Winter Nature Walk & Exploration ASMR (Crunchy Leaves, Gravel, Trickling Stream, etc.)

A relaxing walk through the woods during winter, here in the northern hemisphere (Pennsylvania). I ramble a bit while exploring the sights and sounds of the woodlands from the crunch of the gravel and dried leaves beneath my feet, to the fallen leaf debris and moss that grows on the stones & fallen trees.

Ah, and so we return to the channel's roots. Love it!

Heh, ROOTS

Sooo true

[@VivisSymphony]

Ephemeral Rift gives off the vibes of the substitute teacher everyone loves to have more than the regular teacher cuz not only do you learn more, you have fun while doing it.

[@Cannubal]

I agree lol I kinda feel like the uncle I never had, but is now here

[@Jpnotmyname]

This man cant partially hear out of one ear and he is still making daily asmr videos for others to enjoy, the true chad.

[@PBunyanOx]

The cool uncle of asmr.

[@mattbaxter6414]

Really nice comment and you ruin it by using the word chad

[@isfbuster6733]

@@OccupiedMuffins so you don't think partial hearing would make it a bit more difficult making asmr videos (with in ear microphones) that are all obviously about sounds? Your lmao just comes across as you being a bit of a dick as well

[@scareluv]

I went 21 seconds into this video's and I'm already thinking about going outside more often and just walk in the park or in the forest. It's actually soothing and relaxing to just go for a walk in a forest when it's completely quiet and no one else is around

[@Ironknucklesolutions]

did you go?

[@jessegrove5456]

Really healthy for your brain and sleep to go outside in the morning so your eyes get exposure to the high energy light waves. Check out Dr Huberman if you want to learn more about this

[@leomartin7409]

Until you're not

[@Jaksonranger]

I really wanna see the modern Rift Walk & Exploration series where we get a rambling/calming session for every type of season on this same pathway: we've got rainy, we've got crisp winter, now we gotta get a spring, summer and fall video

[@Mountainfella]

My best years of watching Ephemeral Rift has to be 2014 to 2017 after that life got too busy with marriage and children 😂 Man you don’t know how much your video has helped me get through so many lonely nights 👊🏽❤️

[@aloyaldemon6816]

Living in a city for school has made me realize just how much I miss going outside and interacting with nature. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@mathewmcintyre5379]

Beautiful time of year to be in the woods when it's crisp and dry with a cool breeze.

[@maksymilians931]

Paul really has this "how do you do, fellow millenials" energy to him. Love you Paul!

[@willynthepoorboys2]

I truly enjoy your nature hike videos, they are very grounding for me.

[@RobinBraccini]

You playing with the pebbles and the stream made me smile. These nature rambles are what I watch when I can’t sleep at night. They’re very calming

[@jex8542]

This looks like the forest that Jack Skellington wanders into overnight. Also, in the off chance Paul seems this, the sound of the wind in the trees (not the leaves) is called 'the sough'. :)

[@EphemeralRift]

Ty! That’s 2 new words added to my small vernacular: sough and apricity

[@FartCrack]

those gentle water sounds you can subtly hear in the background, make the video even better!!!

[@samuelbrooks9283]

Hope all is well Rift. Thank you for making such great ASMR 🙏

[@Sarackosmo]

Yyyyyaaaassss.... I'm gonna love this for the next few months. Bless you Uncle E for taking care of my sleep. 😇

[@mr.krabs1009]

I love these, just being your true self is very relaxing and relatable and I love how you bring some of yourself into the characters you play

[@call_me_mado5987]

This is the kind of stuff i need when I'm sick af, thanks ER

[@misanthropic168]

Good now uncle. Much love to you and Corvus

[@misanthropic168]

Fellow PA kid here

[@Silverritter]

My man is one of the most relaxing people out there

[@carlosgarcia5223]

This is extremely calming and I do this every now and again and I hope uncle E you’re doing well and much love and please keep doing what you love to do

[@elijahrw4102]

Always know it's going to be a great video when uncle E goes on a walk in the woods

[@Choccoco]

I remember watching your forest walk through from yeaaaaaars ago. Happy to have another one!

