Every photographer watching this video as it starts:
"Ooh nice...niiiice...love the snow! Nice rig. Ooh the moose antlers popping up out of the...wait...no...OMG...NO! NO, MOOSE! THAT'S NOT FOR YOU!
What ran through my head: "Oh... look at this idiot" haha
Fantastic footage especially considering cold, wind & snow. Thank you! And for ‘respect’ comments. 👍

Great footage mate!
Thanks so much!
Hoback is a magnificent animal
He really is! Thanks for watching!
Nat Geo here we come!
Crossing my fingers 🤞
Excellent footage!
Thank you!
It’s nearly impossible to find the words that truly describe the sheer beauty and wonder of this exquisitely shot video ! The clarity,crispness and color of every image from the windswept snowfall to the majesty of the animals is unparalleled! It’s absolutely STUNNING and I could not have enjoyed it more . Thank you for your incredible talent and for taking us along on these wonderful adventures !
Thank you so much Pam! Im so glad you liked it! It was such a gorgeous day with the snow! Im so lucky to have been there for it!
I really enjoy your videos. I particularly appreciate your respect for the animals you photograph. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to your next video.
Thanks so much Randy! I really appreciate it, and thank you for watching!
Beautiful
Thanks James! Thank you for watching!
Josh - totally agree with you about the moron photog leaving his/her camera out and causing a disturbance and possible harm. I respect and value your technique of sitting and waiting patiently and not stressing or interfering with the animals. Those are the attributes of a real pro! Carry on!
Thank you so much! I can't believe people sometimes... And thank you! I try really hard to be as ethical as possible. Im really glad you noticed!
What an amazing videos wow greetings from Colorado 👋🏻🫎

✌️✌️
This is so exciting to watch! You are a creating professional level outdoor documentaries. Also, I had a minor panic attack watching that camera and the moose!
Thanks buddy! I’m so glad you liked it! I’m really hoping this one does well 😂 I think I need it for my mental health haha
Really great video! Made me want to see more so I subscribed to your channel.
Thank you for the support!
Beautifully done! I get emotional watching these majestic creatures. They truly are a gift from God to man. 😊
Thanks for watching!
great video!
Thanks!
Poor old boy has an ear infection. Absolutely amazing footage bravo!
Thank you so much! How do you know he has an ear infection?
Just came across your channel, and I thought I would share my thoughts with you. I have seen one moose in the wild, which blew my mind! It was huge! What an amazing creature to see. I also got to see bighorn sheep like in your video and wow! Let me just say from a guy from Nashville TN that your video was beautiful. The scenery, the animals, the snow! The music was so soothing. Very well done. New sub here. I will be back. Thank you for showing me the beauty on our planet.
Thank you so much for such kind words! I am so glad you liked it and connected with it! Thank you for watching!
Hi !!! Great !!! Great !!! Great !!!
Thank you so much! ✌️
Outstanding video!! Your videos get better and better with each new one. You met up with one of the best in Steve Mattheis, I have been following him for quite a long time and his work is incredible. Thanks for sharing your experience and have a Very Happy New Year and may 2024 offer up some exception shooting!!
Thank you SO much! I really appreciate it! Happy New Year to you also!!
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Best 20 minutes of my day! 🤩
Thank you so much for watching!
I totally agree about some of the irresponsible people and these beautiful animals. Some get way too close, and don't respect the fact that these are wild animals. They get complacent and sometimes the animals pay for it in one way or another. I live less than an hour from GTNP and see some pretty bad examples of stupid people. Love your page Brother. Your vid's are extremely well done. Thanks for sharing.
I totally agree, And it's very frustrating to witness. And thanks so much, I really appreciate the support! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this magnificent beauty for those of who cannot be there
Thank you so much! I am so glad you liked it!
You won me over with the videos of Moose and your stand on some who are being an idiot with wildlife, putting the wildlife at risk as well as one's self. You are also right, they make the res of us look bad and can cause limitations imposed due to their poor behavior. I look forward to catching up on your earlier episodes and future adventures, subscribed and bell alerted,
Hi Glen, thank you so much for such a nice comment! thank you so much for the support, and im glad your here!
I’m not a huge fan of extensive use of Slo-Mo but the images are really great
Thanks! I try hard to mix it up a bit so it's not just slo-mo for sure.
Always enjoy your videos
Thank you!!!
Never get tired of Moose or is it Meese ? This summer I will be working in Yellowstone again. This time I will be at the front desk working at Lake. It will give me plenty of time to photograph critters.
I was told it’s Moose 😂 but I am no expert
Wonderful! Thank you. That big horn sheep jumping up the rocks was especially incredible to see! (Did the person recover the camera from Mr. Moose??!!!)
