My wife and I, were on the Yellowstone river last year. We were more excited finding agates and Pet wood than if we were on our own shores picking up Petoskey stones ( a coral) and Lake Superior Agates. Watching your videos reminds me how great it was searching the river, even though the 100 degree weather was rough. Keep up the good work.

thanks for taking us along.... The stones are gorgeous... ALL of them. The agates are very pretty but so, so different from those that I have the opportunity to hunt & find. My agates are Lake Superior agates and far more colorful with multiple bands. I am 80 yrs. old & don't get to agate hunt very often anymore but when I do. I enjoy every moment. My daughter says "Mom. why do you have all these rocks?" I just tell her, " If you don't know, you will never understand. It's something that is unexplainable. You just know. " .... have a great day & happy hunting.

Also really liked the addition of some shots of random interesting rocks you come upon. In general, your changes made the trip feel more complete and less like highlights.

I hope the surgery went well! I record all of my video on an iPhone13, but I am hoping to upgrade to the new iPhone 15 pro soon which should boost the image quality a bit. I just picked up a wireless microphone (Rode ME) which I'll be using going forward to improve audio quality. I'm adding in drone footage from a new DJI Mini Pro 4 which is a lot of fun and records fantastic 4K footage. For editing I use iMovie on my Macbook pro. It does pretty much everything that I need it to do for basic video editing. Let me know if you have other questions!

@@AgateAngler years ago on a different kind of rock hunt (for something called Suiseki) in an ancient Colorado River wash in a California desert near the Mexico border (long since dried up, of course) I found plenty of run-of-the-mill petrified wood (sounds like glass when you tap pieces together), but I also found what I believe to be a large piece of green petrified wood. I had a friend lapidarist cut and polish one side of it, but he doesn't know enough about it to say whether it was petrified wood or not. I've seen other similar samples (cut) online and I'd say I'm 75% sure my sample is, in fact, wood (based on how similar my piece looks to those, and some what are, to me, obvious features--faint/squashed grow-ring looking things, an inner curve with a smooth surface looking like the core of a trunk 'peeled' or popped off with vertical striations and even small pits highly reminiscent of what you see when you remove the core of a carrot, an outer surface that sure looks like the texture of bark, and even what seems to be curious cellular structure/texture remaining on the cut side after the polishing), but I would love to find someone who can confirm or refute my suspicions. I'll have to track down a local geologist, perhaps. Either way, it's an interesting rock specimen, esp. after having one face polished. But sure would be special if it is petrified wood...

Hi Alec. Just wanted to share my opinion on this particular video. The introduction and sound are stunning - so much that I had to go back to the start to listen to the sound of nature once again. Sounded like a perfect meditation clip actually and even your intonation and voice was soothing (you can try making meditation videos it seems lol). Love the drone flights - it’s like having an out of body experience and watching from above. We have moved from Ontario to New Brunswick (Canada) a year ago. I love collecting rocks and am not sure I have been able to confidently identify them. I find a lot of quartz and unakite, but that’s about it. No petrified wood ever (at least not in the area we are currently living). The beach has tide extremes - sometimes very very wild and high tide and at others, very very low. It’s quite humbling to experience this. Anyway, I wanted to let you know you’ve hit your goal when you said you wanted to share this ‘immersive experience’. Thanks for putting extra effort to allow us have more experience along with you! Great job.

Dear Alec, I absolutely LOVED this video. The music and outdoor sounds were so much like a Solitude CD. I am a huge fan of Solitude music and own many CDs because they put me in such a Zen state. The music, for me, achieved the immersive feeling that you were trying to accomplish. The new video from the drone, the muffled wind sound, and your other shots of the rocks with you out in the stones with Kip looks like you are becoming an accomplished cinematographer. All your discoveries illicited many explanations of wonder from me and my husband who stuck around to watch the video. I only hope you went picking more morels as here in Manitoba I don’t think we have ever had a windfall of them as we have had this year. In fact I made homemade cream of mushroom/morel soup for supper last night! So the video in all its rock hounding glory was really a win win for me! ❤😊

I always enjoy watching these videos, glad to see you're planning on posting more content and are working towards improving your cinematography. Something you might consider to drive traffic to your channel is giving your video thumbnails extra "Pop". Many of yours tend to look similar and although the gem specimens are pretty, just having them in hand isn't necessarily the most exciting composition. Think to yourself, why would the average person bother clicking on a video where the big payoff is uninspiringly revealed before the video even starts? By creating some type of mystery people will just have to click because they need to find out what happened. Highly clickable thumbnails typically have three bright and distinct elements when together clearly tell the tale of your video, while eliciting some type of emotional response from the viewer. Try to remember, even though your channel is dedicated to people who specifically have an affinity for geology, your subscriber count will blow up if you also find ways to relate to viewers who aren't necessarily into rockhounding. Videos about one thing can still be about everything.

Mike, I appreciate you taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment. I definitely try to find the right balance with thumbnails, but of course what I see as interesting may not catch everyone's eye.

I am definitely changing the channel in terms of aesthetics and feel this summer so please keep me posted on your thoughts.

Hi Alex. Well, you have one more sub now. I didn't realize that I hadn't subscribed. You sure made some nice finds and so many beautiful wood pieces. I'm right there with you on the newness of Spring, new life and the crazy brightness of the fresh green growth never gets old.

You do an amazing job at immersing us in your experience! I am not able to physically/safely travel and to see not just the rocks, but to hear the animals/insects, to see what you're seeing...it takes me along with my senses, so thank you!

Nice video, Alec. The walk in the woods was lovely. Since I live on the other side of the Rockies, I'm not familiar with Montana plants. A few lingering closeup shots of some of the flowers and trees might enable me to identify them and learn a bit more about them. Thanks for a lovely walk and interesting rockhounding. Happy hounding this season.

@AgateAngler while looking for the beautiful banded churt, I found a steel rim from a wagon wheel. I wonder how long it has been in the river and how it got there 🤔

Fun Opening. Love the Crickets & Tadpoles..Thanks for taking us with you.. My favorite Pet wood is are the pieces that look like fresh wood ! ! Some look like they were in a fire as well. Interesting.. So much water line Agate instead of fortification Lines.. . . Any chance that you can bring some unusual Drift Wood to mount your finds on for dramatic Display??

Love your videos! It's just beautiful where you live. I always wanted to come see that side of the country. Your audio did great with the wind. Barely did hear any background noise of it. Hope you reach your 35,000 soon! Keep up the good work. 💜😊

The big pieces of petrified wood you’re finding are real pretty. I’m a jasper lover. I do love the petrified wood & agate but jasper is my favorite. Beautiful piece of chert. Not sure if that’s how it’s spelled. Other rocks are very pretty too. Thank you for taking us along.

What a great video!! It's so good to see you again. I enjoyed the spring peepers and also the human music. It's nice to see people pick up things that aren't just agates and pet wood once in a while. I happen to love jasper and chert. It will be fun to see more of you this summer.
