WOW you had a stunning experience! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful and wicked moments in this great video :)
I am glad that you came home safe,
travelling all alone.
But you know, you were not,
because we all were thinking of you!
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Danke, und ja du hast recht!
Attila SZÁSZ 3 months ago

One can see Iceland has marked you profoundly as well. And you put it through imagery and sound in an exceptional manner.
Particularly liked the 4-split frames: the parallelism in time makes me think of timelessness in Iceland.
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Thanks Attila!

Sweet! Thank you!
Giuseppe Franco 3 months ago

Do you have an aproximative map of your trip across the country? And how long did it take you?
Tarek El-Ghazaly 3 months ago

Ok so that was some EPIC DANCING at the end! I'm curious though, what were you afraid of? Getting lost? Didn't you carry a GPS around like the other travelers you met at the end of the clip? Also, I couldn't hear what you said when "When you spend time alone, ........."? But that was one outstanding video account! Extremely, super fortunate person. Last questions: How long did it last, and how did you eat? What did you do with your garbage?
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Merci! And yes, had a GPS with me, anything else would be stupid. I said "you can get fed up with yourself a bit...honestly", had enough of myself at that point!

-It was 25 days.
-Didn't eat enough! Was constantly hungry, lost about 4kg. No fun. Couldn't stop eating after coming back for weeks..
-Carry it around till you find a garbage bin. And there are not to many out there! :-)
Klara Harden 3 months ago

and GPS: It doesn't help to know where you are when you still can't get out of there! : )
Tarek El-Ghazaly 3 months ago

Well, I'm used to being spoiled by a GPS+map+clearly-demarkated-streets-built-by-humans :)

How was the temperature like? Your clothing seems to range between swimsuits and heavy, full-body and face mountain clothing (while walking on flat surfaces)... were the weather changes that drastic? Did you feel you were catching a cold during the hike?

PS - I'm amazed by the fact that even in the middle of nowhere out there, they have a few garbage bins, and probably even employees who come to collect this garbage, and maybe recycle it.
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Yes, drastic weather changes! The wind was pretty impressive! And you don't get a cold from being cold usually : )
And no, I was being a bit sarcastic! Only sometimes you will pass a hut, where you are allowed to leave your garbage. But that is quite rare as well.
Tarek El-Ghazaly 3 months ago

Hmm. Well this might be a bit of a stretch, but maybe next spring you can do a "MADE IN CANADA" video? I'm sure you'll find British Columbia breathtaking, unless you have something else planned for your next hikes...
Muaaz Mohamad Nor 3 months ago

I know exactly what you mean with the gps. It wont get you out. Ober hammer affen geil maedel :)

Uraninum 3 months ago

You must be a great fan of "Into the Wild".
I love your trip (and you too).
I imagine a trip really close to yours, that I promise me to do once. I hope it'll be as great as yours.
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Oh, I read the book but I cant agree with the ideas of the young man. Or let's say, I had a completely different reason to do this trip. And yes, you should just do it! I'm sure it will be a great trip : )
Uraninum 3 months ago

So, what was your reason ? having fun or more ?
For me, that will be to wide my perspective on the world, to experience nature and obviously for fun too :)
Roman Kur 3 months ago

Beautiful film... Did you edit the video footage yourself? What software did you use? I don't understand why you were scared, was the loose rock sliding you down into the canyon?
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Premiere Pro it was, and me it was. And, yes you got it! All moving! Was locked in that valley till a found a sheep bath after some climbing...Couldn't use the camera on the very dodgy bits, and also didn't want to, but was up that mountain for 7hours...and it was my all my fault!
Trixie Barretto 3 months ago

simply amazing, loved it!
go girl!
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Thanks Trixie
Nick Kennedy 3 months ago

everything about this is so perfect! the scenery, the editing, the music (OH LORDY THE MUSIC). I absolutely adored it, and i love the great personality you lend to it with your small personal segments.

Just wonderful, wonderful work. You've made me want to undertake one of these trips when im older.

So that leads me to my question, did this take a lot of planning? self preparation? Is this something you usually do?

