I am back with this test video featuring the Amazing Wilderness Camp Chair, the World Famous Cook Kit and the Amazing Wilderness Shelter. A new microphone on a new camera shot a video that I have edited on new software running on a new operating system. If you are reading this then I must have been successful at getting it all to work.
I have been lost for a few years now. I lost my interest in upgrading camera equipment, computer equipment and editing software because my computer operating system updated or YouTube changed something. The fate of my channel was uncertain as I battled with multiple software and hardware issue trying to upgrade everything one more time. I have completed no less than 4 complete equipment and software upgrades since the Econo Challenge YouTube channel was created in 2007. Each one requiring more processor speed, better camera resolution and always a media change. I have gone from High 8 tape to DV tape to memory cards. None of it is backwards compatible, supported or built to last. Lost files, corrupt sectors or defective memory replace wrinkled tape and dirty play heads.
Then you have the extra support equipment needed to continue shooting for days without access to modern infrastructure. Solar panels need to connect to battery banks so they can charge camera and microphone batteries. Don’t forget the cables and connectors that go with it all. Over time I have slowly created a complicated system to capture and bring back images and video from the wilderness. I realized I was no longer enjoying the creative process. I was dreading it.
Hopefully, this trend turns around.
You will enjoy this video series if you hike, backpack, trek, paddle, kayak, climb, pedal, wilderness camp, or love it all!
