Good YouTube bushwalking channels ?
Posted: Fri 08 Feb, 2019 11:51 pmHi there,
Weirdly enough, there aren't many (good) bushwalking/hiking channels out there. I'm now getting serious about nature photography, and I feel like I can more easily find landscape photography channels (people showing their craft in wild places) than hiking channels. Recently I found a little gem I thought sharing with you, a channel called "My Own Frontier" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2u9cX ... dJr6Ha0aqg , a bloke hiking all over the US, and delivery quality footage and info. His only quirk that makes me irk : he keeps calling a valley a "drainage" for some reason. But otherwise he does some pretty serious stuff, always 5-12 days, doesn't have to be a national park, he can be alone or with friends, doesn't care much about the elements and does it on quite a tight budget. He visits Utah, California, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming... I know some of you love armchair traveling, well this one is pretty great, there are some insane landscapes and he often looks for solitude, which gives him some nice opportunities for wildlife viewing. He films with a DSLR camera, that he recharges with solar panels attached to his backpack.
The last video I checked, on the Wind River range of Wyoming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTKMWi5AyKY , saw him hiking for 9 days with maybe one day of sunny weather, the rest was snow, storms, rain or strong winds. And he and his friends finished the last 3 days on 3000 calories (1000 per day), always staying positive. It's funny to hear him say he hates most of his gear, and goes out for the adventure, finding a route to bypass hurdles thrown at him by the elements or the landscape. He shoots a lot of b-roll footage, just to show a cohesive story, it's a lot of work, and everyday he shows his progress on the map, his plan etc... Do you know something similar to this for Australia ? This one looks promising : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTqNd ... 8GP23S3e7Q but that's all I could find.
