This video was beautiful from start to finish. But waht striked me most, was the first 8 seconds of it. Sitting in your comfy warm van, which by itself stands within a snowy natural environment, having this gorgeous view out your back window. It's like having a villa in the woods. There is nothing better than an evening winter landscape. What I enjoy most about those mountain shots is the peacefulness and natural beauty. No man-made structures, no sounds of cars or planes, no houses. Untouched nature without anybody around to bother you. That's priceless.

You might also give a Fisher Peak east of Cranbrook a try, but should likely wait for summer. Thanks so much.

I like how on this one, where one minute your laying on the snow tired and exhausted and the next your camera is up above you and your farther down, just so you can get the shot of you climbing up. For a minute there I thought you had forgot your lucky charm and then it showed up at the end. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along. I really enjoy it.

Also I believe you mentioned you need to look into upgrading your van equipment. It wouldn't hurt to reach out to some of the companies to see if they can sponsor you. That way you are able to try out products that will suit you while being paid at the same time. Just something to think about. Enjoy your channel by the way! ❤
