Superb video Chris. Again, you've captured the beautiful mountains which gives us the peace and solitude that we desire when walking off into the mist. Having seen footage of all those numptys queuing to touch the trig point on Snowdon I somehow feel they're missing the point. Carry on with your ventures, and silence can be golden. Take care, Simon, Somerset.
Thanks Simon. Definitely much about the peace and solitude for me too! Each to their own on the queuing thing, I’m baffled, but each to their own. If it pleases them. And we sure do need the tourism! As someone pointed out to me recently and I noticed, there have been an awful lot of G wagons and Tesla’s parked up recently. I hope that money trickles down somehow. All the best mate, thanks for commenting
Enjoyed that Chris, excellent video yet again, great editing as usual , gonna do a wild camp on Glyder Fawr this weekend can’t wait to get back up to Snowdonia ATB Mark 👌👍😁
Morning Chris, another superb video as always. You have a gift there sir in capturing the atmosphere in ‘them there hills’. Good to watch. All the best, GJ
Hey Chris! I have been quietly following your channel & watching your videos for quite a while now and I must say just how much I enjoy your films and the way you are able to tell a story from start to finish without speaking a single word. Just for the record tho, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your pieces to camera ( the fact you was able to do a piece to camera for a good number of minutes without a single stumble or slip up stands testament to this - it can take me ten mins just to get a couple of sentences right! ) but for me I just prefer & love the way you are a able to tell a story entirely through images and ambient sound. You have something really unique & something to be really proud of! BTW Ogwen is usually my first place of choice for hiking & landscape photography Anyway Chris, keep up the excellent films! I am already looking forward to the next instalment :) ATB - Charles.
Thanks Charles, really appreciate those comments. The ambient sound is important to me, perhaps more important than the video. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, so always good to hear from people who value it. Thank you
Another quality video production Chris. Just got back from a wild camp up Elidir Fawr, Glyder Fawr is my next one. Would love to know where this spot is 🕵🏻♂️
There you are! Honestly mate, again, absolutely flawless video.* I follow so many outdoors / wild camping channels and yours outdoes everyone in terms of how you capture the moment, editing and ambience. You should be getting 100k’s views the videos are so good. I like the silence of the majority of the video - but also like you popping on and having a quick chat with tips (Kraig Adams style - mentioned this to you before). Hope the Japan trip was successful and you work your deadlift back up. Cheers, Si. *effectively flawless. Really should have been doing the rock pullups with your pack on 😎
Hahahaha. Could barely hike it up there at all, let alone wear it for pull ups 🤣 Maybe I should have emptied it and made it look full….? Great idea for next time. Thanks Simon, appreciate the kind comments. Great to read.
Great work Chris, good to see you back and out of isolation... Love the opening part.. Nice angles with the camera. The bit in the car a pretty impressive.. You must teach me 😬😁
Hey Chris, I'm new on your channel. And I'm very happy about that 🤠👍. Your videos area absolutely awesome and inspiring. I really like your videographic style. Very well done. And I sure like IPA, haha. Absolutely stunning footage! Hello from a new fan from Switzerland
@@chrishomer My pleasure. May I ask you, what camera gear you are using? I'm just upgrading mine and I like to chat about the experiences of other creators with their camera gear...
Great video, even better choice of beers. Loved the filming, beautifully done and gonna try and use those tips myself. Nothing worse than being unfit in those mountains is there haha, don't think I've ever felt fit enough in Snowdonia!
No way. Awesome. I think most people do the opposite on my channel. Subscribe for the old strength training and then unsubscribe to the hiking and nature stuff. So happy to have you here with shared interests! Cheers
Really enjoy these vids Chris, I admire your tenacity and ability to read the landscape. Do you have a military background? I too spend a lot of time studying maps and heading out to Wales, but I never camp, too old now I think! I have a damaged cartilage at the moment and your vids are inspiring me throughout my injured status. The no talking thing is very evocative.
Thanks Mike, appreciate that. I do have a bit of a thing for maps to be honest. Spent a lot of time in them for both pleasure and work, and yes some of that military. Hope you’re on the mend and can get out soon, with an overnight camp too! Never too old.
Always love your unique ideas! Love all the beer openings, man over my own heart 😂 I know EXACTLY how amazing g that must have felt walking out there after all that time in quarantine. It’s incredible enough after a few weeks! Loved the behind the scenes but you completely lost me 😂 I’m sure loads of people will benefit from you sharing your knowledge though 😃 I need to invest in a camera as I’m currently using my phone but it’s a minefield! Always helpful to see what other people use. Great vid and inspiring and thought provoking as always. Take care lovely! 😊
Amazing… and difficult. Really felt it. Must have been all the beer and McDonalds. Thanks. Not sure on the phone/camera thing, people are doing some ridiculously good things with phones these days. Amazing really
@@chrishomer noticed it. Especially those opening sequences - audio told the story on its own. Those Macdonald’s vouchers made me think of that film “supersize me”. Maybe a future project? ;-) gordon
After all those beers I didn't think you'd get to the hike and we'd just find you passed out in the yard. Another great video. How do you get those slow-moving camera shots at the beginning? Your chitchat was fine! You speak very well, much better than I. Also I don't blame you about the free McDonalds. Man wasn't made to fight such temptations.
Wouldn’t be the first time mate. 🤣 Used a slider in the intro. I do love a McDonalds. Sometimes I pretend not to, but you know how it is. Thanks and appreciated.
fantastic film making as always! behind the scenes bit is good, nice to have that extra dimension. have you been to the Rhingydd range? might be a nice change from these popular spots
Great video, love the opening sequences and camera work. The only thing I think you could of done differently (purely for the entertainment of your viewers) was when you were making your way up through the mud. I think it was very inconsiderate of you not to have fallen face first in the mud! 😂😂 👍
Glad to have you back sir, worth the wait, your content is always dynamic. Was wondering if you were gonna swap your trusty Pot Noodle for a U.F.O. Ogwen Valley is always crazy now since the staycation revolution. Litter on the mountains is getting worse too. I found a bottle of champagne and some M&S salmon flakes on Crib Goch last month! Teslas and G-Wagons all over Snowdonia these days. If you're struggling with quarantine/hotel fitness, check out Iron Wolf on TH-cam. Peace out man!
Well, you can be sure the champagne and anything from M&S wasn’t mine! 🤣 I once lost a chocolate bar wrapper In the wind on the Carneddau and felt so guilty I went looking for other people litter to take back…. UFO…. Incredibly good I thought. Loved them. Had mixed feelings on how busy I’ve heard it has been. Just hope some of that Tesla owner cash filters down to local tourism. Thanks. As always!
As ever, setting the bar very high and giving all us half arsed outdoor Kubriks a standard to aspire to Chris. The storyboarding, photography, editing, and yes, acting in the early scenes - all superb stuff. The tips very much appreciated too. Chuckled at the 'is that a morning brew or a morning tinkle?' j-cut , which I trust was entirely intentional. 😅 Cheers. Rich.
Thank you. I think you’re referring to the intro shots? They’re sometimes on a slider, it’s a GVM, the link to it is in the description and I did include it in a load of the behind the scenes stuff once, the hammock camping video.
Yes mate I have a couple of sliders, don’t use them much other than in the intro to this one. With lots of time on my hands while trying to make drinking beer and looking at OS maps interesting… 🤣 Should use them more really.
@@chrishomer the weather in Miami, especially between April through October can be finicky. Rain shower can pop up in a moments notice. My camera is not waterproof neither is my phone...phone is called "water resistant" so it's OK if it's in a light rain for a couple of minutes, but here in Miami we don't get light rains...we get tropical downpours...I minute it's not raining the next it's coming down in buckets
Love it mate. I’ve got two. Don’t own much branded stuff at all. In fact I avoid it, but love Buffalo. Ridiculously good IMO, and underrated or unknown by many.
Yes mate a slider. I have a couple and should really use them more for stuff like this but they’re a pain in the backside. Other than that they’re great. Might take one hiking some time. Cheers
Not bad, but nothing special either! I thought of you guys the other day, I was thinking of a name for my newest video, hammock camping in the woods during autumn and the name “finding autumn” came to me.
@@chrishomer And very nice to end with the behind the scene part and some talking. Oh about autumn, I fear we passed the peak around here, trees are starting to seriously lose their leaves
Awesome as usual Chris, but the comment I'm Pretty unfit...u having a laugh. All the way up there and then pull ups on the cantilever stone. 🥵 also did u make the sausage you were cooking look like a real penis on purpose 😂. When I get to your fitness level (which is never 😂) I'd have to call myself that too fit bloke. 😉 all the best mate, paul. Ps, try get on the next dave outdoors camp, it was a laugh 😃
The route up kicked my arse…. The pull ups were done by a body double. I was sat on the rocks with an ale and a pot noodle…. And importantly, I think the sausage penis says more about you than it does me 🤣 Haha thanks. I will
Thanks for watching. Consider buying me a Pot Noodle... www.buymeacoffee.com/chrishomer
Mate - this isn't a video - this is pure ART ! If you ever fancy a camp pal - email me - outstanding work.
Cheers Chris. Really appreciate that mate.
Some of the best filming and editing of this type of vid I've seen
Thanks Simon. Very kind. Appreciated
Not sure what i enjoy more. The beautiful scenery or the fine brews. Love the videos.
Hahahaha. Best to have both! Cheers Luke 👍

