Hiking 100 Miles Alone in Alaska 

Obviously Kraig is lying when he says he hiked 100 miles by himself in Alaska. Who's taking these aerial shots of him in the beginning, eh? Didn't think of that, did you? Obviously Kraig has his pet bird accompanying him to take all these different camera angles. Fact-check: FALSE. Myth busted.

@@miamimiami7415 omg calm down lol. Check the link in the description for his route. It’s right next to a major city where he probably flew in and there’s lodging on the route. The path is very well kept. It’s not really that far fetched that he did this lol.

Ever heard of drones?

Hy Kraig We are very impressed about you and your trips and your videos. Special about your american langue. May I ask where in the states you come from ? You set fire on us to plan the GRAND TETON LOOP in 2022. But may be with some more time. Kindly regards from Norway Michael

@kraig adams you should add this to this videos description too

not arguing, just a question, i understand the diagonal line but don't understand the walk sideways facing the flow. What is the logic, wouldn't this make you more prone to losing your balance and falling backwards?

@@soccerplayer2277 i assume that you can hold your balance easier cause you can lean against the flow. I personally use the diagonal line but many agencies recommend the sideways method.

@@bongieger7871 I see, thanks that makes sense. I guess you would want to lean forward a lot. I'd be very afraid to fall backwards so I think I'll stick to the diagonal.

@@soccerplayer2277 oh okay, what are you, daily river crosser?

@@gk77ful i go river fishing with waders sometimes, last thing you want is to fall in and your waders fill up with water

Many people don;t realise that's how B roll is done.... a lot of extra work.

stubones pretty sure people are smart enough to figure it out.

He even had to cross the river thrice 🤷‍♂️

@@AshudeepSingh mightve landed his drone and just flew it back but i thought that too

he was using his Drone and fly back to him

if it was shot with a drone he can just fly it back over

@@Will-tl5vx I think it was a digital camera on a tripod, the shot was way too steady for a drone. But that’s a clever idea when you’re shooting alone.

@@Will-tl5vx Would not be as nice with a Mavic Air 2

@@Stayhard481 he flew the drone over, landed it, crossed and got the drone back

I was thinking the same thing 😂

It cost money for all the things he has...like the pre made foods, the tent, the shoes, etc...They all need to be restocked Takes money..

hiking sounds fun but it’s risky, for me i just wish i have the paper so i could go anywhere and do anything i like as long as they’re not illegal, i always like adventuring, but for a 14 years old skinny nerd that live in a third world country, that’s sounds rather unrealistic, hell i don’t even have a computer to play more adventure games and my neighbor wifi keep losing connections, at least i can speak a second language, not that it’ll do any good

@@lord_khufu speaking a second language is a really good skill dude, you gotta find ways to apply it in your life whether it’d be traveling to where it’s spoken / watching media in that language / making friends online who speak it

Lol

@@ohcrapwhatsnext Takes a lot less money than rent, designer clothing, or going to hawaii. lol

Minus not having the snow over their head

@@noahlail4018 Of course.. up hill both ways in the snow!!

Same

If this is how they went to school, they were the luckiest

and I am called the lazy generation because I go to school using a motorbike

Wet rivers

I came here to say this not an easy crossing!

he used a drone ig this time

@@StephenAldaco It doesn't look too bad, no white water and not too deep.

OBEYTHEWALRUS G59 it’s a drone

Where at?

Peter Alvarez alaska

Im moving to Juneau, AK next year from Europe, can't wait!

Come to Malaysia

You're so lucky, my dream.

underrated comment

You didn't see kalam valley pakistan yet bro

@@azambukhari5882 You didn’t see switzerland yet

@@azambukhari5882 @Tewodros II just because one place is beautiful doesn’t mean the others are ugly

Its Raw and I Like It

Nature is the ego killer. In the best way.

Probably easier anyway, recording, editing dialogues is a pain in the butt lol Just one cam and off you go...

@@Nonpartisanmusic true lol

Absolutely! Like it must be🥰 the nature and your little self...

Hey Alex! I'm also planning on doing some solo hiking in Iceland. Which route did you do? Is it allowed to sleep wherever you want with your tent? How was the experience? Any tips and information would be really helpful, thanks!!

