*Hey Everybody! Thanks for tuning in. Theres still tons of episodes to come on this season of For Wild's Sake, so make sure to like and subscribe and turn on notifications etc etc blah blah. It really helps the channel a ton, plus it means you won't miss anything, which is whats most important. Enjoy, and we'll catch you on the next one!*
Great stuff! Thanks, Chase and Aimee, for doing what we'd all like to be doing ourselves. I lived in my VW camper a lot between 1969 and 1971, traveling around the Northwest with fly rod in hand. Thanks for bringing back a whole raft of happy memories for me. Bravo to you both!!!
The quality of this is mind-blowing. The transitions, the sound, the photography, everything is so well done. The content is great, but so is the production quality. I've seen documentaries on Netflix done far worse than this.
I can't believe I'm just now seeing this! I live in Arizona and I love this beautiful state. I'm so glad Tight Loops got to experience it and document it in such a beautiful way!
Philip James Bailey tells us that, "Art is man's nature; nature is God's art." This kind of filmmaking and storytelling brings that home in such a beautiful way. Tightloops represent the best hope for a future for all our children to have a world to appreciate and enjoy.
Your videos are absolutely fantastic. Came for, and love, the fishing content but what I learn from your videos, travel and nature documentation keeps me coming back for more. Thank you and I can't wait for more!
Born and raised in Tucson, this was an amazing video. Thank you for shedding light on the beauty and ever decreasing natural lands. Every time I return, it looks a little bit more dense and foreign.
Thanks Nick! Glad you liked it. Tucson has become like a second home for us. The Sonoran desert is a magical place, full of mystery and wildness, even if it is shrinking. This is one of our favorite videos from this series, but it doesn’t get much love from our fishing audience, since it’s…you know, about cactuses and stuff lol.
@@TightLoops the southwest is SO underrated for fishing! I’m sure the cactus and fishing don’t correlate to most 😂 been loving the Baja series, just might have to make the trip down that way and chase some fish.
I can't accurately convey just how much your videos mean to me personally. I grew up in the country, surrounded by nature and at 20 decided to move to a major city. In the last 5 years or so I've been increasingly drawn back to my roots. These videos have give me the motivation I needed to make a major life change and get back to the natural world before it's too late. Thank you. I mean that, thank you.
Really great to see you guys doing great been some time since the last one I was hoping nothing was wrong you guys truly do the best videos even though there was no fish it was still fantastic to watch 👍great videos your friend in the North 🤟🇨🇦
Thanks Graham. Unfortunately I've had some really debilitating health issues all summer/fall. But it looks like there may be some light at the end of the tunnel. Anyway, hopefully we can be a little more steady with content now
I am currently in the Cactus Forest and decided to search videos after filming the sunrise. I'm blown away at the quality of this episode. Simply amazing. Very informative. You all display the landscape so perfectly well.
Just finding this page yesterday has spark that fire in me to start shooting photos again! Man you guys are amazing! I hope and wish nothing but the best for you all! Wasn’t in the best place in my mind and seeing the big sacrifice you guys did to move in to your van made me realize to go after that one thing that I put aside and bring it back to life. Thank you guys again! Oh yea I’m also heading to Joshua tree next week!!
Outstanding! Thank you for doing Tucson justice! The beauty of our city’s location is lost to so many including locals. If you’re ever in town and need anything, including tools or a good meal, I am at your service, it’d be an honor to pay you back for all the beautiful videos and inspiration you’ve given me to get into flyfishing.
Great film. Great art. Correction @ time stamp 21:00 -- the largest tract of protected wilderness in the lower 48 is Idaho's Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness.
Thanks! I've heard The Frank get mentioned often in this discussion, but according to the numbers I've seen listed its short by almost 1,000,000 acres to death valley: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_wilderness_areas_in_the_United_States
And I'm not totally sure why you see those two conflated so often. Its possible that it has something to do with the idea of "unbroken" wilderness. The Frank is super remote, and its possible that it has more wilderness that isn't intersected by roadways or something like that. But pretty much anywhere you see this broken down, DV is number 1 for acreage in the lower 48.
These are really well edited. Thank you for all of the work that has come into making your vids a must. I used to go fly fish the hell’s gate wilderness in northern Az
The audio engineering of these series is quite literally the best I’ve ever seen on an independent TH-cam channel. Actually mind blowing that this is free. If you started some sort of Patreon as an optional thing, I would totally contribute!
Found you thru Bound for Nowhere… the level of pro quality filming, editing and education your doing, all while living in a VW(!!) is totally epic. I’m so excited to see more of this, you guys are super talented.
Wonderful adventure! The desert surely holds a beauty of its own. Love the van but am always afraid it is not going to hold up, here is hoping it helped you complete your trip. I guess I will have to keep watching to know for sure! haha! Thanks for sharing. :) :)
Yo... Imagine if humans had to live 80 years before they sprouted their first arm. I love everything you two create. From the writing to the cinematography, and everything in between. Always a tour de force.
Chase and Amy, this is just fantastic filmmaking. So glad to hear you’re feeling a little bit better Chase. I’ve been so looking forward to to seeing this series return!
Sooo glad I found you a few months back, one of a kind creators... Hope you get well soon and thanks again for all the amazing and inspiring content you keep bringing to the community!
Excellent- Trout are indeed “Rare” in Ohio, only a couple streams, and they do not reproduce, but if you are passing through “fly-over” country, I have a Dometic 12v fridge/freezer I will donate for the sake of the wild..Journey on and keep sharing!
Dr Seuss was from San Diego, so you can see a lot of influence in his books from that area of California. If you visit the San Diego Zoo, I swear you will see Trufula trees...
ha! I remember when that term first started getting thrown around over 10 years ago. I was in art school at the time, and it was reserved for a very specific, and quite extreme group of people. These days it seems to just be a catch all for "young person", although to be honest that doesn't work as well now that we're in our 30's. Anyway, thanks for tuning in! Appreciate the support!
I know, right?!? Walking around in the dark out there looking for cool catus' to timelapse under the moonlight was pretty surreal. They look like giant people in the dark.
So did you get to catch the wild Gila and Apache trout? So excited to se a video of my backyard. Hopefully you got to experience these beautiful native trout.
You bet! We caught apaches that spring (a couple episodes down the line) and then Gila trout the following October (many more episodes down the line). Make sure you're subscribed and stay tuned, because they're all coming up!
Thank you! Theres still so much to cover here in the US though! And for whats it's worth "trout" are a distinctly north american fish, so it's unlike that "the rare trout chronicles" will go international. But we'll definitely be traveling internationally and making similar content in the future! Subscribe and stay tuned!
@@TightLoops true, there's many rare and beautiful salmonids that will take flies across the world even if not technically trout lol. On a side note have you ever heard about the "silver trout" or salvelinus agassizii? A now extinct species related to the arctic char that only lived in a few alpine lakes New Hampshire having been trapped by retreating glaciers during the last ice age, they went extinct in 1939 due to invasive fish introduction and only 13 specimens remain they are little known and I've never seen a documentary about them or even a quality drawing of one I just thought you would find them an interesting topic
Can't stop wondering, how are you handeling living with a cat in the van on the road? Is he a house/van cat? Or do you let him go outside when you are parked and he always comes back? Great video! Love watching these :)
So, Levi was an entirely indoor cat for 13 years leading up to this. He never even went outside once. So he's pretty skittish about the outdoors. Plus he's pretty old, so most of the time he likes to just hang around inside and snooze under the blankets. About a year into being on the road he started to get a little more confident and explore the area immediately surrounding the van, but thats only if we've been in one place for a few days and he feels comfortable. So yeah, he'll hang around with us at camp a little bit these days, but we never let him out of our sight.
Thanks! I can't remember. All the music on here is either from public domain libraries or subscription services. Theres a list of all the music in the credits if that helps! But yeah, its not by a popular band/artist or anything like that
The images were awesome in this episode, but the sound design was absolutely off the chain! I was wondering if in particular the scene with the bird's in the saguaros was the actual audio you recorded? If so was what mic are you using and how far away were you? The sound was so good! I also enjoyed the deeper dives you took on the Saguaros and Joshua tree. I'd honestly love to see deeper dives where an entire episode was dedicated to that one subject. Thanks again! 🤙
Thank you! So, long story short, no, its not the actual audio. wildlife photography usually requires distance form the subject and telephoto lenses, and we havent invented the equivalent of a telephoto microphone...yet. So all the soundscapes you hear are made after the fact from a million different recordings. Some i took in the actual place, and some from a growing library of sound fx i've been building for years (I have thousands and thousands of different recordings). It's a really painstaking process, but also very rewarding when its all done. This technique, by the way, is called "foley" and it's how pretty much all audio in films (besides dialogue) is recorded. Its a pain in the butt, but allows you to achieve really great effects that you could never get by just having a microphone on site.
Awesome cinematography as always ( where’s the fishing ) never mind great vids . U talk to much ( wow did I say that aloud ) Great stuff guys , luv the desert 🌵 Much luv aka respect aka I always use aka as well aka never been a cat human ( wow did I just say that out loud ) Aka ✌️❤️✊🇦🇺
It’s kinda ironic, how we can so enjoy a campfire in the “wild”, only to then witness the devastation a fire can wreak on the ecosystems we so cherish.

