Absolutly beautiful! one of the greatest travel documentaries i ever watch. well done my friend

Oh poor you.... other people everywhere could not even get in to the hospital or leave their home all over the world due to the covid lock down and you typicle are making that the 'comunist russian soldier did not let you just go where ever you want becouse you are english and love to talk SHIT about them.....

I could have watched for a few more hours. What beauty!!

PLEASE TAKE ME AWAY FOR CARRY YOUR TRIPODS

What a journey! Gonna do some hiking myself when I'm in Georgia in September.

The civilians seemed really kind! I would not personally go to Russia without speaking enough of the language to trick guards and bureaucrats.

Это очень круто. Ты молодец. Но я не понимаю почему тебя не пропустили в некоторые регионы

Presente her

You are incredible! Thank you deeply from my heart for sharing it! I’m preparing for Caucasian hike in Georgia and your story + your gear list are very inspiring and helpful! Thank you!!!! 😍

Well played Richard!

That was incredible

Great video! I'm curious why there isn't much from the Georgian and South Ossetian side? So if you came down from Russia -> Svaneti, South Ossetia, Tusheti. Greetings

Well done Richard, long live the Caucasus!

Read your article in TGO, great journey and beautiful video, dude.

Hello Richard, first of all, I congratulate you. But the Caucasus is not Russia. My ancestors were exiled from our lands 160 years ago and were subjected to genocide and oppression unprecedented in history. Today, more than 5 million Circassians live in exile, kilometers away from their homeland Circassia and the beautiful mountains of the Caucasus. The Northwest Caucasus has always been Circassia and will continue to be CİRCASSİA. All the mountains you have climbed were once mountains where Circassians rode freely. Now we can watch our lands on RUclips. This is very painful for us. My heart burns with the love of my homeland, which I have never seen. We are devastated that our lands are under Russian occupation

Great presentation - most enjoyable. I've grown increasingly curious about this part of the world since exploring my DNA (25% South Caucasus)

Nice video! Welcome to Romania. I run this year, trail marathon 46k in Fagaras Mountains 😀 Awesome mountains. 🏔️ Awesome vlogging there.

Listening to your experience with law enforcement what i feel is its understandable they being worried about a british dude walking through disputed territories specially given how UK is trying to destroy Russia alone with rest of the west. So take it easy mate. We know how British law enforcement treat us Asians when we are in London let alone in some forest or disputed area alone even without our countries being no threat whatsoever.

We, as residents of the Caucasus, also suffer from these military and police. This is Russian policy, and ordinary people suffer from this.

Wow much respect man. I've learned so much from you, this is really inspiring. One technical question if you don't mind me asking, how did you manage with the fire and cooking your food in places where there were no trees/wood?

Such an well done and beautifully put together video!

you are laughing, but my friend from Russia, upon entering France, was asked “how do you feel about Putin” . Thanks for adventure 🧡

what u don't understand is that Russia is all about CIA and MI6 interference, terrorism, and coups. These two countries are the most evil on the earth. your trip in russia wasn't ruined by russian police. it was ruined by your own gov't. 😎some places in Afghanistan r jusst like this.🥸

He is great! His ability as a national leader of Russia is on top of D. Trump and J. Biden. You have eyes to see.

Tbh I can't blame the officials for being a little suspicious of a British guy hiking basically on the border of a warzone. Chechnya has been in active rebellion for a fair amount of time.

What a beautiful place mashallah

Wonderful place

idk wtf it is with american surveys asking me whether i am a male caucasian, tf do i look like my name is khabib and i come from dagestan? xD

Great experience indeed. What a journey. But i was a bit disappointed as you skipped my country Georgia. Watching your film i was hoping to see you hiking along Kazbegi--Tusheti trails via Khevsureti region which are well marked on the hiking maps.

Very nice video and amazing mountains! But brother aren’t you scared of bears or some wild animals ?

Thank you for sharing this amazing experience ❤

Awesome film and awesome adventure. Great job. I hope to be in the mountains in northern Azerbaijan for a bit next summer and this is a really exciting window on that world.

This is massively underrated! Amazing video and amazing interactions :)

great film! one of the greatest I have seen on youtube. as an Azerbaijani, who studied and worked in Europe for 15 years, I can assure you that bureaucracy in Europe is as disgusting as you have experienced throughout your journey, but the european one takes another form. if you want to do something unconventional (but still perfectly legal) you get to fight the bureaucracy and the apparatus if you are not lucky enough to be born as an EU citizen. My point here is that, regardless which country or state you are in, the main enemy of people who are free in their spirits, and want to explore something interesting - is bureaucracy that create illogical, stupid, useless hurdles that you need to jump over or pass by.

Another great video. You went through some of my favorite areas of the Western Alps. If I may just give you a little, unsolicited piece of advice: be careful with abandoning trails or attempting to make your own route when climbing mountains. The Petite Aguille du Glacier climb was breathtaking, but I wonder if you are aware of the dangers of venturing onto ridges where you have never been before and where no-one is likely to find you, if you get lost / hurt. The higher reaches of the Val Very have no phone coverage, and if you suddenly have a problem, there won't be help coming. Also consider deteriorating visibility conditions (clouds, fog), or adverse weather (high winds). If you get caught by them while on such a ridge, you are trapped. I'm just giving you my honest advice as a fellow mountain enthusiast who grew up in the Alps: don't get yourself in situations from which there might be no easy way out. Thanks again for your videos!

Wow, what an incredible journey. Thank you for sharing it with us!

What a journey! Just an immense achievement, with some epic days! The filming and editing were ace. Very many congratulations, Rich. I'm sorry it's all come to an end; I shall miss looking forward to the next episode. Thank you so much for sharing.

Beautiful, inspiring stuff again!

Great achievement, well done. Some of that scenery was incredible, an experience of a lifetime 👍🏻

Wow - what a great adventure - and what a GREAT set of videos - thank you!

Thank you! Looking forward to future adventures.

Great series mate, loved each and every video 🔥

" I feel , just so, Free !..." you nailed it bro !

Great achievement and thanks for sharing! Your trips are always inspiring to watch! I especially enjoyed your explanations of the more technical terrain from the point of view of a long distance hiker. One small bit of criticism would be that in this particular series of videos I feel that your frequent complaining sometimes becomes repetitive and hard to justify (compare Type II vs Type III Fun). Sometimes we just need to give ourselves a few more days to enjoy the experience.

Great production!

Thanks for taking us along the ride! :)

Bravo lad!

Well done Richard, a wonderful achievement and journey, the last video was well worth waiting for. Back to the grind now or have you another adventure up your sleeve, that's if you haven't already started one. !!! A big congratulations , brilliant.

Amazing achievement and great series, loved watching all of them 👍

Hey Richard! How nice it is to see you in my region, Piedmont. I was born and raised among those mountains and, of course, I climbed Monviso, which is the most iconic of all. If you'd like some suggestions about more hikes or where to go feel free to ask. In particular, check out peaks such as Argentera, Gelas and Marguareis. You will end up in beautiful places well far form the beaten path.