@Alexander NANCARROW Hey Alex from Australia! Being out with family is definitely wonderful, but there's this magic of being alone in the middle of nowhere that just can't be explained in words:) My dream is to travel the world visiting awesome mountains (I have also done Camino Frances 800Km in solo. Well, this is more like a flat trail). Keep me updated on your journey Alexander. Who knows, we might end up on the same mountain. Cheers!

@@galopolo1114 Hey Galo! You are making the best choice by choosing Iceland. I did the Laugavegur hike 55Km. Depending on how long you are planning you can add one or two days to Laugavegur hike by continuing to Fimmvorduhals trail. I really wish I could have done both. The experience is life-changing I must say. It's tough, no doubt, but you are always surrounded by these mesmerizing views that will just push you to take another step. The rest is for you to figure it out! I don't want to spoil the surprise. You are not allowed to wild camp in Iceland. However, every 15km or so, you will find a campsite. (If you want my itinerary, I am glad to send it to you. Let me know.)

@@Alex-ti5xq That would be awesome! Thanks so much for the info. I would love if you could share with me your itinerary and campsites. You can send it to this email juangrillo777@gmail.com or through here, as you prefer. Thanks for your help! Its great to see similar people are also doing these things.

Hey Alex! It’s so cool that you were able to do that as a 17 yr old. I was wondering how you managed to book campsites/hostels/hotels as I know many in Europe set the minimum age at 18. Thanks!

That’s why I’m so adamant on living in the wilderness.. of course I want to be near civilization, but places like this are all I need and would ever want.

@Cassakis "A wilderness in contrast with those areas where man and his works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain."

Right. Like a very expensive camera and drones so that beautiful videos get shot

It's basically a day in the life of a rich kid.

@@ChicanoOne760 rich kids waste their time buying gucci and plain with shirts stamped with SUPREME. They don’t choose to go hiking in the forests and they definitely don’t make such wonderful videos.

@@alicia-hd2cs using your logic bezos and richard Branson have no business in outer space. All I'm saying is this guy has expensive gadgets.

@@ChicanoOne760 Yeah but it's not an average day in the life of rich kid. I doubt most rich kids do this.

In reality he or they only cross the river once...it's a team, he doesn't do it alone!

very good :) :)

🤣😂🤣👌🏻

🤣

Lmmfao!......

honestly right? wtf

C R I S P. A F.

Mmm

bro just got back from there like 2 months ago and that was the first thing i noticed

You two have been a great inspiration for me, Hannah and Kraig. Hope I can soon feel and deliver the same experience like you too do. ❤️

@3,14 _ you’ll have to pay for clean air. or have some sort of clean air subscription

or an extraverts worst nightmare

@@arthurvp1682 Lol. Exactly.

@@arthurvp1682 lol!

Yes! Thank you for not filling the video with unnecessary music or time-sucking intros.

LOL

And ufo sightings

🤣🤣🤣

Something moving across snow on the mountain a 19:09

@@nifflofair6685 Where exactly, because I don't see anything at 9:09. I do see an eagle lower left at 19:02-3 moving left to right and a white bird center at 19:07 moving right to left after the sun flash on the plane window.

For real and this is the only channel i would watch with the higest video ratio using my data.

I mean quality

ddue try fishermans life / philosphyD

For me it's hard to a watch a video until the end without passing forward multiple times. But his videos I feel that I can't miss anything, he's amazing

Except the fact that it was a solo trip

@@ishwar7881 wasn't tho there's another person

Yeah and they also end up on Missing 411. If you are going to hike alone you must must have a gun on you and a personal transponder locater beacon.

You shoulddd do that too, trust mee you'll enjoy and grateful how wonderful life would be

@@Armored11 shut up plz...with your imagination. Never in 700 miles in over 18month total AT time...never have I seen a reason for your fears.

@@Theo-dj7vs You are obviously not familiar with the Missing 411 cases. Perhaps, you should educate yourself a bit.

@@Armored11 So a few cases every year out of perhaps hundreds of thousands of hikers who hike every year? And perhaps millions of hikes done each year in the US? In all my 900 miles of hikes I've ever done in the backcountry, in remote places, never had a reason to worry. Perhaps you should do more hiking and less talking.

Feeling so sorry for women stuck@home with coviderakidz

and it was uphill in both directions

That is so nice to know about your parents old times. Indeed Kids and there parents those days were living there time in the nature being one with nature. with least exploitation on nature.

