Great composition, even when your not feeling the top of your game. The angle of the shots at 1:15 to include the multicolored trees was noticed, the fun with Hazel at 12:15 and 13:00 as she played with her stick and the leaf bundle toss, the interaction of Hazel in your lakeside hug shot at 8:36. All gems that make your captures outstanding (in addition to the technical light balance)
Gorgeous as always, thanks for creating these beautiful pieces of art each time. Love that you guys found your lane and voice, and not swayed by the ups and downs of TH-cam trends. Inspired!
I get this haha. We litteraly hike FOR our pup. We love it too...but its for him haha....Gotta make your way to GA for our fall hiking weather! Its the best
Lived in and near Mammoth in the early 90’s. One of my favorite all time hikes is Reds Meadow to Thousand Island Lake. Thank you for taking me back in time. Need to find my negatives from that trip. Tried to duplicate Ansel Adams image of Banner Peak. It snowed overnight which was both beautiful and frightening as I wasn’t prepared. Living vicariously through you 🙏❤️
Hands down has to be one of my favorite vlogs 🙌 loved seeing you guys backpacking again 🙌 lol I was laughing so hard when “I’m so tired I don’t think I can put up that tent” that was so me last week 😂 but once you’re out there enjoying the view and the sunrise it’s worth it 🙌 love seeing the new van life journey, hope you’re feeling better Cody , blessings to both of you 🙏
I am a week late catching up on you guys, but as always your videos make me realize the small but important parts of life. Taking pride in a small space we call our homes and realizing how lucky we are to have our partners. Goodonya Cody & Victoria! Much love - Jack
Your guy's videos always seem to show up in my feed just at the right time. Thanks for sharing your journey and reminding us to take the time and #goanddo
It feels so inspiring watching your videos. Lots of love from India. Also wanted to know how do you add the camera motion when you shoot yourself and victoria from a distance? It looks like as if someone else is shooting you guys handheld.
I just got to 1 minute of the video, and feel so pleased with it. Love the flow of your videos and narrating. And the shot at 1:06 is so nice and cinematic, just a usual packing thing, but shot in unusual way. 🤩
I was waiting for this video when I saw your IG post. So glad Hazel got to go out! We wanted to go to Thousand Island next week but the road is closed. Next year it is!
I wish I could say that I have a workout routine in the van but currently the only form of exercise I've been getting is rock climbing and hiking. Maybe one day I'll get into a workout routine and if I do, I'll definitely share it on Instagram or something😀 -V
You guys filming on prime lenses these days? Your shots are looking nice and crisp. The isolation of the subject from the background felt noticeably defined. Also Hazel's personality throughout the video really reminds us of our cattle dog. Bratty but so cute.
Love your backpacking videos! Amazing camera work and story telling. Hope you fought the sickness by now. Hating backpacking until you get to that epic campsite is part of the game I guess. It's almost always worth the effort put though :) Do you guys plan to try winter mountaineering some day? If you love rock climbing I think you might love to conquer some epic snow capped peaks as well. The views from Matterhorn Peak in the winter are absolutely amazing and guaranteed smoke free ;)
Absolutley love the vibe of your videos. Beautiful guys and hope you feel better soon Cody. Just a small note when you doing you tripod shots switch image stabilisation off as you camera was wobbling around.
Being able to be mobile and able to provide the necessities while on the road I personally would consider a southern haul when the winter weather hit hard. areas to explore in places like AZ or even a southern states exploration. Winter, or summer Jr, as we call it in FL is about the only time you can comfortably explore certain parts of FL. Being from Cali myself I never thought of the snowbird life until I moved out here and seen how the snowbirds from up north flock to here when the temps start to drop. Feel free to reach out if you ever make it out this way. Also Banff sounds like an amazing idea for Summer 2023
FL is definitely a place we’d like to check out! Be curious to see if this van makes it out that way. We don’t know anything about the east coast at all so it’s be cool to explore
@@codyandvictoria There are some cool areas to explore, no climbing or anything of that nature in FL but some places worth seeing. North GA, SC, NC, TN are all worth exploration at different times of the year. If you're interested I have decent knowledge on areas you would probably enjoy.
I love love your editing style and how you round out your shots. Do you use a plug in for when you have a still shot of you walking away to make it look like somebody is filming y'all instead of your camera on a tri-pod?? It almost looks like it's a drone stationary filming y'all so I just wanted to know if it was a plug in or not. I love it!! Feels so cozy and not 'set up'
I’m not using a plug-in. I’m actually tracking real handheld movement from one of the other shots and applying it to the static clip. It’s a big pain in the butt so we’ll see how long I keep it up 😂😂 thanks a bunch for watching
Great video. Yeah, Thousand Island Lake is a long hike for an overnight but always beautiful. Let me ask you, do you have a 3rd person there shooting some of your video?
Hey guys, I just finished an exausting hike from Mammoth to Yosemite. It was absolutely awesome. But now I'm in South Lake Tahoe and my planned beach @ Rubicon Bay is closed. Since you lived in this area, do you have any tips for a not so known beach? I search for something with these awesome granite rocks in the green water. No problem to hike a little bit if there are lesser people. Thx in advance...
Btw. I woke up at Garnet Lake and I will be stunned for the rest of my life! Donahue Pass was painfull but I will never gonna miss it! That was quite high up on my bucket list... The outdoor are awesome... 😁
Is the camera shake added in post for the shots that no one is holding the camera or that due to wind? Was out there in August, classic Sierra backpacking destination!
What is your favorite lens to use with your fuji? Also what do you do with all the photos you take on your hikes? Do you post them anywhere or just keep them as a personal collection of memories?
hi Cody and Victoria, may i know what camera and lens you're using to film this backpacking trip? i hope it's something light as bringing a huge one on a 8 mile hike is insane
I wish I knew your editing software, settings to export, bitrate, codecs... all that. I export my video's at around 40 Gb and still the quality is not really great... After the YT conversions is not much left from it. Thanks in advance (I had to ask)!
@@codyandvictoria Thank you again for the patience. I will definitely give it a try. I had it with these settings in Premiere Pro: Performance: Hardware Encoding Profile: High Level: 5.2 Bitrate encoding: VBR, 1 pass Target bitrate(Mbps): 300 Use maximum render quality - checked that box If I change to "VBR 2 pass" it changes from "Hardware Encoding" to Software Encoding" (I guess is my video card too weak maybe, NVIDIA RTX3050), is that still OK if is Software Encoding to have a positive result ?
@@codyandvictoria Oh, OK great. I really appreciate it. Great channel btw (I do see your videos since back when the name was "Cody Blue"). P.S: I enjoy it a bit more now with this more "recent look" of natural colors that is having (before was more "green-ish" like in some movies ). :)

