[@ProjectFreewheel]

Hey Levi, I would love to take this course. I wanted to know about the live sessions. I'm in Australia and not sure I'll be able to make these with the time difference...I see you have a couple of times listed for some sessions. Are they available after they go live? Sorry if I missed this info online. Cheers 😊

[@FlightPaths]

Your channel doesn’t get nearly enough love, my dude. You’ve been grinding it out for a long time, and your videos keep getting better.

[@JeremyTGrant]

Agreed!

[@Levi_Allen]

I appreciate that!

[@pudsboi5203]

Yep, one of my favourite channels. But I’m kinda glad he hasn’t millions of subs because it feels more personal.

[@Zackbrooks737]

Yeah I don't get it. I make videos too. Mine aren't that good so I understand why I don't get huge views. I just do it because I really enjoy making them. Levi is a great film maker and story teller. This should be a 100k+ video.

[@JakeDaly]

Epic Levi! The cinematography, the storytelling, the edit... blown away by how you've captured your experience in Spatsizi. Grateful the stars aligned for this to happen. Already looking forward to the next adventure!

[@Levi_Allen]

You're the best!

[@JesseDriftwood]

Incredible dude.

[@TrentonPalmer]

Well worth the wait! Great job man, glad you didn’t get eaten by bears

[@BeckiandChris]

This was such a beautifully shot film, Levi! Loved the story!

[@Zeek.Lundbohm]

Man Levi, what a video! You keep adding to the incredible amount of “dad lore” you’ve got! I love watching these videos because I feel like I can live vicariously through you. Much love from the east coast!

[@snippetsoflife4616]

What a beautiful video and message. I have been suffering from severe anxiety my whole life, and accepting to live with fear is the only way to move forward. Just know that with this video you are contributing to conservation efforts: documenting and capturing the beauty of nature is a key way to make people want to protect it. You gained a new subscriber!

[@driftstone]

This was awesome Levi, proud of you! That moment when you land the fish and unhook it before you dispatch it was heartbreaking and I was screaming at the screen! I'm glad you got it done and finished the journey!

[@VanlilfewithDaleandBailey]

I was so hooked. I was right there when you caught those fish. I felt the frustration and the glory when you finally caught some fish. Good job.

[@maryb1686]

I found myself screaming out loud "WHY AREN'T YOU USING YOUR NET????". very entertaining. as a seasoned outdoorswoman, I can say it-foolish to go with no food, but adventurous and entertaining nonetheless.

[@ElevenFilms]

This is absolutely beautiful!! The amount of work must have been staggering. We've been following you for years and this and Untethered are true cinematic works of art. Let's get this past a million views!!!

[@geoffheith]

Love the new film man. As a fly fisherman I was yelling at you to stay out and fish different areas right behind you. As someone who once had to learn to find those spots I felt your pain. Great work friend in one of my fave places in the world. Beautiful

[@callingoftheheart-shortfil2324]

4:20 love that low flyby! never hurts to ask...

[@Levi_Allen]

Always worth the ask

[@tonjelilleaas]

Really one to be proud of, Levi👏 The moment you dropped that fish, I really felt your frustration. Great storytelling, excellent quality, just a delight to watch. Congrats!

[@angrygardener2430]

Best film I’ve seen on this platform. Outstanding Levi, great storytelling and filmmaking as always.

[@paulschina]

Levi, this is a masterpiece. I have been watching your videos for years, and this is the best one I have seen-not just from you, but from others on KZbin as well. Amazing work! The story, imagery, sound design, and intro (which I watched twice) are all exceptional, and even the thumbnail stands out. I applaud you. I truly hope this video performs well; it can be disheartening when our best work doesn't succeed on KZbin. I hope that does not happen, but if by any chance it does, remember that we, your loyal audience, appreciate your work, and I definitely consider this your best work.

[@margoburns9085]

This is my favorite part of your channel. Love your solo adventures, and love that you challenge yourself. I feel so fortunate to live in this amazing province. Thanks for another epic film.

