The sheer amount of effort that goes into not only getting there, but setting up, framing shots, retracing steps, breaking down, wash, rinse, repeat over and over and over again is massively underappreciated. The extra time needed to do this for our viewing pleasure deserves a medal. Thanks so much.
The amount of work required for this film is simply incredible. You absolutely nailed the feeling. The vibe. The color. The sense of being all alone in a land of beauty. Thank you for continuing to inspire.
I wonder if the groups that fly and restore the B-29 bombers will want to recover the engines and other very valuable parts eventually, looks lie there is little erosion on the plane !1
Wow, great video. One of the deceased is my Great Uncle Maj. Robert A Butler. He was a WW2 B-17 pilot and was shot down over Germany and was a POW at Stalag Luft 3 until liberated. He decided to stay in the Air Force and continue flying. Tragic end to his career but from what I understand, he died doing what he loved. I have yet to get to this crash site but have dreams of doing it. RIP to all of the crew killed in this crash. All heroes
We really missed you, Drew. I know “life happens” and RUclips is your side gig, but just know you are highly appreciated for what you bring to us. Thank you!
We have one in England. 'Over Exposed' crashed in the Peak District in 1948, in fog with no survivors. It is all still there albeit in very smashed condition. It's best visited on a cloudy or foggy winter day for the full experience. Excellent film, thanks.
I stopped watching Kraig Adams once he switched to filming on his iphone and the videos lost its beauty. I'm glad there's people still out there lugging their heavy gear to make good quality shots like this!
The same thing happened to me. I used to watch Kraig Adams but by way of his minimalism, things really got worse. Hot take: Sometimes sensor size matters.
Breathtaking footage! This is national geographic worthy. The quality of your video is like a cinematic masterpiece. Probably one if the most beautiful hiking videos i have seen. Cheers from Alaska.
Drew, the number of times I said to myself "He's gotta turn around to get the camera at some point" ...and then you cut to a shot of you further away! Incredible work man. Very inspiring
Those are 100% drone shots. I used to think the same thing and then started looking into it and you can have the drone stay stationary. One of the shots he roped down the mountain then kept walking lol No way he’d do that if he had to go back. Haha
This is incredible. The scenery and the drone shots are just jaw dropping. It must take so much effort to take all these shots from so many different angles and perspectives.
This is great, what a beautifully captured video. I can't believe that some of the crew members actually survived that crash. There was another crash east of Anchorage into an icefield, none survived. The wreckage is embedded across over 10 miles of glacier now.
This is one of your best videos Drew! I thoroughly enjoyed the soothingness and sounds of nature with beautiful visuals through your lens. Keep up the good work and inspiring all of us to get out in the nature.
I've only just found your channel, my first example of your hard work - I've watched. Utterly spell binding, re filming and directorship. Being an ex Park Ranger and an historic aircraft enthusiast, what an incredible marriage of stunning landscape and human tragedy. When you see the remote landscape this crash happened in, it brings into focus the human fragility of technology and mother nature. An epic hike.
I came for the B-29; I stayed for the scenery, the soundtrack, and the amazing cinematography. Now that I’ve watched this, I’m late to an unimportant meeting and so much richer and blessed for having watched this rather than hurrying off to the meaningless tyranny of superficial obligations. Thank you for filling my cup this morning.
Awesome job Drew.!! Been wondering where you been and now the wait is worth the wait.2 thumbs up .!! It keep company for my 8 shift graveyard. Hello from sacramento,california
This is some of the best cinematography on RUclips. Drew you are so talented and I simply love the artistic skills you have. Some of those shots climbing hand over fist and then to have to do it again to go retrieve that camera, you are definitely putting in the work and we certainly appreciate it.
That bomber crashed in 1957. The air is still in the tires? The air in those tires is 67 years old. That aside..... This truly is a cinematographers work of excellence. It's worthy of a documentary film on National geographic. I am glad I found your Channel
I've watched you since your early camping days. And now you are a bonafide nature cinematographer. I'm blown away by this video. thank you for this and keep up the good work.
I always wait to watch a new episode. It may be days or it may be weeks as I always watch them when the time is right and I need to unwind. Thank You Drew for a very relaxing half hour !
Glad to see another absolutely stunning video from you Drew. These bring me so much peace and joy every time. I'm really looking forward to your next one!
The cinematography and music score is brilliant....poinient ... wish for more info and scenes of the crash. I know your approach is more artistic but we appreciate both....Thanks again for the effort and time.
Absolutely outstanding & entertaining video Drew. As always we loved it & the film making was of an extremely high standard. Absolutely beautiful landscape.
I am at that age where I realize I will never be able to do anything like this. So I really appreciate you taking the time to make such a masterpiece so I can at least share the experience from my couch.
Drew makes one of the best outdoor videos with astonishing landscape footages. It's unfathomable to imagine the efforts that he puts into shooting and editing these videos..Big fan of your work and always waiting for your new videos. Truly devotional and inspiring 🙏🙏🙏.
No dialogue until over 12 minutes in, that was a great intro to let the viewer take in the scenery and your hike to get to the hut. Like others have said, nothing but respect knowing all those shots involved tedious setup and countless steps to/from the camera 👌🏼
Fabulous work. I spent several years in the late 60s early 70s hiking, camping, living in Anchorage. That was quite a journey you documented. Subscribed.
It's so incredible how this accident happened yet the nature surrounding it just found it's way winding through it. The streams twisting around the rubble and metal as though its part of the landscape. Incredible video as always
Absolutely inspiring, Drew! Watching you navigate the stunning solitude of Hatcher Pass speaks volumes about the power of presence and storytelling. It’s incredible how, as a creator, you’re able to keep us captivated for 30+ minutes without saying a word (almost 😀)-the way you craft a story through breathtaking shots and careful pacing is a true art. Every scene feels intentional, drawing us deeper into the journey and connecting us with the wild in a way that words simply couldn’t. Your talent for letting the landscape speak for itself is a rare gift. Thanks for sharing these powerful, silent stories with us-keep blazing trails and showing us that true adventure is felt, not told! Cheers all the way from Montreal and hope to cross paths one day, safe travels buddy!!!
Thank you RUclips for randomly putting this on my feed and thank you for the enormous effort of making this film. Such stark beauty is beyond words, all my geology classes came back to me looking at the glacial landscape. Such a sad and violent end to the B29. I guess controlled flight into terrain, they'd never have known. You've got a new subscriber today. Thanks again.
I absolutely love Hatcher pass, it is truly beautiful. I did the arch angel hike a few years ago and it was tough but would love to do it again hopefully next summer. Your videos are so amazing and captures the beauty of nature❤
What a great video. Astounding, people don’t understand that just getting to the mint hut(red hut) is 8+ miles one way. This is an incredible video and I have been on these trails almost daily because they are in my backyard. I totally respect the time it took to get the video, bravo! It was nice to meet you.
I m a huge kraig adams fan,,i m a hiker too,but this video has just another level..everything is so perfect...i m sure m gonna watch it many times...brilliant👍

