[@ChristinaBatte]

Dana's voice is so comforting

[@WildWeRoam]

Thanks for the lovely comment Christina! Never gotten one on my voice before so that's pretty cool ; ) Hope you're having a nice weekend!

[@ChristinaBatte]

you too! Keep the videos coming I'm hooked.

[@helenlemay2315]

[@WildWeRoam]

eek and we're so happy you found us Helen :) Thank you so much for the kind words. It means so much to Lou and I to have your support. Can't wait to share more with you each and every Tuesday!

[@shanyaraleonie]

THE EDIT....THEEEEE EEEEEEDIIIIIIT! Speechless. You genius lou! And camping trip wise.....how on earth did you get back? by walking, too? you crazy peeps!

[@WildWeRoam]

eeek so glad you liked it Gloria!!!! we have to go camping all together now that youre in Berlin :) maybe post baby?! springtime? as for getting home there were tons of buses (we totally could have taken public transport there just decided to make a huge day out of it hahah)

[@shanyaraleonie]

but you took the bus home right? or did you walk home, too? :O ohh I'm all for pre-baby camping :D but not sure about the weather..

[@9350mamamia]

I truly appreciate your free spirits...AMAZING journey in your lives! Thanks for sharing you

[@Adi-pw1ed]

I enjoy your videos so much. You're living my dreams, travelling like that! Wishing you all the best! 🌿

[@Adi-pw1ed]

btw ( I'd like to go camping somewhere in a mountain village of Germany/Switz/Austria)

[@WildWeRoam]

I'm so happy that you're loving our videos Adi! And you even responded to the little question I snuck in the description which made my day :) I highly recommend those camping spots too - southern germany is absolutely stunning/ though i haven't been to Austria or Switzerland yet, they're top of our list for when we get our van next year. Sending you so much love from Berlin 💜💜

[@Adi-pw1ed]

Make sure to share some snippets here! :) Have a great weekend you two!

[@SustainablyVegan]

Ah ma gad your editing is just insanely beautiful - I'm too inspired right now binge watching your videos

[@WildWeRoam]

eeek hearing about people watching through all our content makes me so excited!! hope you're having a beautiful weekend :) much love from berlin

[@louibeans]

Three and a half minutes in an utterly impressed by Lou's pronounciation of German words. NAILED IT! Now continuing to watch.

[@louibeans]

Ok, watched the rest. I remember visiting the Elbsandsteingebirge with school when I was 17. But weirdly I don't remember a bridge at all. It's beautiful! How did you guys get back when you took a 5-hour-hike to get there?

[@louibeans]

I have a favorite camping ground but it's in southern Switzerland right on the shore of Lago Maggiore :) Unfortunately it was sold about 8 years ago and we've never been since, as they changed the whole camping ground and nothing is like we remember it. Felt like losing a home to me.

[@WildWeRoam]

aw svenja thank you for all the comments!! so cool that you've been to Elbsandsteingebirge too - maybe you didn't go over to the look out point when you visited? honestly when we got up there we didn't even realize that we were on the bridge at first, so maybe that happened to you too! As for Lago Maggiore - I just googled it and it looks insanely beautiful. I'm going to add it to our travel list for when we get our van next year and maybe we can find another good spot :) Sorry to hear about the one that you used to visit. Such a bummer when things like that happen.

[@louibeans]

Plant Based Traveler Maybe I just don't remember it properly, I mean it was almost ten years ago :) Tessin is like a second home to me since we went every single summer when I was little, for 10 years. Sometimes twice a year. I know the area pretty well. Last time I was there was 2011 and I plan on returning there next year :) If you go, make sure to visit my favorite spots, some of the most beautiful places I've ever been to: - promenade of Ascona - Ponte dei Salti, Lavertezzo (google it!!!) - Vale Versasca - Versasca Dam (where part of James Bond movie Golden Eye was shot) - Isola Bella - The Lorcarno market I know countless other locations there but not all by name, some I just know where to go :) Like hidden hiking paths and stuff.

