They were great pictures at all times...much better than the usual ones.
Did he have the camera on a stick...or something?....or was someone else actually with him?
The more hits this guy gets, the prouder he will become of his stupidity.

I agree that leaving SJPP at 2:00pm in the rain is pure folly, but that is only the start of a beautiful video of what turned out to be an incredible journey for this young man. If you don't watch the entire video you miss the face-splitting full-on-joyful smile at the end that shows what a miracle a Camino experience can be.
With hindsight experienced pilgrims know not to leave SJPP that late in the day in inclement weather, but this man had youth and naivete on his side. And I think it is impossible to tell what really happened with the man who gave him a lift - where he was picked up and dropped off was unclear - and it was all probably a misunderstanding (in the dark, in the rain, in Spanish or Basque).
If you do watch the video, I encourage you to watch the whole thing and not judge him by his uncensored encounter with his own humanity.
I would have to agree.tyrrek said:I watched it all. If I were him I might have edited some of it before posting it on YouTube -that's all! Buen Camino!

Gosh folks...how blessed you all are to never have made bad decisions and suffer the consequences of the choices you've made

Break the rules!
Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly!
Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile !
The video is worth watching as against odds he smiled!
Are you saying that the Camino is worth dying for?Life is short!
Break the rules!
NREY12--- I watched the whole video and I am pretty sure so did most of the people who posted. The comments above referred to that first day decision to start on the Camino when just about everything and everybody around him adviced to wait. The fact that he went on to survive that first day and finished the Camino makes no difference whatsoever on how dumb his decision making process was which is what people are commenting on.nreyn12 said:I'm wondering if anyone who commented here has watched the entire video.....

Hubris??why all the red font?
Tough to read.......? My background is BLUE so RED and Black is actually MUCH easier for me to read--- wish EVERYBODY's posts were in REDNoQ said:Just curious, but why all the red font? It's tough to read. Are red comments more important so their penners feel an inner need to highlight their points this way?
why all the red font?

Just a reminder that you can
add color-users to you Foes list, and never see their posts
Pieces said:is it a sign of old age when one starts thinking "people used to be nicer on this forum" ?
Olivares said:Sorry nreyn12, but to watch this video and post to say that "all is well that ends well" is possibly just as dangerous. I think there is a lesson to be learned on this video and it seems to me you are actually the one missing it.
