I was really intersted in gloves, i hate when my hands freeze. Question...Do you fit the GH5 and the Canon with all lenses in the bag? or are you always vlogging so you don't put the GH5 in the bag?
Honestly, this time around, considering your destination and the cold, wet weather, I thought the "software" was more interesting than the "hardware" tech. :-) Thanks again for an interesting video.
Trying to get camera gear into carry-on is always a challenge! This is especially true when packing for a dive trip and trying to get cameras, lenses & the housings into a carry-on (but I found a way to do it). Have fun in Iceland with BvS & remind him I want a filter kit!
Try not to lose your new drone on this trip. But if you did lose it I'm sure you would be as resourceful as last time and get it back. It is definitely amazing how much you've packed into literally two carry ons.
Hunh, never noticed before that you had a blog. Thanks for the link! 'What's in my bag' videos are my favourite, they get me day dreaming about packing for the next adventure :)
*” Hi I’m Greg Snell, l’m originally from Canada and I’ve been travelling the world for a year and a half now. Next I’m going to Iceland - sooo excited! So what do I pack for winter clothes? First and most importantly, hiking shorts! Cause, you know.... Canadian!”* 😄 Good onya, Greg. Maybe double check with Brendan, make sure he packed his Speedos.
Hey Greg - I’ve been following you on your TH-cam channel since around May or June last year. You’re videos are great! With you and Nellie, Brendan and Jodie, all the channels crossing over the way they do, it’s a bit like watching characters in a reality tv show! All of you have inspired me to reinvigorate my personal photographic efforts for this year. First step has been to start my Instagram account. Who knows, maybe TH-cam in the future...? Looking forward to some great images and videos from Iceland! Keep up the fabulous work!
Hey Greg king of the BVS B roll !! Serious load of kit to travel with i would be so worried airlines losing or damaging.great videos i go check out more. peace !
A really well thought out gear review, and really good to see a split between hardware and clothing. Picked up some tips and product ideas from this one Greg. Many thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. Greetings from the UK. Huw
I just can't wrap my head around how you can manage to live out of these small bags. I really need to up my game when it comes to packing for trips. The Software-Side is really interesting 'cause we hear all about hardware in every other channel. It would be wise for outdoor/travel/nature-photographers/videographers to invest in high-quality soft gear instead of yet another lens or technical gimmick. Next week I'll hit my local outdoor store! Have fun in Iceland!
Best room you've ever had... even the curtain (singular) is amazing. 😂😂😂 Hadn't been here for a while so tuned in.... just in time for the Iceland experience... can't wait. Enjoy buddy... 😎
Steve!!! Welcome back man :) Yes Iceland so far has been the tits bananas. First vid from the trip goes live on Wednesday. Also Jodie publishes one tonight, so go check out her channel for some of the first BTS from the tour.
Even though I saw it, I still don't believe you get all that kit in those two tiny bags, I really need to learn to pack properly! Thanks for the video, looking forward to Iceland.
I like how you pack all that in small bags, i go away for 1 week snowboard and can fill a big 20kg bag with crap. Stoked for you knowing you got the aurora on like night 1!
I'm pleased to see that you are using the 5DmkIII. I bought mine the day it was launched. It has been the mainstay of my photography business and in addition has made a number of great short films. I love it. I have the same lenses in my kit except I have the 35-105L instead of 35-70. I find that that is a more useful lens given its wider range.
Hello everyone, this video is really great and inspiring,so interesting to see how you prep for a long shoot. Awesome.Thanks for sharing(new sub from BVS channel)😎😎👍👍
Looking forward to Iceland vids, but the real question is how you get such good haircuts when travelling. Loved the text added in edit too FURRY LAYER BOOM YEAH
Tetris has turned out to be the most useful game played as a kid. Packing game is on point 👌 Also....where do you keep all this cold weather stuff when you’re traveling to warm weather places? Do you carry it around with you regardless of destination?
Phew! You did such a good job at packing these things up, that I was afraid that you are going to pack yourself inside, too. ;) I'm looking forward to follow your Icelandic adventure here, and on BvS' channel, as well.
