Awesome video Tom. That first 2 mins was a cinematic masterclass. The sound was sublime! I know how much effort that takes... loved the whole video and a fav location.

I love how you muffled the music when the shot showed the exterior of the fan. We notice these little things you do, Thomas. We notice.

The editing for the opening sequence is absolutely sublime :)

It felt like i was on my way to cook meth with my chemistry teacher.

I call mine a “go bag”. Although “grabby” is kind of growing on me. Lol thanks Tom!!!

We need that connection with the nature and longer hikes is the meditation and free therapy.

23mins of heaven in this hell of quarantine. Stay safe and best wishies from Croatia!

I gave you my like after 3 minutes, because I thought while watching that you do all the filming by yourself, setting the camera set up the drone driving ... just amazing

Thanks so much Thomas, be safe and well.

Love from a Kendalian living in New Zealand, best wishes to you and your family Thomas. Stay safe.

That was NOT a wasted day! It was a lovely, gentle piece of filming in the spectacular Lake District - thank you!

Amen! It's always like this on the longer hikes. Thanks for sharing Thomas.

I've watched all your videos, but so far this one is my favorite - it is so calming, peaceful and relaxing. Thank you for doing those videos - they are really inspiring!

Sometimes when your just out with no camera, you find what could be an amazing composition, then when you are looking for a comp, you get a great walk. I loved the conversation with the sheep, “me neither” cracked me up.

Kind of glad I don't know how these vlogs are made because then it wouldn't be magic. Love how you put all of your little bits together for your vlogs. Great production. Not to worry about the length. Many of us would watch you make coffee and step in mud puddles for hours! Thanks for everything!

i love it when you just pick up any garbage you see in the way and not actually rant about it you are the best keep growing like rocket. lots of love

Thanks Thomas! I stopped and re-started at least 3 times to make it last longer! I'll bet I'm not the only one. Always enjoy your content! Cheers!

Great video, just what is needed at this difficult time. Thanks for all the effort that you put into your work.

Thanks for taking us along for a nice hike Thomas!

Many thanks for those long stretches without music. Listening to the sounds of nature, the cracking of ice did me so good. I felt I could smell the air, crisp and cold and clean. Very uplifting.

I know exactly how you feel. I did 26 miles last week and brought all my camera gear but never took it out. Sometimes our minds cannot find shots for us but it’s still peaceful and amazing being able to get outside!

My god, all these angles, it's like I'm watching a proper movie here. Your skills are now on a whole other level Thomas, great job mate! :)

I think the advice at the end is subjective. You would take no images, some would take a couple, and others (myself included) could take hundreds! That's the beauty of photography, everyone has their own philosophy and none of it is wrong. That's why I love watching your videos alongside other photographers, never boring.

Loved this video man. I was really chilled watching this, thanks.

Go Bag. Very technical term lololol ;)

Amazing video Thomas! Always so impressed with the production and effort you put into your videos.

Thanks so much for giving me a breath of fresh air during these lockdown times!

wow it feels so cozy, the background music is pure gold.

My favorite recent video of yours by far. Lovely video and soundscapes! Thank you :D

I miss the Lake District. I used to go on holiday there as a kid, but I haven't lived in the UK for 16 years. Seeing your videos give me a great sense of nostalgia, thanks Tom!

Love that road to Martindale. At least you got out and about before the lockdown. Good luck with everything

Really nice to see your videos. How much effort and time you spend to make them so awesome. Can wait for the next one.

Really nice video mate! Love the effort that you put in to it you can really seen it!

Top show! Thanks!

Thank you Thomas ... soothing video!

Love seeing these videos since I’m trapped at home! I have 2 kids and a wife at home and out of work at the moment because of this whole situation. All I want more than anything right now is to be full time on YT but these kind of videos are helping! Keep Creating! 🎥🎬

You are not alone I stopped doing videos for the time being. I had to leave Los Angeles and go take care of my mom.

Awesome video once again, i love seeing the early morning wake ups, heater on, kettle boiling and fresh weather outside!!! Looks bliss

Just so you know, I find watching your videos helps alleviate that we all are at the moment living in a Steven King novel. I have spread the word and if you see a big spike in time watched then I'd like to say its because I spread the word. But, your videos are very entertaining and your photographs being very artful deserve all the credit. Thanks!

Really nice hike! Thanks for sharing

Thomas, this video is a masterclass in filming broll/travel scenes/self filming. Bravo! Expertly done.

