    We really hit the lottery to be able to live and explore here. Took me a bit to find this on the map, talk about remote! I think most people really can’t begin to comprehend how vast the island really is.
    The colour and detail on some of these drone shots is some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen
    Congratulations on the insane route finding and climbing. And on the film to go with it! Imagine this on IMAX!

    • @themooseontheloose
      @themooseontheloose Před 19 dny +1

      Well done, its buried deep out there but there are enough landmarks to find it. Being a privatly built trail and serious backcountry stuff after the initial first up I'm not broadcasting where it's at. I know if I just put it on all trails people would probably end up dead or worse trying to climb those walls. Imax haha I've only seen it on my 27" monitor.

    Your film is incredible. Turn off the sound and still mic drop, incredible. You’ve got such an artistic skill. Beautiful.
    I was holding my breath, literally. I long to hike these mountains, and you guys are so inspiring, yet with your vulnerability, it becomes a tangible, relatable, horrible yet beautiful story that you lead us on.
    Brilliant filmography - do NOT let hackers and “followers” beat you down. Do not let a monopolized corporation be the despair to your soul. Nor let one wayward person tear you down.
    You’ve got skillz and life …. And you are reigniting life in those of us who watch these epic adventures…. And this imo is the best thus far!

    Also…..
    Coming off watching the latest season of north shore rescue (and talking to a couple guys I know) it would actually be really cool to see a film of NSR analyze this film age with their commentary and advice, or even just for you to interview. I bet one of them would, in regards to hikes in general. You give an excellent in-depth idea of just how much one can prepare and yet end up in dangerous circumstances regardless. Such extreme terrain…. You guys are stellar!

      I have since talked with Chris and Jane about it. They got across to the "Dragon Head mountain but were unable to summit. They made it to what they call "Reflection' which is before the last big tarn before the last climb to the summit. Someone did beat me to these summits and a few others i am still after.

    Excellent video, David👍... I've been hanging around Vancouver Island since 1980, on and off, hiked climbed explored and engineered all over the island..... And I'll be darned if I know where these three mountains are? Unless you mean the triple peaks.
    Speaking from the background of forest engineering, I can tell you Vancouver Island has some of the worst and highest concentrations of granitic "Cliff Bands".. very challenging

    • @themooseontheloose

      Hey Andy these are out by tofino. I didn't specifically show where it is on the map because this isnt a place for the average hiker to go test themselves out at. There is a large band of mountains that has never been logged east of tofino thats where this is at.

    Just found this channel from following MOTL channel. Wow what an adventure. Beautiful drone shots . Thanks for explaining all the aspects of it to us- the mental and physical. It doesn't matter that you didn't get there first, but that you did it. I am surprised that you released this as one video as opposed to a two part? Looking forward to more adventures.

    • @IdRatherBeHiking
      @IdRatherBeHiking  Před 10 dny

      I was testing out doing a longer video to see if that pops off in the YT algorthm. On MOTL the longer the videos I make the bigger chance they'll pop off into the 100k+ views of course based on the topic but youtube does love long videos. I have one more coming out soon that is 38 minutes. Going forward I'll try a bunch that are divided into mulitple 1 and 2 parts if its multi day. At the end of the day these videos don't make me much money. This one will make me $10 for 50 hours of work. Still chasing a dream with it, people watch foresty forest who is doing the same thing (120k+ views a video) so maybe one day I'll be valued as he is? I'm pairing down my camera gear to make it more fun for me, we'll see how long i keep making them.

    • @themooseontheloose
      @themooseontheloose Před 19 dny

      1 lbs on your feet feels like 5 lbs on your back, boots are better for tough terrian like rocks but the lighter the footwear the less wear it takes on ones muscles over a long day. That's why I wear trail runners. I'd wear boots for rock scree in alberta though.

      I didn't share specific details of where it is because I know some unprepared hikers would probably try it out and end up dead or worse. I do have the gpx track for more hardcore people to follow as part of my "wilderness adventurer" tier on my patreon which is linked in the description as a way to generate a bit more revenue as these videos take a ton of work and essentially make me less than $5 each upload.

    • @IdRatherBeHiking
      @IdRatherBeHiking  Před 19 dny

      we don't put trail tape down, so we just follow our track we created but on big walls it doesn't help you becuase the gps isn't accurate enough. Often we are creating new routes close to where we were to get back. Sometimes you'll push through a bush but going back the branches are pointed at you not allowing easy access. One that that really helps is my framed shots solidfy my knowledge of where to go. I remember where I setup my tripod so that usually helps a lot.
