What a beautiful video. It had Kraig Adams vibes but you made it your own and that's just lovely (I've seen so many "copies" of his style, which became boring at some point). Your video had something unique. And I loved seeing somebody hiking with his dog. He's so trusty and brave, what a good boy. The part of him crossing the suspension bridge in the beginning was just so cute. "Oh my, what is this shaky ground, I don't like it, but Yens is doing it, so can do it as well." Great you were able to give him 2 days of to do the ladder section. Thank you for sharing.

Mon père m’a fait marcher 20 km tous les dimanches dans les années 80, je ne comprenais pas pourquoi mais je le faisais…. Au bout de deux ans, il m’a dit qu’on allait aller faire un tour tous les deux dans la montagne, sans ma mère… et on a fait le tour du Mont Blanc, pendant 10 ou 15 jours, je ne sais plus…. Je ne comprenais son but à l’époque, alors que je n’avais que 12 ans…. Mais aujourd’hui, je suis fier d’avoir vécu cette expérience avec lui. On s’est retrouvé face a une tempête au niveau du refuge du col du bonhomme, on ne voyait plus rien, on avait peur, on a trouvé une maison abandonnée ou un couple s’était réfugié…. Quelle souvenir…. Je sais que par la suite il voulait qu’on aille au sommet mais on ne l’a jamais fait…. J’ai aujourd’hui 48 ans. Je suis tellement fier de l’avoir fait avec lui. Je suis heureux d’avoir fait plaisir à mon père par cette aventure, car je l’ai vu, il était heureux

To wander is such places alongside your best friend. What more could one desire? Life just doesn't get any better.

If I were ever asked to describe happiness, I'd show this video.

Excellent video—no commentary, just soothing music, allowing us to fully appreciate the scenery.

[frankiepavinato]

No words, no explanations…just relaxing music and beautiful views…I started watching the videos thinking that I’d watch just a couple of minutes, then another couple then I watched it all. Beautiful and it was cool to see your companion hiking with you, looks a really nice and trusty doggie.
Thank you for your video.

Your walk feels like my soul's journey into the beauty of the creator. Can't thank you enough

التناغم بين أصوات الطبيعة ومظاهرها يأخذ بمشاعرك وأحاسيسك أبعد بكثير جدا من أن تدمج معها أصوات الموسيقى ولو كانت تلك الموسيقى تبدو عذبة إلا أنها تأخذ بأحاسيسك في غير الاتجاه الذي تأخذك إليه مظاهر الطبيعة واصواتها معا؛ لأن مظاهر الطبيعة وأصواتها تتجلى فيهما يد الخالق وجماله فلا اكتئاب و لا قلق بل السعادة والطمأنينة، شكرا لك على الفيديو الرائع لقد حقق في نفسي كثيرا من ذلك، وعفوا على المداخلة؛ لكن التجربة أكبر دليل.

The fact this mountain has an actual (it seems) free to use lodge for camping that's already very advanced. The "time" markers on the signs telling you on average how long it would take you to walk a certain route... or the ropes put in place on hard to climb bits. There have been some hikes here in the UK that I wish I had at least those ropes tied to poles so I could hold on to. Worst thing is when going up really steep rocks and your foot slips and you feel your heart sinking looking down at about 300 metre drop (or worse)... Well, any length over 50m drop is pretty much deadly by my reckoning.

Thank you for the pleasure! A wonderful film, every moment is filled with beauty.

[adelille]

Merci pour ce moment d'évasion. Le choix des cadrages, le rythme des prises et du montage sont remarquables. Bravo

[julietanguay]

Je n’ai pas de mot pour dire à quel point c’est beau … Merci de nous faire voyager à travers ces images … Merci …

[rayan]

Pour moi, c'est un vrai chef-d'œuvre ce minidocumentaire, pas un mot mais tellement d'émotions transmisse, j'ai eu l'impression de voyager avec vous

[AmberGDhert]

This was an amazing video I can't even put it into words! I love that you took you malinois with you, it's so adorable how he's a bit unsure of bridges and crossings but then always chooses to follow along. So beautiful to watch.

[michaelatrykarova]

This has to be one of the best balanced Mals I have seen in a while. What a joy to be able to bring him along. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Can't wait to do it on my own one day.

[cortolondon]

J'ai eu l'occasion d'en voir, des vidéos de balades, de randonnées, d'escapades, de traversées, d'ascensions. Celle-ci est vraiment belle. Vraiment. Sans un mot.

[BlahFubar]

Loved your video suffering from terminal bone cancer just too loose myself in a video; A man and his dog love it.

[ceciledulaurent]

Très belle vidéo. Le choix du cheminement en silence, sans parole, seulement porté par une délicate musique, renforce la beauté du paysage et nous plonge dans un état contemplatif et méditatif. Bravo!

[patrickechers]

That night shot at 04:00 is insane. So beautiful!

[HatPeasyCat]

i cant believe i watched a 30min video of a guy and his dog walking lol. I LOVE how easy you make it seem and with the subtle music combined with the sounds of nature/footsteps makes it so peacefull to watch ;p
