Silent Hiking GR54 In The French Alps

[@toddgrant7190]

Kraig Adams was a wonderful breath of fresh air from the usual “talking face in the camera” jerky backpacking videos. I have followed Kraig Adams since his Iceland video catapulted him to popularity. And Harmen Hoek, who also uploads amazing backpacking videos, acknowledged his debt to Kraig Adams. I now I have added you to the You Tube chanels I follow. Nice video. Thank you for sharing.

[@YensBastiaens]

Thank you, glad to belong in the same category as them for you :)

[@manfrednt]

Kraig is no longer number one for me :-(

[@heketong622]

@@manfredntthen who replaced him😂

[@EdCook-f4q]

Kraig Adams used to be among my three favorite but over time I realized he is arrogant and unless you can trek 20 plus miles a day, he talks down to you. Clearly, he doesn't realize many of us watch these presentations because they are an escape for us and something we couldn't do for any number of reasons. I still watch him on occasion but mostly to view the country, not to listen to his remarks at the end, which I don't. I discovered Yens recently and love his work. I especially like when he hikes with his dog. I am sappy about dogs and I tear up a little when he shows his companion love. Yes, I have a dog and love him much. We do hikes but more like five or six miles. I am 81 and don't get along as well as I used to. You have a new follower, Yens.

Danke, dass du die Umständlichkeit des Filmens auf dich nimmst, um uns diese wundervollen Videos zu zeigen ! 🙏🏻👍👏👏👏

[@seabrin]

Thank you for not filling up this video with words. Sometimes, it's enough to feel the breeze, hear the rushing water, and admire nature's beauty. Well done!

[@YensBastiaens]

You are welcome

[@markrmonteith]

Thank you very much for another wonderful hiking film Yens! Écrins National Park really looks like a gem, never heard of it before, so I am grateful that you introduced it to me through your lens ;) Fantastic adventure! I hope your dog is doing fine as he wasn't part of your journey this time.

[@alexandregelin]

Dogs are not allowed in national parks to preserve the tranquility of wild animals.

[@YensBastiaens]

Jack was definitely fine back then, but national parks in France don't allow dogs

[@regdetouraine9571]

Bravo encore une fois pour la qualité des images. A chaque fois, ça donne envie de faire son sac et de partir😊 Dis voir, à 16:56, c'était quand même pas pour une personne???

[@casalmundoafora]

Hij Yens! Always a delight to watch your work! Peaceful and inspiring! Can you tell me if is it 'allowed' to wild camping in this place? I have lots of wishes to do something like you, but afraid of being caught doing something that is not allowed. Can you tell a bit about it? Maybe a dedicated episode with questions and answers? Dankjewel!

[@YensBastiaens]

Uhm my memory is kind of vague, but as far as I remember u are allowed to set up camp near the refuges and at lac Noir like I did.

[@japoc]

That girl at 12:38 probably wanted to come say hi :)

[@YensBastiaens]

Great video! I like silent hiking videos. You can fill everything for real. And a question: What about rules to put tent? Is it allowed everywhere, or in specific places?

Able to camp near the refuges and near lac noir where I camped at

Dankje! Yes, dat klopt.

[@KTblue]

Amazing video. But what happened to your dog? All of a sudden he was gone.

[@YensBastiaens]

Some destinations don't allow dogs

[@jiraiparlessentiers]

Toujours aussi superbe... même sans Jack ! Quel talent !

[@YensBastiaens]

Merci beaucoup! :)

[@georgivanev7466]

I've just found your channel, the scenery is amazing, +1 sub! I was wondering do you manage to get any sleep when you're in the tent in the mountains? I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep knowing that I'm outside with wild animals roaming around 😁

[@YensBastiaens]

Thank you so much! I usually sleep about 6-7 hours

Thank you, the trail is called gr54. You can find the gpx that way since I don't have the file.

[@oriente2b602]

Bjr Yens, Et le confort dans la Z'packs ? Condensation ? Température en montagne ?

[@Herz.Seele.Verstand]

Die Videos von Yens sind schon gut, aber wenn ich das mit den Videos von Harmen Hoek vergleiche, dann merke ich große Unterschiede. Harmen Hoeks Bildkomposition, Länge der Aufnahmen, Abmischung des Tons sowie Musikauswahl ist erste Klasse. Trotzdem bin ich froh, dass es dieses Video gibt.

[@YensBastiaens]

We literally use the same music in our videos

[@Herz.Seele.Verstand]

Really? But it sounds much better. Perhaps it is the arrangement.

[@EdCook-f4q]

At one point in this video, you were having sausage and said Jack would have loved it. Who is Jack? Is that your dog and if so, why was he not with you on this one? From what I could see, the Terraine looks like he could have done it.

[@YensBastiaens]

No dogs allowed on this hike :)

[@jordiblanch8341]

Where is your dog? We love It!

[@misterjones30044]

We really appreciate you do this for us & not to make a living. Have you considered allowing us to give you a Super Thanks?🏳️‍🌈

Doubt about recording the videos, how does he record him walking from afar, when he is alone?

Setting up my tripod and walking back
