My Solo Iceland Roadtrip - Summer in the Highlands

[@allisonwanderland9917]

Drew is the most talented videographer I’ve ever seen! It’s hard to find the words to express how good this is.

[@TheLukaszpg]

No he isn't He posts one vid every 3 months and still has 400k subs

[@allisonwanderland9917]

@@TheLukaszpg Ahaha! Quality over quantity, man. No one was mentioning the frequency. Besides, this isn’t his full time job like some other KZbinrs, so he can do whatever he wants. Don’t like it? Then don’t watch. Simple, right?

We need to protect this man at all cost. One of the most talented videographers on youtube and seems like a really good and chill dude. Love watchin your videos bro all the way from Colorado thanks for the inspiration🤝

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Kyle! Really appreciate hearing that man

[@DivyangM]

He says "Welcome" after 3 minutes into the video and I have no complaints. That says how good the intro is.

[@LukeJukeDuke]

FINALLY! After a while of no Drew Simms videos for months on end!

[@nursetamee]

It's beautiful to see that a young person is actually LIVING their life...so few of us do. You are blessed.

[@chetrocket]

I’m living my life!!

[@drewsimms]

Feeling very grateful to be able to travel and share it on here! Thanks for the support

[@timotheelrx4944]

16:43 waterfalls make you feel good because its generated a lot of negative ion !! love it so much

[@drewsimms]

Thanks for watching part 1 guys! Make sure to also check out my cinematic short film from Iceland - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGqYkneefrtnl9E&lc=UgypDyXhEb346xZbYmB4AaABAg Will be coming out with a part 2 and 3 over the next few weeks!

[@michaelfrymus]

Would love to see a video of your BTS - Your camera setups inside the car, how you fly your drone while driving, and how you go about getting those long shots

[@icelandig]

As an Icelander I am just stunned how amazing this landscape shots are 😮. I started following you because of your amazing videos and even have a us Canada trip in the works and most of the places are from your videos. And now you came to Iceland so cool.

[@drewsimms]

Love to hear that you've got your own trip in the works! Thanks for all the continued support

[@himalayanecstasy3471]

Drew knows how to create magic with camera......mesmerizing content.....great work

[@northwestitude]

Your videos are so relaxing and full of information without even talking much. I get so inspired by your outdoor cooking!!!

[@iadubber]

Absolutely incredible Drew!

[@Kimillions]

Hey Drew! Those waterfall shots, just wow. I tried to imagine what that sounded like, felt like, even smelled like. And the final clips, like paint brush strokes. Thanks for bringing us along. Safe travels!

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Kim! That waterfall was probably one of my favorite evenings of the trip. Glad you enjoyed!

[@markusp6151]

You are just crazy 😮… no words needed for this unbelievable cinema stuff 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@AshTreigh]

I mean Drew... Are you kidding me? This is the most beautiful video you have made to date. Your level of talent is comparable to nobody. Keep up the immaculate work.

[@drewsimms]

Thanks man! Really appreciate hearing that man

[@gallolocoparisien]

Iceland is so photogenic

[@sulaimanA]

Masterpiece. I’ve never seen a channel able to show the beauty and detail you are able to .. Felt a sense of peace and calmness watching your footage . video for the soul & meditation, words can’t describe this great work done by Drew , good luck 😍

[@drewsimms]

Thanks you! Iceland definitely has a way of making you feel calm!

[@digambarwarke9796]

Just beautiful, true art!

[@MrWinger1951]

One aspect that may be lost on the casual viewer is the amount of time and effort in capturing and editing such a spectacular video. Very impressive.

[@drewsimms]

Glad you can appreciate it! Thanks for the support!

[@ADPvisuals]

One thing I noticed that I really appreciate is the hiking shots where it looks like a static frame but it's not, there's like a tiny bit of zoom in. It's like the eye unconsciously notices it but you don't notice it immediately

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Aaron! A bit of a tedious process at the end of editing but worth it haha

[@lopes.altamiro]

I feel so grateful right now. For all the things that made possible this video to exist and for me to have watched it. That was the most beautiful video I've ever seen in my life. I didnt wanted it to end.

[@drewsimms]

Really love to hear that Altamiro!

[@agent-xx]

Now thats some talent which deserves more subscribers. Good Work.

[@shigrblizm]

How can a solo traveler document this, I mean look at the freaking video. Uff amazing and freaking fantastic. I also want to travel the world on my car and document it. Videos like these are surely a motivation and role model for me. Drew is by far the best travel vlogger in the world period.

[@daveloriw]

sub·lime: adjective of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe.

[@elib7311]

Though I haven’t finished watching, thank you for including footage of your vehicle. Too many times, there are gorgeous landscapes, but no perspective regarding just how vast some of these mountains really are. When I see the tiny bit that’s your truck against the backdrop, it just makes it all the more jaw dropping how massive, amazing, raw our planet really is. So, thank you for thinking of this-and thank you for taking us where I know *I’ll* never have an opportunity to see in person. In the coming days, I’m gonna need to re-watch this on the mega t.v and share with the family. It’s just too stunning NOT to! UPDATE: as a mom, those waterfall shots of you…I think I may have held my breath. You’re grounded. For a year!

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Eli! Really love to hear you enjoyed this one. Haha and the waterfall was one of my favorite evenings of the trip!

[@normarodriguez-cotto423]

Your pictures are the most beautiful ones.... They are breathtaking...wow!

[@TheMuseOnline]

Your footage brought tears to my eyes! What a beautiful planet we call home! Thank you for showing its beauty to us, I have no words to express the joy I feel when I watch your videos! It's such a crime you still have only less than 400k subscriptions, I will do my part to change that. The world needs to see these videos more! Much love to you, take care and keep living the life you love!

