Take as long as you need. I know this is easier said that done, but I hope you feel no pressure from us. I'll enjoy your content for exactly what it is, whatever it is, and however it turns out. It's unique to you and its your story. I know you put a lot of pressure on yourself, but I want you to know that I will support you and your videos no matter what. Thanks for being open--an vulnerable-- with us about your burnout. It's so real and I'd be lying if I said I can't relate to that feeling.

Thank you all for 4,000 subscribers. I appreciate each and every one of you who take the time to support my work.

[@moniquetempleton604]

As viewers we are so lucky to have you. You are meant to do what you do. All of your journeys have impact - thank you for sharing them.

Hi Lucas. I seldom comment on channels but, you might even recall, I have on yours in the past precisely because of the fact that your content is a pleasure to watch. The fact that you put in effort does translate, and you clearly have skill in this space. So thanks very much for what you are contributing, and the time you are taking to do so. Having said all this, and just picking up on your concern re: the longer term value/legacy of what your contributing, I reckon that there are things you could do, angles you could take, or perhaps even meaning you could extract from your experiences that would have more legacy value. I say this with very great respect but, you're a smart guy, and there is a whole lot more depth you could tap into. I'm thinking along the lines of Thoreau's Walden and that journey he took himself on, the lessons he learnt and shared. I kind of see some of that in what you capture. Anyway, just my thoughts by way of response. Obviously feel free to remove this waffle of mine if it's not in order, but hope you won't mind. Stay well.

Just do what feel right to you and we will all be inspired by your work. Your videos keep me inspired to continue working on our van and get it done for the fall and then ski season and then every season after that. Your videos remind me of what makes me the happiest and most peaceful. The ups and downs are all authentic and that is what makes your work memorable and worth so much.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you so much. i cant tell you how grateful i am to have your support on the channel. im glad you resonate with the videos. stay well friend.

[@jpickle4982]

I always enjoy the unique places that you take us to . The different perspective that you have to get away from the busy touristy areas and really enjoy nature as it is intended. Always enjoy watching your videos.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you julie. i cant tell you how much i appreciate your continued support on all of the videos.

[@DRMET]

Good score on the campsite! No need to apologize for stepping away from social media, to me ever. I enjoy your vlog a lot, but not at the expense of your well-being. Good to see you again, as usual surrounded by beautiful nature.

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you man! i really appreciate that. it makes me feel better all the support on this channel. always so nice to see you around the vlog friend.

[@JHSports]

[@deandrewhite9323]

Keep up the amazing cinematography man! Your B-Roll is nuts!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you deandre! i appreciate that man!!

[@jamesmccalvy9160]

We did that Bald Mountain hike about 9 or 10 years ago when we lived in the Salt Lake area and only had one kid. We encountered a whole bunch of mountain goats on the way up. They were probably about a hundred feet away just grazing. We saw even more on the way down. It was a pretty cool hike. We really enjoyed it. Glad you got out.

[@LucasCatania17]

thats awesome james. unfortunately, didnt see any mountain goats, but im sure they were just around the corner. excited to explore the uintas more this summer!

[@dicksonmclean1615]

Happy that you took a break. Great video!!

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you dickson!!

[@scottmiller9764]

One of my favorite close by place to go in the summer. Driving in reminds me a little of Yellowstone minus the geothermal features and crowds.

[@LucasCatania17]

definitely!! i could see that for sure! it truly is so accesible to anyone in northern utah!

[@dustingallipo9906]

Thanks for the great content and the beautiful views. Great ideas for future adventures for myself

[@LucasCatania17]

thanks dustin! glad you enjoyed the video.

[@skibombb5312]

I’ve been up to Mirror Lake a long time ago. The Uintas are beautiful and I really want to camp and ski there one day!

[@LucasCatania17]

that would be incredible to ski up there! i was thinking about how amazing it would be to bring a snowmobile up there in the winter.

[@jackhaskins5428]

I did the Bald Mountain hike last week! It was my first time up in the Uintas. So cool to relive it through your video. Too bad we didn't run into each other. Maybe next time chief!

[@LucasCatania17]

thats awesome jack. it was my first time too! such an awesome place, chief!!

[@cjthetraveler8309]

[@LucasCatania17]

[@mattpike8189]

Great video! Congrats on 4k too!

[@LucasCatania17]

matt! thank you man. hope youre staying well dude.

[@Greaso]

You being transparent makes me feel better about being alone in Steamboat. It’s not easy but it’s beautiful. Just wish I had someone to do it with, keep it up man.

[@LucasCatania17]

i agree man. we are together in spirit.

[@Greaso]

@@LucasCatania17 well said ✊🏼

[@justinbayola]

Thanks bro! Hope you’re staying well.

Great Vlog as always

[@LucasCatania17]

thank you dude!

[@jiljin1]

Finally, a number of views You deserve explorer!

[@LucasCatania17]

300?

[@jiljin1]

@@LucasCatania17 my mistake. I was sure it's over 300k already. This level would not be surprise for me.

[@jiljin1]

@@LucasCatania17 ....I am still thinking about the meaning, the deeper sense you are looking for..... For instance I am ok if things do not get overcomplicated. I look for stories, and the best stories can be slightly exagerated. In my opinion people seek other people stories. What is going on with the explorer who is talented photographer and movie editor.

[@jiljin1]

Oh....It should with a letter "k" oraz "thousand" after each number. That would do justice .

[@petermeglis]

I was thinkin' about ya! Glad to see you resetting and focusing on yourself. That area seems underrated, didnt look like there were many people there. I like that you try to find those places that are still incredible without the mobs of people lol

[@LucasCatania17]

peter! thank you man! appreciate you stopping by the vlog again! and yeah! it was one of those situations where the trailhead parking lots were full, but as soon as you got out on the trails, it was empty!

[@JHSports]

Here in Oregon it was like 108 at least where I live 🥵

[@LucasCatania17]

my dad is at mt. hood right now skiing josh!

[@JHSports]

Oh wow that’s cool. I’m about 2hrs from Mt. Hood, hope he is having a great time

Work gets in the way of fun. Fun gets in the way of work… at least for 99% of us.

[@LucasCatania17]

you got that right.

[@rizalhalim6164]
