For those people like me who have disabilities. It's content creators like Kraig here that help bridge the gap to help those who physically cannot experience this wilderness to get to witness a small sliver but much larger exposure compared to past general content on the internet. Thank you!!
@@denisbelya3079 yes please. Some may see content online as "showing off" but when used as a tool. Those who cannot reach, can be given the gift to witness things that their disability or environment stops them having that choice.
If you're just getting to know his channel from his recent videos, you should watch his older stuff. His personality really comes through from his minimalist vlogs and vids.
I'm glad you made the switch to hiking videos. I think that's why I came across your channel. Beautiful and inspiring videos. Keep up the awesome work!
I was one of those people that discovered you due to the Iceland video. I shared it with about a dozen people and I know that at least 2 of them also subscribed. I'm happy for your success. Keep up the great work.
The Iceland video was like a meditation, keep doing silent and with that music, I completely zoned into it and cleared my mind, and it also inspired me to just go for a walk at 5am
You inspired me to get off the couch and film my first hiking video. I think we are starting to witness a new era of storytelling in the silent video genre. I've watched a lot of similar channels both in and outside the hiking genre explode lately and I'm really enjoying creating similar content. I have a long way to go as I become more deliberate with my compositions and editing skills but I wanted to thank you for your transparency and just being so real with your audience.
Yes please keep making the hiking videos! There's really nothing else like them on UA-cam. You inspired me to start making my own, you're the man Kraig!
Been following your channel silently for the past year or so and just wanted to say that you are like the coolest... normal dude. I don't know how to put it other than to say you seem like a normal person that I would know IRL, but you do a lot of dope things involving film that I aspire to do.
I think it's worth noting that Death Stranding was about to release at the time and your video showed those vibes so the YT algorithm recommended your videos to those crowds. Just something I thought worth pointing out.
Good point. I also think people respond positively when he (kraig) puts out content that's personal and sincere. I've been subscribed for so long, wfs baby.
Been in and out as a subscriber for the past 2/3 years, dunno why. Yet this update felt so real and it’s visible how much you have grown as an individual. So inspiring Kraig. I wish you the best and maybe we can meet when you came to Portugal and hike Serra da Estrela, Gerês or Costa Vicentina. See you on next update.
Dang man. It sounds like your'e doing amazing. Super happy to see you finding yourself and continuing to explore. Congratulations on everything Kraig... and Peak Designs can suck it for not paying you.
Your work is spectacular. Your ability to capture the grandeur of our planet is stunning. Your videos are my favorite, hands down. Thank you for what you do. It is wonderful to watch your footage it is heart opening, and beautiful.
I found you a few years ago and just love your videos, I have shared them with others who also love your vids. I do like the music you choose too. Not many can handle the experience of being alone with themselves for long periods of time like you do, but I also think it is imperative that one learns to like their own company. Your living the life many would like, it is all about freedom my friend, keep up the good work and I will keep on living vicariously with you.
UA-cam recommended me your Tour de Mont Blanc video right after I finished my TMB, and I was shocked by how beautifully you shown this trek! I've watched it several times and will watch again. Thank you for such an amazing and inspiring content.
I really like the content you are creating here on yt. Please do not change, I absolutely love the silent films and the way you create your videos, It is absolutely unique. I am looking forward to future projects as well. You always make my day.
hey just want to let you know that i only discovered your channel about a month ago and you have already changed my outlook on travelling, and inspired me to plan my own backpacking trip in europe. i really like your hiking films, just like everyone else
Love your silent videos, very relaxing and immersing. Hope you get to move to your farm soon, I'm sure you'll enjoy the next phase of your life. I love watching your videos, they serve as a connection to nature and the outdoors for so many of us who just can never go there ourselves. Great work!
That peak design ad was CLASSIC!!! Keep it up Kraig, I’ve been following since your wedding film school channel. Good seeing something new! Happy New year and can’t wait to see what you do next year!
So happy you have found a great balance between the content you want to make that is sustainable both economically and emotionally. Keep it going, it’s very inspirational to see!