[@TheDonots99]

I really enjoy your youtube channel. It reminds me a lot of the traveling moments with my girlfriend. But I laughed so much about the corn scene. Almost every corn field in Germany is for the animal food production (especially for pigs). It's not the same sort of corn you eat as human ;) That's why it doesn't taste. But when we have been kids we ate it too :)

[@WildWeRoam]

Ah so happy you found our channel! The corn scene still gets me when I rewatch it too - i was SOOO sure that I was going to be able to eat it, but it was SO hard. Definitely not meant for humans hahah :) thanks for the insight about it being feed for animals.

[@mayainmotion]

this was amazing :)))! all the vivid details from the photos emerging with the video makes me feel as though i was there - love how positive you were about the corn, Dana! i love finding little things like that when exploring + wandering and bringing some kind of token of remembrance back home, even if it's just one meal ^_^ kind of extends the adventure + feeling of it, just a little bit longer!

[@WildWeRoam]

Thanks so much for watching! It really was such a beautiful camping trip, can't wait to get back into the woods again ; ) That corn was funny--I really really thought it was going to be edible because someone else had grabbed it before and it looked so so good but I guess some kinds of corn are just for animals or something? Hope your having a good week!

[@guillermolastra]

excelente!!! la edición de video fantástica!!!! creo q este fue uno de los mejores , música he imagen , Gracias Lu y espero al próximo martes!!!!! gracias de nuevo!, a eso q cosecharon es maíz para alimentar animales o gallinas , así es incomible solo q hagan harina y después tortillas ! un abrazo desde NYC!

[@WildWeRoam]

Muchísimas gracias por mirar Guillermo!!! Estoy tan feliz te gustó el video de esta semana. Y gracias por la información sobre el maíz. Definitivamente no estaba destinado a ser comido por humanos. Un abrazo desde Berlin :)

[@molleighcook7137]

Can't wait for the photos! Your videos are always wonderful and i'm loving these snippets!

[@WildWeRoam]

Beautiful. Loved the sunflowers!

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you so much for watching Keala! It was such a magical surprise turning the corner and finding that field :)

[@AbroadonaBudget]

I loved revisiting this place. When I went, it was late in the day in August and there was a performance at the outdoor theater. The sun was setting and the choir was echoing off all the rocks in a totally otherworldly way. I had the bridge all to myself for awhile and it was amazing. Thanks for capturing the beauty of this place so well

[@PHILMMedia]

Wow I am so glad I discovered your channel. You prove creativity in all that you do.

[@WildWeRoam]

[@WildWeRoam]

Thanks so so much! This place was beautiful in real life so it wasn't really all that hard to capture ; ) Can't wait to make some beautiful videos of Portugal this summer when we travel through there in the van (hopefully) ---Lou

[@Pedro23122]

Now instated of going to Faro (btw that video is breathtaking) , you should come to Porto . I assure you , you will feel Porto's cozy vibe ! And if you need any places to go , just let me know ! :)

[@colbytrudel7636]

Absolutely love the style of the video! :)

[@WildWeRoam]

Thanks so much for watching and for the lovely comment ; )

[@jackie4595]

Great trip and great video! Thanks for sharing... and Lou, your german pronounciation is soo good! And Dena's is really sweet ;)

[@WildWeRoam]

Aw thanks for watching Pola! So happy to hear you enjoyed the video :) and all the pronunciation errors hahaha

[@EasyVegans]

So rad! Just subscribed. KZbins suggestions did me well!

[@WildWeRoam]

Glad you found us!! ---Lou

[@emilianoschiatti3470]

The video is greatly made as usual, the place and the view stunning! I'm looking forward to see 35mm shots :3

[@WildWeRoam]

Thanks so much for watching Emiliano - im getting so nervous waiting for the photos to come back. Keeping my fingers crossed that I got most of them in focus!!!!

[@coco_kapfer]

I got so excited about the corn! Wish I was going camping with you two. :D

[@WildWeRoam]

ahhah me tooooo!!! And yes one day we gotta make that happen :) my vote is in hawaii!!!

[@AnaloguePhoto]

Great story about the walk to the bridge. Videos from spooky heights like this one always makes my stomach turn. But still enjoyed the beautiful footage.

[@WildWeRoam]

Thanks! It was a little spooky on some of those trails looking down for sure! Still learning to cope with heights since we want to do a lot more hiking in the future but its always fun to push yourself and overcome new challenges ; )

[@JosephHardinFilms]

so good! your editing/filming style is so fresh and unique!!

