Another great conversation. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
It was great chatting with you guys, and I'm looking forward to collaborating with you some day soon.
Looking forward to it James! We can't wait to see what you are part of next!
I like Michael’s idea of adding to the story of how you got there, what did you eat, ect, to add interesting story line to the wildlife footage. I wish I would have watched this before my Yellowstone trip I just go Back from. P.S. I got that magnetic holder for GoPro. It worked great. I also found out not everything on the truck is magnetic. I think your thumb nails are fine. Another great information video.
Thanks Craig! I found the same thing about the magnet 😳
Ahoy, Truth and Legends crew! Are you guys opposed in any way to enabling the "clips" function on your end? I wanted to share the clip of Michael making the case for starting a RUclips channel from the perspective of an up-and-comer. No biggie, there is the "start at" check box that I can use. But... idk. Sometimes it's better to cut it off after the salient point you are trying to highlight. Love the show! Thanks.
We'll look into it James.
Just a Viewer and subscriber, the content is becoming boring and nothing interesting.
1 hour of talking, its a Wdlife filming channel but lack of the main content.
