    You have to tell us which team won!!!! Team USA or TEAM CANADA? Maple Leaves for everyone?
    If you had not told us about the technical problems, I don't think anyone would have noticed because your edits are so clean and your segues to the scenes with music and scenery are very smooth and professional (as usual)!
    I got winded just watching you guys hiking up that trail! LOL! Even the bears don't want to walk 90k steps!
    Awesome job Kala! Way to get it done! (BTW - You did look down at your feet so I also thought you were about to speak about your feet or your shoes! LOL!)
    Awesome view from the top of the trail!! The juice indeed was worth the squeeze! Incredible videography from the drone! And how cool is that? A selfie of you guys at the top of the trail from the drone! The drone pilot is amazing!
    Love the high-tech fade to black and fade from black...with your hand! I laughed and it worked fine! Cool effect! Cheap too!
    Awesome narration throughout the presentation, as usual! You guys make an awesome team and a very genuine!
    As I mentioned previously, no need to apologize for the technical difficulties, as your edits are so good, so smooth and so professional that I would bet money that no one would have noticed if you had not told us. Not to mention your "back up" equipment is top notch! Any loss in quality is negligible. And I would not say there was a loss in quality, the picture had a softer look, but still looked great! Love you guys! Safe travels! 😎😎😎😎

    Well, I guess you didn't notice this minor detail on the map, when you were pointing to the trail map at time 11:46 ... but those were "contour lines" on the map. The closer they are together, the steeper the terrain is. So, when you first showed that map, I was thinking, "Man, that trail is STEEEEEP!" haha! However, it seems that you soon noticed this minor oversight?!?! 😁😁 But, what a view at the top! Seems like it was worth the hike! Bunch of champs. 💪💪

    20:26, umm, black bears eat skunk cabbage. I've never heard the correlation showing that seeing skunk cabbage = no bears.
    There are definitely bears in that area.
    A quick Google search will give you answers.

    • @kala-ryanandkala
      @kala-ryanandkala 11 месяцев назад +1

      Oh no!! Our guide in Sitka said if you see it than that likely means no beats have been around. Thankfully we didn’t see any!
      Thanks for the heads up!

    • @ryanandkala
      @ryanandkala  10 месяцев назад +1

      Seems to make sense to me! If you see eaten skunk cabbage, it could be possible that a bear is in the area I would assume. But we just relayed what the local guides indicated, we're no expert.