[@lifeofjonboy]

Levi, thank you for being such an inspiration for people like myself. The storytelling, epic cinematography and your genuine dedication to the craft blows me away. I’m genuinely so driven to keep pushing and honing my skills as an adventure filmmaker. Thank you friend. Keep creating 🤌🏼🔥👊🏼

[@LukeVanHuizen]

I died when the fish dropped

[@ElenaIvanova-gd8hy]

Levi, this is a stunning video! The picture, the editing, the sound - super! You created such tension that I screamed when the fish jumped out of your hands. Thank you for the emotions and warmth in your work, for the energy and experience that you share!

[@Jess_and_Alex_Adventures]

Absolutely love the rawness of this film! So much inspiration to do trips like this!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

This was wild Levi! That moment you dropped the fish, yikes. But you pressed on and did it!

[@sc9698]

I have been subscribed and following you for many, many years. Loving your videos, but this one beats them all. I'm writing this just 5 minutes in your video. It's captivating! Thank you.

[@DangerousTrucking]

Loved the whole thing, but the cinematography was next level. As a lifelong fly fisherman, the story about needing to catch a fish so that you could eat really resonated with me, it made the adventure even better to follow. I like to cook those little guys whole, the meat falls off the bone and you don’t lose anything while filleting , but I do like what you did there. Great video.

[@tonyromano08]

Love this. I can feel the aloneness simultaneously the beauty.

[@evan24pen]

My heart has never broken for a man more than seeing Levi drop his fish 😭😂😅

[@jamesprecious1035]

What a beautiful gift to us all! Thank you Levi this was a fantastic effort, your talent is deep.

[@TinCanCampers]

Levi am I just now learning you are younger than me?! What an epic adventure! Can’t wait to learn how you made the film with adventure film academy! This is the storytelling I need in my own adventures! Thanks for sharing

[@alwaysbecarving]

wow I can't believe you filmed all this by yourself. You're a true legend.

[@heydanking]

Thanks for sharing this adventure with us and encouraging all of us to get outside what is comfortable and find more of life.

[@robbiefilms]

drone shots are super clean

[@matthewjoelmusic]

Such an honour to have some music in this film! Beautiful work Levi. I love when "The Grey Line" comes in at 13:06.

[@HikingHansen]

Levi! This is way too good! I'm blown away by your editing, filmmaking and storytelling. Keep it up!

[@janellevk]

🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 some of your best work right here

[@calebsmith98]

After watching a couple survival shows about doing this exact thing, I’ve never seen anything like this with the amount of cinematic detail and suspense with that fish! Oh man that must have hurt! Good work brother!

[@katimaboy]

What a roller-coaster of emotions ! Thanks for sharing

[@woodycarr]

Wonderful story telling that's beautifully filmed and edited. It doesn't get better than that. Well done Levi! Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@Malikmxk]

This video is incredible! The production quality is top-notch, and the adventure is truly epic. I really appreciate you putting this together. I’m excited for two reasons: first, content like this is so rare on KZbin these days, with most of it being short clips, but this feels like it belongs on Netflix. Second, the adventure itself is something every guy dreams of experiencing. Outstanding work, brother! 👊 As for your course, I’m sure it’s great. While I can’t join at the moment, I hope to in the near future!

[@tommy-vella]

Great film and an experience that will be part of your life forever. Thank you for sharing it all with us. It must be a huge relief to finally have this film done and online! I hope you are happy with the result. In my opinion all the effort was worthed. Thank you so much, Levi!

[@AllPathsLeadToWater]

Amazing job Levi! Beautiful video, awesome message at the end, and so impressed that you filmed all this alone, while hungry and getting swarmed by bugs! How did you enjoy learning to fly fish? After growing up learning to fish with a 'conventional' spin rod, I spent 30 days mountaineering in the wilderness with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) and learned to fly fish in the mountains of Wyoming. This video brought back some of those fond memories! Thanks for sharing these awesome stories with us!

[@6FootVampire]

Snakes and bears. I could never 😂

[@etwmediaproductions]

What an incredible film my friend. Holy! The suspense of you finding food was stressful for me as a viewer! I’m glad you finally caught something and had such a wonderful experience. I agree with the ending of your film and this was just wow. Congrats buddy!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

We live in an amazing province. Thoroughly enjoyed your video Levi!

