I don't think the term hero is big enough. You're a warrior philosopher who wages battle with Mother Nature and wrests wisdom out of your victories. I'm so glad there a people like you on KZread. Thanks for being real. Thanks for being you.

Oh Craig, you made me smile. Thanks dude :)

I was brought here after reading Solo, which by the way is highly recommended! These trips are inspirational and, whilst my own adventures will be more local, the motivation to get outdoors and explore is only heightened by these incredible journeys so very well told. Keep on adventuring 😊

I have watched a lot videos on outdoor activities. There are so many bigger-than-life guys out there. But you are the greatest inspiration I‘ve found so far. So normal and so courageous at the same time. You are the living prove of the motto of this movie: The biggest danger is the word No. From now on I will try not to fall into that „No“-trap anymore. Thank you!

Inspirational! Amazing to see someone who isn't a fulltime paid athlete or adventurer tackle challenges like this on their own, solo. (So no film creww following them either :-) ) Kudos to you!

Epic Jennifer. Apart from the physical fitness & iron will determination, not many ever get to experience being truly alone & the only help is you. The mental toughness needed when going deep into thought. Good job Jennifer Tough 🏃💪👊 Loved your adventure.

Wow , you are a true inspiration! I'm planning to go for 14 days solo trekking journey in Kyrgyzstan next week and your video definitely gave me a lot of motivation. Thank you for sharing your journey.

I would never have believed it was even possible to do that .... your simply awesome 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 and a real life inspiration .... so thankyou for sharing your adventures with us 👍👍👍

I am feeling myself too small in front of you, now you are one of my inspiration. Legend Jenny Tough.

I don't know what to say. It's crazy, causes feelings of respect and admiration. My respects!

Every video Jenny finds a coffee shop. The world is okay.

I'm so inspired by this and your other fastpacking videos. I'm still shocked at how small your backpack looked, still fitting in water, your tent, sleeping bag, stove, food, and camera! I need to step up my packing game. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures on youtube!

Jenny, you continue to be an inspiration. I know your mom and dad, who got me on to your cycling adventures a few years ago. But this film seems to have taken your adventures to another level! Quite simply, I'm in awe. I now see my run around Mont Blanc last summer in a very different light. Like others have said, thanks for sharing, and never stop exploring!

As your name "Tough", you are so brave, tough and face the challenges through the trail of Tien Shan by running not an even bike. I respect you to make a decision for the unbelievable expedition of Kyrgyzstan.

Hi Jenny, my total respect not only for your sportive performance, but for staying alone with yourself in good and difficult situations. And of course you catched wunderful pictures and moments. Greetings from Berlin and wunderful christmas for you! Frank

Your adventures blow my mind...I need to check if I've got a big enough set downstairs to do this myself. Thanks for the inspiration and keep the videos coming

How do you not like and admire that!? Simply incredible! Congratulations on the epic journey.

Awsome, greatest job. thanks for sharing. glade find your channel.

Brilliant!

Wonderful adventure and video. I have watched several of your adventures and to be very honest, you are amazing. A life well lived is filled with adventure which others will not ever experience. Experiences and challenges which only you can truly understand and appreciate. Love your videos, thanks.

very inspirational video!

Amazing! Loved every second of that adventure 🙌🙌

Truely inspiring! Kyrgyzstan looks unreal!

Hey Jenny. Just wanted to say thank you for this movie. I really feel this "no", better said to overcome it (even if it's not in such a big scale for now for me- but I'm planning a lot of things :). It is really...like really rare to see a woman do something like this solo. I feel like people have a lot more doubts if they see a woman doing crazy shit instead of a guy. So you're definitely a role model for me now.

Words cannot describe your courage. You are a real source of inspiration. Beautifully filmed and great story. Thanks for sharing and keep exploring!

Wow. Just wow

Wild and free. Bravissima!

Quite inspirational!! Thanks for sharing!! Would love to see the planning side of this trip...