[@wannabe-kal9759]

wussup rift! hope mother nature displayed beautiful scenery for calming and relaxation!!! always good to connect with nature atleast once a day

[@clutch2864]

Uncle E is genuinely one of the most kind hearted people on this platform and it just warms my soul🥹

[@AsmrBoxVideo]

What a wonderful day ☺️

[@shto4782]

Best asmr video ever im not even joking! Love the vibe, the sun, sounds…

[@Klaxir]

Currently -10 here in Fairbanks, Alaska with about 5 ft of snow on the ground. I am jealous.

Can't Wait for spring!

Then get a slinky.

Wow, how fun. I'm from a patch of woods in delaware so this reminded me so much of home

[@allenbell1427]

Was 15 degrees Celsius, 60 F today in Salzburg, Austria and the sky was more blue than its been all winter. Had a picnic and drank some wine and relaxed. This video captures that essenc

[@bdub2832]

My absolute favorite type of videos from you. Takes me back to the early days of your channel

[@AlexSnopow]

Oh I wish I had soft and warm winter like this. Not -30 outside.

[@super4udila40]

oh my god, this forest reminds me of my walks in Chertanovo, Moscow. The most peaceful place in the city

[@lhuinker]

Thank you for providing us with so much peace. This video brought me home. 💚

[@Teh_Bean]

I'm loving that lo-fi GoPro audio.

[@EYESTABGUTS]

Paul is amazing. And this video I think is my favorite of all of them. I mean there are about 50 solid second places.. but this one climbed the top. And I’ve pinpointed the reason.. He’s walking. That’s it.

[@BridgetTheBiscuit]

Love these videos ER, as always

[@cloverskies77]

Beautiful nature in February…thanks great sounds. 😊🍂🍁

[@cnicoj]

Relaxing walk Mr. Rift !

[@andrewr6759]

I slept quite well, thank you kind sir

[@axlsynth9300]

We love your work, Uncle E. Godspeed to you.

[@wafflito]

Uncle Rift's voice is like a ballad in my ears, I can fall asleep to him no matter what he does (The PP video cracked me up though, took me awhile to sleep to that one but none-the-less, is a great creator and master relaxer)

[@TheLifeguard]

Yoooo. The nostalgia is real

[@_kurbur]

Crunchy

[@chrisflpizza7245]

man, i would kill for an asmr sesh by that stream. just making sounds with various forest material binaurally

[@evilcow2114]

Completely agree. The light sounds of the forest mixed with the running water is great.

[@stronkrecords]

rift gang

[@ZagoraZz]

Please make more of these, you're one of the few people who don't just tap on stuff but actually have nice, sometimes deep conversations. Even if more people did do these you'd still be one of the best at it!

[@misanthropic168]

It's so beautiful out there. Thanks brother.

[@tomsjuh]

Love these type of video’s! Maybe try with a 360 camera that would be awesome!

[@lona9633]

woo just laid down

[@XoXoRC]

Damm that's some nice timing

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

Should I revive you?

[@evilcow2114]

I’m one of the people who loves a nice cloudy, rainy day. Heat causes sever migraines and seizures for me, but also just makes my depression so much worse.

[@ka8t]

The Rickett’s Glen sweatshirt ties it all together :) much love from northeast PA, Rift!

[@Cannubal]

Please do this more often uncle Rift! Love this vids

[@metalmad8978]

This is the kind of video I could watch forever. Nature, calming sounds, ER talking about anything that takes his fancy. Bliss.

[@catalina481]

It's 5.50, and the storm outside woke me up. I'm kinda scared of it so thank you for keeping me company while I try to sleep again🧡

[@ritmoasmr]

What a vibe

[@mattball420]

Your concious mind: oh neat, trickling water Your primal instincts: you can relax now, you wont die today.... probably

I am always traveling through time. Forward and at a steady speed, but traveling nonetheless!

Love these nature walk videos so muchhhh. 🥰

[@KeithOlson0326]

Love these forest videos. It is amazing how different forests are on the west coast. You should experience that sometime of you haven't already!

Nice winter, lucky you ! Thanks a lot for sharing

Always ahead of the asmr game

Rift, I truly loved this video! Keep it up!

[@Shaddoes]

i’ve recently started going on walks it’s so relaxing

[@Matrocity]

Damn the audio in this video is actually different and weird but quite nice still. Love the random muffled footstep sounds.

