Out of all the trips I've taken, there's one style of travel that stands out. This week I rush out to chase some snow in the Blue Ridge Mountains and share 3 lessons from winter travel.

Your words "the weather calls the shots, you only get to decide whether or not to participate" will be etched in my brain forever. Great video, Aidin. Thanks so much for making this 👋

[@hamzakentaros]

Aidin this video is unbelievable, if this was a tv show on NETFLIX I would watch it every single day.

[@speliotis]

Aidan Robbins - I was just reading the comments on this video & about you as the creator / the inspiration to so many others.. You have the gift.. and I personally thank you for sharing your videos with us....

[@justyou_official]

I seldom leave a message, but every time I see your video, I feel very inspired and like your video very much, thank you!

[@nath_media]

Totally agree! You learn to actually be present. I spent 4 days in a remote cottage in the snowy swiss alps last winter. At that time you can only go there by hiking. The drone shots I got are incredible and the video I made turned out amazing!

[@NickandRachel]

It's crazy I recognize most of the locations you film at in North Carolina. Put a blanket of snow on top of everything and it's almost unrecognizable. So beautiful ❄️

[@OlivertheJoyboy]

The amazing thing is that this was a literal movie and for you it was just another youtube video. You're built different man, in the wilderness and with the camera. Miss you dude.

[@DharmendraKuntal]

Your voice in these videos is like a lovely Good Morning message❤ and of-course the drone shots❤‍🔥

[@andrewjmes]

these shots are unreal

[@PoojaShravan]

Hey Aidin!!. Thank you so much for making this video. We are a couple of travel creators from India who have constantly struggled when it comes to keeping the balance between making/shooting videos and actually enjoying a place without the stress of getting that PERFECT SHOT. We could relate to this video so much and it felt great to know that the problems we face are actually very common and even pros have to deal and accept it. Hugs from India. Would love to host you here some day. ❤❤❤

[@kaptagn]

"you only get to decide whether or not to participate" truer words have never been spoken. Chasing the snow means that in most cases you have to toss the shotlist.

[@EarthUncutTV]

Lovely video Aidin and very wise words I live my life by. A foot of snow forecast this Friday, I'll be in a cabin in the woods waiting for it with my camera gear ;) (and congrats on the sponsorship)

[@Deepak_nadar59]

THE AMOUNT OF EFFORTS YOU PUT INTO THIS IS SO INSPIRING

[@reubendaniel5691]

It’s absolutely insane that I’m watching this for free. And that this is by a person living my ideal adulthood; hope I make it to your point man, keep it up

[@Roatanlova68fmp71lliiiak]

Breathtaking. A real escape from reality, in the real world! Thank you

[@KantSleep]

Aiden, You are one of my 4 favorite youtubers. I have learned so much from your videos. You inspire me more and more to learn to create, and to put quality over quantity. it is very hard as a new creator not to fall into creating content geared towards trends. Every time I start thinking like that, I just think about you and your channel. I will actually be changing my channel soon so that I can concentrate on making content that I enjoy creating. It will be slow progress but in the end it will be worth it. Another amazing video. Thank you.

[@official.sohanphotography]

Simply Breathtaking.Outstanding. Whenever I see your video, i can see pure beauty. Outstanding shots, Beautiful Narration & So deeply inspiring. Your subscriber should be in millions, such a gem you are. Love every sec of it. Hope we can keep in touch in anyway emails or anything.

[@ShotbyGhoulkid]

your words are like a poem.

[@bartekmalinowy]

The funny thing? The moment you released this video it started snowing for the first time here where I live in Poland this year. I miss the snow soo much. And it will all melt tomorrow morning...

[@michalvrbata]

It has been over two years i did recognize you, and i have to say that you’re such an inspiration to me!! Keep it going.

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

Epic as always

[@MattyDCCollins]

You’re a legend

[@shoto42]

I recently went on my first snow hike here in Oregon on Mt. Hood, the hike was to Lake Trillium. Of course, it was gonna be frozen and snowed over so we weren’t gonna see the Lake itself; we were actually hoping that the clouds wouldn’t be too bad so we could see Mt. Hood. No avail sadly, but still a beautiful hike nonetheless, even though I was only two miles from the road the only noise was the sound of snow falling and the crunch under my boots. I was also with my mom for this hike, and with her I got to take some photos that are arguably the best photos I’ve taken recently I feel like.

[@kaspergaram]

God damn that opening shot is beautiful!

[@gatewaychan]

Watching your video is always very relaxing and healing

[@Kevnslife]

You are one, if not my favorite content creator, filmmaker and human on this platform. I feel so blessed having to once stumbled across your channel, now I am here, sitting and enjoying your films. I feel so inspired, by your music choice, the grading, the compositions, the voiceovers and by you. Keep up the work, much love from Germany!

[@niklaswalg1366]

These videos lately have been so so good man, keep it up!

[@AidinRobbins]

Glad you're enjoying them!

[@williamalexanderr]

So simple yet so powerful ! Killing it one again

[@tacrewgirl]

I enjoy your videography skills. It gives me a lot of inspiration, especially as a fellow North Carolinian.

[@tilludhal4142]

Thanx brother ❤️ from India 🔥🔥

[@mubamunshi5454]

Mesmerizing 💗

[@IAmDavidWhipple]

I just cancelled my Epidemic Sound subscription and used your link to sign up for an annual subscription with Artlist. I like it and appreciate the nudge. Also, excellent aerial shots here in this video.

[@AHMEDHAMINE]

the intro is mind blown

[@Dock777]

Hey Aiden i love going hiking thro the Appalachian mountains during snow fall. on the Ga, Tn, Nc tri state area. It's real beautiful if its a ice storm an the sunrise hits it. Peace out bro be safe God bless.

