What a great guy. His child-like wonder and sage like wisdom were beautifully captured by you Ben! The shots were awesome as well.

[@adventureStaley]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jjbs58]

Nice Ben - chalk up yet another cool little video adventure... It just amazes me on how you can make a superior video from just a walk in the woods with just the right woodsie music to boot. Nice work...

[@adventureStaley]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@simonlong3154]

Fabulous video Ben. What a great character Charlie is. Love the images too.

[@adventureStaley]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tadeusz11000]

Time spent with family is quality time. Charlie is the sort of guy you want around you when it’s post-apocalyptic, and everything man-made is gone. When that happens, we will all need Charlie to be a guide to navigate us and show us the way to live with nature; something we lost a long time ago.

🤘🏻🤘🏻

That's the plan!

[@KeithHodgkinson]

Very cool walk, chat and images.👍

[@adventureStaley]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stevemphoto]

Damn it man! I so wish the level of production you have on your channel was more prevalent on youtube. Such a breath of fresh air...I look forward to seeing your videos!

[@adventureStaley]

Thank you Steve. Just walking around in the woods for an hour...

[@cc_chapman]

What a beautiful little story. I'm a sucker for moving water in a little stream, so I loved this.

[@adventureStaley]

Thank you CC!

[@edmontontangobar4991]

Incredible storytelling, I know everything important about this man and not a single 'fact.' Beautiful!

[@adventureStaley]

Hes the man

[@JohnPatrickWeiss]

Lovely video and photographs. You captured Charlie’s intelligence, love of the outdoors, and character. Would love to play with the Leica M11 and Summicron lens, but their stratospheric price tag will keep me hugging my Fuji XPro 3 for now. 😂

[@adventureStaley]

Thank ya John! All you need is what you have.

[@jeffstephens5266]

Great channel, learn something on every view.

[@adventureStaley]

Thank ya Jim

[@GaryRandallPhotography]

In Oregon all I usually see when I see a bear is its ass end as it's running from me. In Alaska... not so much. :D I think that Charlie and I would hit it off great. Excellent video Ben. You have a new subscriber.

[@adventureStaley]

Thank ya Gary!

[@jorgenarnefurfjord]

Wonderful story and great work. Like all the way You filming with macro and down nearby the ground. Very nice guy Charlie. How do You enjoy the Leica M11? And please keep on the good work and creat good dialogs with people, you do it so damn good man 👍

[@adventureStaley]

Thank ya Jorgen. I like the M11 ok.

[@scc6210]

Another a great video, thank you. ! Did you record this with your Sony A7III ?

[@adventureStaley]

Thank ya. I used an FX3 and a 50mm Sigma art lens.

[@marcusoutdoors4999]

Lovely story telling and great shots. I was wondering what camera Len’s combination you were using for the video?

[@adventureStaley]

Thank ya! FX3 & Sigma Art 50mm.

[@marcusoutdoors4999]

That makes perfect sense, shooting stills and video on two completely different but excellent 50s

What was this video shot with? Great video

[@adventureStaley]

FX3 & Sigma Art 50mm.

[@lindsaytaylorphotography]

No words.

[@adventureStaley]

Thanks for showing up man.

[@mlseawell]

Fantastic! Loved the images and the entire story. The fact you used a Leica to do this is irrelevant. What is relevant is you are a master craftsman and the Leica 11 happens to be the tool.

[@adventureStaley]

Thank you Mark. Agreed. I only (Cringingly) mention the camera to hook viewers... Cause I'm not really doing the regular Tube thing here... Eh.

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

So this is why I still watch youtube.....amongst all the chaff is the wheat.

[@adventureStaley]

🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@craigeilers]

Is any of Charlie’s work published? Do you have a link to his work? Thanks

[@adventureStaley]

His IG link is in the description. Seek him there.

[@gregstevenson7401]

Nothing more to add to the comments below - almost feels like I can steal into the weekend now.

[@adventureStaley]

🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@EDHBlvd]

What do you record your videos with?

[@adventureStaley]

FX3 & Sigma Art 50mm.
