Man would I love to see a process video where you show every aspect of your process from filming, including settings, to editing, to anything else that it takes to make these fabulous videos. You're ahead of your peers in the quality of these types of videos. Thanks for the inspiration
I want to echo what TheSshadow7 said, You have some amazing quality videos and I aspiring to start making my own and would love to see more of the method!
I've been watching a lot of backpacking videos since the fall 2016 to keep my sanity and I've got to say you've got some of the best stuff on the internet. Thanks.
"And want my footage to match real life as much as possible" You just earned a subscriber. The over-editing, hyper-real, creative-warping of natural beauty is my biggest grip about our outdoor community. Keep it real. Homie. (Now how about a video explaining how you afford all this dope ass gear AND have time to wander. lol!)
Ive watched some of ur uploads, great shots and quality, this is really interesting, great that you've shared ur kit. thanks. looking forward to more stuff
in southeast asia it is common to put this to clothing to identify which batch it belongs to when washing it. since washer owners do quite differing batches.
Thanks for sharing this I've been thinking a lot about the type of camera gear I want to take on my next few hikes but the 5D is too damn bulky...maybe it's time for a switch x
Thanks …. such a enjoyable channel. I especially appreciate your sharing the gear breakdown of the evolving treks; they offer us novices a can do comparative to duplicate your minimalist hikes. Again, thank you.
Jacob Snow we already did the hike bro!! The vlog is on my Channel! We are doing it again this year. November 10th 4:30am meeting at the San Clemente pier. 60 miles in one day
Thanks for the video! I was definitely hoping that you would make one of these. I'd be very interested in seeing your rendition of a mobile-only hiking film!
I envy your minimal setup man. I'm an over packer and over preparer when it comes to my hiking trips! Need to take a page out of your book and ditch some of the non essentials.
@@meg6205 granola bars + protein powder + butter would be a powerful meal combo i might try this tbh tho i kind of want to ditch my stove too, maybe just take canned fish for protein, granola bars or oats and soak them in water with some brown sugar, and then for fat just eat the olive oil in the fish cans or butter my granola bars or bring some candied nuts*
I aspire to be next level hiker you my dude. And your gear is goals. Watching you hike and camp Grand Teton, that gave me a small adrenaline rush just watching you accomplish that. You the man, you got a follow from me!
Freaking Awesome Man! Gonna order a Sun Hoodie now from Amazon too. I’m also not into over complicating things with luts & color grading. It just makes things difficult for no reason. I’m subscribed now & very happy to have found your channel. Keep up the good work
"I take pictures with default profile".. You just blew my mind, I am considering purchasing a camera but all the stuff photographers talk about when it comes to cameras are just too advanced right now, so it's great to hear someone say straight up that he doesn't use them, that means there is hope for me as well! :D
Very interersting! I'm using the PD-Clip too on my hikes and I'm very happy about it, besides the one-sided weight load. Nordisk makes good and light tents with a small pack size - Telemark models (just in case). I like how you store your tripod! Thanks for your great work, Kraig! Greetings from switzerland
Very informative video! I’m currently living in Cleveland but planning on buying property in Montana to live off the grid. I figure hitting the hiking trails in the meantime will be a great way to get my weekly doses of vitamin-nature. Thanks for sharing it helped a lot!
Thanks for sharing these videos, and your personal reflections. I really enjoy them both for relaxing and learning more about hiking. I'm amazed that you can get away with a 40L backpack for multi day hikes even with all that camera equipment. I went on a short 1 night hike in a nearby forest this week to test my equipment and get experience and used an old 30L backpack that I had and was forced to put tent, sleeping back and inflatable mat hanging outside. I'm going to get a bigger backpack, but seems even thou I'm trying to be lightweight that 40L would be too small. And that's even without extra stuff like camera, drone etc :-)
Seeing your setup makes me realize I bring a lot more when I go hiking lol also the Canon 6D isn't the lightest camera out there so I think that adds a lot to my weight but damn that ultra light gear you got is impressive. They should make a small drone battery charging battery pack I run into the same problem just hoping I have enough batteries with me. Great video! Also I've been thinking about doing the same thing with the new iPhone that ultra-wide lens is impressive.
This was excellent. I really dig seeing folks who use the gear that THEY want to use instead of the gear that "everyone' uses. It's refreshing to see a gear list where each item isn't the most expensive thing out there. I can see all of the ultralight weight weenies heads exploding when you show that you use a 3lb tent. Perfect.
Good solid kit. You can definitely save some space and weight with a shelter like a ZPacks Duplex, but of course that is a serious investment. On the budget end the Lanshan 2 from Aliexpress or Amazon is a very solid shelter for less than $150 and 3lbs. Save some more space and weight and use a 650-750ml titanium pot and a smaller stove like the Soto Amicus. No matter what gear you have though, getting out there is the most important step. Keep hiking Kraig, your videos are true inspiration.
I noticed in newer videos you have the Nemo tent. Me and my Wife have a Nemo Losi 3 person tent we use. It’s amazing! Also a big fan of Uniqlo for there tendency to include two internal pockets on all their jackets
The Nemo Hornet is pretty sweet weighing around 1lb 14 oz! If need be, you can sleep 2 people but it would be a tight squeeze. My only gripe is the tent fly got pretty soaked when I was in Alaska during a downpour so some water dripped through. After that I improved its waterproof durability with KIWI Camp Dry Spray... It's so small and light so it definitely would help you cut weight and save space.
Oh shit I love that you can charge that Sony straight from a ext battery. Maybe something you could add to this kit would be a light solar panel if you ever are running low on batteries. I want to step up my film making game on the mountains so this video really helps. Just doing the camera/lens/mic research :)
Excelente equipo Kraig...una selección basada en tu experiencia que es siempre el mejor método. Minimalismo no exento de la búsqueda del mejor rendimiento. Felicidades y saludos desde Madrid/España.
Here's a pillow tip: I've tried all sorts of pillows, from inflated to compressed. But they never really solved the two biggest trail issues: Sleeping comfortably, and reducing weight. Ironically, sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. Stuff your sleeping bag's compress bag with your down jacket or sweater. Cover it with your neck warmer to make sure the pillow's pleasant to the skin. The result is the last pillow you'll ever use on the trail :)
@@skiidzman 1. tortillas. compact, light and full of carbs 2. tuna in a bag (avoid tins) 3. dried sausage 4. hard cheese. I like it 5. clif bars (or similar) 6. I always carry 3-4 bags of freeze-dried food for dinner (like Mountain House). I pour the hot water directly in them from my small (700ml) kettle so it helps in saving space, weight, and cleaning time.
Thanks for the pillow tip. I have tried many pillows too. The problem with inflated is it feels like my head is resting on a round balloon. It's like my body is using energy to keep my head still.
I have those paria trekking poles. theyre about 2 years old. the baskets broke fairly quick and just last week the button got stuck in. a drop of oil fixed that. so far theyre not a bad trekking pole
