2017 - Kraig saying: "I'm a minimalist" and carrying a huge pack for two days (I really find myself in that btw :D ) 2019- Kraig not stressing that he's a minimalist but carrying basically a day pack for the entire TMB. Next to the beauty of your videos, thats just a nice little touch of personal evolution. Love it!

This is a totally different version of 2020 silent and calm Kraig. Love your videos, helping me through my toughest days! Keep it up !

"You know me. I'm a minimalist." Brings coffee grinder. Ha ha ha. Amazing video. 👍

so different from your 2019 vids

There's a lot I love about this Kraig. Beautiful cinematic footage, gorgeous colours and a wonderfully portrayed story. The walk-through of your gear was interesting and the top it all off your humour made this so entertaining. Such a great film, thanks for sharing mate!

I love the Tchaikovsky 4th Symphony opening, suitably imposing and epic. I also like the camping kettle, no camping trip is complete without one. And I concur utterly with your sentiments, "never fuck up nature".

Hey guys! NY'er and avid ADK hiker here. In case you want to follow Kraig's trail, he probably parked his car at the ADK Loj and hiked to Marcy Dam, Avalanche Lake, then took the Hard Route up the SE side of the MacIntyre Ridge, opting not to do Iroquois or Whales Tail. On day 2 he takes the S trail around Lake Colden and joins the Mt Colden Trail, which loops around to Marcy Dam (only a few miles South from his car). These hikes are very doable for most people 1) In the right season 2) With the right gear. Do not underestimate them, I've seen hikers from CO, UT, and WA get stranded on the trails after dark because they underestimated their travel times; it gets real Blair Witch real fast in the ADK. But please, please, be respectful of the ADK. It's the largest State Park in the Country, incredibly remote considering you're in the NE, and very pristine. If you want to sleep in a bed there are lots of cabins at the Loj, and while Kraig slept between the trees, there are numerous first-come free lentos around Marcy Lake, Avalanche Lake, and Lake Colden. Last point of this shameless I

Those 17 minutes and 58 seconds went by too quickly! As always, I love your adventure videos.

Make a fucking documentary already and stop bullshitting around with your life. This made me so happy.

I absolutely loved this video man, I’m digging the commentary, you killed me with the “just took a couple of cute pics at the river”z

Oh man, I really enjoyed watching that, like a lot. Well done mate ✌🏼

Love love love the 'dacks! Your cinematography is incredibly stunning. Well done, mate. Can't wait to see what you have in store next!

I'm glad I saved this video up for when I had time to really sit down and watch it! It was so calming and beautiful and exactly what I needed! Glad you & your gear survived the mountains!

Your content just keeps getting better man. There aren’t many 18 minute hiking videos that are done at this level. Keep it bro!

Haha this video really shows your personality. Its awesome to see how much you've grown in all aspects.

I love the honesty of this. I truly love your silent videos too, but the honest of this is excellent!!!

Although others have commented this already, those drone shots were illegal, as you can't fly within state wilderness zones. It wouldn't really be such a problem, except when 20,000 people see it they are more likely to do it themselves as well, thinking it is OK.

Beautiful footage! The Adirondacks is one of my favorite places and you definitely did it justice.

Wow... The sunlight on the moutains, the colors in the trees, iced water...sensitiv man... Call of the Nature !!!!

Wise choice of music and the shots are insane! I love this so much. This is not like those typical travel vlogs with funky music and unnecessary slo-mo. This is just beautiful.

Awesome video! Just a quick tip for who read this comment, i don't want to jinx it but when boiling your water keep a safe distance while sitting nearby that if it fall of the burner the hot water don't hit you.

After watching your older videos like this, I'm so glad you don't talk in your hikes in your newer ones (or maybe you've matured quite a bit now)! Wow!

Beautiful cinematography, but two things; drone use is illegal in the area you were in and also, invest in a paper map. Never rely on a map on your phone (you can use it as a back up, but pick up a map and compass for primary use). Again, really nice video, though. I got a Katadyn Microfilter for water and it's the best thing ever. Used it during the exact same trip you did a couple years back, same time of year. Except my friend and I did Colden the first day, and then the Mac range the second. Amazing area

Kraig you're editing works so well with these hiking adventures. Straight fire!

that music though! Where do you find ?

Dang it. I have so much editing to do, and while I color correct I like to have "filler" vids play in the background. This is not a filler vid. I shall now watch this video while doing nothing else. :)

Didn't want to watch a 17 minute video but fucking hell I just did. Savage as always Kraig, looked like a hell of a time 🙋‍♂️

Dude Kraig, that is a dope edit. The music is perfect, the commentary is fantastic. I love this edit. Totally rocked it.

Revisiting this because I'm planning a 3 day backpack through the Whites in NH this year. How does this only have 12k views? So well done man, one of your best.

This thing was interesting from beginning to end! Love your content dude!

I was entertained from start to finish! Amazing visuals and humor, please do more of these outdoor videos!

drone footage is insane!

You’ve really gotten your shit together since you filmed this one! Thank GOD!

Ha! Your super funny ... thanks for this video , it's great..... as a frequent ADK hiker this was a kick to watch 😁

I have watched all your hiking videos and I love them. I watch the whole thing and love the cinematics. My favorite was when you went on th road trip to Alaska, with your brother.. I think I’ll watch it again! Keep it up love you’re stuff man

11:33 I'M PICKLE RICK!!!!

This was amazing, you killed this video!

Avalanche pass is mindblowing, Colden was my first high peak and I fuckin loved it. Cool vids man, good music

I'm enjoying this peppy version of yours XD Your later videos are wonderful, but this is something else!

love your editing style and overall tone of your vlogs.

