EDC & Prep

Jay666d · 09-07-2017, 08:51

Now I'm not talking American 'Dooms Day' Preppers or anything, but I do quite like to talk about EDC (Every Day Carry) and Preparation.

I'd imagine everybody who has some form of storage in their vehicle might have a little interest in Prep!

I'm going to do a new line of videos on this subject, starting with the un-boxing of my new wallet I've just had shipped over from the States.

Hope you enjoy.

Haven't watched it all Jay as the sound is too low. If youre intending to make loads of vids, and I hope you are, get yourself a Mic.
I'm off to find my headphones

Not exactly "Ripping Yarns" is it ? lol

Jay666d · 09-07-2017, 09:41

It seems to be a common problem with the GoPro... It creates a lot of background noise.

Because I've tried to cancel it out, it's affected the speech too!

I think a Mic might be a plan!

Blocky10 · 09-07-2017, 10:03

I understand some record voice separately, on a phone or other device, and edit it onto the footage?

Jay666d · 09-07-2017, 10:42

Yeah, I've heard of people doing that...

Also, I think you can plug a mic directly into the GoPro.

I'll have a look into it and try to up the quality of the videos!

I guess it's not everyones cup of tea!

Un-Boxing is a hugely popular subject on YouTube tho!

Clearly not as popular as paint drying tho...

Here's a 10 hour long video with over 160,000 views just for you!

The problem connecting directly to gopro is when you're filming away from the camera. Like your lawn vid where your camera is up high.

Aye, true!

Multi tools are a good one to cover, I have one of these on my truck keys, http://www.gerber-store.co.uk/multi-...tool-green-p78, small enough to have on the keys and comes in handy very often, the pliers are strong and they meet perfectly at the tips so I use then as tweezers too, very handy for pulling thorns out of the boy as I did yesterday

the scissors are superb too

oh yeh, I've put my head phones in

Everyone preps to some extent even if it's just taking a waterproof coat n case it rains.
Depends on the time of year but yeah I carry things such as boots and warm clothing. Currently my job entails driving around so I carry bits of food for lunch if needed and even a small jetboil to make a drink.
Some interesting takes on this subject on youtube. Not sure all the unboxing vids are as much use as a review of something though.

This is true... A review is better. But that will have to wait until I've used it in the real world for a bit longer!