Thanks for noticing the extra little bit of work that goes into these 🙏🏼 makes it all the more worth it
The cinematics are so good with this film, I keep expecting it to make a dramatic tonal shift, where a dead body is discovered, or some crisis happens
Ha I’ll take the compliment!
I was just there when I did the JmT in August! Great to see how it looks in fall!
Wow. The image at 8:30 was worth all the effort to get there!
Jealous... enjoy!
Masterpiece as always
I love these videos so much
Gorgeous as always, thanks for creating these beautiful pieces of art each time. Love that you guys found your lane and voice, and not swayed by the ups and downs of TH-cam trends. Inspired!

I’ve always loved your backpacking videos! I hope you guys don’t stop making them. Feel better Cody 😊
I get this haha. We litteraly hike FOR our pup. We love it too...but its for him haha....Gotta make your way to GA for our fall hiking weather! Its the best
Haha hikes for the dog is definitely a thing
Amazing
I love the Eastern Sierra in the fall, those aspens and peaks… Thanks for sharing your adventures! ❤

Did that hike this past summer. Brutal incline!!
It never ends!!! Lol

Dude that yellow in the forest was so beautiful. I’m jealous because we don’t get anything like that here in Florida.
Yeah man we’re from AZ originally so it’s nice to see the leaves like that. Pretty wild
I'm so addicted to your videos that I'm repeatedly watching them😊.
love a good hammock swinging, leaf peepin day 🙌🏽
Peep vibes
Hands down has to be one of my favorite vlogs 🙌 loved seeing you guys backpacking again 🙌 lol I was laughing so hard when “I’m so tired I don’t think I can put up that tent” that was so me last week 😂 but once you’re out there enjoying the view and the sunrise it’s worth it 🙌 love seeing the new van life journey, hope you’re feeling better Cody , blessings to both of you 🙏
Thanks a ton for all of the kind words. Feeling better but still lingering 😣
Sooooo happy Hazel gets to go! I would love to hike in that area! Thanks for sharing you guys.....
Full on autumn vibes, loved it. Thanks for the inspo to make us get more adventurous before the year ends!
Loving Hazel the Wonder Dog. Great vid. You guys are so tough!
Looked like a type 2 fun kind of trip.
Great music choice. The landscape is absolutely epic!Excellent as always
Thanks for sharing your great hiking experience😉🎉🎉

Good job lovers
Hello! Thanks for watching 🤩
I don't know. For a mistake, you sure did make the most of it! Gorgeous site.
Backpacking is awesome your videos are awesome got to keep doing it
Your guy's videos always seem to show up in my feed just at the right time. Thanks for sharing your journey and reminding us to take the time and #goanddo
Thanks Billy! Hope you find the time to get out there
Ansel adams wilderness is amazing ❤
I really loved the music in this one. Plus, that sunrise reflection shot looked totally worth 8 miles, even at elevation 💯💯
100% agree. It was worth it

Thoroughly enjoyed this one guys. Thanks for posting :)

The colors!!

