I’m going through the most heartbreaking loss of my life right now and your videos are really helping me stay positive on what a beautiful world we live in that is out there waiting to be explored. I’ve lost someone in my life who I’ve endlessly explored all over the world with and your videos help me remember that I can still enjoy these experiences alone, too.
I hiked the Tour De Mt Blanc at the age of 64, a week after the death of my sister. At the time, I didn't realize how full of grief and burnt out I was, but the hike with good friends, brought me back to life. I know these mountains quite well. They are visually magnificent and a good workout. 😀
I don't think I know a more soothing filmmaker than you man, like I am emotionally at ease watching your work, and I feel like that's that's literally the hardest thing to do in a filmic medium -- kudos to finding a way to let the audience sit in the moments you capture and doing the best to capture your emotional feeling of "at ease" while you hike this incredible, breath-taking scenery.
This guy is awesome, another guy I enjoy watching is Erik Normark who similarly makes wilderness and hiking videos. His videos are almost completely without talking and just nature sounds for audio. He treks in Northern Sweden. You should check him out, it's a relatively small channel.
Hey Kraig, I don't know how often you go through these comments, of if you read them much at all, but I just wanted to say I hope you never get tired of making these videos. You're a funny guy and all and your vlog videos are awesome - but these videos with barely any diologue, beautiful music and amazing video work are some of the most truly theraputic things I've ever seen, and the recaps at the end are really interesting, informative and very easy to absorb. Please keep up the amazing work, keep petting animals across the planet and keep sharing your incredible work. All the best from Toronto.
I essentially just spent 20+ minutes of my life watching a guy walk, eat, drink, sleep, followed by talking towards the latter half of the video. Best time spent this week so far 😁
To be clear, a significant percentage of the trail is on paved/dirt roads going through towns and villages. But, yes, the vast majority of the hike is high up in the mountains far removed from any signs of civilization.
I love how there are nature, nice & tasty food, architecture/buildings, calming music, ANIMALS. I watch this to deal with my anxiety & forget about the stuff that is going on in my real life right now (i'm going to have a surgery & it's stressing me out). This also kinda inspires me. Thank you for these videos.
I am from Hong Kong and the current unrest and our fight for freedom has put me in a depressed state. Somehow, there's something about your video that is just so calming, thank you.
Today, im in FRANCE with you...Thank you ever so much Kraig! With you in my Armchair travel..take care always, love and greetings from the Philippines.
I find it so admirable that you complete these great treks solo. It's really a testament to how comfortable you are with yourself and the level of security you have.
When I’m feeling helpless or depressed, i just come here to listen to the nature. Thank you kraig for making this tranquil video. Life is pretty much hard already
Najihah Razak try to do dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and dont isolate yourself too much because shaytan can affect your positive thoughts. Try to visit the mosque as much as you can.
These videos are staggering. It's truly remarkable how you can capture such idyllic serenity and document your adventure in such a therapeutic manner. I feel so refreshed and at peace after each one. Thanks for these Kraig, keep them coming!
Finally, a travel/hiking video where the main subject is the trek and nature themselves and not the hiker talking more than half of the time with intrusive edm background music!! Such a relief to find your channel keep up the good work
I just did the Mont Blanc Tour, I didn't do it full, but a good part. I went alone. Your video made me very emotional. The pictures are wonderful. Congratulations for your work.
This is the best of the internet. Even a decade or so ago, it would have taken a film crew. Now...one true hearted soul, a camera and the ability to upload to you tube draws us into journeys most of us couldn't normally imagine. The wilderness still exists for those of us that look outward.
I love the silent parts, just the picture, the rest is left to my imagination. Enjoyed It as a Swiss, local Guy; a) bring cash, we don't accept CC every where (it's complicated I know :-)). b) If it is forbidden to camp, use a tarp it is not considered a tent/camp, or at least you can discuss it. c) if you want to camp, don't do it next to a "refuge, Hütte, Alp, rifugio etc." keep your distance d) enjoy your hike, your stay and take your time to visit those countries. e) find your spot, don't go where everybody already has been. f) AND MOST IMPORTANT look out for the small things right next to you, They are as beautiful as any other place on earth. thanks