Thank you! I’m so glad you liked it! They did, and luckily (or I guess unfortunately haha) the camera didn’t sustain too bad of damage
Hoback in the fresh snowfall - gorgeous! What a dream encounter. Great work with this video man, I’m glad you had such a successful trip thus far! Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Thanks so much! It was phenomenal! going there in early DEC might be a yearly tradition for me now! Thanks for the support!
Amazing video in harsh conditions. The beauty is stunning and pure enjoyment. You are definitely setup correctly for the conditions. There's nothing like camping in the winter with a beautiful rig. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thank you! Im so glad you liked it! Thank you for the support!
I echo many of the great comments. You are doing it, and doing it well. I watch Steve who is lucky to live there. He has 25 yrs on you !
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
I love the idea of being able to camp and still get around in that early winter type weather like that and I think you have one of the better setups for doing just that. So jealous.
Thank you! That's the exact reason we got it, it's super nimble and easy to drive, and great in pretty much every season!
Great video! That camera went through a rough time because that idiot.I'm sure that cost that peron a couple of dollars to replace or repair their gear. I like Steve's video as well. Thanks for bringing us along...
I’m so glad you liked it! And I’m sure it did! Thank you for watching and the support!
Beautifully filmed, I really hope I get to return someday after watching this!
Thank you so much! I hope you do!
Stunning! Absolutely stunning!
Thank you SO much! Thank you for watching!
First time seeing your content.... 27 seconds in and I'm totally hooked. Subbed!
Thank you so much!!! 🙌🏻
Wow, spectacular imagery!! What a great experience with the Moose, awesome job!
Thanks so much!
Great footage! Heading that way tomorrow!!
Oh my gosh, I am so jealous. Have a great time!
Wow what a great video. It was so funny! The moose that was scratching his back looked like he gave himself a shiver.😂 ❤❤❤
Thanks mom! Maybe he did haha
Thanks for taking us along, it was enjoyable. Having spent several days in Jasper National Park, at the end of this past September with several moose, the only thing missing was the snow which would have added to the experience. Thanks again.
Thanks so much! Im so glad you liked it!
Nice work, keep 'em coming!
Thank you!!
Excellent work, looking forward to seeing more from a fellow ethnical wildlife photographer/videographer.
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching!
wow , very nice Video in profeshenell Quality . Thats all what we want in the wild Nature !!! Regards from Germany Niko
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Love your video! Is there any chance that you can tell me where this place is? I am in Japan but I always want to visit grand Teton and take some photos of moose! Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you for watching! It’s near Jackson, Wyoming in the US. You will Love it!
Really enjoyed watching this video. Great job capturing the moose and goats. I know moose (and buffalo) can be frustrating as they spend a lot of time grazing and not looking up. Really good editing and the music was spot on.
Thanks so much Randy! I really appreciate that! It was a lot of sitting and waiting for sure haha. Thanks for watching!
Great video Josh. Very nice footage and you gotta love the numbskulls doing the stupid while you're out in the field.
Thank you so much! Im so glad you liked it! And it's VERY frustrating at times! Im hoping to head up to your neck of the woods in the near future!
It is so beautiful there. ☺️
It is! Thanks for watching!
Very enjoyable video. Great footage, nice music. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching!
oh man, fantastis shots! I plan to visit Wyoming/Montana next year for at least 3 weeks, I felt wonderful there in 2022, but this time I'd focus on wildlife
Thank you! 3 weeks is a good amount of time! Good luck!
Amazing videography! Well done and the music fit really well!!
Thanks so much!
Great work! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic content. Keep it up
Thanks so much for watching!
We randomly met Steve in the Tetons a few years ago. We were watching his videos on our drive over and then when we were looking for Grizzlies we ran into him. He was so nice and was excited people recognized him 😂
He’s a great guy! Thanks for sharing!
Love your channel man!!! Great video and audio quality! Great shots of Hoback, my favorite moose! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching!
Awesome video!
Thank you SO much!
Awesome video Josh!
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for this beautiful serene video. You've got a new subscriber! I'm also wildlife photographer (no videos for me) and I'm curious to know if you were using a 600mm f4?
Thank you for subscribing! I actually use a 400mm 2.8. I personally think it’s perfect for me, because I can add a 1.4 teleconverter to get to 560mm, or a 2X to get to 800mm
@@FoxandFir Thank you. Amazing work!
Beautiful images!!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic Josh! I love the snow and how it plays against the mountains and grassland. The animals are the best. I will give you a shout out for calling out the people who don't get that they are a guest in the wilderness. Too bad the moose did not go all bonkers on that camera. The owner deserves it. Respect the animals. Thank you again and I can't wait for the next installment.
Thanks dad! Im so glad you liked it!
Great job capturing raw nature, keep up the good work Josh
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!
