[7 minute video] Why We Crave Adventure Even When it Means Pain and Hardship: a Story About Summiting a Mountain
I was climbing a mountain, muscles aching, sucking in air and never getting enough. Why am I doing this, I wondered. This isn't fun. What's the point?
A few days ago I wrote a story about climbing Southeast Asia's highest volcano, and told it as a sort of essay exploring these questions. I decided I wanted to take it further so I modified that piece into a script and dug up my old footage from the trek to make this video.
I felt I really needed to say everything I say in the video, but if you think it's too long I'd really appreciate your feedback. I'm trying to go beyond just cutting beautiful scenery and drone shots to cool music, and start telling richer stories, but I'm just starting out.
Shot on GoPro 3 and 4, iPhone 5 and 6, and a few shots on a cheap DSLR. Edited in Final Cut X
You wonder why you do it, then promise not to do it again then you do it again after a few weeks. And the cycle goes on and on. I thought that I would stop watching your video after 2 minutes but I finished it until the end. Great job, I enjoyed watching it.
Yeah that sounds pretty familiar. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and especially for your feedback. It is much appreciated

Congrats on the summit man. There's no adventure without a little hardship
Thanks, totally agree. If I wanted a walk in the park I'd go for one
Yeah - Exactly....We all have the option to live a "Choose your Adventure" type of life. And let us choose as we feel fit :)
Best video you've made - nice one.
