During late august of 2021 i went on a journey that would change my life forever. It was my first ever solo trip as well as my first overnight wild camping experience. I spent 2 weeks hiking through the Alps of Switzerland, going up and down every day, swimming in freezing waters and setting up my tent in the most surreal locations i could ever imagine, in total covering more than 100 miles. Safe to say that this trip meant a lot to me and i can't wait to hit the trail again.
When it came to editing this video it was no easy task especially when you have 7 hours of footage, the first 2 weeks i spent just thinking which clip to put first in the timeline, i knew what kind of a video i wanted and i did a lot of planning but despite that it still felt like a black piece of paper, now almost 1 and a half months later i'm finally happy with it and i'm super stoked to show it to your here on youtube, any feedback wether positive or negative will be greatly appreciated and if you could share this video amongst your friends and followers it would mean the world to me.
if you have any questions about the film, the shooting or editing process, or my hiking experience feel free to ask in the comments which i will cover in an upcoming behind the scenes video

Let us celebrate our 🔥FIRST MILLION🔥 together, I actually never thought that we'll get here, especially with a short film and not a "best settings for a7sIII" video 😂 Thank You to everyone who's been supporting us, our projects and our journey. It means the world to us! PEACE OUT and have an amazing day everybody 💪🏽😎
congrats
This film deserves more than 1Mio. views!
So beautiful!
I also have been to many places you have shown in your film. Everything you talk about, the feelings and the emotions are said on point!
I would like to connect with you and talk more about your experiences. 😊
Just awesome!
Thank you for the Film!
It took less than 35 seconds for me to hit subscribe. I totally relate, fine work and editing.

I don’t know how many have noticed that almost all clips are hard cuts and no special effects. Also, almost all are recorded on a tripod. No gimbal. The narration and the scenes felt interwoven. Amazing work on all aspects. 👌🏻
Simple cuts just feels so natural ease to eyes.
Exactly! And they feels pretty straight forward, so natural and not distractions. Loved it.
For me it was a bit boring. nice clips and naration, but clips are so slow for me, and i really like effect and hyperlapse.
@@IZrduw blehhhhh
Nice analyses
I'm leaving my comment here, so whenever someone like my comment, I will be able to watch and listen this beautiful scenery and voice again and again.
07:26
"They will call you quiet because you're perfectly happy in silence. They will call you weak because you avoid conflict and drama. They will call you boring for not being an extrovert. They will call you wrong for having different beliefs. They will call you a loner because you're comfortable being on your own. They will call you lost for not following the same route as others... Let them call you what they want, you don't have to play the part they want you to play."
Probably the best part of the video. Those that mind, don't matter & those who matter don't mind.
I love this sentence，it is great ！
but people are quiet when they need to speak up when there is a wrong situation going on, people are weak when the situation demand you to be strong in the name of equality and justice, people are boring and unimaginative when expose to new possibilities. People want to be alone because they cannot take the pressure of being responsible to someone other than themselves. People take the wrong path just to prove a point rooted in faulty ideologic.
@@dutchmilk not being responsible for anyone is a very great thing why would I wanna be responsible for other human being when I can enjoy life by myself . Marriage is bullshit
@@dutchmilkbut what if most of the situations in the person's life don't need for them to be not alone, to be strong, to be not boring, to be extroverted etc, but they're still expected/forced to just because of social norms and stereotypes? It isn't always escapism. So one could respond by saying: if there isn't a need and still you're forced to do this, then you've made a mess of your own life and given away your freedom. - So that is why we claim what is ours back and get going alone. Getting rid of the mess. Get creative in our own ways, as our own situations demand. Not the creativity that's pre-determined to be in a box by others.
I'm 57 years old, and lately I feel like I have no purpose. Every week for months on end, I watch this video for inspiration on how to produce my own, and every time your video changes my whole perspective! Thanks for what you did here, it is my medicine.