First 2 min: A full taste of Fallout: the music, isolation, van, and an unknown destination.

I really liked the video. I can no longer hike (knees are shot) but came to he same conclusion when I was hiking. But I always carried my gear because of the “what if”. You get extra points for pointing out that we are all stewards of the wilds and need to help out those others that haven’t caught on yet. Thanks for picking up the can.

Tom, this video was wonderful!! Production elements were superb, but all that aside, it was so nice to see those wide open spaces and freedom of movement. In Canada we have been at home for may days now, with many more stretching out ahead of us. I am basically content at home, but this video made me realize how much more I will appreciate the freedom to roam at will when we have it again. Love, love, love your channel! Thank you!

11:12 I can smell the crisp morning air 😍

Brilliant wisdom Tom. I have long since realised that taking your camera kit on trips like these "just in case" rarely returns keepers but to hear it from the likes of your good self is important. I keep an X-T2 and 16-55 f2.8 as a "just in case" kit but mostly don't take it out of the bag when out on hikes or motorcycle trips. Hopefully we can return to some kind of normality before long and you can get back to posting the type of video that we all started to follow you for. Meantime stay safe and do what you can.

Beautiful area regardless of the fact that no pictures were shared. Thanks for sharing the hike and take care!

Thanks Thomas another very informative video.

Thanks Thomas - so good to see a bit of the Lakes when it’s out of bounds even for us Cumbrians during these dark days. Hope you did a bit more filming before lock down. Stay safe and let’s hope this doesn’t go on too long 👍

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I agree that a hiking goal rarely aligns to a great photo session, except for the lucky snaps along the way. That said, this was a most enjoyable videographer session, with some epic video “images” from both the camera and the drone. A great photo can tell a story, but never in the same way you did with this. I’m going to go pack some things for Saturday outdoors.

It's funny, when I started watching your videos I was mostly into photography. Then I paused my interest in that hobby and started hiking and now you upload so much content having both. Thanks a lot Tom! Stay healthy and classy :)

I totally enjoyed this video. I made myself a mug of coffee, sat down and started your video and i enjoyed every bit of your journey.

go bag, great to see you so chipper Mr H, a little flash back feel to this video. Love it

Just what was needed so thanks Tom. I hope you and Mrs H stay safe. See you in the other side.

Even though I am a photographer I started watching your videos because of the hiking! So don't worry about the lack of photos every once in a while, I just love the Lake District scenery!

I need to get myself one of these types of vans sometime in the future, I slept in my car last summer on a road trip to Norway (it was doable but this seems like a much more comfortable way of doing road trips for sure) Stay safe Thomas!

From Thursday 26th March the police are now stopping camper vans, motorhomes and caravans entering the lake district so I think this particular avenue of pleasure has temporarily been cut off, I've never seen Keswick as empty. It could also apply to other national parks.

I'm going to miss your weekly outdoor videos, they are the highlight of my week, stay safe.

Thanks Thomas, that beautiful walk was exactly what I needed right now! 👍

Jonathan Thill I’ve been reading comments to figure this out. I’m American but...

That was a very relaxing watch, thanks buddy, take care.

Awesome opening Thomas! I feel your pain on not getting a photo. I went out a couple of days ago to a new (for me) park and never took my camera out of the bag. But, I got out of the house and had a nice hike. And, like you I ran ito a lot of mud. Oh well, better than sitting at home. Thanks to you and other photography youtubers the days are a little shorter. Stay healthy.

Hi Tom! Thanks again for the video! I've been watching you for one year already and, as usual, you inspire people including me, to stay connected with the nature and feel it better. Now, being forced to stay home here in Romania, i'm actually editing my photos taken during those "golden days" let's say on one monitor and on the other one i've got you wondering around in nature taking photos. I like your kind of videos, that style, hm...matches my way too. Hey, and i've downloaded those tracks you've being using in your videos, playing them in my car while going out shooting and while i edit my photos, always putting me in that zen mode in which i'm immersing while watching your videos. Thanks Tom, good job as usual :)

I just got my new cannon and love to go on hikes on camping trips photography is a great thing and your videos are so inspiring!

Great video. Stunning views. Peaceful.

I love this tiny 35mm f/2!!!

amazing video :) thank you for sharing!

Hi Thomas. We Americans call that bag a “Grab Bag” Keep it stocked with those essentials and just grab and go. Nice video for these self isolation days. Keep them coming. Steve

Tom! The quality of your films have just been killer recently! Excellent content, and what a way to practice social distancing. I need a good hike soon.

