awesome video! now you need to hitch hike to the other side of the us border! im planning on doing a trip kind of like yours, not all the way to alaska but crossing US. im from mexico city so it should be a long trip! congrats and your trip! seriously really awesome!

Love hiking too, but the cash thing at the border is a bitch. I was on my way to MX. And U.S border gards said no way. So I went home.....for now

@sqazsquat depends, I eat a lot of different things. Usually in my backpack I have a stash of granola bars and the like. Sometimes some peanut butter, bread and ramen noodles. I like cheeseburgers, they taste good.

what do you eat when there aren't people to give you food?

@MaMonkey500 It's a real fun hitch, just need to be patient at times since there's few cars passing the further you get. Try to be walking when cars do pass, people tend to pick you up more when you're moving VS just sitting there. I think the cabin you're talking about is in Homer, AK, awesome spot.

where is this cabin? it looks hella cool!

haha im in their campervan. Thats the awesome thing of hitch hiking dude. and you were so lucky with the weather dude, incredible! I hitched hiked all over Europe. Huge respect for this incredible trip. i was gonna say you could pimp up your video with music shots a little bit, to make it more fun to watch. Respect u made it all the way thru yukon, i heard its crazy hard!. Im gonna make my way up from vancouver thru yukon to alaska. you have some advice for me how to hitch?
