Keep making silent videos with q/a in the end it's the best.
@@kraigadams You talking about inspiration. Man, you are my role model.
amen to this
When he say "_____"
I felt that
I hiked the Tour De Mt Blanc at the age of 64, a week after the death of my sister.
At the time, I didn't realize how full of grief and burnt out I was, but the hike with good friends, brought me back to life.
I know these mountains quite well. They are visually magnificent and a good workout. 😀
I’m going through the most heartbreaking loss of my life right now and your videos are really helping me stay positive on what a beautiful world we live in that is out there waiting to be explored. I’ve lost someone in my life who I’ve endlessly explored all over the world with and your videos help me remember that I can still enjoy these experiences alone, too.
Hang on mate! This world is full of miseries. You need to carve beauty and happiness out of it.
keep faith，stay stronger,you are not alone.
no matter what happen,never ever ever ever lose faith,trust me,man ,keep fighting and never give up.
A movie The Way (2010) might be something you enjoy watching. Father flies overseas to do the dream hike of his son, who passed away.
@@capooleg Thanks! I'll check it out.
Hey Kraig, I don't know how often you go through these comments, of if you read them much at all, but I just wanted to say I hope you never get tired of making these videos. You're a funny guy and all and your vlog videos are awesome - but these videos with barely any diologue, beautiful music and amazing video work are some of the most truly theraputic things I've ever seen, and the recaps at the end are really interesting, informative and very easy to absorb. Please keep up the amazing work, keep petting animals across the planet and keep sharing your incredible work. All the best from Toronto.
Strongly agree. Great work
he lives the dreams. I'm not jealous, I envy a lot.
I am feeling the same!
BUT I
Watching this video makes me realize how beautiful our planet is, and how we should preserve it, amazing content.
You shouldn't need to watch a video my friend
Well said. It's a gift from Almighty. We should be grateful and respect it
@@asjadj.542 please respect people enough to not proselytize at every opportunity.
You may believe it, other people may not.
I don't think I know a more soothing filmmaker than you man, like I am emotionally at ease watching your work, and I feel like that's that's literally the hardest thing to do in a filmic medium -- kudos to finding a way to let the audience sit in the moments you capture and doing the best to capture your emotional feeling of "at ease" while you hike this incredible, breath-taking scenery.
I absolutely agree! No fancy smart-ass crazy editing! Just beautiful story driven shots with lovely music! Love it!
I couldn't agree more. You should check out Adventure Archives on youtube.
I did this trek a few years ago. Fantastic. Thanks for helping me relive it in this great summary.
Exactly
This guy is awesome, another guy I enjoy watching is Erik Normark who similarly makes wilderness and hiking videos. His videos are almost completely without talking and just nature sounds for audio. He treks in Northern Sweden. You should check him out, it's a relatively small channel.
Lovely. Happy you found something in my music. Thanks for the credit.
♥️🙏 Love the music 😊
Great music mate!!
Good work benjamin!
Beautiful 💯
I just did the Mont Blanc Tour, I didn't do it full, but a good part. I went alone. Your video made me very emotional. The pictures are wonderful. Congratulations for your work.
same here, have not done that trail though
@@damienbbb I'm Brazilian, I advise you to do the trekking, it is extraordinary. I intend to go back to complete it.
Hi! Planning on doing this tour myself! Did you wild camp it all or stay in camp sites? Cheers :)
@@thewelshnomad7094 I stayed at Refugios. You can organize your entire trip with the help of the official Tour website: www.autourdumontblanc.com/en/
@@thewelshnomad7094 I personally prefer to stay alone but in Italy you can camp up to 2500 meters
Whenever I am sick I watch this as a kind of ritual to help me feel better, it’s perfect
Goodbye Cliche travel videos ..... Welcome to the new age of travel filming. You are beast-man. Keep it up brother
@David Stunning Check this out, David. czcams.com/video/9WyZWvpZiB4/video.html
amen!!!
I essentially just spent 20+ minutes of my life watching a guy walk, eat, drink, sleep, followed by talking towards the latter half of the video.
Best time spent this week so far 😁
Your videos are *therapeutic* …❤❤❤ Your videos give hope that world is beautiful…❤❤❤
I love the silent parts, just the picture, the rest is left to my imagination. Enjoyed It
as a Swiss, local Guy;
a) bring cash, we don't accept CC every where (it's complicated I know :-)).
b) If it is forbidden to camp, use a tarp it is not considered a tent/camp, or at least you can discuss it.
c) if you want to camp, don't do it next to a "refuge, Hütte, Alp, rifugio etc." keep your distance
d) enjoy your hike, your stay and take your time to visit those countries.
e) find your spot, don't go where everybody already has been.
f) AND MOST IMPORTANT look out for the small things right next to you, They are as beautiful as any other place on earth.
thanks
Can I sleep in the nature in my tent If I visit Switserland? i mean in the high hills and mountains? and how is the weather there in the winter?
