Eric this is quite possibly your best video ever. A combination of emotions, raw beauty, adverse weather turning your pictures into stunning takes... It was deeply moving to watch the whole movie. I ate it with a spoon... The emotions you and Kristi showed all along just reminded how I personally felt in a different area of the park a week beforehand....I was also in tears when I just passed that ridge line facing Laguna de Los Tres at the base of Fitz Roy on our first long hike with the group in Patagonia the week and a half previous. The colors, the haze, the light in your movie are so magical by Laguna Torre .... I totally understand why you were both in tears. I envied you when I watched your video!!!! Just like you show so admirably, Patagonia takes you by the guts and triggers something deep, reminding us how blessed we are to live on this Planet. Thank you so much both of you. You guys are troopers! Not everyone can do this physically and mentally, it looked really hard!
Thanks for hauling around all that weight in camera equipment. My two favorite shots were the closeups of the ice in the lagoon and the reflection of the mountains in your sunglasses.
Eric, This is a masterpiece!Absolutely stunning clips of those mountains, the glacier, right down to the smaller pieces of ice in the lagoon; and that's just the tip of the ice berg! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I can't wait for more!
That was EPIC!! It is even more beautiful than I thought it would be. I keep thinking that I would love to see Kristi paint some of that gorgeous floating ice. You two are such a cute couple hiking together. Thanks for sharing your beautiful journey with us!
Great call on moving to a more secure campsite to minimize wind exposure. Staying up all night worrying about whether the tent will hold up sucks! Even worse if it doesn’t! Thoroughly enjoying the video!
When I saw that fly whipping around trying to set up in the exposed spot immediately thought "OK who's going to be the one to call it and say let's go to the more sheltered site," good thinking Kristi
Absolutely love it. So amazing and just absolutely breathtaking. Absolutely love when you hike with your wife. Yup that must sound a little bit strange now but yes your WIFE. Love you guys. Hope to see more and all the EPIC ADVENTURES you take. Thanks guys for another great video.
Thanks for another great video. I understand the feelings you had. I felt the same way watching the sunrise from the N Kaibab trail hiking down in the the Grand Canyon. I know that's your back yard and have seen it many times, but I had wanted to be there for 45 years and finally made it happen last year. This year Half Dome!
I have to admit this was by far the best video you have put out since you started your own channel. Im sure pictures won’t do justice how amazing your trip was. I will be there late August but not to backpack just visit. Im more excited for this trip watching your video. ✌🏽
❤ Favorite part was the silhouette leap and embrace!!! Thanks for sharing your trip as we thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Such beauty shows that God is the best artist 🎨 😊
Eric and Kristi, what an incredibly beautiful two days, I’m so happy for you to be able to experience Patagonia in such stunning glory. So looking forward to the next video(s).
So glad you guys listened to Kristi's voice of reason for that first campsite. I kept saying to myself as you two were weighing comfort verses view, "you are chancing ruining your tent".
I enjoyed watching this so much. Absolutely stunning scenery. And the two of you together are simply joyful. Thanks for sharing this content. Also, perfect length. So smart breaking this into manageable segments for watchability. Much better than one long feature film.
This backpacking trip with you was a dream. I feel so lucky to have witnessed what we did. Even if these videos were just for me to relive I would rewatch a million times.
absolutely beautiful sir - thanks for sharing. Your partner's "sketch" level seems about in line with mine and her camera work is just amazing. I've had some pretty amazing experiences on Rainier up her in Washington but that was just f'n awesome. Again, thank you.
Not gonna lie. I feel cheated on, and I'm only 13 minutes in! 😆 Brenda, Karim, Andy, and I did about half of that hike to Laguna Cerro Torre on the off day. You guys really nailed the weather window. Well done!
I've been on an Eric and Miranda marathon the last few days...😂 Tbf, I've been watching and bothering Eric for years, almost got him to consider coming to the Cape wrath trail with me once. Might try again. Hi, Eric, Britains hardest trail calling, where you at, bro?