This sheight needs to be a Netflix series! The intro is so clean.
Yes!
Thanks you! The intro was super fun to make.
Heh..I love the outros
The quality of this is mind-blowing. The transitions, the sound, the photography, everything is so well done. The content is great, but so is the production quality. I've seen documentaries on Netflix done far worse than this.
Oh yeah totally, I've spent many a night looking for a good documentary to watch on Netflix so many that aren't as good as these.
I can't believe I'm just now seeing this! I live in Arizona and I love this beautiful state. I'm so glad Tight Loops got to experience it and document it in such a beautiful way!

Beautiful! Keep making memories🍻
Very enjoyable series, can't wait for the next one.👍
These are the best videos on TH-cam
Awe thanks! That means a lot!
watching this on a Monday. Thanks for making my Monday more tolerable!
Thanks so much for tuning in!
Masterpiece!
Absolutely superb editing.
As a native Phoenician, you guys truly captured the beauty of the Sonoran Desert.

The cactus at 6:52 is amazing
I know, right?!? Walking around in the dark out there looking for cool catus' to timelapse under the moonlight was pretty surreal. They look like giant people in the dark.
Awesome! Tyler sent me!
Sweet! Tyler's the man! Make sure to check out the previous episodes, they're a little fishier than this one
Currently sitting in our van in very cold weather with a single propane heater- this reminded me to romanticize it all a little more 🥰
ha! There are definitely worse things you could be doing 😉

The amount of work done into the editing of these videos is breathtaking. I've seen much bigger shows with depressingly worse editing and compositing.
