Watching all the way from Australia, you are quite good at climbing!
Thank you!
Greetings my friend 🙌
Spring flower season starts here soon. I travel south to Great Smoky Mts to photograph them. Always enjoy your vids. Thanks stay safe and warm
That’s lovely to hear!
I wish you good luck on your trip 😊
Greetings from Slovenia 🙌
Maybe the door is opening on the inside because imagine when you sleep and avalanche blocks the door or heavy snowfall and you can't get out. That way you can open the door and start to dig yourself from inside :D
Yeah, it’s pretty logical the door opens on the inside, but still my first thought was “oh no, I have to dig all of that snow” 🤦♂️🤣
And when it opened on the inside I was like “no shit sherlock” 😂
A woman ski touring in france got stuck for 3 or 4 nights because of that before rescuers found her (happened this year, quite close from a ski resort). She didn't die only because the door wasn't totally closed so she managed to get some (dirty) snow to melt and drink.
Well how about that.
Makes sense
Well how about the building has more then one potential option and In a real emergency you will figure something out so why make yourself more cold and leave anything open
I like your videos very much! You can really feel your love and passion for climbing and nature!😊 Greetings from Krkonoše Czech Republic 🇨🇿
Thank you my friend! 🙏🙌
Greetings right back from Slovenia 😊
Thank you for blessing us with another great adventure 👌🔥
Thank you for watching! 🙌😊
Andraz, your travels and stories tell of a much more pleasant reality than what fills UA-cam. Thank you!
It's so soothing watch your hiking/climbing videos in that beautiful landscape.
Another great video mate, thanks for letting us accompany you thru all this adventures.
Thanks for following along on my journeys 🙏😊
Your mountains are so beautiful. Yugoslavia was not "open" when I studied in Austria back in '77, so I could not visit your beautiful country. Thank you for sharing your adventures. When I was your age, I was having my own adventures hiking in the lower Alps, hiking in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, and a little hiking through the Amazon rainforest. Now, I do my "hiking" vicariously through explorers like you and Ryan Mitchell and the Part-Time Explorer.
That is a wild game feeder and the hunting blind was the cabin on stilts.
As a newly retired high school teacher in Australia who has particularly enjoyed teaching history, I've been fascinated by your explorations of ruins of military bunkers. What an incredibly hard life it would have been for the soldiers stationed so high in the mountains.
From USA and live in Indiana. I wish I had places like that around here. But that's why I love your vids bro. You are very good at what you do and also very enjoyable to watch. RAD videos !! Keep it up bro!!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate the kind words 🙏
Yeah, our mountains are stunning… but one day I would also love to visit the US and spend a few months there to just explore the states and experience your culture. 🙌
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. There are so many beautiful vistas! I’m from Canada and I love visiting the Rocky Mountains. I’m a big history buff, so I appreciate the bits of history you share. It sends me off to the internet to learn more about Slovenia.
Greetings from Maryland USA. Thank you for taking us along. Stay safe.
Greetings from the most visited city Istanbul, Turkey. Stay safe 👍🏼🇹🇷
Another nice adventure. Your film making skills are getting better with each video.
Tso things that stayed with me - 1) how you casually removed the nail from your toe lol and 2) how lucky you were at 20:00 to avoid a major accident. If not injuring your legs, could have been your hands with no gloves and holding the ice axe like that. Lucky escape! Also a lesson for us viewers to always stay cautious in the mountains if we are to try such adventures.
Thank you my friend 🙏
Hahah yeah that nail incident was quite unexpected, but the nail was almost completely detached, so it didn’t hurt much.
Yup, I could have broken or injured my knee there if I wasn’t careful…
But my hands would have been fine, because the snow there was soft, and it wasn’t steep, so I wouldn’t slide off :)
Greetings from Slovenia! 😊
You are a pro and very brave.You climb those unforgiven mountains so professionally and you are a great inspiration. I wish you the best of luck and a joyful journey.❤❤❤
15:43 - wow what a lovely sun halo!
I always like to virtual join you in these trips.
I’m happy to hear that! Thanks for watching 😊
Watching from the UK ,i really love your video's i can't wait for new ones, stay safe x
Good video, wonderful views& no crowds….thank you& good health to you!
your command of the English language is excellent
stay safe. from Granny in Canada
Yup. It’s a timer feeder. You put corn,maize or other feed in it and it gets wildlife used to eating there. Whether or not you hunt them is up to you. But that’s not exactly what I would call hunting
Literally breathtaking scenes my friend, nicely filmed and edited!
