I’m Blind and I Survived Climbing Mount Fuji

I traveled to Japan with the goal of hiking Japan's tallest mountain, Mt. Fuji. As a legally blind traveler I documented my hike in the off-season to share the challenges a visually impaired person would face taking on Mt. Fuji. This was a childhood dream of mine since I was a kid.
Inspired to travel by my favorite video game series, Pokémon, I played the classic Gold Version on GameBoy during my journey leading up to the climatic ending of the game on the real world equivalent to Pokémon's final dungeon. This video is a second half of my film 'From Pixels to Peaks' that excludes the day to day Japan travels and highlights of the Pokémon playthrough leading up to achieving this dream.

THIS IS SO UNDERRATED

[@othinus]

hello there James. Love your content. would definitely appreciate a review of the Sony HX99 RNV retinol projection camera kit. The 14-day free trial is sadly only available in the US and I have found no reviews anywhere online. I'm from the Philippines and would definitely appreciate a hands-on perspective from you on how useful this product could be to someone who also has premature retinas. Good cheers and only the best of health to you in your loved ones. Ivan

What kinds of accessibility features do you have that help you edit and upload videos

[@jamesrath]

I edit with Final Cut Pro (13 years of experience). On macOS I use Zoom, Enlarge Text (Hover Text), Speak screen (Text to speech), and high contrast display options.
