- This is potentially my favorite hiking-related video I've made. This trip up to Rachel Lake in the Cascade Mountains didn't start off looking too promising but ended up being an overwhelmingly incredible time. This is hike is probably tied with Lake Ingalls as my favorite hike of all time and I'm stoked that I'm able to bring y'all along on the adventure today.
All my photos are developed and scanned by Speedy ePhoto in Tacoma, Wa.

To me personally this is my favorite video you’ve put out yet, the narration is perfect, the shots, the struggle, and what your trying to teach is on point. I like how you focus on the experience instead of being bogged down by technicals of film photography. It’s like a pure neutral
Dude thank you! Appreciate that immensely. Definitely trying to focus more on experiences than technicality.
Man, that was a pleasure to watch... thanks for bringing us along. You're setting the bar so high with these vlogs that I don't know how you're gonna outdo yourself next haha 😄
Haha thank you dude 🤘🏻
Mate your photography and cinematography levels are incredible. That shot at 12.47 and the waterfall are beautiful. Keep doing what you're doing Brae, you keep on getting better!
Thank you dude 🙏🏻
I can’t say enough how much I love your videos. Every aspect of them and your photography. You’re such a talented guy. Keep it up. I truly enjoy your work.
Thank you so much Aly! Means a lot 🙏🏻
Brae is now a certified rugged outdoorsman film photographer!!
🤠
solo trips hit different
They really do
This was like a short film, I loved your reflection at the end - that what you do is not always easy but worth it in the end!
Thanks Rachel! Glad you enjoyed 🙏🏻
21th Century Adventurer!!!
🤠
It's agreat time when you are still young! Make the most of time! Never wait for one day, saying, wish I'd done that! I did all I could. Sure no backpacking.. Using that camera/lens wonderous! Bravo!
Each video comes along, an every time am blown away by the pure professionalism and story telling by yourself. Another belter mate, thoroughly enjoyable!
Thanks Bradley!
Love the message of the video seeing this shows me I need to spend more time in nature and enjoy the little things of life.
It's very important indeed!
The wild brings you face to face with yourself for sure. Excellent work, cheers.
Indeed it does. Thank you!
I came here for the film photography, I stayed for the hikes.
Thanks for sharing this with us Brae!
Thank you man 🙏🏻
Bro... the whole dump thing just suddenly made you real! Don't ever change, you've found your style, the videos have become amazing (and even making me a bit jealous). Keep it up man, love the photography and the scenery! :)
Haha thank you dude. Appreciate it 👊
They are called Dust Devils… I absolutely enjoyed this video. I concur with everybody else here that says this was one of your best. Than you for your beautiful pictures and for sharing a wonderful outlook on life, especially in these trying times.
Ah thanks so much! Appreciate that 🙏🏻
What, no cliff jump at 13:51? You've gone soft Hunziker! As always what a truly beautiful documentary of your adventure. You sure did live in a pretty part of the world. Thanks for bringing it to us all with such grace and style.
Haha oh shit you caught me... Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed sir. Always appreciate the support 🤘🏻
Appreciate u going out and doing all ur b-rolls. All those shots are amazing!
Thank you!
Amazing video. Every time you upload its immediately full screen, sat down with a cuppa tea to enjoy. Keep up the great work, man!
Love it, that's exactly how I hope people are watching 😆
Always a joy to watch.
Appreciate it Nick!
Okay but for some reason I was expecting a legit tornado and was shocked even more when you panned to a dust devil. 😂
Also you’re looking at absolutely Pentax 67’d in the body department. Yoked.
Loved those night shots tho. Photo and video.
Lmao dust devil definitely seems like a more appropriate name for that thing 🥴
This video was a banger all around! So glad you decided to stay through unideal conditions because those moody shots in the middle of the video were some of my favorites!
Thanks bro! Yeah the morning fog was providing the goods :)
another great video man! this is by far my favorite video!
Thank you ❤️
Your videos are always a joy to watch, amazing videography, music and photos
Thanks Phoebe!
Watching it again. Soundtrack is 👌🏼
Glad you enjoyed!
Fantastic video! Not only the photography but also the video quality is outright stunning!
Thanks Jonathan!
Love this video dude, and think a lot of these shots are definitely up in your best landscape work so far.
Thanks so much!
