Not really! Grand Canyon rim to rim! A whole book of people who died

I'm thinking about doing this hike this winter. Was there much accessible water, or did you have to stash it pre-hike?

Wow, great job Samuel!! Loved the choice of video clips you mixed for the song. Fit so well!! Nicely done sir!

You should get some snake boots ot raps to put around you legs so you,ll be safer next trip.

Most terrifying hike ive ever done.

Outstanding video. Thank you so much for creating and posting

Just did this in June and have to say probably the worst trail I’ve ever done unfortunately. Terrible marking, gps from Gaia and onX didn’t align. Completely overgrown, in terrible condition from the horses, way to much road walking, all the water sources were dry except for the main creek.Was really excited as there’s not much in the Midwest with this length and difficulty but I wouldn’t recommend. Garden of the gods is pretty though!

Pine mountain trail is a beautiful trail the rugged terrain such beauty song was awsome

Thoroughly enjoyed this, I was mesmerized! Count me as a new subscriber. Hiked here for 5 nights just a couple weeks ago, trying to escape the heat in South Carolina. Maybe I should try a hike in January? Not!... Not yet anyways. I know I have much, much to learn about cold weather hiking/camping. One question, how did you navigate all the rocks on Huckleberry Trail?

That was great. Love the Deep South. New sub from the UK 👍

What did you use for navigation on this section? Did you have a map?

I’m sure there are worse. I’ve been on it. There are handholds and safety rails installed judiciously for the casual hiker to hold. The ladder rungs are necessary to scale certain sections but when was the last time a ladder scared you? If so, don’t do this trail.

I've watched this several times already and will probably be singing it to raise our spirits the next time we're trudging through the mud on the PMT. A major contribution to the legend of Pine Mountain! I'm so glad to see that everyone else is enjoying this as much as I am. It brings together all of your talents in a way that captures the essence of Pine Mountain. It really came together well. The recording sounds great, the color grading fits the mood of the song and the trip, and you nailed the troubles we faced on that hike. I was actually starting to think about doing the PMT again until you reminded me how difficult this trip was 😅 0:32 It took me several viewings to realize you can see us standing on the ridge in this shot! 1:42 I love this shot of me and Nick and our weary satisfaction. 2:00 So much stuff happened during this trip that I forget that the first section (with the caves and arches) was the same trip as the rest of it. 2:32 Nice catch on the old wheel. I don't remember seeing it. Great image. 3:25 I love how the mountain looks in this shot. 3:40 This is probably my favorite shot/lyric combination in the whole video. I still have nightmares about that rhododendron hell. 4:15 Nice night-lapse! Is this the first night? 4:33 This shot says it all. It makes me shiver and hurt just looking at it. Very accurate portrayal of the last day, haha. 4:30 Knights of the Satchel! 6:15 Your sacrifice in getting this shot really paid off. It did not disappoint. Part of me wanted to stay up on the tower all night and watch darkness fall over the mountains, so I'm very glad you gave me an opportunity to see it. 6:45 All the drone shots are great, but I especially like the cloud shots, and how the video is bookended by us leaving/entering the clouds. Perfect ending! Thank you for putting all of this together. Your work really paid off, because this turned out better than I could have imagined. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next, and to more time on the trail together! Cheers, brother!

LOVED THIS! I've been taking a winter hiking vacation in the Mount Rogers area for the last decade. I didn't get to go this winter. So great to see my "happy place" in the cold, snowy conditions I'm used to. Until winter comes, this wonderful footage will inspire and tide me over. :)

...well done...

Pine mountain is definitely on my bucket list

Amazing. Moving. Beautiful in song, lyrics, and photography. I will replay often to feel the mountain. This ballad belongs. I’m thankful for your talents and endurance that enable these echoes of your deep connection with the mountain. This is great! Keep on keepin on.

Great video of one of my favorites places to backpack.

Awesome stuff! As Nick said; HOME RUN 👌

This is wonderful! Very Isakov sounding. Love it!

KZbin actually recommended this to me! 😮 Great job!

Samuel!!! This is amazing!! The song goes perfectly with the video and you sound so good. I’m going to need you to do this more often!

I watch all of your guy's videos, but man I love this one a lot! You really captured Pine Mountain really well!

Chills! My moonshine-making-outlaw-Pine Mtn ancestors would approve 😉 and so do I. Enjoyed this so much.

BRUH!!!!! HOME RUN with this one! That was some epic footage, and I loved the color! We'll chat later about that! Dang, bro! Loved it! I can't believe it's been over a year since we had that trip! Your song captured the soul of the mountain!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

What a beautiful song about someplace so significant to you and the “trail tribe”! You have cut your hiking teeth so to speak on this mountain ❤. The melody is perfect with the lyrics and the footage you put with the video😊You never cease to amaze me with your God given talents🙌🏻 Proud of you ! Love you!

This is such a well made video! I love the Grayson Highlands but have never seen it in the snow. So pretty seeing the ponies with snow on them.

Great video. Some gorgeous scenery and views, well edited and your narration is fabulous. A very enjoyable watch.

Glad you did it man!!! I've done alot of sections of the knob and I know the struggles of that trail!!. I'm finally getting ready to tackle the whole thing in the fall!. Congrats again and order you the patch if you have lnt already!!

My sister and i r going at the end of june. How were the ticks? Cannyou suggest campsites? I looked on Alltrails and found nothing. Is this an out and back or a loop?

Do you have a map or route of your trip that we can follow

Seems like not many people thru hike that trail so there isn't much support or people to meet

I enjoyed your narrative

The trail is not dangerous whatsoever.It is laddered the whole way up....😂edit...was one of funnest trails i been on though 😊

I would absolutely love to find a good group of hikers to enjoy this trip with

I was just here this week, did the 24-mile hike, and seen over 20 snakes 1 being a timber rattle snake 🐍.. One of the most peaceful moments i had in illinois

Nice playing you guys!!

Will be doing this exact trip in the middle of May. Parking at Garden of the gods and getting a shuttle to Lust Creek. Super excited! Thank you for sharing and providing a preview.

At 36:55 what waterfall is that?

Beautiful❤

This style of video is like a cup of tea for the heart and the mind. I appreciate all the tedious effort that went into camera placement, editing and music choice. I'm sure a hell of a lot more work goes into these than It feels like it's worth. But for me, now, here....I am grateful to you for it. Cheers

My son and I have gone to Grayson Highlands the last two years. We stayed at the Comfort Inn in Abingdon and walked to the same mexican restaurant you went to. At night they have a lady that does guacamole at your table. Last summer my son wanted to climb some rocks at the highlands when out of the blue two F15s come flying at 50 feet above us. Of course without any warning there were no pictures of the event. We live outside of Louisville.

I am pretty late to the party but I want to sincerely thank you for putting this into the world. Reverence is not something usually associated with adventurers seen online but I think it's something all naturalists feel, even if they are reluctant to talk about it. You've captured an echo of the magic to be experienced by being quiet in the presence of nature. Thank you.

Iv dug clams for a long time...I can tell you, you do not want to squat and dig like this.. trust me your knees will thank you in the long run. With that out of the way. enjoy them clams!!!

😊😊 3:50
