part #2 -- another great 10 minutes!

Stormcrow---you shoulda gone after some fried ticks, man. Crunchy.

Shug, you tried the bridge hammock...the hook is set, we can try and reel you in slowly now, just think about all the new DIY stuff you can get into tailored for the bridge design.... <grin>

goes without saying, wish I had been there

If you like to eat bugs, you'll always have plenty to eat I guess...

Have you priced Escargot in a fine restaurant lately? It is nothing more than shell bearing slugs drenched in garlic butter. Sounds like outdoor meals meet haute cuisine...

You did surprisingly well on audio for a group of people and some speaking
well out of frame. I am really surprised by that. I also don't know how
you managed to clean up the video so well for youtube. It looks **** good!!
I cry every time I upload a video and watch the superb quality i edited with go to absolute crap when I format for youtube.
Wish I had been able to make the hang out. I will make one yet.

Yeah Turk ... it will become the "classic" opening shot . Obvious take.
The audio just worked out ... I try to speak a bit quieter while holding the camera ... and I do talk a lot. Uncomfortable with silence.

I went back to using an old Sony camera and I like it because it uses AA batteries. Surprisingly good quality. I upload at 480x360 and it seems the best to me.
Thanks for taking the time to notice edits .... as I usually just film me I had no idea how a group shoot would work but I just intended to make it my POV on the trip with all my usual banter and palaver. Stormcrow is a brilliant camera assistant, on camera personality and Vanna White.

It has been so much fun editing and reliving these moments. My brain and hard drives are so full of joy and wonder.

Stormcrow needs to be renamed Sluggo if you ask me.

All we needed was some livermush. It seems to be just me and you who crave the porkish delight!

You got it MrGreen ... you ended up being one of my most used "on-camera" talents. I like how you look into the lens and tell your tale!
What a time....... sigh.....

Great to see hammockers out having fun. Shug, you are one entertaining person. You could have been in showbiz or something. But then we would have missed out on all of this!
