From Kraig's music soundtracks to his blending of music and hiking sounds, to his still-shot compositions, to his drone footage, to his lighting, to his impeccable taste in the trails he hikes- EVERY PART of his content shows high level artistic taste. You're a true artist, Kraig.
Yess! Amazing video as always Kraig. I'm a huge fan of yours and have been watching your videos for many months. I finally got motivated to make my own hiking video inspired by you. Would mean a lot if everyone could check it out and Subscribe to me small channel :) Thanks! th-cam.com/video/fMCJ33bh17s/w-d-xo.html
Nice job Kraig, really enjoy your videos...one thing tho, your tent sucks. I think you would find a quality "mid" style shelter to be lighter and more weather proof.
Great videos. But even better cause our dogs are greeting you at 13:30ish, and 21.ish And hubby n I on horses. What a treat. Our friends saw the video and called us . Boston Terriers are the most friendly.. But I love your videotography. Artistic and story telling in its quiet beauty. New subscriber
Honestly, I loved the fact that you didn't put any music on this one. It's absolutly perfect like that ! Your mic does an incredible job at capturing the sounds of nature
I think this video is the best formula for your films. 1.Peaceful and quiet hike scenes. 2.Have fun in your explanation/ad break. The juxtaposition of the two half’s are broken up nicely and keeps the audience engaged. Thank you for your work, it’s great!!
Whether it be a test, a job, life in general, or my boyfriend being gone to boot camp, your videos bring peace of mind. They allow me to breathe and relax when nothing else can, your videos do more than you think, never stop. Thank you so much
Hands down the most beautiful hiking video I’ve ever seen- and that’s many. I’m saving this puppy for bad days as an attitude adjustment! God’s handiwork. Magnificent job young man. Your trail name should be Thunder calves
Matt Mancini I would plan where you’re trying to stay ahead of time for sure then and look at the satellite map on AllTrails. Up in the high altitude alpine zone (which is where we stayed) the trees get super small/weak.
Kraig, Thank you for you vids brother. Being diagnosed with GAD this past year has been tough. But you make it much better for me. Please know that these videos have meaning and purpose to me. Be safe wherever you go. From HouTex.
Yes! Just walk away from the damn virus :-) One week from now I'm starting a 9-day hike in the Swiss Alps, it will be tough but I know I'll enjoy every minute of it

Gotta watch out for the virus though ;) Numbers are rising here in Switzerland as well and I'm sorry to say that Swiss people aren't the most disciplined when it comes to social distancing
I've been watching all of your videos for over and a year and keeping tabs on where you go because I would like to do it someday. This summer I got the chance to build my own camper, and will not set out west to hike and live the life that I have been dreaming of. Your videos have been a big inspiration and have fueled my wanderlust.
Washingten is soooo awesome with that flowers. Can't wait to travel someday to there to hike around Mt Rainier, Adams and Helens. And of course cant wait to see the hiking videos of you there as well .Thx for sharing.
Thanks for hitting up our state! You are an inspiration for me to go out and explore more of the wonderful trail out here! Keep it up, love to see your content!
From the clinking of the shale to the crunching of the snow to the swirling sound of the wind. Your presentation transports me to this beautiful place that seems like a dream. Thanks for doing this.
I don't know why but, listening to the enviroment and your steps , is way more relaxing and immersive than listening to piano music in the background. Love your videos my dude! Keep the amazing work. God Bless ya!

Kraig, awesome as usual. Two things: agree with starting hike later. We have been hiking the Sierra's for years. We now ONLY start hiking at dusk, into the night. No bugs, people, cooler. It is easy once your eyes adjust. Second: your creek crossing. TIP: Always look ahead to the shoreline. NEVER down. Try it! Seems a bit counterintuitive but it works to keep steady progress.
Love that your traveling the states and checking out different areas. I'm born and raised in Washington so its awesome to see you enjoying some hikes out here!!
The first 13 mins felt so intimate and blissfully minimalistic cuz of your decision to just use the sound that your camera/mic has captured! Another great one Craig :)
Spectacular, surrounded by beautiful pine trees, mountains and flower fields and tranquil lakes, my gosh...that's one of my dreams,truly 💚 Edit: and with dogs too..perfect.
Everyone of your videos is so thoughtfully put together, I have so much respect for the time and energy you’ve obviously put into your craft. I love your trail videos man. Would love for you to be able to experience what we have on offer down here in Australia mate!
You're really brave man!. Forged by the elements, ur a beast dude!These vids are so beautiful and raw , you're a beast hiker and an even better filmmaker/person. I know it gets cold and lonely dude out there voyaging those distances and traversing those mystical Godlike mountains....so just letting u know your vids touch us and we always are thinking about you dude!

