Adam, I have to tell you that you've been a very important person in my life, virtually speaking. I've been watching your videos since COVID times, where many shitty things happened in my life. But I've always been able to watch your videos, and enjoy your humor, your respect for nature, your awesome photography, your ability to help others. We're about the same age, and in some way, I see us as having parallel journeys. So anyway, my deepest respect, best wishes, and thank you. very much.

If you don’t bring all the lens you have room for a sandwich and a beer in the bag

Having to be creative by accident can turn out to be a good thing! Though I think you should give Brian a hat for messing with his day!

I'm a fan of compressed images. Being from Northeast Texas, where a wide landscape is rare... shooting compressed images to find interesting subjects, is the norm. Loved this video.

Nice work - why not make a mini series and go out on purpose with „only the wrong lense“ ?

Smashing video! haha I do always forget things at home too, happens to the best of us. You overcame the challenge so well and shot some really lovely images. Cheers

Mr. Gibbs, Thank you for years of outstanding photography videos. I am visiting Vancouver Island for six weeks this coming fall. Usually, my routine is early morning, mid-day rest, or forest shots, then evening. I am a little worried about bears, especially walking in the woods at dusk and dawn. As a native of the area, how are the Bears?

Sometimes I will go with just a telephoto lens to force me to look at content differently 🙂

Hold up Adam, no more FLM tripods now? Kingjoy giving you much joy i see!

I know using a drone in the forest is a pain, but always looks great when you do it Adam! Nice photos as well - I'm headed to the island from Vancouver WA this month and will have to add this on the itinerary. Quick question on van camping: What is the policy on free camping in the parks in pull outs or along the logging roads? Here in the U.S. BLM land is always free - just find a spot and you are good to go.

That 'limitation' worked a treat with those first photos. Solved the log problem nicely.

Nicely reminiscent of the old videos Adam, with the drone work. You used to do some fantastic introductions to videos like that. Great image of the trees framing the slender waterfall. Thank you.

Sunday mornings with Adam...pretty fine. Great modeling for using what you've got...no excuses. Nice results. Thanks!

It‘s a fine case of „taking what you have got!“ Thank you very much for this one, Adam. Beautiful images with the long lenses, indeed. I mistly like the ones with the 4 different trees combined. Kind regards, Martin

Adam’s new mantra…Check my bag….Check my bag….Check my bag 😂 On the plus side loving the inclusion of drone footage again. I think it really adds to the vlogs 🙂 You could’ve used the wideangle lens on the drone for a photo or two. Amazes me the quality of such small sensors these days.

I love stacked tree trunk shots, they're fun to spot and don't really require a lot of finesse.. either it's there or it's not. Plus it justifies lugging the long lens.

Very nice Adam. Sometimes we have to improvise. I've left valuable equipment at home before. Night lens when shooting The milky way, tripod and card reader when I went to Paris. Yeah, we make due when we have to. 😁 I think makes us better photographers.

An accidental one-lens challenge! It'll be much funnier a few years from now ;-) I love the drone work through the trees. Nice images! When I saw the pencil-thin waterfall, I actually pictured a portrait image in my mind. I like what you captured at @

Great thoughts Adam, as always!

I always really enjoy your videos mate. You're such a boss in the forests and your years of experience really show. I do love the image with the compressed trees, such a cool effect.