Thanks a lot, and again, great work.
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Thanks a lot Nick!
I did spend a month on researching and getting the equipment together. I have never done anything like that before. I was quite a "wildfang" as a young kid, but forgot how much I liked the wild outdoors for a long time. I just had the urge to do a solo-adventure and then started!
It's all about that first step in the end.
Jonathan Waiter 3 months ago

Gorgeous, but why dont you credit the music ? Kind of unfair to the musicians and everyone who wishes to know who they are.
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Hi Jonathan, haven't had the time yet but, I will do so in the next minutes. I don't want to be unfair to anyone : ) Especially not to my favourite musicians ; )
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Done! so now it's your turn : )

Amazing video! Inspiring and awesome! Excellent photos as well! (loved the dance at the end!)
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Thanks a lot. It was fun dancing somewhere in nowhere : )
Dieuwer Feldbrugge 3 months ago

Great stuff! I've been to Iceland myself and loved every bit of it. I love your editing style. What kind of a lense did you use for the macro shots though? You came well prepared it seems!
Klara Harden 3 months ago

it's a AF Nikorr 35mm mounted to the 550D with an adapter ring...
kristen bacon 3 months ago

This is absolutely beautiful. I put this video on my hiking blog... it has a little over 10,000 followers so I hope you get some hits from it. Everyone should see this. Great work.

Glad that you like it! And yess, go for it!
kevin m 3 months ago

Wow this was great. Loved it. Would you mind sharing the equipment you used? What camera and external mic? What tripod? I'm impressed by how stable some of your shots were.
Klara Harden 3 months ago

It's a Canon 550D, a Nikorr 35mm and some more. Had ZOOm with me, but hardly used it and a Manfrotto carbon tripod that a borrowed from a helpful friend...and still was incredibly heavy!!! It was a love-hate relationship!
kevin m 3 months ago

The colors you captured were also really great. Did you use a lot of filters? Post-processing?

And finally one more question (sorry! :) ). You overlayed some really clean sounds, like water trickling, over some of your shots. Did you use the 550D's internal mic for those?

Again, really well done. I'm really intrigued by the whole mood you captured throughout. You did a really nice job.
Klara Harden 3 months ago

I only used an ND filter during the day for close-ups to adjust the depth of field and spend some time on the postpro as well. Sound, man, I still need to learn but for now it's a mixture between internal mic, a ZOOM and other samples. The wind was a real pain though, so I couldn't use half of my sound-footage...but at least you get red cheeks : )
Pixel y Dixel 3 months ago

WOW WOW WOW Do you Only use a 550 D for all the footage? A M A Z I N G J O B
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Merci and yes only had a 550D with me, and ai "she" is small but but she does her job...
Mario T. 3 months ago

Absolutely impressive!!! Beautyfull pictures!
Reminded me a bit of my New Zealand trip and reminded me even more of "Into the wild".
Never forget: "Happynes's only real when shared"
But I know.... somtimes you need to travel alone!

Great video. Gee I wish I had met you on a trail, if you need a camera man next time, let me know.
If you were a man, you would have big balls for doing what you have done, magic.
Well done!
Pete Johnston 3 months ago

First I will say.... ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! I'm in love....

Now, a quick question...
Batteries?.... how did you charge them?
Klara Harden 3 months ago

Had a lot of them with me and made a stop to recharge them as well.

I want to hug you!
Klara Harden 3 months ago

oh that's nice!
hugsforhikers 3 months ago

Was that a VAUDE Hogan Ultralight Argon in the video? If yes, can you recommend it? :)

PS. Hug a hiker whenever you can! ;)
Klara Harden 3 months ago

indeed the Hogan took good care of me! Yes, I think it's a great tent...and anything more lightweight would have been muuuch more expensive.

PS. I will!
Giuseppe Franco 3 months ago

Hugsforhikers: I have the same tent (in green) and it's perfect for Iceland and to travel alone. I did 2 month in my tent without any problem. I had 2 consecutive days with strong wind that pushed my tent almost on the ground and changing side every 3 second and nothing broke (that was on faroe islands).

1.5kg is not that much and you have to layers so no condensation inside and realy waterproof even in strong rain.

So I recomend it as well