Thank you brother! 🙏😊
Daj kamero na štrik in kasneje potegniti za sabo :P :D Čeprav gor dol je vedno dober trening :)
Hahah goljufal pa namo 🤣 se je treba potrudit za kadre 😀
Drugace pa dobra ideja 🙌
Be safe out there 🙏 handsome youngster 😊❤😊
See.... That is why you have been put on my heart. You keep being a careful adventurous person and I will pray you will be healed. ❤❤❤
1:58 Those white flowers are called fair-maids :) We have them in Hungary, too. It's called hóvirág = snow flower as it blossoms so early
Thank you for sharing the info! 😊
@@andrazegart
I meant this one:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galanthus
Galanthus, or "snowdrop". Specifically galanthus nivalis. I guess "hóvirág" bears a similarity to "snowdrop".
Come to Colorado to climb some 14er’s. I drive up and hike. You would love Colorado but your country is stunning as well!!!
That was gorgeous. Nothing unusual in that of course, but I particularly enjoyed the sense of peace, and of calmness being alone in the mountains- and the start of spring also. I thought we weren't getting the cold bath as you returned to your car!! How wrong I was. You provide us with such a wonderful escape from the world in yous videos Andraž. Thank you.
Thank you!
Yeah, I was completely alone on this journey… and that’s always a special experience. 🙌
Especially if there aren’t any tracks in the snow, so you know there hasn’t been anyone up there in a while.
you're the best, this video fulfilled not just my day but the whole week🤩🤩 loved all the facts you told along the way😎
Thank you!
It truly means a lot to hear that 🙏🙏
I wish you a wonderful week! 😀
You had a magnificent circumscribed solar halo up there. Pretty rare to see a complete one. As always, a great tour. Thanks for taking us with you. That’s what it feels like.
That view is absolutely stunning 5:20
Awesome videos! You even caught a sun halo 😊
Thank you!
Yup, I also noticed that as I was watching back the footage at home 😀
I am hooked on your content… I enjoy your narration… how you always provide a little background.. and I think you need me to go and take care of you definitely.. I’m ready!
Your videos are getting better and better!
Watching from the Pacific Northwest, Oregon USA. 🇺🇸
Thanks, another great video. Early spring is a great time, there is such a sense of hope in the air. Those slopes you traversed look steep. In the limited times I used crampons (mostly a warm climate rock climber) crossing snow slopes I found that my calves and ankles got very sore but I guess that if like you did a person grows up in such conditions then you are used to it.
Thank you!
Yeah, spring is definitely the most positive time of the year. It feels like everything is restarting and growing 😊
Ur right, it definitely helps to grow up in the mountains. We don’t have any flat areas in my village, so I’ve been running up and down the hills all my life, and it was definitely an advantage when I got started with mountaineering.
great video, I really like the cabin 😊
Thank you!
It’s one of the nicest cabins I’ve stayed at 😀
underrated channel, love your content
Thank you very much my friend 🙏❤️
Enjoy your low-key style adventures showcasing breathtaking views. Reminds me a lot of Foresty Forest
Thank you my friend! 🙏
Prelepi videi, pozdrav iz Srbije!!!
Hvala!
Pošiljam pozdrave nazaj iz Slovenije 😀
Great trip… looking forward to the next one ❤
Super kanal. Pozdrav iz Srbije.
Firngleiter or Figl ( i think there is no english word for it) would be great on this tour. Even touring skis would be fun.
Do you never mix snow in with your water? I have done it many times over the last 40 years with no ill effects. I just dig down a little for clean snow and and add it when my widemouth nalgene is half empty so the remaining water can melt the snow. I also add some type of electrolyte powder and create a “Slurpee”. They really refresh a person on those exposed, warm summits! I couldn’t have finished some summits without it.
Be safe!
Watching from USA, central California
Greetings from Canada love your videos
great views and no bullshit, hard to find channels like this. subbed
Thank you my friend! 🙏😊
Love your pace, positive vibes and your content. Keep on posting and inspiring. And stay safe! You, tartar on pizza and pršut. 😉
Thank you very much! 🙏
How do you know about my tartar sauce obsession with pizza 😂
I remember reading it in one post and because I also put tartar on pizza, the rest is history...That added the value to your content. @@andrazegart 😉
@@loretalaus5083 hahah that makes sense 😅.