@@walid3207 very late answer and I can't give you a clear answer since it depends on what part of switzerland you are in (even down to what town you are in sometimes) but wild camping is legal if you're above the tree line, otherwise you'd need to check the local rules.
Hey Kraig, I found your channel a couple years back. I just want to say watching you grow as a person, especially as of late is pretty amazing dude. Seems like you're really finding yourself and perfecting your craft. Keep going, we love this content.
Wow finally a RUclipsr that focused on the scenery and trails instead of selfies. People watch videos like this to see the country side and vistas, not someone yapping all the time and taking selfies. Thanks Kraig
Thinking of doing it next year. I am worried about the number of people especially if I stay in some of the huts. I’m not the most sociable person .so it may tarnish my trip .🙈
Ho appena finito il TMB in 8 giorni insieme ad un amico, partendo da Courmayeur e passando per la Svizzera e poi la Francia. Rivedere tramite il tuo video i posti in cui sono stato mi fa emozionare, anche grazie alle riprese con il Drone, che io non avevo. Ti seguo da tanto. Sei un grande
i think it's the first time ever i've watched a traveller video without skipping any second of it.. like the beauty of it all just amaze me.. not just the view, but you man, especially your ability and intention to make this beautiful art work is just amazing and beautifully done.. best traveller vid so far..
Your video makes me realise, eyes are such an important organ to human body. Thanks lord for blessing me with a good vision. I could imbibe each and every frame of this video in my heart.
This is one of the most beautiful and peaceful films I've seen. The shots are amazing, the music is perfect. You've captured the spirit so well. Amazing.
love how many still shots you have. really feel like thats what makes your videos feel so peaceful, plus the lack of talking or intense music. You let the environment speak for itself
I just completed my tour on 13 August in 13 days, so thats 14 km on average everyday with 900m elevation everyday on average.... and You did it 5 and half Days Kudos!! thats about 30-40km in a day dude plus you need to time to take all these shots with camera !!! Kudos. My husband is photographer and we literally planned the tour slow because of camera and drone we cannot literally walk fast like other hikers and we surely take 2-3 hours more than normal hikers, because you spend more time to take pictures, time lapse and Videos by drone , so in awesome place we take alteast 30 mins and consider doing that every awesome spot you find during the trek. I see that you have taken generally Drone and still videos. Loved your video and relived it. We stayed in Refugees didnot camp or tent , I was blissful to meet other fellow trekkers. Due to Covid Advance booking is mandatory and some refugees donot provide Blankets so you need to carry your sleeping Bag. We managed without sleeping bag, there was mattress and we put our warm clothes and ofCourse sleeping liner....cant believe its been two weeks and I am missing each and every bit of the trek. I am back at home and I feel so lost and post travel depression.
Between this, your Bali, and your Hornstrandir (your magnum opus to date) videos, you're fast becoming my favorite travel/hike vlogger. Continue with the beautiful orchestral, ambient, minimalist choices and jaw-dropping cinematography.
I usually never comment on youtube videos, but I’m feeling very inclined to comment on this one. The video is full of beautiful shots and music - creates a very peaceful feeling and shows everyone just how beautiful nature is.
You must be really comfortable with being alone. I feel like I'm always around people and it's exhausting. This video rejuvenated me. Thank you. Edit: Your film making is incredible.
I have walked about 17.000 kilometers on trails around the world and, with maybe that movie where Matt Damon and XXX get lost in a national park, your videos are the closest a film has been to my trail reality so thank you thank you bud, I almost cried out of so much beauty. Had I a different lifestyle I would definitely sponsor you, a hug mate :-)
This damn video got me into hiking. Finally saved enough to buy a good backpack, shoes, and some basic gear for overday hikes. My first hike ended up twice as long because i didn't know the trail didn't loop. Hurt my legs and hip a bit, so had to sit still for 2 weeks. Really hyped to get back out on the trails, a little smarter and a little stronger this time. This trail is my goal. Thank you for making this.