Subscribed after watching the Iceland hike video. Big fan of the silent film, your photography and use of the drone to capture those beautiful panoramic scenes. As a music lover the track selection was also awesome for the video. Loved every bit. Hoping to see more!
absolutely love the silent hiking videos so tranquil and theraputic ,also the behind the scenes at the end amazing .Your a good man Kraig keep em coming
Kraig You deserve WAY MORE subscribers!! I love your videos, u made me realize how important is to escape and enjoy the beautiful things in Nature and in Life. Thank you! Don't stop doing what u do best and never give up.
Glad to hear your videos are blowing up! I found you via your Grand Canyon video. So good! I love how you tell the story with image alone and the minimalist soundtrack is perfect. Keep it up!
Hope to see more hiking related videos, since your Peru trip was the one I started to watch n subbed. Every now and then whatever stories you bring up are just fine as I can get to know you better. Happy trails!
Kraig, forget the PCT, consider the long hike in New Zealand "Te Araroa". I visited NZ in 2016 for a road trip in the north island and it was SPECTACULAR! The landscape is breathtaking...if you're going to spend that time on a trail, choose a beautiful geographically diverse landscape
Hi Kraig, i subbed after your Hornstrandir video, the type of video/quiet peaceful nature shoot just appealed to me. Love your laid back easy going attitude in front of the camera. Merry Christmas!
Love the update Kraig. Miss you a ton man. Sad to hear about the podcasts as I was always excited to hear them. I'm happy you're doing good. Happy holidays and here's to another great year!
Dude, thanks for the informitive update. I'm new to your channel and your Grand Canyon Rim to Rim trail has inspired me to finally head out west! Keep doing what you do.
your videos are so chill... my goal is to live life like you, really enjoying the things you like and just... living, being happy, meeting friends and stuff I'm still in highschool but I hope I still feel this way as an adult! keep up the good work bro :D
Always great to watch your updates. I still remember the first video I saw of a Japan trip, and I didn't know this channel would turn out to be one of my favorites of all time.
I absolutely love *_any_* video you make Thank you for this life update, I really like that format too! I wish you happy holidays and success in all your endeavors! I'm grateful for all the wonderful content you've created Thank you Kraig
The first time I stumbled across one of your videos it was the Tour Du Mont Blanc, and there was something so mental about the silent hiking video with the spacious music and the scenery. It was so calming and relaxing. I've never seen anything like it before but wanted to see more. It was an amazing 180 twist from a usual vlog or click bait high speed video. The inspiration of minimalist hiking and the story telling was very moving or not saying a single word. Keep up the amazing work! p.s. You have inspired me into traveling minimalist and on very small budgets that I never thought was possible!!!!!
I did my first hike at mount Pilatus Switzerland this summer (believe it or not wearing sandals, polo shirt, and shorts :p) I'm hooked into hiking and been researching gears and watching hiking videos ever since. I found your hike in Spain video by chance and loved it. You did not ask like other UA-camrs but I already did it. Liked and subscribed!
Huaraz, Peru, is definitely the most underrated part of Peru, and one of the most beautiful regions. I also got terrible altitude sickness on Laguna 69 trek and had to turn around. I don't think you should give up on it! Give it another chance! I'd love to see more of your fantastic cinematography of that region. It deserves attention. Looking forward to PCT videos! Happy New Year!
Your hiking films are what got me interested in your channel. I took a peak at your older stuff and it's definitely not my cup of tea, so I'm glad you decided to try something different 'cause I now look forward to each of your videos.
Hey Kraig! Just watched the whole video, thanks for sharing. I gotta say that I feel very identified with your vision! I wish you the best in your slow path and hopefully we can meet along the way!
Merry Christmas! We are touring OC California as well as grand Canyon for the holidays (we are from Toronto Canada), we love your video. Best wishes for the new year!
Your silent hiking videos are amazing, that being said I really appreciate these videos as well. It's obvious you're very sincere regarding your content and purpose here and the transparency with sponsors and how you hope to move forward is a much needed change from the usual youtube junk. I started watching a couple days ago and have binged your content, you're very skilled. Keep it up man, you're an inspiration for how to live a simpler and more fulfilling life. As one NYer to another, I hope this career path continues to open up for you!
