Criticism? Brother, I can't even imagine the effort that must go into making this. Those winter/summer transitions made without special effects? Unbelievable. My favorite part was the drone video of you swimming in that beautiful blue lake. I really like seeing the mountain people too. I hope you know how much we appreciate you taking us to places most of us will never see.

Je videos zijn geweldig. Met de mooiste een fijnste muziek. Naar het kijken van jou filmpjes ( wat ik meestal savonds doe met mijn man) komen wij helemaal tot rust en zien we de grootheid van onze Hemelse Vader🥰. Ben jij ook een christen? Mij viel steeds de Bijbeltekst op😊 aan het einde van je videos👌. Ga zo door met je prachtige werk!!

Out of all the hiking/trekking videos that document long trails, this is the kind that really reaches/touches you. Silence, no annoying music, no constant talking about the route, no trying to make it into a drama/telenovela by showing difficulties, no self-centered "me, me me! look at me! Ooooh look how cool it is here, woooohooooo", no "oh, this is so dangerous and hard! Look how tough we are! Look how much we are suffering!!" But instead... a peaceful video documentation of splendid landscapes. One almost feels like he's there. No words can make it justice. We really need more of this. Peace, silence, connection with nature. And less show-offs and attention seekers. From all the hiking channels, yours is by far the best I've seen so far. I just subscribed and hope you keep making videos in the future.

Hope you liked this one as much as I did! Editing-wise this was the toughest project so far, also trying to tell a secondary story of winter. But a great learning process. Love to hear what you thought about it. Criticism is more than welcome, I want to keep improving! All the summer-winter transitions: 0:08, 1:07, 9:00, 10:16, 19:20, 21:15, 28:23, 31:28, 43:58, 44:46 Some random facts you might like: 6:36 I never fall on trail, but when it did happen it was kinda bad. I cut myself (probably on the rock I sled on) on my shin so deep I could see the muscle inside (hope I am not making anyone nauseous). I cleaned the wound with water al alcohol and glued it together. I always bring superglue for this multipurpose use. What I didn't show is that at guesthouse I stayed at that night there were some people with medical background that helped me disinfect the wound once more. All the days after I kept cleaned the wound with boiled water daily, kept it free of any dirt and used to antibiotic cream to prevent it from disinfecting, and all went well. Special thanks to Mirthe, Charlotte, Hester and the others from the guesthouse for helping me out there! 16:32 I don't think I've ever been this lucky with the weather. All nights outside dry, inside rain and thunder. What are the odds? (3/5 nights outdoors, 2/5 nights rain. (3/5)*(2/5) = 24% chance.) 27:43 This descent was steep! Average slope of 53%, with a 300m section of 72%. I probably should have checked the slope before I headed down that way. But a fun adventure. 31:42 The valley from winter camping last winter. Although I knew the route, I still had to convince myself I'd been there before. It was so different! Which season I liked most? Winter. With the snow it was so much more peaceful, everything was untouched and perfectly smooth, plus there were no mosquitos or ants crawling over you. In winter I could easily maneuver through the same forest that was now full of branches, loose rocks and blackberry bushes. Plus, the slopes were so steep that by no means I could pitch my tent here now. 35:46 This was my favorite camp spot of this trip. The remoteness, those tall peaks all around and the alpine lake of course. Loved it. 39:25 The highlight of this trip. That lighting in the morning, the beautiful and technical ascent and the 360 degree views up there. From there I could basically see the whole loop. And it was so windy up here! I took some effort to get the drone in the air and get these shots. My hands started getting cold and I if I lost that drone there, I would have lost all the drone footage of this trip.

A true masterpiece once again. I can't believe all the troubles you went to just to get those perfect shots of, for example, you brewing and drinking coffee filmed from four angles. This level of dedication is insane. I cannot comprehend how you find the time to hike 21km and 1500m of elevation inbetween filming all of this. Maybe you're just screwing with us and in reality you've got two hired cameramen, one in front of you and one behind :D However, the endresult is nothing short of cinematic. I have just returned from hiking two weeks on the HRP and am actually very content to be back home again. Yet, after watching your film, I'm itching again to get back on the trail again. Watching your work really feels like being out there. EDIT: Oh, and the summer/winter transitions were just amazing. I had to look two or three times to convince myself that this was not CGI. They look so smooth and the angle of each corresponding shot is so similiar that at first I thought "this looks way too smooth to not be rendered/not real". Stunning, really.

