Hiking Solo: Jirisan, Sicheon-myeon, South Korea

[@srabontrails]

I did hike to the top of jirisan three times. Every time i find different beauty of this mountain. I just love it. Fighting mate...

[@thelastofthegeojites]

It is truly a gem of a mountain! It just keeps on giving no matter where you start from! Glad you love it!

[@endahlestari2384]

thank you for sharing your hiking experience on Jirisan, it makes me want to go there asap, I come here because Ju Jihoon serial's, Jirisan

[@thelastofthegeojites]

You are very welcome and thank you for watching! I have heard many things about this series, I'll have to check it out!

[@jsh-k1n]

Hi...welcome to korea...You are the man~!! 😅😅

[@thelastofthegeojites]

Thank you! 😃

[@RaedAlibi]

I subscribed, I wonder why you don't have many followers, this video was so zen and makes me wanna go there tomorrow! Nice drone shots too, i also loved the framing when you reached the peak! 👏👏

[@thelastofthegeojites]

Thanks Raed! I think its because I don't post as much and this was the one video I have made where I slowed it down and focused on the hike rather than sequencing it with music. I guess you always have to stay true to what you are trying to show in videos, that's my tidbit of advice. But am glad you enjoyed it and thanks for subscribing. I have many videos in my back pocket that I look forward to unloading on here so stay tuned. If you ever get the chance try to go later on in the day that way you can avoid the crowds. That last shot gets me every time, its almost as if its superimposed! It was a great day for a hike. Have a good one!!

13:15 for anyone want to know what does that writing on the rock means : "The spirit of Koreans, originated from here."

[@thelastofthegeojites]

[@triamutia9242]

[@minininja4073]

Great. 멎져요.미국인.

[@jmsaguil]

Hello sir, is it permitted to fly a drone in Jirisan or did you secure a permit? Thanks.

[@thelastofthegeojites]

Hi! This was filmed several years ago and at that moment drones were a new thing and the regulations for it were quite relaxed. I would make sure to check any government website on the legality of flying a drone. Here is a website that I found updated this January 2024: drone-laws.com/drone-laws-in-south-korea/. I'm not sure about national parks though. Good luck with finding out!

[@m000008k]

Awesome 👌

[@azuke10]

Cool footage! I was hearing it could take a few days to really hike to the peak, like staying over night at a temple there…! I’ve hiked seoraksan and a few other Korean national parks but need to check Jirisan off my list

[@thelastofthegeojites]

Thanks! Yes, hiking to the peak of Jirisan can indeed be an amazing multi-day adventure, and staying overnight at one of the temples adds a unique experience to the journey and of course it does depend on where you start. It sounds like you've explored some beautiful spots in Korean national parks; Jirisan will surely be a fantastic addition to your list of hiking adventures. If you haven't already, I hope you enjoy it!

[@superyh2923]

I happened to watch your channel. All of your hiking looks great in the video :) So I was subscribe to your channel 👍🏻 I like hiking girisan and others korea mountains, Thank you for making a wonderful video of beautiful mountains in Korea.

[@thelastofthegeojites]

Thanks so much! I am glad you like them!

[@peikleanyap3048]

Love the video. Gave me a good idea of the terrain. I plan to do Jirisan in the fall but a longer hike ie from Jungsanri to Gurye. Would you recommend that? I'll probably do it in 2 nights 3 days as it feels like a long hike and we need to carry stuff for overnight

[@thelastofthegeojites]

Hi! Glad you enjoyed watching it! It is not for the faint of heart, though very doable if you pace yourself especially with alot of gear. I would definitely recommend a longer hike to take in all the beauty it has to provide. I also think you might have to book the overnight cabins in advance to save a spot as camping around Jirisan isn't really allowed. But yeah let me know how it goes! Seems like a fantastic hike!

[@FajarEkoP]

nice

[@무표-k2v]

good

[@Vlog-tx8rj]

I subscribed. The best hiking video I've ever seen. Thank you for introducing Korean mountains. I also have a small channel, but compared to yours, mine is embarrassing. Thank U for the great video. Awesome 👌

[@thelastofthegeojites]

Thanks so much for the comment, very kind of you to say. All videos are different but one thing I learned is to slow it down and focus on the overall feeling you want to portray for your audience. Good luck in future postings!

[@Vlog-tx8rj]

Thank you for your advice. I go to Jirisan with my friends on May 13th. I think watching your video in advance will be very helpful.

열왕기하 25 장 … 여호야긴을 통해 배워야 할 …. //. … 대단한 체구와 체력… 멋진 …사나이

[@thelastofthegeojites]

산은 나에게 그것을 완성하는 데 필요한 체격과 체력을 제공했고 나머지는 칭찬입니다. 감사합니다!

[@billyjean2905]

There's an old saying in Korea; Jirisan is magnificent mountain without beauty, Geumgangsan is beautiful but not magnificent. Guwolsan is mountain lack of both magnificence and beauty and finally, Myohyangsan is the mountain with both beauty and grandeur. It's so sad that 50 millions of Korean can't go Geumgang and Myohyang because both mountains are in North Korea. The division of Korean peninsula limits its people to visit spots considered to be sacred to Koreans.

[@thelastofthegeojites]

Yes, its definitely unfortunate that the divide causes such places to be unaccessible especially places of such beauty. Hopefully someday we can enjoy those places without having ties to political agendas as nature intended.🙏
