I suggest treating your coat if it's a goretex type material with Revive-X. It's gonna make water pearl on it and the coat won't be soaked. And thx for the tips.
I attach an umblella to the tripod via a clamp (or hand hold). Now, after seeing the heavy pour in the video, I am thinking of covering the umblella with a poncho. : )
Poncho, great idea! I had footage of using an umbrella that I was going to add but the focus was off and a few other things so I left it out but an umbrella is a very good tool to use! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you liked the video! Yeah, the bags are great. I only use the Think Tank for the times I am hunkered down for the whole day or multiple days in the field.
Thanks for making this interesting and relevant video, under what looked like some very difficult conditions. You have proved as many before, that we must suffer for our art.
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's true, sometimes creating content involves overcoming challenges, but the passion for the art makes it all worthwhile. 🙂
Great video, as usual! Nice to make an appearance in it! I've been recently getting better at finding owls. I know I have a barred living in my area, and I've recently heard what I think is a great horned in my neighbourhood but I have yet to find it. Do you most often look for owls midday or at dawn/dusk when they're most active?
Thank you Laura! I find it's best to find owls at dusk. typically they are waking up an more active and the birds in the evening put out a warning call when they see them moving around. Usually a robin that gives them away for me. Barred owls like old growth woods and it is a bonus if there is a creek running nearby. I've seem them wash in the creek, hunt cray fish and rats in and next to the creek as well as other birds taking a drink. I hope that helps!
I just cut a hole in a garbage bag and attach it to both the lens hood and the Z8 Body with rubber bands. 🤷♂ Certainly more flimsy, but basically costs nothing and works flawlessly.
That's a clever and resourceful DIY solution! Sometimes simplicity is the key, and it's great that you found an effective way to protect your gear without breaking the bank!
That is my f-stop bag, here is the link to check them out: fstopgear.com/?rfsn=4840768.962e57 Best camera bag IMO. pricy but worth it. I have a few of their bags and the orange one in the video is a 70L bag with PRO ICU kit inside.

Great reminder! Thank you very much. This week I have it in my schedule to coat my jacket 🙂!
@@MattShannonPhoto second reminder to do it if you haven't yet. You should also wash that jacket.
Excellent demonstration of the gear! Great shots of that very cooperative owl.
Many thanks! Yeah, I was stoked to have found the barred owl during the one snowfall we had here on Vancouver Island. Thanks for watching
