Great Divide Trail Diaries - Episode 1 - Section A

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- EPISODE #1 - The diary of our Great Divide Trail (GDT) adventure. The first episode is "Section A" which is from Waterton Park to Coleman Alberta. It was far harder than expected and more beautiful than imagined.
Dudley (Bruce Watts), Crusher (Chris Abbott) & Mango (Tracy Généreux) - and many new friends - thru-hiked the Great Divide Trail during the summer of 2021. 1100-ish crazy hard and wild kilometres from the Alberta/Montana international border (near Waterton), to Kakwa Provincial Park along the continental divide in the Canadian Rockies. Considered the "Wildest" Thru-Hike in North America - We agree!
This video is the 1st episode of a 7 part series we affectionately are calling the "GREAT DIVIDE TRAIL DIARIES" ... we will be uploading vids on this channel as they are completed (be patient... there are lots of personal summer adventures that keep us from the editing studio -- SUBSCRIBE SO YOU WON'T MISS THE CYBER ADVENTURE!
Special thanks to Chris Abbott (aka Crusher) and Tracy Généreux (aka Mango) and all our other new friends: Tyson, Arthur, Marylou, Shira, Richard, Glen, Noémie, Fran, Theresa, Paul, Nicole, Isla, Noah, and Munchie (woof woof)

FILMED COMPLETELY on an iPhone 11pro with no gimbals, external microphones, and a tripod was used 3 times (I now regret carrying the tripod for 900 km :) )

Great video! Love the narration and perspectives. Cool to see the trail in a different season and some sections that I didn't hike due to taking some alternate routes.
Thanks so much Justin… Im ready to do it again!! 😀 But I think I’ll save my legs for the AT next year.
Loved your video! Great style, humor, editing, music, narration and modesty!! Looking forward to watching the whole series.
Thanks so much… you get me!😂
Awesome!
Thanks Tyler🤙
Did you find that the 20 degree quilt kept you warm enough without wearing all your other layers? I watched the video of you deciding to omit the 10 degree version.
Yepper… it certainly was. The only night I wore more than long johns was after getting caught in the snow storm. It took some time to warm up after getting wet and cold. All in all… I’m glad I went with the 20 ˚…. But as you likely know, we all sleep differently and it’s best to test first before you head out. Finally, I generally am a cold sleeper.
Great stuff. Love the maps etc to explain where you are. Nice story telling.
Thanks so much Dan … high praise, especially from you!.. plus you got my intent…. “a story of our adventure”… stay tuned for section B 😃
Great video, editing and commentary and information. I'm hiking this section in August with a girlfriend and I am really looking forward to it. Hopefully the snow will be gone or at.least a lot less on those North slopes though.
It looks so beautiful so I can only imagine what it actually looks like because I know videos and pictures don't do justice.
THANKS FOR SHARING!
Thanks so much… and yes it was super duper beautiful!
So you all just respectfully skipped the minor inconvenience of making campsite reservations? The little thing required by all the parks??
I’m not sure what you r referring too? We booked, reserved and paid for camps every night… including parks Canada pass. But there were times we improvised because of unexpected issues.
@@Campology Apologies then! It just looked like you were stealth camping the whole thing...my bad. Your video production quality is great btw!
Nice work buddy. Trail looks amazing. Video editing is top notch...makes me feel like I need to step up my game :)
Ha ha… thanks so much.
You're up next year for the GDT!
Cannot wait
Nice videos!
Glad you like them!
Would recommend that when you have a cup or two of water left in your water bottle, just add clean snow. The snow soon becomes cool and delicious water.
That's a good idea!
I followed along with you as you traveled to your many different routes and this one definitely did not leave me disappointed. I appreciate all the time spent filming the vast wilderness and the majestic views that we saw in the first part of the series. I was wondering if your travel mates have a channel I could watch so that way I could see what they were looking at on this journey.
Mango has a great IG account. @mangohikes
Thanks so much
This is excellent! Well done! Love the narration, filming, and editing. Very smooth and informative. The graphics as well. Well worth the hours you’ve put into this. Looking forward to the remaining sections.
Thanks muchly Glen... section B SOON!
Great first section Bruce. My wife Claudette and I loved it. It's Crusher's brother Scott, nice meeting you in Algonquin last week.
Thanks muchly Scott. It was also great hangin’ with yah last week… and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
All that snow around and you were bone dry and dehydrated?
Yep… can’t drink snow 😂
Hi thank u for cool video
What season u gays go there?
Thank you for watching! We were there in the summer - starting in late June
Thank you replay .
I would like to know the skill standards required to complete the GDT.
Really great video and information for this section! Can you tell me, cause it wasn’t clear to me, after LaCoulette did you take the Barnaby Ridge alternate or did you descend back down into the valley along the true Gdt trail?
We hiked the main trail. It was tough enough!😂
Awesome thank you. That’s the way we are planning to go 👍
I just found this series and enjoyed the first episode. I can tell you put a lot of effort into it. Great job!
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and the kind words. Hike on!
Wow, I'm impressed! Great video, looking forward to the rest of this series.
Wow, thank you so much
Hi Doug. It's Steve and Devann who drove you from Waterton to Castle Creek way back on your snowbound trek.
@@stevegoad4133 Wow that's such a long time ago already. Thanks again! Hope everything is well with you two.
@@dougborthwick9074 In 2017 at age 68 I hiked as far as Agua Dulce on the PCT. Thanks so much for your work on the GDT. We are still doing day hikes but the fires in BC are hindering.
Crushers wife sure is young.🤔
It’s all relative! 👍😀
Why did you start so early in the season?
We had commitments in August back home.
@@Campology thanks. Looks like a great trip.
Watched Bruce-Hikes-Bruce and now you are on the GDT I love watching your journeys you are quite an inspiration, keep up the great content. Might try the Bruce myself next year
Thanks and much appreciated
We’ll done Brucester. What a freakin epic trek! And the production values of the video is awesome. Great job dude!
Thanks so much Dave… now stay tuned for Section B 😂
Can't wait for the rest of this series really well done
Thanks so much Owen... slow and steady are my edits... life balance stuff... I hope to get them out every 2 weeks from this point forward. :)
Great adventure! Looking forward to seeing Section B.
Hey Bob… thanks so much!