I've always been infatuated with hiking, but that love seems to dissipate once I get lost in the hubbub of everyday life. You're videos inspire to visit places I probably would've overlooked all my life. Visiting metropolitan locations can be great too, but there's nothing that quite supersedes these experiences. I'm excited to one day get my own chance to visit, and I'll make sure to cherish it.
I've never been able to think of anything to add to my bucket list beyond the usual "hey, I want to go to these countries." And here we are, there's something on it now - I HAVE to do something like this. Thank you for this. Now I can't stop watching your other videos.
Hey man, found your channel through this video the other week and I've had an absolute blast watching all your other videos. One of my absolute favourite youtube channels and it's very inspiring also. Both relaxing and up-lifting to watch and weirdly just what I needed as I've been in a bit of a slump lately and it's made me reconsider a lot of things, especially career wise! Keep doing what you want as it's so good and refreshing to watch. Hope all is well!
Love this format! I stopped watching travel vids because I got tired of listening to same same comments. The Q & A at the end was really good. Might want to let people know that in the title that so audience can anticipate or know that answers are coming.
Yess! Amazing video as always Kraig. I'm a huge fan of yours and have been watching your videos for many months. I finally got motivated to make my own hiking video inspired by you. Would mean a lot if everyone could check it out and Subscribe to me small channel :) Thanks! ruclips.net/video/fMCJ33bh17s/видео.html
Absolutely fascinated by the art that hides behind the editing of this beautiful, relaxing video! I mean it's an art to create that kind of slow video for 9 minutes and not make it boring. You definitely made it! Great job, thanks :)
I remember hiking TMB when I was 10 with my family... all those long years ago, and all the memories it brings back... it's like reliving the experience again. :) Thank you so much for this.
Well, on the one hand he has expensive (good!) gear, which is lighter. Plus, @Kraig Adams knows what is and isn't necessary (except for the water filter). Still, it's impressive - given that he is carrying a Drone + Remote + 2 batteries + Camera + tripod. In respect to the other people, here in the UK we say "Too much gear, no idea". (In british accent it rhymes - geeah - ideeah)
Sometimes people stay in huts and have buy their food as opposed to camping and cooking, though. As well as not having the money for the lighter/less bulky gear :P
Just watched this and found it mesmerising. Decided immediately to do the loop with a friend when I retire in just over 2 years time.Can't wait. Thanks for sharing. 😁😁
It is a lot when you're beginner but I, as a fat guy, went from 15 km a day being tiring in spring of 2020 to doing 35 km in a day and still being fine to do the same next day in half a year of training. Our body is made for walking. It adapts fast to that. The rest is in your head.
I know there are insane people who trail-run long distances, but to the common man 40 km, with a lot of elevation, is a lot... especially when you do it for 5 days in a row. Cheers
@Chris Pheros loVe Chris...it's a travel video. Heliosign tried to describe it as he/she saw it...why do you feel the need to analyse it....Let it go already. Jeez.....
@Chris Pheros loVe he meant the modern version which is esentually something you Jack off to the slang term nature porn is a word to describe beatiful enviroments which i hate
If there was a network that only played your “no talking” hiking videos 24 hours a day...I wouldn't get anything done. Thank you sharing your journey and talent with everyone.
Just finished the TMB last week! There are so many different ways to do this trek! Camping/ refuges, Longer/Shorter days. Different spots to stay and eat . It’s amazing ! Get out there guys !
thanks for making these videos, i truly enjoy them if i had a tv station they would be on it instead of negative chaos. world needs peace and people need to connect with nature
Hauntingly beautiful... absolutely mesmerising... jaw dropping; cinematic, documentary quality content... I can't believe I used to watch you do minimalist apartment tours in NY... this is worlds apart and you've evolved into an entirely different league... I am at a loss for words. Thank You for taking us with you.
Lovely. Happy you found something in my music. Thanks for the credit.
♥️🙏 Love the music 😊
Great music mate!!
Good work benjamin!
Beautiful 💯

