3 DAYS SOLO BUSHCRAFT TRIP + WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY - bread on stick, bow drill, tarp shelter, fire

I am off grid on a small peninsula near the West coast of Denmark on a 3 day bushcraft trip with my camera. Making a base camp in the woods from where I can hike to the surrounding nature is a great way of doing wildlife photography.
The camera gear itself is quite heavy itself so I decided not to bring a tent. I love wild camping and on the first night I simply slept underneath a big tree while the moon rose and I could fall to sleep to the sound of the camp fire and the ducks and geese nearby.
I hoped to get close to the deer in the area but I had no luck. A few short glimpse was all I got. I got close to a group of swans and I was lucky to get a few good photos of these beautiful birds.
For me this is the very best kind of nature photography. Being alone in nature for a period of time without high expectations - just spending some days and see what happens.

I'm working on a video about how I manage to power up all of my batteries on longer trips and expeditions using power banks and solar panels. Let me know if you have any questions you would like me to include in that video 👍

@littlejohn9078 5 жыл бұрын

Could you include the price of such panels and which one you recommend?

@montanaphoto 5 жыл бұрын

When we are gone for long periods of time, I need to power up 2-4 camera batteries per day. I would like to know many many watts solar panels would need to put out, to accomplish that. Also what kind of power bank is good for this. I have a two camera battery charger that is usb, so a power bank, would probably need to be able to run that for quite a while. We're depending on the generator now and neither my husband or I like the noise, plus it's not that efficient for charging camera batteries. Thank you for the information you provide, I could google but I don't know if I'd get practical information!

As I sit nursing a blown out knee, knowing it will be at least June before I can head out hiking with the camera again, it is a comfort to sit and be a part of your peaceful natural adventure. No words needed. Just being.
