Unlike most things in life, I could literally word vomit about backpacking; so this vlog will be a bit of a change, reflecting where i am in life, differing motives and head space required during the trip.

I used only an iPhone 11 on trail (can't afford a drone too) with a tiny 50mm cheap tripod, so apologies - edited with FCPX. About 20 seconds of the video was by others to make a couple of points more relevant, map at the beginning, weighing scales and the log fire scene.

I’ve previously felt that narrating on-the-go was the best way, as post production just felt a little too contrived, doing it live just felt more “real”. There was far too much wind for this to happen, so - see how it goes.