@eric_hanson I've never done it myself, I'm looking at doing it's smaller brother, the West Highland way, which is half the length but still epic af. Last year was bad for hiking for me as I was building our new gym (im a boxing coach) for months. This year, I'm building my channel.
@ 😂 thank you, I’ve been watching you for some time now and I’m currently laying in my tent on a snowy mountain in Scotland. I felt that was the only appropriate response while I have cell signal 😂
Tbh the most interesting part of this video is that you’re in a brand new marriage with a soulmate exploring the world. The camping gear seemed irrelevant once I got into it
ha, they're great right?! I needed to pick up a pair of sunglasses in El Chalten and I was gonna buy those for me! But they fit Kristi way better, so anyway, they're some random brand we got in Argentina!
That would work too. Part of the need for the heavy duty tripod too was that the wind would just shake the more lightweight one we had, making the video not good!
Volume is half level what it should be. - I have powered desktop speakers, no problem here. Just letting you know. Literally up to 20 where most vids only need 10. Camera gear has killed ultra light backpacking haha....Or one might claim has made it that more important actually haha. Never pitch your tent for views. Always for shelter. You'll always sleep better. Enjoy the views while hiking. You can't see views while sleeping and at night. You'll enjoy the views and the experiences during the day, FAR more, being well rested, than if you pitched your tent for the "idea" of views and hardly sleep.
@ thank you Kristi 😃 Your video is so beautiful, sometimes I think about stop hiking and do another hobby but this video got me all melancholic and reminded me about why I love hiking, those views and seeing Gods creation, Mother Nature is one of a kind, and we are blessed to be able to get out there and see it with our own eyes ❤️❤️❤️
I'm sure Dan knows you only said what you said about slipping your feet into other quilts because Christie was there. And I'm sure Christie won't read this and wonder what her loving husband does on his trips with Dan.
You've been hiking for 8 hours up a grueling trail, days worth of food and kit, then coming toward you are a young couple in jogging gear with just a baby in a back pack for their daily run......Wha??????

Thanks for quitting your old job and have started this new chapter in your life. Thanks for showing us nature‘s beauty.
I'm pretty happy with the new chapter!
Thanks for hauling around all that weight in camera equipment. My two favorite shots were the closeups of the ice in the lagoon and the reflection of the mountains in your sunglasses.
You did marvelous job here! Filming, storytelling, atmosphere, color grading and cinematography are flawless guys! Outstanding channel!!!
Just beautiful......

Sometimes, beauty can touch you so profoundly it makes you cry. These mountain views certainly qualify. Your videos captured them so magnificently.
I'm so glad to hear that, soul stirring stuff out there!
Great call on moving to a more secure campsite to minimize wind exposure. Staying up all night worrying about whether the tent will hold up sucks! Even worse if it doesn’t! Thoroughly enjoying the video!
Mesmerizing! I usually don’t have the tension span to watch a 45 minute video but I was locked on the whole time. So awesome!
that's high praise! It can be a time commitment but I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Same. 👏
When I saw that fly whipping around trying to set up in the exposed spot immediately thought "OK who's going to be the one to call it and say let's go to the more sheltered site," good thinking Kristi
she is the smart one in our relationship!
What an incredible adventure! I'm so glad that you took Kristi along as "the voice of reason" and the amazing badass that she is!
she is so impressive and I need her around to keep me from making poor decisions
Absolutely love it. So amazing and just absolutely breathtaking. Absolutely love when you hike with your wife. Yup that must sound a little bit strange now but yes your WIFE. Love you guys. Hope to see more and all the EPIC ADVENTURES you take. Thanks guys for another great video.

Stunningly beautiful! The ice clinking in the stream sounded like chimes!
I'm amazed by the variety of landscapes! It looks like completely different parts of the world.
what a great video - thanks for sharing your adventure and the amazing videography - just incredible!
thank you so much!
