(Tim here) Dude!! You're all upping your game!! That intro was, dare I say STUNNING! The shorts are the EIGHTH wonder!! Seriously, great video. Scorpions were wild!!
Hey Tim! Thanks so much...I had a blast editing this one. I too liked the intro. I think I found the right music track to capture the feeling of first experiencing the canyon. It’s epic!! I learned that scorpion trick by watching other peoples videos. You learn so much on TH-cam 😂. I appreciate your support my friend. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
This video is fantastic. I love the educational parts, I think that is missing from most videos I watch. Not only do I want to see what the area has in the way of views, I also like to hear how a place came to be. I am always in awe of how our parks are built. How a boardwalk or bridge in the middle of nowhere came together. I am eternally grateful to those that put in the work so we can enjoy Mother Nature.
Thank you so much Amanda for the kind words. The history of our parks and wild places has always fascinated me and I love sharing this with my viewers. I think it increases the appreciation that we have for a place and my hope is that with increased appreciation comes stewardship. Despite the amount of people that visit the Grand Canyon it was one of the cleanest parks I have ever been to. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and support our channel. Trips and I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Thanks guys!!! This whole TH-cam thing is such a learning curve. We love the creative process and meeting such awesome people like yourselves! Can’t wait to hike with you!!
Thanks brutha!! Loved that slow motion shot of you at the beginning where I introduced you guys. That smile of yours sums up the trip....simply amazing! Memories for a lifetime my friend.
Loved Robs and Jeremy’s videos very much. Miyagi your camera work was excellent. Favorite was the night time stars. Great work. Thoroughly enjoyed excited for part 2.
one of the better videos ive seen. photography is excellent. Music is good. not offensive. narration was excellent. Congratulations! You have succeeded where others have failed. Haw !!
Wow! What an exceptionally well done and beautiful video! I thought I was doing a decent job but you have really upped the game. Simply amazing and well done! One of the best videos I have seen in a long time. I have a lot to learn, thank you for sharing.
The Grand Canyon is such an awesome and magical place. I appreciate the kind words my friend. My hope has always been to inspire others to have their own adventures...safely & having a ton of fun doing it by being prepared. Your words are inspiration for me. Thank you so much. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
I'm not sure how you one up yourself with each video but I'm enjoying it. Keep it up Bromosapien. Merry Christmas, may you and your's cup overfloweth with joy and EPIC new gear #drink
@@MiyagiontheTrail I bet it was! It's one thing to experience this hike, but to share this with your hiking friends is priceless. Your team will have memories for a lifetime! Excellent work on the filming, editing and narration. Great job!
OMG!! Epic video dude!! This has to be my favorite video you have posted...I actually felt like I was watching National Geographic in several sections...beautiful photos in the intro...great Astro videography/time lapse...my favorite was the ribbon falls video and the music you choose was perfect...such a beautiful place I really hope I get the chance to hike there someday!! Awesome glowing scorpions🦂
Awe thanks Braids!!! This one took me a bit to edit and post but I wanted to make sure that I did my best to capture the feeling of what it was actually like to be there. We say the word epic quite a bit in our videos and I can find no other word to describe the Grand Canyon. Thanks so much for your kind words and support. Trips and I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!! Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Woah Miyagi you truly have outdone yourself with this trip video!! Cannot believe how you capture some of those shots of the Canyon vistas you were blessed to see, really top notch quality. Really love how you educate us viewers about the trip as you go. What an an awesome adventure, can’t wait for part 2!!
Wow man you did an amazing job filming and editing. Can't wait for part two. It's been really cool seeing each of your perspectives. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words Joyce. Learning a bit about a place tends to give a person a greater appreciation for it. I admire these places just as much for their history as for their amazing scenery. Stay safe & Happy New year to come. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
Such a cool trip~ It is so beautiful there. Holy cow, you are right the views are epic. I loved watching your different perception of the trip than the others. Great video!!!
Thanks for explaining the differences between camp sites. I almost feel like I was there with you guys; you all did a great job of capturing your adventure but this vid really caps it off. Nice to see the prelude too.
Thanks so much Richard! I always keep in mind that my camera lens is a portal for others to see through my own eyes. My hope is to provide that inspiration for others who want to go out there and have their own adventures. I appreciate your support and encouragement. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
@@MiyagiontheTrail No kidding! I'll send you a private note and let you know the relation (don't want to do it on the interwebz/youtubez comments). Lots of hiking/backpacking in fantastic wilderness around here. Look me up if you want to come out.
