Take expected amount of time to make a hike ...add 30% more time for going back and getting cameras and setting up shots...add 10% for petting and talking to random animals. Your extra efforts will never go unappreciated.
@4ourfutureinfinity True about added weight. Benefits: keeps snow/water out of your socks and, most importantly, you have less of a chance to experience a sprain ankle, especially on the descent. It all depends of the structure of the trail.
I did this hike in 2017 and I was pleasantly surprised to see the dog in the end. The dog's name was Alejandro and I'm glad to see that he's still doing well!
This feels sooooo weird to watch. I did the same trek last year and now I almost completely relive it by watching this. Was such an emotional hike for me as I went through a rough patch last year and my trip to South America was like a turn-around moment. Reaching the top during this trek (also did the Salkantay Trek to Macchu Pichu, which gave me an equally emotional feeling) was such a glorious moment. Love it, Kraig. Thanks for sharing.
Need to watch it, when it says "solo hike" - you actually put that idea in my head of doing a solo hike trip a few months ago. and a film without saying a word. also need to do that.
Thank you Kraig Adams for this wonderful video. This is so spectacular. I did this hike 42 years ago in 1982 , it reminds me of beautiful memories. The funny thing is that a little dog followed us during the entire trek. Thanks again, you do a great job. 👋👋👋

