>>1619471Funny thing, I didn't actually know anything about field recording. During my first hike yesterday (pic related), I mentioned your suggestion to my brother-in-law. He went nuts and insisted that I give it a try. Who knew he was so into field recordings? It actually seems like a neat idea, so I'll bust out the old recorder, mic, and dead cat one of these days.
>>1619535Also a great idea. I have been trying to journal some of the big emotional milestones since getting the devices so that I can really try and keep a good perspective of how far I've come and not fall back into the sedentary lifestyle that my disability fostered for the last decade and change.
>>1619538Thanks! My wife and I are actually photographers (used to be full time, but now it's just the side hustle) so I'll definitely be incorporating my camera into the bigger/nicer hikes moving forward.
>>1619540This is awesome! I'm already looking at each of the challenges and assessing which are feasible. I will attempt to not become a complete tool, but I guess there are no guarantees, right?
>>1619688Thanks - my build is 80% flesh, 20% carbon fiber.
So a little update: I have a short-term goal! There's a forest about 10 minutes from my house with about 12-15 trails between 1-6 miles each. My goal is to hike all of them (preferably before the new year, but we'll see). I've already done about three.
Last night I fucked up, though. After doing a really nice hike during the day, I decided to try my hand at some night walking. Like an idiot, I failed to check the weather. My wife told me it might drizzle. "A little water never killed me." I chose a gravel path instead of trail since I'm new to night walking in the devices. Fast forward to me walking the final mile of my night walk in pitch black darkness, severe thunderstorm drenching me, and the gravel path suddenly giving way to a regular trail. The good news is that now I know the devices can hold up in those conditions.
