I just have to comment on this. I don’t think I am exaggerating if I say this is possibly the single most impactful video I’ve ever seen. I am so grateful that I stumbled upon it. I am a man who loves nature, it’s natural sounds, spectacular vistas, but also the subtle beauty that most people miss. I love to capture it all in my own photography. I love to hike, climb, and camp. This video is absolute art. Much like someone might stare at a painting and feel deep connections and emotions inside, that is how I felt watching this video. It connected with my spirit on so many levels. This video is a gift and obviously it has been enjoyed by so many others. But this wasn’t just another hiking video to “like”. Watching this was an EXPERIENCE. Thank you for this art that captures the essence of a spectacular place I may never go to, and does so in a way that magnifies and inspires. It just might be the best video I’ve ever seen.

Love the use of time lapse as another element to enhance the viewers experience. Like Kraig you recognized the importance of the senses. The shots of food, coffee, and lodging are what really make the viewer feel like they have experienced the trip with you! Bravo and Thank You!!!

What a truly magnificent document of 12 days in the Mont Blanc Alps. I was blown away. Every clip was precious. The bravery to do it late and in the snow made it even more special. Your attention to detail is staggering. And the drone panoramas and night-time cloud time lapses movie quality. Your style and dedication to setting up such a huge variety of wonderfully composed shots is perfect. I hope you enjoyed the process as much as I enjoyed watching. I'm so glad and inspired to have seen this. Please keep up your good work.

Plenty of imagination used in choosing what to film. A real tour de force. Also there cannot be many who have done it in autumn conditions. It looks very different from the usual summertime views - even better! Thank you for giving me so much pleasure.

Magic in action. But it is the intimacy of the colossal that truly impresses me. I think every solo hiker can sense the weight of a step in relief against a billion ton of granite and the sound of that step in the midst of a valley wide gust of wind when they see your film. The drone only intensifies the particular solo view of the massive; how else can you convey those dimensions? It's so well done, so respectful to the natural environment and to that particular experience - so generous, really, to all of us who just have to get back up there. The best hiking film online, thank you!

I've seen numerous videos of individuals trekking the TMB, and I have personally completed it five times in both directions during the summer and early to mid-autumn. However, I haven't walked it in late fall when snow is already present. Your video is perhaps the only one out there of walking at this time of year, and it's definitely one of the best. Excellent job!

Thank you so much! The story behind the cheese and bread: the first village I came through in 2 days didn't have a supermarket or restaurant (all closed for the season, Google Maps doesn't tell you that). I still had 2 days to go till the next town, and was low on food. I ran into a guy doing some construction to his house there. I just boldly asked him for food. He invited me in and sold me some of his own bread, goat cheese, apples and a can of soda. It was the best food I had on the trip. (;

Spectacular video. Everything from the drone, camera angles, closeup shots, storyline and hiking were amazing. This is like watching a hiking documentary from national geographic, very well done!

Non avevo mai sentito così vicino a me Dio guardando questo video...una sensazione unica...di una bellezza inaudita...tra vette e rocce...profumi impercettibili...ho avvertito forte il senso di una bellezza straordinaria ed ho esclamato: In tutta questa bellezza Dio è presente! E' la mia sensazione, non la vostra, la mia, ed è ciò che sento nel cuore, essendo ipovedente e non avendo alcuno che mi accompagni su questi sentieri, non vedrò mai tutto ciò e mi accontento di questi video...viaggio con l mia immaginazione.

I have to put the translation here, such a great comment: "I had never felt God so close to me watching this video ... a unique sensation ... of unprecedented beauty ... between peaks and rocks ... imperceptible scents ... I felt a strong sense of extraordinary beauty and I exclaimed: In all this beauty God is present! It is my feeling, not yours, mine, and it is what I feel in my heart, being visually impaired and having no one to accompany me on these paths, I will never see all this and I am satisfied with these videos ... I travel with my imagination." Thank you Antonio!

You have incredible pacing and agility, especially downclimbing steep snowy slopes in only hiking boots and I don't see you using "cleats" at all. Your pacing speed is admirable, very consistent video to video.

Thank you so much for this video. I've watched it so many times in just a few days. Breathtaking your shots and just...really good job, good music, beautiful time-lapses, and I really love those longer shots with you off in a distance. Please keep making vids like this! = )
