During late august of 2021 i went on a journey that would change my life forever. It was my first ever solo trip as well as my first overnight wild camping experience. I spent 2 weeks hiking through the Alps of Switzerland, going up and down every day, swimming in freezing waters and setting up my tent in the most surreal locations i could ever imagine, in total covering more than 100 miles. Safe to say that this trip meant a lot to me and i can't wait to hit the trail again.
When it came to editing this video it was no easy task especially when you have 7 hours of footage, the first 2 weeks i spent just thinking which clip to put first in the timeline, i knew what kind of a video i wanted and i did a lot of planning but despite that it still felt like a black piece of paper, now almost 1 and a half months later i'm finally happy with it and i'm super stoked to show it to your here on youtube, any feedback wether positive or negative will be greatly appreciated and if you could share this video amongst your friends and followers it would mean the world to me.
if you have any questions about the film, the shooting or editing process, or my hiking experience feel free to ask in the comments which i will cover in an upcoming behind the scenes video

07:26 "They will call you quiet because you're perfectly happy in silence. They will call you weak because you avoid conflict and drama. They will call you boring for not being an extrovert. They will call you wrong for having different beliefs. They will call you a loner because you're comfortable being on your own. They will call you lost for not following the same route as others... Let them call you what they want, you don't have to play the part they want you to play."

but people are quiet when they need to speak up when there is a wrong situation going on, people are weak when the situation demand you to be strong in the name of equality and justice, people are boring and unimaginative when expose to new possibilities. People want to be alone because they cannot take the pressure of being responsible to someone other than themselves. People take the wrong path just to prove a point rooted in faulty ideologic.

@@dutchmilkbut what if most of the situations in the person's life don't need for them to be not alone, to be strong, to be not boring, to be extroverted etc, but they're still expected/forced to just because of social norms and stereotypes? It isn't always escapism. So one could respond by saying: if there isn't a need and still you're forced to do this, then you've made a mess of your own life and given away your freedom. - So that is why we claim what is ours back and get going alone. Getting rid of the mess. Get creative in our own ways, as our own situations demand. Not the creativity that's pre-determined to be in a box by others.
I'm leaving my comment here, so whenever someone like my comment, I will be able to watch and listen this beautiful scenery and voice again and again.
I'm 57 years old, and lately I feel like I have no purpose. Every week for months on end, I watch this video for inspiration on how to produce my own, and every time your video changes my whole perspective! Thanks for what you did here, it is my medicine.

So much incredible technique working, so little to say. Oh wait, It's a commercial - ok, sb will buy it. The problem with todays young storytellers is; they have all the equipment in their hands - but are totally confused about what's making stories really is: expression of the emotions ppl experience when they see, the single, the individual story is just a not a single thing, it's about all of us; that's the core of the old saying: there is no better way to beginn a story than: Once upon a time, there was.... Truth is, you will be judged for your blabla... This world of telling is on an horrible downward spirale, where ppl. can't discern anymore the easiest things concerning the meanings of their lifeless overaesthetically blown up artworks...

This channel is so underrated! Beautiful film!
That's what you call simplitcity at its best. No fancy transitions, not much camera movements but man, all I can see is it was so engaging and so moving that I wanna go on another solo trip and film something like this. People might not know but it takes a lot to film yourself at such higher altitudes as you're already tired physically and mentally that it makes you wanna give up and also makes you end on a creative block because of all the fatigue. But kudos to you man that you managed to keep up with everything and create so much beautifully composed shots.
Thank you. This movie is outstanding on so many levels. The footage, the editing and the color grading all work together to capture the viewers attention so the message can both be heard and felt as each scene unfolds. Well done. On a personal note I grew up in the analog era well before the internet came along and I never felt my childhood suffered from the lack of connectivity we have today, but after watching this video I can say it would have been nice knowing there were others like me out there. I spent most of my youth exploring the woods, rivers and streams near my home because it gave me a freedom and comfort I couldn’t find anywhere else. Cheers!
Love it!

We love to be alone, but we're not really alone.... This short film and comment section proves it. Made my soul smile! Beautiful job!!
" Even a bad day of hiking is a day you will remember." Love that. goes to show what happens when we open up our perspective of being in the moment, instead of finding things to pass the time. The reason that those certain activities we find to pass the time, is because we are choosing to disconnect. Not always a bad thing, but how much more powerful is the message that this video shows, that being; instead of choosing to disconnect we are choosing to .. connect. Excellent work. Thanks for the message.
I've watched this video more than 10 times, and I always say the same thing: the mood and atmosphere are just perfect!!! I love it! I'm looking forward to the beautiful spring and summer days to climb these mountains and trails! Congrats on the time invested in this video.
Wow! The detailing and quality of this short film could not be expressed in words. Real treasure is hidden here.

