Even with the mishaps, I'm in love with everything Canada and Alaska has to offer along the Alaska Highway. I know that I'll be back to do it properly in the future! Thanks for watching!
The feeling of being happy starts with climbing in a Troopy and starting the engine with the key. I know this feeling very well and why, because I own a Troopy for myself. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from aTLC 78 from Germany.
Ben, I just finished the video! I had to knock it out in two sessions. I truly love the longer videos, and I know it takes hours to get these done. When you were doing the little cooking session, it reminded me of the COVID times and your carne asada fries video in your backyard. Yeah it was a simple wrap, but I love it! One bright side to you losing a lot of gear is that you will streamline your editing and video with just one source. :) I can't wait to see what is next. Much love and stay safe man!
Haha you’re so right about that Vince! Part of me is looking forward to the challenge of still trying to make good videos with simple gear. Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad you like the longer ones 🙌
So sorry to hear about the setback with getting your stuff stolen. As a photographer myself, I can’t imagine having all my gear stolen. Wishing you luck on the next chapter man. Stoked to follow along
Ben, you should think about writing a travel book. Your story is a great story, which includes the good, the bad, and the very interesting. You covered all three in a 45 minute video and you did it very well. You have a talent. Take advantage of it and keep your tank full. Thanks - Dan 🌲🌲🌲
Ben, you are a true gentleman for forgiving those who stole your belongings. Karma will prevail. Respect the Emu Bitter reference, my drink of choice many years ago. You and the troopy will get the mission done!
i literally just got out of the shower in our camper ( c class ) when I noticed your video. Normally, I take the 4runner and camp out on my own in the bush where I don't get internet. So when I go glamping with the wife, we get the internet. It is so good to see you are back on your way. You took the robbery very well, way better than I would. But that's in your nature. You take things in your stride. I really have to say it was nice to see how long this video was. So take that troopy, get what you have to do to get her back to normal, and continue with that lifetime trip. And, of course, enjoy yourself.
Thanks so much John! I thought of you while putting this one together as it started to get long! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hoping to keep putting out some longer ones like this, so long as people want to watch 🙌
@BenStinnett for the real die hards like me in watching these adventures, people will always watch them. Thanks so much for responding so quickly. I even had my wife watch this video, and she too said a lot of people can learn from your attitude. Keep up the good work, and remember to be safe out there.
Hey Ben! Sorry to hear about the lost camera gear. I have an older Canon digital Rebel you can borrow, I don't use it. Let me know when you are back in CA.
Hate to hear this! I had a break down one time and had someone steal all my tools out of my truck. Bad part is it was also either one of two shops or the tow truck driver.
There is no excuse for someone stealing, including if they needed the money more than you. They’ll stole the time in your life earning what you bought. Hang in there, and keep telling your stories. Be safe.
BEN - what MIC are you using?? The audio is SPOT ON. I don't see a wireless. Shotgun mic? Are you editing audio in post?? Or is it the 3D camera?? Anyway, nicely done! (from a former audio tech) 😊
Hey Jim! Thanks so much. This video has a combo of the DJI Mic 2 wireless lav, and the built-in mic on the Osmo Pocket 3. It's the first video where I used the Premiere Pro "Enhance Audio" AI tool in post on all the dialogue.
Thanks for watching Charley! Tok, Alaska will always have a special place in my heart because of all the kindness and generosity I experienced there. We’ll recover from this setback and be out there finding the good all around the world soon enough 🙌
