  • 45: Quiet at the Northern Terminus - Titus Humphreys | Return to the PCT
    Feb 17 2026

    Titus Humphreys is an outdoor filmmaker and storyteller based in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Originally from Papua New Guinea and Australia, he brings a unique, global perspective to the rugged landscapes he documents. After five years working as a ski technician and bike mechanic, Titus is currently transitioning into full-time content creation, building a dedicated following through his signature blend of cinematic visuals and grounded, honest narratives. His work is defined by a commitment to "attainable adventure," focusing on the real struggles and quiet beauty of the outdoors rather than just the extreme highlights. But behind the high-quality visuals is a story of profound persistence. In 2022, Titus set out to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, only to leave at mile 800 due to burnout and homesickness. In 2024, he returned to the Mexican border to face that "unfinished business" and rewrite his story from the ground up.