Jesus
Thank yous film describes my feeling to a "T"
Make your own exploration happen. It can be anywhere.
Do what you love as long as you dont harm or hurt people or yourself. Thats your purpose. To love is the purpose on Earth, my brother.
That was absolutely incredible! Breathtaking work!
Я с твоего Инстаграма привалил сюда, чтобы посмотреть, и правда что то невероятное
Thanks, Alina! Happy to see you here! :)
ALINA is Breathtaking and the film too. :D
We must make our inner self like this
Let us look at our own nature outside and let people see us and forget all their sorrows😇
So much incredible technique working, so little to say. Oh wait, It's a commercial - ok, sb will buy it. The problem with todays young storytellers is; they have all the equipment in their hands - but are totally confused about what's making stories really is: expression of the emotions ppl experience when they see, the single, the individual story is just a not a single thing, it's about all of us; that's the core of
the old saying: there is no better way to beginn a story than: Once upon a time, there was.... Truth is, you will be judged for your blabla... This world of telling is on an horrible downward spirale, where ppl. can't discern anymore the easiest things concerning the meanings of their lifeless overaesthetically blown up artworks...
Poetry, nature, philosophy, life lessons, photography, nature, art , comfort all in 1 place
This color grading was insanely beautiful! That is a master piece, congrats brother!!!
I don't see any color grading at all. Seems like all clips are natural. May be just a bit of slow mo in some parts... 😊
For the first time in a very long time I was drawn into a video, I didn’t want it to end. A true masterpiece
exactly that.
More people need to see films like this! Excellent work brother! 🙌🏼
I hope they see it, thanks bro
Так, більше таких відео пробуджують до життя ) дякую автору
This is not just 8 min or so, this is a work of art that took months. Nicely Done Bro.
" Ironically I feel more comfortable here than back in the city because even a bad day of hiking is a day you will remember" Hits hard
One of the best short films I've ever come across, it really just flowed right through my heart and soul, it's an absolutley amazing piece of art.
That was what i wanted to achieve while making this, thank You!
That's what you call simplitcity at its best. No fancy transitions, not much camera movements but man, all I can see is it was so engaging and so moving that I wanna go on another solo trip and film something like this. People might not know but it takes a lot to film yourself at such higher altitudes as you're already tired physically and mentally that it makes you wanna give up and also makes you end on a creative block because of all the fatigue. But kudos to you man that you managed to keep up with everything and create so much beautifully composed shots.
Wow! Beautiful shots, simple yet powerful edit and such a strong message. I'm happy that this gem popped up on my feed! Well done!
felt it. such a vibe and yes, they have called me more than mentioned. but we still out here. keep going legend
You got a 'vibe' from watching a video? Knob!
Same bro
Hi, guys!! So Sorry for not replying to any comments for the last month. Our channel got hacked and we got it back only today. We still need to have some discussions with CZcams, but I am glad all of you enjoyed this massive project we had been working on for a while! Quite sad that it blew up just as we got hacked! :D We will try to answer as many questions as we can now!
Would you guys be interested in a video: OUR FAVORITE LENSES?
Ooooh sorry we glad your back now
Great work here you guys! Would love to know the story behind the shoots, location and gears used.
Sorry about you channel being hacked!
Yes please
Did you shoot these video yourself or do you have any companions??
The visuals, the commentary, the absolute devotion to tell an amazing story. Thank you for putting this into the world for all of us to see!
I have never seen a youtuber with this kind of cinematography skills 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🫡🫡🫡
"Hey Tim - The Story of my Life." You're welcome ;) Otherwise the guy is really talented :)
you guys have to see Cars with Luke!
I totally agree! This is beautiful and quite humbling! 🥰😍☺
We love to be alone, but we're not really alone.... This short film and comment section proves it. Made my soul smile! Beautiful job!!
