    Smile Video: Ridgeline Ramble

    Hey everybody

    I went on a hike with two of my friends a few weeks back. It was awesome! . . . as always!

    Mapkin and I had our hammocks. Both reported fiddle factor. Odd because we're both semi-experienced.
    No matter, just an excuse for more research & development!

    Anyways, I've been super busy since but have finally had a chance to post a video. I think this one came out nice. I hope you enjoy it.

    Ps. I have to credit the king, Bill Monroe for the audio track. (I'm not worthy)

    Optimus, that video is prime. Yeah, I had to go there. Great techniques with the editing. I just got Final Cut Pro and am hoping to put it to good use with new hammock gear on the way. Thanks again for sharing that excellent vid.
