- Last year I spent a week in Scotland making a film about bothies. This Easter I returned to make a new film with my friend Tem. We spent a glorious week zooming around the Highlands and Cairngorms. Our plan was to make a film about wilderness - its appeal and its importance - and at the same time try to introduce more people to the words of John Muir and the important work of the John Muir Trust.
I really hope that you enjoy the film. Could I ask you please to...
1) Share the film on your own social media channels
2) Follow the John Muir Trust on Facebook - JohnMuirTrust - or Twitter - JohnMuirTrust
3) Consider becoming a member of the John Muir Trust - johnmuirtrust.org
Thank you to Temujin (studiocanoe.com/) for making such a lovely film and for being great company on the road, and very patient with my endless suggestions to film more stuff, edit more stuff, eat more crisps.
Thank you to Jim Crumley for the wonderful voiceover.
Thank you to the John Muir Trust for being so supportive of our film.
It sure is dusty in here today... great film that pulled on all the right places in my heart.
Thank you Alastair and thanks for introducing me to the excellent of the John Muir Trust.
Oh what a life of wonder and majesty.
Most amazing the scenes are simply breathtaking.
I'm always impressed by the videos you create, even a quick think on Instagram. I have a feeling, however, that this will be the video that gets friends' attention more than others I've shared. Thank you for making something so wonderful!
Great images and synchronisation with the narrative! Beautiful
love john muirs work.
Stunning video.........I'm going to leave those little jobs till later, put on my boots and head for the hill!
Absolutely beautiful and a reminder that I'm spending far too much time indoors lately.
Beautiful
Really beautiful! Reminds me that I need to get out there again.
This is my favorite video on the internet. Whenever I am feeling a bit "nerve-shaken and over-civilized" I watch this video. Thanks for sharing your adventures for those of us who need more dirt paths.
I might have guessed this was one of yours, young man.
Champion stuff, thank you; it made my hairs tingle.
Where there's dirt, there's rebirth.
into the wilderness I go where at first I see peace, but come to know
Great work
awesome inspirational!
Beautiful vid, the words really resonated with me. Especially loved the shot at 3:53
great
Does anyone know the music?
Is there a transcript or copy of the speech available? I'd love to use this in one of my lessons at work. Thanks :)
Yes - search on my blog.
Beautiful...……….would dearly love to feature your blogs and films on my web site.
running water specks to me
TH-cam routinely recommends videos for me to watch, but the vast majority are of no value and of little interest. Occasionally, however, a gem lies among them, and one of your videos was such a jewel. I am so grateful I have found your channel. The videos are extraordinarily beautiful, as is the accompanying commentary. Best of luck with your future projects. I'll be watching, because I'm sure great things lie ahead for you.
What a kind comment. Thank you.
Whenever I'm lacking in motivation or will to get out there, I come back to this film for some reason it reminds me why I need to keep getting up and going out there. Thank you!
the most beautiful declaration of love to the mountains I´ve ever witnessed. Goosebumps! Thank you so much!
Sumptuous footage of some wonderful places. Lovely film and message. Nice work Al and Tem. ATB, Paul
The cinematography on this is really nice, good job 👍🏻
I'm just seeing the ending inspirational quote as an innuendo
Oh man - now I'm going to think like that too!
Thanks now me too hahaha hilarious.
No way lel eggs dee le mayonaise

The dirt roads....I'll go with that Alastair. Wonderful film full of the visuals and words we like. All the best. Mark.
This film is so awesome!
A visual feast... loved the tilt shot from the red tent past the waterfall to the peak, beautiful images.
Beautiful video...and beautiful music too!
Fantastic film Alastair some great shots and beautifully edited with the building of the music. Great inspiration.

Fantastic video!

a masterpiece x
great flic!
excellent!
I watched your raft down the river video and thought. I wonder what else he might have in his video list. Then this video starts to play and along with wonderfully shot video, there are eloquent thoughts that show that the person behind the videos has a way with words that stirs the listener to the deeper connection that occurs in the woods. I subbed and look forward to watching some of the back log of videos.
Thank you - that's a very kind comment.
Amazing!
Great job - your best yet!! What a great film.
Inspiring!!!
👍 TOP 🔝
After a year of restrictions and lockdowns this video brings a tear to my eye. I long for the biting air of the mountains and especially that blown across the ancient crags of the bonnie north. Sublime video.
P.S. It would be good to know any particular sources for the words of John Muir or if it is more of an amalgamtion of quotes pulled, so eloquently i might add, together form various works.
Me too!
I live 10 miles from the mighty Sierra Nevada mountains here in California where I hike to my hearts content every waking moment I can get up there. Was this video filmed entirely in Scotland? Looks comparable to some of the many wonders I've seen here.
Yes - all on John Muir Trust land
Alastair Humphreys thank you John Muir! A mighty Scotsman!
Also if it wasn't for John Muir being such a die hard explorer we wouldn't have many of the natural wonders that we have left untouched here in California today. Check out my TH-cam channel if you wouldn't mind having a peek at some of those wonders. Not as clean as your videos but beautiful just the same.
What an incredible video! Came across your page from a wild camping video and it’s what my dreams are made of! 💙