Do you also know places where I can take a shower and go to the bathroom
@@walid3207 very late answer and I can't give you a clear answer since it depends on what part of switzerland you are in (even down to what town you are in sometimes) but wild camping is legal if you're above the tree line, otherwise you'd need to check the local rules.
Love that place no smoke, no cars, no loud noises, no buildings, just the calm air and the green mountains. ❤
To be clear, a significant percentage of the trail is on paved/dirt roads going through towns and villages. But, yes, the vast majority of the hike is high up in the mountains far removed from any signs of civilization.
I love how there are nature, nice & tasty food, architecture/buildings, calming music, ANIMALS. I watch this to deal with my anxiety & forget about the stuff that is going on in my real life right now (i'm going to have a surgery & it's stressing me out). This also kinda inspires me. Thank you for these videos.
Today, im in FRANCE with you...Thank you ever so much Kraig! With you in my Armchair travel..take care always, love and greetings from the Philippines.
Wonderful, so glad the CZcams algorithm showed me your beautiful video 🙏
I am from Hong Kong and the current unrest and our fight for freedom has put me in a depressed state. Somehow, there's something about your video that is just so calming, thank you.
9:32 the minimalist backpacker difference lol
When you find sneakers that you are so comfortable with, to hike Du Mt Blanc with, you made all the right life choices ;)
@@kraigadams That is precisely why I'm building out and moving into my van.
Nope, its money vs no money, he buys all his food
Well, on the one hand he has expensive (good!) gear, which is lighter. Plus, @Kraig Adams knows what is and isn't necessary (except for the water filter). Still, it's impressive - given that he is carrying a Drone + Remote + 2 batteries + Camera + tripod.
In respect to the other people, here in the UK we say "Too much gear, no idea". (In british accent it rhymes - geeah - ideeah)
Sometimes people stay in huts and have buy their food as opposed to camping and cooking, though. As well as not having the money for the lighter/less bulky gear :P
This is the best of the internet. Even a decade or so ago, it would have taken a film crew. Now...one true hearted soul, a camera and the ability to upload to you tube draws us into journeys most of us couldn't normally imagine. The wilderness still exists for those of us that look outward.
When I’m feeling helpless or depressed, i just come here to listen to the nature. Thank you kraig for making this tranquil video. Life is pretty much hard already
never give up sister.. Allah is always with us, greetings from a muslim hiker in Amsterdam
Walid Mohmand thank you walid for your advice ✨ yes indeed He is with us always
Najihah Razak try to do dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and dont isolate yourself too much because shaytan can affect your positive thoughts. Try to visit the mosque as much as you can.
Walid Mohmand yes sir I’m trying my best to heal myself. Thank you for your advices ✨
Jom kinabalu but kraig adams style ?
Every shot is like a desktop wallpaper. Truly stunning!
I can tell confirm that this was not the result of fancy editing, filters and digital enhancement. The footage actually looks like the real deal.
Digging the silent solo backpacking films man, keep up the good work
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this, Beautifully filmed and put together. Thank you for sharing.
the best method of worship....remain silent...only seeing and hearing the whispers of nature.
the best video!!! A lot of aplause.
These videos are staggering. It's truly remarkable how you can capture such idyllic serenity and document your adventure in such a therapeutic manner. I feel so refreshed and at peace after each one. Thanks for these Kraig, keep them coming!
I find it so admirable that you complete these great treks solo. It's really a testament to how comfortable you are with yourself and the level of security you have.
Finally, a travel/hiking video where the main subject is the trek and nature themselves and not the hiker talking more than half of the time with intrusive edm background music!! Such a relief to find your channel keep up the good work
That shot of the deer was so elegant and well filmed, basically sums up your videos... AMAZING
youtube notif : Kraig Adams uploded a video
me : *picks up laptop*
*turns off lights*
*turns quality to 4k*
AAHHHHHHHHHH
Yess! Amazing video as always Kraig. I'm a huge fan of yours and have been watching your videos for many months. I finally got motivated to make my own hiking video inspired by you. Would mean a lot if everyone could check it out and Subscribe to me small channel :) Thanks!
czcams.com/video/fMCJ33bh17s/video.html
Man, I feel rejuvenated after watching your work. Just what I was looking for in a world full of noise. Subscribed.
your videos make me cry. its so beautiful. i live in the city so your videos are my getaway. i want to live like this. taking your own pace and time
Your videos are just perfect, Thank you!
Hey Kraig, I found your channel a couple years back. I just want to say watching you grow as a person, especially as of late is pretty amazing dude. Seems like you're really finding yourself and perfecting your craft. Keep going, we love this content.
