  1. Hey Kraig, another really enjoyable video.

    Just wanted to offer some constructive feedback. As a long time viewer, I’ve come to really appreciate your style of cinematography.

    I do feel that something is lost using the iPhone. In the harsh daylight, the highlights are quite blown out which detracts somewhat from the overall viewing experience.

    I appreciate that having a lighter set up is much more convenient, but I do think that the videos lose a bit of what made them special.

    Coming from a place of support. Peace ✌️

  2. Amazing video, maybe the best you've ever done. That said, I almost didn't make it the whole way through with the ads literally every 5 minutes. I'm enjoying a fantastic scene of the snow-capped Himalayas and the relaxing sound of a river in the distance, and bam, "HOLIDAY SHOPPING DEALS AT KOHLS, THIS WEEKEND ONLY!!!!!" being yelled into my TV. It completely kills the vibe.

  3. Hey, great video, thanks a lot. Very inspiring! Towards the end you mention your linktree with your gear list but I‘m unable to find it. Any pointers?

  4. No one on Youtube understands focal length as you do, this felt like a National Geographic special, great job.

  5. The bar you set with your videos is as high as the mountain range in this video….Absolutely incredible.

  6. I rarely comment on anything on Youtube but this makes me so homesick. Having lived in Nepal for 7 months makes it my second home and I sometimes really miss it. Also seeing my dogfriend (34:17), who I have met in March 2022 during this trek almost makes me cry. Thank you for this Kraig <3

  7. You bring that Trekking-and-Hiking-Filming to that next Level I was waiting for. Thanks and Congratulations Bro 🙂

  8. I observed that each homestay resting place have electric bulbs. Do these spots connected via some power grid ?

  9. Wow another Nepal content! Can't get enough of their mountains.

    By the way, is there an update regarding the reality show you were part of hiking to the Everest Base Camp?

  10. I hiked this glorious trail in 2018 and the introduction of this video took me straight back to this wonderful trip, thank you Kraig!