Thanks for taking me along with you on this hike! I don’t think I’d ever have the balls to do this alone. You’re a beast!

“It is very cold up heeeere” haha. Youre awesome!

Since no one else has said this, you must camp on DEC marked campsites. It is illegal and against leave no trace principles to camp in unmarked areas in the High Peak Wilderness.

Beautiful scenery and entertaining vlogger. Nice. Good job, Sir! Thanks!

0:26 seconds in. Already my favorite shot of the vlog. So good lol

You are too comical. I enjoy your lifestyle. I just subbed

If you're still looking for a lightweight water filter, get a Sawyer Squeeze. Super small and light, and works as fast as a pump.

Excellent Tchaik 4 intro.

Awsome man, but.. Ditching is littering.🐾 🐾 🐾

Loved it! It´s grate to see some great content from youtubers who don´t only want to sell you something ;)

Sooo, been watching your videos for a while, its 23:30 and figured Id watch some relaxing Kraig Adams before hitting the sack . . . hadnt seen this one before, the other videos are so calm, professionlly done and relaxing, this one is so . . . real and I gotta say, I like it, I like it a lot, lol. (I was near to commenting a while back about maybe making some shorts on the real and messy side to your walks, they all seem so perfect, but I guess itd spoil the illusion)

Absolutely amazing. Keep up the great work

Nice drone filming dude nice job all around we love living here.!

Dang! I love how it goes from adventure vlog to cinematic heaven in a matter of seconds.

Going back through your old videos! So good!

One the things I love about Kraig is, we know this nigga making P'diddy's. And he could be out her buying G waggons n shit, but he's out in the woods making us Videos. What a G

I like watching your evolution of videos. From the silent cinematic to more personality & sass. Lol

Well done well done. Yours is never boring. I have never seen you talking this much in your videos.

Just by the intro, I knew it was going to be good!

Sure... it’s not like your current videos, BUT.. I LOVE the humor in all of your fuck ups. It’s amazing and makes me laugh so much. I hope you find a way to include current fuck ups with current episodes. Thank you for providing high quality entertainment and inspiration :)

I love the adventures like this! Great video, great emotions! feels like i am been with you.

Backpacking tip: get the 1L smart water bottles and a Sawyer Squeeze screw on top filter because it perfectly fits the thread of the bottles. Also, if you’re into a minimalist lifestyle you should try Ultralight backpacking

i absolutely love this video so cinematic and yet classic funny Kraig.

This deserves more views. Clean af brotha

Kraig,your lack of preparation back then is mind boggling...I'm amazed that you are still alive and kicking 😉

Craig have you ever hiked French louie's neck of the woods. There's a trail starting around inlet New York. Alot of the scenery in your video reminds of that area. Amazing job.

KRAIG GETTIN DOWN AND DIRTY WITH THAT MAKESHIFT COFFEE BONG!

Beautiful vlog Kraig. Love your adventures.

Man I am glad you have changed your older stuff isnt that great. Its cool to see where you were to where you are now.

Although this video is totally different to how you film your videos now. I really enjoyed watching it, you’re a funny guy Kraig..

dude youre just a very interesting person so ur videos are very like interesting lol love it dude inspiring!! and you just make good videos

I only found you yesterday and this is such a contrast from your latest stuff. Beautiful.

Great stuff Kraig! Love the hiking movies! Camp Kraig was 5/10

This was dope af Kraig. Well done man.

Kraig, just thought I'd say.. Nah, you already know you killed that intro so nevermind. You know.

10:10 THAT HIPSTER SHIT MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD thank u kraig our meme backpacker papa

Dude. You killed this. Great video Kraig!

Nice Video... every time you go out of the city you rocks. love it

The first 46 seconds are a masterpiece !

"I'M PICKLE RICK" was by far the best thing you could have said on the peak. Awesome job!

Great video! Sad we couldn't meet up that weekend, me and my friend hiked Mount Marcy and camped where you parked your car. Also nice music choices, I love Strahan!

Just a wonderful video. Makes me wish I was a young man again. Wondered if you were afraid of bears in the mountains as you hiked all alone. The drone shots were true beauty, and the occasional background music went along with the scenery.

Hii I really enjoy your channel ☺ Keep it up!

Died laughing at the trash and 3mph part 😂😂😂😂😂

Been there, done that. Awesome video 👍

I've done all these peaks many times. That fall smell of pine, leaves and moss combined with cool fall air...is really hard to describe. No matter what the temperature, I have always found a nook in the rocks on those exposed peaks that aren't that cold. Great for napping on a sunny day....if there aren't too many french canadians arguing about who makes a better espresso or doing the rude shit that they constantly do.

12 seconds in and I had to comment! The drone intro was just too epic. Damn

At 2.1 miles in you could have hid your gear and jogged back to the car for your forgotten gear.

Loved this one, very entertaining Kraig!

Beautiful, and I like how you tell the story!!

Just a heads up, ADK high peak region is drone restricted. Besides that, cool video 🍻

Hate when people take themselves too seriously. You don't. And, love it

haha you"re a funny guy. love watching your videos.

that bit about littering LOL go Kraig!

I’ve stayed at the lake house before with my wife. Super nice and well priced. Placid is gorgeous! Noonmark was one of my favorite hikes.

Hey man easy way to filet water is with iodine tablets! i never use a filtet system, and just fill up nalgenes and use the tablets! Has never failed me in 15+ years of drinking stream water. and very light weight! Cheers, great upload!

Fargo vibes in the intro. Dope video as always

Respect to the trail builders.

What was the song at 11:12?

BEAR BOXER CANISTER ITS CALLED I hike the Marcy loop several times a year love the LOOP!!!