❤ Favorite part was the silhouette leap and embrace!!! Thanks for sharing your trip as we thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Such beauty shows that God is the best artist 🎨 😊
That was a fun shot! It makes me laugh seeing Kristi attempt to pick me up, I'd eaten a few too many big steaks while down there!
Thank you so much for hauling in the heavy cameras to give us the epic and gorgeous photos!
it was totally worth it!
Eric and Kristi, what an incredibly beautiful two days, I’m so happy for you to be able to experience Patagonia in such stunning glory. So looking forward to the next video(s).
I saw this video and waited to watch it. Needed dedicated time and my undivided attention. Time to enjoy!
So glad you guys listened to Kristi's voice of reason for that first campsite. I kept saying to myself as you two were weighing comfort verses view, "you are chancing ruining your tent".
ha! Yeah, we absolutely couldve lost our tent that night! SO windy!
Cerra Torre image in the lake is wow!
Right? Just bonkers!
I enjoyed watching this so much. Absolutely stunning scenery. And the two of you together are simply joyful. Thanks for sharing this content. Also, perfect length. So smart breaking this into manageable segments for watchability. Much better than one long feature film.
Holy snap! How amazing is that?! What a phenomenally epic trip that is. Such a special place to witness. You two are so very lucky 💕
Amazing! I was crying right along with y'all! One more for my ever-growing bucket list. 👏
❤The music composition was absolutely perfect for this video,thanks for bringing us along..
Thank you! I try to find good and interesting music to make the videos better.
Wonderful footage! Keep up the amazing work! 💚
Omg, you’re hilarious!!! “I most certainly won’t do it with Dan Becker”.
I was screaming! 😂😂😂
This backpacking trip with you was a dream. I feel so lucky to have witnessed what we did. Even if these videos were just for me to relive I would rewatch a million times.
This was one of the best experiences ever! We'll have these on repeat for sure!
Man, you're not kidding brother! That is MAGICAL! Mahalo for the share! Epic indeed!
Thank you! This goes down as the best backpacking trip I've ever done!
Well done. Beautiful footage, and you guys are great together!
Cheers from Brazil 💪🏽
Thank you! We definitely have a little bit of fun together!
Unbelievable views and landscape. Thank you again for sharing this adventure
Thanks Tyler! I'm excited to go explore with you in Banff!
One word: jealous!😃 Great video; thanks for sharing!
ha, yeah it's pretty epic down there!
I just LOVE these type of videos you put together ❤ Outstanding!
Thank you! These are my favorite to make!
This is such an awesome video. National Geographic should be calling. Thank you for your work.
well thank you! I wouldn't mind if they gave me a ring, I'd listen.
absolutely beautiful sir - thanks for sharing. Your partner's "sketch" level seems about in line with mine and her camera work is just amazing. I've had some pretty amazing experiences on Rainier up her in Washington but that was just f'n awesome. Again, thank you.
Absolutely amazing scenery. Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome!
What an epic trip and video series!!!
thank you! Glad you're enjoying, more to come!
Not gonna lie. I feel cheated on, and I'm only 13 minutes in! 😆 Brenda, Karim, Andy, and I did about half of that hike to Laguna Cerro Torre on the off day. You guys really nailed the weather window. Well done!
Pete you would've lost your mind out there with the weather he had! Guess you'll just have to go back!
@eric_hanson Trust me, it's all I think about. You guys really took it up a notch backpacking and staying out, too. Your efforts were rewarded!
Hi Pete!! I was just gonna say...I just watched it and YES you, Andy and Brenda hiked the beginning of that!!!!!
AMAZING Thanks!
WOW!!
Lets gooo round 2! I was about to go to bed been up all night Eric. Come do a Vancouver trip! Much love!
Why sleep when you can watch (hopefully) great videos! And thanks, I do enjoy Vancouver, I have to get back that way!
