We Spent 2 Days Chasing the Solar Eclipse 2024 | FULL TOTALITY
Social media: linktr.ee/Jmendapara
When we heard that the path for totality was only 6 hours away from us, we knew we had to go. So instead of going there the day of the eclipse, we decided to make a little road trip out of it. The first day, we drove half way to Erie and went the Cherry Springs State Park at night to stargaze. And on the second day, we burned some stuff in the camp fire. The actual totality was amazing. Seeing totality is a very different experience than seeing a partial eclipse in my opinion. If you get a chance to see totality, I would highly recommend taking the time to go see it!

If you would like to buy the images, please visit: linktr.ee/jmendapara As someone who loves landscape photography and nature, I had to check out Utah. I’d heard a lot of great things about the national parks there. So, one day, my friend (Arush) and I decided to book a flight and do a road trip around the beautiful state. We started our road trip in Salt Lake City, visited the 5 national parks...
You Won't Believe What I Saw in Guatemala (Acatenango, Lake Atitlàn, Indian Nose)
มุมมอง 2Kปีที่แล้ว
A couple years ago, I saw a video of Volcán de Fuego erupting and thought to myself how cool it would be to see something like that in person. After doing some research, I saw that the hike was a pretty common excursion for people backpacking around Guatemala. Although the volcano hike was my main reason to go to Guatemala, I quickly realized that the country had so much more to offer. Througho...
An Amazing Weekend in Catskills, New York (Kaaterskill Falls, Twin Mountain, Diamond Notch Falls)
มุมมอง 1.6Kปีที่แล้ว
One weekend, my friend and I went to the Catskill Mountains. This endless forest has many different places to explore and is relatively close to New York City. In the summer, it’s great for hiking and even taking a dip in some of the swimming holes around the mountains. Kaaterskill Falls is really popular and is definitely something you should check out if you’re planning on going to the Catski...

On our 10-day adventure, we visited some of Kenya’s favorite attractions and had close encounters with many beautiful animals (lions, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, and many more). If you like nature photography, animals, landscapes, or just relaxing under th...
First
I really loved enjoyed your pictures. I really enjoy your songs. Me and my wife were thinking of going down there. We’re trying to find out the right month to go. I am going to climb the volcano fire, but I yes if you can send me the names of the songs and what you think the right month to go thank you very much. My name is Alberto.
Hey Alberto! Thanks for watching. All of the songs are listed in the description of the video if you scroll down more! I went to Guatemala in January and that was a GREAT time to go in my opinion.
both part 1 and 2 was so so so wholesome!! indeed one of the most entertaining tmb videos ever. just curious, how did you manage to display your taken route in 3d as a little video that pops up whenever you explain your route for the day? is it an app that you used to record your trek?
Hey Deen! Thanks a lot for watching. Lol yea my friends are clowns lol. I also saw you subscribed. thanks, really appreciate it :) I’m sure a lot of people have the same question lol it’s a website called fatmap. It’s are really helpful in planning out routes imo and also create a really cool walk-through animation too!
it s look like hell tons of farangs ; sky is grey that s mean a poor air quality and the price are scams; what did u do here bro ?
Lololol had to look up what farangs are. Pretty accurate. Next time I’ll hit you up :)
@Jmendapara what is the goal to go in thoose lass tourist area , they build hotel on beach and build more and more shop, did you really don t care about it , samui , phphi phuket look like he'll now
lot of talent to make this video and a lotta talent IN the video
Very good, candid relaxed disposition capturing essences of life on tour. Always got time for your work, thank you again.
Thanks for watching man!
you and your friends seem like a very cool bunch just having a great time!
Don’t hype them up too much lol thanks man appreciate it! Thanks for watching :)
Wow, this is maybe the best video I've seen about Guatemala. The edit, the music, the information...are simply wow! I'm traveling there next weekend, and this is super helpful. Greetings from Mexico!
Hey Alejandra! Thanks for much for taking the time to watch to the video! That’s so exciting! I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun in Guatemala. I will be posting more videos like this in the future so definitely subscribe if you want to stay updated :) let me know if you have any questions about Guatemala and enjoy your trip!
Great video! Just curious to know if you saw giraffes and zebras at the Masai Mara? And also, could you please tell the name of the lodge where you stayed at the Mara? And the name of the driving company please. I’m starting to plan a trip there. Thanks
Hey Carolina! Glad you liked the video! We went with a company called Mario tours. The lodge was called Mara Serena Safari Lodge. And yes we saw every animal you can think of in the Mara LOL. I wouldn’t worry about seeing animals lol that definitely won’t be a problem. Hope you have a lot of fun there!
