Join me as I dive deeper into my passion for exploring the stunning alpine areas of Vancouver Island. Kings Peak, Vancouver Island's Magnificent Alpine. In this video, I’ll take you on a journey from a recent hike up 5040 Peak with my good friends Jon Grall and Brian Barnham to a new challenge-King’s Peak in Strathcona Provincial Park.
The hike up 5040 Peak was an unforgettable adventure, filled with breathtaking views and incredible photo opportunities. It was such a successful trip that it inspired me to take on an even bigger challenge: conquering King’s Peak. Strathcona Provincial Park, Vancouver Island's oldest provincial park, is a wild and rugged landscape, and King’s Peak didn’t disappoint. The steep trails and rocky terrain tested my limits, but the sense of accomplishment and the spectacular views from the summit made it all worthwhile.
I spent two nights camping just below the summit under a sky full of stars, capturing some amazing photos and videos along the way. For this trip, I packed light with my Fujifilm X-S20 camera, a 55-200mm lens, and a 16-80mm lens for flexibility. I also brought along two light tripods, my Osmo 3 for video work, and a small drone with one battery for some potentially stunning aerial footage. It was the perfect setup for this alpine adventure.
Come along as I share the highs and lows of this challenging hike and the incredible rewards that come with pushing yourself in nature. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit that notification bell for more adventures like this. See you in the next video!

This video reinforces to me what I already knew; I follow you closely because of the way you see your environment and how you capture it. From the cadence of your story telling to your subtle processing, you are a great inspiration to me. I honestly don’t care what you share, but I will say this type of solo adventure is exactly where photography fits into my own life and you do it amazingly well and it really gets my juices flowing. You’re honest, transparent and very relatable and the drone work and photos were absolutely beautiful. And on top of all of it, I saw a side a Vancouver Island I’ve never seen before. Fantastic work my man!

@@QuietLightPhoto Couldn’t agree more with the above comments, and what an absolutely stunning place for an adventure. Well worth staying out for that 2nd night as that cloud inversion was superb.

Spectacular images from the beautiful mountain peaks of V.I. ! Took my breath away, the magical mist enveloping around the majestic mountain valleys and crests. What a feat of photography and hiking combined! The drone video breathtaking!

@joyceyang6976 16 дней назад

Really enjoyed it Adam! It is stunning beautiful, the time lapse of the clouds, the drone footage of the landscape, the music and of course, your photography. Everything comes together perfectly, I’m just so touched, looking forward to more of your adventures in your channel 👍👏💕 But be safe, make sure you have water 😄

@marcstaples9930 15 дней назад

Adam, absolutely awesome. I fully agree that this new kind of RU-vid is a great addition to your "normal" photo videos and I look forward to seeing more of them. I loved the drone flight with you standing on the ridge alone, as if the world belongs to you at that moment.

@ronalderb9692 16 дней назад

@jon9834 13 дней назад

Thank you so much, Adam. We do not know each other but having followed you for many years I believe I can recognise an inspired photographer in you when you are on these kind of adventures. This is your kind of photography. And may I add that to me you are probably the one of the old F4 who does the best, most interesting B-roll so videos in this class you can surely keep making. Hope you will get many views and most of all - enjoy your time photographing in what looks like a beautiful country. Best, Jon

This was quite the beautiful video and great effort on all fronts! You managed to get great photos, and video, drone footage, timelapse all while slowly dying of mountain house 200 percent sodium dehydration. Glad you stuck around for that 3rd day to catch that undercast. Love these adventure videos.

@keithsandercock1412 13 дней назад

@QuietLightPhoto 13 дней назад

Superb video, and well done for making it up there with all that kit, you must have been working on the back exercises. Brilliant photo's and what a drone shot at the end, that really put you and the location in perspective. Keep these type of videos going please.

@thevalleywalker 14 дней назад

1800m of elevation with camera & camping gear - bravo Mr Gibbs. Great to see you back in the mountains again, I think when I 1st started watching the channel this felt like your regular environment. Stunning scenery and captured in your individual style. When you was doing your piece to camera at abt 7 mins (looking towards the peak) I was thinking how big VI must be - it always surprises me - my lad spent 10 days around there when he spent the winter of 2023 snowboarding in whistler & remarked how fab it was. The video & images, stunning as always. Day 3.. wow I was going to ask about watter as there looked to be no running streams in the environment. The image at 17:22 was all that you could have wished for I bet.. inversion, light n colour - fabulous. The piece de resistance though had to be that drone footage of you stood on the peak...wowser. Great watch Adam. atb Alan

@blivieriphoto 12 дней назад

Hell yeah you’re crazy! 🤪 But loved every minute of the video. 😉 Your adventures are fun escapes for most of us who’ll never see or experience anything like it. But then I also think all of your videos are mini adventures. Hope your future adventures take you into the woods once in a while though 🙏😊. Gorgeous images! 🎉

@andretim75 15 дней назад

Absolutely wonderful video about this hiking-trip. I enjoyed it a lot, the very good and fitting music as well as your narrative style and the moving pictures ( especially of the hike up there through the woods) and the great selection of photos and the way you came to the results as well by working with the raws. The little Fuji-kit seems really very capable indeed and light enough to hike up and down😂

Hi Adam. Defintely for the adventure style. Feels like you're getting back to some older style video which I always loved. The tutorial videos are a dime a dozen now. Adventure is more unique and shares the e perience of being out when viewer otherwise maybe can't be.
