Very well done Sir Chadwick! So enjoyed this video. Very crafty!
Tis an honor for this knight to be commended so by his own dam. Thank thee!
Thankes be noted from thy Dam. Afterall, I so named thee Chadwick at birthing thee!
Once again, the originality is outstanding. Thank you. Trail Brotheren, safe travels!
Another hit out of the ballpark! A brilliant exercise of middle English. This was fun
Why thank you, kind sir! I'm glad you enjoyed our bit of japery.
Loved it! Well done. Crow✌️
I thank thee, Crow-Who-Walks! May we meet on the highroad one day!
This is golden! Nice work.
I appreciate the dialogue. True adventurers of the realm.
I thank thee, kind sir! I'm glad you also appreciate our sense of humor 😁
Epic video Sir Chadwick 🏹! This fair maiden gives her approval of this gathering of your Merry Men, Sir Samuel and Sir Nick😊😂. Great video !
Why, thank thee, madam! We knights are honored by your approval. I shall pass it along to Sir Samuel and Sir Nick!
PURE GOLD Sir Chadwick Septentrion! This is new my new favorite narration! I love the mixture of clips to tell a new story other than how actual events took place! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. The first time I watched the video, I was at work, and my coworkers thought I had gone hysterical from the amount of laughter coming from my corner! @14:55 how did you get that sunrise? Was that post edit magic? Let's not forget about those bloopers! "I ready for my day in the Wilderness" BWAHAHA!
I thank thee, Sir Nicholas! It was a lot of fun to write and record. I'm glad you found it as amusing as I did, hahaha. I hope it lives up to the expectations of your friend who's been waiting for it! The sunrise is just a crossfade between an evening shot and a morning shot. I didn't even know I had two almost identical shots until I got home. Magic indeed! Sir Samuel the Red was the star of the bloopers, for sure 😂 Thank you for the views and the comment, gentle knight!
Yeah this did not disappoint!!! This was pretty daggum good!!! Thanks for telling me about it...
Most wondrous work, Sir Chadwick! You had me laughende ouÞ louede! I would attempt more of the middle English, but I will delay research until I have time to watch Monty Python and The Holy Grail, again. Then, I will speak like "you English types". Seriously, this video is so entertaining, with your mixing wonderful humor and outstanding photography. That's an amazing clip where you crossfaded the evening and morning sky! You see and accent subtle natural beauty, like brown beech leaves ("that clung to their bewintered limbs") and sycamore in winter ("bone-white trees pendant with woollen orbs"). Your production of the venture through nature is outstanding. I like the directing of the story in the camps and along the trail, like the gathering around the fire or the hiking knights on their quest. It is the story that has me so delighted! The stars of the show are top notch! Great stuff. Thanketh thee, Sir Chadwick for such ain delightplenē̆rlī ǧē̆sting!
Ah, a visit from a renowned member of the Senate! This pleaseth me greatly! After our questing in the decayed realm of the debauched King Charles, I am grown amenable to the idea of a republic. And you, good sir, have earned my vote with your passing kind words!
There is rumor that our own sovereign hath interest in the Holy Grail of which thou speakest. I myself have never heard of yon Sir Monty Python, but I shall enlist the aid of Sir Samuel and Sir Nicholas in seeking him out. It does my heart good to know that even a great politician such as thee doth love the leaf of the beech and the woollen orb of the bone-white sycamore as do I. May we meet one day at some banquet or upon some highroad!
Hail Sir Chadwick Septentrion! A welcome addition to the universe of Beyondeth the Campfire! The story of this grand adventure left my heart full of glee. Let me commence my prose on this fine work:
0:11 The color in this opening shot is so good. I didn’t realize we had so much gloom that evening. It makes the colors of the fire and our clothing stand out even more.
1:34 Only a minute in and you have set up the purpose of this story so well. Your narration is so good. The footage is just an added bonus. You could release just the audio/music mix of this trip and it would make a lovely short story that would fill my imagination with pictures of the land and characters.
2:38 Wonderful, on point addition of new music at the time of our dubbing of swords, er, trekking poles.
4:04 It makes me happy to see the creative liberties you took to craft this narrative. In your story, the three of us arriving at the watchtower at the beginning of our adventure makes so much more sense than at the end. Good choice!
5:19 I also love how you give each character some footage while dialogue is happening, and our mouths moving to other nonrelated conversations fits some of the lines really well!
5:27 This leaf still has a lot of color left on it for late November!
5:58 I am so glad your mic picked up this audio so clearly! Fits in perfectly. Although I think Sir Samuel Strummer was a tad flat, tonally 😉
7:34 The start of this reprise “But they could not find the campsite” is such a good literary tool you used here. More on that later.
7:51 I believe a certain Madonna song would have been a fitting companion to this line from Sir Nick 😉
8:18 How dare King Charles, that damned apostate! With such fine a land, he should be a herald of the faith!
8:30 A new word that I did not know before this episode. The next time I do something church related, I am totally going to use this in a sentence!
8:45 Loving this music choice here (The whole video is chosen very well on the music front; we need chamber music in BTC more often!)
9:21 Dang, Sir Nick got me! 👌
10:02 A Maze of Thorns it was, indeed. My foam pad still has scars to show for it haha
10:17 An accurate depiction of Nick’s actual demeanor during this bushwack hahahahaha
10:40 “In filth it shall be found.” I love this phrase for the elusiveness of that campsite. Also, TWSS
12:12 The flames were great in this fire. It burned faithfully amidst much wind for several hours into the night and the next morn!
12:31 This shot gave me so much anxiety with how close it felt you were to slamming that log onto your camera lol
12:43 Look at that pile of wood! Gotta be the biggest ever for the Trail Tribe.