Gotta be honest. Other than the humor and great pics, what I enjoy the most whenever I watch your videos. Is that I know I won't be getting a collection of lo-fi beats in the background.
Hahahah 😂 I try to spice it up
Man those are some great images from this trip! I'm a sucker for low hanging clouds in high country...you nailed it!
Thank you man!!
The way u frame urself in every shot and the B rolls is extraordinary brae i've enjoyed another sunday with your video on the big screen! All love from Brunei
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
i look forward to sundays because of you
Thank you 🥲
Dude, your content is fire, really. I love watching every single one of the videos.
Thank you man!
Another great video, maybe one of your best when it comes to the story / narration and lessons for yourself and to share that with us. Please keep up the work, i really enjoy your content!!
Thank you Thom! Glad you enjoyed
Fantastic video and awesome photography! Really enjoyed watching this, thank you
Thank you for watching :)
Not even a minute in and the twister already set the mood for the entire video. What a lad.
Haha gotta watch for them twisters!
Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 amazing! 😀
Keep it up 💪...
What a magnificent scenery 🥰
Thank you!
I went on this hike! I remember the last part of the trail up to the lake being pretty steep (didn’t help that it was dark and kind of rainy when we went there) but there were great views of the lake the next day, especially on that trail further up the mountain you went on. Loved seeing the trail again in your video!
Yeah man this trail is incredible. One of the best in Washington.
Gosh, I just love your videos!
Thanks Edson! :)
This is a Award Winning! dope! 🔥 16:28 is the best! Cause we forgot the important aspect of life.
Thank you so much!
This video gets me hype for my Yosemite trip next week. Keep up the great work man.
Enjoy dude!
I love your work man… Awesome as always.
Thanks 👊🏻
Just so damn good, Brae! Your stuff keeps getting better. It's a joy to be able to check in and watch these videos every little bit. That toilet bit was too funny though haha. Also, way too many good photos to pick a favorite!
Thanks Drew! Really appreciate it sir.
Your photography resonates with me in that it stems from exploration. I don't have quite the same scenery and back country but I can still relate. I combine my cycling and my photography into one super hobby. My bike takes me to places I would never otherwise go and my camera documents the things along the way.
So rad, love it. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!
Such a great video. Awesome.
Thanks Gary!
Reallt enjoyed this video and great images as always!
Thank you!
Been watching your channel for a while, only noticed now i wasnt subscribed yet. This video is your best yet. Very relatable with the struggles of hiking solo and good photography as well. Keep it up
Thanks so much. Really appreciate the support!
Great video and awesome camera work! Like the way you included the self challenged moment as well. It told a story. Good stuff! You got a sub!👍
Thank you kindly!
Absolutely stunning work. Just what I needed today, thank you man.
Thanks David 💪🏻
I’m very glad I watched this on my TV. The waterfall image is insanely beautiful, I’m jealous hahaha. Well done!
Thank you dude!!
I won’t front, I teared up a bit after watching that last bit after you saying “being out in the back country is what brings out the most primitive side of yourself” and how it’s simply just living when your out alone in the wilderness. This is the reason why I love the great outdoors because I can simply just live. I’m gonna look back on this video many times over my man. Absolutely amazing work on this one!!!
Oh man thanks so much for the kind words. There's no feeling like being out there alone. It is overwhelming and calming at the same time. I feel fortunate I am able to experience it as much as I do. Cheers!
5min in and this is such a good video already!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Amazing as usual
Thanks Michele!
Its truly incredible to see how your videos and photos have progressed, happy to have been along for the ride!
Happy to have you dude and can’t thank you enough for all the kind words along the way 🙏🏻
This is spectacular! Your videos never cease to amaze me!!!
Thanks Jake!
Ansel would love you. Loved this video and the realness to it. Keep grinding Brae.
The greatest compliment I have received. Thank you sir 🥲
Dude, this video was IT!! You are so good at these videos, everything from the amazing photos, to the filming, music, the reflections and so on! Keep killing it Brae! 🙌🏻
Thanks Benjamin!
Amazing video Brae, I really enjoyed this one
Thanks :)
You've been my life biggest inspiration for a year now
Love your photography and philosophy - your shortmovie at the end really moved me !
Oh wow, I’m honored! Thank you for the kind words!
Great film, man. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Steven!