That you've used hardly any music is great, the natural sounscape gives me a better sense of 'being there'. My top favourite of your projects so far, fantastic.
I have been isolating with covid the last few days and I have to say your videos have been a lifesaver Kraig,the cinematography and your view of the world is breathtaking,along with the music you choose,they really are a joy to watch...keep doing what you’re doing Kraig! Alan..Northern Ireland
Love all your vids bud. I get excited for the next vid an I can't wait to see more of your trips. Thanks to this channel, it makes me wanna put my steps in. Keep on keeping on!
This video was absolutely beautiful to watch, Kraig! This video and a strong cup of coffee was exactly what I needed this morning! Cheers to your next adventure man!

That was fantastic!! great job Kraig. You've gained a new member and follower. Thanks for inspiring and promoting nature. I love the way you put us (the viewers) back to basics. Please decrease the use of plastic bags and use recyclable. Thank you!!
Thank you for the content. I was inspired by your Sawtooth Mountain hike to go on my own solo hike at Golden Ears. It is also calming to just watch your videos during my exam season. Keep it up!
Never been more glad about the fact of "ringing a bell" months ago. As always awesome work and inspiration you're spreading into the world, my boy! Thank you so much for that and I truly hope to be able to meet you one day, and maybe do some kind of "collab", when I will be worthy. Much love, Kraig! ❤
this video is very excellent Kraig. very beautiful scenery. I'm always waiting for your next video. and i hope i can make a video like that tomorrow, on mountain indonesia. thanks love it so much ..
i really like that you didn't put any music in this one and just put a little at the end , its very nice, you can feel the silence from the place , i like it when there is music too, its just a nice change of pace, great videos !!!!!!
You got such amazing weather and great shots. That hike is insanely beautiful. There is nothing about rainier national park that isn’t stunning. I grew up out there. I miss it. The fog there is world famous. But it burns off. And honestly I love the fog too. Your shot from the ridge line of Adams and rainier was surreal. Makes the mountains look like they were floating. It gets super windy out there. You need to be as low of elevation as possible to avoid it. But then no real views. Lol. Lots of horses up there too. Hope you enjoyed your time up there. Thanks for posting. I really want to go on that trail. Every time I see someone film goat rocks it makes me want to go.
If there was a soundtrack to these videos (which I wouldn't recommend - your signature style of beautiful landscapes that sing for themselves is gorgeous) then it might be Cat Steven's 'I love my dog'. Seriously though, these are terrific - there are no other videos I save for watching on a huge smart TV. Anything less doesn't do them justice. Love your work Kraig - I hope it brings you as much pleasure as it does your audience.
Hey Kraig. Love your videos, thanks for the beautiful images. You’re showing off some of Washington’s best spots, but I was pretty disappointed seeing you camp twice on top of alpine meadow vegetation. We have a LOT of people hiking here that aren’t taking proper care to leave no trace. It’d be great to see you set a better example with your platform.
Oh my word, that is a beautiful trail. It's a photographers dream.
So true
From Kraig's music soundtracks to his blending of music and hiking sounds, to his still-shot compositions, to his drone footage, to his lighting, to his impeccable taste in the trails he hikes- EVERY PART of his content shows high level artistic taste. You're a true artist, Kraig.
Let’s all give a round of applause for kraig’s calf muscles.....those things are gnarly
Truly a spectacle of a generation.
That's what is keeping me away from trekking 😕😕
Yess! Amazing video as always Kraig. I'm a huge fan of yours and have been watching your videos for many months. I finally got motivated to make my own hiking video inspired by you. Would mean a lot if everyone could check it out and Subscribe to me small channel :) Thanks!

Nice job Kraig, really enjoy your videos...one thing tho, your tent sucks. I think you would find a quality "mid" style shelter to be lighter and more weather proof.
they're actually magnificent lol
The upside down shot /water reflection shot was great.
a hidden gem in the video
I came here to comment the same thing. Glad I'm not the only one
9:57 for those wondering
Yes I love those edits
It was clever & nice!
Great videos. But even better cause our dogs are greeting you at 13:30ish, and 21.ish And hubby n I on horses. What a treat. Our friends saw the video and called us . Boston Terriers are the most friendly..
But I love your videotography. Artistic and story telling in its quiet beauty. New subscriber
so nice meeting all of you
"And you're on youtube?" then goes home and binge watches all Kraig Adams videos :-)
You're in my state! I'm hiking around Mt Rainier today, a small hike on Tolmie Peak! I'm watching this video before I leave to inspire myself!
Wow! That reflection shot was fantastic, great job!
I don't get the same vibe as I do when the music is present. Helped me relax and soak it all in.
Turns out, i did not miss the music at all. Huh. Thanks as always Kraig. Beautiful!
The lake shot at 9:53 is absolutely inspiring. Incredible video as always.
That shot of your reflection in the water as you walked by was brilliantly done!
Honestly, I loved the fact that you didn't put any music on this one. It's absolutly perfect like that ! Your mic does an incredible job at capturing the sounds of nature

