demonhalo67 i dont really want to get political or anything but we are living in the day and age where everything and everything is possible with the right minds and those willing to utilize. We found a bacteria that can eat plastic, why not breed and modify them to degrade them in a matter if months or years? Make them water recitant and non toxic. I dont want to stump human production by getting rid of capatalism or get rid of inovative techniques because those same bad things also led us into the age of acctually being able to find renewable energy, have the able to descover planets like ours which in time we can start a new and not screw up, to be able to genetically MODIFY things to make the more resistant, the competition in the market has led us to a conpatision to be better as well. And do i think that is a bad thing? No.
Before I watch the second half of this video I want to comment on how this impacted me. I'm battling depression currently. Lost ability to cry, communicate with anyone I know, and know my path in life. I'm just a guy all alone in his mid 20s trying to take steps forward but keep getting knocked back. I know I can't die because that's something I never want to put my parents through. I was looking for somewhere to escape, or a country to move to. All those clips brought back memories and a rush of feelings. For the first time in weeks, I feel happy? Or something good. Hard to explain the rush coming over me. The beauty of nature can be incredibly healing, and I forget that far too often. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
This is off topic but, does anyone know if it’s actually safe to hike there? This seems like genuine wilderness. Wouldn’t like to run into wolves, bears etc
@@alb0zfinest is really really safe, non Wild animals, just carefull with the weather, like the experts say you can have the four seasons in one day, the best time to go is from November till first week of january 👌👍
The editing is incredible, it makes me feel like im there. It makes me feel at peace. Those shots combined with the editing and music is the best thing ive seen on youtube. Thank you!
@@user-hh2is9kg9j it’s really easy. He first takes a quick 5 second video of what’s in front of him. Then later using video editing software he takes a clip of him walking then he layers it on top. And when you see his legs disappear in the frame behind grass of something, he takes the same video and crops it. Then re-layer it on top. This method is called monosaccharides filming. Many high production short films use this method.
@@ML-yi2tx that might be an option but if you watch the clips carefully you see that he interacts with the objects in the frame (plants, stones, etc). Also the shadow looks too perfect for a software edit.
I watched this on a 4k 55-inch TV I recently bought. Dude, I had never seen such beautiful images on a TV screen before, it's amazing. Also, I had no idea that the country I live in was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
I have visited Chile... it magnificently represents all that makes our planet 🌎 one of the most unique places in all the universe! Thanks for posting this wonderful video! 🖖
MyEyesBled places in all the universe buddy there’s over 200billion galaxies with 200-900billion stars in each how we know that? Much love tho this planet is beautiful
Absolutely breathtaking. The shots of the Snowy mountains, the people, the Incredible texture and beautiful vibrant color of the leaves at 13:00. Absolutely marvelous, Kraig
It makes the original footage inauthentic in my opinion. I don't really mean that negatively either I know it can't be helped, but imagine if it kept rolling and you see him walk back to grab the camera, it would be a laugh.
@@lombre8386 He was stating that simple fact due to the fact that there will be some real dipshit that chastises him for not social distancing...not for some random commenter to be a jerk. :)
I lived there for almost 3 years, and now I miss that place so much... the landscapes are atonishing and the feeling of being there sorrounded by pure nature is really soul touching. Thank you for reviving memories from my heart
My grandma just passed away from COVID and these videos are such a calming escape from reality. They feel so tender, real and peaceful. Thank you for telling your story in such a beautiful way. ❤️

I did this hike 6 months ago! Thank you for making this video. It brings back so many memories I have in Patagonia. It was so worth it, and the moment you are there, alone on the trail but you don’t feel lonely at all. ❤️
This is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen. I'm so grateful for having things like this on this platform. Thank you, Kraig. Definitely gonna watch it many times.
Thanks for making these videos without annoying narration. It might be impossible to express just how much it doesn't suck that you have that much consideration for your viewers, unlike so many other TH-camrs. It's way cool that you let the experience speak for itself. Your videos are superb!

It is a sublime experience that I am thankful for and I say, "thank you" for making these videos where I feel like I am there solo hiking.
Hi Craig... Patagonia has been on my list for a long time since college (decades ago 😂) and watched this video during COVID19 quarantine and it got me to commit seriously to going to Patagonia. This last November I finally made it to Torres del Paine and it was stunning. Prob one of the most beautiful regions I've seen. I now go back to watch this whenever I miss Patagonia.
I love coming back to this trek by Kraig. At 65 I wish I was physically capable to make such a jaunt (heart-atrial fibrillation). Thank you so much for sharing your journeys with the world.