" Even a bad day of hiking is a day you will remember." Love that. goes to show what happens when we open up our perspective of being in the moment, instead of finding things to pass the time. The reason that those certain activities we find to pass the time, is because we are choosing to disconnect. Not always a bad thing, but how much more powerful is the message that this video shows, that being; instead of choosing to disconnect we are choosing to .. connect. Excellent work. Thanks for the message.
This channel is so underrated! Beautiful film!
This video just simply got you speechless, all the walking back and forth to record and fetch the camera and what's more the shots are just so beautiful with waiting for the perfect lighting and shadow situation
One of the best and most gorgeous outdoor videos I have ever seen. Beautiful editing. So peaceful and majestic. Does stir memories of hikes I have taken. Great job bringing this together.
Every single frame is absolutely stunning in all its levels, can't imagine how all this shooted alone
Agree, this was amazing! Giving me a lot of inspiration for my videos! ☺️
Sony should reach out you themselves! This deserves to be part of their showcase series! Absolutely, breathtaking, WOW! Like I can’t get over how amazing this was, simply no words to describe this video! UNREAL :)
I agree! This is breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Absolutely! This is too Awesome man ! 💖
Wow! The detailing and quality of this short film could not be expressed in words. Real treasure is hidden here.
J'aimerais bien le rencontrerai un jour .
this video made me understand that there are people in this world who share the same mindset as me! far from chaos, spending life in the lap of Nature enjoying your own company! and about the video - the narration and the shots are 😍
I agree. Was able to tent ⛺ camp 🏕 109 nites last year😁!!
He's definitely telling the story of many, and why we choose to live this way.
Love it!
Glad You enjoyed it Mate!
This resonates with me so much. I aspire to make more moving films like this someday. Speaks not only volumes but waves of action to live free 🔥🏔
So happy to hear that, thank you!
你那视频太乱了
"...even a bad day of hiking is a day you'll remember." That hit hard. Knowing that routine 'can' mean the loss of meaning since we remember sameness less...appreciate this film - thank you!
Amazing storytelling brought to life with incredible cinematography and a perfectly matched soundtrack! Well done!!
the dynamic range of A7S3 and your grading are at an other level, absolutely love it! wanna hear more about it in the BTS
I've watched this video more than 10 times, and I always say the same thing: the mood and atmosphere are just perfect!!! I love it! I'm looking forward to the beautiful spring and summer days to climb these mountains and trails! Congrats on the time invested in this video.
This short is amazing. Specially first 45 seconds, that sound effect, base and video transformation, kinda epic editing. Great WORK.
Finally i can say i have watched a story i have always wanted to watch. Being a filmmaker i feel a little jealousy that i was not the maker but this is an inspiration, this is definition... This is everything life is.
Absolutely gorgeous. The color, the angles, the narrative, sounds, all of it was great - well done!
This captures basically every aspect of why I fell in love with hiking and being on the trail!
Awesome work!
Thank you. This movie is outstanding on so many levels. The footage, the editing and the color grading all work together to capture the viewers attention so the message can both be heard and felt as each scene unfolds. Well done. On a personal note I grew up in the analog era well before the internet came along and I never felt my childhood suffered from the lack of connectivity we have today, but after watching this video I can say it would have been nice knowing there were others like me out there. I spent most of my youth exploring the woods, rivers and streams near my home because it gave me a freedom and comfort I couldn’t find anywhere else. Cheers!
6:57 These lines are gold.
This is absolutely gorgeous, the shots, the sounds. Everything just fits so beautifully together. I'm speechless.
Well done! Not only brilliant cinematography, but a message that resonates with anyone who understands the power of just being!
Awesome! As an avid hiker I can attest to everything said. When I am out adventuring in the mountains, this freedom I imagine is what birds feel every day. This is very well done, beautiful, calming, and put me right there. Well done!
I doubt that you get the criticism and judgmental comments he refers to. Hiking is the most popular sport in the U.S. with around 881,000 new hikers in 2022 for a total 59.6 million. That is almost one in four Americans adult who identify themselves as a "hiker". And there are 51.4 million campers.
It's one of the best shorts I've ever seen! I congratulate you for doing what you did and also for sharing those beautiful words. There are people lost in this world, living lives that don't belong to them. They should break the structure in which they live and realize that they have a world to discover, and this video can show them that.
Thanks for sharing your amazing work.
Nature never fails to astound me. What a gift to be on Planet Earth!
This was an amazing journey, the cinematography was outstanding. you're a great storyteller and I appreciate this content during these crazy times. You've reminded me that I need to get back to the mountains. Time to get my tent out! thank you brother
What a masterpiece, keep going. I am Ali from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
no words man, my eyes teared up.. you nailed it.., the cinematography, sound engineering, storytelling, colour grading, the way you shoot yourself, the editing, everything. it takes a lot of effort doing these things on your own. And yes all of this effort to create this masterpiece paid off. You inspired the hell outta me. I was having doubts whether to consider photography and cinematography as career option, or should i even invest in a camera, i will for sure now. Again, Thank you for creating this masterpiece👏👏🔥.....
this is incredible, truly inspiring and so very humbling. sound design was on point, and the narration to; definitely told a story that so many of us can resonate with - well done !
Wow! This is one of the best short films I’ve watched this year, from the visuals, sound design, composition and the way you created all this emotion through your voice combined with the music was truely amazing!
Exceptional. Extremely well done, every facet. From lighting, composition, to sound and cinematic shots. Wonderful work.
W o w! This literally felt like my usual daily thoughts, every single thing you've said in this video... I'm a bit surprised to finally have stumbled upon someone who could exactly say each thing that I relate to word for word. Truly amazing work, and the views are just so breathtaking too.
This is a masterpiece man! I love your images, composition, colorgrading, it would be nice to know which lens you used, picture profile, settings used etc, thanks and keep up the good work!
Absolutely stunning! You perfectly explain how I feel in this film, and why I love spending time alone in nature!
I really am mesmerized by your work of art.. Yeah I mean it's absolutely breathtaking. And it just feels so close to heart.. You are really winning in life mate !!
What a beautiful film! Fantastic scenery! Wish I could be there enjoying that silence. Thank you for making such a lovely film and posting it!
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video...it explains perfectly who I am...nature is my therapy....thank you for this
I'm so glad that i've come across this!!
The story, lines, those Beauuutiful shots!! 😍
Dude, this is a gem. Amazingly done!
Sound design, over the top! 💯
Loved it. ❤️👌🏻
Impressively beautiful shots... with your story❗️🌞👏👏😍🌹
Breathtakingly beautiful and so well done! Thanks for taking us on your journey.
I had goosebumps watching this. Literally felt that I was there. I didn't know that I needed this. No extra effects, just pure nature and its stillnes. The stillness and the calm in this video was so contagious. I feel nothing else but inspired to be this away from the world or I should say this close to the WORLD.
Bro words can't even describe how good this whole film was! Your storytelling skills, both visually and vocally are bloody amazing! Did you film it all by yourself with a tripod or got help from someone?
I have watched this more than a 100 times, still watching it. This ones a masterpiece!!
Very nice footage and editing. Being Swiss and having spent time in this gorgeous environment off the beaten track I can very much relate to what you are putting across. Keep it up mate.
Beautifully shot , and definitely something I can relate too . Lived and worked in NYC for over 35 years , and the stress level was through the roof sometimes . getting out in nature was therapy , a healing of sorts .
It's absolutely mindblowing. Everything was just right. I can hardly imagine how much time and effort that took and those shots with the sun right over the ridge and in the right spot ah
You have no idea how much I can relate to these words.. The scenery is impeccable... Loved the shots and the perspective.
This man is truly incredible ......
