00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:01.500
my name's west little filled with athlon

2
00:00:01.503 --> 00:00:03.570
untamed and i've been recording my fishing

3
00:00:03.570 --> 00:00:05.430
trips for well over a decade and

4
00:00:05.430 --> 00:00:06.780
in this video i'm going to tell

5
00:00:06.780 --> 00:00:09.450
you the gear you actually need and

6
00:00:09.540 --> 00:00:11.220
give you a sneak peek into my

7
00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:14.250
process as a full-time outdoor content creator

8
00:00:14.370 --> 00:00:15.690
so starting out you don't have a

9
00:00:15.690 --> 00:00:17.820
full time film crew heck i still

10
00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:19.110
don't have a full time film crew

11
00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:20.070
sometimes my

12
00:00:20.190 --> 00:00:21.990
mom or my wife or my daughter

13
00:00:21.990 --> 00:00:23.040
will help me film but most of

14
00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:24.960
the time i'm all alone filming in

15
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:26.580
that case i like to keep it

16
00:00:26.670 --> 00:00:29.040
super simple now i didn't always i

17
00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:30.540
made it a little bit too complicated

18
00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:32.430
and it ended up making me more

19
00:00:32.430 --> 00:00:34.080
frustrated and not wanting to film at

20
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:36.150
times but over the years i've learned

21
00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:39.180
to simplify things and make filming my

22
00:00:39.180 --> 00:00:40.320
fishing trips laugh

23
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.230
way less complicated my gear list reflects

24
00:00:43.230 --> 00:00:45.630
this as well as my filming process

25
00:00:45.690 --> 00:00:46.530
so let's kick it off with the

26
00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:49.260
gearless for starters use your phone just

27
00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:51.480
keep it super-simple i know so many

28
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:54.690
creators big time creators too that primarily

29
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:56.580
use a phone ryan trey hand for

30
00:00:56.580 --> 00:00:59.820
example uses a phone for ninety nine

31
00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:00.300
per cent

32
00:01:00.510 --> 00:01:02.430
of what he films which is crazy

33
00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:04.290
he's got millions of subscribers so if

34
00:01:04.290 --> 00:01:05.670
it's good enough for him it's good

35
00:01:05.670 --> 00:01:07.320
enough for you too i promise but

36
00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:08.460
if you're looking to upgrade and you

37
00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:10.230
like that point of view look a

38
00:01:10.230 --> 00:01:13.320
gopro or action camera is a great

39
00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:16.470
next step after your phone and finally

40
00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:17.850
you can step up to a bigger

41
00:01:17.850 --> 00:01:20.310
camera a little bit fancier camera like

42
00:01:20.310 --> 00:01:20.640
the one on

43
00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:22.290
using here but it is by no

44
00:01:22.290 --> 00:01:25.080
means mandatory to get started next you're

45
00:01:25.080 --> 00:01:26.700
going to need a ton of spare

46
00:01:26.700 --> 00:01:28.140
batteries and i mean a ton i've

47
00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:30.420
got spare batteries for my main camera

48
00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:31.950
i've got spare batteries from our gopros

49
00:01:32.190 --> 00:01:34.560
but the most useful ones that i

50
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.020
would recommend are the spare battery packs

51
00:01:37.290 --> 00:01:38.160
as a matter of fact i've got

52
00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:39.390
it plugged into my camera right now

53
00:01:39.390 --> 00:01:40.800
charging it and this one

54
00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:43.710
allows me to charge everything and not

55
00:01:43.710 --> 00:01:45.780
just a specific camera or other piece

56
00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:47.370
of gear that i use next you're

57
00:01:47.370 --> 00:01:48.750
going to need the charging cables to

58
00:01:48.750 --> 00:01:50.160
plug into your camera to plug into

59
00:01:50.160 --> 00:01:52.230
the spare battery packs and just spares

60
00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:53.730
in general next to the memory cards

61
00:01:53.790 --> 00:01:55.590
i've got again three or four these

62
00:01:55.740 --> 00:01:58.950
for my main camera for my gopros

63
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:00.960
four drawers for whatever bear

64
00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:03.360
their memory cards are a must next

65
00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:05.100
mouse in general i've got a chest

66
00:02:05.100 --> 00:02:06.600
mount i've got head mount i've got

67
00:02:06.870 --> 00:02:08.700
my kayak mount or boat mount you

68
00:02:08.700 --> 00:02:10.860
know and then i've got tripods these

69
00:02:10.860 --> 00:02:12.870
mouths help steady the camera they help

70
00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:14.550
free up your hands whatever it may