Ive been living in Chile for 6.5 years and never ever considered hiking. Your videos got me into it. Im prepping to hike the W this summer. Thank you so much for the mental lifesaver these videos are.
The scenery, music, photography/video, editing...everything was so good. Thanks for posting, Kraig. It's just boggles the mind that (as of this writing) 384 viewers didn't find peace and awe in this video. Feeling sorry for those poor souls. JMHO
This guy is becoming my favorite hiking channel on YT. I like the way he structures his videos. First part silent then talks about the hike. His film making is under appreciated or underestimated - I'm struggling to find the right words.
this comment is for every walk back he did after getting these beautiful shots for us....people in the future (60 years plus) from now will appreciate this
I found this a very moving video, the music was indeed relaxing and the beauty was unbelievable. I would love to visit so thank you for making the video
This was early March 2020... Covid19 was already damaging the tourism industry around the world including my country (Chile). So I guess it wasn't that crowded by that time. I just hope this ends soon so we can keep showing everyone how beautiful is this thin and long country.

My daughter & I did the W in March 2012. It was fantastic. I was going to do the Kepler next wk, but due to COVID-19 it is being postponed. I enjoy your videos. Great Job!
I love everything in your hiking videos, the music, the footage, the style. Reminds me of Into Great Silence. Please keep your format like this. It is very peaceful and meditative. Great work!
Man, when I hiked the circuit back in '94, the glaciers were so much more plentiful. Global warming has taken its toll. Sad...But impressed that you carry so little with you for six days. I carried a huge backpack and had porters carry our food. You were also lucky with the weather. So many microclimates within Torres Del Paine. When I did it, we were pummeled by snow and rain and it was a herculean task to finish our hike. Of course, I don't remember running into so many cabins with opportunities to sleep and eat. I think things have changed since '94.
Kraig it is very interesting to see you test different equipment to make the experience better. I did my own hiking film, mainly inspired by you, back in february in Tierra del Fuego. Filmed with sony a6100, brought 2 lenses. It was definitely a pain in the ass to be carrying 2 lenses, especially when it came to changing them while in the path. The quality change in this video is very apparent, but I felt like it didnt take away from the point of your videos, it was still beautiful, relaxing and meditative. Btw I think you should bring more of yourself into these videos, I miss the goofyness of your vlogs, I like how for example, in your Hornstransdir hike there's a part where you are walking on the beach and almost get your feet wet, that is what I enjoy about you, and I feel like it could bring a new spice to these hiking films, to see more of you, whilst still keeping that calmness and no commentary feel to it, I think it will be a challenge but definitely something worth trying.
this was one the best, most beautiful and most informative videos about the W circuit. I'm still planning to go there, but your video was a major inspiration. thank you.
After working with people all day I escape to your videos to relax, be alone with nature and hope one day to visit all these places. There is nothing more real then feeling, smelling and touching nature.
Im glad you loved my beautiful contry Chile!! its incredible and has so many more natural parks to see and hike everywhere in the country. Torres del Paine is the most popular one and the best. Glad you could enjoy som Austral as it is also some of the best beer jaja. Hope you come back soon to explore all the other beauties this country has to offer. And as always, amazing content and thank you for the video.
@@pradeepchandra6157 so many. parque nacional siete tazas is incredible, specially if you camp in el bolson (but its very popular during the summer). In santiago you have el cajon del maipo 1-2 hours away which is full of treks. In the south you have parque nacional conguillio which is also very popular but the most beautiful park in chile. And many more parks furhter south like the recently open parque patagonia. All "protected" and decently taken care of.
This brings back so many blissful memories of being at peace with nature and enjoying the moment surrounded by some of the greatest scenery's one can experience as a human being.
Thank you for this. Brings back memories when I went there in 2017 to run the Patagonia Int'l Marathon. My friend and I were able to hike at Torres Del Paine. One of the best travel experience so far for me.
This is my personal favorite of your videos. The views were so prestine and fresh. Thanks for your efforts. I hope I can get there one day! And I like all the music in your videos, they were very calm and soothing! Thanks.
Hello Kraig, I'm interested in why your low tier paid channel membership was removed without any notification or explanation. I was really happy to follow your journey with your community posts, and was sad to see I'm not able to anymore.
I explain a bit in my recent solo update podcast episode (www.kraigadams.com/episodes/my-youtube-channel-was-hacked-and-deleted) but basically I made the switch back to free public updates for everyone. I still have the support tier available. LMK if you have any other questions
@@kraigadams Thanks, that clears it up! I was only confused because I don't really use any other social media platforms and I haven't seen your updates elsewhere. Thanks for your work, keep it up please!