[@WildWeRoam]

thank you so much Joseph! Means so much to hear that :)

[@adamkilam]

+Plant Based Traveler you should do video about your filming process. that would be awesome

[@dancer4ever125]

Aw this was so cute! I'd love to go camping at Big Sur!

[@WildWeRoam]

ahhh Big Sur sounds incredible!! I really want to do a full tour of the west coast one day, but feel like its pretty far off since we're in europe now. but gah exploring the pacific northwest too would just be out of this world!

[@4everdreamer569]

Wild enough...my dad will ONLY eat corn on the cob raw and he craves it like sweets!! He LOVES it sooooo much!!

[@luisareis6753]

hahahaha you guys crack me up. these little comments down below about the corn :D what was so horrible about it? BTW the editing is on point again. how the heck to you even do that, it's incredible!

[@WildWeRoam]

hahah the corn!!! glad we can look to everyone here to find out what the deal with it was. Seriously such a shock to bite down and have it be hard as a rock! but yes, lou's editing skills are getting out of this world. I just watch the videos over and over and am in awe of his skillzzzzz

[@juancampoo]

You are awesome!

[@WildWeRoam]

aww you are too kind! thank you! - Dana

[@paulseifert539]

Omg I was there at Ostrauer Mühle one week later! I've been following your channel for two years, so I didn't notice it... The sächsische Schweiz is awesome, isn't it?

[@cassiagp87]

Germany is such a beautiful place! I wish I could go there one day.🙏🏻Love the vid as always.😊😍

[@WildWeRoam]

It just keeps surprising me more and more as I take the time to go explore other parts outside of Berlin. Thank you so much for watching Cassia :) Really means so much that you enjoy our videos 💕💕💕

[@Earthwoman100]

Wow, that was a long long walk but so worth it! I just hope you didn't have to walk all the way back the same day!

[@WildWeRoam]

It was so so worth the journey! Even though there was easy public transportation there and back we decided walking there would be more of an adventure and it sure was - though we were way too tired to walk all the way back hahah

[@kathrinjona2007]

hey=) you two make me smile and everything is ok when i watch your videos=) i also want to hike in the "sächsische schweiz", but i'm not sure where to stay. did you do wild camping? and which tent did you brought, i guess it is very light=D lots of love

[@WildWeRoam]

Hi! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! We stayed at a campsite called "Camping & Pension Ostrauer Mühle" which was really nice and had showers, bathrooms, a kitchen, laundry and all sorts of other stuff. We've read that wild camping is illegal in Germany so this didn't seem like the best trip to test out that law! Especially since its a very popular hiking destination so theres not actually all that much wilderness where you'd be able to find a spot to secretly camp! Our tent is a marmot 3p Thor which we got primarily because its super strong, and it can be used in the winter and in big storms, so this way we can do some winter camping this winter, and hopefully we won't have to buy another tent for a very very long time! It's not a very light tent--the really light tents are super expensive and more fragile--but we really really love it because its the perfect size for 2 people and big enough for 3 if you need another spot for a friend or brother ; )

[@mila.inthewoods]

I love the overlaying editing technique you guys used in this vid! I also love how you used a real paper map, was it hard to follow? Did you use a compass? My favorite camping spot would probably be this one campsite in Shenandoah in Virginia. I was there once 6 years ago when I was 14, but we camped at an RV site with a convenience store in the center of camp. Next time, I'd rather go to the Old Rag mountain, more inland, faaar away from civilization!! :D

[@WildWeRoam]

One of my best friends when to UVA and then worked at UVA hospital for a few years after graduation and she spent a ton of time exploring Shenandoah and the Blue Ridge Mountains and I always adored her photos. Definitely a spot I'd love to visit one day :) Thanks so much for watching this week Mila! We actually didn't have too much of a hard time using the map - the red blazes on the trail helped a lot and even with a few little detours here and there we were able to find our way no problem without a compass.

[@mila.inthewoods]

I definitely want to explore the Blue Ridge Mountains too. Next summer, hopefully I'll have a car by then, so I can go with friends and camp out there. Oh yeah! those red blazes reminded me of the flag of Japan!

[@kimimrqz]

Can't wait for next tuesdaaaaay! I think that corn is what they feed farm animals like pigs or chickens.

