I’ve been feeling ill for more than 4 months now. Hiking in the mountains no matter how much my brain does not want to do it helps my body recover and the rush of pure oxygen to the bloodstream and brain cells really helps me get through the day.
These videos were made over a series of hikes I did in the winter of 2022/23 in the mountains of Montseny Nature Park where we have been living in an off grid house in a remote location inside the park.
I’m still doing these hikes almost every morning.

I’m still battling the effects of a long illness by hiking and camping at our place in the woods just north of Barcelona. This is a beautiful area isolated high in the mountains far from any towns or people. We live off grid in our tiny group of houses and I spend a lot of time in the forest. Just being in nature seems to relieve many of the symptoms of Long COVID although everyday is still a struggle to keep going. Thanks for taking the time to watch… stay healthy, stay active and do what you can to protect our natural environment.
I’ve used some great royalty free music in this video from some extremely talented composers.
Here’s a track list….

I spent the night out in the field in the hot tent so I could get an early start up the mountain to film the predicted snowstorm.
I was not disappointed. The blizzard hit just as I was making my way to the fields at Villanova. I was able to fly the drone during breaks in the snowstorm. This was my first major hike since by battle with long Covid began two months ago. I felt pretty good during the hike and the whole snowy adventure got my energy up for quite a while but unfortunately I crashed for two days afterwards.
Covid Sucks!
The opening track for the camera gear prep part of the video is cool because of the nature of the editing I got use a genre that is not normally associated with nature and hiking videos, namely ‘trap beat’.

This royalty free music track is called: The Dilemma

The composer is Joel Loopez

The music for the rest of the video is more suited for nature and drone footage with it’s ambient pads and lone piano melody. The great thing about this track is the composer provided an alternate version of the mix the excluded the piano melody which I used at the end of the video to give it an even more ambient effect.

This royalty free track is called: Snowflakes In June

We have been pounded by rain for 20 days straight recently here in the mountains of Catalonia. We’ve been living inside a cloud that is constantly dumping water on us.
I went out on a heavy rain day to do some filming just to see if I could and because I was curious what it was like out there with everything drowning in water.
I like how the music from Denis Kotenko helps give the video the dreamlike quality I was going for.

Here is my latest hiking adventure starting deep in the forest valley near the stream known as La Riera de Truitas (trout stream) and making my way up the mountain known as Turo d’Arenys (Sand Hill).
I’m using my insta360 camera and a drone shot at the end to give a wide angle of the top of the mountain.
I like the comical nature of the music I chose for the warped 360 degree shots…