This video makes me so happy! I am so glad you're going to keep doing this amazing thing. I love your videos and am so inspired to get out of the city and walk around in some far away places and sweat during it.
Just wanted to give a shout out, your involvement in the video industry has been extremely helpful. I found you with the Hornstrandir video and loved it, then found out about your connection to Wedding Film School and it's been very helpful in my side business as a wedding videographer. Your involvement at the B&H Panasonic S1H round table was also very helpful and because of all the information and perspective, I influenced my employer to invest in 2 of those cameras. Keep it up man, thank you for sharing & caring!
Found you when you posted you Japan blog, was such a refreshing change from the usual type of travel videos. You make art. Looking forward to what you’re going to do in 2020.
Cheers! And congratulations on your success with the Iceland video. I’ve been following your channel for some time and am consistently impressed with your work. It’s a pleasure to see someone with your talent and “eye” recognised. I believe you’re quite gifted and I look forward to seeing your future films.
Hey Peak Design person scrolling the comments. It's me, a dedicated, long-term Kraig Adams watcher that really enjoyed the ad read because it was uniquely Kraig. It's hard to take ads seriously when UA-cam is so full of them. This made the ad fresh and made me want to buy a bag. Please pay him. But seriously Kraig. Glad to hear you are getting a dog & 2020 sounds like it's going to be an awesome year with your dog. Just sitting down to plan some summer hikes for this summer up here in Jasper & Banff.
Kraig, you seem to be in the right path to getting what you want. Your focus & minimalism should get you there, but avoid the trappings of trying to have it all. You are very young, when the time is right, things will fall into place. As to the farm? Washington, Montana or Wyoming should do it! Love your solo hiking trips to locations I can no longer get to. Wishing you continued success!
Kraig; You look like so tender and lovely as a child; but your videos show a daring and audacious man as few. Congratulations, really no many can do what you do. I am falling in love of your videos. Thanks for showing the beauty of the Mother Nature of those places of the world where it's not easy to get. Keep that energy and enthusiasm for the solo travels. You are gorgeous
Huge fan of the silent hiking videos. I've always had a personal creativity "block" with hiking/travel films of my own. I always hated the idea of having to take time to get shots of myself yammering about the things around me. I think silence removes a lot of the "ego-centric" vibe you get with most other youtube/online video content and brings the focus back onto the subject (the GREAT outdoors in this case). Your films have definitely inspired me to take a step back and start thinking about those sorts of projects again. Keep up the good work! P.S. If you choose to adopt a doggo companion, please adopt from a shelter and don't buy from a breeder
I rarely comment on great UA-cam videos due to laziness but hey, Kraig, I'm really happy that you are doing what you love and I hope you continue doing that. I've been following your work since the first couple videos about minimalism. By observing the changes happened to you through the journey I can say that as long as you keep learning and enjoying the experiences you go through in life, you're a really great and successful person. I hope you think that too. Keep doing the good things and I hope I see more posts from you I think we all, the subscribers, want that too. And yeah, getting a dog is a great idea. Cheers.
Kraig - We love it when you are being yourself. You don't have to try and top the Iceland video, you don't have to do anything that does not feel natural to you. Your charm is being yourself (and the beautiful nature shots).
You are a big inspiration Kraig! I left my job and I'm starting a long trip from South America next month and I'm going to hike like you alone and really do what I want to do.Keep going and good luck with everything!
Kraig, I just recently discovered your channel and am extremely impressed with the quality and content of your videos, amazing stuff! You've really inspired me to work on my cinematography and take it to a new level. I'm using a Sony and know it's capable of much better than I've been doing. I appreciate what you're doing, keep the hiking content coming!
I've been watching you for years Kraig and from the wedding school days :) I am so happy for you that things have changed for you for the best, you are so hard working and deserve so much more. Keep following your heart I am enjoying all you create, Merry Christmas 🙌👏👍✨
Found you because of the Picos video. Heading there next year to shoot and hike. Can’t wait - was so inspiring. Anyways. Love your work Kraig. Keep it up 🚶🏼♂️
This is a comment from a 70 year old guy: Thank you for giving us some insight into how you operate and how you generate funds for your trips. Due so a myriad of things, your life is so different from mine when I was your age. It thrills me that you, despite your young age, have found wisdom and that you live your life accordingly. Please keep up the solo trips and maintain the quality work. If you from time to time would focus on the climatic changes which are bound to affect your life a lot more than mine, you would do your viewers - and maybe the planet as well - a big favor, and I for one would appreciate that a lot. I wish you all the best.
