Here's my time saving tip, I draw numbers on my batteries and cards, so I can tell them apart. For example if Battery #2 is in the Camera and getting low I go directly to battery #3 without guessing which one is charged.

Excellent video. I do not have near the budget so everything I am doing will be with my phone to start. This gives me great ideas and goals to shoot for.

This is literally a paid course online. Thanks so much for making it free on YouTube.

I really hope you hit 1M subs this year!

I was always concerned about getting a cool shot, but a cool shot is nothing if there’s not a story lined up with it. I’m trying to think of new creative ways to be a better story teller through videos, thanks for the great video!

[aussieadventurenerd]

Some of my favorite adventure videos are the ones where you can tell they don’t care about the camera angles and the different shots. The best ones are the ones where you can tell the subject is just in the moment and being real with what is happening. Some of my favorites have been filmed completely on a GoPro with small attentions to camera shots

Jeven, you are AWESOME and an inspiration. I recently started by youtube channel with my first video of a recent trip in my JL crawling and having fun with new and old friends at a park in TN called AOP (Adventure offroad park). I still have a long way to go, but having someone like you to inspire and teach is such a blessing. I would love to attend one of your clinics. Keep the content coming brother. God Bless You Brother.
