The Mavic Pro has a fairly robust gyro in its camera mount. And it is a powerful little beast, and, if I would learn to implememt a few basic programs, the thing would fly itself in a straight line, or spiral or whatever, and not jog all over the place in the wind. Thanks for watching and writing, Jan. Cordially
Wow, Caddl; good eye! I noticed that feature as I was editing but was unaware of it at the time. Looks to could be the remains of a structure, and might be associated with Tableland. Never much there, as I recall. Thanks for watching and writing, and identifying a mystery. Cool. Take care. Cordially, Skyleo
Hi there! Just found your channel today as I was searching to find the town Hawarden and came across a video of your about the town. It was great insight and very helpful to me as I was thinking of buying a property there. Actually the old church ! But ya I am now a subscriber of yours and learning lots about all these (until now) unknown to me, towns of Saskatchewan. I will share your video channel with other members of my family who I think will really enjoy learning and seeing these obscure towns of the province. I myself am from dalmeny. Not to obscure but still was voted runner as most "middle of nowhere" town in a spoof article from the Mennonite website..." The Daily Bonnet" which a fellow Mennonite showed me a few years back. Where did you grow up? Have you gotten close to completing a video on all the towns you set out to do yet ? Or what is your trajectory on videos this year? Thanks again for the content🌞🕊️
Thanks for the boost, Richene, and I hope that your family enjoys some of my vids. I that I have Dalremy "in the can," so to speak: shot but awaiting editing. I'm a bit behind, still buried in places that I did back in 2016. What is my trajectory? Hmm. Hard to say. Have a trip planned in West Central this summer, and recognize that I have so much more to do (and re-do) that, likely, I won't get 'em all. Drat! Thanks for watching and writing (and subscribing, of course). Take care and Keep well. Cordially, Don Wilson
@@HomeTownSaskatchewan well if you ever need some help you let me know! I would love to learn how to edit films and of course it would be cool to check out some of these towns if you want to partner at some point haha
Shows you can make a compelling film of all kinds of things. Going down that long, straight, flat rail road track held my attention exactly as I'd never have suspected it would have.
Some day, Anthony, Some day I will get the hang of flying tht thing down a straight line. Some day. Soon, I hope. But, in my defence, it was a briskly breezed day. At least i kept it out of the trees. Well; bushes. Thanks for watching and writing. Take care. Cordially, Don Wilson
See how along the tracks where they leave it alone, they have trees and shrubs? I bet the entire province in the south would look like that if not for the intervention of mankind.
They say not, Bruce. They say that in the time of the buffalo there was very little brush: it was either eaten down, or trampled. There were Millions of the beasts roaming pretty much at will. And there was also the occasional fire which would have been harder on brush than grass, I think. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting. Take care and Keep well. Cordially, Don Wilson
I find the opposite is the case. I farm and live in “Northwest” Saskatchewan (but really it’s west central Saskatchewan) only a couple miles south of a provincial forest. In the 1910s/1920s, many homesteaders had built their shacks from lumber hauled in from other sources and a few built soddies. It pretty much looked like Regina area up here in those days. Trees were far and few between and where the present Bronson Forest is, it was not much more than a few clumps of scattered poplar here and there. I think this practically disproves your thoughts on “farmers cutting bush down.” There was little to no bush where I’m at in the homestead days and now there is a very thick provincial forest a few miles north of me, and most of the sloughs have rings of willow and poplar. The bush didn’t really grow with much vigour here until the 1940s, much after the Dust Bowl days.
Birds singing so nice in Saskatchewan!!!❤🐦!

I'm impressed how the drone handled in those visibly strong winds!!

Hi
At 7:38 on the right we can see the remains of a building.
