      Nice job Kraig, really enjoy your videos...one thing tho, your tent sucks. I think you would find a quality "mid" style shelter to be lighter and more weather proof.

    From Kraig's music soundtracks to his blending of music and hiking sounds, to his still-shot compositions, to his drone footage, to his lighting, to his impeccable taste in the trails he hikes- EVERY PART of his content shows high level artistic taste. You're a true artist, Kraig.

    Hey Kraig. Love your videos, thanks for the beautiful images. You’re showing off some of Washington’s best spots, but I was pretty disappointed seeing you camp twice on top of alpine meadow vegetation. We have a LOT of people hiking here that aren’t taking proper care to leave no trace. It’d be great to see you set a better example with your platform.

    Whether it be a test, a job, life in general, or my boyfriend being gone to boot camp, your videos bring peace of mind. They allow me to breathe and relax when nothing else can, your videos do more than you think, never stop. Thank you so much

  • @pnwfinn9682

    The lake shot at 9:53 is absolutely inspiring. Incredible video as always.

  • @hobartcommuter4809
    @hobartcommuter4809 3 роки тому

    If there was a soundtrack to these videos (which I wouldn't recommend - your signature style of beautiful landscapes that sing for themselves is gorgeous) then it might be Cat Steven's 'I love my dog'. Seriously though, these are terrific - there are no other videos I save for watching on a huge smart TV. Anything less doesn't do them justice. Love your work Kraig - I hope it brings you as much pleasure as it does your audience.

  • @charlieallen9565
    @charlieallen9565 3 роки тому

    I think this video is the best formula for your films. 1.Peaceful and quiet hike scenes. 2.Have fun in your explanation/ad break. The juxtaposition of the two half’s are broken up nicely and keeps the audience engaged. Thank you for your work, it’s great!!

    The first 13 mins felt so intimate and blissfully minimalistic cuz of your decision to just use the sound that your camera/mic has captured! Another great one Craig :)

  • @VideoCrazeism
    @VideoCrazeism 3 роки тому +2

    I've been watching all of your videos for over and a year and keeping tabs on where you go because I would like to do it someday. This summer I got the chance to build my own camper, and will not set out west to hike and live the life that I have been dreaming of. Your videos have been a big inspiration and have fueled my wanderlust.

    • @JordanGreenPNW
      @JordanGreenPNW 3 роки тому +3

      Matt Mancini I would plan where you’re trying to stay ahead of time for sure then and look at the satellite map on AllTrails. Up in the high altitude alpine zone (which is where we stayed) the trees get super small/weak.

  • @DAVEWILLIAMSON
    @DAVEWILLIAMSON 3 роки тому +5

    This was one of my favourite videos of yours! I think the lack of music made it super immersive. Although the ambient music can lift some moments of big expansive landscapes, the lack of music and just nature sound gave the trek a unique character, hearing the sound of the natural surroundings. I guess sometimes ambient music, although beautiful, can add a bit of aural heaviness or fatigue when watching, whereas the natural sounds are quite refreshing. Perhaps just me, but also could help give each video their own unique 'sound'. :)

  • @morty412
    @morty412 3 роки тому

    Kraig, awesome as usual.
    Two things: agree with starting hike later. We have been hiking the Sierra's for years. We now ONLY start hiking at dusk, into the night. No bugs, people, cooler. It is easy once your eyes adjust.
    Second: your creek crossing. TIP: Always look ahead to the shoreline. NEVER down. Try it! Seems a bit counterintuitive but it works to keep steady progress.