[@cozyburrito686]

Wow, this was absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing this beautiful journey! ❤from Vancouver, BC!

[@mgreidanus]

gorgeous cinematography! what a spectacular place. thanks for taking us along.

[@aswiftadventure9140]

Thank you so much for sharing this! This video was one of the most gratifying videos I have watched in a long time. You are truly an epic filmmaker and I totally take my head off and salute you.

[@woody6791]

I have been camping in the wilderness all my life, I’ve travelled to so many places, train hopping, hitchhiking, biking, motorcycling, driving… I have slept on rooftops and parks in Vancouver, San Francisco, NYC. I lived in a cabin in the Yukon, in Quebec, in Wyoming. Picked fruits in New Zealand, worked as a rock sculptor in Paris, been a truck driver in a Pete 389 cross border in North America, helped as a sound engineer in different venues… i’ve done so much and the outdoor always has been my favourite. I always find myself coming back to wanting to go on a 2 week canoe trip or on a sled dog adventure. I loved it deeply. And sometimes I watch KZbin and I see so many KZbinrs nowadays getting out there and filming themselves. They get hundred thousands of followers. They get there with over 20k of gear fitting in a backpack. Make great cinematic short film and put dedication into this lifestyle. And I admire that but more than 50% of the time, I unfortunately find it cringe, or sad in a way… I never tell anyone what to do, i’ve met so many different people and i’ve been in so many situations and felt lots of different emotions all my life. I rarely find stuff cringe. I just don’t give a f usually. But yeah man these KZbinrs nowadays lol haha yeah sometimes that’s cringe. Felt like I needed to say that. But in the end I don’t care. It feels weird thinking that I could have filmed all my life and adventures and put it on KZbin and I probably would be a millionaire…but I would have never had all that great free time and amazing life that I lived. Just cause I’d be busy editing, promoting, planning, working, caring, spending and yeah to each their own. So I suggest to the viewer, try to go out a bit much and enjoy, don’t just watch videos, go do it. That’s a suggestion. Good night

[@dennislrobertson]

Great film Levi

[@analogemma]

WOW. As someone who has lived in corn all her life and only last month went out to the American west to live in the mountains for a month, this was such a fun watch and really makes me yearn to get back out there. But that solo paranoia is so real man. Great editing and compositions

[@scalewarmachines]

Great filmmaking on a mostly empty stomach. Imagine what you could have done with a few cheeky snacks! Amazing film Levi. Well done sir.

[@EmrahDemirag]

I'm just having my branch in Kitsilano and watching this beautiful video. Thanks Levi

[@RickyNotSoMartin]

This is so good Levi!!! Wow!

[@kevgoes]

Awesome film. Really captured the feelings of the struggle.... and your dedication to the film throughout. Excellence!

[@ProjectFreewheel]

This was so good, thank you Levi! The colour grading is impeccable. Really captured a vibe!

[@pappasmooth9051]

Honestly Levi never fails to impress me with the cinematography. Awesome stuff man🔥🖖

[@ApiaryGaming]

Leave the water before dehooking the fish haha, or bring a net! What a great trip in a beautiful place

[@JeffRynning]

Been looking forward to this since you learned how to fly fish. So good! What an experience. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@milomagic5926]

I often read this passage when I'm alone, from Edward Hoagland's Early in the Season: A British Columbia Journal. "I talked to the Forestry Warden who has lived alone for seven winters in Jasper Park. 'What did you learn?' I asked. 'You learn to put up with yourself. You learn to tolerate your own company,' he said. 'Do you have any hallucinations?' 'No. If you have hallucinations you get squirrelly, you can't tolerate your own company,' he said.

[@steepedinadventure]

I love the color grading!!!

[@JamesLeithart]

I just clicked on the video, but I just wanted to pop in here and say i'm SO excited to watch this! Been waiting for it for a bit since you first mentioned it!

[@JRs-Garage]

WOW Levi ! I bet those fish were the best meal you’ve ever had! That was amazing, I grew up hunting and fishing close to there , in the early 1980’s ,my favorite uncle was an rugged outdoorsman and he taught me to challenge myself in a similar way when I was 11 for my first trip with him we did a similar thing but we built a shelter first then fished !