Clair de Lune 💜 One of the most beautiful songs ever composed. And your video footage (despite the lower quality as you put it) touched something deeply in me. Thank you 🙏
Needed to say: I was struggling with a lot of anxiety and the feeling of losing self-control before I found your video and it helped me relax and focus on what I had to do, so thank you very very much.😊
I've always found it disturbing thinking how my actions dont amount for much in the great scheme of things. On all my journeys these thoughts are running through my mind when I sit back and gaze into the nature. The sheer size of it frightens me. On my recent travels through Wadi Rum in Jordan, I was sitting on top of this boulder like structure, with that harsh combination of sand and rock irritating my hands while I laid back, it felt like I do not belong here, almost as if my presence is an insult to this magnificent sight of sun rising over the horizon, over the Mars like environment. In an instant my thoughts get perplexed by the complexity of it all. I remember that I am sitting on this thing we call home that is blazing through the space million miles per hour, and we, and I, have no control of it. As I am watching the sun slowly ascending and bringing more colours to my morning, It strikes me that it has been doing that for the last 4.5 billion years and that my ancencesters 200 000 years ago probably had same question as I do. How is this possible? Not why or what for, but how? In seemingly infinite universe, both observed and unobserved, only we can ask that question but I am afraid the answer is not ours to give. What is left for us to do is to wonder, if we can only blame chance for it, is anything really impossible?
well, I don't think is chance at all, but the inevitable destiny of matter that follows the laws of physics and chemistry. It is really wonderful how everything came to be and the fact that we can actually understand it. That is crazy. As someone said: "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself"
... or simply appreciate the beauty of time and place and being able to be there, see it, and feel it. The more I travel the more humble I get of what a wonderful world we live in! DO NOT OVER THINK IT BUT ENJOY IT!!!
I had very similar thoughts on Wayna Picchu the peak in the background of Machu Picchu photos. I love that my group got to do this hike because it was much less crowded and commercialized than the main ruins. I sat on a rock and looked down into the valley deep deep below. There was no railing. I realized I could tip and tumble and in a second I'd be done for. A wave of feelings like I had never felt before washed over me. That I was/am so small and this world is so damn big. What is the purpose of this moment, this person I call "me" and the life I call "mine"? Does anything really matter in the grand scheme? Fuck man... makes me tear up just thinking about it. I gotta get back out there and see some more spectacular nature things!
Hello Kraig, absolutely love your videos and indeed it's extremely tranquil and meditative to watch and listen. One question I have is: do you have a playlist of all the music that you add into your videos? I absolutely love the songs/soundtracks you add into them and would love to listen to them. Luke
I am a student currently studying tourism and I want to work in the adventure tourism division. Since the Pandemic, I had to start studying from home it became discouraging and demotivating. But since I had watched your videos you have inspired me to discover and continue to explore. You have given me a sense of hope with the beauty of our world. Thank you!
Kraig Adams:Thanks so much for sharing this magnificent video of Torres del Paine nacional park. We travel there from Calbuco- Puerto Montt- Punta Arenas- Puerto Natales then we rented a car to Lago Grey. We love it. What a place!!!. Cheers to you. From New Orleans the city of jazz and the wonderful "cajun" food. USA.
"Alone on the track" is an overstatement, maybe it was just these clips, but it often crowded like a theme park. Nice places though, thanks for sharing.,
Really enjoyed the video without too much talk or howling wind sounds! I watch the videos while on my stationary bike (covid lock down) as well as I am way to old to hike. never too old to enjoy!
Thank you for this video. I have wanted to go hike the Torres Del Paine for years. One suggestion I have discovered for group campsites is always bring some earplugs as almost always someone, if not multiple people snore at night which can make it very hard to get a good nights sleep when camping with a large number of other people in a group campsite.

Chile is great for hiking, both in the north and south of the country.. there are many volcanoes rivers and mountains, many places to visit..
@@limond1213 as well as central Chile. Mountains are amazing everywhere along the country.
-and Atacama desert in north
Kraig it is very interesting to see you test different equipment to make the experience better. I did my own hiking film, mainly inspired by you, back in february in Tierra del Fuego. Filmed with sony a6100, brought 2 lenses. It was definitely a pain in the ass to be carrying 2 lenses, especially when it came to changing them while in the path. The quality change in this video is very apparent, but I felt like it didnt take away from the point of your videos, it was still beautiful, relaxing and meditative.
Btw I think you should bring more of yourself into these videos, I miss the goofyness of your vlogs, I like how for example, in your Hornstransdir hike there's a part where you are walking on the beach and almost get your feet wet, that is what I enjoy about you, and I feel like it could bring a new spice to these hiking films, to see more of you, whilst still keeping that calmness and no commentary feel to it, I think it will be a challenge but definitely something worth trying.
this was one the best, most beautiful and most informative videos about the W circuit. I'm still planning to go there, but your video was a major inspiration. thank you.
