[pct-l] THIS is why... (was: Nikon D40X)

[OMullis]

Craig,

Try this link: http://home.comcast.net/~onbelaydave/Beartooths_2007_short_for_web.wmv  or maybe better yet, try it from here: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1021&message=25400422, which is the original site at which I ran across it.

I see my original pasted-in URL somehow substituted "%&" for a "~"... also FWIW, neither of these worked for me in Firefox... but work OK in IE.
In IE this link takes me into a Windows "open or save this file" dialog box... I opened it but did not save it locally.  In any case, I don't know how to go about posting it to YouTube or similar sites.

And most amazing: this was a 25-day "self-supporting" trek (no re-supplies) and his starting pack weight was 86 pounds, and he says hisgear was rated as UL!  He took 25 days of food, shelter, fishing AND photography gear...  So much for the "it's about hiking or it's about XYZ" train of thought!

  Is there anyway you could upload that to YouTube or some other video sharing site. The link you gave redirects me to a local file. Presumably that works your your computer because it is your local file, but it isn't on my computer, so I see nothing :-(

    I am absolutely taking my D70 gear along on my PCT-Or section hike next fall:

    Don't know how Beartooths-Montana compares to PCT-Or, but I know the gear he took (Nikon D2X, 17-55mm, 75-300mm, and apparently a decent tripod) weighs quite a bit more than the kit I'll be carrying. 
     
    I disagree with certain other PCT-Lers who have said a hike has be either about hiking or about photography, take your pick, one or the other, but not both... it can and will be about both, for me.  I am at the point in my life where I can afford to buy ultralight gear to offset the weight penalty that so many perceive as excessive in a DSLR kit over a point-&-shoot, and I wouldn't seriously consider going without my photography gear._______________________________________________
