  • In my global project to run solo and unsupported across a mountain range on every continent, I went back to the Canadian Rockies where I grew up to attempt my fifth journey.
    The route was nearly 1000km of incredibly remote backcountry, and I carried everything I needed in my 30L Trailblazer backpack, resupplying every 4-6 days in small towns en route.

    Wow! Never doubt yourself, you are someone who could cross that river! I would have not even attempted it, specially on my own, would have turned around and headed back.

    I watch your video after reading the section in the book, that I think for me to read was more ínstense than the atlas mountain because of your mental and emotional state. I’m glad you ran it through and ended on a high. I bet this is such a memory for you now especially after writing about it and processing it all

    Amazing adventure! Glad you made it safe. That river you last crossed looks scary. Did you encounter any wild animals? Hopefully next time you will take a safer trip. 😁 I don't see some of your old bicycle trip clips on your channel. I miss them. 😭 All of your videos are amazing and fun to watch.