Hang on mate! This world is full of miseries. You need to carve beauty and happiness out of it.
keep faith,stay stronger,you are not alone.
no matter what happen,never ever ever ever lose faith,trust me,man ,keep fighting and never give up.
A movie The Way (2010) might be something you enjoy watching. Father flies overseas to do the dream hike of his son, who passed away.

I absolutely agree! No fancy smart-ass crazy editing! Just beautiful story driven shots with lovely music! Love it!
I couldn't agree more. You should check out Adventure Archives on youtube.
I did this trek a few years ago. Fantastic. Thanks for helping me relive it in this great summary.
Exactly
This guy is awesome, another guy I enjoy watching is Erik Normark who similarly makes wilderness and hiking videos. His videos are almost completely without talking and just nature sounds for audio. He treks in Northern Sweden. You should check him out, it's a relatively small channel.
Whenever I am sick I watch this as a kind of ritual to help me feel better, it’s perfect
Keep making silent videos with q/a in the end it's the best.
@@kraigadams You talking about inspiration. Man, you are my role model.
amen to this
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this, Beautifully filmed and put together. Thank you for sharing.

Strongly agree. Great work
he lives the dreams. I'm not jealous, I envy a lot.
I am feeling the same!

Watching this video makes me realize how beautiful our planet is, and how we should preserve it, amazing content.
You shouldn't need to watch a video my friend
Well said. It's a gift from Almighty. We should be grateful and respect it
@@asjadj.542 please respect people enough to not proselytize at every opportunity.
You may believe it, other people may not.
I essentially just spent 20+ minutes of my life watching a guy walk, eat, drink, sleep, followed by talking towards the latter half of the video.
Best time spent this week so far 😁
Wonderful, so glad the RUclips algorithm showed me your beautiful video 🙏
Love that place no smoke, no cars, no loud noises, no buildings, just the calm air and the green mountains. ❤
To be clear, a significant percentage of the trail is on paved/dirt roads going through towns and villages. But, yes, the vast majority of the hike is high up in the mountains far removed from any signs of civilization.
the best method of worship....remain silent...only seeing and hearing the whispers of nature.
the best video!!! A lot of aplause.
I love how there are nature, nice & tasty food, architecture/buildings, calming music, ANIMALS.

Today, im in FRANCE with you...Thank you ever so much Kraig! With you in my Armchair travel..take care always, love and greetings from the Philippines.
Digging the silent solo backpacking films man, keep up the good work
your videos make me cry. its so beautiful. i live in the city so your videos are my getaway. i want to live like this. taking your own pace and time
I find it so admirable that you complete these great treks solo. It's really a testament to how comfortable you are with yourself and the level of security you have.
When I’m feeling helpless or depressed, i just come here to listen to the nature. Thank you kraig for making this tranquil video. Life is pretty much hard already
never give up sister.. Allah is always with us, greetings from a muslim hiker in Amsterdam

I’m from Russia and there are no such beautiful and harmonic videos on Russian RUclips. Thank you very-very much...
I just did the Mont Blanc Tour, I didn't do it full, but a good part. I went alone. Your video made me very emotional. The pictures are wonderful. Congratulations for your work.
same here, have not done that trail though
@@damienbbb I'm Brazilian, I advise you to do the trekking, it is extraordinary. I intend to go back to complete it.
Hi! Planning on doing this tour myself! Did you wild camp it all or stay in camp sites? Cheers :)

I love the silent parts, just the picture, the rest is left to my imagination. Enjoyed It
as a Swiss, local Guy;
a) bring cash, we don't accept CC every where (it's complicated I know :-)).
b) If it is forbidden to camp, use a tarp it is not considered a tent/camp, or at least you can discuss it.
c) if you want to camp, don't do it next to a "refuge, Hütte, Alp, rifugio etc." keep your distance
d) enjoy your hike, your stay and take your time to visit those countries.
e) find your spot, don't go where everybody already has been.
f) AND MOST IMPORTANT look out for the small things right next to you, They are as beautiful as any other place on earth.
thanks
Can I sleep in the nature in my tent If I visit Switserland? i mean in the high hills and mountains? and how is the weather there in the winter?
Do you also know places where I can take a shower and go to the bathroom

