    I’ve used Macs and PC’s both for more than 20 years. Macs are easier to get up to speed on but they are much different than PC’s. Eventually you will love your Mac’s performance and you will love Final Cut Pro…after the learning curve. Don’t give up! You’ll be glad you did. Great video as usual Slim. Thanks!

    Stunning scenery Slim. Can almost smell the fresh air. Love the insects and that cool rock hole waterfall. Nice to see your kayak getting used. Couldn't help but admire all the work you put in backtracking to get such fabulous trail and boat shots. Your efforts are appreciated. Years since I've seen any Canada Geese, especially given I live in Australia. Looks like a fabulous spot for birding! Ah those spring storms. I would never switch to a Mac from my trusty PC. Your videos were professional anyway. Thanks for a real treat of a video, so much variation of content! The Australian term for a "vault toilet" is a drop dunny by the way. Yep, we all speak English!😁

    Congrats on trying out some new tech! I've used all three of the main operating systems for desktops today, Windows, Mac OS and Linux. People tell me how easy Mac OS is, or how easy Windows are, and how hard Linux is. All I can say is that if you have never used a particular operating system, it is always going to be hard. Over my 40 years in IT, I have learned and become a "power user" or "expert" in over 20 computer operating systems. Coming into one, cold, is always a challenge. Personally, I am currently using Linux, as I agree with it's FOSS, that is Free Open Source Software philosophy, and it many times more stable that Windows. I do keep a copy of Windows on my machines so that I can play games, but that is becoming less needful, and I do have an old iMac around when I want to fiddle with Mac OS. Have fun!

    @slimpotatohead Hi Slim. Another awesome video, thanks for going the extra mile. The resulting video is always gorgeous and makes me feel like I'm right out there with you. Wanted to give you a hint about the tostitos pizzas. My family and I are long time campers and that is often our first night dinner. This is how we make our campfire pizzas. We buy them on route so they are defrosted by the time we get to our campsite, then we fold them in half like a taco, then wrap them in a few layers of good aluminum foil and seal the edges. Then we roast the foil covered pizza packets over hot coals, flipping often. I think you could do the same on your cast iron pan, just make sure you're flipping it often. They come out Yummy and we look forward to them as our first night camp meal. Would love to see you give this a try! Happy trails and safe travels.

    I feel your pain, Slim. I used PowerDirector for years, have worked with DOS/Windows for most of my life, then ~4 years ago I bought an iMac & MacBook. Learning the OS wasn't too difficult but Final Cut Pro was a heavy lift. Now that I use it all the time, though, I'm so happy that I switched & all the PC hardware sits gathering dust. There are several plug-ins available (or, if you bought Motion, you can make your own) that you may find helpful 🙂.
    If you're having an issue with the drive on your MacBook you can bring it to an Apple store and they'll help you out. If you feel comfortable with doing your own repairs you can also do a reinstall of the OS using a USB drive. I used to use Time Machine for doing backups but switched to using the backup software made by Acronis.
    I also do a lot of editing from our camper when we're on the road and found it helpful to get an Office 365 account (which provides 1 TB of OneDrive storage) and a 4 TB SSD drive for doing backups. At home I have a NAS server that is set up to sync with my OneDrive account; when I finish a project I'll upload it to my OneDrive account, which then syncs with the NAS server to provide an extra backup. You can also use a cloud provider like BackBlaze to provide offline storage...but I'm an IT geek who already has a NAS setup for all my other work, so this worked best for my needs 🙂.
    Happy Travels, Slim, and keep making those great videos, you are an inspiration!