71
00:02:14.550 --> 00:02:16.800
be i've found the most useful is

72
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.570
a chest mount i look around too

73
00:02:18.570 --> 00:02:20.550
much while fishing and it makes for

74
00:02:20.550 --> 00:02:21.060
poor

75
00:02:21.180 --> 00:02:23.910
video quality whereas my chest mount doesn't

76
00:02:23.910 --> 00:02:25.800
move as much but find what you

77
00:02:25.860 --> 00:02:27.600
want and you don't have to get

78
00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:29.130
them all at once just get one

79
00:02:29.130 --> 00:02:30.570
that you think you'll use the most

80
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:32.640
test it out if not then upgrade

81
00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:34.410
to something else i think the most

82
00:02:34.410 --> 00:02:36.900
important upgrade you can make is getting

83
00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:38.910
a microphone whether it's getting a microphone

84
00:02:38.910 --> 00:02:40.800
for your phone or getting a microphone

85
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.280
for your cam

86
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:44.640
sarah the audio is exponentially better when

87
00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:46.140
using a microphone today it's a little

88
00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:48.390
windy and i'm able to cut down

89
00:02:48.390 --> 00:02:49.680
a lot of that when thanks to

90
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:51.780
this microphone right here if i was

91
00:02:51.810 --> 00:02:53.640
just using my camera it would sound

92
00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:56.190
horrible and this video would not be

93
00:02:56.190 --> 00:02:59.700
worth watching so microphones are a must

94
00:02:59.790 --> 00:03:00.750
the next thing that a lot of

95
00:03:00.750 --> 00:03:01.410
people tend to

96
00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:03.150
overlook and forget about but that's a

97
00:03:03.150 --> 00:03:05.850
protective case yes my camera comes with

98
00:03:06.030 --> 00:03:08.070
some protective case and sometimes go pros

99
00:03:08.070 --> 00:03:09.570
come with some kind of case carrying

100
00:03:09.570 --> 00:03:11.400
case and stuff but that just means

101
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.020
it's all scattered everywhere i went ahead

102
00:03:13.050 --> 00:03:15.180
and got a cheap harbor freight protective

103
00:03:15.180 --> 00:03:17.250
case that way i can keep ninety

104
00:03:17.250 --> 00:03:19.260
percent of what i use all in

105
00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:21.600
one place and it just has simple

106
00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:23.730
find my process is simplified everything for

107
00:03:23.730 --> 00:03:26.400
me and i highly recommend a protective

108
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.140
case lastly you're going to need a

109
00:03:28.140 --> 00:03:30.300
way to edit your videos i started

110
00:03:30.300 --> 00:03:32.250
on my phone using a free and

111
00:03:32.250 --> 00:03:34.410
cheap software and then slowest that my

112
00:03:34.410 --> 00:03:36.210
way up if that's where you're at

113
00:03:36.390 --> 00:03:38.790
great just get a cheap video editing

114
00:03:38.790 --> 00:03:40.380
software for your phone and do it

115
00:03:40.380 --> 00:03:41.365
from there now

116
00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:43.770
upgraded to a better higher end video

117
00:03:43.770 --> 00:03:46.140
editing software and it's awesome i currently

118
00:03:46.140 --> 00:03:47.970
use cap cut but i also have

119
00:03:47.970 --> 00:03:49.920
final cut pro i've used canva in

120
00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:51.630
the past so there are ton of

121
00:03:51.630 --> 00:03:53.910
options used which one works best for

122
00:03:53.910 --> 00:03:55.860
you alright here's some gear that i

123
00:03:55.860 --> 00:03:57.930
think is nice to have this is

124
00:03:57.930 --> 00:03:59.490
gear that i have but i don't

125
00:03:59.490 --> 00:04:01.320
always use but when i use it

126
00:04:01.410 --> 00:04:01.920
and need it

127
00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:03.720
it and want it it is awesome

128
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:05.790
number one multiple cameras i started out

129
00:04:05.790 --> 00:04:07.590
with one go pro and expanded from

130
00:04:07.590 --> 00:04:10.620
there i like having multiple views of

131
00:04:10.620 --> 00:04:12.660
angles because sometimes my chest mount doesn't

132
00:04:12.660 --> 00:04:14.850
catch everything so i've got a camera

133
00:04:14.880 --> 00:04:16.763
gopro back behind me and a catches

134
00:04:16.763 --> 00:04:18.720
stuff that my chest mount doesn't or

135
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.160
i've got this camera going in front

