Join me in my adventures backpacking and nature appreciation. I typically slow down the journey and enjoy my surroundings, getting as much Timelapse photography in as possible (weather permitting).
Backpacking in the backcountry is more than a hobby to me. It is a way of living. "Leave No Trace" is a philosophy that can (and should) be extended to all aspects of our life and society. Appreciation of nature, and observing things as they are, is something that can improve our experience on this planet we call home.
Hope you enjoy the channel!

THE NORTHOVER RIDGE: Epic 3-Day SOLO Adventure in Harsh Weather | Kananaskis, Alberta
This trip almost didn’t happen due to uncooperative weather, but I spotted a brief window of clear skies between the rain and snow that allowed me to tackle the Northover Ridge-an epic journey I’ve always dreamed of doing. Despite the mix of rain, wind, and snow, the trail exceeded my expectations. The buzz surrounding Northover Ridge is well-deserved, with its stunning sub-alpine and alpine views stretching as far as the eye can see!
Sadly, I had to leave my dog Ginny at home since the trail isn't suitable for dogs, making this a truly solo adventure. The challenging autumn weather kept most hikers away, so I essentially had the entire trail to myself.

4-day SOLO Thru-Hike on the SAWBACK TRAIL. Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.
Переглядів 1,4 тис.2 місяці тому
I hiked the Sawback Trail with Ginny from Mount Norquay (Banff) to Lake Louise over 4 days. It's not as crowded as other area's of Banff, so it really allowed me to immerse myself in nature and the surrounding beauty. The first 2 days gave intermittent rain, and the last two days were sunshine were white puffy clouds! The rain and clouds at Mystic Pass made it that much more mystical. Going ove...
3-day SOLO Random Camping Trip in ELK LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK, British Columbia.

3-day trip camping in a random spot near the derelict (abandon) Petain Creek campground. Ginny and I did side trips to Petain basin and waterfall, and an attempt at getting up to Coral pass. The weather was HOT which made it challenging (especially for Ginny), but luckily there was water nearby at all times. The skies were clear making it perfect for night time-lapse photography.
Bowmont Ravine Mountain Bike Ride. Calgary, Alberta. Sept 2023.
Переглядів 645 місяців тому
I have always loved mountain biking in the Bowmont. From the harrowing cliffs of "Sideshow Bob" to the cool forrest paths, it's always a good ride. We are so lucky to have such great mountain bike trails right in the middle of the city!
SKOKI LOOP, 3-day Solo Backpacking Trip. Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.
Переглядів 1,4 тис.9 місяців тому
What's not to love about the Skoki region in Banff? So many awesome things to say about this trip: the lush forests, colourful lakes, rocky passes, and the dark night skies. The goal of this trip was nothing more than to enjoy this mystical region. By using Bakers Lake as a base camp, I was able to take my time doing the loop in one day with a light pack. It gave me a chance to slow down and ta...
TURBINE CANYON LOOP. 3-day SOLO Trip Over the Great Divide. Kananaskis, Canadian Rockies.
Переглядів 451Рік тому
Join me on this epic 3-day solo backpacking adventure doing the Turbine Canyon loop over the Great Divide (between Alberta and BC). I chose to go counter-clockwise via Turbine Canyon, Lake Beatty, and Three Isle Lake. The trip had its share of challenges: from sweltering smokey heat to drenching thunderstorms! Nevertheless an amazing experience. The diverse landscape and views seemed to change ...

Переглядів 193Рік тому
Ribbon Lake is one of my favourite spots in the Kananaskis backcountry. This 3 day trip had a bit of everything: lush old-growth forests, panoramic views, hot sun, and rain. I even had a GRIZZLY bear encounter. Hope you enjoy the video!