Yeah, tartar sauce is a must! 🙌
my whole body just tried to crawl in to a shell which i dont have, as soon as you showed me your toe nail that you just pulled of xD respect !
Same here. Ew.
Yes my favorite UA-camr
Thank you! ❤️
Andraz , your spoken english is perfect !!!
When Andraz is not talking I keep thinking 'this is Harry Style's brother'. The athletic one.
Great day /1 night well curated & executed . lots of tips here for all! One suggestion (from UK) try adding some Kendal Mint cake to your feeding list...not sure I'll be incorporating an ice bath😅tho I probaby should do @ my ripe olde age hahah
Thank you very much!
Oof, it would be pretty difficult to get a hold of those chocolates since they aren’t selling here… but I’m gonna give it a try if I ever visit UK :)
I definitely recommend you to try ice baths! It makes you feel 10 years younger :)
my father started at 58 😀
@@andrazegart Be great to see you Winter climbing in the relatively remote "hills" of the Western Isles e.g. Harris / or Mid-Wales? (buy some Kendal Mint cake on your way ! ) "yeah"...
I’m here living in Vietnam. Originally from USA. Just found your channel.been enjoying your climbs. Thanks for sharing
Besides Alex H, you're my next fav climber / explorer
Thank you very much! That means a lot to me ❤️
Broo no way, this is the cabin I found shelter in last summer! We passed Vogel and were gonna go to the hostel under that hut, but we were too tired to descend that too. Luckily we made the call to go to this bivouac because heavy rain set in a couple minutes after we arrived there.
Btw we got water from a bucket placed in the bunker next to the shelter haha (ofc filtered + cooked)
hahah what a cool story!
Such unplanned events are the ones you’re gonna remember when you’re old. 🙌
But I hope you learned something from it, so you can be better prepared next time 😊
Safe travels my friend!
@@andrazegart:)
Loving your videos.
Thank you!!
Just discovered your channel...love your style ...and the background s...damn!
Ne vidi se ravno najbolje, a tista "mašina" na 2:30 bi lahko bilo "home made" krmišče za jelenjad, srnjad, muflone, gamse..... zadaj za hrbtom imaš "lepo" locirano lovsko prežo ....... mreža je verjetno zato, da z rogovjem ne poškodujejo fiderja.....
Lahko tud solnica, samo je skala zadaj bolj malo "zlizana"....
Najprej sem tudi js pomislil na to da bi lahko bila neke vrsta krmilnica, ampak tista mreža in pa napravca znotraj mreže sta mi dale mislit, da mogoče je pa le kaj drugega.
Hvala za info!
@@andrazegart napravca je verjetno da sama odpre ventil za krmo mreza pa da zasciti napravo imo.
100% avtomatska krmilnica divjadi za koruzo. Pogovorno se ji reče Herkules..
That drum attached to the rock is a feeder and the tall shack is a hunting stand
Watching from Canada.
that barrel was a feed ispenser for bring ing in animals. The hunting stand would have a view of the animals then,
Boosting for the algorithm 🙌 Love your work, keep it up! 🌻🐝
Grande... 💪 Un saluto da Padova IT
love from UK
Love from SLO 🙌
Watching from philippines 🇵🇭
Excellent video 😊😊
I'm not sure where you're from, but I love your accent, and you speak English quite well. You're also cute. I enjoy watching your videos.
What is your gear list? Mostly interested in that reflective blanket sleeping bag liner. Looks like an emergency blanket with a zipper. More info Please!
It’s a Mountain Equipment bivvy bag :)
I am currently working on a full gear review, and will be posting more info about that in the upcoming week 😊
amazing. ty. Keep up the nice hikes. maybe I see you in the alps one day.@@andrazegart
Hi Andraz I really enjoyed your videos! It seems like you are super knowledgeable about mountain conditions etc, in addition to the gear review would you be able to share how you acquired these knowledge and for beginners that want to get into mountaineering, do you have any tips? Thank you❤
Hey,
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
I just uploaded the gear reviews on my Patreon today (don’t worry, you don’t have to be a member. They are free).
