So far I've used my smartphone to record all my hiking videos. Using your phone to record your hiking and backpacking trips is a cheap, ultralight way to relive your trips with some great footage. In this video, I talk about the benefits of using your phone for hiking videos, and walk through my own setup, including accessories, microphones, and apps.

Welcome to my random musings on all things backpacking. If you haven't already guessed, my name is Dan. I was bit by the backpacking bug in 2014 and since then haven't gone one day without thinking about my next adventure. I'm from Chicago, a great city but...not so much known for its bountiful backpacking opportunities. Nevertheless, I haven't let that stop me from enjoying the outdoors. Hope my videos leave you with one or two takeaways, or even better, inspire you to head out on the trail. Thanks for watching! Have fun out there!
