We make videos of the world’s best outdoor adventures. Based in New England but traveling often.
Hosted by Chris and Chris, we are professional photographers and filmmakers, and amateur adventurers.
We will take you along as we bike, hike and ski with each other and others that make the Northeast outdoor scene so unique. We'll be wandering off the beaten path with the occasional self-induced sufferfest as well as adventuring on well known and well worn paths.
We invite you subscribe, comment and join us as we explore the outdoors and document it together.
Great video. Good for you for being honest with yourselves and not pushing too far. I live in southern Maine. Hope to see you guys out there sometime. Got a couple friends crazy enough to come out on my adventures. I get inspiration from videos like this. Thank you 🙏 Stay safe out there. 💪🏼
That's exactly why we started this channel - to show off (mostly) New England adventures and to hopefully inspire more folks to adventure with friends. Hope to see ya out there!
Baxter State Park does not provide and avy resources for Kathadin. All avy knowledge and backcountry preparedness would need to be done by the individual once in the park. We're pretty familiar with Katahdin and the park, with the biggest unknowns in winter being snow conditions and winter weather in remote, backcountry like Baxter State Park. The best resource is still the park website which has an abundance of info on winter travel. You can always call the park and ask additional questions as well and they'll be happy to answer. There are several older trip reports from when blog posts and summitpost where popular, but they're a bit dated now. They do still provide a good sense of what things look and feel like when it comes to traveling in Baxter State Park in winter. We have another video from Katahdin in winter that's from a longer trip if you want to see more of what the park is like in winter.
Hey guys, great ride, hike and video. I was just there recently, camping at Lunksoos, did 75 gravel miles in KWWNM, plus 12 miles kayaking. The overlook section will be closed for the next year or so for maintenance and improvements. There is a 3 mile detour on the Rocky Pond road. There was also a 7 mile detour before the Sand Bank camp but that is now open. The section of the IAT to Barnard Mt down to Orin Falls had been cleared out and is worth the trip. I have been camping, hiking and cycling in BSP for over 50 years and now KWWNM just adds to the adventure. I also visited the new KWW contact station and it is spectacular although not officially open yet. Thanks for the video, loved it and recognized just about all the areas.
Appreciate it Maurice! We did just heard of the loop road closure. Definitely a bummer to hear for folks who were hoping to check it out for foliage, but will be neat to see how they improve it over the next year. Is that IAT section cleared for biking as well or just cleared for foot traffic?
Awesome video and effort. A true fastpacking adventure! Also, how'd you guys like the new Aero 28 pack? I just heard about them, but haven't seen any real-world opinions. Looks like they worked really well, and you certainly used them for their intended use.
Appreciate it! We definitely liked the Aero 28. Worked perfectly for this mission and its intended use for sure. We’d recommend it, the folks at Hyperlite are good friends!
Great video, I especially like the drone shots! I hike that section every year, and also maintain a section of it for the Maine AT Club. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for dropping us a line on this. We were also happy to use all the drone shots. We got lots of footage from different shoots and projects over the years and a few shots worked perfect for our location in this video to show the 100 Mile Wilderness (we didn’t bring a drone along with us for weight purposes)
Thank you for sharing and being real! It’s great to ride the high of adventures where everything goes as planned and our performance meets our pre conceived expectations of ourselves. I’m thinking you both will remember this trip, the struggles both physically and mentally over some of those “easier” adventures. The support, bond and friendship you share is so evident as well as the tears at the end. Bravo!
This is the kind of riding I would like to ray a Lauf fork on. I would have to do it first rigid and then the Lauf to see how much physical endurance it would conserve.
I'm super intrigued by this approach to Katahdin in the winter. I'd love to ski it but I the logistics of the longer approach have always deterred me. Could I send you an email with some questions on what it took to pull this off?
I just hiked katahdin in July. Absolutely always breathe taking. Been thinking about a hike in winter. Look amazing. Great photos and video. Thank you.
It is! Still kind of weird layout and park in our opinion. Stuck in between a place where it should obviously be protected, but still has an open recreational feel that lumber company lands have. Regardless the Katahdin Loop Road is awesome and they’ve been working on adding new biking trails as well as hiking trails which should give it a more “park” feel in the future.
That's my favorite place to hike...I've done alot of those peaks you did. 1 at a time !! What you guys did here was a tremendous feat. Even though those mountains are not 4,000 footers..its still typical east coast mountain hiking and .alot of those trails are no joke and will kick your butt...rocks and roots and steep! Well done fellas. You guys are beasts!! Hats off to you ! Another great video.
Another great video. You guys killed it out there. Good job knowing when to call it quits. I bet that ocean water felt amazing after all the heat you endured!
Biking to the top of Cadillac is pretty cool, my brakes did not appreciate the descent! I have yet to hike it though, it always so busy during the nice seasons that I don’t feel like fighting the crowds. I ended up doing my bike runs in November, which was pretty icy! Looks like you guys had the right idea by going really early!
Pretty sure we were all on 47mm. If you’re confident in your bike handling, a 40mm tire would do just fine…but 47 is nice for the KWW portion of the ride, which at times isn’t the smoothest of gravel.