I really appreciate the information. Thank you!
Your video content is great but your video is not reaching more people. Because of your video optimization need to be improved. If you want, I will help you as the channel grows and video views increase.
Great video! My daughter (24), me, her mom, (64) will be hiking in Sept 2024, so with each video I learn something new about the terrain. It would have been fun hiking with you three guys, you all looked to be having a great time and just going with the flow. Thank you for taking us along.
Thanks so much for watching! That’s so exciting you’re also going. I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun on the trail! Haha yea we get along pretty well. Safe travels friend!
🐘😚Elephant are absolutely adorable... especially when they are babies! 🥰Loved seeing your journey!👍Many fond memories of Thailand! 😘Thanks for sharing, wish you having fun and gain all the happiness and safety always.💕
Hey! Yea that was definitely one of the coolest parts of the trip. Thanks for watching :)
Great video 👍
Thanks Matthew!
very good camera.
Thank you!
I wasn’t sure what to expect when you started the hike having never used hiking poles. Great videos - some routes and huts I have not seen others stop at.
Haha yea it was our first long distance hike so hadn’t needed poles before. Thanks for watching :) yea we tried to do the smugglers path which was really cool!
Super crisp video after I realized I should turn up the quality on the video :)
Thanks buddy. Yea gotta watch it to the fullest 🤪
Welcome.😊❤
Thank you! Loved visiting Thailand for the first time!
Great playlist!!
Thanks Charles!
I've watched at least 100 of these TMB videos. GF and I were most entertained by all 3 of you. Thanks, great time.
Wow! That means a lot thank you so much. I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
Excellent video!!
Thanks Mikhaila! You need to add thailand to ur bucket list!
Hey very crispy video! Hope to see some pad kee mau in part two!!
Ayoooo u alreayyy knowww
top tier videography with top tier humor 👏👏👏
Thanks urvi :)
very aesthetically pleasing video, Mr. Mendapara! i greatly appreciated the humorous commentary and your jolly attitude throughout the video. looking forward to the next film!
Thanks for the great company on this business trip Mr. Arush
Been waiting for this part 2! Another great video. BTW what are you using to strap your camera to your shoulder strap?
Hey! Thanks for watching :) So for this trip, I literally just tied a piece of string to create a loop on my camera and attached it to a carabiner on my backpack lol. But I just got a peak design clip for my sony a7 and it works like a charm! I use it a lot in my new Thailand video that I just posted (u can see it attached to my backpack) so definitely check it out if you wanna see it in action!
Beautiful video. Great photography and music. Did you see many "free" rhinos at Ol Pejeta? It should be a lot there, but did not see them in your video, apart from the 2 last white rhinos in their enclosure. What do you thing about the night safari in Ol Pejeta? We were at the Mara, Amboseli and Lake Naivasha last december (it was great). Coming back to explore Ol Pejeta, Aberdare, Samburu and Nairobi National Park in April. Thank you!
Hey! Thanks a lot for watching the video. I’m glad you liked it! We did see a lot of free rhinos at Ol Pejeta actually. They had a lot of them in that area. The night safari was definitely really cool. You would think that you wouldn’t see much at night but I was really surprised by how many animals were awake and roaming around at night so that was a cool experience. I probably wouldn’t go more than once if I had to pay for it each time, but definitely worth going at least once to experience it. Amboseli and lake naivasha sound really cool! Hope to go there one day too. Hope you have a lot of fun when you head back there :) thanks for reaching out!
Love your photography
Thank you so much that means a lot to me! I also post more on my Instagram if you’re interested! @Jmendapara
Great video series! I especially appreciated the dry sense of humor throughout. I hiked and filmed the TMB this summer also, and I'm wondering if we overlapped at all. What dates did you hike? I was there end of July
Thanks so much! we had to distract ourselves from the pain with some laughter LOL. Oh no way! We also went end of July. We might’ve actually crossed paths. Were you going clockwise? Would love to connect on Instagram if you have! @Jmendapara
@@Jmendapara I feel you haha. I went clockwise (opposite most people), July 18-28!
Loved your videos. What kind of camera do you use, fabulous photographs!
