Appreciate Ya!

Your PCT series was instrumental in helping me cope with a divorce and difficult transition several years back. You are great at content creation and sharing your knowledge and experiences. I’m glad you’re pursuing projects that stir your passion and that you can share your skills on this medium.

No explanation required. Everyone has the opportunity to alter their course, change their mind or just hang it up. Welcome back...

Authenticity shines brighter than anything else. I’m so glad you took time away to prioritize the things that needed your attention most. Grateful that you’re back on your own terms. ✌️

You are one of a handful of people responsible for opening up my eyes to the whole hiking world!!! Everyone needs a break to step back and reset. I definitely understood and I am thrilled that you are back. Good luck and can't wait for the new content!! 👍🏻👍🏻

You do you. If it makes you happy, do it. You'll likely always have an audience of some kind. I know I always look forward to your content. Please continue the deeper dives and intimate conversations. Push the boundaries and status quo. Your authenticity is appreciated. ☮️❤️🤝

Great to see you back. Sorry you were suffering in 2021. Your videos probably helped hundreds of people with their own mental health. I'd love to hear about your bike trip in the UK. I live in Scotland so loved your video on the TGO

The people that matter are glad you’re back. We got you dude, always.

That’s is about the most ignorant thing I’ll hear someone say today. Give him a big wet kiss now will ya.

I'm glad you're back, it was generous of you to explain your thought process and feelings to us. I enjoy behind-the-scenes types of videos and showing us the process of making content. Hiker towns and resupply points are also interesting. Thanks!

Life is full of seasons. I’m glad you were able to take some time in that season of your life to refresh and renew. Also glad to see you re-inspired to make content again. Much respect for the raw honesty you’ve ALWAYS brought to your videos. Keep it up!

Welcome back, brother! You've inspired thousands to get out and hike. You don't owe us anything. If anything, we owe you our gratitude.

Loved your channel for a good few years and more recently your podcast. Great that you feel you can create content again. I’ve always loved your honesty and integrity, as well as trusting your knowledge on the kit you have used. A real role model for the outdoor community as well as KZread…and society in general. All the best from UK.

Welcome Back!!! Nothing but love and support. Major props for investing in your marriage/family life. Look forward to new content.

Welcome back Always enjoying your hiking and other outdoor content So supporting and looking forward to more videos

Love this new model, Darwin! Your podcast was fantastic, so anything that draws on the honesty and authenticity you showed there is going to be incredible. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for being you. Your authenticity shines through your videos and podcasts. I'm glad you're back on KZread. It appears that your respite provides you a new found appreciation for how you spend your time and energy. I hope to see you on the trail here in AZ some time. Take care!

Thank you for being raw and real. I totally understand where you are coming from. I am so glad you have changed your mindset and most of al your priorities. Continue to grow, improve and change.

I’m sure I’ve missed more of your videos than I’ve seen, but I appreciate what you’re doing and completely support your decision to make time with your family because family should always be first. I’m glad you’re getting your gear company going and making products you can be proud to stand behind. If I weren’t so old I would love to make my own gear. Good luck with your endeavors and may you find success at every turn.

Welcome back! I look forward to seeing your new content as you share your journey with us. Thank you.

Welcome back!! I just spent much of the morning getting my camping gear sorted for a trip in about a week and a half, so seeing you on my screen seemed perfect. Here's hoping your new company is a thriving experience. That shirt looks fantastic.

It's great to have you back making some content. Can't wait! I picked up a sun hoodie today. Can't wait to get it to try it out

Just happy you are back and we can look forward to seeing all of your travels.

Glad to hear your getting that work/life balance - its always a challenge, I know. Appreciate your candidness and yes, would be good to see some more like this. Thanks for uploading.

Great Update Darwin! Glad to see your back. I’ve always checked in from time to time to see what’s up. This video was kinda deep for me…but I appreciate what your saying and being transparent. Looking forward to what’s next. 😊

Glad you're back. I met you once in Pine AZ and have always enjoyed your videos.

Welcome back Darwin! Excited to see your new videos!

Love your content and welcome back. I'm excited to see your TMB footage and how your perspective may differ from mine after the hike this year. We met briefly in Chamonix.

Great to see you again! You are one of the people that helped me get off my a$$ in the first place and get outdoors, so thank you. I love the talking head off the scripted cuff style and look forward to hearing about your journey and lessons learned along the way. ❤

Always like your videos where you dive in to thoughts and actions and are just genuine. Your perspective always get me thinking no matter the subject. Looking forward to whatever content you post!

I was gutted when you left, but so happy when you came back, really love your content, especially gear stuff, I’ve made a lot of positive changes in my gear for hiking and camping in Wales from your videos. Thanks for what you do and keep on trekking.

