A Little Lost | Backpacking Mount Baker
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2021
- Washington is the last place I called home before moving into my SUV full-time, and it was on these mountain trails and forest roads that I fell in love with living out of my vehicle and backpacking every other night until the rain or snow forced me south to warmer weather. Lately, I’ve been based around Mount Baker. Camping, hiking, and getting lost on mountain trails. If you’ve ever wondered what the Washington backcountry is like, here’s a glimpse into that world. Thanks for being here ♡

Hey :) I’m Christian Schaffer, and I’ve lived on the road full-time since May 2018. This journey began in 2013 when I left the corporate world to build my career as an outdoor adventure & travel photographer. As a semi-minimalist, I eventually decided to donate/sell most of my belongings and move into my 4x4 Nissan Xterra. After 14 months of SUV living and falling madly in love with the open road - I bought a van and hired a team to build it out. Van life enables me to experience and document the beauty of our natural world on a whole new level, all while having my home and office nearby. My hope is that by sharing my own personal highs and lows along this (sometimes) wild journey, you might be inspired to hit the road or spend more time outdoors. Maybe one day I'll see you out on that open road 🚐
*My van is a 2019 Ram ProMaster 1500 High Roof, 136" WB with 31K miles*

Woah, those views!!! Thanks for bringing us along!
Thanks for being here!
Ahhhh what a cinematic masterpiece!! We feel like we are traveling with you every time you upload. You are SO GOOD at telling a story! 💕
aw thank you so much 😭💕
I agree, it's about presenting what you see in front of you in an artistic way. I mean I'm no pro, but there are TH-camrs out there that just push record no edits and upload and still get thousands and thousands of subscribers, but to me it's all about the creating of the content the story telling. This is why when I edit my videos! I try to portray the story that suits best of the situation (footage) that I am putting out in top the world.
Hello from Jordan wadi Rum desert 🇯🇴👋🏼
I LOVE all your videos Christian! I'm a full-time freelance photographer based in London. And I REALLY want to go off-grid. I'm pushing now online to be able to don't rely on clients as much, get a van, and prepare it as beautifully as you did. So jealous of all those hikes you do! 😍Love your channel! Big love!
That’s awesome that you live in London, I wonder what vanlife would be like over there? I’ve always wanted to explore Cornwall and the northern regions of the UK 🍃
@@ChristianSchaffer Van life would be amazing around here. Very rainy but all green and beautiful nature! Cornwall is incredible, I've been there once to surf. Maybe one day you end up exploring the UK, who knows. :D But all the places you show in your videos are so breathtaking! They make me wanna go! Looking forward to you next videos. :)
Ditto Tony! I'm 64 and have vision issues as well as hearing issues. I too live again through your videos, Christian, and hope you never stop! When I was your age I used to hike and camp and backpack too. It feels so good the watch you do what I used to do! Thanks and Love to you!
That makes my heart so happy - time on the trail is the sort of thing that stays with us always 🍃
Good times 🤗
Beautiful video of a beautiful place. I'm glad I get to have Mt Baker in my backyard!
You are one lucky human! ☺️🍃
Great video Christian.
Wow, beautiful video! 😊
Thanks so much 🍃
The music, view vibe is topnotch! Great vid
Wow at the stunning scenery and the fantastic videography! Thank You for sharing your experiences. It's a lot of work to live out of a vehicle and travel to remote places. Thank You for your efforts. Watching your videos takes me to places i would never get to visit on my own. Stay Safe, keep posting and I'll keep watching 🙏👍
I love everything about your videos, from music to color grading and all the content in between! Be safe, be blessed!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Awesome as always Christian. Love seeing the true wilderness of the Pacific North West so beautifully captured. Sound track is pure acoustic vibes
Thanks Chris - the PNW really is something special. Especially this time of year ☺️🍃
At the age of 83 I'm not getting out very much anymore I am living vicariously through all of your videos and the other TH-cam presenters. I love you, all thank you so much.
It’s comments like yours that inspire me to keep creating and sharing. So, thank YOU ☺️🙏🏻
Excellent. I am 54 ..not outdoor adventuring as much except here on the farm. Occasional road trips..the heart still says GO!
I know darkness can lurk behind each corner, but THIS HERE is why I truly appreciate the internet. Tony, Christian, you're both completely awesome!
Dearest Christian: Thank you so much for another vlog GEM full of beautiful, God created countryside. The views from your hikes are spectacular & truly stunning. I am continually in awe of your tenacious climbing of high mountain cliffs-you and friends seem to do it with ease. It makes me smile when Nathaniel joins you for an exploration; you already know I’m a big fan of “Mr. Cool, Calm & Laid Back.”😊 Keep soaring to new heights and basking in the beautiful landscapes you uncover. I LOVE it and I am more than happy to (virtually) join you and your friends. While watching your walks, I feel as though I am right there with the group. Thanks, again! Take good care. Sending you Sisterfriend love & hugs.💝🤗
