The 33k people that viewed your video should have given you 33k thumbs up!! Your videos are so calming the music the videography just breathtaking. Thanks for sharing your adventure. ☮️❤️
At a time I feel so lost, your videos are a little ray of light. Some of those shots look absolutely unreal, and the other ones are simply breathtaking. Impatiently waiting for your next video.
For someone like me who lives in a big city, I yearn to move away and see the sky, with no pollution. Your photography is beautiful, love your content! Cheers. ✨
I see why you have plenty of work!!...It feels like the music was Made for your scenic shots... not the other way around. (okay, am buttering you up a bit, as this is really good!) I loved the Northwest in September - 25 years ago - on a visit. I keep coming back to watch it again... The soothing echoing voices of forlorn sprites and fairies, then the rumbling, like on the Shining! -Hauntingly exhilarating... in the best ways. And, I live on Maui, yet remember the beauty... looking just as you have captured here... Wowww!
I love watching the waves of clouds falling over like a waterfall at minute 0:24. I watched again and again...and it i just so satisfying just to see the clouds. Thank you for sharing
Seeing these images I (65 year old married man, retired accountant living in a large house with a large garden) can only think one thing: I am going to sell my house, sell my wife, buy a camper and leave the Netherlands for the US
If your wife gets wind, you might not have to worry about selling anything. As always the images are stunning...almost makes me want to venture off my island.
I am so envious of the ability you have to see such places so readily. I know I could have done something like that back in the day but I am also very glad that you get to see and do those things in your videos. Very, very impressive and beautiful! Have a great Sunday!
It’s never too late to try something new ☺️ every time I wonder if I’m too old for something or I’ve ‘missed the boat’ - I think of my eighty year old grandma who still downhill skies 😅 I’m only 36 and you couldn’t pay me to downhill ski haha. It’s all relative, and so much is possible 🤍
I agree with what so many say about your videos and i really enjoy you taking us all on your journey. For someone who likes being alone at times, i hope you know that you have us all with you on your journey. You never cease to amaze us with your videos and I'm grateful for you showing us how big and beautiful this country is. Thank you for being you and stay safe out there.
I was flying over Seattle, the plane was heading towards Tacoma airport, when taking a look outside. I saw nothing but a cloud cover and a great beautiful mountain breaking through it. I didn't even know about that mountain, it was an incredible sight.
@@ChristianSchaffer I didn't either, otherwise I would have seen the fantastic scenery coming. I just asked my neighbor, if I could took a look since we went for landing. So I leaned over him, watching through the small window, and couldn't believe that incredible sight. That volcano was so mighty. And that's not all. A minute later, he said "look at that". I took a look again, a small hole opened in the cloud cover, exactly over the space needle, it was unbelievable, like in a bad movie. My neighbor, he was from the U.S. national team in chainsaw sculpture carving (didn't even know that exists) said "it's so great to be at home again" (he was on a championship, I think in Russia). I was so jealous, Seattle seamed so beautiful and magic, and he was at home there. That was 2015, I was traveling on a conference. I'm a migrant in Germany and there's no place I feel so belonging to like that guy in that moment. I fell in love with Seattle then, and now I understand why there are so many love and drama movies playing there, I notice them on TV at least twice a year since then.
The beauty of this place is so surreal. I love the way you see things. The world is an amazing place as seen through your eyes. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
I'll add my yes to the tone of these comments. I always look forward to your style of photography and cinematography, and your music choices as well. Thanks.
Shooting self while shooting... There's always the Osmo Pocket, can even track you or your face... (the Pocket or Pocket 2 really fit in your pocket.) Beautiful, there! Thx for sharing. -Scotty on Maui.
Stunning. South Africa is beautiful in a completely different way so I have never experienced the particular exquisite beauty of the Northwestern USA, and Mt Rainier...
The clouds floating down over the mountains in the beginning set the tone for this video. I love how you capture the landscape and nature. Thank You keep up the great vids.
You are truly an artist! You know just how to capture the beauty from the magnificent and awesome canvas that surrounds you. Thank you Christian for always sharing!
Thank you for the great video. I grew up in CA but now live in Wales with my wife. When people here ask me what I miss about the States think look at me weird when I say "mountain". They have nice foot hills, but no mountain like you have in the States. After being away from the States for 7 years, my family came back to CA in 2019. One of the first place we visited was Sequoia and when I got there it was the first time in year I had felt peace with myself.
