I Hiked 50km For One Shot in the Canadian Wilderness Landscape Photography

[@sophietucker1255]

It was worth it just to see the look that Amanda gave you about the "stuffing it" comment. Can't wait to see the images

[@TonyReidsma]

You’re a blessed man to have a wife who enjoys what you do.

[@SteveP_2426]

Amen!!

[@MrShmellit]

WTH!? I thought it was only a vision board right now!??

[@GaryTischer]

Don’t think Amanda has snagged him yet 🤣 Not for the lack of trying though - maybe a BIGGER vision board is required 😉

[@wallybeep]

Gavin. I love you. You seem to be a uniquely lovable, but most definitely, a seruos man. At one level, your're a first-rank gooball. I just watched Heaton, and then Adam. To be sure, they are both consistently brilliant. None of them, however, or any of others of yoir ability deliver a ... that I-need-to-watch--Gavin's episode feeling. You entertain. (Duh!). You manage a "show" so very much worth watching, just because you do it so very, very well. Most importantly, for SURE - what you deliver for us here weekly is wonderfully pertinent. Really? It's just wonderful. .... and at the end of any of them? Gavin, you teach. You have a gift. Fun and goofy, but never without serious, teachable substance. Props. Major ones to you, and those you love. They all brighten the lives of your fans. You brighten mine.

[@Rwm18]

Very entertaining vlogs Gavin. You make this photography genre funny and a joy to watch. Should be proud of what you've created. ✌️

[@jaburchfield7194]

Oh THANK GOD!! Voting day RELIEF!! LOVE it!!

[@boblacourse1430]

Hey Gavin: Always look forward to your videos. you guys make me laugh! A little advise on your camping gear. Your sleeping bag and tent is way to big for backpacking. Get a down bad that is lighter and compresses down to half the size of the one shown. get a 2 person tent with 2 - vestibules. lighter and much smaller than you have shown. Also your platypus water filter in my opinion takes up to much space and is time consuming in the backcountry. can't think of one I use, but research the filter that attaches to your 1 litter water bottle. Just fill water bottle with any water source and drink. No waiting and much less to carry. With all the camera gear you have to bring, it's important to carry less weight in your pack.

[@weswheeler3674]

I have enjoyed your videos for about 2 years now. I seriously don't understand how you and Uncle Grumpy do not have millions of subscribers yet.

[@lowellprice6351]

I definitely enjoy your videos. Not only do you bring a lot of talent in the craft, you bring humor and a bit of fun as well. Amanda and Brent are great to have in your videos...Amanda for your humorous interactions (plus she's great to look at and watch) and Brent for the humor but mostly for his photographic expertise as well. I truly enjoy going to your area of the world, and thoroughly enjoy the videos taken on Vancouver Island or on the mainland side relatively near Vancouver, as well as in Yoho - Banff - Jasper National Parks. Keep up the great work.

[@pattymattes7124]

That is an amazing shot. I can't wait until the next video. I needed a smile on my face today. Thank you for that gift!!!

[@michellewesson4409]

You dropped this video on the perfect day. I am avoiding the tv election noise (US) and stress, and your videos make me laugh out loud. This is a happy place. BTW.. there is a product you can get called Beano that is pretty good to cut down on the methane from all those beans.

[@PhotoTrekr]

It really is the best feeling when you get to your campsite after a long hike and kick your boots off! Gorgeous location.

[@gregoneil3523]

Ah, that warmed the cockles of my heart. So romantic, the 3 of you on the communal pool. What a life.

[@kurts_aviation]

those moonlight shots are fantastic Gavin

[@roberthennessey128]

Awesome..hike. I laughed and laughed again..ty. Great shot of the moon lit mountain..water was smooth ..did you use a filter? Beautiful shot...can’t wait for the next v blog ..be safe out there.

[@fototripper]

no filter. no need.

[@louisruth9348]

Gavin, you crack me up!!! When its pouring rain out in Seattle, WA and I can't go outside to snap photos, I watch one or two of your videos. Your personality and laugh are awesome and the way you come across on your You Tube channel is perfect. Your adventures and your photography are both beautiful. Your trips with Amanda , sharing your experiences together is what its all about. Keep up the commentary and great videos, thank you for all you do. Louis Ruth Photography

[@fototripper]

Thanks Louis :)

[@darksideemt]

Great one! Loved the moon light shot, I was lucky when we were at Grand Teton and it was a full moon so I got a similar one there. Can't wait to watch the next video for the gorgeous sunrise pics.

[@klausschleicher523]

What a start to a new day. ;-) This episode was so entertaining. Good work Gavin, Amanda, and Brent! Can't wait for the second part.

[@johnhorsfall]

Great video Gavin. I really like your bag kit for the portable water and the jetboil is always useful

[@rajeev1107]

Moonscape shot is brilliant and beautiful!!!!