Hello, Kraig, I'd love to meet you one day. You do a great job and you tell it emotionally well. My English is very bad, but I hope you will understand me, it is appreciated that you portray nature so well and visualize it. It's a pleasure to watch and follow you.
Last year I spend 5 months around Peru, solo trekking through Santa Cruz, Huayhuash, Colca, Salkantay. Thank you for the opportunity to relive a few of these moments through your video. What a country with all pros and cons, a year later I still feel like Peru stole a piece of my heart. (btw. be careful with stray dogs in South America, I learned my lesson hard way 😉)
Man, the Santa Cruz trek is one of my all time favourites. I absolutely loved re-living it through your footage. Honestly your videos are a breeze of peace and serenity, a true joy to watch. Great work!
Those are the videos you save for the days when you feel stressed, or sad and you just need a short holiday from everything with a good friend. Kraig invented a whole new genre of videos: Holiday for the mind. Never experianced similar videos.
That's a perfect description for what these are. I use this as a meditation replacement during times when it's too hard to even close my eyes and let the thoughts slow down
The dog at the end of your trail video hiked the entire Santa Cruz Trek with my husband and me in May 2017!! He was the best guide :) :) We were so happy to see him still living his best life at the time you hiked the SCT 2 years ago.
Hi Kraig, thank you for posting your amazing vids and helping me breath and dream. They are so good. You're a legend, never stop making them! Cheers, NM, Australia
Hey Kraig! We're here in São Paulo travelling with you in Peru trought your beautiful videos. They inspire us a lot and we wish you the best for your next trip. We are here waiting for that. Good luck!! Marcos and Ondina.
That timelapse at 5:20 just dropped my jaw.. wow u did it again. Awesome! Can't wait to get my itchy feet there. Really grateful for your awesome videos. Thanks for inspiring the world ;)
Kraig, I so love how you manage to portray the majesty and wonder of our world, I would be so easy to show the touristy things but you seem to choose in your editing to show a wonderful world in which we live. I also love the simple honesty in which you describe how you reached your target. Thank you.
Undervalued video Kraig, especially from 2:49 to 5:33 where you start to change shots with the music, brilliant work mate... just a perfect place, heaven on earth
this is so touching for me. 10 years ago, i had a dream to be a trekker and Sata Cruz trekking was my first trekking. Now i am a dad of two sweethearts, go to work everyday, living in a big city... But every scene of this video feels like just yesterday happening. thanks a lot.
You are a true inspiration, every time I ride my bicycle or I want to escape in my mind I think of you, and I really get relaxed, thank you and keep up the great work!!!
Enjoying the world and creating a better world by sharing these vids. What an epic youtuber you are! Bless you buddy for sharing these wonderful scenes with us.
I made a couple hiking videos, but without such a clear intention of creating a project like this. I was just trying to learn to make videos and I go hiking anyway. Anyway, I've enjoyed doing making those videos even though I have a lot of room for improvement. I didn't know that hiking videos were a thing people do until I found yours recently and have been binge watching them. Your hiking videos are great! I especially like the way you've been editing your hiking videos in a quiet manner followed with a talking recap of the trip. I've learned a lot of lessons. Much appreciated!
That's better than the movie "Into the Wildness", at least Kraig doesn't die in the end. Keep yourself alive Kraig. Your videos are so inspiring!!! Looking forward to the next ones.
I love love love watching your travel videos. It's like meditating. I always save them for the evening when I'm at home and can enjoy the highest quality on the biggest screen. Truly amazing work, and watching these make me want to go out there and walk it myself.
Im so thankful for youtube algorithms for recommending this channel. The scenes were so breathtaking. Im so excited to earn a lot of money and spend it all for travels..
I like your style of production on this video. Many outdoorsmen/YTrs like to focus on themselves, talk a lot about unimportant things over the beauty around them. But, I do like how you did talk about important things in the last half. A nice set up!
Wow dude you really get around! I am one of the few that travels into far away back woods areas but nothing compare to your amazing travels! Thanks for documenting these travels you filmed for all to see are simply amazing! Like a modern John Muir....
My friend this is nothing short of spectacular. This videography does not belong on the UA-cam platform and you deserve more publicity. I have been a fan of your channel for a while, all I can say is you have grown.
Seriously, thank you soo much Kraig! i was that kind of guy who gets stressed by anything and thinks so much about literally anything. but then i found out your videos, i open my mind while watching them and trying to not thinking about anything, it works dude! your videos really gave a fresh breath to me, and giving peace to my brain and soul.. it cures my stress and depression, your videos are soo beautiful and magical! thank you so much for doing this! i loved them soo much! ( anyway sorry for my bad english and grammar )
Thanks, Kraig for making this video. It reminded me of how freeing travel can make you feel. It's incredible how eerily similar my experience was during this trek nearly 5 years ago. Right down to the night of rain/snow, the loving stray dogs, the ride to the start (minus a blizzard), and the overwhelming existential feeling when taking in those views. It made me feel quite emotional, but it's something I needed to be reminded of how lucky I am to have experienced this first hand. Fantastic work, keep inspiring us!
This is by far the best shot in my entire youtube life. Not just remind me of 4 good days hike there but also give me such a calm and relaxing mood. Thanks for hiking, recording, editing, and sharing it.
Absolutely incredible, as always. I absolutely loved the video, and I love the detail at the end where you describe everything, really helpful and nice.
An epic production! I am visiting South America for the first time in April and I can't wait (I'll be treking around near Punta Areanus and them machu pichu/cusco in Peru :D
omg i really can't believe this it's like all this nature from a video game or something ! keep it up Kraig we really really admire your videos and your adventure
Kraig you seemed pretty down in this video. I know traveling alone has taken its toll on you in the past, but remember that you're never alone, you're accompanied by thousands of us that don't have the ability to travel. You are our eyes, our legs, and we're with you 100% of the way. Phenomenal footage as always. If I win the van you can use it any time.
I did this trek a dozen years ago. Your video brought back good memories. Except the van ride. I was slightly terrified and at one point, opposing traffic forced traffic drama until we could maneuver the vehicles and have people hang on the sides to obtain clearance to pass.
Take expected amount of time to make a hike ...add 30% more time for going back and getting cameras and setting up shots...add 10% for petting and talking to random animals. Your extra efforts will never go unappreciated.
To pet random animals actually would give more benefit to yourself, moreso when someone is solo travelling.
We've got to get this wonderful young man a pair of good hiking boots.
@4ourfutureinfinity True about added weight. Benefits: keeps snow/water out of your socks and, most importantly, you have less of a chance to experience a sprain ankle, especially on the descent. It all depends of the structure of the trail.
I think he runs when he's not filming
How about just dont hike there , u know it could be complete trouble so why bother ? It's Peru one of the most dangerous places on earth.
I did this hike in 2017 and I was pleasantly surprised to see the dog in the end. The dog's name was Alejandro and I'm glad to see that he's still doing well!
Best traveling UA-camr ever
true

I’m starting salkantay tomorrow morning!
Thanks for sharing yourself Florent.
Rx es un I'm

and a film without saying a word. also need to do that.
@@kraigadams I'll let you know, when I do.
Love how you just hear the sounds of hiking, and nothing else.