Totally agree with Sept analysis especially the crowd piece. Great scenery and bloopers hahaha🤣🥂🥂👍
I just wish September would last longer 🤓
YES!!! September is like going to your favorite Ice Cream shop, so many flavors and so little time! Hahaha🧁🍦🍦🤣🥳 cheers!
Fantastic vlog and beautiful views. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching ☺️
@@ChristianSchaffer is life getting back on track post covid?
I completely agree with you! September is the best month of the year, on the mountains at least. :)
I just wish it would last longer..
@@ChristianSchaffer Yes, especially if it's your birthday month :-)
Hiking is Fun!! Mountains are beautiful…Thank you for sharing ☺️
Wow...such a beautiful planet when seen through your eyes. Thank you so much for the reminder and sharing how you see the world. Amazing
"Cheers"
Michael
Also, I would LOVE to see more of what you eat while on the road! I need ideas! 😁😁
It’s on my list 😉🥬
Stunning videography, and the bloopers are a welcome addition to your video repertoire. It's nice to see the raw side of your life digressed from your beautifully edited work. Keep 'em comin!
Your videos are always so relaxing for me. Thank you so much for sharing your highs and lows with us.
Thanks so much for being here 🍃
I was so happy to see that you uploaded again, I was literally thinking just before I saw the video wondering when you would post an update, the edits made me lose the sense of time, thoroughly enjoyed seeing that spectacular scenery softly transitioning in to other the other clips. these videos are my therapy. thankyou. Love from the UK
So happy you like them, thank you for watching ☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻
We were the very fortunate other group on this hike. Thank you for sharing the magic! And for echoing the dread of those last couple knobs/wayfinding challenges! Happy travels to you. ♥️
No way!! So sorry I missed your comment until now. It was great meeting you all - that was such a beautiful hike. And yeah those knobs were a real workout 😅
So lovely! Thanks for taking us along. Putting Mt. Baker on my bucket list.
Love the intro song, Had so much fun recently writing a song for Sailing into Freedom( episodes 265,266,302 ). I was pleasantly surprised when they included it on their site. Enjoying your channel. Keep up the good work.
Another beautifully shot video and wonderful narration to go along with. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Patrick 🙌🏻
It’s that time again to get a little lost❤️. I could sure use a whole month is it. My favorite month as well.
Thanks for sharing a little lost.
I was just thinking I hope you post a new video soon! 💛
Your videos make me smile... Thank you❤🚐
Bellingham and Glacier were my home for 25 years. The state left me behind and now I call Western Montana home. I will always have my old friends and memories though. That trail out Shuksan Arm is something I did every day every Winter. It is magical any season you go.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Love and Blessings to you all! Enjoy!
Beautiful. You captured all the amazing moments of nature when I was on backcountry trail crews and spike outside on fires. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the work you do 🙏🏻🙏🏻
What absolutely beautiful scenery! What an adventure! Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the bloopers.
Gorgeous and inspiring! You and your work that shows the beauty and challenges that you go through make the world a better place. Thank you!!
So so beautiful ! ! Love your videos!
Love the bloopers. Also what a blessing to have friends with you on these trips
Gorgeous and beautiful as always with all your backpacking trips. I didn’t know that there are still lots of wildflowers in the Mount Baker area - so nice!
Simply stunning, what more can you say thanks for sharing stay safe cheers 🥂 from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks so much, Barry 🍃
Another great video Christian. You are truly blessed to have a group of friends that love to do the type of camping and exploring as you do. A little mind blowing that after that very physical hike in, you have neighbors. Love the food, fun and that someone carried the wine. The photography is at times surreal. Thank you so much for taking the time to include us.
There's nothing like "being" there, the vastness of the landscape, smells riding atop the crisp clean air...it's a beautiful thing. Congrats on living your life on your terms. Not many people are truly free. Thank You for this video.
It’s so nice to see you posting vids on my only day off for most of my weeks! Thank you for the content Christian, you’re hella awesome ✌️🔥
You found the best place in the west. Her beauty is rugged and vast. So glad you had beautiful weather to enjoy her wilderness.
What a stunning place with all those wild flowers, forests and lakes, just so beautiful. The views go on for miles and miles as well. I'd happily spend weeks/months out there just exploring and enjoying it all. Thanks for taking us along Christian 😊
Wow , beautiful area ……can’t wait to travel there & see it also . Thx for sharing & safe travels to you . Be well . 👍😱😘🎣⚾️
So beautiful.
Such beautiful landscape! Breathtaking!
Amazing!! 😍 Your videos always make me feel so calm and peaceful! Thank you!

A cavalcade of awe-inspiring vistas! Watching your video has transported me to a restful place in my mind as I enjoy priceless scenery! Thank you.
OMGosh, those wildflowers ....LOVE !!!!