[@WildWeRoam]

I think you're right Kimi! Definitely not for human consumption hahah thank you for watching each week. So fun to see familiar faces in the comments like yours :)

[@MattiaBioli]

Fantastic colors grading! Lut which uses? (sorry for my English, i'm Italian) :D

[@WildWeRoam]

Thanks! We use Hunter's Alexa LUT in Davinci Resolve and then do a final color grade once the edit is locked to get everything nice in Avid : )

[@WildWeRoam]

We also shoot RAW with magic lantern so that's really why it looks the way it does..

[@bridgerito]

omg I love it when Lou makes Dana eat the corn 😂😂😂😂

[@WildWeRoam]

hahah that's my favorite part too!! i still can't believe it was hard as a rock! Even after we boiled it - completely inedible 😭😭

[@eladbari]

Very nice skin tones and overall color you have for the video, man! For the post processing, im not sure if you used some kind of LUT or some preset, but, at leas what picture profile did you shoot with on your Canon 5Dmk3?

[@WildWeRoam]

hey elad - here's a little breakdown of our workflow: we shoot RAW files using magic lantern raw hack, then those files get converted to Cinema DNG sequences using the RAWMagic converter (25 dollars in the app store) then they get imported into Davinci Resolve Lite (free online) and then we color grade them by making them flat and then apply Hunter's Alexa LUT, then they get exported as DNxHD files in the highest possible quality level and then we edit those in Avid MC where they are the preferred compressed video format. Once the edit is done and the video is on KZbin I delete the Cinema DNG sequences and the RAW files because we can't afford the amount of harddrive space keeping both those would entail--it's usually about 800GB per video, but once that's all deleted the DNxHD files are actually pretty small so its always less than 100GB per video, sometimes only like 20-30. So yeah, that's the workflow as of now, hope that helps a little!

[@eladbari]

Plant Based Traveler Wow, thanks for sharing your process. That's very interesting! I didnt know you were going through such a thorough workflow to make these videos. They all look great! Couple of things: 1. I'm a PC user, so I cant have that RAWMagic converter. I'll have to find a Windows alternative to extracting these RAW ML files. 2. I'm still sticking to Premiere+AE. Never dove into Davinci. It just seemed so complex, and especially- it's gets you out of the Adobe workflow, so I thought it was a hassle. Maybe im wrong? I'd have to see for myself.. 3. Regarding encoding. I need to re-render some normal video files from a 5D3 [not RAW]. Is DNxHD the way to go and it'll re-render them without losing quality? Is it a friendly codec to edit with? Or is it too heavy on the system? I hope you dont upload 20GB of DNxHD to youtube. Dont you render a final version of H.264? 4. I've downloaded Hunter's Alexa LUT [beta] from here: vimeo.com/67970827 I tried it on a RAW still I had and the image turned Super saturated and super bright. very unnatural look. So you say that for all of your RAW footage- you underexpose+make it flat before applying the LUT? Seems like you gotta do a lot of adjustments to use this LUT. but it really looks good at the end. especially skintones.

[@WildWeRoam]

Hi! Lou here, so Davinci isn't really a hassle for me because all I do is import the DNG's by dragging and dropping, then I make a sequence from those clips, switch them all to BMD which makes them flat, then you put the LUT on and can export them out as individual clips in whatever format you want--we just use DNxHD because its amazing for avid and cuts the file size way way down without a visible loss in quality but if your not using avid then maybe try a different codec that's meant for your editing system. If the colors look oversaturated its probably because you didn't shoot flat--make a profile in the camera and drag all the options down (pretty sure theres some tutorials on flat profile settings) or the other problem could be that you didn't flatten the clips in the edit before applying the lut--that's why I use davinci, because its free and all you do is click a button, apply to all, and then throw the LUT on. Hope that helps!

[@eladbari]

Plant Based Traveler Thanks for your kind reply, Lou :] 1. So, regarding shooting flat, I thought you were using some kind of picture style for Canon. You know, like Cinestyle or something? Youre not using any custom ones? You just shoot, let's say, on Neutral picture style that you completely desaturated in camera? 2. Regarding codec, I will check and see how DNxHD will work on my Premiere timeline. I still feel like it's relatively a massive codec size. I remember creating 30sec videos with it at work, and they were like 1-3GB. That's a lot when you work with, say, 1 hour of footage! You practically wanna tell me you fill up your entire SSD hard drive for each project you work on?