At the end of the year Kraig should do a compilation of himself walking away from the camera in various locations
Halfway through & i fell asleep, just tells how calming your video is
During the covid times, the thing that you do is priceless for me and my 6 years old son who loves nature as much as me. Regards and loves bro.
Did this loop myself a couple years back, thanks for bringing back the memories. Still looks just as incredible.
Thinking of doing this loop Monday-Wednesday. Is it easily camped with a hammock? I figure in WA that’s a yes haha
Matt Mancini I would plan where you’re trying to stay ahead of time for sure then and look at the satellite map on AllTrails. Up in the high altitude alpine zone (which is where we stayed) the trees get super small/weak.
Jordan Green thanks for the info! Appreciate it
Always a pleasure to see you pop up in my feed!
Kraig, Thank you for you vids brother.

You have no idea how much I love your videos
I was up at Rainier yesterday, we've been having the most amazing weather this summer and I'm so grateful to have Mount Rainier to look at everyday!
Yes! Just walk away from the damn virus :-) One week from now I'm starting a 9-day hike in the Swiss Alps, it will be tough but I know I'll enjoy every minute of it
OMG me too :D. Tour de Mont blanc?
AnimeVideoEditor nope, somewhere deep in the Graubunden canton 😎

Those panoramas ... large multi flower bud in cream, dreamy fields where they are! Great list of gear! Thanks from a Canadian fan!
Washingten is soooo awesome with that flowers. Can't wait to travel someday to there to hike around Mt Rainier, Adams and Helens. And of course cant wait to see the hiking videos of you there as well .Thx for sharing.
Thanks for hitting up our state! You are an inspiration for me to go out and explore more of the wonderful trail out here! Keep it up, love to see your content!
thank you so much for letting us enjoy how quiet that place is instead of adding music to your video
From the clinking of the shale to the crunching of the snow to the swirling sound of the wind. Your presentation transports me to this beautiful place that seems like a dream. Thanks for doing this.
I don't know why but, listening to the enviroment and your steps , is way more relaxing and immersive than listening to piano music in the background.
Love your videos my dude! Keep the amazing work. God Bless ya!
Really digging this ultra minimal sound design, no music vibe.
That being said, his music selection is always excellent and they're also great
gokucrazy22 very true, Kraig always has tasteful music selection.
Yess! Amazing video as always Kraig. I'm a huge fan of yours and have been watching your videos for many months. I finally got motivated to make my own hiking video inspired by you. Would mean a lot if everyone could check it out and Subscribe to me small channel :) Thanks!
th-cam.com/video/fMCJ33bh17s/w-d-xo.html
The sounds when you're walking on the scree fields >>>>>
Kraig, awesome as usual.
Two things: agree with starting hike later. We have been hiking the Sierra's for years. We now ONLY start hiking at dusk, into the night. No bugs, people, cooler. It is easy once your eyes adjust.
Second: your creek crossing. TIP: Always look ahead to the shoreline. NEVER down. Try it! Seems a bit counterintuitive but it works to keep steady progress.
My morning coffee taste sooooo much better with these hard work videos! Thank you, be well !
Love that your traveling the states and checking out different areas. I'm born and raised in Washington so its awesome to see you enjoying some hikes out here!!
The first 13 mins felt so intimate and blissfully minimalistic cuz of your decision to just use the sound that your camera/mic has captured! Another great one Craig :)
Spectacular, surrounded by beautiful pine trees, mountains and flower fields and tranquil lakes, my gosh...that's one of my dreams,truly 💚
Edit: and with dogs too..perfect.
So calming, as if I too went to a long walk. Thank you.
Excellent video. It's nice to have a video with no music and just appreciate the sounds of nature and your footsteps.
That lake shot, wow! Amaze! Love those alpine flowers.
Your videos have inspired me to start hiking, can’t thank you enough. Keep doing what ur doing bro, your mind is incredibly unique
20:58 amazing time-lapsed photography of cloud formations! Thanks!
Subscribe to Yosemite Prepper | prepper channel | I'm a fan 😅
The reflection shot around 10:00 was really well done. Keep up the great work Kraig!
4k is so epic....thanks for making such high quality videos.
The perfect time of year for that hike with all those flowering plants!
That cloud inversion at 11:54 is soooo pretty
Beautiful video. Great scenery.
Loved the no music it’s so calming without all the music speacially all the nature sounds truly beautiful! Thankyou for sharing this so raw ^-^
Love the shot of your reflection in the water. This is now a bucket list trail. Thanks for the content!
I can’t get enough of these Craig, they are beautiful, relaxing, the sound is amazing. Keep it up my friend.
Everyone of your videos is so thoughtfully put together, I have so much respect for the time and energy you’ve obviously put into your craft. I love your trail videos man. Would love for you to be able to experience what we have on offer down here in Australia mate!
19:23 now we know where Santa goes during summer 😊 beautiful hike again Kraig! Thanks for the inspiration to start our own channel