This is one of your best, to date. My goodness, every shot required so much skill and patience to capture. I almost cried at the end.
Ah man, thank you Tyler!
Everything about this was on point. The videography, the photography, the narration and editing. What a great film. Thanks so much for creating this.
Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed!!
Absolutely right about the mountains! They teach incredible things about ourselves. I so level with you! Live for the mountains myself!
Yes sir!
That long exposure at 9:56 is pretty cool
Thanks Joe!
Amazing Video. It is awesome to See These beautiful landscapes. Thanks for Sharing your work.
Thanks for watching!
This has got to be one of my favourite videos you’ve ever done man! Cinematography on point, some unbelievable photos and the reflection at the end was a really nice touch. Keep living dude, big love from Australia!
Thank you so much! Means a lot!
I'm speechless dude, it is like watching a movie! Great work Brae! 🏞 🌅 🌄🤘🏽
Thank you sir 🙏🏻
This was so damn good for the soul. Beautiful cinematography, words and photography- accompanied by a spectacular presentation. Bravo brother 😊👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Vincent!
Sick video!! So inspiring!
Thanks glad you enjoyed!
Great video with beautiful pictures. Thank you for all your work. Your videos are really professional.
Thanks for watching!
Yup its Sunday, and just in the nic-of-time Brae makes good with a video. So I'm kicking back with a coffee, and just immersing myself into the images being presented to me. Brea I gotta say this is some very beautiful country your hiking in, and the photos are warm and intimate landscapes that just make me feel like I should head for the hills myself. I think the 165mm f2.8 might have been right at home up here. Wonderful as always, and that shot of you on the log sipping your tea was killer at 12:51, so thank you. Cheers.
Ah thank you bro. Appreciate that. Can’t beat a trip up to the mountains. Have been really wanting to bring a longer lens up with me too. 165 might be the move.
Really enjoyed that one Brae. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Aston!
The place, cinematic and film shots, this is so stunning. This is going to be on my list of "feel-good" youtube videos. Kudos!
Appreciate that Jerwin!
Great video plus the music choice ❤️
Thank you :)
Fantastic vid! And I’m not just saying it. Wow!
Thank you!
Man's just plain enjoying himself and getting great shots.

Thank you! Cheers!
Damn dude! This video is soo good!
The landscape, the photos, the message at the end and the overall vibe … I absolutely love it. :)
Thanks Paul!

Appreciate it dude 🤘🏻
I think this may be my fave video of yours! the music and photographs 🔥
Thanks so much 🙏🏻
I actually almost cried.
Amazing stuff sir!
Thank you!
Incredible production, Brae! Beautiful. One shot that was so striking and memorable for me - I had to go back and find it - is the very short video clip of you in front of the misting waterfall at 4:45. Wow… just wow. I’m so glad that you’re finding yourself making this kind of work again this year. 🙏✌️🍻
Thank you Bob! Love that shot as well. Even tho it resulted in a soaking wet camera and lens lol. Hoping to get a few more trips in this year 🤘🏻
Beautiful work my dude!
Thanks Matty!
Very nice vid again Brea keep going
Thanks Davis!
I’m from Hong Kong and I go camping and shoot film too. I think your video has excellent cinematography and your film photos are sooo good. Hope I can shoot some film photos in this place one day🤗 great video!
Thanks Dixon!
Loved the hyke dump, here in brazil things are a little bit more savage
Oh god I can imagine haha
Hands down the most inspiring video I've seen
Jeez what a compliment! Thank you!
As a fellow CZcamsr I really appreciate this video! Is so well put together. The music, the 4K forrest scenes and the amazing editing!

Just found your channel, awesome video. Love the shots... the storyline. So good 👍
Thanks Kyle!
Brae's face with sunscreen not fully applied made me so happy for no reason. Loved the MLU shot of the falls. Keep on making content like this pretty plz.
Hahah I didn't even realize it was the type that sticks to your face so I had a good laugh when I started taking a glance at the footage
Brae you are a beast!
12:05 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you!
Bro.. you are motivating me super hard over here to do this.
Let’s go!!
Your video pacing is always on point! I don’t think most people realize just how much time and planning is involved in making a video like this. Well done!
Thank you very much!
Great freaking video.
Thank you!
Enjoyed it!