[@wendynewing8834]

This is brilliant! What a beautiful image and location too. I'm so looking forward to the next episode. Thanks so much.

[@davearchbell9921]

Uncle Grumpy did a boot review. I think you need to do a flip flop review.

[@dcallan812]

Beans = dutch oven time. 🤢 Tip for Amanda, hang a bar of chocolate on the back of your pack..... quickest hike ever. 🤣👍👍👍

[@robertspeicher5047]

Lol. Planning a hike...Never realized how much fun planning a hike can be. Laughter on the trail, eechoing off the hills.

[@dougsturgess2651]

You two are so cute. I really enjoy following this series. Good, fun work.

[@EduBroncano]

Wow. I though my wife's patient with my photography was top... Until I realized about Amanda's patient with you. She's a gift from heaven, you already know, isn't it?

[@darrenleigh2957]

This is the only channel I don't mind sitting through add content for. Two out loud chuckles here!

[@neildeathridge2985]

You are a true legend and a true inspiration Amanda too but not quite as much as you, awesome blogg all the pleasure you give our family in your videos you should be a mbe at least

[@bobrichardson1017]

LOVE your videos! You work tremendously hard on your content and that shows!

[@rbeaubien7868]

I did the same hike in September in order to get a sunrise shot at the lake. Beautiful spot. On the hike out came across grizzly bears (mother and cub) along the side of the trail. Hikers were walking past in groups. Looking forward to your next video.

[@57northphoto32]

Genuinely a tear or two of laughter, can’t wait for parts 2,3........

[@stevebrown1974]

I love how your test shot is better than any picture I could ever take!

[@s1bur]

‘You just keep tugging” lmfao. Can’t wait for the next bit.

[@mikeswoods]

Absolutely brilliant ............. Of all of the photography vloggers on YT, your videos are head and shoulders above everything out there. BTW .......... your photos are pretty good as well 📷👍

[@stephenjuk8910]

Something to watch whilst putting the Christmas decorations up!

[@frankwhittemore9149]

Absolutely fantabulous!!!!! Enjoy your videos !!!

Been feening for a "juicy" video recently and you have delivered. Well 50%, 100% when the follow up video comes out😎

[@elainewilson4886]

Congratulations on reaching 50k subs. Well deserved. Here’s to the next 50.👍

[@fototripper]

wooohooooooo

[@johngrahamcurry1641]

Amusing (for a yorkshireman) and a high quality photo at the end of a long day. Keep up the good work.

[@599miata]

Great video Gavin. I really like your bag kit for the potable water. No pumping required. 👌👌👌

[@thelonghaul5214]

i used to make Mac n Cheese with corn and hot dogs mixed in. the hot dogs were cut up of course. Now i make it with caramelized onions and bratwurst, preferably something spicy, like a jalapeño cheddar brat.

[@JeffWeymier]

Loved it. I would have had to be dragged in after 10k. I admire your adventurous spirit. Amanda is hilarious as well. I’ll have to send you some of our local chocolate.

[@markelroy7774]

best one ever! can’t wait for the next one.

🥰 Ahhhh, the week is saved, a new Fototripper video 😍🥰 Ok, first liked and commented, now watching 🥳🤩

[@valpayne2963]

A classic! Looking forward to next episode.

[@volodymyrcuza9994]

Thanks a lot for the great video! Can't wait for the second part!:)

[@clartypaths840]

no bum wipe? I use sphagnum moss, it's everywhere, it's absorbent, anti-septic, and kind to your nether parts, as long as you remember to pick out the twiggy bits first.

Nice to see Amanda's lovely truck !

[@mickcarr5031]

absolute class you guys, absolute class. cannie wait for the next one.

[@barbarajames4933]

The Starbucks packets contain turkish grind beans, killer good. I also like the Mount Hagen instant coffee packets. Much rather lug choco bars up the hill than a coffee bean grinder. I don’t miss carrying 27 rolls of film around either. 💥

[@jasonschnorr8893]

Come on...just give us the next episode already...this isn't cable tv. Also, great video! Thanks for keeping us all entertained.

[@SightseeingStan]

Great stuff as always! Made me laugh out loud more than a few times hahaha

[@TheMrericmichel]

awesome video, location. fun video too. you guys should try biltong, great trail food, really trezmendous. keep up the great content.

[@EduardoVasconcelos1143]

Finally!!! These big Hollywood productions should be faster putting their episodes on air!

[@AmorLucisPhotography]

LOL. I recognized the Tonquin from the three abreast crapper shot at the beginning. Bugs?! You should have seen it this summer, mate - worst bugs I've ever seen in the Tonquin. One of my favourite locations though - and you're right, better as a sunrise location.don'tcontours to

[@fototripper]

I flat refuse to go there in the summer. That marsh is bugsville

[@astralbody]

Sexual innuendo, wild camping, adventure, grand plans, photography, and beautiful scenery. Sounds like a typical fototripper video. morale section....:) Haha excellent as always! Learning whilst laughing makes it memorable!

