    Fresh Gear Videos!

    Took a little time Friday to get out and shoot a couple videos that I have had on the list for a while.


    Fist up is a video on the Diner Bivy Cozy. This is one of those items that lives in my pack.

    The second video I got done is a revised set up video for the BBO Top Cover for the Black Bird. The BBO was one of the first items that we started making just after we started AHE in 09. We make and send out a ton of them every year and I figured it was time to do a little better and more in-depth video showing the set up and a few tips to use it to the maximum.

    Hope that they help.

    I plan to try and get more demo and set up videos shot this year so if you're looking for any thing specifically on our gear let me now and I will try and add it to the list.

    Would love to hear any questions and comments.

    Nice job Paul. Short little videos like this really do help you get the most from a piece of equipment.
    I sure wish there were more of them when I was starting out they can really help you do it right the first time and save you money in the long run.

    Thanks for doing the videos Paul. Nice to see how the BBO goes on

    It was good to meet you Paul. Let me know next time you are in the area and I will try to get more than just a few minutes off and maybe get a line in the water with you.

    Thanks again,
    Ken

    Thanks for the comments guys. The feedback is appreciated. I am planning to try and get a new video demo up every few weeks to month this year. Fingers Crossed. I have a lot of gear on the list to do videos for...trouble is when I do get a chance to get out I want to play, fish and relax and most of the time forget to "work" on shooting a video.


    Ken, it was great to take some time and chat with you for a while. Glad I could help out and let you try a hammock for a few minutes. I'll holler next time I get down that way.
