Nice. No vlogging, no stats, no opinions. Just the sounds of nature and some tastefully chosen music. I feel like I was right there with you. You basically hiked the trail twice with all the tripod setups!😂 Just found your channel and I’m looking forward to watching your other hikes. Subscribed!
Glad you enjoy the vibe! I try to keep the videos peaceful and stuff the description full of the details for those who are interested. By the end of a hike I usually add around 2km or so for a 60km hike. All part of the experience for this guy 😂
This really brought back a lot of wonderful memories for me!! I went on a hiking trip here in 2007 at 19 years old and I loved every second of it!! Miss the scenic nature and views!!
Glad this brought back those memories! The Footpath is a pretty magical place! I’ve got many memories on those trails that are unforgettable. Hope you make it back out there someday!
Ahh yes… that was certainly a sunset to remember! Always happy to hear you’re enjoying the videos and especially appreciate the kind words! Happy Hiking 🥾
Thank you. That shot was actually from Goose Creek and it is one of my favourites as well! The sky had some amazing colours as the sun was setting that night and the fog was rolling in 😊
I’m glad that my video can provide you with a little bit of home ☺️ Backtracking is all part of the adventure for me and provides me with the opportunity to capture some unique and beautiful parts of the journey!
Production quality of this video is phenomenal. I got tired just thinking about how many times you had to go back to retrieve your camera after every shot. Well done!
I just discovered your channel. Very nice shots and I like the fact that there are no voices, just moments of silence and beautiful music. What time of year did you go?
Great work man! Thank you for taking the time and effort to create a beautiful video. I’m planning a hike in sept with a buddy and am currently in the planning process. Do you have a list of equipment you’ve used in this hike?
Sorry for taking a while to get back to you. Just got back from hiking with my son in Iceland! I don’t have an exact list, but there are so many levels and variations to what you could use. I actually carried 2 tents on this trip to test out my new 1p and a 2p for when my girlfriend met up at the end. Your main focus would be your sleep system.. sleep pad, sleeping bag, pillow or stuff sack full of clothing, and of course a tent or hammock. You’ll need food. Some people opt for eating bars the whole time, some people bring steak for the first night, the majority stick to dehydrated meals or ramen for dinner, bars for lunch, and oatmeal for breakfast. For cooking you can use a jetboil, or a toaks pot with a msr or brs stove. Oh and don’t forget a water filter! Sawyer squeeze, platypus QuickDraw or Kathadin befree are all great options. You’ll want a change of clothes, a few pair of hiking socks, hiking shoes, and some rain gear. Everything else is up to the hiker really. A little first aid kit is great, extra cordage, a Swiss Army knife can prove very useful at times, trekking poles, camp shoes/sandals, a camp chair.. the options are endless and vary greatly, but I believe this touches the main and most important items. I hope this reaches you before your hike and hope you enjoy it. The Fundy Footpath is a fantastic hike!
You’ll have a great time! The trail is in great condition this year. I just ran it from Alma to the gate towards Saint Martin’s last weekend. Ended up being 87km over 20hr 55mins and the only issue on trail was around the 5km mark there was a very large eroded section. I heard that they were headed out to create new trail around this area very soon though. The tent is a Durston Xmid. Can’t recommend it enough! The only real tip I can provide is to work on your elevation training… hills are steep and there’s about 10 of them going up about 200-240m each. You’ll be covering almost 4000m of elevation on this hike, so hit the hills or stair climber and get those legs ready for one of New Brunswick’s best hikes!
At what time of year did you hike it (in this video)? Have you ever hiked it in late spring? I'm curious to know if the black flies and mosquitos are less voracious along the trail than further inland.
The video was from June 24th, 2022. I don’t believe I have hiked the Footpath any sooner though unfortunately.. I know I’m reading the arrival of the black flies here in Fredericton… anyday now! I’m quite sure the bug situation on the coast isn’t much better than inland.
I've just watched your video. It's very well done. I have a question, I'm a 63 year old woman who's moderately fit, I work out 3-4 times a week and am healthy. Is this a hike that I could do? Also, I'm not great with heights but only if I have to walk on cliffs where there's a ledge where it's very high. Climbing up high hills doesn't bother me. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
I have seen many people hiking the trail. There are about 10 steep climbs and descents and it is very physically demanding. Even for those who are in fantastic shape. In fact one climb is called heart attack hill. Most hills are of equal severity though. The good thing about this trail is that there are many camping areas throughout and if you extend the hike over many day perhaps could be the most enjoyable experience. In the event that an injury occurs or you cannot physically continue, there are not many easily accessed exit points on the FNP half of the trail. Anything is possible and I hope you can get out to experience this amazing trail. I am sorry that I cannot provide much information in terms of if you specifically can complete the trail or not as there are so many factors that go into a response. I hope this provides some insight for you to consider and I would love to hear back on how you make out on the FFP if you do take on the journey!
How much hiking experience do you have? The hills and descents are quite long and steep, I’m not in my 60’s but I did it with a friend who’s in her 50’s a few years ago with no issues. If you don’t have much hiking experience I’d probably start with cape chignecto in Nova Scotia. It’s like a watered down version of the footpath. Lots of ascents and descents, not as many and they aren’t as long and steep but it’s still a challenging hike. It’ll give you a good idea whether or not you want to tackle the footpath. I did Chignecto twice before I did the footpath. It’s a beautiful hike. People of all ages have done both trails, if you plan well, allow for enough time and you have good strong legs you’ll likely be absolutely fine.
Great question! That is one of the more difficult parts about the hike. There are several options for the FFP. You could yo-yo the trail, if your hiking with others you can drop a car off at the end and loop another car to the beginning to start your hike, or you could do as I did and arrange a drive at the end of the hike. My girlfriend hiked in to Seely Beach to camp out with me on the last night. I hope this helps!
Thank you, I did the FFP a few years back with army cadets and was interested In doing it again solo this summer. I’m In Labrador and am looking for a fun road trip this summer.
Well filmed. Excellent colour and detail. May I ask what you are using as your camera? Are you using a separate audio recorder or the camera's inbuilt?
@@HikingThru Thanks. Totally impressed. 👍 Had no idea that the iPhone could take such incredible shots and audio. I take that you're flying the drone on the sly since all parks (national, provincial, municipal) in Canada do not permit drones. 😥 I just got a drone but am disappointed that I have to seek out crown land to use it.
@kurio999 Phone cameras have come really far and the only thing that I would like is a good telephoto, but it seems that apples working on that, so any year now! I often fly just outside of the parks for my shots when I’m somewhere that does not allow it, but in NB especially and with my work it makes it quite easy to gain permission to fly if I really needed to.
Great video!!! Hope you post more videos of your hiking ventures!!!
Thank you! I assure you that I’ll continue posting new videos for many years to come! I have a handful I am currently processing 😊
Absolutely ditto everything @bugnurddesigns5268 said!. Very well done video, enjoyed immensely. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy some of my other hikes too ☺️