[@gabyisphoto2379]

absolutely gorgeous evening-test-photo !!!

[@thebeardedgeordiephotography]

Just the pick me up I needed tonight here at work! Cheers Gav, looking forwards to the next episode 😂

beans and clean fresh mountain air, beautiful combination 😂 ooo I vant to visit Canada! You brought a table????

It's getting to the point where this is the only photography channel I really look forward to. What is wrong with me?

Omg, had me in stitches yet again, so addictive Gavin :)

[@jimgraves4197]

An excellent start to what looks like an epic adventure. :D

[@simonbarnes7124]

Well done on the 50K Gavin. You deserve it after all you’re hard work and countless outtakes. I laughed out load, 3 times and I was only into the video by 2 minutes. Don’t tell Amanda I used to be a wedding photographer as well as a landscape photographer, or that I’ll be in Canada next year. Otherwise you’ll be walking down that aisle faster than your little flip flopped feet can carry you.

[@fototripper]

hahahah, thanks a lot Simon.

[@peterknight9873]

Whistles are also good to take for two reasons. 1) They scare bears... 2) Better than shouting for help three sharp blows (pardon the pun) on the whistle is better and easier on the throat / voice cords...

[@fototripper]

Or do they attract the bears?

[@peterknight9873]

If you want a really good way to scare bears.. Have an air horn... Failing that ensure you have a good pair of trainers to out run the person you are with... Natures rule "Survival of the fittest..",... Heheee

[@fototripper]

@@peterknight9873 I hear it has the opposite effect and sparks the curiosity of bears. Where I live, bears clearly care nothing for car horns and the noise of humans. It doesn't deter them.

[@peterknight9873]

@@fototripper Interesting dilemma.. I also read that when the pepper spray dries it attracts more bears.. So it's true make sure you can run faster than the person you are with... In regards to the whistle I was informed the whistle should sound at greater than 120db. Car horns are usually around 109 and 110 db.. Maybe the internet has too much information and confuses.. The simplest is good running shoes to run faster than the person you are with is the safest..heheee.. Great videos and very entertaining... Keep it going..

Man... yours are my favourite videos on KZbin!! Yes, my bottle of Shiraz is almost empty.

[@SteveP_2426]

Yes found the Kind bars on Amazon UK Gavin. Sorry can't do those instant coffee sachets...Raw Bean or Lyons coffee bags for me. Wish I'd had one of those ponchos when I was up in The Lake District last couple of weeks. Despite the Shimoda cover my Action X bag got quite wet. I'll have to invest in a poncho like that before my next trip. Looking forward to Episode 2.

[@fototripper]

They are pricey but effective.

[@slowlyrusting4044]

I started dehydrating my own backpacking food many years ago. So much better tasting and healthier ( salt to your personal taste ) than that store bought crap. On a side note, that crapper would take some getting used to, especially if a stranger came along and sat down beside you. Wonder what the icebreaking conversation would sound like ?

[@hilarywhite0]

I always save your videos for a treat and of course a chocolate bar is compulsory!

[@AlexMcDougallPhotography]

Well worth waiting for. What a great looking place. What's this hibiscus tea rubbish? What no yorkshire tea? Yeah the "stuffing it in " comment and look was funny. Thanks

[@MaximPodbereznyy]

KIND bars are even here in Russia yet! Just fell in love with them when visiting the states

'Keep tuggin' 🤣 Can't wait for the next one 🔥😂comedy gold 🥇

[@filton12]

I was waiting for the Blazing Saddles "beans around the campfire" scene, kinda glad you didn't include it. Guess you'll make up for it in the next vid by having the 3 amigos crapping al fresco. Spielberg must be eating his heart out. Have you tried lighter hiking boots/shoes? I've been using Altra shoes for my day hikes for the last 6 months, love them. Not as rugged as what you wear, but I hear people use them on big through hikes, A.T. , PCT, etc.

Sheepskin foot beds help a lot in keeping your feet warmer for longer. They will still get cold eventually, but I find they keep me toasty standing around in British winter's.

[@M.Campbell]

That is amazingly beautiful country and if that's a test shot then there are some really amazing photos to come. Isn't there a back country lodge in Tonquin Valley that Adam goes to? That place where you can ride a horse to the lodge, sleep in a real bed and probably get mac & cheese with no corn. If you don't want to ride maybe you can just have the horse carry your pack. It's something to be considered for next time. I'm sure Amanda would be on board.

[@fototripper]

I'd prefer to carry in my own gear but I hear the food is excellent at the Lodge. Maybe we'll try it.
