I went back in 2019 as well, Beaufort, SC T-200 609-C-01, we did Itinerary 33 and after watching this video it’s crazy how much I forgot about I miss that place so much, Great Video man!
If you can get one before you leave, bring a portable charger/power bank. When I went I had 5 GoPro batteries that lasted about 6 days total, but after that I needed to charge them, so I brought a 26800 mAh power bank by either Anker or some other company. They are heavy but it's 100% necessary unless you have 10+ gopro batteries. Some folks use solar powered battery packs, I think it's a bit of a gimmick but maybe by now they have gotten reliable. The bigger the better for battery capacity tho.
Hi kyle, I recommend going on shakedown hikes with your group (or just personal hikes) to practice using portable stoves if you lack experience there. This will also break in your boots if they are new. Other than that just follow packing lists and you should be ok. As far as cameras, a GoPro is what you want. A new one is "inexpensive" for what it can do. It's 4k or 5k video at 60fps, buttery smooth, rugged, long battery life, small batteries, and you can make it work if you know what you are doing. A DSLR might seem better (image quality) but it can be more of a hastle as well.
@@jackstevens9602 I just signed up with the OA, waiting to hear about what comes next. I currently have a few cheap go pros, but what I'm wondering is how did you charge them, what solar panels did you bring and battery packs did you use?
Boys i’m nervous about Philmont, i’m still undeceive on going. Don’t get me wrong I love backpacking but going almost 2 weeks, just doesn’t seem very appealing to me.
thank you, I used a GoPro hero 6 black for 99% of the footage (all backcountry footage) with the exception of 2-3 shots at base camp where I used a sony a99 mark ii.
@@bobber4160 I used fcpx (final cut pro X) and to color grade I first use a luma curve menu to fix exposure and stuff then I use a LUT (color base preset) to give it a stronger/moodier film look. That's why it doesn't look as classic GoPro like
Absolutely amazing cinematography
I was there in 1976. Best 10 days of my life.
One of the better videos I’ve seen, great job
Thanks man
I was there in 1977. Troop 309 San Angelo TX
Would love to see it now
As a '08 and '12 participant and '19 Logistics Staff this video brought back all the feels of how amazing Philmont is! #IWGBTP
Going tomorrow! I’m so siked video is amazing can’t wait for the great views during the day and under the stars!
This is a beautiful video. It brings back so many memories
Great video. Really captures the trip

I went there this summer it was pretty fun, I was on itinerary 19.
I hiked Philmont the summer of 2010. So much fun.
Hey friend another person from a trek in 2019. what an amazing place!
I was in crew 626J! We got in a day early, so we probably crossed paths!
Awesome.
Fabulous as always
Dude this was freaking sick! Your video made my day. I did OATC this summer at Philmont. It looks like our trek was kinda similar
Glad you liked it!
Thanks dude great vid
160 Lex represent! My friend from Kansas just told me about this video (I got my Eagle from 160 in 2012)
Niceee, I got mine in 2019, hope you liked the video
Yeah great video, Philmont was the best part of my experience!
Hey! Quick, stupid question. I am leaving in a few days, with a Hero 9. How do you keep it charged throughout the trek?
If you can get one before you leave, bring a portable charger/power bank.

@@jackstevens9602 thank you! I have a relatively small charger, but I can recharge it at our stops and rooms along the way. I’m leaving tomorrow! 👍
I'm planning on going this summer with the OA, any tips for preparing?
And if I go, I want to make a video on the experience to look back at, and good suggestions on what cameras to bring

@@kirchoffkyle I did not use a solar charger. I had 4 maybe 5 batteries and then a massive 28,000 mAh portable charger. This was total sufficient.
Sweet video! I carried a GoPro on my trek too, how were you able to fit a camera in your pack!?
I only brought the GoPro hero 6 with a stabilizer backcountry, the DSLR camera was only for the basecamp footage.

Mate its worth it. Give it a shot. I’m heading out this summer! Happy trails.
it is most definitely worth it. two weeks fly by when you're out there.
Go.
This was amazing! Your editing skills are superb. What did you use to record the footage?
thank you, I used a GoPro hero 6 black for 99% of the footage (all backcountry footage) with the exception of 2-3 shots at base camp where I used a sony a99 mark ii.
@@jackstevens9602 what did you use to put the video together and so the color grading?

Lucky. Our trek got cancelled because of covid
