So my friend Mike from "Hike with Mike" posted a response video where you talk about your first video. His was a 23 second Rattlesnake clip which is actually pretty fun. Anyhow, I looked up my first video. Yeah, the Gopro one. It's fun, but I have recently seen it. So my second video "Ground Skink North Carolina Herping" really isn't too bad for one of my first videos. Videos from my first few years tend to make me cringe. Heck, videos from last year make me cringe. Pretty fun. In fact, the way I became friends with Mike and Campfire Steve is, to me, actually quite awesome and I will never forget. I was camping in the NJ Pines (Wharton) and I had about 5 days to myself, maybe 4. I made a water filter from sand and grass, etc and did a bunch of other stuff. There were two cans left from previous campers and they were modified into handy camp gear. So, I found what I thought was trash to actually be left on purpose for the benefit of a future camper. Let me tell you, I used them for several projects. TBH, I took them home with me for sentimental value and still have them in my storage. Time goes by, I edit and upload my video in 3 installments. I get a comment from another YouTuber down south (Hike with Mike), asking me where I camped. I answered and turns out, he (Mike and Campfire Steve were camping there) left them there and saw them in my video! I mean how cool is that? To be watching a strangers video on YouTube. Many states away. And this stranger made a video where you recently went on vacation and in that video, you recognize something you left to help out a fellow outdoorsman, being used in that video. To me, that just rocks! That was a handfull of years ago now. And to this day, we (all three of us) watch and comment on eachothers videos. Too cool. I included links to their channels, below. Good people, they are. Too bad I lost the comments when I made my other channel private :( (I might have to go back and edit this, I haven't slept, nor eaten in almost 24 hours - lol)