Finally i can say i have watched a story i have always wanted to watch. Being a filmmaker i feel a little jealousy that i was not the maker but this is an inspiration, this is definition... This is everything life is.
This captures basically every aspect of why I fell in love with hiking and being on the trail! Awesome work!
the dynamic range of A7S3 and your grading are at an other level, absolutely love it! wanna hear more about it in the BTS
One of the best and most gorgeous outdoor videos I have ever seen. Beautiful editing. So peaceful and majestic. Does stir memories of hikes I have taken. Great job bringing this together.

I doubt that you get the criticism and judgmental comments he refers to. Hiking is the most popular sport in the U.S. with around 881,000 new hikers in 2022 for a total 59.6 million. That is almost one in four Americans adult who identify themselves as a "hiker". And there are 51.4 million campers.
It's one of the best shorts I've ever seen! I congratulate you for doing what you did and also for sharing those beautiful words. There are people lost in this world, living lives that don't belong to them. They should break the structure in which they live and realize that they have a world to discover, and this video can show them that. Thanks for sharing your amazing work.
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video...it explains perfectly who I am...nature is my therapy....thank you for this
Absolutely gorgeous. The color, the angles, the narrative, sounds, all of it was great - well done!
this video made me understand that there are people in this world who share the same mindset as me! far from chaos, spending life in the lap of Nature enjoying your own company! and about the video - the narration and the shots are 😍

Exceptional. Extremely well done, every facet. From lighting, composition, to sound and cinematic shots. Wonderful work.
This is absolutely gorgeous, the shots, the sounds. Everything just fits so beautifully together. I'm speechless.
I had goosebumps watching this. Literally felt that I was there. I didn't know that I needed this. No extra effects, just pure nature and its stillnes. The stillness and the calm in this video was so contagious. I feel nothing else but inspired to be this away from the world or I should say this close to the WORLD.
Made me tear up. What a beautiful thing it is to experience this existence!
W o w! This literally felt like my usual daily thoughts, every single thing you've said in this video... I'm a bit surprised to finally have stumbled upon someone who could exactly say each thing that I relate to word for word. Truly amazing work, and the views are just so breathtaking too.
This was an amazing journey, the cinematography was outstanding. you're a great storyteller and I appreciate this content during these crazy times. You've reminded me that I need to get back to the mountains. Time to get my tent out! thank you brother
Wow! This is one of the best short films I’ve watched this year, from the visuals, sound design, composition and the way you created all this emotion through your voice combined with the music was truely amazing!
no words man, my eyes teared up.. you nailed it.., the cinematography, sound engineering, storytelling, colour grading, the way you shoot yourself, the editing, everything. it takes a lot of effort doing these things on your own. And yes all of this effort to create this masterpiece paid off. You inspired the hell outta me. I was having doubts whether to consider photography and cinematography as career option, or should i even invest in a camera, i will for sure now. Again, Thank you for creating this masterpiece👏👏🔥.....
This short is amazing. Specially first 45 seconds, that sound effect, base and video transformation, kinda epic editing. Great WORK.
this is incredible, truly inspiring and so very humbling. sound design was on point, and the narration to; definitely told a story that so many of us can resonate with - well done !
Wow! Beautiful shots, simple yet powerful edit and such a strong message. I'm happy that this gem popped up on my feed! Well done!
I have never seen this kind of video, super amazing and i can understand how much time and effort you have invested to get this top notch qulity thing. Take a bow my friend.
I appreciate your words, photos, and drone footage. I got to experience a brief stint of this Sam kind of experience all over the US myself and nothing made me feel more alive, free, and content. I can't wait to jump back into it when I'm financially able to again. City life is no longer anything I crave. "I leave reason behind and leap into bewilderment." - Rumi
Nature never fails to astound me. What a gift to be on Planet Earth!
This is a masterpiece man! I love your images, composition, colorgrading, it would be nice to know which lens you used, picture profile, settings used etc, thanks and keep up the good work!
I also want to salute the message behind your video. It wasn’t just a skills showcase (like so many vidéo out there on KZread) but it feels like you took the Swiss alps to convey your message and not try to force a message to “explain” the swiss alps. I like that stance, it was beautiful and worth a watch from beginning to end because of your storytelling enhanced by wonderful images. Never forget, like you did here, the message is key in a world where showing off skills has become more important than delivering an impactful message. Cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭
