My man just walked the entirety of the MacOS background

[@chrishomer]

🤣

[@macbitz]

Apple could give him a free MacBook for that 👍🏼

[@stereoflava2788]

I love how the first half of your videos is just filming the hike in complete silence and the other half is explaining it. great format!

[@TheAllenski]

Totally agree

[@firmanfirdaus1306]

First time?

[@saavedramarcelo]

@H M Yeah!

[@francescadiana]

and then the fun last bts bits :)

[@Shane_Conrad]

I’m doing my first hiking overnight camping this month because of your films. Wanting to live more healthy and your films are inspiring! Hope to film some stuff too :-) Thanks for doing these films. I’ve never camped before. You inspired me to.

[@sudarshangopinathan5904]

Good luck and have fun. Hope to do one someday.

Great! Where are you going to hike?

[@jaithevegan]

Best wishes!

[@JZBZACK]

I’m about to do mine too! BECAUSE OF KRAIG.

[@nevaldis]

Good luck and be careful, man! Speaking of inspiring - I made my first prof hiking video because of Craig. May be smb enjoy it. On my channel

[@hakujo]

27 minutes and 44 seconds of relaxation. My body is ready.

Yeah, really relaxing shortly before monday 😊💆‍♂️

[@IndianaMint]

When you realize every shot he's walking away he's got to walk all the way back to get the camera hahaha. That hill tho :O

[@micaylaspencer9449]

Haha how many miles do you think that adds on? 🤣

[@shannonclark-rivera6676]

I thought he may have a very sophisticated drone camera, the Ariel shots are either his drone shots or some else’s from a plane, right?

[@perrysonier4285]

Maybe he has his camera on a drone and he does not have to walk back to get it

[@nickhennick]

I just got home..literally 30 mins ago home here in Oregon. Just spent 15 days on Catalina. We actually have generations of islander family there. The snack bar at the baseball field is named after our grandma. I absolutely love this place. I am now back home in Oregon on the coast here in Bandon and the cool climate has hit me w a sharp reality check. Again, what a well done video. I just swam at Shark Harbor by the two rocks and the boats there. At 13:35 at the very right edge of the screen is a plant. Just 3 days ago I had set my backpack there and spent the day swimming at Isthmus. Thanks for the great video and it really makes me sad leaving but this video in its entirety allows me to think about the amazing journey I just had. Thank you...

[@gabbypalmer1655]

I work at an outdoor store so all of my co-workers are hikers and gear heads and I have recommended this channel to each and every single one of them. We all love your peaceful and then informative videos

[@kraigadams]

good crowd!

[@JackHumphrey]

I think there should also be a sign under "Caution Wilderness" pointing the other direction saying "Caution 'Civilization'"

[@James-yi1vk]

Your statement is thought provoking. I will be thinking about this throughout the week. Thank you.

[@Morgancj]

I was born and raised and Catalina island. Recently after 22 years living there I moved away. And let me tell you how homesick this video made me. Absolutely perfect video. The music , the drone footage. Everything. I appreciate this more than anyone else on here. Thank you.

[@DA_Fuller]

I cannot express how much I love your videos Kraig. So relaxing, beautiful and refreshing!

[@ColinGrey]

I was thinking how weird this hike was, so many roads and no trees. The rolling fog saved it. This format is great, keep it up.

[@nekopurinchan]

Yes, your videos are inspirational. I have always wanted to do this but been afraid to go alone, and I started solo road-trip car camping/hiking in July thanks to you and can't get enough of it. Love every bit about it. Hope to start doing some of your trails in the future once I work my way up!

[@cyber_cowpoke]

Kraig, beautiful video! Those coast shots were absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing and answering every question I had in the after section! Can’t wait to see your next one in WA!

[@donsudduth]

I just want to thank you, Kraig, for keeping your latest videos quiet, calm and meditative. Really helps me during this crazy time.

[@spiderz06]

Your videos are truly ART! Thank you for the Peace and Serenity they make me FEEL.

[@echidnuttt9326]

Thank you for the content you make, helps me a lot. Makes it easier for me to study, having this on the table and just looking at it occasionally. Love!

[@AidaJof]

Loved this video of this hike. And yes, I love that you treat yourself at end with a good meal, wine & a good hotel. Thank you for posting.

[@Dragoon803]

I really appreciate you doing this. The thing I kept telling myself while watching was "If he can do it so can I." It's like no matter what is going on in the world you can't let that stop you from living.

[@pembridgehouse]

Thanks Kraig. Very enjoyable and so well captured.

[@mcparrishxx]

Kraig, thanks for the inspiration, and the thoughtful video. Keep it moving, man!

[@jaithevegan]

Was so happy to see this notification! In my cozy room with my pups, ready to relax with your latest installment. Such a great video, as always!

[@Kara_Bauer]

I grew up in Avalon on Catalina and when this video popped up on my feed I HAD to click! You did such a good job of capturing its beauty. I miss it so much now I want to cry.

[@cloudliflower]

im just genuinely so happy you got to visit all these beautiful places. i hope it does bring peace to you just as how your videos bring a sense of peace to us.

[@jaiden9204]

Love these videos! Your channel has become one of my favorites.

[@dr.p1497]

Wow Kraig, your videos are always awesome! They're very educational. Keep up the good work!

[@katbarron]

Thank you for helping me find the courage to venture out solo. I’ve always relied on others to accompany me in the outdoors for fear of the unknown, but your videos show that it’s possible to both survive and have fun with your own company. Keep inspiring :)

[@NeilBruder]

Another great vid Kraig! I really like this format you’ve got going. After the wordless, meditative first part it’s really interesting to get a breakdown of the hike with the all trails map plus the other info like cost and logistics. And then I appreciate the comedic b roll stuff at the end. Altogether it’s a great combo! Looking forward to the next one.

[@katerinakalogerakis7819]

Your videos are perfect! Exactly what I'm looking with hiking videos, simple yet full of emotion just from the vast landscapes as well as little valuble monents like pouring the wine and having coffee. I'm blown away by the drone shots too and the music choice is lovely! Thank you ♥️

[@adventurecoalition3690]

Stunning views, very relaxing. Makes us want to get out and explore. Thanks for creating.

[@christinapeebles361]

Your videos are works of art. Thank you for sharing these with us.

[@g.mumford7980]

These are simply the best videos! Love the music and the views!

[@kolansito7730]

I love Catalina, now I love it much much more. Thanks for the great video.

[@David-jo3ke]

Kraig, because of your channel and videos, I’m walking/hiking the entire Camino de Santiago over 36 days at the end of August. Thx for the motivation!!

[@TheCulturalBomb]

I've been extremely down and low in recent weeks, but Kraigs videos are a genuinely a great pick up. Tranquil and beautiful. Thanks Kraig.

[@philiprogers8620]

I liked all the little clips at the end Kraig, that’s a good touch. People can skip if they aren’t interested, but many of us will enjoy the “extras” that don’t make the main cut. Thanks for sharing the hikes!

[@RoamingThePNW]

Wow I was literally just rewatching some of your vids bored wanting more content and then I come back and this is live. The timing!

[@AquariusTraveller]

Thanks very much for sharing this hike and so much detail included. Much appreciated

[@jeza8138]

Watching some of this footage with the classical music in the background actually really reminded me of The Trip to Spain/Greece! And then you mentioned it at the end, I can definitely see the inspiration! Great vid Kraig!

[@hugocenturionsempertegui7264]

Your videos are inspiring me. Really thankful!

[@tylerofviolence]

I thoroughly enjoy your content, videos, edits and the way you do provide a better way to understand your inside of mind. Love it and enjoy it keep it up. Kudos and pushing us to go out and explore.

[@elvisexplores7768]

Watching this reminded me of my trek back in 2019 with my dog. It was not as dry as your trek due to the unusual amount of rainfall we had that time of year. Definitely brought a smile to my face watching you stop and camp at the same places. Enjoyed reminiscing while watching this.

[@CanadaModel3]

I honestly find your videos so relaxing.. especially with all that is going on now days.. glad your still making videos and traveling let's me travel without leaving the house truly amazing.. thanks for taking me along on your vacations

[@frankmancini]

Another beautiful, moving piece. Totally and completely inspires me to get out tomorrow.. I was already planning a hike, but maybe.. a little longer. Thank you for these, Kraig. Your art is impactful.

[@jaclynbrown1826]

I just recently discovered your channel and your videos are so calming to me. I love the explanation of everything at the end and the little outtakes to see more of your personality! Thanks for the great content.

[@Rudy1150]

Love this style of video.... extras at the end were a nice treat. Well done.

[@SamuelMonteiro16]

I'll say this if no one else has, your on the way to 1mill subs. Content is great and true. Keep doing your thing, calm relaxing vibes and definitely motivation to hike more. Thank you Sir !!!!

[@500sammmy]

your films are inspiring, Kraig. Im heading out west this week to some real hiking, Montana and Wyoming have been something I've looked forward to for years and your films pushed me over the top. safe hikes man!

[@lm108]

Brilliant, wow. The music was incredible.

[@peeticek1624]

Love it as always! Well done Kraig.

[@anonymousdictator]

I grew up going to Catalina as a kid. Haven't been back in about 20 or so years. Glad you got to hike & enjoy the island. I definitely need to do this one!

[@layasii1544]

You have inspired my husband and me ☺️ we will start our first hike in Utah. We have learned so much from your videos from food to clothing etc. Thank you for your videos !

[@timmytanksley9593]

I grew up on Catalina and I miss it a lot. Thanks for taking me back!

[@claudioherrera9153]

Gracias por crear estos preciosos, inspiradores y relajantes videos. Un saludo Kraig desde España!!!

[@hdtravel1]

Thank you for sharing your hike with us - so relaxing and soothing to watch.

[@michaelfrsh4712]

Awesome Video! Its always really relaxing to watch your Content!

[@ProSkiTV]

I really love that you take some time to explain things after the silent film sections of your vids. What it was like, what you used, the gear, what you wished would have been different, all of that. I appreciate it. Now I want to look up that travel show you mentioned.

[@tomaustin4526]

Very cool hike Kraig 👍😊🏃🏻 always enjoy your videos and your comments. I like your idea of adding in more typical tourist places and things to see and do. I do this on my trips also. Trying to learn more about the location and people is a big help before visiting so that I hopefully don’t miss an awesome opportunity 😎🎥🌎❤️👍😊🏃🏻‍♂️🎈thanks for sharing and safe travels

[@bkbrown5881]

I have been watching your videos for a few years now. You have really gotten good at painting a picture with your video edits. I love these videos of these trail trips. Nice job my friend.

[@thomasarcala1382]

Going on Monday. Thanks for the video. Man you are a beast hiking 20 miles a day. I have been working on hiking this past year with over 600+ miles under my boots in full pack. I have only been able to go 13 miles at most in a day. I believe I am ready for this. Thanks for the video.

[@jamesongiamo4932]

Love the videos dude keep up the good work. They're super relaxing and I love the ambient music. I love how you recap what the hike is like how you experience it trip itinerary and cost. Awesome format keep up the good work dude

[@alexfigueroa3549]

You should had gone to Catalina Island during late winter or spring when the grass is green and the sun isn't trying to kill you.

[@P0WERB0TT0Mx]

agreed, i did in in winter and it was perfect

[@TiburonSurvival]

I grew up on the Island and hiked every trail there was as a kid. Hiking for me is no longer in the cards, I appreciate the great video and drone work and the spectacular scenery. I'm homesick. Great Job!

[@eddydubois4411]

I absolutely love how you hike solo. I'm from Vermont and do the same, love your videos, great motivation. Keep making them.

[@travismolly4654]

I just hiked Half Dome Ca. had a great time you're videos are excellent please keep them coming.. Steve

[@buddhimanivantha6719]

These videos are very relaxing. I like the way you are editing these videos. 1st part only contain natural sound and 2nd part is very detailed guide. Thanks for making them. Keep it up

[@jungroe94]

That scene in the end with the bottle of wine and cheese on the patio at the end of the hike was priceless! I've been to Catalina Island last year, and your trail hike looks inspiring! Something I'd like to try next time I'm there. Enjoying your videos.

[@countrysidewalker2004]

It's a wonderful video of a trip. I was healed by watching.

[@laurenellerbeck89]

Epic with the misty clouds There is ALWAYS beauty to find on days that are not perfectly sunny!

[@Ninjamstrboy]

awesome! love your detailed explanation. especially about battery usage.

[@danielcasas9239]

Thank you so much for yours videos, i'm a fan... Dani from France.

[@kingcountyband]

Great video Kraig. Just enjoying a Sunday morning watching it with some good coffee. Thank you! (Also you've redeemed Catalina from being the pos OS on my mac). And YES you definitely deserved that spendy hotel at the end, perfect.

[@nazlihashim146]

So calming and relaxing...as always..

[@stretchmjr]

I have watched your videos for a while now and your production is like nothing else and quite unique. I tbink it is fantastic and as an putdoors person I appreciate the time and effort it requires to get this footage and put it into an experience for people to share your journey. Kudos to you 👍

[@TheShopRealTalkAboutTheLord]

Another really solid one! Thanks Kraig.

[@MsRforch]

Omg. Your end commentary/clips are life! You've captured my mental stages during hikes! It's funny what your mind wanders off to when all you have are open spaces before you!!

[@paulwilson3434]

Thank you. When I was 25 years old 42 years ago I went there with a doctor friend ( I was a student ) on his sail boat. I was so sick had to get a hotel 🏨 and go back on big commercial to San Pedro. Memories. Many thanks. You are a 😎 guy. Keep it up. Always have to eat that burger eh should have had a bison burger 🍔 revenge !

[@canusdominici]

Well done as always Kraig.

[@alonzovillarreal4666]

Stellar work Kraig! ❤️👍🏻

[@soaring1]

Very strange hike for you indeed. Great filming as usual. Thank you!

[@lauradonelson8794]

thanks for the vid...i liked how you kept it informative at the end and just let people enjoy it with some soft music. I went to catalina in 6th grade on a school field trip and i hope to go back one day. I went snorkeling and saw some full on bat rays! lol...it was one of the best experiences i've had.

[@ThePedalboardOrchestra]

The videos of your hikes are always very inspiring. Great work with the camera, it's a lot of hiking three or more times the same thing. Also love your ambient music, and the infos at the end.

[@saavedramarcelo]

Excellent man! I can't stop watching!

[@davidsanders1170]

DUDE! Love your stuff I just found your account and you are inspiring me so much!! Thank you for all the info you give about the hikes I love all of it!

[@JeffGoddard]

Outtakes on this one were great! Keep it up!

[@kamremstedt8251]

Favorite channel on youtube appreciate your work! also the blooper roll was great haha

[@AlesandTrails]

Always nice to wake up and see a new video, keep up the amazing work

[@minttummn]

Watching this channel is like making a bucket list! Everywhere you go inspires me and it grows my will to travel

[@Arcticfox7]

Travel is overrated.

[@jacks.4062]

Gray Arctic Fox why?

[@minttummn]

Why wouldn’t you wanna see all these beautiful places for your self!!

[@sea_yung]

@@Arcticfox7 Your channel is literally dedicated to ASMR nature videos, how can you say travel is overrated lol

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Beautiful Kraig. Great work! It is definitely a different and weird hike. You never really feel that you are in the backcountry so to speak. I couldn't imagine doing it in the summer. You are a beast. lol I'm with you...I prefer the mountains, but in the late winter when everything is green, it is really beautiful on the island.

[@marieleelee]

I'm originally from California and living in Arizona and I have been feeling especially homesick recently. Thank you for this video. I know it's not but it feels like it came at just the right moment and for me.

[@jasoncox5450]

Amazing. Thanks for posting!

[@alexdeleon1582]

I just gotta say I always love the end of the vid when we get to see what you say to the cam

[@annaiina4679]

Amazing video quality and footage! 🤩

[@DanielLane]

Another great video Kraig!!

[@jasonaaron1077]

Just woke up and put this on. What a great way to wake up thanks for making great videos dude!!

[@CallumTash]

Just found your channel. So much inspiration! Thank you

[@Wingedbomb]

This made me legit cry. being vulnerable with my moment. beautiful stuff.

[@AntHeywood]

Really inspiring stuff... and such a refreshing change from the usual KZbin blogger / 'influencer' videos with their often asinine ramblings. Beautifully shot and nicely edited. I'm currently working my way through your back catalogue of videos. Delighted I happened across your channel.

[@NickandRachel]

So beautiful out there I love the solitude! Thanks for sharing

[@TheHungryHiker]

I just recently put the Trans-Catalina Trail on my hiking list. I want to save this one for either Winter/early Spring to avoid the heat. Loved all of your advice for planning this one. Super helpful!

[@homerurbanozo1043]

Hi Kraig, thank you so much for your hiking content. I'm relatively new to hiking. I started only 2 years ago as a new year's resolution. I hike once a month here in the Philippines. Plenty of quick day tour hikes but there are some, where you can squeeze in a camping session. Sadly, because of COVID, I haven't been able to hike since February this year, and I expect to be unable to do so for the rest of the year. Your content helps tide me and my hiking buddies over during these tough times. Again, thank you so much, and take care of yourself out there! Keep it up!