[@ethics.s]

breathtaking landscape 💕💗

[@fototripper]

That frame at 1:20 is totally amazing. I've resisted visiting Iceland because it's so overshot but this frame now means I simply must visit Iceland and explore those trails.

[@drewsimms]

Feels overshot for sure but for a reason! So much to explore

[@sheersha]

This is Just🥺No Words to Describe

[@jeffgerardot7958]

Nothing short of breathtaking. We would expect nothing less from Drew though. Great eye with loads of talent. Thanks Drew!

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Jeff! Really appreciate it man

[@KimLe985]

Wow, just wow!! Your talent and videos always leave me speechless 🤯😍

[@l.martin9282]

Unbelievably beautiful, Drew. Views and patterns that continue to put me in awe of this planet and strengthen my desire to preserve it. Thank you. Wisconsin, USA

[@drewsimms]

Thanks man! Iceland definitely has a way of doing that

[@ElectricFuture]

Stunning imagery, planning a trip to Iceland soon to check out the geothermal activity there.

[@scottchen4098]

[@drewsimms]

Love to hear that! Thanks Harry!

[@dudwnsrh7332]

so excited about this video

[@gripitoffroad]

Your color grading is the best! Love the drone shots! inspiration for me to get better at color grading! Awesome video brother!

[@stevereilly]

This is by far the most spectacular off road Jeep adventure cinematography I have ever seen. I watched this on 8k on a 60" screen yesterday. Wow. From a professional media persons perspective, you've nailed it. Amazing.

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Stev! Love to hear you're watching on the big screen!

[@sherrylewis6932]

Fabulously done!

[@francisngo]

Thanks for taking us along on this beautiful journey to Iceland. Incredible shots as per usual!

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Francis!

[@nextstop_adventures]

These shots are simply stunning. What an adventure

[@luiselortondo]

Drew, thank you so much for such a beautiful video. As many guys commented, no adjective is enough to describe what you do. If working as a videographer doing documentaries is what you want, I hope National Geographic or any of the big guys notices how good you are. You deserve to do whatever you want in this industry!

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Lius! Really does mean alot man

[@BoostFutbol]

Stumbled across your channel for the very first time and watched this from beginning to the end, Absolutely stunning stuff.

Drew Simms is a living legend. I've seen many videographers but he is operating on a whole different level. My only wish that i get to meet him in person some day. What an incredible human being he is

[@AnishPandey12]

Everytime I watch your work, it inspires me to shoot and create. Thank you so much for the hard work, prestine cinematography and keeping the love and passion for videography alive. Beautiful... Beautiful... beautiful!

[@drewsimms]

Love to hear that man. Thanks for your continued support!

[@WALTERZOLNA]

If there is a better nature filmmaker on youtube let me know who they are because this is the best that I have ever seen.

[@pamelamercado107]

I just want to +1 to all the comments about how incredible of a videographer he is. I get the goosebumps watching all the ariel footage. Just incredible. Jeep needs to give you a FREE Rubicon at this point. Take care and keep showing all of us the world that most of us will never be able to get to. So, thank you!

[@souparnaroy5283]

The amount of work that's gone into this video, the different camera angles, drone shots and to do it alone... unbelievable!

[@drewsimms]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one!

[@theflow497]

It‘s so stunning what you create. I just sit here with the eyes wide open and enjoy your video. Thanks for sharing and these moments of calmness. Drew, you are my favorite videographer.

[@drewsimms]

Thanks for watching! Really love hearing that!

[@RyanMetcalfePGA]

This really is something truly special. Nothing comes close to Drew's ability to capture the landscape in such an invigorating and artistic way

[@Alastair_]

I live in the highlands of Scotland, I have spent so much of my life in the mountains here and in Europe and yet oddly enough, I still can't believe places as beautiful as this exist, thank you for sharing with us.

[@snowflake_angie]

Iceland looks like other planet!!there are no words to describe this beauty,just wow...

[@drewsimms]

Felt like another planet for sure!

[@gabizzer]

You are my favorite content creator by a thousand miles, your videos like this genuinely makes me happy

[@chetrocket]

I agree Gabriel! I hope my channel can someday make content like his!!

[@drewsimms]

[@fnee4809]

[@Oldschoolny62]

Awesome vid, your pics/vids/drone shots are the best!! At 18:13, freakin epic stuff, an amazing shot of how big the falls are!! Thanks for sharing Drew!!! Start cranking these vids out more often, lol….worth the wait!!

[@ivanvall3076]

My mind can't process how beautiful your images are. You are a legend Drew.

[@allye5949]

Love how you use the change in bass chords in the music to emphasise the change in the landscape. Dramatic landscape artfully blended with music. Thanks for this unique look at Iceland.

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Ally! Glad you enjoyed the music!

[@gloryfarm]

so beautiful... Your white car shines exceptionally!

[@rahuldevsharma5005]

The way you use your talent in your video it's amazing it's feel me like i am watching a combination of = scifi +qaulity +Nature + Futuristic amazing man

[@regenosis]

The effort this all must have taken I can't even comprehend. You have to know what the landscape looks like at each leg of the trip well enough to know if it's worth stopping and doing drone shots for, and what direction, angle, altitude, while your vehicle moves at which segment or while you're hiking which trail. Imaging driving and stopping constantly to fly a drone up to check out the landscape to see if it's worth filming, rinse and repeat while trying to do that in favorable daylight conditions. Too many incredibly low-effort youtubers around. Glad something like this still exists!

[@muhammadmehmood2084]

This stuff is too good to be on KZbin. I don't have words to express the brilliance

[@avtr17]

The time I spend watching your videos is a nice diversion from my normal routine.

[@playsb.3x3]

I'm watching this video while being sick and it's like from another world. Can't really say how good this video is - just one thing, You are one of the most talented videographer I've ever seen.