Fantastic footage! ❤
Thank you so much! ✌️
Hey man. Just wanted to say I very much enjoy watching your videos. I know they are a ton of work and require a lot of time to make, so I appreciate it!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support, and YES! it is a ton of work haha.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing! What backpack are you using?
Thanks Hector! Thats a FstopGear Sukha!
I really enjoyed this video. Great work. Greetings from western Norway 🙂
Thank you so much! Thank you for watching!
Bring some of that snow home with you, please! Lol
Bro, I wish. Im about to sell that Ariens 😂
Hi Josh,
New here to your channel and I've got to say that was a pleasure to watch, great editing skills and some lovely photography! Well done on highlighting the fact that some photographers just can't get close enough to the subject! Not only do they put themselves at risk they also put a great deal of stress and strain on the wildlife at a particularly hard time of the year! You've also got a fantastic way of projecting yourself on camera and it's going to be a joy to follow your work!
Moose I've yet to see let alone photograph so that's on the list for me coming from the UK to Canada, well done on the great video and best of luck going forward in 2024.
all the best Rich 👍
Hi Richard! Thanks so much for watching! And I TOTALLY agree with you! A lot of people need to learn that them getting their "perfect" shot, should not require the animal ever being stressed about your presence. I really appreciate all of the kind words, and thank you so much for watching!
Love the footage and what an awesome day! Would also love to see some of your stills you got on this day (like Steve does at the end of his vids!) Also would love to know more about some of your gear... maybe listed in the description. Thanks again for the great content and keep it coming!! Hopefully one day someone will be as excited to meet you as you were Steve, talk about full circle!
Thank you so much! I haven't found a way to incorporate stills that I really like yet, everything feels choppy and kind of kills the pacing. I have been working on it, but in the meantime I do have a Instagram that I post stills to! I have also been thinking about doing a "what's in my bag video", so maybe you convinced me to finally do I haha. I really appreciate such kind words! It really does mean a lot to me! Thank you for watching!
@@FoxandFir for sure, dude! I’ve really enjoyed your vids and I’m just getting (back) into photography. Just trying to soak up all the information and TH-cam content I can find. Your stuff has really stood out along with Steve’s. I’ll hunt you down on IG and follow you there, too 💪🏼
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that! I was considering doing a "wildlife photography masterclass" TH-cam series on all the information in my brain haha.
@@FoxandFir Heck yeah, man! I'd check that out for sure!
$20k in equipment that the moose is found of.
Well done video
That moose obviously wanted it more than they did 😂 Thank you!
@foxandfir what gloves do you shoot with?
I use The Heat Company gloves. I just cut the finger tips off myself 😂
I Agree With Your Moose Statement About Respecting Them And All , I Just Don’t Think We Are Guests In Nature, Or At least For Myself I Think We Belong There With Your Point Of Respecting Those Other Animals. I Subscribed 🍻
We’ve unfortunately divorced ourselves from nature long ago - especially those who think we have dominion over it.
@@garyverstick1620 That’s Also A True Statement For Most , I Personally Still Feel Connected And More At Home In Nature . But More Videos Like This Is Needed For Sure.
I totally agree, but when we are in the presence of animals, I belive that we should look at it as "that animal is allowing us to be there, to share this moment with it". Thank you so much for watching!
Hello Josh! Ooh, how I love moose, they are so beautiful and funny! Thank you very much for such wonderful shots!
1) Please tell me, what brand of mittens are you wearing at 7:08? I also want to find warm ones for myself, so that I can also use my fingers.
2) At 13:03 strong winds are blowing. What kind of tripod and head do you use so that the footage doesn’t shake in such a strong wind? I use a Sony FX30 + Sigma 150-600mm, but a cheap tripod with a head and my footage is jerky, so I want to find and buy a more stable option :).
Thanks so much for watching! Im so glad you liked it!
1. The Heat Company! They are amazing, and I cant say enough good things about them. They are on the pricey side, and I cut off the finger tips myself haha, but totally worth it!
2. So, my tripod and head are not that great. I spent a lot of time stablizing the footage later. I am going to be getting a new tripod and head today actually! That will hopefully solve my issues. Ill be doing a full review on them in the next couple weeks, so stay tuned!
@@FoxandFir Thanks for the reply. I will definitely watch your video about the tripod and head). I also want to buy them in the very near future.
I need to ask…. What were those plastic pieces you put under your tires ?
Great video !!
Hi Mike! Those are MaxTrax. They have two purposes, the first is a recovery board if I get stuck in mud, snow, sand, etc. They will give me traction. The second (What I mostly use them for) is leveling me out at camp so I can get the camper as level as possible!
GREAT VIDEO!! I'm new to your channel so forgive me if you've covered this...but what kind of rubber boots are you wearing? I'm heading to Yellowstone in February and are in need of some warm waterproof boots.... Thanks!