I’ve always enjoyed your content and your honesty. I do like this format. Looking forward to your videos.

Always like what you share on your experiences. MY personal favorite videos are the hikes you film or anything you film outdoors. Can't hike like I used to so I enjoy being there vicariously! ❤😊

Totally awesome seeing you back and can't wait to see what you have in store for us!

I'm glad you are sharing your content again. I do enjoy everything you've done. Looking forward to see where we go next.

Welcome back It’s great to have you back. Looking forward to hearing more from you. This kind of content is great. It’s to hear you talk about what matters to you.

thanks for all the content, I always enjoy watching!

Glad you are back! I Just finished re-watching your PCT hike series.

Glad to see you are back. I enjoyed this style of video, looking forward to more.

I am glad to see your back and completely understand the need for a hiatus. Most people have those moments in life where you need that mental health break and need to refocus. I am excited to see what adventures you share!

Welcome back! It's good you took time for yourself and got your life straight. Looking forward to seeing what you're going to be up to next.

All the best chap. Really like your content. All the best for the future. Look forward to seeing where you go with everything. Like gear reviews, deep stuff OK and also like the less produced ones out on trail more actually. Warm regards. Sheffield England.

I really like this style of video. I’m glad you’re back and doing better mentally. It sounds like you’ve got a lot of great opportunities since you left KZread. I’m happy to hear it and look forward to supporting you through the channel and through your gear company.

Nice to see you back. Looking forward to your content. Glad you and yours are happy.

Glad you're back. Definitely appreciate your transparent exit from KZread as well as why you're back. That made me want check out why you're back and to continue following. I watch to learn, be inspired, or be entertained. Having diverse content like you do allows me to pick and choose depending on my mood. So, welcome back and I look forward to what you will post. Thanks.

Thnx for the video Darwin. Appreciate your honesty. And yes: I was rather disappointed when you left, because Ioved and felt inspired by your hiking videos. So .... welcome back; it feels good to have you around once more!

Great to see you back…. You always put out a great message an vibes… wish you all the BEST….🍺🍺

Darwin, I’m so excited to see you back. I love all your videos. You do such an excellent job. I’m looking forward to seeing what you have to share. I’m sure it will be as awesome if not better than those in the past. What would I like to see? I believe you made a video or two a long time ago about creating videos. I would like to see a new video on creating outdoor videos and photography. It doesn’t have to be super intense, maybe some helpful hints and tricks. Thanks for all you do. Wishing you the best.

Thank you for this update. I appreciate your content.,

Met you in Dahlonega, GA and so glad to hear from you and learn that you'll be making content again. You are an excellent communicator and I'm very much looking forward to your new stuff. Take as much time as you need for everything else. Your audience and fans will always be happy with anything you decide to share.

This is really good Darwin! I am so glad you are in that place where your creativity has blossomed again!! That’s important! Creativity can get rug burn! I love hearing the healing sir!! You are loved also!

Thank you for sharing everything. I’m happy to see you back here. Your content is fantastic and I was saddened when you left. So welcome back and I hope the passion within you remains!

Bro I missed you! So happy to hear you prioritized what’s important. Thanks for sharing so much. Glad to see your back! 🎉❤

Thank you for being here, Darwin. You have been instrumental in my preparation before coming to the US to walk sections of the PCT. After just having completed the most profound wilderness backpacking experiences in my life (Three Sisters, Mount Adams and Goat Rocks Wilderness Areas), I’m taking a few ‘zeros’ in Spokane WA to recover, resupply and re-assess the next wilderness backpacking adventure in the PNW.

I just wanted to say you inspired me to get out there and hike more. Do what you have to, and help yourself first. Thank you for your videos, and take care!

Glad you are back on YT! Nice hearing about your adventures.

You are a good talker and easy to listen too. I may not watch all of your content, but I do watch enough of them and I do enjoy your channel. Hope you are always around even if its occasionally... Keep doing what you do because you do inspire many people!

Glad you're back. Love your videos. It never gets old. Welcome back. 😊

Welcome back ! Always enjoyed your video. God bless.

Great to see you back! Always enjoyed your content and adventures.

Love your work! You are appreciated.

Glad your back and thank you for this video.

You keep doing what you're doing, it's all good, looking forward to continue watching as I have over the years.

Very Happy to see you back Darwin! I enjoy your video' s get me get up and get out there just for a day hike and learn and see your video's looking Forward and Up! from Dave in Labrador City, Labrador Canada

Didn't get to do my AT hike this year but you're still inspiring me to Darwin! Did a overnight hike this year. Glad to see you back regardless.

Always loved your content, good to see you back!

Glad you are ready to get back making videos. You've inspired people to get out there and that we can backpack no matter what our ages, abilities or budgets! Appreciate you!
