„I can‘t write well“ he says and then proceeds to talk for 45 min straight not being boring for a single second of it

For months, the youtube algorithm has been recommending this video. I ignored it probably 50 times. I guess the algorithm knows me better than I know myself because this video is incredible! So glad I finally clicked it. You are a gifted storyteller.

As a guy that spends a lot of time watching short term videos on tiktok and instagram reels, I find it amusing that this man has managed to make a 46 minute story so interesting, that not in a single moment while watching this, did my brain consisting of fried dopamine recepters, think to wander my attention over to something else. truly an amazing storyteller

Completely stumbled upon this video by accident but holy moly did I need it.... I didn't even realize how much I needed it until you started talking about that desire, that need to be lost in the woods, alone... And maybe all of us at some point should say "fuck it" and go do something spontaneous that we aren't ready for, because that's the spice of life if you think about it... I've been - lets say - wallowing in my own depression, suffering from a lack of purpose and direction while simultaneously having everything I could ask for. A roof over my head, 3 square meals a day, a loving family that supports and cares for me, a career that pays my bills and lets me enjoy hobbies I've always wanted to pursue... Yet. There are still days that I cant get out of my own head, days where it feels like I can't do anything right and my whole life will come tumbling down around me. Days where I wish I could run off into the wilderness and never be heard from again. But I know that won't fix my problems, my own desire of self preservation would drive me back to the "real world" soon enough only to be met by all the things I selfishly abandoned, which have now grown to unfixable proportions and thus manifested in my greatest fear of ruining my own life over my own selfishness... Anyway. No one will read this but I guess what I'm trying to say is exactly the message this video is trying to convey, that I'm very lucky, and I should be thankful for the little things in my life and strive for bigger and better but running away off into the woods - as appealing as it sounds on shitty days at the office - will not magically fix my life or my mental health, only I can do that. I'm sure none of this made any sense but after 3 beers and a little self reflection, it feels good to get (whatever this is) off of my chest. Thank you.... From: A random American from Minnesota.

The story about meeting people on the Appalachian Trail reminds me about how five year olds meet other kids in the park and immediately become best friends for the hour they're there, then leave and never see each other again. Thrown into a world we can't completely control, we act like children and become ourselves again.

"They hated eachother as new couples love eachother. It was an art to watch." Precise, like Hemingway, you say

I think you wrote something really profound here, and you're an excellent narrator. Thank you for speaking to the restlessness a lot of us feel, I'm just as guilty about fantasizing scenarios that would "fix me" and this story really is grounding!

As someone who took off on a very long hike too, the west coast version of the Appalachian trail, PCT. I was the most authentic and human version of myself out there , after 6 months when I finished it to my great surprise, I still didn’t want to return to the world. But when I came back I also found beauty being around others, to write with a pen, paint, read, decorate a space, land in the same place each night. I miss the wilderness everyday, but I know I am not for returning, the people are more beautiful to me now. It is my most cherished adventure. Thank you for this video, it helped me process that lingering yearning for the journey.

"10 years passed, in the way 10 years does" is an amazing phrase. Someone younger won't understand how that happens until it does.

“10 years passed in the way the 10 years does” - love it, this line gave me chills for some reason.

I am watching this while sitting in my cabin. In the woods. In the highlands of Hawaii. I didn't come here with any delusion that I'd automatically be happy, but the real revelation, is that there is no revelation.

Me literally in a cottage in the woods and living my best life. It was the answer for me.

It's both comforting and saddening to know that I am not unique in my struggles, that everything I'm feeling has been felt before, it all has an answer
