  • Mother nature can be beautiful one minute and terrifying the next.
    The following occurred Just days prior to the catastrophic Fuego Volcano eruption that has killed so many and devastated the local communities.
    At the time of the hike we were blown away by the beauty of what we were seeing (Lee actually cried). Our dog, Occy, had an absolute blast joining the gang as we ascended almost 4000m.
    A few days later there were more tears, as our hearts dropped when Fuego erupted on a much larger scale, causing Guatemala the greatest devastation in 40 years and stealing the lives of so many innocent people - leaving the survivors without homes and without many without the rest of their family.
    Max went to the villages to offer aid and help in any way that he could. Along with providing medical supplies and money direct to survivors, we have decided to donate all of the proceeds that we have received this month from our Patreon account to “The God’s Child Project”. A local Antiguan charity that is directly involved in helping the survivors.
    If you would like to donate to them directly, here is the link to their website: godschild.org/
    DRONE FOOTAGE AND OCCY POV CAM: A huge thanks to Luis (INSTAGRAM @luisfer_burbano2090) for letting us use his drone footage and and Occy POV footage. He is an incredibly talented videographer and good friend. Make sure you check out his Insta page!
    Thank you to Wicho & Charlies for being such an excellent tour company!

    Hi guys! We have just been monetized!!! We are going to donate any revenue that comes from this video straight to the charity 'The God's Child Project'. So that means that simply by viewing the video you are earning money for the victims of the volcano!!! So thank you!
    If you enjoyed the video and want to help get it out there can you please like, comment and share it!
    Thank you so much for watching and aiding those in need! Xx

      Great video! Just donated to Godschild. Thank you for bringing a spotlight to this event. On a lighter note, also want to just say your visuals and editing are getting so good. The entire sequence on acatenango around 11mins in was just incredible. Keep up the good work! My favorite channel on UA-cam.

    Hi guys, we really hope you get something out of this video. Guatemala is suffering at the moment and they need every bit of help they can get. That includes not just aid like donations, but also continued tourism. A lot of locals rely on the tourism trade to make a living a feed their families. Tours up the volcano have already restarted and Antigua is shaken but otherwise back to normal. Please consider Guatemala as your next travel destination, it is a beautiful country with the friendliest people going around : ).
    If you have any questions leave them in the comments below, otherwise, just let us know what you think! xx

    I started watching your vids even before you were here in Guatemala, once you got,here I was really excited to see one of my fav youtubers film my beautiful country. The volcano eruption was devastating even me, that I live approximately 50 km away from the volcano got ashes. Thank you for your beloved message, thank you for using your platform to communicate the magnitude of the situation. Guatemala needs you, not just right now, but to give continuity to the situation, our people is going to need us in the near future, and as you learned, the Government is of none help. Beautiful but tragically country, with this happened, I, as a Guatemalan want you to keep coming here, and don't let these catastrophes keep you out of our country, which has a lot to offer you. Thank you Max, Lee, and Occy! Guatemala needed you

Wish there were a way you guys could work out the finances and keep going and keep bringing your world to us in such a vivid, compelling, and beautifully edited way. I did my small part, just made a Patreon donation. Hope others take the time to do so too.

We are separated by great distance but thanks to the internet we are still a team. We hope with monetization, hard work and dedication to our goal I can be back sooner and later and we can continue to show you the world through our experiences xx

    I loved the Occy-cam! Just so great to have his perspective :) It was adorable when he saw the other dog's butt up ahead and hustled to get there! I was lol for real. The volcano shots were amazing, beautiful, once in a lifetime. I'm guessing since Lee is away that Max did the editing? Excellent job, are you sure you were a paramedic and not a movie producer? and Lee you're so sweet! I teared up when you dedicated that baby tree.Your decision to financially help the people who lost everything in the volcano eruption is pure love, since Lee is out hustling for money too. Another example of why you guys are truly the best. I'm late, but Congrats on 100k subs!

    Just saw this video and subscribed. I climbed Volcán de Agua right next to Antigua back in 1989 when I was travelling alone in my VW campervan from the top of Alaska to the bottom of South America and Europe , a three year journey before my van was stolen in Seville, Spain (no insurance, lost the lot!). No internet back then, no drones and no gopro. But I enjoyed your video and it certainly brought back many memories. Your video was well done in every way. Lovely dog also.

      Aww thank you! To be honest, not really. Well not so far anyway. I think a lot of people don't realize that for the first 5 years of Occy's life he was an outside dog in Australia. It gets bloody hot there and he's used to it!

    That's so cool that you got so close to the volcano!! I've been to Guatemala a couple times, and when we stayed in Antigua we could see volcan de agua, which is pretty close to volcan del fuego, erupting every night. It was awesome and so surreal!

    Max! Was this your edit?? You improved! You can soften your cuts (especially when doing interviews) by cutting/splicing audio and the video. For example go 3 secs before and after the bits you want and cut the audio but let the video transition. Ahhh I'm so proud of you!! Also your eyebrows are beautiful and with so many close-up shots on them I'd be remiss to not say so.
    I love that you both are danger folks, those volcano shots were A-MAZ-ING!! I loved watching Occy enjoy his life. Also one of the people you hi-5d looks exactly like my friend Jase.
    I appreciate the respect, love, and deep admiration you have for nature, the places you go, the people you meet, and the experiences you're able to have.
    Thank you for letting a local speak to the tragic event. That was such an important insight. Continue to stay safe on your travels.
    Find love, find beauty, find Waldo. ♡ (:

    You could have made a drama video, but you didn't. You made a heartwarming video with incredible view and real emotions from you and from the locals. Thank you for being who you are and being real!

    WOW, no words, but I'll try, lol! This footage is amazing. Seeing a volcano erupting in real time was awesome. You see it in documentaries, but coming from you two just as it was happening makes it more real to me. I'm so happy that you are helping with your time and voice to raise money for this cause, just terrible how these natural disasters can really devastate a community like this. I hope this doesn't seem like a gratuitous question, but Lee, I thought you were headed out? Did plans change? Thanks for this all of you and Occy is the best!

    • @lorrainecalvert5155

    • @MaxLeeandOccy
      @MaxLeeandOccy  6 років тому

      Thank you Shoko. We climbed up with 'Wicho's and Charlie's' and I believe the elevation gain was around 1500m in which 1200m was climbed the first day and the last 300m in the early morning!

    I’ve been quietly watching your videos since you first one as I hadn’t known you together when you were uploading. This video of your hike was truly magical, emotional and more feelings than I can comprehend. I feel bad to say it was beautiful to see as so many people died from this volcano. But the footage you shared truly left me in awe. Sending you love and strength Max and family/ friend of lee ❤️❤️. And to everyone who was affected by this eruption, my heart is with you

    this was one of the most beautiful raw videos I have ever watched on youtube. I´m completely blown away by not only your incredible volcano footage (like, seriously WOW) but also by the way you handled this entire situation. It must have been so difficult for you guys to see the beauty of this area and all the special people you met be affected by this terrible eruption. I know how you must have felt because I climbed Mount Agung in Bali last year only 2 days after they evacuated the entire area because of a threatening volcano eruption.
    Anyway, you raising awareness like this AND donating your earnings is a huge help and incredible generous of you. I´m so happy to hear that you have finally been monetized. Looking forward to your next adventure

I will definitely hike Acatenango soon (hopefully next year) cause watching the Volcan de Fuego erupting in front of you must be AMAZING.