Both the Iceland and mont blanc trek videos had really outstanding thumbnails, whilst I think the Peru one doesn't pop out to the same degree. Thought it might be something worth considering when you're trying to reach as many people as possible. Love the content!
your content is 10/10 and I always looks forward to receiving a notification that you've uploaded something new! Can't wait for more videos! keep em comin!
man you are all over the place. Gaming and books and videos. I like it when people share a part of their life. Expance is awesome. I cant wait for the next season. Hopefully soon.
I cannot with that ad. I've never laughed so hard at my desk. Honestly dude, keep doing what you are doing. I cant wait to see what more you do this year and how you blow my mind with your cinematography and story telling.
Hey Kraig! Just wanted to say you’ve really inspired me with your tramping videos. They are so beautiful that now I am seriously committing myself to making videos as mesmerising as yours! Peace from New Zealand 🇳🇿 😇
Great job Kraig! You have inspired me to do what you are doing. I have been an avid hiker in Oregon and have been thinking about doing something like this for years. Anyway, thanks. I look forward to seeing more.
I found your channel when you filmed your Japan trip it looked so interesting I would love to go there one day I will anyways I will keep watching your video's and living vicariously through you thank you for sharing and congratulations on your success wish you more success within the new year
I came here from the Iceland video and I'm sooo glad I had it in my recommendations. Your channel is so great, I really enjoy the solo-hikes. Spain Video was also great. Really made me want to go to Picos de Europa. Have you ever done (or are considering to do) the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island? I did that one last year when I went to North America for the first time last year and it was just ridiculously beautiful! Merry Christmas from the Alps! Paul
I'm glad I found you first to set my subconscious standards for this genre. I don't even want to look up other hiking channels. To all your future creative endeavors, cheers!
For those people like me who have disabilities. It's content creators like Kraig here that help bridge the gap to help those who physically cannot experience this wilderness to get to witness a small sliver but much larger exposure compared to past general content on the internet. Thank you!!
as a creator, this is now my biggest reason why I need to step my game up
@@denisbelya3079 yes please. Some may see content online as "showing off" but when used as a tool. Those who cannot reach, can be given the gift to witness things that their disability or environment stops them having that choice.
I like the solo hike videos, but I'm also a big fan of life updates.
I feel like I get to know you personally
If you're just getting to know his channel from his recent videos, you should watch his older stuff. His personality really comes through from his minimalist vlogs and vids.
A “planning/how to plan/how you plan a hike“ video would be pretty great tbh
that peak design ad. the quintessence of all youtube sponsorships.
hold up just got to the second ad read. this one is just as good.
oh shoot the third one is the best.
No one hating on his broke ass
I'm glad you made the switch to hiking videos. I think that's why I came across your channel. Beautiful and inspiring videos. Keep up the awesome work!
I was one of those people that discovered you due to the Iceland video. I shared it with about a dozen people and I know that at least 2 of them also subscribed. I'm happy for your success. Keep up the great work.
The Iceland video was like a meditation, keep doing silent and with that music, I completely zoned into it and cleared my mind, and it also inspired me to just go for a walk at 5am

Been following your channel silently for the past year or so and just wanted to say that you are like the coolest... normal dude. I don't know how to put it other than to say you seem like a normal person that I would know IRL, but you do a lot of dope things involving film that I aspire to do.
I think it's worth noting that Death Stranding was about to release at the time and your video showed those vibes so the YT algorithm recommended your videos to those crowds. Just something I thought worth pointing out.
Sam Porter Bridges is in the house ;)
Good point. I also think people respond positively when he (kraig) puts out content that's personal and sincere. I've been subscribed for so long, wfs baby.