[@Jesse_Dhue]

Epic film Levi❤ looks wild! Good on you mate

[@Jordan_Moore]

That was amazing! It felt like an episode of Alone where the contestant also happened to be a really talented filmmaker!

[@FilmsByVini]

Such a great video, you nailed the color grading and the editing. Props to you for camping alone, only way I’d camp alone would be if I sleep in my car while it’s in my garage hahaha

[@Spangocico]

beautiful video. always amazed at how well you can put something together. Much love

[@Freeontheland2030]

Very enjoyable, beautiful scenery and you definitely challenged yourself and that is going to pay dividends for the rest of your life.

[@ifonlyseethrumyeyes8957]

Loved this film Levi ❤ thanks

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Very good Levi!

[@Levi_Allen]

Thank you Taylor 🙏

[@FERRYKANA]

As always, superb video !!! What blew my mind is the reason behind this plan that you wrote at the end of it.

[@cyberflippo]

Saying “Hi” from the Netherlands, subscribed immediately after only watching your video half way. Love the scenery, your honest storytelling and last but certainly not least your stunning videography!! Wow, you deserve much more views!! Very interested in the gear you use and the editing you’ve done so I’m on the edge on my seat for more content (will watch older videos after this one for sure) 😊

[@dustinherzberger4186]

This video made me feel great. Great work.

[@Isaac_SimanBrothersOutdoors]

Dig the film and the adventure, drone shots were definitely the highlight!

[@riseauto1]

Had us on the edge of our seats great film

[@nuvindu95]

Absolutely brilliant man. Much love ❤

[@joni82harju]

This video was amazing 🔥 I don’t know how you do this but you really know how to do epic adventures! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jouwfilmenfoto]

That moment 31:23! My heart skipped a beat! I love the whole movie. It builds up and up. And that moment 38:58 brought a big smile on my face. What a great way to start the day with a Levi Allen movie!

[@NomiSyed1]

Amazingly done bro. Great job Levi.

[@unimog404]

thank you for sharing this amazing trip! it was a joy to watch 😍

[@DPCTechnology]

Beautiful work...

[@TheCanadianBubba]

An absolutely epic adventure Levi ! Some absolutely amazing shots as well. When you were going through the rapids I was yelling at you to stop and fish there LOL ! Shade overhangs or lily pads are usually great spots to score as well. Cheered when you did land those fish, likely one of the best meals you ever had ! Always look forward to more adventures from you 👍

[@BlairLandry]

what an adventure! you outdid yourself with this one.

[@documentaryfilmacademy]

Great work Levi! Great storytelling and beautiful cinematography.

[@Levi_Allen]

Thanks a ton!

[@bstreutker3135]

Amazing film Levi. What a cool experience 🤘🏻

[@andyupsidedown]

Gorgeous, enjoyed it a lot. Really nicely made

[@MrMisuma]

I loved the quality and honest video! New sub from Denmark 🇩🇰😊

[@Cool-Story-Studios]

Love the film and looking forward to the BTS.

[@misteratwood]

Awesome production Levi!

[@tylernblaney]

Incredible. Thank you for this beautiful video :)

[@wendywitzig119]

Epic on so many levels!

[@JordanPike]

I'm watching this while being 50 hours fasted. So I feel your pain, a bit, haha. Some sweet shots with the plane.

[@slygrin1971]

What you did there is something that I always wanted to do. Hope someday I can do it too.

[@stevewebb6021]

Up north is very beautiful. I’ve been in the Spatsizi and Edziza areas several times. Almost thought the one picture was of your Dad and my brother, quite likely they fished together. Love the Dease area too, I’m up there very year. This would be a great BMFF video.

[@mikevkshema]

Steve, your brother and I fished a lot - he had a pickup that could go anywhere, but those pictures were of my cousin and my Dad and brother. It was at Shames bar.

[@JeremyTGrant]

This is incredible

[@TrevorVaubel]

KZbin, put this video in the algo!

[@WatermanSurin]

that was beautiful Levi

[@Zorn27]

Very cool adventure, subscribed :)

[@neilbarriskell7840]

This is insanely good!
