About Me I am spending more time on my website, adding video and photos.
A better digital camera would be a help for making my own video on YouTube backpackinonline channel. The first video is so bad. The second video is improved, but more improvement is needed for the videos I want to do.
I am sewing more of my own gear, trying out ideas I have wanted to see if they work better. I never thought I would do that. The forum has been a great help!
