2023 Ramping Up

Good day to all of my outdoor crew, as the title says 2023 is starting to ramp up. There will be a major announcement coming in a couple of weeks. I will say save a spot on your calendar for May 12th – 14th. More to come on that soon. Also, new gear is showing up as we speak to make my overland/truck camping setup go much easier and faster. Also, I have downsized some of my gear to make more room in the truck. I was getting to the point I need a trailer or a bigger truck. With all of that said the year is shaping up already. My main goal is to do a lot more camping this year and get out to more places and hope to get out of Tennessee into more of Kentucky Alabama and maybe even into North Carolina at some point this year. So stay tuned here and on the YouTubes for more to come on all of the happenings.

Youtube Tuesday

Today is YouTube Tuesday and that means a new video and also means the last video in the Point and Shoot camera series. So go check it out. In a couple of weeks, I will have a roundup video on which cameras I kept and the ones that got chopped.

Tuesday’s video is UP!

Check out Tuesday’s video, just released.

Street Photography Day

Did a little street photography yesterday in downtown Nashville. As always Broadway was hopping even in early afternoon. So here they are the photos.

The Parthenon

In this video, CJ and I take off to check out the Parthenon in Nashville, Tn. It has been an extended time since I set foot in this place and wow it is fantastic.

Coming Project to YouTube

So I have been gathering up some old point-and-shoot cameras for a project that I have coming to youtube.

I think these point and shoots still have a place going into 2023, I will show they are just as alive today as there were when they came out in the early 2000s.

I will attempt to take all styles of photos with these cameras and we will break each one down.

We will even try our hand at product pics

So come along with us on this journey.

Fickle Weather

Tennessee Weather No One Knows!!

I have lived in Tennessee all of my life and one thing you can count on is the weather is never going to be the same from one weekend to another. Just two weeks ago I went camping and the temps got down into the low thirties that night and dropped down to 31 degrees at daybreak.

Fast forward two weeks and headed out again and check the forecast as you should before you head out yet going to be another beautiful weekend with one exception lows in the 50s, so once again adjust gear for the temps and be ready for much warmer weather.

The most important thing is to have the gear for the weather, a warmer sleeping bag for cold weather, and a cooler sleeping bag for warm weather. Also, go from layers of clothing to a lot fewer layers of clothing. You even can change your food between the two campouts. When it is cold you want foods that will warm the body like chili or a stew. In warm weather, I am more likely to fix a burger or something liter like fajitas. So always planing my sleeping bag, clothes, and food too the weather. Bring it on Tennessee, I got you either way.
