I'm ashamed ro say that as an Irish person, I have never been to the Skellig. I loved your video, showing the scenery from different perspectives . Lovely video.
Glad you enjoyed your trip and your wife and son enjoyed theirs too. You seem like really lovely people, I truly hope the rest of your Irish adventure was equally enjoyable. Signed your latest subscriber 👍
So cool! Going to Ireland in April but the landing tours won’t be open yet so we’re going to do the eco tour where you ride around the islands instead.
Refuse to call this Star Wars island it’s Michal island disrespectful to the monks who worked hard to build this place make their homes plant their gardens so amazing could never do these stairs insane
I couldn’t agree more! I was so bothered all anyone talks about is Star Wars. Who cares! What about the history of the devout men who died building this!? Society is so shallow these days it makes me sick.
Obviously it has a long and storied history, but it's impossible to deny the light that has been shed on it due to the production of Star Wars. It is always Skellig Michael, but it can mean more than one thing to people. Also, the stairs weren't too bad.
@@BradJostI agree. Skellig Micheal has got a lot more popular now since star wars was filmed, I know that I learned about it from an early age at school but that's cause I'm irish, doubt anyone outside of ireland knew of it's existance before star wars was filmed,so it is good for our tourism to have so many fans come over. And in regard to the people giving out about it in these posts, your video was respecting the island and showing Points of reference to what was filmed where, so dunno why they're giving out. Excellent work 👍 If you were playing the star wars theme over it, then it'd be different, but you werent
Thanks for this great insight into what I plan to do in June (visiting this place). Hope you didn't give to much of your time behind the lens. I also hope the weather will be kind to me & let me & let me travel to this great place.
Glad you could gain something from it. I hope you have good weather too! I had a balanced enough time filming stuff and enjoying myself. I really enjoy shooting video like this, so I don't mind.
Ireland has to be probably the only country in the world where we get 4 different seasons weather all in 1 day 😂 I hope you did get the weather to land, I've had 1 trip canceled and the 2nd went ahead, I'm going for my 3rd trip now this weekend so really hoping it stays decent. Our weather system is real bad here in ireland. More rain the sun 😂 But I suppose I have it quite lucky in the sence it's only a 4 hr diive for me, as opposed to those of you who would travel over from the states where its a lot harder to get the chance to get to it
Hi Brad I love star wars and I booked my tickets for August this year... I'm in panic with the high, if I look to the opposite side it's possible to not see how high it is? Any advice?
1. Oldest well-preserved christian monastic site in the world, built into a rock-pyramid of an island 12 miles off the coast where monks would live for years on end living off fish from the sea .... Meh. 2. Venue for filming of a small part of a Star Wars film .......... people go bonkers. Modern culture.
The video was good but I’m disappointed no talk at all about the actual history of it or the devout men who died making it. So shallow and disrespectful to only talk about Star Wars. Who cares!
Why would I talk about something I don't know enough about. I'd rather leave that to the historians. This was a personal journey to the island, not a video meant to teach any history.
Look up the history of the island yourself. There are other TH-cam videos that explain the history. It would be very tedious if all the videos on Skellig Michael were all the same.

Thank you so much for watching and enjoying! I hope you get to go some day.
Awesome Video - Awesome Place - Thanks for Sharing!

Thank you so much! We had such a wonderful trip. Truly one to remember. Thanks for the sub!!
@@BradJost hey no worries at all. Stay safe in this pandemic.
You too!
So glad I got to see this, a bit of prep before I go here next Monday. Thanks for sharing.
Have fun! Glad it was a bit helpful.
Great video, man. I'm not going to lie... I'm pretty jealous, haha. The music you chose was also great!
ahh thanks dude! Hope you get the chance to go there sometime!
Excellent fella well done👏👏
Thanks 👍

Ahh.. well have a great trip! Hopefully you have good weather for the trip out there.

Sorry to hear this content makes you sick. All you had to do was not watch it.

That’s were I live 😆
It must be a wonderful place to live!
woww! Was it too windy and cold when you were there?
I don't believe it was. It was mostly a nice day out there on the island.
I take it you have Irish genes somewhere.
You have Irish eyes Josh!
Hi Brad
I love star wars and I booked my tickets for August this year... I'm in panic with the high, if I look to the opposite side it's possible to not see how high it is?
Any advice?
hmmm... it's a pretty tall island and the paths are really narrow/on the side of a cliff. I would say go for it though... it has amazing views!
1. Oldest well-preserved christian monastic site in the world, built into a rock-pyramid of an island 12 miles off the coast where monks would live for years on end living off fish from the sea .... Meh.
2. Venue for filming of a small part of a Star Wars film .......... people go bonkers.
Modern culture.
Not Meh. It's an incredibly impressive history.
Thanks a lot lads since 2015 the metro and started migrating there and then they stopped tourism there and I wanted to go there 🖕
huh?
Not the easiest place to get to, very weather dependent
Oh totally. I was very nervous I was going to miss out on this visit completely. I got lucky.
Definitely NOT the place to rush to your connection, nor take selfies.
No rushing there at all. A place to take your time and explore. I will say selfies are welcomed thought.
The video was good but I’m disappointed no talk at all about the actual history of it or the devout men who died making it. So shallow and disrespectful to only talk about Star Wars. Who cares!
