late to go in the spring/summer (hubby can't do this anymore.). Thank you so much for sharing.
    Happy new year 2025.😊
    Take care and stay safe 😊

    The US Army once had a recreation center with a number of hotels in Berchestgaden. The largest of which, called the General Walker, was close to Hitler's Berghaus on the Obersalzburg. BTW, the gold plated elevator came from the Otis Elevator Company of New York. The road from the town to the Obersalzburg had a 22% grade, quite a hike.

    Great watch Liam. The tunnel is the entrance to the Kehlsteinhaus or Eagles Nest. At the end is an absolutely amazing lift into the house itself. I've visited in June several times and there's still snow up there but much warmer thankfully. Thanks for sharing

    Thanks Liam. I use toothpaste tablets, i.e. compressed powdered toothpaste into tablet form. There’s no water to freeze and much lighter than carrying conventional toothpaste and its’ packaging. Just chew one, your saliva rehydrates it and brush as normal. You only need to carry enough tablets in a little bag with your toothbrush for the trip.

      I did the GR221 in Mallorca after watching Liam's video of it, and it was amazing. Got a budget flight from London for like £65 round trip, then used local buses to get to the trailhead and back to the airport at the end. I think it's around 90 miles, took me 6 full days. It's a great first multi-day trek since you pass through a village about once a day to resupply and have a coffee. I did it in early March as well, the weather was brilliant.