@@1megafactschannel516 lol what? boomers were the most destructive anti nature generation of all time. it's not like they were substance farmers. at least they weren't in america and western europe

yup plus 10 ft of snow

Oh BTW, I have severe back pain which prevents me from doing mundane things like Gardening which I love, that is ok as in this pandemic, even cancer patients are not getting treatment! Hence binge watching all these good videos that RU-vid recommends, :)

My biggest grip with social isolation is that there are MORE people hiking near population centre than before. I’m a misanthrope. Kraig’s videos are excellent as ever though.

But I wish I was him now

Yessss like Mateiro Urbano... Happy to be alone! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yibht9JNRVY.html

Yeah, exactly

KobeBryant ThanosStopper and that’s why we are all here watching kraig, cause we are introverts and enjoy isolation from others ahah

I hope your alright.

I hate cancer, with a passion

how ye doing sir?

@Alex C Besides the cancer you mean?

Stay strong dude. None of us know your situation or what your prognosis is, but I hope you live with dignity, intention, and meaning every day you have left on this planet, whether it be 70 days or 70 years. I also get inspired by these videos. Doing a 3-day backpacking trip in Utah with friends next weekend, but I’d like to do some solo trips.

Praneet Bhikhta could have been the drone taking the shot and then he flies it over?

@@nikos5566 why I felt it was camera because when he did that *haaaa* that audio was recorded from a distance and had it been the drone we'd be hearing the blades. Rest is for Kraig to answer.

@@bhikhta he coulda swapped out audio..

This shows, how much hardwork he puts in his videos.

I hope he just set up his drone somewhere and flew it over the river to him... Because that's really sketchy cold crossing to do twice...

When he swung the axe the first time it made me jump lmao. Wasn’t expecting it

Good Idea! 👍

Make sure you are manually selecting on your RU-vid page the highest resolution to view the video.👍 *I found out how to mirror it on my TV and put the audio through my surround sound system* I feel like a kid again sitting in front of the TV in awe and wonder.* 😂 These videos are down right therapeutic. *Take Care & Safe Travels!*

Watching it in RU-vid VR

People spread the virus. No people , no virus. Just you and nature

@Zac Exactly. Thank you!

@@ahauntinglybeautifulmelody Media spreads the virus much more... they love to fearmonger.

Your comment wins the internet today.

Me too.

Get out there and "make it happen". If you want it bad enough, you'll make it happen.

@@docholiday7758 cant do that when you're underage and only making minimum wage (me)

@@flagwashere When people say "make it happen", we don't necessarily mean "today". Anything worthwhile is worth working and saving for. You have many years ahead of you to "make it happen". I started out where you are.

@@flagwashere I had a friend who applied for a fishing job in Alaska when he was 16, they flew him up there and gave him a place to stay for the summer while he worked, and then explored on his free time. lotta opportunities out there start looking.

I'd agree. Nature hits different when you're alone.

Me also

lets hang fam all invited to hike and wander with me in costa rica come along : D

@@positronikiss I'm omw

Be careful what you wish for.

and no annoying intrusive music like edm

That calls for a drink at the Salty Dawg. Cheers! 😀

@@kraigadams Homer? Isn't that Seward at 1:23?

You are very lucky to live there.

@@MattShafter yeah that's definitely Seward. I live in Homer and the only mountains are across the bay.

@@nathanasimpson Was in Homer last May. My friends live there. Seriously considering Soldotna for summer time work as a Physical Therapist.

I like how there isn't narration.

AKA Chris Mccandless. Fool or folkhero? You decide.

Tak přece jen někdo sleduje Kraiga i od nás :-)

GeekBoy no ahoj kamarádi

Taky ho sleduju 😁

Oh my gosh, yes!

Wanna see me ford that river? Wanna see me do it again?

He have a drone so he don't have to go back to take it again.

No Three times

Drone doesn't record sound. So he probably did it twice, or maybe used external mic.

Haha

Dude I laughed out loud at this so fucking hard 😂😂

He left the camera there, on the other side.... for upcoming tourists.,,, ;)

He uses his drone to get his camera back.

The guy at 6:55 is probably traveling with him

To be fair, there aren't a lot of people there... So, that still counts, i suppose lol

@@windrincar I dont think you understood the joke.

Yes, and flee the anarchy

It's funny, I've done 5 day trip and an 8 day trip since lockdown, best decision ever.
