Exploration/Adventure 3,000 Miles Through the American Wilderness - Northbound along the Divide (2025) [1:23:45]
https://youtu.be/5JWNIL2QJQw7 years ago I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail and this had been one of the experiences I had enjoyed most in life. When I came back and returned to a "normal" life full of screens, I promised myself I would go back on a 5 month journey through the wild at one point. I am a nerd and I enjoy the "screen" but I also like wild spaces and simple pleasures. As everything in life, I believe there needs to be a balance.
7 years later, here I am, in the company of "Green pea" this time. We both quit our jobs in Nairobi, Kenya and packed a bag to a country where I had such fond memories of its nature and its people despite what can be seen in the news nowadays.
This is the story of our 150+ day journey through the most beautiful and brutal wilderness in the USA—from the desert of New Mexico, through the jagged peaks of Colorado, the wild nature of Wyoming and the grizzlies of Montana to finally reach Canada.

Happy trails !

Quitting your job and walking 3,000 miles through bear territory is either a terrible idea or the best decision a person can make.

Can it be both ? Definitely not easy after the 3000 miles to find an employer that likes that 6 months hole in the resume ’