Thanks Brian! They are Lacrosse Alphaburly Pro, and they are fantastic! Super super comfy, and really warm! Wear 2 pair of socks too, like a thin layer and then a thick layer. You will be super toasty!
Great video, and really enjoyed watching all of your footage, you have an excellent eye for detail. Funny, as I was watching your video, I was going to ask here in the Comment Section, whether you happened to run into Steve Mathias...lo and behold around the 18 min mark you mentioned running into him and also it was good to hear he is as nice a guy as he is in his YT videos. I don't know him, but watch a lot of his videos and learn a lot. One thing wanted to mention, I really like how you include clips of yourself as your walking around looking for that next spot...it shows not only how much you enjoy what you are doing, but that it is hard work too, weathering the weather, snow flurries, etc. Anyway, thanks again for doing these videos, as I know they are a lot of work devoting countless hours in the editing room!
I forgot to mention, love your camper setup, really cool, got everything you need!
Hi Steve! Thank you so much for such a nice message! I try very hard to show the realistic aspects of wildlife photography, the good and bad! So thank you for mentioning that! And thank you! The camper has been really good for us, and has really allowed me to do trips I otherwise wouldn't have been able to do! Thank you for watching!
Really, really stupendous footage. Your technique and approach to your craft is beyond words. The music fit the environment and mood of the day, well done. The way you were able to slice the depth of field was a thing of beauty. Not sure how long the edits took to put all this together, but I really hope that you keep going so we can continue to enjoy ourselves through your art. It's amazing. Well Done! Congratulations! I hope you get a million views on this one!
Question: What camera are you using to capture your selfie shots?
Thanks Shawn! I really apprecaite it! Im so glad that you liked it, and I really apprecaite all of the support! I use a Canon R5 and a Canon RF 15-35 2.8 for my vlogging camera!
What backpack do you have? looking for the right one for my telephoto... like how yours zips open from the other side
So my backpack is a F-Stop Gear Sukha. You will need the backpack, plus the insert that works best for your gear. They are not cheap, but totally worth it! @fstopgearOfficial
Aye thank you appreciate the response. Fantastic work by the way - ill be back there in June for more photography and you're videos inspire!@@FoxandFir
Really nice content and storytelling. However I do have one critique. It feels like your white balance is to warm out in the snow with those moose.
👍
Great footage! Where did you stay overnight when you were out there?I’ve been out west twice with my van and am always curious where everybody else stays? Thanks!
Thank you! I almost always stay in national forests!
@@FoxandFir same here! I didn’t know if you had any other places! Thanks!!!
Nah, Just right outside the park. I dont like venturing too far off, because then it takes me longer to get back into the park haha.
This shit is awesome. Subscribed. Do you shoot this wildlife video in raw or in camera color? It looks awesome. - Geoff
🙌 Thank you! I apprecaite the support! You are totally correct, the Wildlife footage is all shot in Raw! the files are HUGE, but id rather have the flexability with color later! thank you!
@@FoxandFir it is beautiful. I love your color grading on that. I want you to show me how to achieve that natural but nice color like that.
Thanks so much! Im working on a series of educational videos (First one comes out tomorrow), and if the response is good to it, I want to cover a lot of video + editing things, so stay tuned! @@Colorado4x4
@@FoxandFir that would be rad. This is the best that I can do with color grading at this point th-cam.com/video/0OpWt1BPWO8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NuMMwEFQm_aMErCs
Another great video. Congratulations! I’ve seen a moose for the first time earlier this year in Canada. They’re amazing. We won’t get tired of them.
One question, perhaps a silly one: on your video thumbnail you’re wearing some sort of cammo equipment on your chest, what is it for? Do you strap your camera to it?
Have a great 2024
Greetings from Brazil. Perhaps some day you can come see our jaguars
Thank you so much! The camp thing on my chest is a holder for my binoculars! It keeps the snow from getting all over them! And then on my waist I have a hand warmer! I would LOOOOOVE to see the Jaguars! Happy New Year to you!
Wonderful footage. Crazy how so many people have no respect for wildlife just for a stupid photo or video. I see so many people even using drones in protected restricted national refuges. Pisses me off.
Thank you! I totally agree, the unethical behavior by wildlife photographers is getting ridiculous…
Hey man, random question, what grey sweater are you wearing in this vid?
It’s a handmade sweater from Iceland! I got it from the Hand knitting association of iceland!
@@FoxandFir awesome thanks for sharing info and beautiful footage. All the best that side.
Do you have a link to that backpack? TIA! :)
Sure do! fstopgear.com/sukha-70l-adventure-and-outdoor-camera-backpack/
This is exactly the reason why I do not participate in any collective workshops. There's always going to be some idiot.
I don’t either, this wasn’t a workshop, and just normal people out there to take photos unfortunately
Annoying music
You're aware you can just stop watching right?
Beautiful
Thank you!
