A relaxing and gorgeous fall hike at Pictured Rocks, right on Lake Superior. One of the best hikes I have ever had. In this video you see the hike, then I talk about how to do the hike, and a little bit about gear I used at Pictured Rocks.

Really like this video style. Just letting the scenery stand without having to talk over or explain everything. Really nice. Please do more if you can.
Ooooo I will be! Stay tuned! Thanks
Gorgeous! Less about the gear more about the hike itself and the nature, brilliant!
Tis a good way!
Such a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing
You're welcome!
@@MattShafter we really enjoy making outdoor videos also
Your video style/mood is SPOT ON! Went on this very same loop hike last month, started the hike early like you mentioned, went clockwise basically saw no one till chapel beach. you captured the feel. Found the trail on AllTrails also. Just discovered your channel! I’m older so your ultra lite vids are really helpful. Thank you
Woooo hooooo welcome!!!
I like this style a lot. Seeing some camp elements to watch how people organize and setup is always fun. I can see the Kraig Adam’s influences, which is definitely a good thing. Well done, and a beautiful location.
Thanks Paul!
Loved the video. Beautiful scenery and the music fit the mood of the trail. I like this style of video and yes, Craig Adams does some nice videos.
Adams is pretty good!!! Thanks Mark.
Great video - keep them coming 🇩🇰💁
Nice, beautiful. Great video.
Keep coming more towards the East. Much more of what nature has to offer imo.
I want to get out to Maine again!!! I have unfinished business with Katahdin (sp?)
Hey Matt. Great pacing on the video. I think you hit a good balance between too many short clips with lots of cuts and long drawn out shots that just go on way too long. The music complemented the pace as well. I like the combo of the music/nature vibe of the trip then a talking head wrap up afterwards. I think that's a good way to get information across but also have the relaxing trip footage.
Right! That Kraig Adams hit on something nice!
Great video. I've hiked a similar loop a couple of times, going by Mosquito Beach. Definitely saw a group of bros dragging a cooler through the mud to Mosquito Beach. We almost told them it wasn't a sandy beach like they were probably expecting, but we didn't want to ruin the surprise.
Oh wow!
Excellent video. I’d say you accomplished what you were going for. That’s a bucket list trail for me as I’m from Michigan.
Yooper gold!!
I'm a fan of minimalist trip videos like the ones you've been making. Keep at it. If you're happy with the RX100's video quality and functionality but don't want to add a ton of weight to your film kit I'd recommend the Sony ZV1. It's basically an RX100 but has been made specifically for video. Image stabilization is on point for walking shots and it has a mic input that you can attach any of the popular rode mics. I use the Rode Video Micro with my ZV1 and I'm pretty happy with the audio quality.
People love that camera!!! I'm leaning Sony A7C and an external mic...?
Dude your videos are so good.
@@patrickbeardslee4144 Thanks!
I like the idea of including more of what happens with the camp part

Love this style of video
I'll keep it up!
This video experience was therapeutic. Thank you, Matt. Many people are at a place in life where they can't experience this personally. Feeling the sand with your fingers made me want to be there and do it myself. These things set one video apart from the rest. 👍
Sweet! Thanks DK.
wow!....what a beautiful place...this is defintely on my bucket list!..great video!
Add it!!!
creepin' on that squirrel i see... lol. Cool video.
CREEP!!
Love the palante fleece, basically live in it. Great video too man, I really dig more minimal videos.
A bit heavy, but it's damn versatile.
Great stuff! Just discovered your channel and looking forward to more from you.
This more minimalist style is a nice change. I probably go a little heavy on the voiceovers and music in my videos because I’m afraid to lose my viewers. Can I ask what kind of retention rates you’re getting?
On this video, by 30 seconds in i'm down to 60% retention and by the end of the trail video i'm down to 44%. This will certainly improve if the trail has more stunning visuals. So, not horrible, but not good either. My recent gear videos get solid 70% the whole way. I subbed you! Nice stuff. People will undoubtedly like your voice on the voiceover, so you might play to your strength there?
