Cheers guys! I hope this is useful to some of you who are thinking of getting into hiking or outdoor filmmaking! Feel free to leave me any questions bellow and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can🥳 Cheers! Dave 👊
My top tip for people wanting to get into hiking but wary about having to spend too much money is just to get started and give it a go. The things that you *need* are boots/trainers that are comfortable and don't give you blisters, and a waterproof coat that keeps the wet on the outside. Pretty much everything else _helps_ but isn't essential, it might make the walk more comfortable or enjoyable but you can usually cope with a cheapo option if you need to. So just see how you go, build yourself up slowly, and work out what _your_ red lines are, which bits of your kit you want to upgrade first, because different people will prioritise different things.
A great video David. Totally agree that kit doesn’t have to always be expensive but investing in the right kit for the the right jobs (waterproofs) is important. Great editing and music choice. I’ve recommended your channel and looking forward to seeing it grow. All the best with your adventures.
Thanks Rooster!! I'm glad you enjoyed it mate, thanks for recommending it pal I really appreciate that😁 Yes mate its going to be a fun year ahead! I'm off to climb Mont Blanc Next week and am filming two more hikes out there! Should be great fun. Thanks again! Dave
I like it!!!! Would you be ok with not using ND filters and instead altering Fstop and shutter to expose properly. I’ve been ignoring the shutter rule of double the frame rate and keeping my FStop between 3.5-8 and it seems to work well.
Could you actually do a tutorial video on how to use the all trail app and how it works whilst walking I'm really keen to get out walk8ng but I'm running out of local trails
David, do you need an adapter for the microphone or can you plug it directely in the camera? Does it switch automatically to the external audio source and does the synchronisation fit in hindsight of the pictures? With rarely a clue in the area of viedeography, these are the immediate questions that come in my mind. Thank you for sharing the experience with your equipement! I appreciate having introduced hiking gears I did not know and which may have the potential improve my standard so far.
Really interesting video. I feel sometimes there's too much snobbery in hiking gear and beginners feel preasured into buying kit they can't afford. My go to hiking t shirts are cheap primark ones (eek not good)
I agree! Which is why I wanted to book mark where I started, I think people should spend money on something only when they can see proof that they’re committed to it and do truely enjoy it for an extended period of time! Otherwise it’s easy to get your house clogged up with expensive gear from loss of random different hobbies that barely gets touched!
My small rucksack was in fact virtually empty, and I could have managed quite well without it. I incline to the view, never before expressed, that a rucksack is not at all necessary on a walking tour. How some can enjoy themselves beneath the weight of their huge, fifty-pound burdens completely passes my comprehension. I have had expeditions in the Lake District without a pack, and gone short of nothing. I take a light raincoat or a cape, always; but never a change of clothes, nor an extra shirt, nor pyjamas. The clothes I wear when I set off must suffice: if they get wet, it is unfortunate for walking in wet raiment is unpleasant, but they have never failed to get dry afterwards. Pyjamas are, of course, a nuisance at all times and have no saving grace. A pair of slippers is a comfort, and additional socks are essential, but these will slip easily into a pocket.

Underwear? Socks and Shreddies? Junk wise and chaffing? I notice no Trekking Poles, would they not help the knees? Camping you would save weight using a Trekking pole but the Tents are very UL these days. I'm an armchair hiking just starting out so the questions may seem strange but they will help me. Thank you. Addendum, one pair of socks or 2? As a Nurse the only addition I would add to the First Aid Kit would be Super Glue or a cheap brand. That special glue they use in Hospitals? Yeah, Super Glue but they call it Tissue Adhesive. Trust me, Nurse of 25 years.😉👍

Sawyer filter at all? What about Tics? Do you have a Tic remover tool or spray in DEET? I know North Wales is bad for them and Lyme Disease sucks.
Great to see all your gear, the drone shots are always amazing.
Thanks Andrew!!🥳 It was good fun breaking them down!!

So well summarised my friend, I couldn’t agree more!👏🎉
Is it true that waterproofs get wet on the inside or an old wives tale? Water proofs for bag pack? Water filter? Sawyer?

@@DavidPMcEntee Enjoy that! I'm sure it will be brilliant!
Looking to start making some proper videos so this was very helpful thanks 👍
Good insight and I've enjoyed watching a few of your videos this weekend since I saw Al (Bushman & Blue) point you out. Have subscribed
Thanks Andrew I appreciate that mate, I’m glad you found me! 👊👊👊
Nice breakdown of the kit. You have a wonderful upcoming weekend. Stay Safe, and looking forward to seeing you again soon.

I do that sometimes! Buuut I also do prefer that filmic look! So often use the ND to stick to the film rules! 😁🥳
Subscribed.
Hope to see many more videos on your channel.
Coming back soon amigo 💪💪

Microphone plugs straight into camera!😁It syncs up with the audio yes! I’m glad you enjoyed it mate 🥳

Hiking poles aren't for everyone - I have just never really felt the need for them.