136
00:04:20.340 --> 00:04:22.080
that it catches my re

137
00:04:22.080 --> 00:04:23.640
reaction on my face and i can

138
00:04:23.640 --> 00:04:25.350
talk to this and it just makes

139
00:04:25.350 --> 00:04:27.630
for a better overall video the next

140
00:04:27.630 --> 00:04:28.920
one that i would recommend is a

141
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.810
gimbal and i've got a phone gimbal

142
00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:32.790
that i absolutely love it helps steady

143
00:04:32.790 --> 00:04:34.830
your shot if you're moving around a

144
00:04:34.830 --> 00:04:36.330
lot your camera just going to smooth

145
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.160
out that motion and it's not going

146
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:39.750
to pick up all the little jerks

147
00:04:39.780 --> 00:04:41.820
another one that i bought initially thought

148
00:04:41.850 --> 00:04:42.210
thinking that

149
00:04:42.330 --> 00:04:43.920
use more and i just don't and

150
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:45.990
that's in the filters an nd filter

151
00:04:46.050 --> 00:04:47.940
is basically like sunglasses for your camera

152
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.160
lastly our spare us the cards or

153
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.080
memory cards yes i know i said

154
00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:54.390
i've already got multiple for each camera

155
00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:56.310
but it's nice to have multiple per

156
00:04:56.310 --> 00:04:59.190
camera because sometimes content doesn't get saved

157
00:04:59.190 --> 00:05:01.980
sometimes a memory card goes bad and

158
00:05:02.130 --> 00:05:02.400
crew

159
00:05:02.400 --> 00:05:04.050
cups all the footage and so you

160
00:05:04.050 --> 00:05:05.280
need to be able to plug a

161
00:05:05.310 --> 00:05:07.590
different went in and keep collecting content

162
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.390
alright so now that we understand the

163
00:05:09.390 --> 00:05:11.310
gear list and what's nice to have

164
00:05:11.310 --> 00:05:14.310
and what's more necessary mandatory let's talk

165
00:05:14.310 --> 00:05:16.680
about my process take what you need

166
00:05:16.890 --> 00:05:18.960
take what you can use and adapt

167
00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:20.370
it and make it your own no

168
00:05:20.370 --> 00:05:22.560
content creator uses the same exam

169
00:05:22.650 --> 00:05:24.300
process and even i kind of find

170
00:05:24.300 --> 00:05:26.310
myself adapting like my process will be

171
00:05:26.310 --> 00:05:28.380
way different if i'm bank fishing like

172
00:05:28.380 --> 00:05:30.210
today or if i'm in a boat

173
00:05:30.210 --> 00:05:31.800
with a buddy or if i'm kayak

174
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.500
fishing whatever my process definitely varies than

175
00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:35.880
two so this is just a general

176
00:05:35.880 --> 00:05:38.280
overview to give you an idea of

177
00:05:38.280 --> 00:05:39.570
what to do first of all comes

178
00:05:39.570 --> 00:05:41.340
the setup that's getting all your gear

179
00:05:41.370 --> 00:05:42.720
out setting it up on the tree

180
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.040
ipod setting it up on the mouse

181
00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:46.650
making sure the camera is adjusted properly

182
00:05:46.710 --> 00:05:49.290
like today for instance it's super sunny

183
00:05:49.470 --> 00:05:51.000
i had to make sure that i

184
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:52.740
wasn't blown out that the background wasn't

185
00:05:52.740 --> 00:05:54.870
blown out and just super white but

186
00:05:54.900 --> 00:05:57.120
also i wasn't super dark and you

187
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:58.590
couldn't see my face very well i

188
00:05:58.590 --> 00:06:00.480
know it's still harder to see because

189
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.280
the sun is blaring down and casting

190
00:06:02.280 --> 00:06:02.760
a shadow

191
00:06:03.060 --> 00:06:04.170
so there's all that kind of stuff

192
00:06:04.170 --> 00:06:06.540
that factors into getting set up getting

193
00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:08.310
the right shot you know what background

194
00:06:08.310 --> 00:06:10.431
you want that kind of stuff thanked

195
00:06:10.431 --> 00:06:12.150
through some of that that's all part

196
00:06:12.150 --> 00:06:13.770
of the setup making sure the microphones

197
00:06:13.770 --> 00:06:15.570
work that's a big one huge one

198
00:06:15.630 --> 00:06:16.890
which leads me to my next point

199
00:06:17.100 --> 00:06:19.320
and that's testing so you're testing that

200
00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:22.140
check check microphones work you're testing that