That while sequence from 1:10-1:20 had me pause the video and go straight into the comments lol. Good stuff, love it!
Thanks for stopping in 🙏
What a cinematography folks, this is stunning! 🔥🔥🔥
This has got to be one of my favorite videos from you guys! So many wholesome moments! Love love love watching y’all’s videos❤
Hopefully more to come! Finding a new groove
Fully agree!!
podoba mi się
Great video!
Nice and sunny here in Arizona!! 😉
We’ll be there next month 🌞🌞
Victoria, what’s your vanlife workout like? You stay super fit without having a gym .
I wish I could say that I have a workout routine in the van but currently the only form of exercise I've been getting is rock climbing and hiking. Maybe one day I'll get into a workout routine and if I do, I'll definitely share it on Instagram or something😀

Good morning 😍wow you Morocco 🇲🇦 💪💚
Y'alls content is super well done, nice job storytellers 🙂
Preciate ya! 🙏🏼
Your colour grading has always been good but THIS VIDEO!!! WOW! Also, super cinematic, loved every second of this.
Working on the color every single upload!
Cody's camera work is amazing.
Victoria is part of that camera work now too 😝
Wait on the kids... Great content
Will do 🫡

Would love to. We do a bit of backcountry touring, but never proper mountaineering in the winter. It’s on the list!
Man I love your content. Totally different channel to the one I subbed to years ago but loving it just as much °¬)
Glad you’ve stuck around 🙏🏼
@@codyandvictoria Ha ha, same here °¬)

I think thats the point, it looks hand held
@@hasenmyer I was to quick to advise before thinking ... That's a good point. I never looked at it in that light

Beautiful light 🤩
Start bringing fly fishing stuff.. makes it more fun
The things we do for our pets!
Seriously 😅

No third person - just faking it in post production. Wish we could hire someone though 😅😅
@@codyandvictoria Good fake!!!
Straight outta Red Dead Redemption 2
Dude those colors are amazing! I’m finally starting to see those fall colors in the Bay Area as well! Btw…. What’s that ending song?!
Oh shoot Carlos I wish I remembered the names of the song 🤣 if you really really want to know I’ll look it up for ya haha
Hey guys, I just finished an exausting hike from Mammoth to Yosemite. It was absolutely awesome. But now I'm in South Lake Tahoe and my planned beach @ Rubicon Bay is closed. Since you lived in this area, do you have any tips for a not so known beach? I search for something with these awesome granite rocks in the green water. No problem to hike a little bit if there are lesser people.
Thx in advance...
Btw. What are you currently doing?
Btw. I woke up at Garnet Lake and I will be stunned for the rest of my life! Donahue Pass was painfull but I will never gonna miss it! That was quite high up on my bucket list... The outdoor are awesome... 😁
Is the camera shake added in post for the shots that no one is holding the camera or that due to wind? Was out there in August, classic Sierra backpacking destination!
I believe it’s added in post-I think they explained how they do it in an older video!
on fcpx it’s called handheld camera or something like that. it’s definitely a stylistic choice
What is your favorite lens to use with your fuji? Also what do you do with all the photos you take on your hikes? Do you post them anywhere or just keep them as a personal collection of memories?
I only have the 23mm f2 :) typically I share them on Instagram stories unless they’re really good then I’ll post em
hi Cody and Victoria, may i know what camera and lens you're using to film this backpacking trip? i hope it's something light as bringing a huge one on a 8 mile hike is insane
A7iV and sigma 24-70
@@codyandvictoria wow that’s a beast set up to carry! It makes the film super beautiful though
Loved this one! How do you get those shots of both you and Victoria from a distance and make it look like a handheld shot?
I’m tracking handheld movement from a different shot and applying it to the tripod shots
always love your cinematic vlog. what machine are you using to edit your videos?laptop?
M1 Max MacBook Pro
do u guys still make vids with hazel
I wish I knew your editing software, settings to export, bitrate, codecs... all that. I export my video's at around 40 Gb and still the quality is not really great... After the YT conversions is not much left from it. Thanks in advance (I had to ask)!
Premiere Pro.
H.264
VBR 2 pass
target 40 max 50
Use maximum render quality
@@codyandvictoria Thank you again for the patience. I will definitely give it a try.
I had it with these settings in Premiere Pro:
Performance: Hardware Encoding
Profile: High
Level: 5.2
Bitrate encoding: VBR, 1 pass
Target bitrate(Mbps): 300
Use maximum render quality - checked that box
If I change to "VBR 2 pass" it changes from "Hardware Encoding" to Software Encoding" (I guess is my video card too weak maybe, NVIDIA RTX3050), is that still OK if is Software Encoding to have a positive result ?
Yes mine is software too.
@@codyandvictoria Oh, OK great.
I really appreciate it.
Great channel btw (I do see your videos since back when the name was "Cody Blue").
P.S: I enjoy it a bit more now with this more "recent look" of natural colors that is having (before was more "green-ish" like in some movies ). :)
Did you really leave your dog in your van for a week?
Well no… but yes. Like we left her in the van every day for a week, but only for a few hours each day.
first🤘🏼
Got it!
what happened to the house?
We have a family member staying there.
Trying to talk my GF into this!
