Dixie and Aaron, I love, love, love the mood of the videography in this episode!
Love the silent intro with the music coming in later and gradually.
Love when the camera's stationary on the tripod or is panning on the tripod. I love the still camera because only when the camera's still can you see the subtle movements happening in the setting, the grass swaying or the deer moving about.
Just a feeling of tranquility and solitude, what hiking is often about.
I love the compositions, the settings you chose when it's on the tripod.
Love the muted colors and flatter contrast.
The shadows and highlights.
Love how sometimes the story is in your words and other times the visual tells a strong story by itself.
I love how understated and subtle both audio and visuals are. Tranquility again.
But I don't want to say that your other styles aren't as good. I love the authenticity of your earliest videos even if the production value was plebian. Your earlier videos elicited one kind of feeling and mood and this is just another mood and I really love the diversity of your styles.
Of course, who doesn't love the output of the big Sony. I just feel bad that you have to carry it. I'm not a videographer but I bet you could do almost as well with a smaller Olympus or Panasonic. Cheaper and more rugged too.
In any case, I love seeing the development of your styles and moods.

Please tell me you stopped in at the cave and used it as a water source, cause if not, you missed out on the best spring water in the world lol.
I can t ever pass through Cave Spring without stopping at the park and filling me up a few bottles of water.
Also, as I m sure you could probably tell, the Hearn Inn and the rest of the old GSD Campus around there is known to be one of the most haunted places in Georgia.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed passing through Floyd County!

Great video! Good scenery. Good details. Would anyone else be interested in a video about the logistics of planning a hike? How to determine what permits are needed, where to get them, where you don't need them, whether or not you need to reserve specific sites or if you can back country camp in a non-designated spot. That kind of stuff.

I just love watching your video posts hiking through the wilderness what brings around the bend ie, deer, birdies, camping atop of the mountain and seeing the sunrise, footage of the forest but miss Fancy Mae: ) PS: Finding hairs from your doggie who has passed still pulls the heartstrings: )

That was really neat finding you dog s hair. I had a similar experience when I pulled out my backpack from when I was a young one to take my oldest son on his first overnight trip, and found a blond hair from my Sydney - my yellow lab when growing up. A special moment.

As a Kiwi, the fact that people overseas have to use things like bear bags/cans just to keep yourself safe from hungry critters strikes me as odd. I am also very aware that it is because we literally have no such animals to be wary of here in New Zealand.

My dog Scout would hide in my closet behind my pants in a thunder storm or if there were fireworks. He died two years ago and occasionally I still find some of his fur on my pants. Like you I stop, remember and smile. Thanks for all you do Dixie.

OMG that sky!
Dixie, I sure know what you mean about the dog fur. My buddy died 2 and a half years ago, but I still have his blanket and a couple of others that have just held onto the fur like I wish I could have held onto him forever.

I have a Tarptent Rainbow and I like it, the company has unique designs. It has one carbon fiber pole and I can use trekking poles to turn the tent into free standing if I have an issue with stakes. Nice stuff, good luck with yours
