Whole Trail
Every step. Every sound. Every bird named.
The whole trail, start to finish.
Up to twelve hours, in the order it happened. No music, no narration, no shortcuts through the boring parts. The audio runs unbroken from the trailhead to the car.

What this is
-
The audio is the video
Recorded on a stereo pair at collarbone height into a 32-bit float recorder. No music, no sound design, no noise reduction. When the wind picks up, you hear the wind pick up.
-
Every bird gets named
Bird IDs go in the closed captions. Turn it on if you want it.
The IDs come from running the recording through BirdNET after the hike. The tool is a guide, not an authority. If you catch a mistake, leave a timestamp in the comments.
-
Nobody talks
No narration, no face, no intro. The trail is the subject and the camera is just carrying the microphone down it.
-
Surfaces are stated up front
Paved, boardwalk, wheelchair and stroller access — listed on the title card and verified on the ground, not copied off a listing. Some people are watching because they can't walk it.
In production — Michigan
Eight trails, roughly thirty-five hours of walking.
Bars show approximate runtime, estimated at the 3 mph pace the finished films actually record. The videos are as long as the hikes were.
When a video goes up
One note per release. Nothing else.
Where it was shot, how long it runs, what the surface was like, and what the microphones caught. No sponsors, no digest, no reminders.