Great vid! Best so far.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet
Awesome hike obviously and your shots capture that for me. I also like the format where you provide summary/info at the end.
Probably an outside opinion, but I've gotten tired of this kind of music that doesn't go anywhere. It lacks any kind of recognizable theme and just vamps on one or two chords. After all, landscape mood music was reserved for late night infomercials only 20 years ago and feel like it's taken over. It's not all bad or even always but it's often very safe music that's meant to not be noticed.
That being said, I'm also just a big fan of the sound of the wind in the trees and it's one of my favorite things to wake up to when I backpack. Not nearly as much experience waking up to waves but both sounds were appreciated in this vid. If you're already leaning in that direction editing-wise you have my encouragement for sure.
When I get a better camera and stand alone mic, I'll for sure tone down the music and up the ambiance!
Wow!
I know right....
Great video!!! I really enjoy this style. You should check out Erik Normark's videos as well
I am subscribed to him! He's good!
I can't say enough about the beauty of the subject and the great work you did with editing (and keeping all those extra hikers out of your shots). From a technical standpoint, I visually pick up on some "blockiness" in how the digital video is captured. I know just enough to be dangerous, but I would suggest adding neutral density filters to your camera equipment. Digital cameras and bright subjects tend to overwork the framerate and remove the "blur" that our eyes are used to. Putting some "sunglasses" on your camera to slow the framerate and tweaking the manual settings (forcing to ISO 100, manually forcing the frame rate) might smooth that digital perfection. I'm hoping someone with more technical digital filming experience will chime in. I just know that adding ND filters to my 4k drone (and tweaking settings) made my digital bright-day captures look more like film.
I have a tiny RX100IV so i'm not sure I can get the filters, can I? Soon I'll get a full frame something. Leaning towards a Sony A7C! I'll check your drone stuff out!
Yeah boyyyyyyy
Where in the F have you been? lol
@@MattShafter studying. Btw I wish you broke up this video into 2 parts by far your best work. Keep those style of hiking videos coming
@@MattShafter I found this interesting thought I would share it with you. There is also an article about down jackets on this site. www.ultralightdandy.com/hiking-power-banks/
Hi Matt,
Nice video, what a beautiful place, my god....
By the way, do you prefer rainpants over windpants ? What are your conclusions about this piece of gear included in your 2020 gear list ?
Will you continue to use rainpant or go back to windpants ?
Good hike
Sticking with rain pants!!!
👍
Cool chipmunk
What's its name ya think?
Loved the video.
The music may have a bit too loud in some sections which can distract the ambience that you’re going for.
In terms of promoting your social platforms, it helps if you add it in to your video description along with the gear you commonly use with Amazon affiliation links if you want to earn a bit of coin.
I enjoy your UL product reviews and have bought some of the gear you use.
Would also be happy to support the channel in anyway you provide. :)
Thanks Jay! Yes the music can be loud. I forgot to say, alot of the music is because people are talking near me. I should put some affiliate links in here!
Kraig Adams inspired vids are a lot easier to emulate than Elina Osborne ones. Both put in a lot of work just like yourself. Appreciate your content!
Elina's got so much profound voice over! Don't know if I have that much to say. lol
Don't make us wait for your fleece breakdown. I've been fleeced by fleece, what to look for when buying fleece?
I don't even know how I'm going to talk about 15 fleeces. Lol
Labor Day is coming up and every campsite is booked at Pictured Rocks. Is there a good way to get out anyways? Any dispersed camping?
If you want to stealth camp here where do you recommend setting up your tent? Also how many fleeces are you up to now with the Palante fleece, like 50? Your trail name should be fleece guy
A like to setup my stealth tent by a stealth cat hole for a stealth turd.
fascinating video, thanks for sharing, really appreciate that ;) , lets stay connected ;)! #supportthecreative newsub from me !!!!!!!
