I missed Kraig’s podcast. He has a very soothing voice and very interesting content.

[@CaryMercer]

Thanks for your work in putting this together. I always enjoy hearing Kraig talk about filmmaking, hiking, youtube, high vs low value content, experiences on trail etc. 👍

[@liveultralightpodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

He is 100% right about offering high value vs low but he's got it backwards. The high value content comes from the peace and serentiy that his videos provides not the trail guides. I've produced over 160 trail videos and have not drawn a dedicated audience from it. A local in Mexico looking to do a trail will watch that one video but likely not care about the next hike in Alaska and the next one in Iceland. The real value he is offering is the peace the videos bring.

Welcome aboard!

I feel like I have little control of my life right now . Enjoying the philosophical questions.

[@tristondaniels599]

I can relate to Craig’s mentality a lot but when you are able to pair up with someone who is at or better than your level, it can be quite enjoyable.

[@markheming3507]

I am a super big fan of Outdoor Vitals, but I would say that, even though short videos, don’t seem meaningful to you sometimes people like myself struggle to find time in their lift to get outside or watch any videos & I look forward to seeing the contact use produce as a way to escape every day stuff

[@liveultralightpodcast]

Fair enough!

[@operationandy]

I’ve wanted to do a few of his hikes . Chile Alaska for a few examples

[@drts6955]

I don't know if it's the channel or UA-cam but 2 ads in less than 5 minutes Jesus. Great chat though!

[@infamouspony28]

Some of the questions are too drawn out. Pretty much answering questions for him.

[@jakovj.m.5322]

Are you kidding me, is that a real beard...

[@natejewkes]

It is real. I've seen it in real life. It's amazing.