201
00:06:22.140 --> 00:06:23.040
you actually hit the

202
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.410
the record button you might think all

203
00:06:25.410 --> 00:06:27.180
that's i'll always do that i thought

204
00:06:27.180 --> 00:06:29.160
that too and then i've literally shot

205
00:06:29.310 --> 00:06:31.410
multiple videos have been light weight the

206
00:06:31.410 --> 00:06:33.300
red lights not on crap and i

207
00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:35.790
had to restart and reed shoot like

208
00:06:35.820 --> 00:06:37.710
ninety percent of the video always test

209
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.690
make sure it's recording it looks good

210
00:06:39.750 --> 00:06:41.790
and your microphones are working next up

211
00:06:41.820 --> 00:06:43.200
is filming now

212
00:06:43.530 --> 00:06:45.180
when i first started it was a

213
00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:46.890
gopro i clicked it and i just

214
00:06:46.890 --> 00:06:48.360
went fishing and didn't think about it

215
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.030
twice sometimes it worked out other times

216
00:06:51.150 --> 00:06:54.167
i missed shots because my gopro overheated

217
00:06:54.180 --> 00:06:55.530
and i didn't realize it or my

218
00:06:55.530 --> 00:06:57.360
gopro actually wasn't filming i thought i

219
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.310
hit the button and it didn't again

220
00:06:59.490 --> 00:07:01.440
that's why testing is important but it's

221
00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:03.360
the fun part going actually film your

222
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.400
fishing content next is packing up basically

223
00:07:05.400 --> 00:07:07.710
just do the reverse of setting up

224
00:07:07.710 --> 00:07:09.390
you know make sure you get everything

225
00:07:09.390 --> 00:07:11.580
unhook everything and make sure everything's packed

226
00:07:11.580 --> 00:07:13.620
away and safe and you're not forgetting

227
00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:15.209
anything so once we've packed up we've

228
00:07:15.209 --> 00:07:17.160
made it home now it's the boring

229
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.230
part for me sometimes like i don't

230
00:07:19.230 --> 00:07:21.900
actually like the editing process but i

231
00:07:21.900 --> 00:07:23.430
like what i make afterwards

232
00:07:23.550 --> 00:07:25.650
so it's kind of like some runners

233
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.810
they actually hate running but they love

234
00:07:27.810 --> 00:07:29.820
the high they get afterwards that's kind

235
00:07:29.820 --> 00:07:31.200
of how editing is for me it's

236
00:07:31.200 --> 00:07:33.330
a necessary evil in a way but

237
00:07:33.330 --> 00:07:34.500
in the end you get to make

238
00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:35.910
a really cool product it's a lot

239
00:07:35.910 --> 00:07:37.590
more than just chopping it up and

240
00:07:37.590 --> 00:07:39.060
slapping in the video and going you

241
00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:40.560
know you can dive as deep or

242
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:42.240
as little as you want to with

243
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:43.650
this and then lastly you

244
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.270
put all this work in you better

245
00:07:45.270 --> 00:07:47.040
stink and share it whether that's just

246
00:07:47.070 --> 00:07:49.020
sending it to some friends some family

247
00:07:49.200 --> 00:07:50.430
or putting it out there on the

248
00:07:50.430 --> 00:07:52.140
internet for all to see share your

249
00:07:52.140 --> 00:07:54.360
efficient experiences don't just waste all this

250
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.340
time and energy and not do anything

251
00:07:56.340 --> 00:07:58.680
with it so that's my quick overview

252
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:00.300
of a gear list and my filming

253
00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:03.270
process now again i've refined this over

254
00:08:03.270 --> 00:08:03.780
the years

255
00:08:03.900 --> 00:08:05.940
and i'll probably change it tomorrow at

256
00:08:05.941 --> 00:08:07.980
some point just because i'm always looking

257
00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:09.600
to make things better so by no

258
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.700
means think that this is the one

259
00:08:11.700 --> 00:08:13.230
way this is all you need the

260
00:08:13.230 --> 00:08:14.850
only thing you need to do no

261
00:08:14.880 --> 00:08:16.650
make it your own that is the

262
00:08:16.650 --> 00:08:18.000
key thing and be sure when you

263
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.260
get out and film your fishing trips

264
00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:21.120
let me know how it goes appreciate

265
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:22.590
you for watching kitchen excellent
