Hi Team!

Just a quick message to share the first video of the 2026 anniversary season.

This one is a quick look back at the early years with Evelyn and Olivia. I know there are a lot of new viewers to the channel who probably don’t really know how this all began or how much the girls were such a huge part of it. So ,that’s what this video is all about!

Throughout the year I’ll be doing a lot of flashing back on YouTube shorts and Instagram Reels. Little clips of things not only from my time with the girls, but from some solo backpacking trips and ones with my many trail pals over the last number of years.

And of course a lot has been left on the cutting room floor as they say, and I’ll be sharing some of that as well. There’s even a clip in THIS video that has never been published before. See if you can pick it out…

I’ll also be publishing that frequently asked questions video in January and we’ve also got to get to work planning those 10 Epic hikes! I’ll be reaching out soon to have you help me make a few decisions :)

I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday season with family and friends and wish you a very very Happy New Year!

Talk soon,

Stuart