@eric_hanson Superb videos! The beginning of your last one with the group you sounded Attenbourough esk but in your own way. =)
@@patrickbedruz6475 I'll take that! Great compliment!
Looks like an amazing place to visit! I think it’s on the bucket list for every adventure seeker!!
The place is just ridiculous! Gotta go if you can make it.
That was cool. Thanks for bringing us along.
You're welcome!
I've been on an Eric and Miranda marathon the last few days...😂
Tbf, I've been watching and bothering Eric for years, almost got him to consider coming to the Cape wrath trail with me once.
Might try again.
Hi, Eric, Britains hardest trail calling, where you at, bro?
Haha well thanks for binging Miranda's and my channel! I did rather enjoy the Penine Way, Cape Wrath sounds quite intense!
@eric_hanson I've never done it myself, I'm looking at doing it's smaller brother, the West Highland way, which is half the length but still epic af.
Last year was bad for hiking for me as I was building our new gym (im a boxing coach) for months. This year, I'm building my channel.
My favorite part of Sunday😎
Well that's a delight
Keep up the amazing work Eric! Inspired as always 🙏🙏
Thank you so much! And nice work on being first view!
@ 😂 thank you, I’ve been watching you for some time now and I’m currently laying in my tent on a snowy mountain in Scotland. I felt that was the only appropriate response while I have cell signal 😂
Wow. And thanks.
GREAT idea to wait for weather. It's a shame to get there and have the peaks covered with cloud.
that would be a bummer! These are the most epic peaks ever!
Powerful
It's a powerful place!
Just Awesome
Thank you very much!
Tbh the most interesting part of this video is that you’re in a brand new marriage with a soulmate exploring the world. The camping gear seemed irrelevant once I got into it
Stunning scenery! Thank you for sharing! What camera lens was your wife using?
I love your wife's sunglasses!! Where did she get them?
ha, they're great right?! I needed to pick up a pair of sunglasses in El Chalten and I was gonna buy those for me! But they fit Kristi way better, so anyway, they're some random brand we got in Argentina!
I think - get an UL tripod with a hook at the bottom to hang a heavy thing like your backpack.
That would work too. Part of the need for the heavy duty tripod too was that the wind would just shake the more lightweight one we had, making the video not good!
Volume is half level what it should be. - I have powered desktop speakers, no problem here. Just letting you know. Literally up to 20 where most vids only need 10.

Great video as always, Eric, what shoes was your wife wearing for the hike? TIA
My favorite Aku high top boots! Eric will chime in with real details 🤣
@ thank you Kristi 😃 Your video is so beautiful, sometimes I think about stop hiking and do another hobby but this video got me all melancholic and reminded me about why I love hiking, those views and seeing Gods creation, Mother Nature is one of a kind, and we are blessed to be able to get out there and see it with our own eyes ❤️❤️❤️
You should do a video with military gear😂
That would be outside of my comfort zone!
How much liter/volume backpack do you use for such a hike?
I used the 70L pack from Zpacks but I only needed about 60 liters for gear + camera gear.
@eric_hanson great, thank you. I'm looking for 65L for hiking + camping (tent and stuff) with kids.
What beanie is that Eric?
It's from Appalachian Gear Co, which has sadly gone out of business.
I'm sure Dan knows you only said what you said about slipping your feet into other quilts because Christie was there. And I'm sure Christie won't read this and wonder what her loving husband does on his trips with Dan.
Kristi reads the comments section so I think she has an inkling of our bromance.
Truly a laugh out loud moment. We all know that's just because Dan's feet are so cold. 🤣🤣 (jk, Dan)
Which backpack is your wife using in this video?
It's the Outdoor Vitals CS40, it's a great pack!
FIRST VIEW!!!
45 view!!!
You've been hiking for 8 hours up a grueling trail, days worth of food and kit, then coming toward you are a young couple in jogging gear with just a baby in a back pack for their daily run......Wha??????
