What a beautiful video. It had Kraig Adams vibes but you made it your own and that's just lovely (I've seen so many "copies" of his style, which became boring at some point). Your video had something unique. And I loved seeing somebody hiking with his dog. He's so trusty and brave, what a good boy. The part of him crossing the suspension bridge in the beginning was just so cute. "Oh my, what is this shaky ground, I don't like it, but Yens is doing it, so can do it as well." Great you were able to give him 2 days of to do the ladder section. Thank you for sharing.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to write such a big compliment to me! Glad you enjoy me taking my malinois with me. I haven't seen anyone else do that yet. He surely is trained to do those hikes and obeys my commands well otherwise I wouldn't take him with me. Adopted him at 11 months and started hiking with him in the mountains when he was 1,5 years old. Haha, he was indeed a bit skeptical about the bridge and made me get abrasian on my knee when I went back to the camera. He does indeed trust me whenever I do something he follows along. Thanks again for the the comment! I really like creating those videos and whenever I got enough time to do multi day hikes I will take it. I got multiple ones planned for the summer! Stay along for the journey!

I watched this video repeatedly all day How lovely.. especially your dog Do you have a file of your route

Mon père m’a fait marcher 20 km tous les dimanches dans les années 80, je ne comprenais pas pourquoi mais je le faisais…. Au bout de deux ans, il m’a dit qu’on allait aller faire un tour tous les deux dans la montagne, sans ma mère… et on a fait le tour du Mont Blanc, pendant 10 ou 15 jours, je ne sais plus…. Je ne comprenais son but à l’époque, alors que je n’avais que 12 ans…. Mais aujourd’hui, je suis fier d’avoir vécu cette expérience avec lui. On s’est retrouvé face a une tempête au niveau du refuge du col du bonhomme, on ne voyait plus rien, on avait peur, on a trouvé une maison abandonnée ou un couple s’était réfugié…. Quelle souvenir…. Je sais que par la suite il voulait qu’on aille au sommet mais on ne l’a jamais fait…. J’ai aujourd’hui 48 ans. Je suis tellement fier de l’avoir fait avec lui. Je suis heureux d’avoir fait plaisir à mon père par cette aventure, car je l’ai vu, il était heureux

To wander is such places alongside your best friend. What more could one desire? Life just doesn't get any better.

No words,no explanations…just relaxing music and beautiful views…I started watching the videos thinking that I’d watch just a couple of minutes,then another couple then I watched it all. Beautiful and it was cool to see your companion hiking with you,looks a really nice and trusty doggie. Thank you for your video.

التناغم بين أصوات الطبيعة ومظاهرها يأخذ بمشاعرك وأحاسيسك أبعد بكثير جدا من أن تدمج معها أصوات الموسيقى ولو كانت تلك الموسيقى تبدو عذبة إلا أنها تأخذ بأحاسيسك في غير الاتجاه الذي تأخذك إليه مظاهر الطبيعة واصواتها معا؛ لأن مظاهر الطبيعة وأصواتها تتجلى فيهما يد الخالق وجماله فلا اكتئاب و لا قلق بل السعادة والطمأنينة، شكرا لك على الفيديو الرائع لقد حقق في نفسي كثيرا من ذلك، وعفوا على المداخلة؛ لكن التجربة أكبر دليل.

I try to make it as immersive as possible. Thanks for the kind words!

The fact this mountain has an actual (it seems) free to use lodge for camping that's already very advanced. The "time" markers on the signs telling you on average how long it would take you to walk a certain route... or the ropes put in place on hard to climb bits. There have been some hikes here in the UK that I wish I had at least those ropes tied to poles so I could hold on to. Worst thing is when going up really steep rocks and your foot slips and you feel your heart sinking looking down at about 300 metre drop (or worse)... Well, any length over 50m drop is pretty much deadly by my reckoning.

Amazing! Want to do this with my boys when they're old enough. Really a dream journey 🙏

@@YensBastiaens It's not solo when you have such a great companion. I live in the Netherlands, and we went both skiing in winter and often hiking in summer in the Austrian Alps, but unfortunately our dog then went to either family, friends or a place where you could drop your dog for a week or three. Would have loved to go hiking with one or two of the dogs I really grew up with. The last one being a female Rottweiler we had when I was 9 or 10 until my 17th because of bone cancer, she would have loved it. THe other and first dog from my birth to 7 or 8 a Danish dog but the size might have made it more complicated, plus he was more lazy.

I'm an American and I did this hike back in July. If the language barrier is the only thing holding you back, it's the smallest obstacle. This is an extremely popular hike and sees tourists from all over the world and the common language of choice is English. I think the most difficult bit was simply fitness and costs. It's expensive to travel Western Europe.
