Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Climbing Mount Washington in New Hampshire
Mount Washington in the White Mountains of New Hampshire is one of the deadliest mountains in North America. The convergence of several regular weather patterns creates some really nasty weather on the summit. High winds, fog, snow and ice that seem to popup out of nowhere. I was very fortunate to be able to summit during a really good weather window, but it still kicked my butt. Having been to the Himalaya and done a lot of climbing out west, I was very naïve about just how difficult it would be. I'd like to go back and do it again, but be more prepared (and in-shape) next time.

Georgia Hog Hunt
มุมมอง 553ปีที่แล้ว
In late September of 2023, my best friend and I went on a hunt in Southeast Georgia at the Oconee River Hunting Lodge. We were allowed 3 hogs (1 per day) and one 8-point or higher whitetail deer. It was a great time to just get away, crack jokes and just be "dudes". Special thanks to Pastor Eric Numerich of @lic.church in Owosso, Michigan. #wildlife #cinematic #adventure #drone #hunting #hoghun...

The Great Salt Lake
มุมมอง 82ปีที่แล้ว
Before heading to the Sierras, we stopped at Antelope Island out in the Great Salt Lake for a little hiking and animal watching. We've been here many times, but we saw more wildlife then ever before, probably due to the unseasonably cooler temperatures. These images make it very apparent that the Great Salt Lake is shrinking. Obvious signs of shoreline recession. It seems every time we visit, t...
Climbing Mount Washburn in Yellowstone National Park

During our latest trip to Yellowstone, Thresa and I took a day to summit Mount Washburn. We chose to do the Dunraven Pass route. A little longer hike, but some said more scenic.

in 2023, my wife and I realized that my parents had never been to Yellowstone National Park. So we decided to take them on an adventure to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Both were turning 80 soon and still in relatively good health. It turned out to be the trip of a lifetime for all of us. Love you mom and dad!!! #adventure #hiking #mountains #nature #wildlife #yellowstone #cinemat...

John: This is the BEST video I've seen on climbing Imja Tse. Loved the heavy breathing and location appropriate music which reminded me of how difficult the climb was. And when you say, "This is so stupid," I have to cover my face because I'm laughing so hard and I'm in a public place. Also looked at your Angel's Landing video, and I thought. "He's walking in my shoes!" But that's an LOL; true, but not to be taken too seriously.
Thank you so much for your watching Steve, and for commenting. Sounds like we have similar interests. 🙂
Also Steve, just thought you might be interested in my latest video "The Mountains Are Calling" (th-cam.com/video/z9jkD2n_ZB8/w-d-xo.html), which is a montage of several trips with narration on my passion for the mountains.
Nice video, great message!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
❤❤❤❤
Thanks

Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this! That was such a blast & the video turned out amazing! ❤
You are so welcome! Glad you liked it.
That looks Big but how heavy that is for real in KG ??
Not sure. But he looked like he wasn't having fun. ;-)
80 to 100 kgs
do you just think so or their is any proff cause sometines these big stuff is a lott less than that weight,im thinking its less to be honest how fast he is walking he would be too slow @@anishghimire5988
Done it myself with Ian's team with Ang Kami back in 2015. Well worth the effort!
I hope to do it some day before I (get too old).
Great video ❤ lot's of respect ❤🇮🇳 Love to see you this video in this huge plateform 👍
Thanks so much!
Sooooo beautiful!!!
Yes! It's such an amazing place!!!
If you are posting a video explaining what you are showing.
Thanks for your comment Jacqueline. I'm not sure what you're saying though... Can you elaborate?
Was it very hilly? Great video!
Thanks. Glad you liked it. Not too hilly. Just enough to engage more than just your feet.
Going to Moorea in a week! We can’t wait!!!
Enjoy!!! You're going to love it. Have the humpbacks arrived yet?
@@johnmckay719 we have a private whale tour booked. I hope we see some.
@@stephenlozano2816 That's awesome!!! Good luck and safe travels!
Thanks for video. Question: What camera did you use for the underwater shots. Looks very good. Thanks
Thanks for the comment/question. I was using a GoPro Hero 10 with a waterproof case. I was pretty impressed with how the footage turned out. I didn't do any filtering or modifications in edit either.
Thanks. Heading to Tahiti on a Windstar cruise in November and want to have the right gear for the trip. Thanks for sharing your experiences. @@johnmckay719
That's awesome@@123selkirk. If I'm not mistaken, you should have a good chance to see the humpback whales migrating during that time of year. Enjoy and stay safe!!!
I feel bad that it was cloudy but still looked really cool!
Thanks John. You should checkout my Everest Base Camp Trek video...
Loved your video. Our time spent in French Polynesia, including Moorea was the highlight of our year. Loved it.
Glad you liked the video. It's an amazing place!
Where did you stay?
We stayed at the Manava Beach Resort. It was perfect!
Going there in March, first time in a hut over the water.
You'll love it!!!
Majestic ❤❤❤
Absolutely!!!
Nice one!
Thank you! Cheers!
How long did take you guys to reach the campground?
I think it was like 6 hours. It can definitely be done faster, but we were taking our time. 😊
Beautiful video!
Thanks Nancy. Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved all your "Wows" and enthusiasm! Great video! Zion is one of our favorite places in the world! ❤ So glad the car was OK in that crazy flash flood!
Thanks! Yes, we love Zion too. We need to go back again and do the narrows.
@johnmckay719 Yes! You do. It's amazing. We were blessed enough to do The Narrows twice, once in summer and again in winter with the dry bib overalls. So fun and beautiful!
Good luck on your climb! 🙏
내년에 도전예정인데 멋진영상 잘보고 갑니다 고마워요 :)
Thanks. And good luck with your climb next year.
Looks like a fantastic hiking trip! Beautiful woods and a wonderful atmosphere out there. Nice upload John!
Danke Mario. Not as good as your stuff, but I try. 😊 Wondering if you could take a look at some of my other videos and give me some advice...? 🙏
Wish you had sunset or sunrise pics..But still SO Beautiful!!!
Next time!
YES! If you put your sunglasses 👓 🕶 😎 in front of your camera lense, you would be able to share it better!
Good idea!!
SO MAGESTIC❤
Indeed. Probably the most beautiful valley in the world!
Unreal❤
Yeah, it was crazy. We were miles from any "town" and there was nothing for them to eat up there (besides crazy trekkers feeding them).
So it is true $#!t falls down hill😂
I guess so. :-)
SO BLESSED!
That really sums it up for sure. I feel so fortunate to have been able to go to the Everest region. What amazing mountains and amazing people!
BEAST❤
Just to clarify, this was not me. I was up there without a rope. 😋
@@johnmckay719 😳❤️🙏🏽
Are you repelling mosquitos?
Oh jeez... Thanks for catching that... duh John!
Maybe I should've said "abseiling"... 😂

true american moment...
McDonalds would have probably been more "American", but oh well... It was the first fast food I saw getting off the plane. :-)
Opening shots are so perfectly executed. Such a peaceful and serene atmosphere!
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
From the bottom of my Heart 💖 . Thank you for visiting & showing our Country beauties 🇳🇵🙏🙏
