Washington Summer - Living in my Jeep

[@go4x4media]

Spectacular video! Your hike must have been twice as long, considering all the different camera angles your have setup, respect. The scenery is stunning. Love it!

[@tilbintt3491]

Can someone of you do a proper rainy camping video? Can't find a decent one on KZbin. It can help me fall asleep a lot quicker. 😅

[@go4x4media]

@@tilbintt3491 Can't wait for our rainseason to start in Australia, there will be plenty rain camping then

[@drewsimms]

Thanks man. Appreciate the kind words. Digging your channel as well!

[@Desireanavarro]

@go4x4 you and Drew are the reason I went camping for the first time this past summer! So inspired by the videos! Drew what a synchronicity we ended up camping Mt. Baker about a month before you did and your video it some serious justice! Thanks for Reigniting my passion for travel and film guys! Keep on posting! Love it!

This is by far one of the most beautiful channels here on KZbin! I just cannot believe it! Right away I feel so calm and at peace 💕💕💕

[@theyoungrider5449]

yeah the captures are amazing

[@drewsimms]

Really appreciate it Faith! Glad you enjoyed

[@aj3198]

Check out “Mav” he lives out of his pickup truck. Awesome channel as well.

[@farwest9218]

As a native washingtonian of 30 years this brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for portraying my home in a way I could never explain to others with words.

[@brandonbenefiel5361]

Couldn’t have said it better. You can never explain the sheer beauty of this state to its fullest extent. This video got as close to showing it as I’ve ever seen.

[@drewsimms]

So glad you enjoyed the video and happy I was able to potray it in a way that helps reflect just how beautiful Washington state really is

[@skurinski]

its just a shame its so badly managed though, especially with Seattle politics dominating the entire state

[@enochenochenochenoch]

Respect to Drew for running back and forth setting up cameras for the cinematics

[@drewsimms]

Always worth it haha

[@autobotguy]

Seriously though...no one thinks about that. There is no separate camera man!

[@Bhanuprakash-tq9mg]

I thought it can be done by drone haha!

[@mianro_1980]

Your quality, including drone footage, every angle and choice of music is out of this world. Thanks bro from Ashland, Ky.

[@drewsimms]

Thanks so much Levi

[@nKw-qg5tt]

Bro from another jeeper to a jeeper 👋 you also drove past my house .😊 Glad you enjoyed Mt Baker. They shut down our roads due to all the trash and garbage people dump. I

[@drewsimms]

Such a beautiful state

[@LRC5555]

Epic doesn’t even begin to describe. Gorgeous views and vibe. Killer music choices. Looks like a perfect time. Bravo!

[@drewsimms]

Love to hear that. appreciate the kind words

[@jeffmorris739]

Wow that drone footage of Mt. Baker coming up through the clouds was just breath taking. Well done.

[@drewsimms]

Thanks so much Jeff!

[@elib7311]

The life you lead…solitude, beauty, no sounds other than earth/nature. Thank you for sharing what you see, but also, from above, what none of us would ever see unless we could afford to pay for someone to pilot a plane for us; a whole new view of the natural beauty around us. The time you invest for your viewing pleasure-I am grateful.

[@annettec8555]

I remember the fireweed on Mount Baker back in the 1970’s. We really liked skiing in the sun shine on Mount Baker…the ice crystals that formed on the snow were breathtaking.

[@timw3411]

You’re gonna make it big time. Just ride the wave. Fantastic work, Drew!

[@drewsimms]

Appreicate it Tim!

[@pamalvestad3848]

Your creative eye to catch this breath taking scenery is amazing, but to but into film that makes one feel as if they were present in the moment is phenomenal

[@spencerhurst2652]

This is my favorite video on youtube to come back to when I need some peace. Thank you, Drew.

[@Drose419]

Most people don’t ever really get the chance to experience the calm , quiet, peacefulness you get in remote places like this. It has a way of putting things back into perspective for ya. Get out there!

[@MarcosUSaful]

This is weird but, when I go through stress at work, I think about your videos and I have a rush of good feelings instantly. Never thought a KZbin channel would do that for me. You have a gift to get the right images and sounds that gives peace to my soul. Thanks a million Drew!

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

Thanks for bringing us along Drew. Great video and scenery .

[@drewsimms]

Thanks for coming along and the continued support

[@Koyostrasse]

09:17 The music and the scenery are just perfect. I had to screenshot it and put it on my Notion to remember (please allow me to use it. It is for personal use only). You are such an inspiration!

[@houstontexas4658]

Ahhh, nice to see some old stomping grounds!

[@AtikAilesi]

You’re the best ✌🏻

[@Soufiane.R]

Hey there ! I watched couple of videos of yours.. I really like your channel ! Peace from 🇲🇦

[@scufi2561]

Gerçekten öyle

[@drewsimms]

Thanks! Your winter camping videos have me excited for some snow soon!

[@shubobtv]

We can't fully comprehend the thinking and effort you put behind creating these masterpiece youtube videos. All the various shots and angles and choice of music etc, perfect each time. Thank you for allowing us the easy part of just sitting back and enjoying it all! 😊 keep up the hard work!

