Oh to be able to go back to the yard sales in the 90’s. Watching your videos reminds me of the cool stuff I used to have and find at yard sales all the time.

[@honorableoutfitters]

I have never had much luck with yard sales. Every once in awhile I'd find a Coleman lantern that someone sells for $40...which is pretty high. The best deal I ever stumbled across was my Optimus 8R for $5 at a flea market. I could not get that Abe Lincoln out fast enough for fear the guy may change his mind!

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

@@honorableoutfitters even back in the 90’s?

[@honorableoutfitters]

I didn't have the money or time in the 90's, it wasn't until about 2014 I had a bit of both. Timing is everything I suppose, lol.

[@OverOnTheWildSide]

@@honorableoutfitters ah, that’s a shame. My dad and I stopped at every yard sale we saw and there was a lot of cool stuff.

[@sargevining]

Got both cameras going! Looks good.

[@honorableoutfitters]

It is awesome setup, thank you brother! I finally figured out how to adjust the settings to get it pretty close to my main camera. 😅

@@honorableoutfitters Does your editor give you a graphic display of sound patterns? I noticed a couple of times you were out of sync.

Fortunately for me I am short so the packs fit. I still want to make my own as I have canvas on hand. My stall has been finding a lightweight wood. Then I remembered in the old days shields were made of linwood which in the US is known as basswood. It is a lightweight wood that is still durable. Now to find a retailer to go visit as I imagine shipping would be a fright. Remember that every extra 10 lbs puts 15 to 50lbs of pressure on your knees. So if you have knee problems or arthritus take it easy and take breaks.

[@honorableoutfitters]

Great advice! I just saw Hobby Lobby carries Basswood...I can't recall seeing long thick pieces however. The Traeger that I have has yellow pine uprights which is still lightweight but more durable than White Pine.

If you love carbide that much, go look for a remake of a cast iron toy carbide cannon. Yes gun-guy, youll love it

[@honorableoutfitters]

Oooooop...never heard of such a thing, thanks!

You said it was Spring Break and you will go for a hike right after you drop your children off at school. “Spring Break” “drop your children off at school”; you may want to rethink that part of your plan. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@honorableoutfitters]

Lol, I teach at a different school than my children.