This is a beautiful place to hike and I would love to go there one day.
After working with people all day I escape to your videos to relax, be alone with nature and hope one day to visit all these places. There is nothing more real then feeling, smelling and touching nature.
Thank you so much for breathtaking scenes that I have never seen in my life.
I just watched a guy filming himself hiking for 15 minutes and I loved it!
so peaceful. If you just watch your videos you can really get a grasp of just how long the journey is that you're on. Thx for taking us along!
Im glad you loved my beautiful contry Chile!! its incredible and has so many more natural parks to see and hike everywhere in the country. Torres del Paine is the most popular one and the best. Glad you could enjoy som Austral as it is also some of the best beer jaja. Hope you come back soon to explore all the other beauties this country has to offer. And as always, amazing content and thank you for the video.
What other places do you recommend in Chile for hiking?
@@pradeepchandra6157 so many. parque nacional siete tazas is incredible, specially if you camp in el bolson (but its very popular during the summer). In santiago you have el cajon del maipo 1-2 hours away which is full of treks. In the south you have parque nacional conguillio which is also very popular but the most beautiful park in chile. And many more parks furhter south like the recently open parque patagonia. All "protected" and decently taken care of.
Amazing video, im a subscriber from Chile and you defenetly motivated me to go to this track
This brings back so many blissful memories of being at peace with nature and enjoying the moment surrounded by some of the greatest scenery's one can experience as a human being.
Love your videos. I also love the fact that you added Hammock's music in here!
Hope you're staying safe with the coronavirus going around. This video made my day! Thank you!
Che dire......Poesia .....Thank you Kraig
I think this is the most beautiful place you've been and the footage was incredible for such a small camera!
Loved it, so relaxing to watch and realistic
Love the format of this video - beautiful peaceful nature footage without commentary, then practical guidance and trip planning. So good
Please do one of the Scottish Highlands. Every corner you take is just breath taking.
I've spent many hours this weekend watching your films Craig. Thank you for inspiring me to not just hike Nepal.
Fabulous. 🙏👌
By far the most relaxing TH-cam channel of all, you’re ahead of your time with the visuals and non commentary.
Dropping a like cause of that notification problem. Hope it helps. Sharing the vid too!
Thank you for this. Brings back memories when I went there in 2017 to run the Patagonia Int'l Marathon. My friend and I were able to hike at Torres Del Paine. One of the best travel experience so far for me.
this is how i would want to live my life , i'm letting go of everything
@Slawcio Pan i was on the path to becoming a simp, no more, i just want to left alone
@@dragon_slayer23 LMAO
Stay on the path brother

@@dragon_slayer23 honest question, how will you be supporting this lifestyle? this dude probably is able to cos of youtube
@@devvv4616 honest reply, that's why i'm still stuck in one place, i'm not making enough even to support my life right now
Me too..bt I can't let go off my family..
Thank you so much for this relaxing and full of energy video...i am landscape photographer..i hope one day i can visit Patagonia !
It reminds me on the Time I did this Hike in Chile 2 Years ago. It feels like a visual throwback to that amazing mountains. Thanks for the footage!
This is my personal favorite of your videos. The views were so prestine and fresh. Thanks for your efforts. I hope I can get there one day! And I like all the music in your videos, they were very calm and soothing! Thanks.
Amazing Kraig! I now want to take my daughter on this hike when she's old enough! X
Idk how old is your kid, but when i was in torres del paine I saw a 9 year old kid in the O circuit with her parents. I was really impressed
@@andersonvmendes13 that is impressive!
Hello Kraig, I'm interested in why your low tier paid channel membership was removed without any notification or explanation. I was really happy to follow your journey with your community posts, and was sad to see I'm not able to anymore.
I explain a bit in my recent solo update podcast episode (www.kraigadams.com/episodes/my-youtube-channel-was-hacked-and-deleted) but basically I made the switch back to free public updates for everyone. I still have the support tier available. LMK if you have any other questions
@@kraigadams Thanks, that clears it up! I was only confused because I don't really use any other social media platforms and I haven't seen your updates elsewhere. Thanks for your work, keep it up please!
Clair de Lune 💜 One of the most beautiful songs ever composed. And your video footage (despite the lower quality as you put it) touched something deeply in me. Thank you 🙏
I pray the LORD continue to bless you on your peaceful journeys. Thank you for the experience.
It’s like watching the earth millions of millions years ago when no human exited.
