So first, this week, we did a few nights in the back yard just getting the tent cleaned up. It was still full of sand and covered in tree droppings from Colorado last year. Ick. The star viewing was amazing but I got ZERO freaking footage/shots of it.. technical issues which wont happen again.
Ok so my wife is sick on mothers day, which left me with more time than I should have today to tinker...
I painted the bolt heads and washers on the front of my wind fairing.. they were just silver/steel so I paint matched them.
Next, i re-mounted my fire extinguisher in a more easily accessed place. 1 second to retrieve. I also found that my huge mountain medical kit with some extras I added, fits in a spot on the window/cargo barrier area. Also quick to grab and you can see "MEDICAL KIT" a bit through the tint on the outside. You can see I have my front runner stainless table sitting in the back and the tent pole bag on the other side of the barrier with a super quick fist to secure it.
So, next weekend the eastern Iowa crew (3 of us at least) are going camping at Maquoketa Caves state park. So, i figured I should cover that with some footage and get my gear together. Question for @Michael ... If I were to try and do a decent job of covering and editing some video of the trip, would it be ok to post something to youtube related to overland bound? What is the preferred branding for that? "OB community" or something? with some obvious mentions and links to the main channel? I'd like to start doing more youtube and video work in general. If you have some kind of template for the intro or something people could reuse things and have some consistent branding?
I was wondering about doing my own packing/unpack videos (like your out of town in 20 minutes) and my own rig walk around video. We could possibly do a small group version with the 3 of us at camp.
(gathered up some gear, charged batts, got a gopro hero4 ready for the trip, the big lens is my Nikkor 70-200 F2.8 VRII )
