Video

I've been watching Cliff for a few years after 8 yrs of no elk shot a bull 4 yrs in a row. Watching Gritty, first year hunting bears, found 6 bears. All good stuff, good guys, good information.

Good session here. Do you guys film 24, 30 or 60 majority the time? 4k obviously. And how do you quickly switch lenses or keep them easily accessible?

That’s a horse with paddles

A great accomplishment, and respect for the harvesting. Hopefully, two will come from this one in the future. Be grateful 🙏 and stay safe and healthy!

What lenses would you recommend for filming with an iPhone 15? Wanting to start filming this fall and like the simplicity of the phone to get my feet wet. Thank you

Wendigo was here

Wonder if there is a propane burner you could put inside the stove when you don't have wood supply. As long as you are heating the inside of stove that should keep the moisture down. Definitely like wood heat though. I can get my canvas tent to 80° pretty easily with the wood stove.

357 magnum in your empty beer jar smoke it at 22 poor bastard

@the_wild_cheechakos must follow!

I also am a cannon guy…my Archery lens is the 70-200 f4. For stand use.

Great stuff…I use the variable ND…never had a problem though.

AwSum ! . .

Hey Brian. Could you recommend an outfitter in Montana or Idaho for a drop camp bear hunt in the spring?

Great content. This video is inspiring me to do a Caribou hunt. Any suggestions on where to start looking and areas?

Thanx

Next stop 8k! Probably next Sony update or Nikon Z8 now. Good to get insight into how your doing your video. Not sure why camera manufactures don't include bluetooth headphone capability. There are a bunch of low cost bluetooth transmitters that you could just zip tie or fasten to your camera cage that would plug into the standard headphone jack, then use bluetooth headphones. Might be worth experimenting with that. Guess we will keep asking for bluetooth headphones. Had to laugh about the Sony 2-6 and 1-4. Nothing can make up for your creativity though. Doing great. The JC tripod is interesting. I'm glad I'm not the only one interesting in your video/camera rig.

Good podcast & great info. I Subscribed immediately after watching that intro on The kodiak island sitka blacktail deer hunt, Epic.

As much as I love hunting I’ve found myself, more in a soaking up the moment by any means necessary, headspace. I like all your videos very much. So thank you for this video as I attempt to pursue the hunts in something deeper than the harvest to me.

Love watching Samong vids. Good stuff.

Hello! My name is Connor Colbert and I recently just moved to Utah. I was thinking if there is a possible way I could work with and be a part of your team and brand Gritty. I love everything you guys do in your films and podcasts and also what the brand Gritty stands for. I would love to help expand your brand and help people in my generation understand what it means to be gritty and help people in life and in hunting. For my background, I recently just got out of being in the military for 4.5 years. I was in the Army as an Airborne Infantryman and I was stationed in JBER Alaska. I spent a lot of time jumping out of planes in frigid temperatures, climbing mountains, and a lot of time in the Alaskan backcountry. There, I was met with plenty of encounters with bears, moose, and wolves. Some good and some bad haha. While in Alaska is where I fell in love with big game hunting and grew an addiction for it. Growing up I did mostly waterfowl and small game hunting. With the little off time I had, I was able tag along on a few moose hunts and it was an amazing experience. I've come to love every little detail that goes into a backcountry hunt. It has a lot of correlation to what I did for my job in the Army. Especially the logistical planning and dealing with the maps and execution of the plan. I am no stranger to being in the woods or on top of the mountain chasing after a predator. I love being able to do very hard things and being uncomfortable. I believe it's the only way to be fulfilled in life. I would love to be a part of your team and brand and to be able to help the world by showing and doing all things Gritty. Sincerely, Connor Colbert

If all you're doing is cooking MRE and coffee have you ever thought about using 90% rubbing alcohol as the fuel? It's not hard to build a stove to burn it in.

Awesome video as usual. I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time. I know it probably won’t get the view numbers that most your videos do, but thank you for getting this info out there. I do have a couple questions though. 1. How do you protect and carry the gimbal on or in your pack when not in use? 2. How do you protect and carry your 200-600 when not in use? Thanks again.

Seems like a great place to hunt with quality bears, glad you made some lifelong memories

Fine shot. Which organ did you hit, exactly?

How did I miss this! Ughhh

That’s a lot of stuff to haul around. And even more to learn how to use. Your films reflect the hard work you’ve done!

Awesome information all around! Really love seeing the dedication to the actual “filmmaking” instead of just filming.

If you want a bit more stability on the mic, grab the XLR mic handle that is for the FX3/30. It can screw mount onto the threaded holes on the small rig cage and provide a lot stability. It also doubles as a top handle to be able to hold from above for low angle shots.

You guys consider the DJI Mic2 with 32 bit float? Has the hot shoe option. You could also add a shotgun via xlr to 3.5 to the transmitter. Less part to break.

I’ve just started filming and this helped a ton! Thanks for the info.

Thank you guys for sharing the knowledge. Definitely learned a lot from this to try in the fall.

Great tip about the audio getting quiet while using headphones. Man I have 3 videos with basically no sound

I’ve been slowly upgrading my film equipment so this podcast was very helpful. I’m interested in the film school. I hope you do an online version or come out east for one of the school.

As always, love the content. Appreciate you posting this!

Brian you’re absolutely correct in good audio is more important than the picture. Having a guy filming for you or a partner that is on the same page as filming is invaluable for great videos. I’m taking my GH4 w/ 14-140mm lens, GoPro 11, and iPhone/phone skope on my solo sheep hunt next month, caribou in September, and mountain goat hunts in October. Hoping to be able to put out something just half the quality as what you and Brad do.

Great episode. Thanks for sharing the info. I’m definitely interested in the film school when that comes available.

Great conversation! As an East Coast hunter that travels west every other year to chase elk solo for 10-15 days off my back, you're spot on that there are not many people that can do that. On Cliff's channel he talked about this. I had a few people reach out to me, asking if they could go hunting with me, and most people are tapping out between day 5-7. Assuming they are treating themselves good with food, mental fortitude, not afraid of the dark, and the like. Regarding trying to hunt with more seasoned hunters, I have a saying that you are the average of your friends. This is applicable to school, work, sports, hunting and the like.

Sweet! Been waiting on this one!

Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for this one!

very good information... I been using the Sony a74 and GoPro 12's... hoping to get some videos up soon.

Thanks guys for doing this one. Need to pick your minds on the camera I got to start filming my hunts. Have all kinds of questions. I need all the help I can get with this. Good luck at the elk tour this weekend wish I could make it. Going on a backpacking trip with my son. I’ll hit you up Brad with some questions.

Nice buck!!

Carter did make it before
