Wilderness
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.

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.
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!
Oh what a life of wonder and majesty.
the most beautiful declaration of love to the mountains I´ve ever witnessed. Goosebumps! Thank you so much!
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.
Absolutely wonderful! 🙂
Most amazing the scenes are simply breathtaking.
The dirt roads....I'll go with that Alastair. Wonderful film full of the visuals and words we like. All the best. Mark.
Beautiful video...and beautiful music too!
love john muirs work.
Beautiful
Sumptuous footage of some wonderful places. Lovely film and message. Nice work Al and Tem. ATB, Paul
A visual feast... loved the tilt shot from the red tent past the waterfall to the peak, beautiful images.
Stunning video.........I'm going to leave those little jobs till later, put on my boots and head for the hill!
Great images and synchronisation with the narrative! Beautiful
KZread 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.
Great film! Very inspirational.
into the wilderness I go where at first I see peace, but come to know
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.

Amazing!
Scotland is my Dreamland.
Absolutely beautiful and a reminder that I'm spending far too much time indoors lately.
Really beautiful! Reminds me that I need to get out there again.
This film is so awesome!
I'm just seeing the ending inspirational quote as an innuendo

What a beautiful video inspiring stuff.
Beautiful. Nice job!
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!
Well done! I guess I should get off the couch now.
Wow that's inspirational! I'm gonna go to the mountains asap.
Fantastic film Alastair some great shots and beautifully edited with the building of the music. Great inspiration.

This really moved me Alex, thanks for the great video!
great flic!
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.

Men should never stop seeking and longing for adventure
Beautiful vid, the words really resonated with me. Especially loved the shot at 3:53
👍 TOP 🔝
The three people that disliked this video are in my prayers
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.

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 KZread 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.
Does anyone know the music?
running water specks to me
Beautiful...……….would dearly love to feature your blogs and films on my web site.
Is there a transcript or copy of the speech available? I'd love to use this in one of my lessons at work. Thanks :)