Yes finally!! Seriously look forward to these films so much man there’s no one else on CZcams that even comes close 🔥
This is so enchanting!!! I love it so much! Thank you!!! ❤️🙏😍
Wow. Pure greatness. Thank you for this channel.
Wonderful nature. Very spectacular hikking with excellent landscape. I felt like I was there. You're great. Thank you so much for sharing.
I actually thoroughly enjoyed watching your video Kraig, it's so pleasant and relaxing! 😁🙌
Thank you for creating these videos Kraig, I. love watching the calm and inspiring shot and takes you make. Keep on hiking man!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work 🏞️.
incredible bro !-- just epic- thank yo for taking us along on your journey.)
Breathing and taking in all that you can experience hiking in the beautiful
mountains
Que espectacular son tus vídeos , gracias !
Kraig. These videos get better and better. You're super inspiring and I'm loving the Q+A's especially. I've always camped and hiked but never alone and really excited to plan my own trip. Can't wait for more good stuff from you! Keep it up.
Hey man, found your channel through this video the other week and I've had an absolute blast watching all your other videos. One of my absolute favourite youtube channels and it's very inspiring also. Both relaxing and up-lifting to watch and weirdly just what I needed as I've been in a bit of a slump lately and it's made me reconsider a lot of things, especially career wise! Keep doing what you want as it's so good and refreshing to watch. Hope all is well!
love how many still shots you have. really feel like thats what makes your videos feel so peaceful, plus the lack of talking or intense music. You let the environment speak for itself
Once again your videos delight the sense of wonder at the beauty which surrounds us. So often we cant do what you do, but it brings me great pleasure to join you in the hike in spirit and awe. Thank you Kraig.
so beautiful, that experience when you took a seat on the windy grass.. priceless..
Thank you a lot! With your video i get an incredible relax. Really, thanks.
This is one of the most beautiful and peaceful films I've seen. The shots are amazing, the music is perfect. You've captured the spirit so well. Amazing.
Wow, thank you for making this video Kraig, the way you captured nature is so vivid and breath taking I felt like I was there with you. So awesome.
I've been watching your videos for a few months now, and this is still hands down my favorite. The music in particular matches perfectly with the shots and ambient noise. It really captures the serenity and peace of hiking.
Very cool - Mont Blanc and surrounding areas are stunning, I can see myself retiring there. Really enjoyed the video and look forward to your next one. 👍
Such a beautiful part of the world. I remember hiking in those mountains as a kid :)
I love the constant theme of you pulling away with the drone across your videos! Does a really great job of framing not only the location but the magnificence of the places!
WOW! Thank you.
He showed the trails and then explained everything at the end. Helps a lot to plan my hike.
Absolutely fascinated by the art that hides behind the editing of this beautiful, relaxing video! I mean it's an art to create that kind of slow video for 9 minutes and not make it boring. You definitely made it! Great job, thanks :)
I didn't know I needed this. Thanks for taking us along.
Thinking of doing it next year. I am worried about the number of people especially if I stay in some of the huts. I’m not the most sociable person .so it may tarnish my trip .🙈
the way you take shots of film with interactions, scenery, then your own commentary all put on top of the perfect music is fantastic. You for the first time made me think that traveling abroad is something I could do and this may be the inspiration for me to do it. Thank you Kraig! Keep up the great work
very nice. I love the music which sings along with the isolation. Thank you so much
Epic videos, they really deserve more views than they get. Every time I watch one of your videos I feel relaxed and at awe at the stellar places you go and your skills as a film maker. Keep it up brother!
i think it's the first time ever i've watched a traveller video without skipping any second of it.. like the beauty of it all just amaze me.. not just the view, but you man, especially your ability and intention to make this beautiful art work is just amazing and beautifully done.. best traveller vid so far..
You're truly an artist with a keen eye for beauty. Incredible
Wow! Thank you for doing this. Lovely video.
Thank you!!!❤️
I’m from Russia and there are no such beautiful and harmonic videos on Russian CZcams. Thank you very-very much...
Hey Kraig!!! Your video made my week and weekend. The HONSTRANDIR was so damn awesome. Thanks dude!
This one is my favourite video of yours. Man you are doing really good job. Thank you. Keep on...
Absolutely stunning video. It really captures the sense of wholeness that walking the TMB brings to one‘s soul. You brought back so many memories - thank you.
I hope in future recaps to see this and the amazing people you meet on trail. One of the best things about trekking is the fleeting but meaningful relationships you build while constantly running into people throughout the miles. It makes the experience that much more special.
I was waiting for this so much. You truly became my source of inspiration for my CZcams Channel. Thank you
Same dude!
You must be really comfortable with being alone. I feel like I'm always around people and it's exhausting. This video rejuvenated me. Thank you.
Edit: Your film making is incredible.
Feel the same man, thought I was an extrovert my whole life but people just exhaust me.
facts i hate ppl too
I absolutely love your videos, and enjoyed this peek into the Tour du Mont Blanc! You always inspire me to think of and plan out new adventures. Looking forward to the next one!
Very soothing and nice view. Thank you!!!
I've always been infatuated with hiking, but that love seems to dissipate once I get lost in the hubbub of everyday life. You're videos inspire to visit places I probably would've overlooked all my life. Visiting metropolitan locations can be great too, but there's nothing that quite supersedes these experiences. I'm excited to one day get my own chance to visit, and I'll make sure to cherish it.
I love your videos they help with my anxiety. What a beautiful place! Maybe one day I can see it for myself :)
Man, you have an amazing content! Love all aspects of it.. from the music, film making, actual hike experience.. all of it! I also appreciate the details of the trip as well as the equipments used.
Keep it up, man! Stay safe!
Man!! You're such an inspiration!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Between this, your Bali, and your Hornstrandir (your magnum opus to date) videos, you're fast becoming my favorite travel/hike vlogger. Continue with the beautiful orchestral, ambient, minimalist choices and jaw-dropping cinematography.
This falls in the genre of hardcore nature porn.
69 likes. Nice :D

I hate the word” porn.” Ok. Just so you know.
@Chris Pheros loVe Chris...it's a travel video. Heliosign tried to describe it as he/she saw it...why do you feel the need to analyse it....Let it go already. Jeez.....
@Chris Pheros loVe he meant the modern version which is esentually something you Jack off to the slang term nature porn is a word to describe beatiful enviroments which i hate
I remember hiking TMB when I was 10 with my family... all those long years ago, and all the memories it brings back... it's like reliving the experience again. :) Thank you so much for this.
I really think you're on to something here, we've watched this and a few of your other videos (This being my favorite) before bed and it's just an amazing way to wind down. It's beautiful, Serene, you can take a moment to think to yourself and just feel your stress melt out of your body before sleep. I hope you'll do more of these.
It is like walking in paradise, I am speechless
I usually never comment on youtube videos, but I’m feeling very inclined to comment on this one. The video is full of beautiful shots and music - creates a very peaceful feeling and shows everyone just how beautiful nature is.
What a fantastic video...so well done on so many levels. thank you for sharing your tour. all the best KA.
i cannot explain how much peace your videos give me. they are so peaceful. so satisfying. these videos have made me very happy when it’s really hard to be. thank you, thank you, thank you for your content.

🚫 A spare set of clothes on a 120 mile hike
POO
Because he was solo :)))
I was distracted from the gorgeous scenery by Kraig's footwear. Mountain trail in sneakers (they don't even seem to be trail runners)? That's dangerous (unless TMB is so easy you can do it in sneakers). I did parts of Via Alpina this summer in trail runners and regretted choosing them over boots more than once, especially in the rain and on descents.
Wait ~200 km in 5 days, that means ~40 km a day?!!! That´s just more then aggressive, that´s insane!
Good work and great shots.
peace
Didn't roman legionairies march 100 kilometers a day or week
Yeah check out UTMB. I think they complete the loop in 21 hrs😅
It is a lot when you're beginner but I, as a fat guy, went from 15 km a day being tiring in spring of 2020 to doing 35 km in a day and still being fine to do the same next day in half a year of training. Our body is made for walking. It adapts fast to that. The rest is in your head.
I know there are insane people who trail-run long distances, but to the common man 40 km, with a lot of elevation, is a lot... especially when you do it for 5 days in a row.
Cheers
You really captured the beauty of the hike in a way I haven’t seen in most other videos. Really brought me back.
Seriously, never stop creating. These videos are exquisite! Watching your videos makes for an entirely visceral experience; it’s personal and beautiful.
Just in time for my solo hiking adventure in Switzerland 👏
The Life Created am considering TMB for solo hiking but could there be a safety issue there?
4:17 damn kraig those legs 🔥
There is a feeling that I get in the mountains. I thought I could only feel it again by going there - but you have proven otherwise. Just watching this has brought it all back. You captured it like no other film I have seen. Amazing
So happy I found this channel!! This video is amazing. Relaxing, stunning views, great intermittent shots of yourself, loved the food glimpses and music. Thank you, I’m inspired!
YO DUDE KEEP MAKING THESE VIDEOS, I WILL WATCH ALL YOUR VIDEOS DUDE
11:27 the most relaxing sound ever. 😏
Breathtaking, and amazing and peacefull video as well, keep it up i cant wait to see your next video