This is a video with a selection of my favourite Timelapse's of the stars from my trips in 2022. Going to the backcountry is certainly the best way to get the dark skies! I hope you enjoy. AR
🧡Ginny , are there any good fishing spots on your travels ?
Oh yes. Almost all the lakes have fish. Some more than others. I've never really been into fishing, but maybe I should give it a try!
love the fungi !! who films while you are walking from behind and ahead?
Yes, I love all the strange mushrooms. A lot of variety within the fungi kingdom! No other person, I film it all myself. Tricks of the trade ;)
@AlexRezansoff that's a lot of extra,work for yourself , great job !!
Nice to see the improvements at the campground.
Yea, the campgrounds were both very nice. Especially Aster Lake.
Been a few years since I was last up to the basin. It’s a magical place. Are the bear lockers still at Petain Creek?
Hi Kelly. Yes, the basin is amazing! Definitely will want to go back again. The only "locker" I found at the camp was the one attached to the outhouse. I didn't see any dedicated bear lockers, but I didn't really go searching around the old camp as the water was pretty high.
Great Video. One of THE best 3 day trips close to YYC with epic views. Since you've got that beautiful UL tent, have you thought about upgrading your pack?
Thanks Tyler! Yup, a new pack may be in the budget for this year. Any suggestions?
@@AlexRezansoffneed a Kakwa to match the tent :)
I've heard great things about the Kakwa. Do you have one? If so, does it live up to the hype?
@@AlexRezansoffI do not. I have a couple HMG (Hyperlite mountain Gear) packs. A Unbound 55, Southwest 2400 (40L) and a Waypoint 35. All packs are made of DCF same material as your tent.
Ginny,you’re so beautiful and an awesome hiker! ❤
Awesome page!👍👍👍
Thanks so much!
stunning hike in a breathtaking location. fantastic movie !
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
I like your content, you have a new subscriber!
Thanks!
Beautiful scenery and video creation! Very pleasant to watch and your dog adds a nice touch to the video. Keep exploring and creating! 💕
Thank you! Will do.
Beautiful country! Thanks for sharing my friend😎
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
I have now watched 2 of your hikes with Ginny that I have also done this summer - Sawback, and North/South Kananaskis loop. Love to see you and her out hiking, she's so good! Thank you for the videos, the North/South loop one was excellent for helping me plan
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. Maybe we’ll see you on the trail one day.
Awesome hike! Well recorded!
Thanks! 👍
ginny she so cute and your video so amazing
Thanks! Yes, Ginny is very popular with everyone she meets!
Amazing for your video of 3-day SOLO Random Camping Trip in ELK LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK, British Columbia. Alex Rezansoff. It is very nice and beautiful. I love your video and thanks for sharing.🥰
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.
Awesome filming and editing, beautiful dog and nature too you should make more of these. Super cozy
Thanks! Yes, more video's coming soon! Check out some of my earlier video's if interested.
Wow Alex, very contagious of you to do that trip! Great job filming and awesome pictures. Thx for sharing this. I felt like I was right there with you both. 🙂💪👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for posting this! I’m just starting to get in to backpacking and I live in southern Alberta. This is super helpful to show me what I could expect. It looks incredibly beautiful. I definitely want to do this next year.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. But no need to wait until next year. Still lots of good hiking left in September.
@@AlexRezansoff For sure, I think this is just one hike I need to maybe build up to. I need a bit more experience just getting to know my gear and getting more confident with overnight, back country camping before I tackle this. I’ll probably do one or two more weekend over nights this year and aim to do a 2-3 night trip like this in the spring when I’m a little more confident and comfortable with the gear and with my own abilities.
I went out via Palliser Pass and Mt Shark in 2023. They did a good job refurbishing the campground at Turbine
Awesome video, like the "Ambient" approach and the time-lapse were amazing
Thanks!
I'm about to attempt this in 2 days, 1 night (at beatty), thanks for the awesome video! I appreciate the look into what to expect! And Ginny is such a good girl =)
Thanks! How did your trip go?
Beautiful video! Thanks for sharing this! I have a Trek Roscoe 6 2024 and just got into mountain biking in April.
Have fun!
Fantastic trip, thank you for sharing! This is going on the list for sure. Tell your dog I say hi
Thank you! Will do!
Will be doing this in early June :) But in reverse. Merlin Meadows, Deer Lakes, then Baker Lake.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to go check it out :-)
Thank you for a superb trip and video. the timelapse was perfect! Cheers from Arkansas!
Amazing trip! Thanks for sharing.
Hey fellow Calgarian. Just followed you to help you get going. We pack with our dogs too. Hope to see you on the trail.
This was presented so professionally my friend! Great solo adventure, atmosphere is just gorgeous!
Glad you enjoyed it!
