[@denise20240]

These are some beautiful picturesque canyons. Fantastic. Great photography.

[@michaelrogers9898]

You could just imagine T rex coming out very good video thank you.uk

[@pli5985]

I love your hiking videos. You show the spectacular beauty of the desert in its natural setting as well as the peaceful sounds of the streams flowing and bird’s singing.

[@sunnyday7843]

The videos are so nice ! The sounds of nature - the little music that you have is so much nicer than many folks use ! The scenery - wow ! So beautiful and relaxing.

[@WildlandExplorer]

Thanks! I prefer the sound of nature over a soundtrack nowadays.

[@TangoIndiaMikeJuliet]

I think I was hiking in those mountains the day after it snowed.

[@PeterFLB]

Looked like a bear to me that rock formation. Great video, amazing to see the desert so green!

[@bluwtrgypsy]

Been missing your videos. So nice to see you back. Thanks for sharing this beautiful adventure. Blessings

[@tangenttrails]

Perfect for a Saturday morning watch with my coffee! Thanks for sharing the journey.✌️

[@WildlandExplorer]

Gracias!

[@Flowsole_official]

looking forward to your next sharing

[@susannenerad9851]

Beautiful landscapes, you are very lucky to have such wonders to explore, glad to see the moisture, such beautiful greens in the desert, thanks for sharing your adventure

[@JustinMcKinneyhiker]

Wow what a trip !! The river crossings, snow dusted mountain tops, intense lush greens.... fantastic !! The desert is so beautiful in the winter !!

[@WildlandExplorer]

Thanks! I agree

[@RandallW20]

Ooooooohhhhhhh!!!! I’m so jealous man! Those ice and snow covered bluffs are just the pinnacle of the whole trip. I sure wish I could get out more to see this myself. Love the vid, keep ‘em coming!

[@pedrol8982]

Your videos keep getting better and better. Keep it up dude 🤙

[@delvinmorales9458]

I just found your videos and I have to say you're one of the top backpacking content creators out there in my book. Thanks for sharing all these amazing places with us. I hope you put more videos out there. Especially since I'm in AZ and it looks like your a AZ local too.

[@WildlandExplorer]

Thanks, you're too kind! I will eventually upload more videos. I have shifted priorities and taken time off from editing, but recently I've been getting back to it. I could release videos much faster but I take my time with color grading, as I want them to stand the test of time.

[@tandlsarizonaadventures9119]

Have you ever seen the Supes so green, beautiful!

[@luffypirate]

Awesome

[@pli5985]

Your videos are beautifully filmed. I love the raw sounds of nature. I am so happy that you have a hiking companion!

[@JasonVolk]

Stunning scenery. You captured the essence of that world. Awesome video.

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

Great hike and video. 👍

[@JasonFerguson1283]

Such an epic video!

[@DavidHerringtonOutdoors]

Everything about this trip was amazing, every day was completely different than the last. So many different elements in one trip, definitely made this one of my top ones of all time !

[@WildlandExplorer]

Hell yeah dude. That 1st day was a heck of an adventure!

[@DavidHerringtonOutdoors]

@@WildlandExplorer totally!! The hike out the last day was wild, too! Still can't believe we got snow, and how wet it was in the Supes! Such a beautiful transition from all the fire devastation, it was amazing to the see mountains alive again and all the water flowing. Epic winter trip!

[@jaguarsolo]

beautiful hike. Great job filming and editing.

[@michaelrogers9898]

Beautiful views thank you.uk

[@richardhelit844]

Cool bull pass & red hills

[@dr.maturin4648]

Thanks!

[@WildlandExplorer]

You are too kind. Thank you for your support!

[@dr.maturin4648]

The scenery was beautiful ! Haven't seen you for awhile; hope you're out there somewhere cool, if that's possible anywhere now!

[@WildlandExplorer]

It's really not possible at the moment to escape the heat anywhere lol. Eventually you will see I've done some trips in HOT weather this summer. I've been taking a short break from editing to focus on the personal life but I haven't stopped filming trips. I have like 3 or 4 videos queued in the editing pipe.

[@jakehedges2846]

I’m not sure if a canoo trip would interest you guys but the French river in Ontario canada is absolutely beautiful i think you guys would enjoy it and it would make for a great video.

[@dmn3773]

Was this the end of February by chance? I was out there the 26th and 27th iirc. Quite a wild and beautiful weekend of weather that was.

[@WildlandExplorer]

It was the 24th-26th if memory is right. We knew about the impending weather going in. Snow was still a big surprise. Like, I’ve seen snow in desert above 3000’ before but not like that!

[@dmn3773]

@@WildlandExplorer That was an awesome weekend to be up there. You likely crossed paths with my buddy in marsh valley. Lowest la barge looks like a jungle and an adventure! Good video man!

[@WildlandExplorer]

We did come across a guy who was camped out in Marsh. I stopped and was like, "Dave, you hear something?". Couple seconds later the guy camped out was like "I'm a bear rawr!" lol good chuckle out of everyone. Try that lowest labarge route sometime, it's right in the slot of wild adventure without anything particularly risky, really fun.

[@sprouthikes]

@@WildlandExplorer Hah, that was me, DMN's buddy. Like your videos, if I had known it was you I would've said hello instead of just pretending to be a bear! You guys must have camped real close to where I was. Was a beautiful morning to wake up to! I hiked up to Peralta via Dutchman and the snow and water were just crazy special

[@dmn3773]

Looking forward to future videos, hope you’re doing well

[@WildlandExplorer]

I'm still alive I just decided to take a hiatus from video editing for a while. At the level I'm at it's easy to get burned out as working with multi-cameras means you have competing white balance, sharpness, saturation to deal with; and my average hike speed when filming is about 1.5mph which makes hiking goals difficult to attain. My goal is to begin uploading videos again before the winter is over.

[@dmn3773]

​@@WildlandExplorer Great to know you're well. Completely understand; I've recorded some of my hikes, and the process isn't always easy or enjoyable. Editing all the footage afterward is time-consuming-typically taking several days for me. Always admired the effort invested in these endeavors. Excited for any future content on the channel.

[@navigator8222]

hope you're doing ok and have a full summers worth of videos to upload lol

[@WildlandExplorer]

I appreciate the concern! This year has not gone to plan, several big trips canceled because of wildfires, illness, injuries. but I do have 3 or 4 videos in the pipe right now. I hope this winter and beyond goes better. Thanks!

[@navigator8222]

Great news and that is understandable. I think you have the best hiking channel on youtube. I've seen so many but keep wanting your style instead. Hope you have better luck in the future.@@WildlandExplorer

[@shawnnimmer8170]

Hey were you doing battleship today? I thought I saw someone who looked like you on the trail

[@al_7778]

HI, hope you are all right ? I miss your videos 😥

[@WildlandExplorer]

Still alive. Just taking a sabbatical from videos for a while. Hiking around with a camera really slows you down out there and I don't have as much time for editing lately. I am pivoting toward more simple videos, maybe using only a GoPro to be able to get the footage without slowing down and easier editing.

[@ahbenjamin2889]

Hope all is well. You have not uploaded a video in a long time. Hope you are ok .

[@WildlandExplorer]

I am slowly making inroads editing 4 videos. I had a couple big trips fall through this summer, so my '23 video year is not as prolific. Hoping that autumn picks up! I feel like canyon country in october is overdue.

[@marvinrivera2982]

You hear a strange noise, what was that? Minute 8:42 /8:43 🫣
