Backpacking Gear - 2015 Gear Overview

With the 2015 backpacking season winding down I decided to put together a gear overview video. In this video I go over each of my main pieces of gear, and I include a few thoughts along the way regarding why I've chosen the gear that I currently use.

Since I only had to carry my video gear the 50 feet or so from my house to my backyard, I also decided to add some complexity by using a second camera, multiple microphones, and tripods. As a result, the editing of this video was more complex than anything I'd done previously, and I learned much that I will hopefully be able to build upon in future backpacking videos.