Hmm i do not think so

Beautiful. Reminded me of when I climbed Alpamayo and Huantsan, very nearby Santa Cruz.
Hermoso mi Peru!! 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪😆
Muy emocionado de ver tanta belleza, mil gracias por compartir estos videos, excelente produccion.
You should start renting out a movie theatre to screen these, would be nothing short of fantastic
MAN PETS DOGS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
The dogs are his Guardian Angels
Your videos are saving my quarentine, thanks from Brazil
man, these hikes must be so therapeutic for you. Peru is so beautiful!
Paisajes maravillosos. Gracias por compartirlos!

“My English is bad”
My guy, your English is better than a lot of native speakers I know
This guy: "My English is very bad".
Also this guy: "it is appreciated that you portray nature so well and visualize it".
Bruh!!!! LOL
Thank you for visiting my country.
bro you inspires me a lot. Once I will finish my college I will start travelling and film making
man, these were some of the most beautiful drone shots i've ever seen. truly captivating from start to finish.
just here to say that I'm refusing to watch this on my phone and I'll be back later.
reminder: to watch this video on your computer
Jason McGhan Yes. I will watch again on my computer
I did samething
Finally watched. Camera work, stunning. Music choices, fantastic. Behind the scenes, insightful. A++
Respect to the video and respect to the fan.
You skipped the laguna on the third day! One of the highlight of the trek. Great video, brought back some good memories.
I loved the trip explanation at the end, and the fact that there are no dislikes on this says everything.
How beautiful this is! Thanks for sharing!
Que belleza. Thanks, for sharing your hikes with us. Love every minute of it....

Probably my favorite hiking videos so far
PERU IS AMAZING
WONDERFUL..
I love how the ride is shaking like crazy and you're still so very calm!
Hey Kraig! We're here in São Paulo travelling with you in Peru trought your beautiful videos. They inspire us a lot and we wish you the best for your next trip. We are here waiting for that. Good luck!! Marcos and Ondina.
Inspiring me to visit Peru! Thank you as always Kraig for your lovely travel films!
Great hike & incredible scenes.. Peru is a lovely place..
That timelapse at 5:20 just dropped my jaw.. wow u did it again. Awesome! Can't wait to get my itchy feet there. Really grateful for your awesome videos. Thanks for inspiring the world ;)
This solo multi-mile hikes in other countries takes a lot of risks and courage. Another great vid!
The word extraordinary doesn't even come close. What views! What camera work!
Improving your mood, decreasing your anxiety and even improving your memory. That's great.
I love how Kraig cares about all the dogs he meets. Such a gentle hearted person. ❤️
Man I LOVE smoking a joint lay back and watching your videos... your videos conecct me to nature !
Nothing can be more relaxing or soothing than watching your videos.
Kraig, I so love how you manage to portray the majesty and wonder of our world, I would be so easy to show the touristy things but you seem to choose in your editing to show a wonderful world in which we live.
I also love the simple honesty in which you describe how you reached your target. Thank you.
1:23 such an amazing shot!
I've always wanted to go to Peru. This is just more inspiration.
I love how you always encounter all this animals on your hikes and how wonderful you treat them! Respect man
I don't know what to say, these mountains are so beautiful. You are the most lucky guy who can walk through those.
One of the best yet. The shot with the parallax effect at 3:15 is just complete bonkers
Undervalued video Kraig, especially from 2:49 to 5:33 where you start to change shots with the music, brilliant work mate... just a perfect place, heaven on earth
this is so touching for me. 10 years ago, i had a dream to be a trekker and Sata Cruz trekking was my first trekking. Now i am a dad of two sweethearts, go to work everyday, living in a big city...
But every scene of this video feels like just yesterday happening. thanks a lot.
You are a true inspiration, every time I ride my bicycle or I want to escape in my mind I think of you, and I really get relaxed, thank you and keep up the great work!!!
Loved doing this trek, especially with all the dogs that join along and act as your trail guide!
Your videos are very therapeutic. You have a gift for sharing the experience and beauty.
Enjoying the world and creating a better world by sharing these vids. What an epic youtuber you are! Bless you buddy for sharing these wonderful scenes with us.
In my critical and valuable opinion you are producing the best travel and hiking vlogs on UA-cam, keep it up.
I made a couple hiking videos, but without such a clear intention of creating a project like this. I was just trying to learn to make videos and I go hiking anyway. Anyway, I've enjoyed doing making those videos even though I have a lot of room for improvement.