Sanjar Yakubov good old days
Sanjar Yakubov Kraig would’ve been eaten by now
Jay Paul III 100%
Sanjar Yakubov Would you ever to something as daring as this hike alone?
The Chinese will flash flood everything in the end.
No words needed, the overwhelming beauty of nature is enough.

@@kraigadams haha brilliant
:)))) genius
@@kraigadams Wishing your walks videos were longer!
@@kraigadams Salut Adams👍
Needed to say: I was struggling with a lot of anxiety and the feeling of losing self-control before I found your video and it helped me relax and focus on what I had to do, so thank you very very much.😊
I've always found it disturbing thinking how my actions dont amount for much in the great scheme of things. On all my journeys these thoughts are running through my mind when I sit back and gaze into the nature. The sheer size of it frightens me. On my recent travels through Wadi Rum in Jordan, I was sitting on top of this boulder like structure, with that harsh combination of sand and rock irritating my hands while I laid back, it felt like I do not belong here, almost as if my presence is an insult to this magnificent sight of sun rising over the horizon, over the Mars like environment. In an instant my thoughts get perplexed by the complexity of it all. I remember that I am sitting on this thing we call home that is blazing through the space million miles per hour, and we, and I, have no control of it. As I am watching the sun slowly ascending and bringing more colours to my morning, It strikes me that it has been doing that for the last 4.5 billion years and that my ancencesters 200 000 years ago probably had same question as I do. How is this possible? Not why or what for, but how? In seemingly infinite universe, both observed and unobserved, only we can ask that question but I am afraid the answer is not ours to give. What is left for us to do is to wonder, if we can only blame chance for it, is anything really impossible?
well, I don't think is chance at all, but the inevitable destiny of matter that follows the laws of physics and chemistry. It is really wonderful how everything came to be and the fact that we can actually understand it. That is crazy. As someone said: "We are a way for the cosmos to know itself"
... or simply appreciate the beauty of time and place and being able to be there, see it, and feel it. The more I travel the more humble I get of what a wonderful world we live in! DO NOT OVER THINK IT BUT ENJOY IT!!!
I had very similar thoughts on Wayna Picchu the peak in the background of Machu Picchu photos. I love that my group got to do this hike because it was much less crowded and commercialized than the main ruins. I sat on a rock and looked down into the valley deep deep below. There was no railing. I realized I could tip and tumble and in a second I'd be done for. A wave of feelings like I had never felt before washed over me. That I was/am so small and this world is so damn big. What is the purpose of this moment, this person I call "me" and the life I call "mine"? Does anything really matter in the grand scheme? Fuck man... makes me tear up just thinking about it. I gotta get back out there and see some more spectacular nature things!
cringe
Just hike, don’t philosophize... 😴
Hello Kraig, absolutely love your videos and indeed it's extremely tranquil and meditative to watch and listen.
One question I have is: do you have a playlist of all the music that you add into your videos? I absolutely love the songs/soundtracks you add into them and would love to listen to them.
Luke
Yes looking for songs used please
I think you can find them in Musicbed from his playlist. Give it a try, i am not so sure. www.musicbed.com/playlists/kraig-adams/2445
I am a student currently studying tourism and I want to work in the adventure tourism division.
Since the Pandemic, I had to start studying from home it became discouraging and demotivating.
But since I had watched your videos you have inspired me to discover and continue to explore. You have given me a sense of hope with the beauty of our world.
Thank you!
The progress you've made over the years is so inspiring
Kraig Adams:Thanks so much for sharing this magnificent video of Torres del Paine nacional park. We travel there from Calbuco- Puerto Montt- Punta Arenas- Puerto Natales then we rented a car to Lago Grey. We love it. What a place!!!. Cheers to you. From New Orleans the city of jazz and the wonderful "cajun" food. USA.
"Alone on the track" is an overstatement, maybe it was just these clips, but it often crowded like a theme park. Nice places though, thanks for sharing.,
Your videos help with my depression and anxiety a lot. Especially before bed. Thank you for making these ♥️
What a beautiful world we live in!..Thank You
I was supposed to start this hike in 3 days:(
you should reschedule to 2022
Really enjoyed the video without too much talk or howling wind sounds! I watch the videos while on my stationary bike (covid lock down) as well as I am way to old to hike. never too old to enjoy!
i have such wanderlust i'm grateful to watch this and live vicariously for now
Thank you for this video. I have wanted to go hike the Torres Del Paine for years. One suggestion I have discovered for group campsites is always bring some earplugs as almost always someone, if not multiple people snore at night which can make it very hard to get a good nights sleep when camping with a large number of other people in a group campsite.
I was also in Chile, that’s funny.