Been in and out as a subscriber for the past 2/3 years, dunno why. Yet this update felt so real and it’s visible how much you have grown as an individual. So inspiring Kraig. I wish you the best and maybe we can meet when you came to Portugal and hike Serra da Estrela, Gerês or Costa Vicentina. See you on next update.
Dang man. It sounds like your'e doing amazing. Super happy to see you finding yourself and continuing to explore. Congratulations on everything Kraig... and Peak Designs can suck it for not paying you.
Most Underrated content creator in youtube.
Your work is spectacular. Your ability to capture the grandeur of our planet is stunning. Your videos are my favorite, hands down. Thank you for what you do. It is wonderful to watch your footage it is heart opening, and beautiful.

Kraig You deserve WAY MORE subscribers!! I love your videos, u made me realize how important is to escape and enjoy the beautiful things in Nature and in Life. Thank you! Don't stop doing what u do best and never give up.
Really love that you do the guides as well. Can be really nice and useful to a lot of people.
Glad to hear your videos are blowing up! I found you via your Grand Canyon video. So good! I love how you tell the story with image alone and the minimalist soundtrack is perfect. Keep it up!

your videos are so chill... my goal is to live life like you, really enjoying the things you like and just... living, being happy, meeting friends and stuff
I'm still in highschool but I hope I still feel this way as an adult! keep up the good work bro :D
such a cool new chapter to see from you, Kraig! happy to see you still in NYC
PS I think it'd be cool if you spoke at REI after you finish the PCT! I've seen a few other thru-hikers do that
Always great to watch your updates. I still remember the first video I saw of a Japan trip, and I didn't know this channel would turn out to be one of my favorites of all time.
I absolutely love *_any_* video you make
Thank you for this life update, I really like that format too!
I wish you happy holidays and success in all your endeavors! I'm grateful for all the wonderful content you've created
Thank you Kraig
You deserve it! Incredible content you are making. Honestly thought provoking trips that we can all experience.
The first time I stumbled across one of your videos it was the Tour Du Mont Blanc, and there was something so mental about the silent hiking video with the spacious music and the scenery. It was so calming and relaxing. I've never seen anything like it before but wanted to see more. It was an amazing 180 twist from a usual vlog or click bait high speed video. The inspiration of minimalist hiking and the story telling was very moving or not saying a single word. Keep up the amazing work!
p.s. You have inspired me into traveling minimalist and on very small budgets that I never thought was possible!!!!!
I did my first hike at mount Pilatus Switzerland this summer (believe it or not wearing sandals, polo shirt, and shorts :p) I'm hooked into hiking and been researching gears and watching hiking videos ever since. I found your hike in Spain video by chance and loved it.
You did not ask like other UA-camrs but I already did it. Liked and subscribed!
Your videos remind me to slow down and keep things simple. They have influenced my actions a lot in the past year, in a positive way. Thank You!
Huaraz, Peru, is definitely the most underrated part of Peru, and one of the most beautiful regions. I also got terrible altitude sickness on Laguna 69 trek and had to turn around.

I subbed because of the Iceland hike. I also enjoyed your Tokyo video.
AZMarineSniper When he mentioned that I looked back and found i’ve been subbed since his A7SII review 3 years ago...shit made me feel old lol
Love all that you do man and much balance to come
Hey Kraig! Just watched the whole video, thanks for sharing. I gotta say that I feel very identified with your vision! I wish you the best in your slow path and hopefully we can meet along the way!
I appreciate how honest you are about UA-cam metrics and the thought process behind your content.

Keep that energy and enthusiasm for the solo travels. You are gorgeous
I really enjoy all your videos. That Iceland hike one though was simply epic, the cinematography and the landscapes were something else.
I love the direction you're taking the channel. I can't wait to see what the future brings. Happy New Year.
I love this update, its so fresh and candid. You talk about everything and anything!

Kraig, you are one of my favorite people. I decided to go back and watch this phase of your life.
You are a big inspiration Kraig! I left my job and I'm starting a long trip from South America next month and I'm going to hike like you alone and really do what I want to do.Keep going and good luck with everything!