[@georginasmith]

The time you took to get every little detail videoed for the stove set up. Just wow. Impressive. And, it does matter. It makes the viewer feel like we're doing the task too somehow. Immersive storytelling.

[@maoyida]

Therapeutically beautiful and soothing. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@dgourdine50]

The beauty of your journey is that it is perfectly imperfect.

[@markg3025]

The drone footage is inspirational. Thanx for taking us along for the ride.

[@drewsimms]

Love to hear it Mark. Thanks brotha

[@greenthumb1523]

I watch your shows are the asmr cooking. I love all the sounds of sizzling food, chopping, coffee prep clicking, it motivates me to work

[@YRYSBEK_ELIM]

Please make videos like this more oftenWatching your videos makes me feel like I'm reborn. It seems that I have not even seen our world by 1 percent. This is wonderful. I am writing this from the heart. with great excitement in the hope that you will read. I want to live, enjoy the moments. And see the world with your own eyes. I will travel like you. Good luck Drew. You are the best.

[@silverwing4222]

3:20 those are some nice roads! Last year when I went to baker every road I was on was a nightmare with potholes

[@C.Hawkshaw]

We went camping all the time. My mom and dad and us five kids. One time my mom forgot to bring a pancake flipper so we had to use a saw to flip the pancakes. We used to take long hikes and go swimming.

[@vinsonw821]

I don't think people realize how much work it takes to get these shots. Absolutely amazing work bro!

[@lutherlutes7568]

You have an eye for beauty! Thank you for taking me places that I will probably not ever see!

[@huginnnz2158]

You are one talented individual. Thank you for sharing and bringing all this beauty into our homes.

Simply a work of art! I can watch (or just listen) to this video again and again.

Love to hear that Luis. Thanks for the kind words

[@LuisRomanVlog]

@@drewsimms hope you are well Drew! I am sorry to hear about the recent incident.

For anyone wondering the song at the beginning is "Oh Great Mystery" by John Lucas. Such a beautiful video!

I can’t wait for winter camping / truck camping something about it is beautiful and brings peace ! Keep safe and keep the amazing content coming

[@drewsimms]

Not ready for summer to be over yet haha. Winter is always fun though

[@obomasinladen]

Dude I fucking love this. I've been stuck indoors all winter yearning for some backpacking/forest road exploring in my pajero. Thanks for reminding me why I grind away all fall/winter. I love these mountains. Cant wait for summer.

Super inspired by this vid, currently watching it in the middle of winter and dreaming of the warm sunny days in the outdoors.

[@quintinsmith2661]

The new style of video is incredible! It really draws me in and makes me feel like I'm out there enjoying the silence and the amazing views.

[@drewsimms]

Love to hear it Quintin!

[@Lottiecrea_yt]

A pleasure for the eyes, the ears, the brain and finally the body as it is finally relaxed.

Just some tiptop camera work Drew! If you ever want to explore WA with a couple of local folks, let me know! We may be planning a trek around Naches next weekend!

[@SwiftPushkar]

Superhuman videography , Extraordinary videos. I especially like your cooking style , just simple. Bravo ,keep it up & best regards. And yes thanks for sharing such a fabulous videos.👍👍

[@MC-zz7eb]

Just moved this summer to Denver from Washington, Mt Baker was one of if not my favorite area in Washington so remote and so much to explore

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Drew, you and your channel are so beautiful! It’s amazing how incredible the areas circling Mt Baker are when forest fires are not raging in the summer and fall months, unfortunately it seems to be the norm now. I’m glad that you had enough clear skies to share some amazing footage.

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Mitchell! Definitely unfortunate that fires are becoming a normal summer occurrence at this point. Washington is still something else.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

@@drewsimms The volcanos of the Cascades are really beautiful!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

@@drewsimms I am so sorry about the break in of your Jeep and especially for the loss of your backup hard drives. It will be a minor setback in your long and successful career and life, but it does take away your innocence and the good feelings that you had about humanity. You will probably never know who did this to you and you will now have to live with sophisticated alarm systems. So many van lifers get broken into and then they install alarm systems. Unfortunately you are most often in areas without any type of cellular signals, even with devices that magnify weak signals, there still has to be something to magnify.

[@garyhinton1609]

Thank you Drew for the beautiful respite.

[@leslierosslentz1988]

When one needs an escape you really provide that. Just found you. Now our lives at home have something marvelous to watch. 🙏🏻 thank you.

Gulp. Lump in my throat and tears in my eyes throughout most of the video. You are so talented at capturing our beloved mountains here in WA State. I've lived here for 54 years and you really captured its essense so beautifully. You are very talented. Thank you for bringing it to all of us! Safe journeys!

The first camping video I ever watched was by Drew. And now I always eagerly wait to see your new video. I had watched this one earlier too and now watching it again. Every time it feels so fresh, so good. You put in so much work and dedication. Marvellous. It’s so difficult to make these videos, and so few people understand this. Thank you so much. Sending you best wishes for a wonderful life. Take care.