This is beautiful 🙏🏼 Storytelling and shots are just on point! Great job! And I fully agree with this mentality, everyone needs a break like this every now and then. I’ve just done the same 2 months ago. A memorable solo trip.
“Fascination with spending time alone”, I love that and I can relate. Beautiful film and edit, great job!
first line of video is gem, it touched my heart
Perfect, stunningly rendered in picture and sound! Thank you, this is my world too.
Very well thought out, executed, graded and filled with beautiful wisdom in an unexpected way. Was a pleasant surprise to come across this channel. Well done!
Image, music, sound design, story.... Everything fits together perfectly!! Awesome work! Hats off man :) Best regards from Poland!
This film with no music and ambient sound only would have adhered to its title greatly. No earphone for the character would have signified his appreciation of the Silence. Let's not to forget that all the creation happen in Silence ! Great work on videography and editing,
Wow! I so much Love this! 🤍🤍💯💯 Thank you for releasing this!
This is one of its kind work. Truly mesmerizing! That narration at end got me hooked. ❤️
Holy shit! This is incredible. The storytelling, scripting, cinematography, colour tone, everything is just exceptional. Keep up the great work, man. Cheers!
So captivating. The color. The vision. The story. Beautiful work!
I felt every frame of this film to my soul. It's beautifully shot and produced, and the message powerful. Thank you for sharing!
Loved every shot! Man, this is a masterpiece. You could easily make a wallpaper from 90% of this video. Great job!
10+ 10+ 10+
Это невероятно!
Спасибо за проделанную работу!
Не хватает слов, что-бы передать весь спектр эмоционального состояния!
I appreciate your words, photos, and drone footage. I got to experience a brief stint of this Sam kind of experience all over the US myself and nothing made me feel more alive, free, and content. I can't wait to jump back into it when I'm financially able to again. City life is no longer anything I crave. "I leave reason behind and leap into bewilderment." - Rumi
This is the kinda of coumentary every aspiring travel photographer needs to make, immense respect and u gained new subscriber, just awesome, every frame is designed with lots of dedication, passion, just mind blown, the serenity and the simplicity is truely some level
Fantastic camera work and awesome storyline!
I absolutely loved this! Thank you!
Gah dang the sound design here is flawless! Gives me chills
This was a beautiful masterpiece, the sights, the shots, the land and everything in between was just..pure. If there ever was a video that could show all that is inside someone who wants to be one with the beauty and complexity of nature and us as humans, this is that video! Very well done my friend, words aren’t enough, luckily the video says it all. 🏔️ ☀️ 💨 🌎
This struck so many chords at so many different levels with me. Great work.
Very well done! Composition, tone and editing was simple yet dramatic.
Amazing film! Exactly the level I want to be at one day, and totally resonate with your narration. Wow - incredible video!
Very nice short film ! The sound design, the colorgrading, the plans, the emotion, everything is very well done ! Congrats !!
Thanks, music, camera angle, colour grading, pace all are very epic.
"Let them call you what they want, you don't have to play the part they want you to play, create your own, and live."
It really needs to be spread more to show that people are not alone!
What an amazing short film!! You really took the viewer with you on your hike. Keep going ✌🏼
”Even a bad day of hiking, is a day you’ll remember”.🧡
Dude, I love this! Love the cinematography but also really enjoyed your storytelling man!
I feel like this video was made for me. I love nature. Being alone and not told what to do.
All the way from Canmore, Alberta deep in the heart of the Canadian Rockies and a filmmaker as well. Damn f...ing amazing job. I watched the whole thing, no skipping, no looking at another page opened on my computer but just enlarged it to be full screen to go along on the ride with you. Fantastic job all around. Wow. Shared it on my FB page.
What a freaking great video! 🤯🤯🤯Really great job!👏🏽👏🏽
Awesome, I grew up with the F3 then F4 and 500C, 500CM & an ELX so being able to capture and produce this is simply delightful! Well done.
