    Brother, this is a wonderful offering to us all. No need to apologize for the sense of this being slow. Slow is good. Slow is a doorway to Presence, and to the eternal truths held there. The world could use a lot more of that. As you well know, what we connect to in silence, in stillness, is beyond words. I love that your films are not narrated. They are a meditation. And I am deeply grateful for them, and your growing talent as a filmmaker. Much love, fellow wanderer..

      Thank you Todd! Appreciate your comment. My intent is to make videos even non-hikers might enjoy: just relaxing and letting nature speak.

      Todd, I fully agree with you. Harmen's films are simply outstanding, extraordinary and tell us more than words. I am inspired and getting ready for adventures, to create myself and share with People. But Harmen became a waymaker and master of style💚👏

    This must be the most slow paced film I’ve made so far, but that is kinda what I experienced out there.
    This whole trip was improvisation. I had planned on hiking part of the Peaks of the Balkans trail, but the amount of snow greatly exceeded my expectations, basically cancelling all the plans I’d made. Instead I spent a week winter camping in Albania (video will come), and a few days here in Montenegro. These 2 nights were the coldest I’ve ever camped in (wind chill -18°C), but also 2 of the most memorable ones.
    There was no wind for the 2 days I camped there; the closest town was a 3 hour hike through deep snow. At night I would walk to the middle of the valley and look up at these rough mountains lit up by the full moon with the stinging cold of in my face and the perfect silence. No words for it.
    Curious to find out what you all think about it film!

      Dear Harmen,

      Just subscribed, fourth video I've watched tonight. How many times can I say how incredible your videos are? I will keep it short - they are brilliant in every way. Every shot is amazing, perfect. I'm no expert but I'm just stunned the entire time. The night shots, the starscape with the mountains in the foreground and everything perfectly visible. Beautiful work!

    One of the greatest videos on TH-cam! Never imagined Balkans can be so beautiful. Ah, frozen boots. That's why I don't use membrane boots any more. Instead I prefer water proof overshoes over leather boots. Now, I don't need to deal with frozen leather in the morning or warming them near the fire. Simple, cheap and efficient solution.

      @@HarmenHoek Yeah, I totally agree, without having the pressure of putting out content, you will have more freedom to create better quality films. But if I wouldn't put some releasing pressure on myself, I wouldn't record any hike that I do, hehe, but I want some of them as a video for my personal memories too, so I have to force myself sometimes to go out and press the record button. And If I wouldn't have found your channel, I wouldn't even make hiking videos at all, you are a huge inspiration to many. Thank you, always looking forward to your next one ;) Have a great week man.

    Another congrats and thanks for this film. In 2 seconds, it opens on the beautiful drone views and I'm over there, enjoying the gorgeous mountains. Not only your filming and editing are first class, but also even without any words, I find the film very philosophical. It's not slow at all, it's relaxing, inspiring, just making us feel like being somewhere else for 20 minutes. All warm at home while you do the -18°C 😂
    Can't wait for the Albanian video! 👍

    Perfect in my estimation. I subscribe to another film maker from Sweden who rarely speaks and who's films have this same meditative quality - exactly my sweet spot. I don't talk incessantly when I'm out in the Aussie bush, I prefer to look and listen, to let the setting wash me and shift my perceptions outwards in a way that somehow refreshes inwards simultaneously. (Don't want my nature films to sound like the line at the grocery store - yap, yap, yap.) Letting the setting speak requires the filmmaker to speak less and you are a class act in that regard Harmen. As we watched my Wife said, "Where is it? 2023 we need to start saving to go there." When you started piling up firewood I thought, "He's staying longer, this will be interesting." And it was. Awesome and wonderous, pretty good to be able to pass that feeling on via a youtube video!

      Thanks! Those distance shots are my favorite, really shows the vastness of the place. But those shots also take most effort

    Extraordinary video!! You capture the essence of how connected you are to nature through your professional videography skills. Your videos are a visual and auditory meditation! Without a doubt you put in a lot more work than we see to make this happen. You deserve 1M+ subscribers. Keep it up… your time will come my friend. Stay blessed!