And if you have any specific questions about how to get started with mountaineering you can send me a message on Patreon or instagram and I’ll be happy to help you.
Also thanks for your suggestion, I’m definitely gonna talk about that in one of my future videos as well 😊
Much appreciated!
Hi from Türkiye 🇹🇷
Shooo! Lucky you!
Shooo!
Beatiful to look to your video s like it very much😊
top video prjatu kaksne lepite v gorah res uzitek gledat. Se vec takih videjev drgac pa se bos mogu pocas preselit ker je vsak let manj snega 😢
Hvalaa! 😊
Ja, letošnja zima je bla res bolj boga, ampak ne dvomim da bojo tut se kaksne hude zime v prihodnosti :)
Love your videos. Thank you. How do you do the filming ?
1:56 These are snow roses. Another typical springflower.
I googled them, but they seem a little too big to be snow roses 🤔
Are there more different sorts of snow roses?
@@andrazegart Try to google for ‚white christrose‘ 😃
@@andrazegart snowdrops? Have them in the UK
To night its the first time im watching your videos,and i love them ver y much,im from México. Hablo en español,pero te entiendo perfectamente. XOXO
a bivouac without a firestove is interesting
Are you in France in this video? Your video's are awesome! 😊😊
Πρέπει να χρησιμοποιείς ένα drone για ακόμα πιο όμορφες λήψεις. Πολύ ωραία βίντεο φίλε!
Nice video, as ever :-). May I ask what are the shoes you're using? Brand and type? Thank you & stay safe!
Thank you 😊
I’m using Scarpa Mont Blanc Pro…
But I would not recommend them.
They’re cold, and my right heel always hurts in them… and I’ve also heard from other people having the same problem with these shoes, so it’s not just me.
@@andrazegart Thank you VERY MUCH for your honest words; I will look for some other shoes/boots. In case you have some tips, you may place them in the gear-related video you mentioned you're working on. Keep up the great work!
My friend when you do those torturous shots on the peaks walking back down for the camera, maybe you could attach a lightweight string or rope to your camera and then just drag it back up instead of you walking back down, either that or I think you should buy a small drone because you could do some incredible shots with that, I would love to know how the soldiers kept warm in those bunkers, amazing video my friend, respect from the UK
Watching you from Florida USA ❤️ your in my prayers 🙏🫂❣️ and your very cute boy 🥰
Hey man, I’m currently in France for the first time and am trying to figure out a way to stay so i can explore the alps. I really want to get into solo mountaineering you’re a big inspiration! Also would you consider doing a gear video??
I commented this before watching the full video, looking toward to that gear review 😂
Love your videos. What pants are you wearing in this video?
Greetings from Germany.
Mate, what happens when you pull off a nail? Can you still walk alright? Does it regrow? I hope you feel well!!
Why not leave a shovel at the shelter so that we could dig the door out of the snow?
Would love to get my wife up there for a night or two❤ But I'm really curious what that guard tower is all about!
Awesome
Must be close to the Seven Lake Valley
What backpack size do you use for these multiday trips?
The one I’m using in the video is Millet peuterey integrale 35+10… which is ideal for summer multiday trips if you don’t need a tent…
but in the winter 45+10 is a much much better option.
Love from India
great vid. what camera did you use ? quality is great.
Thank you!
Most of the time I’m using the gopro hero 10… but for some shots (when I’m zooming or in the dark) I’m also using my iphone 13mini.
thx@@andrazegart
Do you reserve bivouacs in advance or is the possibility of sharing the shelter a part of the climber's experience?
@11:13 I couldn't sleep with Grandma's clock ticking. 😁
Hej Andraž katero kamero uporabljaš? In koliko imaš prostora na spominski kartici ?
Drugače zelo lepe vide snemaš kar tak naprej!!!
Hey,
Uporabljam gopro hero 10 s 64gb kartico.
Za enodnevne ture je ponavadi to dost prostora, ampak za dvodnevne pa velikokrat zmanka, tkoda mam vedno še dve rezervni s sabo.
Pa tudi če se slučajno zgodi error na kartici, me reši rezervna, saj potem lahko naprej snemam brez da bi formatiral kartico in izgubil ves material.
@@andrazegart TY Sm
Very nice😊
What’s missing is a cup of hot coffee in the morning, black of course.
I wonder how many miles that banana traveled to be in this video