[@60lbackpack52]

You guys are living my dream. Im jelly :)

[@tugceozturk2514]

Wooww amazinggg editing colors everyting! Lucy to find you! Can i ask something? Which camera are you using? And are you using premier?

[@WildWeRoam]

So so happy you found us Tugce :) We use a Canon 5d mark iii and we edit on Avid. Hope you're having a great week!

[@tugceozturk2514]

thank you! you too :)

[@pattyr6446]

Wow, such a cool hike- if I had been with you I would of gotten the designation of Fitbit Queen! If you took 5 hours there, did you go back to your camp site or did you bring everything with you? The bridge was so cool can't wait to duplicate the hike

[@WildWeRoam]

So happy you liked the video Mom!! We went back to the campsite after - there was tons of public transportation options from our campsite we had just decided it would be more of an adventure to walk there :) next time you're in town we should definitely go!

[@j.harveycirque]

Did you guys use any kind of water filtration system on your camping trip??

[@WildWeRoam]

Hey Jessica! Thanks so much for watching :) We actually didn't on this trip as we were staying at a campsite that had bathrooms/showers, so we would just fill up 2 liters each before we left and then refill at different stops on the way (public bathrooms, water fountains, etc.) But if we were doing more remote camping we definitely would!

[@goodshotsproductions]

Saw your video in the thumbnails and I realised: Yeah, it's Tuesday!

[@WildWeRoam]

wooohhooo Tuesdays are our favorite! Well actually maybe wednesday.... getting to enjoy the joy of putting one of these snippets out into the world :)

[@OldCameras]

I've never been camping, and I don't think I ever will :) I'm too worried about the sounds I don't recognise. I think I have an issue being in an environment I can't control. Having said that, I have been 'glamping' (Glamour Camping). Thats when you're on a camp site in nature, but you've got a modern hut with wifi and jacuzzi :) And That corn was probably past-ripe and was now getting hard/dry. Corn at that stage is usually ground up into powder form to make bread, tacos, corn meal, etc.

[@WildWeRoam]

Never say never Adé! Though glamping sounds super lovely too hehehe thanks for the heads up about the corn. Even once we got it back to camp and boiled it, it was still super hard and inedible hahah definitely a silly moment though and now I know not to take corn from a random farmers field 😜

[@keithlepla2913]

Haha so you can eat field corn raw or cooked if you get it early enough before it is totally ripe. Not as sweet as sweet corn but still good!

[@pattyjordan7620]

Corn is edible raw - if it's ripe. Peel back the husk a little and press your nail into a kernel. If the juice is milky, it's ripe. Of course, there's still a difference between sweet corn, pop corn and what's used for flour.

[@WildWeRoam]

Thanks for the info Patty! The kernels were rock hard so definitely not ripe :) Next time ill check before picking!

[@hayyanriyadli]

I hope you come to INDONESIA.

[@WildWeRoam]

gahh that would be incredible!! definitely on our life list :) - Dana

[@mariamuller8354]

This is "feed corn" and intendend for milkcows, because of that it tastet so distgusting.. Xxx

[@WildWeRoam]

ahh thanks for the tip Maria!! Definitely wont be grabbing anymore corn fro the fields :)

[@JANKOLLPLAYZFX]

You shouldn't eat random corn in Germany sometimes it's full of chemicals

[@WildWeRoam]

Yeah we heard that afterwards! Turns out corn in germany is mostly just for the pigs ; ( ---Lou

[@folnich]

The corn you stole there is meant for feeding Farm animals, mostly cows and pigs. So yeah, it's not really up to our standards of taste :)

[@WildWeRoam]

hhaha good to know!! seriously couldn't believe how hard it was and even once we boiled it - definitely not for human consumption 😂😂

[@bridgerito]

ps let's go camping together one time!...or I've still gotta take you guys to the tree house 😎

[@WildWeRoam]

as for camping together it is a MUST!!!! let's plan an adventure tonight when you come over :)

[@finnikris]

GMO Corn... :/

[@WildWeRoam]

Indeed! ONly meant for the pigs I guess.... ----Lou

[@karenw8481]

feed corn, or decorative corn, not for humans
