Hey man, thanks for checking out the video and the comment. Means alot when one of my original influencers appreciates and enjoyed the video. Sucks having issues with the Cat but even with all the issues we still managed to make it! We also couldnt leave him behind, my mother in law would have our heads haha. That camping spot is the reason I got hooked on ATV camping... and to think there are many more we haven't seen yet! One day! Party 2 is still in post, I hope to have it done soon! Thanks again!

YEAH BUDDY, that looked like a whole mitt full of fun! I love these videos where there's a destination and a bit of work to get there. The anticipation makes the video so much better. Sucks that the 4WD and winch calved out on the Cat. What are the odds? Trails were amazing! I remember the beaver pond area and the rocky areas from the first(?) ATV fishing trip you shared. 35:30 - EXACTLY IGOR! Couldn't agree more! Awesome video buddy! Loved it!

But hey, should be checking these things BEFORE the trip anyway lol. Atleast we managed to make it. We were at that first area where Jord got stuck for over 45 minutes.... was brutal lol.

Man, your editing is phenomenal. What program do you use? And what GoPro settings? Mine seem to pixelate a lot more when uploading to KZread. You had to be covered in mud!

It's weird, when I'm at work they look terrible but when I'm at home they look good. Maybe its just the wifi connection? I don't know but KZread still rakes the resolution regardless. I edit with Wondershare Filmora 11 currently. I like it, pretty user friendly. As for settings, I had my GoPro set at 1080 30fps, which I kinda goofed on. I meant to set at 1080 60fps.

I'm not all that familiar with how they used to be but this one is a 2011. We were pretty shocked at how little there was to the 4WD actuator when we had removed and opened it up. Didn't take much damage/wear for it to take on water which was the cause of it not working properly (obviously). There was one more ride after this one that we had nothing but issues with it. But spoiler alert, it's all fixed up now and ready for the trails again.
