hey guys welcome to the channel if you are new here, we are trekking pals Habiba and Alex
We're amateur hikers and backpackers and we create video content
every Tuesday. In today's episode we're going to talk about five movies or
documentaries about hiking that you can watch at home while practicing social distancing.
The first of two documentaries on our list mile mile and
a half chronicles the John Muir Trail because of the amount of snow because of
the amount of these filmmakers and photographers are sought to capture the
trail in the middle of the year GMT hikers haven't had the opportunity to
see all the second pack doesn't weigh anything and your breathing's fine it's
all about putting one foot strike this film seems to accurately capture much of
the magnificence on the John Muir Trail
I put the lid I really hope they never make it easy to get to this place we
need to earn that view you need to earn that
there's not a lot of another documentary on her list life in a walk is about a
man diagnosed with cancer he'll decides to hike the Camino de
Santiago with his son say the sentence I wish I spent more time with my dad
once you family doctor guy examines me and says I think you got cancer I'm
gonna need to do a biopsy I got out of there I ran to the car I'm not gonna go
through that slippery slope getting sick getting caught getting radiated getting
poisoned less of a cinematic story this documentary is just a father and a son
hiking the trail and sharing their adventures and seeing the people they
kind of get the feeling if this hadn't been a movie on its own this would have
been something Netflix would regardless this is exactly what do you want to see
in a hiking movie right now do you people hiking experiencing the land the
next movie is the way starring Martin Sheen
he loses his son while his son is hiking on the santiago de camino trail he goes
to retrieve his son's body has him cremated and then decides to take him on
the trail and finishes the trail with his son he of course encounters some
hardships along the way has some time to reflect and ultimately has to come to
terms with the passing of his son while some of the movies on this list are
documentaries this one is an actual honest movie always get his way
yes now this one's a horror film what good would be a hiking movie without a
few isolated hikers stranded on in the middle of nowhere backcountry actually
pits two hikers against not only creepy can't meet a bear this remarkably this
movie is actually jaws but in the woods
as if being lost in the woods without a cellphone a map or any directions wasn't
already scary enough thank you for being here it really means a lot it's our
pleasure I mean it's a not a pleasant time we were just very sorry reverser if
you hadn't noticed this last one is a comedy a walk in the woods stars Robert
Redford and Nick Nolte you have gone mad it's my old pup temple it's the perfect
place for you to spend the night rather than retire Bill Bryson decides
to hike the Appalachian Trail you are not doing this alone how would you like
