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.

[@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

[@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

[@timotheelrx4944]

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

[@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

[@LukeJukeDuke]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@northwestitude]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@himalayanecstasy3471]

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

[@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!

[@harryjamesblyth]

It's been a while since I've seen something this good on youtube. WOW! That drone intro blew my MIND!

[@drewsimms]

Love to hear that! Thanks Harry!

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@ElectricFuture]

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

[@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!

[@Nopparat1996]

I am a Thai person who admires your journey very much. Thank you for making the video quality for viewing It is my inspiration every day. I want you to keep doing it. Wait for follow-up from Thailand.Every journey of yours is so beautiful.

[@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

[@daveloriw]

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

[@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

[@BoostFutbol]

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

[@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!

[@markusp6151]

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

[@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.

[@LUVNYLA]

Wow!! That is a gigantic waterfall that you were next to...about 18:20 ish !! That must have felt amazing ! Nature's Beauty at it's finest and you are an incredible talent to capture this for us to witness. Thank you very much !!

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@mattmeadows9672]

That right there was an absolute cinematic masterpiece. I’m blown away

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Matt! Appreciate it man

[@coachable4680]

I just can’t believe how much effort goes into preparing the tripods, setting up the camera, then driving through the shot hoping it captured the shot well enough to use, then going back to the same spot to grab the equipment only to have to do it all over again for the next shots. On top of that, the drone shots are either on “Follow Mode” or he’s handling it on his lap while he’s driving. Then on top of all of that, the patience to edit (that’s if’s not outsourcing the edits) and doing it all while sitting amongst the weather conditions or slouched over in the jeep tent or crunched in the passenger seat. Please share your secrets! 😂❤. Love your work buddy. Thank you for inspiring so many of us.

[@FrancisSiuChock]

Drew..mind blown! You have again outdone yourself with your opening montage! The rugged beauty and the incredible contrast with layers of mountains gives it this painterly effect (looks surreal). I guess Land Rover will be calling for some assistance with video footage (at least if they know what was good from them they would). Stay safe and healthy on your trip!

[@iadubber]

Absolutely incredible Drew!

[@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!