[@Stoopjunk]

this man inspires. i love you ER !!

[@nickb1892]

Greatest ASMaRtist, in my opinion, my personal favorite. Even the most decently respecting women asmr content on KZbin, I would chose Rift if only one Artist. Much Love to you, Rift. I know that you don't subscribe to the belief of Christian Faith, but whether or not we're right or not, or in agreement, Bless You and Your Family, all that you do, Love, and are Passionate about. Been watching you for the past 10 years, Wow!

[@nickb1892]

Additional comment Isn't it a shame how one must worry about others judgement based on society? I noticed when you were ear cupping, you had made the comment about what another approaching may think. The natives would take time during peak sunrise, and final sunset, beginning sunrise, to really feel spiritually, shamelessly. I don't know this, but I can only imagine. I feel like I could cry in the sun, and feel great relief after all of the time lacking spiritual kindling. I'm a little crazy, but a good enough actor to blend in enough to hardly tell!

[@kitty_810]

I love you so much dude

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

This is just really nice.

[@DarkExhibit11]

Awesome . . . I like when you came to the woods . . . .

[@DarkusZarvix]

I live in NH and I have noticed this weird "February Thaw" where there's this one week usually in February usually that just gets real warm. I was on Univ. of New Hampshire's campus one year (2012/2013 maybe?) during the thaw and people were sunbathing in bathing suits on the massive, open laws because it got to 70+ degrees. It was crazy. It falls back down again within days though. So bizarre of a trend. Mother Nature being a massive tease. I honestly think it is necessary to slowly wake everything up and basically acts as an alarm for nature to prepare to wake up. The cold afterward is the snooze of that alarm.

[@Tattiestewe1340]

i missed these kinds of videos

[@nickb1892]

Thanks rocks! 🪨

[@SushiBonJ]

Love you uncle E, thank you

[@almamater8515]

i love this video! please repeat this style!!! 😍😍😍😍 be happy!

Much love to you and your family and friends

Amaizing

[@joshmaynard8757]

I just stumbled across this video. I think you and Lloyd’s asmr could make a great nature walk through video together just walking and talking about nature.

[@EphemeralRift]

appreciate the comment but we're not friends. we collaborated once and that was fine at the time. i don't collaborate with anyone. prefer to be a... hermit, a recluse, and independent, if you will.

[@Noodle177]

man that place looks beautiful. i should really get out more often

[@SEMPERVIGILANTES]

Do it more like this. Its good!

[@BrittanyASMR]

ER, you old so-and-so. I’m glad to see you’ve been well! This is a lovely little walk you’ve invited us on. Love the crunching underfoot.

[@Mindfulness4904]

This sound is very helpful for one who feels stress and want to sleep peacefully.

[@Solitario9475]

Should totally do this again but with the alien outfit so you can scare the hell out of some folks xD

[@Yeasure-yh2bv]

Man got so much patience i love it

[@dspursuer]

middle of February in ER universe: crunchy leaves, shiny sun middle of February in my universe: 30 minutes of intense snow shovelling to un-bury my car just for it to be buried in snow again in half a week

[@softia42]

🤣 middle of February in Reunion Island : praying the air-con doesn't break, if not the car turns into an oven 🕶☀

[@Quincyq15]

You should do one at valley forge. It’s beautiful there.

[@aidanjude2110]

I wish I had this kind of environment near me to walk though. Looks so nice to do on a nice day.

[@MustObeyTheRules]

Pretty depressing to not have anything like that. I know what that’s like tho. That’s why I moved

[@asmr_nature_therapy]

I think we all need to spend more time in nature to give our soul some rest! 😊 good day everyone

[@theyoungfenix]

I looove this one ❤🤭

[@dash5573]

This deserves millions of views

[@TheLitebrite00]

I absolutely love going on these walks with you!

[@tigrex3622]

Answering to your doubt at 7:36 reason why you probably find it soothing its because since old times we humans settled where the water was because its equal to life and resources.Thats why the sound of water its relaxing,its like nature saying;here theres life.Thats why(funny enough)humans can "smell" humid areas and rain better than sharks blood on the sea,so imagine the connection we have

[@SCP--wc3wb]

Hello again Doctor, It's been a while. Hope you're doing good this year. 🖤

Oooh looks like a fun vid!