I think you should win an award for this
If you make an award, I’ll gladly accept it! 🥲
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant. Good work.
Appreciate it 🤙🏼
0:39 those conditions are unreal!!! can’t wait to watch the rest of the video 😁
One of the most beautiful trails New Brunswick has to offer.
Grab some popcorn and enjoy 🍿🙂
Your video is truly a work of art. Thank you for sharing it with us!

What an amazing video !
Glad you think so too!
Hi, I am enjoying your travels in our beautiful Maritime Provinces. Outstanding camera work on this trek esp the stunning sunset on Goose Creek.
Ahh yes… that was certainly a sunset to remember!
Always happy to hear you’re enjoying the videos and especially appreciate the kind words!
Happy Hiking 🥾
Great video. I love the shot of flying out over Goose River beach at high tide.
Thank you. That shot was actually from Goose Creek and it is one of my favourites as well! The sky had some amazing colours as the sun was setting that night and the fog was rolling in 😊
I always get them backwards. Looked like the conditions were perfect.
@@ExploreEverywhereMedia they certainly were! I’ve been lucky this year for for my hiking trips
Outstanding piece of work my friend, this video is amazing! 😮🔥🔥
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this. I miss home and this helps. I appreciate all the backtracking you did in filming this too. Best wishes!
I’m glad that my video can provide you with a little bit of home ☺️
Backtracking is all part of the adventure for me and provides me with the opportunity to capture some unique and beautiful parts of the journey!
Beautiful and relaxing tour. Thank you. Have a wonderful day 😊
Thank you 😊

Haha yeah, a few extra km for sure! There are so many tiny details in the edits.. I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Stunning shots and a wonderful atmosphere you created with this video! Great adventure, New Brunswick looks awesome.
Thanks, New Brunswick certainly has its charm!

Hey Melanie, I’m glad that you enjoyed the film!
I began this hike on June 24th and completed the hike on the 26th 😊

Hi great video! Me and friends are doing the FFP for 4 days 1 month from now! Any tips you can provide? What tent are you using?

Well filmed. Excellent colour and detail. May I ask what you are using as your camera? Are you using a separate audio recorder or the camera's inbuilt?
Appreciate it! I keep it fairly simple. All I use would be my IPhone 13pro and DJI mini 2. No separate audio

I drink water right from the stream to! But I don’t have that fancy filter I just use my underwear or socks
One of the finest forms of filtration! #donotrecommend
Im Charlo NB bound in 2 weeks to camp on Lake Chaluer and hike the trails for 10 days❤
That sounds like a great trip! I hope you enjoy the trails 🤙🏼