Man, I feel rejuvenated after watching your work. Just what I was looking for in a world full of noise. Subscribed.
That shot of the deer was so elegant and well filmed, basically sums up your videos... AMAZING
Hey Kraig, I found your channel a couple years back. I just want to say watching you grow as a person, especially as of late is pretty amazing dude. Seems like you're really finding yourself and perfecting your craft. Keep going, we love this content.
Really makes one have a sense of one self and unstand how beautiful the surrounding environment is
Every shot is like a desktop wallpaper. Truly stunning!
I can tell confirm that this was not the result of fancy editing, filters and digital enhancement. The footage actually looks like the real deal.
I find these hiking videos as calming and tranquil as any meditation video. Thank you.
Goodbye Cliche travel videos ..... Welcome to the new age of travel filming. You are beast-man. Keep it up brother

Incredible! Better than spending your time hanging around the local slop chute suffering from hangovers and staring at the old wood paneling
Such a beautiful part of the world. I remember hiking in those mountains as a kid :)
I don't know why but your videos are making me cry. I get this weird feeling. I can't explain it but thank you.

thank you! bravo! needed some peace! your videos re center the calm in violent world right now! im left thankful!~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You must be really comfortable with being alone. I feel like I'm always around people and it's exhausting. This video rejuvenated me. Thank you.

Wait ~200 km in 5 days, that means ~40 km a day?!!! That´s just more then aggressive, that´s insane!
Good work and great shots.
peace
Didn't roman legionairies march 100 kilometers a day or week
Yeah check out UTMB. I think they complete the loop in 21 hrs😅
It is a lot when you're beginner but I, as a fat guy, went from 15 km a day being tiring in spring of 2020 to doing 35 km in a day and still being fine to do the same next day in half a year of training. Our body is made for walking. It adapts fast to that. The rest is in your head.
I know there are insane people who trail-run long distances, but to the common man 40 km, with a lot of elevation, is a lot... especially when you do it for 5 days in a row.
Cheers
Wow. Pure greatness. Thank you for this channel.
This falls in the genre of hardcore nature porn.

I hate the word” porn.” Ok. Just so you know.
@Chris Pheros loVe Chris...it's a travel video. Heliosign tried to describe it as he/she saw it...why do you feel the need to analyse it....Let it go already. Jeez.....
@Chris Pheros loVe he meant the modern version which is esentually something you Jack off to the slang term nature porn is a word to describe beatiful enviroments which i hate
If there was a network that only played your “no talking” hiking videos 24 hours a day...I wouldn't get anything done. Thank you sharing your journey and talent with everyone.
Hey Kraig!!! Your video made my week and weekend. The HONSTRANDIR was so damn awesome. Thanks dude!
Just finished the TMB last week! There are so many different ways to do this trek! Camping/ refuges, Longer/Shorter days. Different spots to stay and eat . It’s amazing ! Get out there guys !
Just in time for my solo hiking adventure in Switzerland 👏
The Life Created am considering TMB for solo hiking but could there be a safety issue there?
Love this lonely but warm feeling so much that tear comes out
I love your videos they help with my anxiety. What a beautiful place! Maybe one day I can see it for myself :)
Great production. Great (and appropriate) music...and not overwhelming.
11:27 the most relaxing sound ever. 😏
thanks for making these videos, i truly enjoy them if i had a tv station they would be on it instead of negative chaos. world needs peace and people need to connect with nature
YO DUDE KEEP MAKING THESE VIDEOS, I WILL WATCH ALL YOUR VIDEOS DUDE
Hauntingly beautiful... absolutely mesmerising... jaw dropping; cinematic, documentary quality content...
I can't believe I used to watch you do minimalist apartment tours in NY... this is worlds apart and you've evolved into an entirely different league...
I am at a loss for words.
Thank You for taking us with you.
I love how he pets animals along the way
very nice. I love the music which sings along with the isolation. Thank you so much
Amazing hiking, stunning scenery, beautifully edited video.
It's so in peace watching this... I feel like I'm there as the background music goes by.
Excellent! And the unexpected Q&A at the end was awesome.
And is there anything better than an ice cold coke after a long run/hike??
Yes, an ice cold beer!
I dont normally drink cokes, but after a long day on the trail or a multiday backpacking, I crave one.
This is the most relaxing stuff. I am a programmer working from home, in one screen I work and on the other I have these... so peaceful
4:17 damn kraig those legs 🔥