Hi, I’m not someone who takes a lot of photos or even have a lot of photos that someone else has taken. Snaps of holidays or events don’t do anything for me but your photography and videos of mountainscapes and desert imagery makes me both want to be there and be able to capture imagery like you show to us. Thank you.
I can look out my window now and see Mount Rainier. I’m only about 45 minutes from it. It’s awesome seeing it from your point of view. Like always, another awesome video.
One day I woke up in my apartment in Manhattan and thought, 'What do I like to do?' The answer was politics, photography and travel. A friend had a trucking company so I got a job driving a truck cross country. I stayed on that truck for 7 years and loved the job. Not only did I get thousands of images but got to speak with hundreds of people from all walks of life. I was able to work on political campaigns in every part of the country whenever I had a few days in a particular location. I would recommend the job to anyone wanting to discover America on many different levels while doing a very essential job that is the life blood of the nation! Love your work and the quality of the production.
Absolutely stunning vlog Christian, what a beautiful world we live in. Thank you for showing me landscapes that I would never see without watching you.
Totally agree with your headlamp strategy Christian! I only wear one when I absolutely need it. In most cases, I can see better without it and have more awareness of everything around me.
Christian You never miss. Excellent video after excellent Video. Thank You for all of your hard work and for sharing your expertise. Stay Safe, keep posting and I'll keep watching 🙏👍
Thank you for sharing some of the details involved in creating this video, and then rewarding us with phenomenal scenes of an iconic mountain. Your dedication and humility are refreshing, watching you grow in this space is inspiring.
Wow!!! Awe---Wow!! Just so stunningly...breath-takingly....beautiful! Your video-capturing is magnificent....awesome camera focus/lens. Thank you much for sharing. So inspiring...amore! Safe and Happy Travels! *Vandie Van Wings*
Christian - I was raised in the southwest English countryside - nothing like this landscape - that deer shot was inspired - keep safe and keep driving.
A beautiful and interesting video. Nobody can top that scenery. And interesting to see what a complete professional you are, a full skillset and willing to let us see you at work. Beats how to do van life all to pieces. Loving it.
You are too kind 🙈 I’m forever learning out here. It’s been really great to share these moments with you all. Sometimes I see a sunset/sunrise and it just kills me that so many people are asleep in their beds, missing out on something so beautiful 😌
Really loved the opening montage with rolling clouds coupled with that beautiful music you chose which you used again later in the video. It really sets a mood.
When you are sitting on the rock and the sun's rays illuminate your face, it is a magical moment. nature is amazing.I've watched video several times. Thank you so much!
Hi Christian. I only recently came across your UA-cam channel but I'm totally hooked. You are a beautiful person making beautiful videos and I'm devouring them all. You're such a natural and informative communicator with fun and serious things to tell us about your life on the road. Wherever you go on your travels, I'll be with you.
Hi Christian, you just keep raising the bar on your vlog. That was excellent !! I love to walk in the woods after dark as well. My wife thinks I am an idiot...but I just really enjoy it !! Your music selection really added to it as well. I look forward to your videos, thank you so much for these.
@@ChristianSchaffer dude your videos are phenomenal, i cannot put into words how great they are. I have only watched 2 videos of yours and you already have my sub. So great
Thanks to your videos I decided to come out to Washington and visit Mt Rainer and it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. This state is so beautiful 😍
I see where you've been and it makes me appreciate what you do. We should all stop and just admire what's around us. No matter how big or small, the world is just magnificent!! Thank you for sharing it's true beauty and wonder!!
8:11 - What a fantastic shot. Almost didn't catch the wildlife in it! Really loved the atmosphere of this one. It captured the feeling of a cool-weathered, contemplative moment of solitude in nature.
Beautiful! I have found myself mountain biking as the dusk grows darker. I'm not much of a singer, but I sang my heart out to warn the lions away. My favorite song that popped into my head during those times was from Wizard of Oz, "If I only had a brain." Making up new lyrics kept me entertained. Be safe out there! ❤️
I love the soft, subtle layers of your images. It's your signature. I follow your channel mainly for the photography and would love to see you describe more about "how you took the shot".
Thanks Christian for such a wonderful vlog visually and musically. Felt like I was backpacking again with my late brother, Cecil, in the Mt.Rainier NP. 🗻⛺👣✨🌲🎶
Thank you Christian. Love your work and your spirit. A lot of people don't know what an elk bugling sounds like, it must have been like magic in that setting.