Thank you!! I used an iPhone 14 Pro. Make sure you use 60fps 4k is possible for the best quality. I will be releasing a new Thailand video in a month or two using the Sony a7cii (I just got it) so if you want to see the difference in quality and see if it’s worth upgrading to a cinema camera then make sure to subscribe so you stay updated :)
Excellent. Thanks for putting this out there. It adds a lot of weight to the physical challenge of a TMB (camera equipment) and requires considerable time to produce and edit
Thanks for watching sandy! Really glad you enjoyed it! Had to share the awesome hike with others :)
I’d suggest a Camino De Santiago for you and the fellas next
@@user-lp6fm2zk6j thanks for the suggestion I’ll definitely take a look because a lot of people recommend it!
Jay Thank you for such another well documented Tour du Mount Blanc… I am so going to do it…. Well done Jay.. what a journey❤
Thank you!! You have to do it! If you plan on staying in refuges remember to start booking early (like a few months in advance!)
Man, thank you for part 2! I was eagerly waiting for this. I’m always amazed at Americans being amazed at our windows lmao Anyway, I’m glad you guys had such a good time and that you took us on the road with you. Enjoyed every minute! Hope to see more of your hikes in the future 🙏
LOLOL yea the windows were so cool! Yea had a great time :) thanks for taking the time to watch it! I definitely plan on doing more this year so please subscribe to stay in touch! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
@@Jmendapara obviously I’m already subscribed so keep ‘em coming my dude! :)
@@mjxx LOL THANK YOU! Not sure if I know you already (cuz your username is random) but I love connecting with people so definitely follow me on Instagram too so we can stay in touch :) @Jmendapara
Great video, thanks for sharing! Whats the first song please?
Thanks a lot man! The song is Si Tu Disais - Francoiz Breut I post all the songs in the description too so if you like any other songs, you can look there too!
A fun part of the TMB is also that it goes through pieces of France, Italy and Switzerland. These mountains are where the three countries meet.
Totoally agree, get to see 3 different countries, so amazing!
Jay. We were on the TDMB at about the same time, clockwise. We are really enjoying your recap, but are anxious for the next part, 2/2. So please call in sick at work, so you can finish🤣. Tom Sandy & Julie
@@user-lp6fm2zk6j Hey! Thanks for watching the video :) that’s awesome lol we might’ve crossed paths! Part two will come in the next couple weeks hopefully lolololol I’ll definitely call in sick to finish it. I would love to get in touch with you so feel free to follow me on Instagram “Jmendapara” or add me on Facebook!
@@user-lp6fm2zk6j finally released the part 2! th-cam.com/video/QzvBc71K6es/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PAxt-u7AcAuxOZtE
Man, what a vibe. Watching this I truly wish I could join you and your buds on a hike lol Definitely one of the best MTB videos I've watched (and I've watched a lot)! Can't wait for part 2!
Thanks dude! Lol I’m glad u get along with our stupid humor LOL. Part 2 coming soon :) thanks for following along!
Me and my friends are going tô Guatemala in april, going to do The acatenango, Indian nose, San Pedro, San Marcos jumping in The water and Just, 10 days. Did you like your itinerary?
Hey! Yea we did almost the same things! It was a really good itinerary because we got to experience a lot of different stuff. I would definitely recommend going away from the coast and higher up in San Pedro to experience the culture (if you are into that) since the closer you are to the coast, the more touristy it is. Enjoy your trip!
Thanks for the adventure jay ❤ looking for the part 2 !
Thanks a lot for watching rooban! I will definitely update you when part 2 comes out :)
Hey Rooban! Finally released the second part! th-cam.com/video/QzvBc71K6es/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PAxt-u7AcAuxOZtE hope you like it
Looks like fun! Love the photos you took. We’re booked for next year but taking it a bit slower than you guys are.
Hey! Ty so much :) yea i feel like we did it a little too fast lol i would definitely recommend taking a couple extra days, it’ll be more fun
Brilliant vid, Jay. I've been lucky enough to do the route, but I do fancy the detour to Refuge des Glacier. What time of year did you go, please?
Hey Sean thanks so much for watching! We did it end of July (around July 23rd) so the weather was perfect! Refuge Plan Glacier was definitely the favorite refuge so I would highly recommend checking it out! And please consider subscribing so you can see some cool stuff in the second part of the video too :)
Love the cinematic and the energy. Great work
Thank you Kisin! That means a lot :) Thanks for watching!
Loved watching this
Thanks a lot for watching Varun!

Lot of focus in the wrong things in the video
Just watched this on the big screen and it looks amazing! You’re honing your craft dude, keep it up. Looking forward for part ✌️.
Thanks dude! Thanks for watching
The feel of every video is so different, I love it. I honestly never know what to expect which each vlog and it makes the experience even better! Thank you for sharing Jay
Ty buddy. Gotta keep people on their toes