This is an incredible video Myagai!! Love the scenery and that was a great group of friends to go with. Ribbon Falls was absolutely incredible!! I’ve always wanted to do this trail. Would you do it again with some Kentucky boys?? Myagai you are an excellent film maker. Incredible job!! Those scorpions was really cool. Was they glowing?? Can’t wait to see part 2 Merry Christmas to you and your family
This was pretty awesome for just part 1. I do think my idea for the title was a little catchier but whatcha gonna do right. 🤣 I do believe this is where I'm dragging my son next fall. Thanks Miyagi.
Your title choice was number #1 but the TH-cam police made me change it. 😂 😆 😝. Your son will love it! Friggin magical every step of the way. Thanks Mike!!
Amazing footage! I would love to get to the point of being physically capable of doing some hikes like this someday! I have a ways to go but I WILL get there. Awesome video, thanks for sharing!
Yes. It’s been a challenging edit and I’ve been delayed by career and family obligations. I promise it’s coming soon! 😊 thank you so much for your support and encouragement.
Great video. Looking forward to seeing it myself next year. Question. You had a hydration line coming out of your smart water bottle. Is that an osprey water line cut?
Hi Rick. The hydration line is from a company called SourceOutdoors.com. The product is the “Convertube Adapter” $24. I just shortened the tube length so the bite valve is in reach of my mouth while hiking and the bottle is mounted in my shoulder pouch. @waymarkgear has a similar product out now too. The “One Bottle Hydration System” looks similar at $29.
Hey Lynne! Sorry…just noticed I didn’t respond to this one. My apologies. The company I used was the Source Convertube Kit: amzn.to/3yrMZ8k. A cheaper option is available from Lixada:amzn.to/3Fckca8
Thanks Brent! For my pack I’m using two versions of the Waymark backpack 🎒. For anything less than a two day trip with ultralight gear I’m using the Waymark “Mile” backpack. For everything else I’ve been using the Waymark Gear Company’s “Thru UL 40 liter”. It’s got a super awesome harness system that doesn’t wear on my shoulders after 30+ miles on trail. Robust material and light enough that I’m not breaking the bank at all trying to stay as light as possible. I’m super happy with their pack lineup!! For micro spikes I’m using the Kahtoola MICROspikes. They’ve been going strong for a few years now. Thanks for tuning in & the great questions. Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
How long did it take you to get to Phantom Ranch? Then how long did it take to get to Cottonwood CG from Phantom. Lastly how long was it to hike up to North Rim from Cottonwood. I'm doing this exact route/stop in May. Thank you in advance, and great video.
Hey Sam! We left at daybreak and make it down to the ranch just before noon. We were going quite slow though because everyone was filming. Same deal for Cottonwood. Lots of filming and an extended break at Ribbon Falls. Made it to Cottonwood with about an hour and a half to sunset. I used the Old Bright Angel trail to get up to the North Rim the second day. Not recommended as it’s 90% bushwhacking through relatively unmarked trail. If you’re staying on the North Kaibab trail it’s a walk in the park….just elevation you have to deal with. It’s 6.43 miles from Cottonwood to the Ken Patrick trailhead. I’d plan a slower pace maybe 2mph or so to account for photography stops and breaks. Maybe a conservative 3-4 hours unless you just like pounding the miles.
Well Done Miyagi 👊 Love all the editing, voiceover, graphics, music and most importantly the content. Your passion and fun that you portray is infectious 👍 Unbelievable opportunity and beautiful way of capturing it. Thank YOU for bringing us along and sharing it with us 🎒🏕👊🇺🇸
I watched this and what I was able to see of the Grand Canyon was great. My suggestion is more Grand Canyon and less of your face. It’s not a bad face, but I tuned in to watch the hike and see the canyon. You can talk and still allow us to see the areas you are talking about.
Thanks so much!! The scenery was incredible. Not used to having 24/7 scenery when I hike. 😂. I learned that scorpion trick by watching someone else’s video. It is absolutely incredible to watch all of these glowing creatures crawling around the desert. 🦂 I appreciate your support. Merry Christmas! Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