You hit the nail on the head brother, It looks surreal and almost mystical……..

Stunning scenery. I was hoping to see more of the B-29 and hear about the story.
We really missed you, Drew. I know “life happens” and RUclips is your side gig, but just know you are highly appreciated for what you bring to us. Thank you!
Drew is one of the best cinematographers of this generation. Anyone who disagrees with that can argue with a wall.
I just did. The wall fuckin demolished my dumbass.
afraid to say he is the best? why only one of the best? Weak statement
No he is not. Never heard of before cant be great
Always a good day when this man uploads 😊
I appreciate you being here man

@@drewsimmswell it's not as good as your previous video my mom loves your videos with your car and your sweet kitchen
Kraigs adams lol
This film epitomizes the idea "every frame a painting". Incredible work.
Breathtaking footage! This is national geographic worthy. The quality of your video is like a cinematic masterpiece. Probably one if the most beautiful hiking videos i have seen. Cheers from Alaska.
Drew as a solo backpacker I have the deepest respect for the talent you have of capturing the true essence of the experience, thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed David! Definitely something special about being out there on your own
Wow, what an amazing trip and footage. My mother 86 years also enjoyed watching!
Love to hear you guys are watching together! Thanks for the support
Can you share the gps route?
Drew, the number of times I said to myself "He's gotta turn around to get the camera at some point" ...and then you cut to a shot of you further away! Incredible work man. Very inspiring
I kept thinking..dang he has to walk back to get the camera on those cliffs and rocks. UGH. I would be exhausted too.
I'm thinking and hoping... some of those shots have to be from the drone just sitting stationary so he doesn't have to go back to get it.
Those are 100% drone shots. I used to think the same thing and then started looking into it and you can have the drone stay stationary. One of the shots he roped down the mountain then kept walking lol No way he’d do that if he had to go back. Haha
This is incredible. The scenery and the drone shots are just jaw dropping. It must take so much effort to take all these shots from so many different angles and perspectives.
Drew is in another dimension. That is a fact.
Hard work, hard gear. Just keep goin’ Man.
Respect from Hungary.

Yeah you are back, you were missed, greatness you are with your cinema graphics work

those tires are flat but hold their shape as there is not weight on them
That journey was amazing! Loved the pick up ride shot!
WOW! Stunning videography. Nobody does it better.🥰
Great stuff drew. Looks like you put in some serious miles and elevation on this one. Always love the content.
20:35 that’s some cold stuff🙏🔝
Beautiful job, BRAVISSSSIMO
I couldn't stop watching this. This is incredible Drew, awesome job. I know it takes a lot of work filming everything yourself.
I've watched you since your early camping days. And now you are a bonafide nature cinematographer. I'm blown away by this video. thank you for this and keep up the good work.
Love this video and all of Drew’s videos. If this thing were six hours long, I’d watch the entire thing. Amazing work!
Your videos bring me such peace ( and beautiful screenshots for my wallpaper 😊) Thank you 🙏
Thank you. Beautifully shot. A lot of effort went into that. The visuals, the sound, the music.
Absolutely phenomenal video. The mountains are the best medicine for depression.
I really enjoyed that, one of the most beautiful films I think I’ve ever seen on RUclips, the time and effort you put into your work is incredible. 👍🏻
Mate, you’re second to none….. thank you for your incredibly beautiful work.

This video should have WAY more views. Amazing planet earth style shots. Looking forward to the next one! Drew never disappoints 🙌
Reminiscent of Proenneke. Imagine what he could have done with modern equipment. This is stunning work.
The photography is amazing. Superb cinematography.
Thank you Drew 👍🏻 Spectacular yet somber. Stay safe and take care my friend 🙏🏻God Bless 🫶🏻Appreciate you always!
Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words

It's so incredible how this accident happened yet the nature surrounding it just found it's way winding through it. The streams twisting around the rubble and metal as though its part of the landscape. Incredible video as always
I always watch your videos, and I think to myself "maybe it's not that bad"
Thanks Drew!