Chris, you're better at talking to the camera than you think! Love your style anyhow.
Thanks James. Appreciate that. Just tried a bit more recently 👍

Wonderful again. It's great!

Hi Corey, send a DM on IG or something and I’ll try to drag up a what 3 words
Epic video 👏

🤣 Cheers Phil. Appreciated.
Awesome!
Nice 1 mate
Good to see you out and about - good tips for the time lapse ( too advanced for me ) love your photo skills
Atb 👍🏽
Thanks Dave, appreciated. Will learn a lot from this attempt I hope
Another epic production! Roll on the next one 👌💪
Thanks mate. I hope so
Man..that was mint!! Good to see you back..you had me worried! Top work as always 👍👍 - Cheers Chris! T🙂
Cheers Tony. Bloody good to be back out!
These are the types of films we aspire to make... Both in quality and detail... You are a inspiration! Cheers atb James
Thanks James very kind. Many would say you’re already there
@@chrishomer haha it's just a shame most don't 😉
Great work Chris, good to see you back and out of isolation... Love the opening part.. Nice angles with the camera. The bit in the car a pretty impressive.. You must teach me 😬😁

So happy to have you here with shared interests! Cheers
@@chrishomer I was thinking where would I apply my newfound strength, I got the answer, vlogasm
@@vip-cw1st I'm quite fond of expressing my strength by hiking big bags full of crap up mountains.
Also, by opening jam jars and the like.

Over 12 mins before speaking Chris I nearly spat my coffee out haha MINT