Enjoyed the video. Appreciate the effort you've put in to make this 👍

That was some great scenery.

Thanks, Tom, what a nice hike you took! No matter there were no good photo ops, the hike and scouting locations were the focal point. I agree with you that you it's difficult to combine a hike with a photo shoot. I think it has to be one or the other. My wife has sometimes said, "Let's go for a walk and you can take some photos." It just doesn't work that way. Anyway, I hope you and Charlotte are okay, the new rules in the UK are a little difficult to follow, but I imagine you are now working from home, as so many are. Scary. Stay safe and well, my friend. Bob

Never heard of the Ullswater Way, so thanks for alerting me to that. My days of 20 miles in a day are long gone, but it may be a useful thing for bite-sized chunks. 100% agree about the mix of long walks and photography, must of the day is spent in 'bad' light and the chances of being in the right place at the right time are slim. Great scouting though. Thanks for sharing and please stay safe and healthy!

16:55 looks like the hills I was looking at when I fell down a hole last year 😂 Wandery chatty vids are my fave. Stay safe 👍🏻

Thoroughly enjoyed this Thomas !

I couldn't agree more, long hiking doesn't make for great photography, I had this experience hiking in New Zealand and the need to cover ground limits the the possibility to find good comps at the right time. Sure you see amazing things, but almost never at sunrise / sunset or at great lighting conditions. To avoid disappointments it's better to focus on either trying for great pics or enjoying the hike! :)

Awesome Tom 🙏🙏🙏 stay safe 👍👍

Great filming again Thomas. Really love your feed. Agree hiking and photography do not mix. I would also say holidays and photography, the same. I am seriously thinking of getting a Fujifilm X100V and putting it in my pocket and using only that. No pressure, no weight, just freedom to shoot.

started watching. so sweet. cinematography!

really enjoyed this keep up the good work fella

Reminds me of my first taste of the Lake District when I went to The Ullswater Outward bound school 64 years ago. First night we camped out was on Gowbarrow. I still have some photos somewhere.

Great vlog Tom just grateful you took us along.Only know Ulleswater from Howtown westward to Glenridding,some great views up there.

It's been so fun to watch your cinematography improve over the years Thomas!! Good work, way to stick with it!

Thanks for this. I was supposed to be at Big Bend National Park right now. Since I can't be there hiking and taking pics, your video was a nice substitute.

Beautiful video! Production quality keeps on going up. 👍👍

Loved the changing sound of the music in the intro!

Lovely video as always, Tom. The straps on the Osprey backpack look stupidly comfortable - so comfortable I could sleep wearing it!

Stay safe Thomas!

Take me along on any hike... I enjoyed this one!👍

I just love the image that comes out of the M50 + Sigma 16 1.4. I think it's gorgeous!

That opening sequence though! 🔥👏🔥

Great video! (I'm going to watch this video again in a year, to remind myself how hiking and travelling used to be before we couldn't do it anymore... God this is depressing.)

The production value just keeps getting better. Hiking pole doubles as a litter collector.

My God! Can be had the last opportunity to photograph in the field Mr Heaton. The world it be crazy now man! I hope i can to watch your next videos. I watched all them until this video. And i did like all them too. One hug from Brazil, friend! Light for you!

Thomas hikes are full of suspense, whether there will be a epic shot or not. Loved you vlogs, you are true man so close to nature and you never get tired. Keep inspiring bro and keep hiking and bringing us such amazing coverage.

Exceptionally produced video, Tom, you have to be the best on the Tube, as a previous viewer said 20 odd minutes of sheer bliss, many many thanks once again, till the next time...

I agree with the idea that it's difficult to do photography on longer hikes, especially ones that you're trying to complete in a single day. You focus in on cranking the miles out to get to your destination which prevents you from seeing what's around you. I will say i think you missed a comp at 19:15. I see great cloud filled sky, a great subject (tree in silhouette) and good light. But then again I had fresh eyes that hadn't just hiked 20+ miles. Thanks for the video Tom...great escape for the day!

It's Heaton Time 👍

The effort to do this video alone is incredible. What a way to get away from everything.

Great video, can’t wait to get back out.

Respect!!

Serious lake district blues right now. Awesome video Tom, loving the edits 👌🏻

I call it a "bug out bag" holds all the essentials that I would need in an emergency. If all else fails I grab that. It's in a small water proof case and weighs next to nothing. Never heard it called a baggie before, lol. Great video as always!