This is by far top five coolest running videos that I’ve seen on youtube. Soooo impressed by this! Talk about inspiration… We’ll, I’ve subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more. 👊🏻

WOW ! There are no words massive enough to tell you how epic your achievement.... love what you do xox

This is just awesome and your words totally spot on. So very well done.

And you said 'NO' to never ever giving in. You are phenominal Jenny! Thank you for taking us along.

Wow, Jenny, very interesting and inspirational. I especially like your beginning and ending comments about having to defeat the “no’s”. I’m from Nepal and in my late 50s. I run trail races, and have done a few 50Ks. I plan to do an 80K soon,and then a multi day race possibly in Mustang, Nepal. I’ll always keep your words in mind. Thank you, once again!

amazing. you are as tough as those mountains. perhaps even tougher.

Fantastic Jenny, Its not lost on me the amount it takes to self film as well as everything else that's going on. Great adventure and cant wait to see the film of the Atlas :-)

Thanks! Yeah - there is a joke that I probably ran double the distance recorded, always going back for my GoPro :)

I enjoyed this film so much, thank you. This is really the stuff dreams are made of. Maybe a year or two after Corona will be over I'll be able to turn my jealousy into inspiration to go on similar adventures. In the meantime, I'm gonna pack my bike and cycle a bit outside my region and outside my comfort zone :)

I first learned about your adventures here on KZread with your "Fastpacking the Canadian Rockies" film. I proceeded to purchase your "Solo" book and haven't put it down since! I've just finished reading Starting Out: The Tien Shan, and to my surprised added delight, here it is in glorious visuals and audio form on KZread! As is said in the industry: "The book is better", but I am elated and grateful to experience your story in both formats!

Jenny Tough ... seriously tough? amazing....

Unbelievable that was amazing filming and Journey wow!!!!!!

Hi Jenny, Just became your fan and thanks for the huge inspiration! Uncertainty, anxiety, fear are all part of the journey and you're living the dream! Wish you happy trails and many hugs 🤗 from northern Italy. pk PS: If you ever pass by dolomiti mountains 🏔️ let me know and you're more than welcome in our home to relax couple days. pk

Interesting. Inspiring. Respect, Jenny. You did it. I'm going to Kyrgyzstan in June, crossing (amongst others) the Tian Shan mountains. I won't be running, I'll be biking. Not only have I had people say "no" to me, I've had quite a big quarrel with a friend who basically told me I'm nuts and irresponsible and I will die out there.

@@johncaccioppo1142 My companion had to cancel on me due to her father's illness, so I decided to go to Georgia instead. Kyrgyzstan on my own, and for my very first bikepacking adventure at that, seemed crazy, even to me. Georgia was absolutely amazing though. If you want to read how it went, Google: bikerchickie medium Georgia on my mind. That should bring up the blog I wrote about it on Medium dot com. Enjoy!

I got to know your name in the recent Atlas Mountain race; started following you on Instagram and have found myself following you all the way here, to your KZread channel. Mountains of Heaven was simply astounding to watch. I clicked subscribe and hit the bell. You have a new fan.

you have the honour to be my second mountan idol after killian jornet, congratulations.

this reminds me a lot of the documentary "Grass: A Nation’s Battle for Life" (1924) that features nomadic peoples traversing mountain ranges and rivers as a community

Oh wow first i thought you already finished making the Movie about running the Atlas :O But this is even better now i have this to watch and soon enough the Movie about Marokko :D Thanks for bringing us this content its so inspiring ! I am looking forward to start my own Expedition soon !

You did it again Tough girl wow that was epically epic-ness LOL !! Your adventures are amazing, but your skills at recording them and telling a story are just as amazing. I will watch this again and share it with others. I am not surprised that you did this, as you are a tough girl for sure. Putting the low spots in there was a honest and emotional touch. You are a very original spirit Jennifer. I cannot wait to see what you edit together on your most recent adventure. I hope you stay true to both the adventurer and story teller in you.

I'm just impressed with the goal you set before yourself and the fact you really did it. I have long wanted to do something similar, at least on smaller scale, but I just do not know how to survive with such a small backpack :) I like all your videos, do not stop your adventires!
