Maybe it's just the way the footage is edited but it looks like they spent quite a bit of time road walking. Interesting group list at the end.

Really good stuff! Great video that must really have taken some effort to film while on the challenge. Quite amazed at the tiny packs! Impressive!

I enjoyed those vids. I must confess the American accent triggers a slight negative response in me when I hear it - expecting the person to be a bit loud and over opinionated. My bad. But I warmed to the guy and found him enthusiastic and not overbearing. His gear vids are interesting and gave me food for thought. I liked the bit where he is opting for the little swiss army knife - I've carried that as part of my kit since starting.. and its so handy : )

Most of my gear and gear choices now seem to be aimed at my winter/late season trekking, but am tempted back into warmer weather hiking and as per Bigfoot - might give the ankle gaiter/shorts a go (I hate running hot) and look at the leggings and something like a minimus pant for camp wear.

Time to look at lightening the load for some late Summer outings (I'm onto physio now with my knee to get some muscle back!)

Darwin’s first episode is up. I like the new sparse commentary style. Some good videography. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I normally find him too polished, but enjoyed those, makes the tgo quite tempting...
