    This is episode two of a four-part series covering my first year of full-time camping in 2021. Episode one covered the backstory of how that became possible. In this episode, I cover the behind the scenes of filming and editing full-time. There are chapters in the playback bar as usual if you want to pick and choose parts.
    Episodes 3 and 4 (for fall and winter) will be released throughout the year and they’ll cover the behind the scenes of what it takes to be able to be able to do this full-time including:
    -the youtube and finances side of things for fall
    -a variety of frequently asked questions we get in the comments for the final episode
    I quit my job for a year of wilderness camping - summer

    Well done. The behind-the-scenes sections are really.interesting. And I love hearing about your and Erin's stories and what you are thinking about. Thank you for the engagement and wedding videos. That is so generous of you both. People are always the most interesting parts of YT videos. When you let us into the secret proposal plan or your long term aspirations to catch salmon, us viewers are cheering you on. So emotional. I like your sharing insights on sustainability, park management, wildlife management, etc. I don't need camping tutorials, but I enjoy seeing a cleverly tightened tarp. I like the Amok features. Ideas on making cooking easier, tastier, cheaper, faster, safer are always welcome.

    Fantastic summary of your YT career, Jon. I truly admire your dedication and passion for filmmaking. This is by far the best video you've ever made. Love the part about the camera equipment, the editing prosess, and all of the other phases you go through as a content creator. Keep it up, and keep evolving :) Cheers from Norway

  • @PackerManForLife
    @PackerManForLife 6 днів тому +23

    I found myself astonished when you described your difficulty in keeping a fish upon catching it. Astonished because how exactly similar your mindset is to mine in that scenario. Looking at a helpless and beautiful fish, thinking "I have other food, why should i take this life?"
    The world needs more people like you, my friend. Your respect for nature is a characteristic that every person should have.

      I think the same way and for a long time I thought that Jon should just leave them alone if he doesn't want to eat one! But he just shows his dedication to conservation with the way he handles them or rather, tries not to stress them any more than he has to.

    Just finished this one! Wow man, amazing stuff. You are definitely far from a “hack” lol. Loved seeing the trips again like this. The information you provided in the intermissions was so invaluable and well said. If storytelling is high on your priorities list, than you’ve absolutely nailed it. Amazing what a one-man crew can actually do. Looking forward to part 3 as well as your 2024 trips! Ps: the engagement scene always gets me. Again, nice work. Cheers buddy 🍻

    I've been a subscriber for quite a long time. This fresh perspective of what we have seen before, what is new, and how it all works is a breath of fresh air. We see your abilities evolve before our eyes and grow to appreciate the work required to make it look like it is no work at all. With reference to Erich, yes we will close our eyes and find ourselves in a new place. And it is wonderful, not because it is unexpected, but because we know we cannot do everything in one life and it is great to find companions who stretch our limits and share our sense of adventure and beauty. I only wish we were in a position to do the same for you and Erin. Please accept this "like" as one of the hundreds before and know that each one is sincerely sent.

    Canada is so vast, one person could explore it their whole life and prob still have areas that they hadn’t seen. I love how it’s mostly wilderness still and not overpopulated like here in the states 😟 it’s sad, cites and suburbs everywhere. Our parks are the only wilderness left and so now tons of people are forced to flock to them so they are even crowded 😢

That thought-ok, and a Snickers bar-helped me keep going! Thanks for your wonderful and inspiring work.

    I absolutely love what you are doing and cannot tell you how refreshing and wonderful it is to watch your journey. I think you have all the right mindsets and direction to make a huge positive impact on the industry and world.

It may be boring to you but for a lot of us seniors, who just can’t get out there like we used to, it refreshes our memories of past adventures. With video it is almost like being there. Loved the clip with Xander. Thanks for your tireless work.
