Long Distance Trails transport backpackers and hikers along many miles of trail going in the same direction. Hikers can experiences a huge variety of landscapes, culture, and history within a single trail. In this video, I showcase my seven favorite through hikes I’ve ever done while filming Epic Trails.

  3. @carolguezen5829 on February 14, 2025 at 10:49 pm

    WOW. Newfoundland as your top pick! Love it!

  4. @AnetteChristiansen on February 14, 2025 at 10:51 pm

    Great video! You should add the Norwegian thruhike to your bucket-list;)

  5. @lv834 on February 14, 2025 at 10:54 pm

    Stupid list. Really stupid.

  8. @rawveganfoodforthought2333 on February 14, 2025 at 10:56 pm

    Check out the Laugavegur and Fimmvorouhals in Iceland, and the Tour du Mont Blanc in the alps ๐Ÿ˜

  9. @sabrinabenoit3454 on February 14, 2025 at 10:56 pm

    Have you been in SWEDEN ? The kungsleden ? Done a lot in England like the pennine way

  10. @kiezel87 on February 14, 2025 at 10:58 pm

    These aren’t thru hikes, these are multi-day hikes.

  11. @thirstymercfan on February 14, 2025 at 10:58 pm

    Jordan, australia and New Zealand big ticks and have been. Iโ€™m surprised Patagonia is not on there, el chalten and Torres del Paine are amazing. And EBC is amazing. Donโ€™t them all and highly recommend. Canโ€™t go wrong hiking in South Island of NZ. Amazing hikes Iโ€™ve done several

  12. @kenwbrenner on February 14, 2025 at 10:58 pm

    Thanks for this interesting and informational video.
    Two others that might make some’s list are:
    – Pinhoti Trail in Alabama
    – Ouachita Trail in Arkansas
    Both I hope to complete one day.

  13. @edujuri on February 14, 2025 at 11:00 pm

    I loved it, I share the feeling that the people you meet make the trails epic trails =).
    It makes me very happy that the list is so international and diverse.
    Cheers!

  14. @rj29839 on February 14, 2025 at 11:02 pm

    This is really great! Can you also do one for the USA? I am hoping to do the Camino but if things close because of the Delta Variant I am looking for a 6-10 day trek in the US.

  15. @meenarai7185 on February 14, 2025 at 11:05 pm

    iam not convinced.these r nothing against nepalese himalayan trail

  16. @mercyshaver5264 on February 14, 2025 at 11:08 pm

    Thank you ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’“

  17. @JB_FLYA69669 on February 14, 2025 at 11:09 pm

    Great video you have inspired me to go here thanks

  18. @lifeisbeautiful104 on February 14, 2025 at 11:11 pm

    Come to India & explore Himalayan treks.

  19. @musingwithreba9667 on February 14, 2025 at 11:12 pm

    As a Canadian, Newfoundland is definitely on my bucket list. For me, it’ll be the first leg of the Trans Canada Trail. The Newfoundland bit is about a month or so ๐Ÿ˜

  20. @Beyond_The_Beard on February 14, 2025 at 11:16 pm

    A bucket list hike for me is trekk Mountain Everest Basecamp but Iโ€™m still trying to plan a first time Hike or Backpacking trip.

  21. @klang180 on February 14, 2025 at 11:16 pm

    Wow I live in England and can get to the Pennine way quite easily and even I wouldn’t bother with it. Compared to those world beaters it doesn’t even deserve a breath. Unless you like field upon field of sheep and pretty boring farmland I would give it a miss. I say this as an Englishman, don’t bother with England.

  22. @donkeysaurusrex7881 on February 14, 2025 at 11:16 pm

    Very cool list!

  23. @Isitthough-v3h on February 14, 2025 at 11:17 pm

    Thereโ€˜s no such a thing as the Larapinta Mountains. You would have walked along the MacDonnell Ranges on the Larapinta trail. But indeed the landscape is a stunner.

  24. @christopherwalker1753 on February 14, 2025 at 11:17 pm

    Have you ever hiked in Michigan? Isle Royals or Pictured Rocks?

  25. @jessy5453 on February 14, 2025 at 11:18 pm

    Excellent video, thank you for shedding some light on some new places that I never considered. Keep on trekkin!

  26. @GratefulTrekker on February 14, 2025 at 11:19 pm

    These all look amazing so hard for you to pick an order I’m sure!!!

  27. @CJonesApple on February 14, 2025 at 11:19 pm

    Top five or seven best? Which?

  28. @jacobkingsford5209 on February 14, 2025 at 11:19 pm

    I know this is an old video but for a more wild UK thru-hike I would recommend the Cape Wrath trail in Scotland. You can have multiple days in a row without seeing a single other person, ancient mountains, the Caledonian mountains once part of the Appalachians back when it was they were 10km high. The west coast of Scotland is stunning, I would just recommend to watch out for midges and high wind if you’re doing more of the peaks.

  29. @JP-Travel-Drone on February 14, 2025 at 11:21 pm

    Thanks for sharing! Some great destination!

  30. @ericthompson5954 on February 14, 2025 at 11:21 pm

    From Eric. Thanks, Eric!

  31. @justingarcia5012 on February 14, 2025 at 11:22 pm

    Man! This video is epic! Keep it up!

  32. @mattg7345 on February 14, 2025 at 11:23 pm

    England does chill beer (lager), its the traditional ale that is served at cellar temperature.

  33. @fcboomstick on February 14, 2025 at 11:24 pm

    As a Brit, I wish to support our American friends in their cold beer endeavours! FYI English Ale isn’t served cold (and it’s disgusting) but our lagers are supposed to be cold, just like everywhere else.

  34. @ellerybice3787 on February 14, 2025 at 11:26 pm

    Red is only bragging about his self here, ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿฟ.

  35. @cherylkaye on February 14, 2025 at 11:28 pm

    As a Brit, I would like to clarify. We drink ale or bitter at room temp……although not always some craft ales would be chilled. What you call beer we call lager and that is served chilled. Stout is often served chilled now, although originally would have been warm. โ˜บ๏ธโœŒ๐Ÿป

    Loved this video, added some distance trails to my "wishlist", thanks for sharing. ๐Ÿ’œ

  36. @nebc_yukonyeti on February 14, 2025 at 11:29 pm

    Was shocked by the first choice & surprised that South America didnโ€™t make the list. Patagonia or Peru are definitely on my list & because of my roots the West Highland Way. Great video, thanks for sharing! ๐Ÿฅพ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆโค๏ธ

  37. @MohammadAli-re3bg on February 14, 2025 at 11:31 pm

  39. @mattfinch3895 on February 14, 2025 at 11:33 pm

    Pennine way is crap. Don’t bother.

  40. @bkboutdoorsbryanbartz7589 on February 14, 2025 at 11:33 pm

    Have you ever hiked the Appalachian trail beginning to end

  41. @michaelharris4503 on February 14, 2025 at 11:33 pm

    Wow! Epic filmography. Thank you for the bucket list. Have you tried the trail of St James in northern Spain? Iโ€™ve done it twice and just love the vibe.

  42. @Kylicall on February 14, 2025 at 11:35 pm

    Is it safe for women to hike in Jordan?
