@vitaminb4869 2 жыл бұрын

@@liltaz1225 if you "just land the drone" you are going to have a lot of the foreground in the shot and you will never be able to frame it precisely. Much better to just let the drone hover in that case. But another con of a drone is it will never match the video quality of an actual camera.

@hmbee1110 3 жыл бұрын

Next time you have a fire in the snow make sure to lay out a platform of your wood and then put your firestarter and such on top to start it. This helps to keep the snow from melting and putting out your fire. Also when you cook with cast iron over the fire it works best if you can wait for those glowing embers of coals you showed at the end. Sit the skillet right on top of them. Get yourself a cast iron lid to put on top your skillet to keep ash out and keep the heat more even. It's easier to burn the food on the bottom of the pan when you cook directly over flames. It's very hard to get consistent heat when cooking over the flames so closely like that. Just some tips for you if you want them.

@drewsimms 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the advice! First time cooking over a fire and only the 3rd or 4th time I've done a fire in deep snow so I really appreciate the insight from you!

@bobbycrowder3993 3 жыл бұрын

Always better to put wood down first then build your fire on top. Starting a fire directly on wet ground or snow sucks up moisture and can soak the wood. In this case though, you had fire starters which make a huge difference but if you didn’t have them, this is a good tip.