I'm loving all of the "bloopers" at the end of your videos. Your sense of humor is the best 😂
Wow, absolutely beautiful! I found the mists in the mountains especially enchanting!
This is a very well-made video of a trek through some VERY beautiful country. Thanks for sharing the adventure. 😎💙💛
Another great experience and video Kraig.
Ahhh, I loved this hike ... amazing views, beautiful wildflowers especially a treat to see bear grass. Thanks for the posting.
Love all your vids bud. I get excited for the next vid an I can't wait to see more of your trips. Thanks to this channel, it makes me wanna put my steps in. Keep on keeping on!
5 mins and this one is already my favorite. Best one yet, cheers Kraig
“A lot of dogs, a lot of people” I see where your priorities are and I like it
This video was absolutely beautiful to watch, Kraig! This video and a strong cup of coffee was exactly what I needed this morning! Cheers to your next adventure man!
From start to finish, every second of this video is a delight 😌 As always, thank you Kraig!
Seriously Kraig one of your most outstanding Hikes mate... so frustrating watch your videos from Australia and I just love the PNW.
As a cyclist (in the city) noon is ideal ... glad to hear you mention this.
Super beautiful hike all around. Thanks Kraig.
Subscribe to Yosemite Prepper | prepper channel | I'm a fan 😅
Awesome Video, again.
Pure Nature, no talking, no Music, only the Wind whispers....
Thanks for making the Video.
Greetings from Germany.

Washington breaks my heart wide open! Will never forget the first time I cowboy camped on Rainier. I’m definitely going back 💚
no music at all. dannnng. crazy how much your mic can pick up.

Mesmerizing.... Wow... Such a beauty I love wilderness....
Absolutely excellent! Thank you for these routine videos that are always of consistently exceptional standard
Perfect, as always. Keep them coming Kraig. Always looking for another of your videos to pop up (skipping no adds, watching till the end).
I love your videos man, I'm quadriplegic and now I travel with you. Thanks, God bless you !!!!
That was fantastic!! great job Kraig. You've gained a new member and follower. Thanks for inspiring and promoting nature. I love the way you put us (the viewers) back to basics. Please decrease the use of plastic bags and use recyclable. Thank you!!
Love how the sounds from the next shot are heard before the visual cut. Nice.
Thank you for the content. I was inspired by your Sawtooth Mountain hike to go on my own solo hike at Golden Ears. It is also calming to just watch your videos during my exam season. Keep it up!
What an amazing hike. Wow 40 miles is a lot for me. sounds like a great time. this is awesome. thanks for sharing. take care my friend
Never been more glad about the fact of "ringing a bell" months ago.
As always awesome work and inspiration you're spreading into the world, my boy!
Thank you so much for that and I truly hope to be able to meet you one day, and maybe do some kind of "collab", when I will be worthy.
Much love, Kraig! ❤
5:22 is just simply enchanting. Wow!
this video is very excellent Kraig. very beautiful scenery. I'm always waiting for your next video. and i hope i can make a video like that tomorrow, on mountain indonesia. thanks love it so much ..
I'm not really sure why watching someone hike without anything extra is now my new favorite thing on TH-cam... but it is.
i really like that you didn't put any music in this one and just put a little at the end , its very nice, you can feel the silence from the place , i like it when there is music too, its just a nice change of pace, great videos !!!!!!
Beautiful. These wild flowers, great views... beautiful
That's a pretty amazing range of geography / scenery for 'just' 40 miles; beautifully shot & Thanks for sharing.
You always find the most beautiful trails!
You got such amazing weather and great shots. That hike is insanely beautiful. There is nothing about rainier national park that isn’t stunning. I grew up out there. I miss it.

Keep going north, you have to get into the PNW trail up to Mt Baker
I know a channel you may like. It's a prepping channel: Yosemite Prepper
My goodness the shots you got!
I seriously apreciate these videos thankyou kraig
Thank you for sharing such amazing places! God is good.😉👍
Hey Kraig. Love your videos, thanks for the beautiful images.

We have a LOT of people hiking here that aren’t taking proper care to leave no trace. It’d be great to see you set a better example with your platform.
Loved it! What a beauty!!! Thank you for sharing such an awesome trail! Thanks for the flower 🌸 at the end!🤗
It must be so hard to come back again and again for the Camera.. You make it look effortless! *Inspired* by your work 🙏🏾
goat rocks is my favorite hike in washington. i did the enchantments 3 times thanks to your video. met a ton of great people.
Beautiful scenery and flowers