12:52 The effects the wind was making on the water here are incredible.
13:28 I still think pretty often about that beer you gave me. It was one of the best I’ve had! What was it called again? Haha
14:08 Again, one of the coolest shots in this video. Frameable for sure
15:02 I read Nick’s comment about this sequence, and I am equally as blown away by it. How cool that you got almost perfect mirror shots of dusk and dawn by accident! Another one of my favs from this video.
16:50 Woah. Such a powerful section of writing here, Chad. This whole video I am having my own imagination of the trip through your words while the footage is going at the same time. It is wild to experience, something I haven’t before in a backpacking YT video. And, I agree with Sir Nick’s dream. Some of my finest campsites have been simply because they were shared by you two. It’s hard adventuring without you guys, anymore! Now, if we could only teach this lesson to Sir Nick so he is not so picky with his “the finest campsite is down the path a wee bit more” Hahaha (I challenged him this past weekend at the Nest, for sure)
16:55 Also the fact that you are smiling in this shot while your dialogue is having you laugh of our errant ways as knights is a wild connection, too.
17:57 This song could be a new returning one for you on this channel. It’s dope!
18:50 This narration feels like it belongs in Monty Python, hahaha
18:58 It’s amazing what my brain comes up with when I am in the woods hahahaha 🙈
19:07 This shot belongs on our OnlyFans channel
19:43 SmokeyAssNatural🍑
19:54 Running away from embers, Take 1 of 957 of the night.
20:17 I have so many questions on why you are running here hahaha
20:45 Wouldn’t be BTC if this wasn’t in here!
I enjoyed this just as much if not more the second viewing! You have packed so many literary and cultural references in here with the old English, that I am going to be rewatching several times while doing research to find some of these easter eggs. I am not tooting your horn just for the sake of it when I say this is some of your best work. You took a creative risk with this project, and it paid off beautifully! Thanks for sharing your work with us, and more importantly your friendship. Let’s do it again next month! See you on Pine Mountain!
Sir Samuel! Tis good to read thy words, gentle knight! It pleaseth me greatly to know that my tale hath thine approval!
- The color in the opening shot is courtesy of that Olympus lens. I'm not sure I could ever part with it. I love the look of every shot I get with it.
- I enjoyed playing with the order of the shots and creating a new story out of it. It worked really well for this trip in particular. There was just enough footage to make it feel like a single epic day.
- I did my best to match up the dialogue with actual speaking shots, but it's not perfect, haha. I found myself wishing I had more closeups of the three of us.
- And that is why they call thee Samuel Strummer, for mine ear knows not the sound of a flat tone.
- King Charles has lost my faith as well! It's good that our own sovereign is a more noble monarch! Perhaps he will make an appearance in a future story.
- Orison is a great word 😉
- I have a feeling you'll be hearing some of this music again. It's too good not to reuse.
- I forgot that the maze of thorns tore up your pad!
- I hope Sir Nick is not too terribly wroth with me for adding in his misgivings about the bushwhack 😅 But I couldn't stop laughing about it, hahaha. Plus I wanted to keep some of our own personalities in our knightly alter egos.
- You are right to think that "in filth it shall be found" has many uses 🤣
- I'm not sure what I was thinking slamming down that log so close to my camera. I don't remember being concerned at the time, so maybe it wasn't as bad as it looks, haha.
- Was your beer the Platform Opera Cream Stout? That sounds right to me.
- What you're saying about the writing is exactly what I was aiming for, so it's awesome to hear that I succeeded! I wanted to have two parallel stories - one visual, one narrated - that inform one another. And until you mentioned it, I didn't even realize how appropriate it was for me to give Nick the dream 🤣🤣 I agree though, we can make any campsite feel like home! (But that doesn't mean we can't still look for great campsites 😁)
- I love the flute song. It will return!
- I should have narrated all the bloopers! Maybe next time...
- 🐝🍑😂
- I was shocked that this was the only shot of us running away from the fire, hahaha. I could have made a whole montage if my camera had been rolling the whole time.
- I actually don't know why I was running in that shot. Maybe I was trying to warm up, haha.
My tricks for encouraging multiple viewings are working again! 😜 Seriously though, I'm thrilled that there's enough in there for you to want to watch it multiple times. The Classical references are all Greek, if that helps 😉 This was so much fun to make that I can't help but think that we haven't seen the last of the Knights of the Satchel. Perhaps they're just getting started... Thank you for the feedback and the help in making this the adventure that it was. And for humoring me as I shot it, haha. I can't wait for our hike next month. I'm going crazy with cabin fever! See you then, brother!
Dude, this is damn good. Great shot composition, score, editing, and of course the narration. I enjoyed how the means became the end - friendship is the ultimate campsite. Haha it was actually kinda touching.
This video is a such a nice intersection of your love of hiking and of Chaucerian language. I can say your effort in learning Middle English and reading the Canterbury Tales paid off here in a big way. It doesn't sound forced or like you're faking it. The vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation all sound natural to my untrained ears. You went for it 100% and were consistent throughout - that's what sells it. It's a unique video and I doubt there's one quite like it out there. Kudos.
Good to see you here, Ser Benton! One day you and Ser Matthew shall join me on our own marvelous adventure!
I'm so glad to know you enjoyed the video and narration. Writing it was a lot of work, but it was also a lot of fun, and performing it felt great. I'd say there's a decent chance of a sequel someday... This was definitely intended to be an intersection between my two major passions, and an attempt at doing something that maybe hasn't been done before in quite this way. I hope it is as unique as you say! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. It's always appreciated, my friend.
I really enjoyed this video. Your creativity and talent always amazes me. 💜
I'm very glad you enjoyed it and it wasn't too weird for you 😋 Thanks for always watching and putting up with my strange ways!