[@AdityaaChouksey]

Thank you for this video aidin, i legit took some notes and your storytelling is just exceptional. I'm grateful

[@bardomeister]

We literally just got snow last night... Coincidende?! I think not!!! *puts on hinking boots* Time to participate...! Thanks for this wonderful film Aidin! 🙏

[@AidinRobbins]

Glad I could send some snow your way!

[@Barlyk]

Every shots is awesome 🔥🇰🇿

[@animals30s73]

Recently I've come across your channel and It has blown me away. I feel like I'm being hypnotised and your storytelling is driving me Into unconsiousness🙌

[@J.K.productionsDE]

Man, I just absolutely love your videos. I just found you yesterday somehow. But this is the excact thing that I feel: The winter snow storm roadtrip, the best experience of the experiences. Your talking, the music, the beauty of nature, thats just... IT.

[@PDKSHADES]

Thanks for calming down my mood

[@helencogan2187]

Aidin, This is AMAZING!! You keep pushing the bar to not just challenge yourself but to challenge ALL. THANK YOU for that… The drone work was EPIC.. THANK YOU again.

[@AmericanWanderlust500]

Beautiful! I was at Carver’s Gap the last time it snowed except I went up the side of the balds. I’ve been a photographer for years but I’ve just started getting into videography thanks to your inspiration!

[@Drewdoode]

Winter travel is amazing! Great vid bro.

[@BrianSellers]

Love it, man - my family and I are traveling through Ecuador right now, and then many spots around the world over the next 5 months. And while most of what I've been shooting has been more vlog-ish, this is inspiring me to try a video that posits a simple idea and backs it up with awesome b-roll. 🤔 Thanks, and keep creating these awesome videos!

[@AidinRobbins]

Glad you enjoyed! Wanted to keep it quiet and simple with this one. Enjoy your trip!

[@sparkinteractive294]

Hey Aidin.. a pleasure to watch this one.. I actually loved the parts where you kept the music and words off of the scenes to let us absorb the real thing.. thanks for sharing this with all of us.. All the best !

[@TwinzEdiTz]

Consistently love the content you produce, so inspiring and insightful. Thank you so much for your gift in telling a story Aidin!!

[@AidinRobbins]

Really appreciate the kind words my friend!

[@chikoycordova]

You're so brave bro

[@eyvaldoystenson]

Beautiful Aidin, you really give me so much inspiration to go out and make the content I want to see!

[@johnbroman7134]

I really enjoyed that! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Those opening drone shots were crazy moody. Loved em. If you want to chase more snow just come up my way :-)

[@janstr]

The intro 🔥❄

[@RoccoGermani]

Awesome video Aidin! I literally just got back home from a spontaneous trip out to West Virginia, chasing a snow storm. You're absolutely right when you say going with the flow is the best way to navigate these sort of circumstances. As always, beautifully captured!

[@AidinRobbins]

Hope you got some good footage homie!

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing it.✌️

[@REIDiculous64]

Living in Canada and in snow for the majority of the year, this hits a bit different. Yes there are still lots who never go outside in the winter but for most we just expect the changes and deal with it, not as “exciting” for us so to speak just different. Definitely worth visiting places 2 times once with and once without snow.

[@davidburchettephotography6513]

Another beautiful vid. Well done!

[@TheHero210]

Time flies watching it ❤😍 ...amazing as usual and that third lesson is gold Thank you Aidin

[@AidinRobbins]

Glad you enjoyed this one :)

[@Boaartun]

love watching your videos! Your storytelling skills 🔥

[@tahata7436]

Really was fun to watch.

[@jaspermatthe5367]

I just love all your content. So raw and down to earth. I’m planning to shoot my very first travel video following your principles soon - going to have to binge watch your whole channel and take some notes!

[@mariofernandezgomez7857]

Always creating soft and beautifuls films, Aidin! A hug from Spain, man! Keep on vanguard! 💪🏽

[@DjSoulsaver]

The intro shot is stunning, I always know I'm in for a visual and sound design treat coming in, regardless of the actual topic. It gives me ideas and inspiration especially that you shoot a lot of content alone, which is awesome in its own right when there isn't anyone to help. I've not seen the video yet but I'm sure the story telling will be good too. Keep up inspiring bro.

[@SpaceAll]

Love you brother ❤

[@thelostsketchbook1521]

So good!!

[@maciejsordyl7125]

I love It!

[@rishinnutshell]

Great work ❤️

[@Stedmen]

Amazing!

[@psynuxx]

I've always loved your cinematic style Aidin. This winter video is probably the most inspiring for me yet. I don't get the time to travel with my gear that much, especially at the drop of a hat, as I'm an old dude with kids, but nevertheless your footage and sound design (love the sound of the truck below) always inspire. Keep going, and I'll try and follow.

[@NathanBerisson]

So so great 😌

[@KarimAmerStudio]

Loved the efforts brother, and the storytelling is absolutely amazing ! keep doing the awesome work !

[@AidinRobbins]

Appreciate the kind words homie!

Love your content bro keep going Allah bless you ❤️

[@knowyourmo]

Aidin, nice job! Another great edit with lots of helpful information. Any advice for flying your drone while it's snowing? Looks like it handled it well and the resulting shots looked great!

[@AidinRobbins]

I didn't have any issues from the snow while filming this one, but all of the snow was fluffy powder- slushier snow could cause some problems :)

[@trapptrapp9387]

[@ByRaph]

Hi Aidin, love your video's! I was wondering about how you find these "old documentary / radio voices" like you used in your video about Mount St Helens for example. Do you have any tips about finding these? Thanks for your help!:)

[@Circharles]

Love your videos. Is this the Lumix s5 mkII you are using?

[@AidinRobbins]

Still the original S5 for now- probably switching to the mkII before too long though :)
