  • Last Summer I Solo hiked the Bomber Traverse trail in Hatcher Pass, Alaska. I spent a night in Mint Hut and a night near Bomber hut. The B29 plane crashed back in 1957 and can still be seen today!

    The amount of work required for this film is simply incredible. You absolutely nailed the feeling. The vibe. The color. The sense of being all alone in a land of beauty. Thank you for continuing to inspire.

    I stopped watching Kraig Adams once he switched to filming on his iphone and the videos lost its beauty. I'm glad there's people still out there lugging their heavy gear to make good quality shots like this!

      The same thing happened to me. I used to watch Kraig Adams but by way of his minimalism, things really got worse. Hot take: Sometimes sensor size matters.

    Drew, the number of times I said to myself "He's gotta turn around to get the camera at some point" ...and then you cut to a shot of you further away! Incredible work man. Very inspiring

    This is some of the best cinematography on TH-cam. Drew you are so talented and I simply love the artistic skills you have. Some of those shots climbing hand over fist and then to have to do it again to go retrieve that camera, you are definitely putting in the work and we certainly appreciate it.

    What a great video. Astounding, people don’t understand that just getting to the mint hut(red hut) is 8+ miles one way.

    There should be a friendly competition between the various TH-cam photo/videographers. Drew would probably win. National Geographic level stuff! By the way Drew - why not just use a drone for all the walking shots - save yourself miles of extra distance going back/forth to get the distant trail hiking shots. Get a DJI sponsorship :)
