@@XanderBudnick I first noticed those when I started watching one of your winter camping videos. things like having the camera up when you go to bed or a static shot as you trecked past a particularly beautiful area. Honestly, realising that you're walking to the camera spot, setting up your camera and tripod, then walking back and getting the shot, then going back for it and carrying on, all the while making sure your footprints in the snow don't show, if anything added to my respect for you. rather than ruining the mystery.

It was super comfy - It was nice having a wall like that - aye the wind did blow all over but i was more or less protected hehe cheers friend!!!!! and thanks for your comment once again :D

While I commend you for picking a spot so exposed to wind and cold for a more aesthetic viewing experience, I have to say I never choose those conditions myself except when natural cover like trees and terrain to protect from wind aren't available. People really underestimate just how much colder it gets close to water compared to having the extra wind protection from a handful of trees. Really well produced video, subscribed and can't wait to see more.