Kraig, I just recently discovered your channel and am extremely impressed with the quality and content of your videos, amazing stuff! You've really inspired me to work on my cinematography and take it to a new level. I'm using a Sony and know it's capable of much better than I've been doing. I appreciate what you're doing, keep the hiking content coming!
I've been watching you for years Kraig and from the wedding school days :) I am so happy for you that things have changed for you for the best, you are so hard working and deserve so much more. Keep following your heart I am enjoying all you create, Merry Christmas 🙌👏👍✨
Found you because of the Picos video. Heading there next year to shoot and hike. Can’t wait - was so inspiring.
Anyways. Love your work Kraig. Keep it up 🚶🏼♂️
Merry Christmas to you Kraig. Good to see your video. I forwarded some of your videos to younger friends from school. Happy new year.
This is a comment from a 70 year old guy: Thank you for giving us some insight into how you operate and how you generate funds for your trips. Due so a myriad of things, your life is so different from mine when I was your age. It thrills me that you, despite your young age, have found wisdom and that you live your life accordingly. Please keep up the solo trips and maintain the quality work. If you from time to time would focus on the climatic changes which are bound to affect your life a lot more than mine, you would do your viewers - and maybe the planet as well - a big favor, and I for one would appreciate that a lot. I wish you all the best.
Both the Iceland and mont blanc trek videos had really outstanding thumbnails, whilst I think the Peru one doesn't pop out to the same degree. Thought it might be something worth considering when you're trying to reach as many people as possible.
Love the content!
Iceland vid brought me here and I'm not leaving. You got me stoked on hiking again!
You’re the realest and most conscious person I’ve seen on UA-cam. So much respect. I’m here for the long haul.
As a hiker myself, I know how hard it is to do what you do--filming your hikes. I really enjoy your content!
Good to see you happy, Kraig.
So glad these updates are still happening! Keep creating.
your content is 10/10 and I always looks forward to receiving a notification that you've uploaded something new! Can't wait for more videos! keep em comin!
I wish I can be like you, creating things like you do. You and your channel has been a really huge inspiration for me.
Cooool. Thanks for sharing. I watched all your videos, every minute of it. So excited for your next trip!
thanks for this update! can't wait for the next videos! I love them, they feel like an escape from reality
I first found you from the Rim to Rim video and I've been binge watching and subbed ever since!
Hey Parker, :))))) awesome content isn't it!
man you are all over the place. Gaming and books and videos. I like it when people share a part of their life. Expance is awesome. I cant wait for the next season. Hopefully soon.
I cannot with that ad. I've never laughed so hard at my desk. Honestly dude, keep doing what you are doing. I cant wait to see what more you do this year and how you blow my mind with your cinematography and story telling.
Hey Kraig! Just wanted to say you’ve really inspired me with your tramping videos. They are so beautiful that now I am seriously committing myself to making videos as mesmerising as yours! Peace from New Zealand 🇳🇿 😇
Since that 2M views video I subscribed in your channel because of the quality of your content, keep doing it!
Great job Kraig! You have inspired me to do what you are doing. I have been an avid hiker in Oregon and have been thinking about doing something like this for years. Anyway, thanks. I look forward to seeing more.
I found your channel when you filmed your Japan trip it looked so interesting I would love to go there one day I will anyways I will keep watching your video's and living vicariously through you thank you for sharing and congratulations on your success wish you more success within the new year
I came here from the Iceland video and I'm sooo glad I had it in my recommendations. Your channel is so great, I really enjoy the solo-hikes.
Spain Video was also great. Really made me want to go to Picos de Europa.
Have you ever done (or are considering to do) the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island? I did that one last year when I went to North America for the first time last year and it was just ridiculously beautiful!
Merry Christmas from the Alps!

Your hiking videos are so cinematic! love it!
Sounds like you are really growing man. Love what you've been working on and i can't wait to see more.
My family actually liked your earlier videos too, very meme and fun. Just do whatever you want and be happy
I'm glad I found you first to set my subconscious standards for this genre. I don't even want to look up other hiking channels. To all your future creative endeavors, cheers!
So happy for you, dude.
Dig the humbleness my friend. You’ve been a huge inspiration to my work, hope all is well and happy holidays!