the music lining up with the cuts is just *chef’s kiss* (esp around 4:30) expert filming and editing as always, thank you for this 💛
I love your videos about Peru! You make my country look even better. Come back soon!
wow the path with a very beautiful view,,,
🇮🇩🌲♥️
Your color grading is nothing short of amazing. Everything from exposure/contrast and even saturation. Simply, just beautiful...
I love love love watching your travel videos. It's like meditating. I always save them for the evening when I'm at home and can enjoy the highest quality on the biggest screen. Truly amazing work, and watching these make me want to go out there and walk it myself.
You're the GOAT hiking filmmaker. The cinematography was stunning. Thank you for such a masterpiece of a film.
Wow the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Thanks for your videos
Im so thankful for youtube algorithms for recommending this channel. The scenes were so breathtaking. Im so excited to earn a lot of money and spend it all for travels..
I love the zen quality of your videos. I love the drone shots, the animals, the close ups of plants. They're really relaxing to watch.
I like your style of production on this video. Many outdoorsmen/YTrs like to focus on themselves, talk a lot about unimportant things over the beauty around them. But, I do like how you did talk about important things in the last half. A nice set up!
The horses in the fog was simply epic..
Some shots in those videos seems straight out of a million dollars worth movie production, simply stunning.
Support for living your dream. Hiking, filming and just enjoying life! Hope for your future just the best. Greetings from a fan in Germany.
Wow dude you really get around! I am one of the few that travels into far away back woods areas but nothing compare to your amazing travels! Thanks for documenting these travels you filmed for all to see are simply amazing! Like a modern John Muir....

Stunning video - great presentation of pure nature not spoiled with selfies - and great information at the end !
Awesome video thanks. Really getting motivated to hike Peru and do both Machu Picchu and this or another trek in 1 trip this winter to prep for the AT
Seriously, thank you soo much Kraig! i was that kind of guy who gets stressed by anything and thinks so much about literally anything. but then i found out your videos, i open my mind while watching them and trying to not thinking about anything, it works dude! your videos really gave a fresh breath to me, and giving peace to my brain and soul.. it cures my stress and depression, your videos are soo beautiful and magical! thank you so much for doing this! i loved them soo much! ( anyway sorry for my bad english and grammar )
These drone shots are a work of an art
That shot at 3:10 was incredibly moving and humbling. Your work is utterly beautiful. Thank you

You seem like a cool guy man, love the videos. Cheers to great adventures!
Another lovely film, Kraig! Thank you
I love your videos. No crazy editing. You allow the moments to speak for themselves.
Cinematography spot on as always. Hard to nail this style but you've done it!
Восхитительно!!!😍
This is by far the best shot in my entire youtube life. Not just remind me of 4 good days hike there but also give me such a calm and relaxing mood.
Thanks for hiking, recording, editing, and sharing it.
FROM EGYPT , You Are Amazing ❤️
Watching this from Ollantaytambo Peru right now. Amazing as usual Kraig 👏🏽
Absolutely incredible, as always. I absolutely loved the video, and I love the detail at the end where you describe everything, really helpful and nice.
This channel is great, thank you for sharing your travels.
Love this style where you show the hike in the first half and show the explanation in the second. Wonderful idea.
Was looking for bikes, stayed for your story, hiking and the views - now I'm hooked!
QUALITY CONTENT. That is all there is. Good job, Kraig.
Favorite shot at 5:09 most people just put the camera away when it rains, but you made it interesting! You’ve killing it man ✊🏼
Loving the whole talking about the hike thing at the end, really interesting, keep it up!
An epic production! I am visiting South America for the first time in April and I can't wait (I'll be treking around near Punta Areanus and them machu pichu/cusco in Peru :D
just wow
i stumbled upon your videos a couple weeks back
what you are doing is amazing
thanks
omg i really can't believe this it's like all this nature from a video game or something ! keep it up Kraig we really really admire your videos and your adventure
I hope to one day get to do something similar in Peru. Your rendition is again a masterpiece! Kudos Kraig.
Kraig you seemed pretty down in this video.

I did this trek a dozen years ago. Your video brought back good memories. Except the van ride. I was slightly terrified and at one point, opposing traffic forced traffic drama until we could maneuver the vehicles and have people hang on the sides to obtain clearance to pass.
I did it on 2003 and 2023. Still want to return in years to come.