Christian, your photography and videos are absolutely breathtaking. I just can‘t get enough of them. I love your voice and what you have to say. Your van is exactly the way I want my van to be! Can‘t wait to start building. I‘m just saving up right now but hope to start next Spring🙏🏻
This entire video is a lusciously crafted study in light and focus. Thanks for making this. The light there is so different than in my stretches of the Appalachian mountains.
@@ChristianSchaffer It is. The light is more diffuse this time of year but that’s where the Blue Ridge Mountains get their name. I think we don’t have the pinks that I see in your photography.
Growing up in Bellevue, Mount Rainer was a favorite "Sunday drive" for a family outing. A bit older when I was backpacking a lot in the Cascades, the alpine trails around Rainer were in themselves some of the best as they crossed open meadows with spectacular views. I have not been to the top but have been up on the glaciers. The energy there is indeed magical! Thank you for your dedicated work capturing this.
So awesome that you’ve been up on the glaciers - I’ve often seen climbers headlamps on the mountain at night and wondered what the view must be like in all those walls of ice. So cool to think about 🧊
The 33k people that viewed your video should have given you 33k thumbs up!! Your videos are so calming the music the videography just breathtaking. Thanks for sharing your adventure. ☮️❤️
There are but a few UA-camrs who can capture nature the way you do. I thank you for sharing.
WA 4 Life!!! Beautiful work Ms. Schaffer! Thank you for taking us along with you!
Your videos are so gorgeous. The colors, the landscape, ugh.
So well done. Pacing. Shots. Music. Production. All display the artist's touch.
Thanks Jeff ☺️🙏🏻
Christian, your cinematography is so awesome! Thanks for taking us on your journey and reminding us what a beautiful world we live in 😃
Completely agree! Thank you!
If I didn't know my own font, I'd swear that that was MY comment. ;-)
Wow......your videography is magical.....so relaxing and so enjoyable. Thank you.
Stunning cinematography and sound track. Restful! Healing! Cathartic!
Your posts are becoming my happy place!
You’ve captured the beauty of Rainier so well on camera 😭 thank you for sharing this with the world!
A feast for the eyes! God bless and keep you.
thanks for watching ☺️
Just absolutely BEAUTIFUL! 💕
Please be safe out there!!!
Nice way to start the week! Thanks!
We are so lucky to be living on such a beautiful planet. Thankyou for sharing such a sublime frame of reference. : )
It really can be a beautiful world 🍃☺️

September can be the best month in the Northwest!
I hope you can travel some, as well ! :)
I see why you have plenty of work!!...It feels like the music was Made for your scenic shots... not the other way around. (okay, am buttering you up a bit, as this is really good!)
I loved the Northwest in September - 25 years ago - on a visit.
I keep coming back to watch it again... The soothing echoing voices of forlorn sprites and fairies, then the rumbling, like on the Shining! -Hauntingly exhilarating... in the best ways.
And, I live on Maui, yet remember the beauty... looking just as you have captured here... Wowww!
Beautiful! Thank you!
I love watching the waves of clouds falling over like a waterfall at minute 0:24. I watched again and again...and it i just so satisfying just to see the clouds. Thank you for sharing
so many beautiful scenes in this one- rainier really is the best
With your directing sense and aesthetics sense, every video is always lovely, natural, and fun.👍 I am always fun and exciting to watch.😁✨
Seeing these images I (65 year old married man, retired accountant living in a large house with a large garden) can only think one thing: I am going to sell my house, sell my wife, buy a camper and leave the Netherlands for the US
I support all of this, minus the selling of your wife 😅
If your wife gets wind, you might not have to worry about selling anything.
As always the images are stunning...almost makes me want to venture off my island.
Side question...where did you get your tea kettle?
Frans how deep can the wife dig a big hole in that large garden?
So much material here, so little time. Listen, great builds don't come cheap. Extraordinary dreams call for extraordinary measures 💡 🤷♂️
Love how you capture the beautiful mountains, clouds, then tiny moments of a leaf or flower.. it really takes me to the moment... Thank you so much..

I’ve always wanted to see South Africa - so many beautiful landscapes over there
Those shots were definitely worth hanging around for even if it was cold. On one or two shots the mountain looked like it was glowing from the inside.
I agree about the headlamp part. This shows that you are a true outdoorsy person.
The older I get, the more I want to live in the mountains, go hiking and enjoy the wilderness. Washington is high on my bucket list
I grew up in Oregon but moved away for college. Thank you for such beautiful pictures of the Pacific Northwest-there’s nowhere like home❤️
