Off the Grid: Backcountry Camping in Alberta

No campsite curfews, no rules, no fees. Simple and genuine freedom.

My wife Mary and I headed off for a weekend long adventure in the Canadian Rockies in Western Alberta where we met some rad new adventure friends. This was crown land. Had to turn off the highway and drive along some wild trails to get to the riverbanks where we set up camp for two nights. We had two hunters nearby spot a grizzly bear crossing the little stream right across our campsite on one of the nights. The crackle of the fire, the laughs, the whole hearted conversations, the stars, the mediocre hotdogs and the towering mountains all around us made us feel alive. Truly alive.

Video wise, this was my first time playing around with my new Canon R6 and I must say, I am blown away by the quality. Love the mirrorless life. The aerial shots are from my DJI Mavic Air 2. Played around with different frame rates and learned how to interpolate footage to edit everything on a 24 fps timeline in Adobe Premiere Pro. Definitely need some more schooling on colour grading but I'm pretty stoked with the results.

Thanks for watching and I hope this inspires you to seek your own adventure. It's out there. Get good and lost.