Besides, it would be pretty dangerous in remote places if no one could call for help in the event of an accident - and the cell phone has no connection.

I live in the Accursed Mountains, and you have recorded the beauty of our mountains masterfully; I haven't seen any other footage which can compare. When I am out there in the mountains, I am often overwhelmed by how stunning the scenery around me is, and I kind of feel overwhelmed by the fact that I do not have the technology to do it justice. I feel sad that I cannot accurately capture and share with others the scale of the rocks, the quality of the light, the clarity of the water, and the variation in the flora and fauna. But I feel truly relieved and excited to see that you have put in so much effort and have thoroughly managed to do so. For all of us; both those of us who know this landscape intimately, and who wish that others did so too, and those who have not been lucky enough to be immersed in such a wild and wonderful landscape. Thank you sincerely for sharing the beauty of these natural wonders. Furthermore, as illegal, exploitative activities encroach further and further in to these vulnerable areas, it is only works of public information sharing like yours that might make the wider international community aware of how important it is to protect and preserve these bio-diverse, sensitive and extremely valuable areas. The Accursed Mountains have people like you to thank for highlighting their beauty and for thus fighting their cause.

The mere thought of the amount of behind the camera work to produce this excellent film makes me shudder. You are very brave, not only for walking alone in the wilderness, but even more for all the trips between the camera and the scene of action. It takes true dedication and a ton of patience to do that hundreds of times. The result, however, is worth the effort. Well done!

Random facts in the comments section is still my favourite!!! When I see this great work on the big screen of my TV, i could almost feel every moment: the pain when you hurt your leg, the annoying bugs, the cool lake dip, the tiredness under the heat, the relaxation putting on the flip flop.......and the tasty blueberry yogurt breakfast! Can´t wait to see your next adventure!!!

These songs are real stories and they can be very difficult to "decipher" without knowing the context. The storytelling (real historical events) in songs is (at least was) a tradition in the Balkans among Albanians, Montenegrins and Bosnians. And you choose the best place of them to visit! These mountains were always a a cradle of Albanians. You saw it yourself how isolated they are and not a single enemy was able to conquer them because of the harshness and the best place to ambush the enemies 😆

My opinions are: 1- Editing is so impressing. 2- The nature is amazing, maybe you can use slow motion techniques especially streaming water. 3- Maybe you can take footage under water. 4- You are so brave, being alone at the mountains is scary. 5- Drone footages are also amazing. My questions are: 1- Are you alone or one of your friend help you as a camareman? 2- Are you afraid of wild animals? 3- Have you ever met any wild animal that scare you? And thanks for sharing these kinds of videos with us, you made me admired.

I'd like to thank you, Harmen. I've been watching your vidoes since Russia invaded Ukraine, which both are my neighbors. I was anxious and depressed, and "walking" with you among the beauty of the mountains helps to find an equilibrium inside me, it's some kind of meditation. Thank you ❤

Among all the suffering and destruction that comes our way it's you Harmen who can draw us into a world of infinite peace and beauty. To me this is more than a film about a man going on a hike, it is a healing vision of the overwhelming beauty of our planet. This is the stuff we would only expect from BBC with an open budget. I smiled through the whole film but really laughed when the donkey was helping the other get up the hill. On the final frames it says Isaiah but I could not read the numbers. Best wishes

I want to comment on all your videos, but I'm always speechless and can't find the right words to explain the feelings, anxiety and sense of adventure that goes through me when I'm watching it. Your hikes are so rugged but the video's so flawless with beyond national geographic cinematic value. I'm so glad you're making these and continue to make it without deviating from your style. Infact, each film just tops the other. But each film is so unique. I usually have your channel playing on repeat. It's beautiful.