REALLY looking forward to the Iceland updates from you all. Was there in March of last year for a week and was lucky to see the Aurora myself. BEYOND epic! Used the same map as well! Hope to head there some summer for the entire loop around the island and those LONG days of light as well. Best of luck!
When you see it all laid out, it certainly looks like it will never fit in the bag and case but I guess your well drilled in that art. Still looking for that perfect or near perfect camera bag so thats a quest that will continue this year. Hope you get good light in Iceland and you bag some great images and video
Yes I am also looking for that bag so let me know when you find it :) Iceland is cold and so much fun to explore, chasing that light. The art of Tetris.
Hey Greg, Looking forward to seeing your content from Iceland! I appreciate you doing this video. Its always good to see what gear is used by professionals especially when space is tight. It really shows what is necessary to get the job done. I have a question about your 5dmk3, I currently own the Nikon D750 with is virtually the same as the 5D and I am wanting to get a camera for video. My question is what you are going to do when your 5d mk3 packs in? Do you like having a dedicated camera for photos and one for video or do you see yourself maybe getting a camera that suits both? I am trying to decide whether to sell my D750 for a hybrid camera like the A7iii (I'm not heavily invested in Nikon glass) or keep it and buy something like the GH5. What would you recommend? Thanks!
Seriously think someone should start a vlog/channel dedicated to how to pack bags for travel. :D Starts with: All that won't fit in two bags. Ends with: Are you a wizard?
Very cold is anything under -10 Celsius. We've got another Florida boy on this trip, Justin Miller, he's suffering ;) Jokes, he's doing great and LOVES the cold!! Jajaja.
It rarely go below -10c in Iceland but the wind can be bitterly cold so it feels a lot worse. Being Icelandic but living now in Finland then I prefer the -30c that I have experienced here to -10c and strong northerly wind in Iceland😳
I've always problem with tripod and the weather protection of the bag. If the weather protection is fitted, I cannot anymore get the tripod secured on the bag... Any tip for that?
Hi Greg, an excellent video on what you are taking to Iceland, just one question if I may - Do you have any vignetting issues using the Lee 100mm system on lenses with a 82mm filter thread? Many thanks.
Excellent video, amazing you can pack all your stuff in only two bags!! Maybe you should comment on you own video's aswell, to get some Lee filters from BVS (-;
Me too!!! Honestly some don't even look at the backpack, they just assume it's a personal item. I'm always set up in a way that I can check the rollie case though. No neither meet the weight allowance, but when does your luggage ever get weighed at the gate?
@@dereknash3638 Derek, with online check in we go straight to the gate. No need to wait to check bags at the counter before security. Unless you think having the two carry ons could potentially be an issue, or a baggage allowance is already included.
Just curious, living nomadic how do you store your out of season stuff? Do you keep storage somewhere that you return to regularly? Thanks for the interesting videos.
Hi Greg, can you tell how well (if at all) the Lumix 7-14mm can handle the weather? I'll start and save up for an Ultra-wide-angle lens for my Lumix system but sadly they are all very expensive. The Lumix 7-14mm is the cheapest but also the only one without weather sealing. Cheers from Germany =)
Quick question for you about batteries. I'm going up Kilimanjaro next week, and I know that cold batteries lose charge quicker than warm ones, but what about storing them? They won't lose charge by just being in my bag so long as I warm them up before using them, right?
Dude awesome!! I summited Kili in 2012, its a beast. What route are you doing? Depends on your batteries. Sony dies quicker. Canon and Nikon last longer but you still want at least four. Best to keep them in your jacket pocket or pant pocket to keep them warm during the final days especially.
@@gregorsnell But yeah. I'm planning on keeping three on me, but I have another 3 that I think I'll leave in my big bag with my battery packs. Does that sound sensible?
This is the best comment. The best. You have never seen a better comment. Never. No one here can make as good of a comment as I can. No one here has better or more bigly words than I do. I have the best words, the best comments. I am the best. As you can see, I can use words. I'm very good at using words. Some people say I can't use words but they are fake news. I use the best words. The biggest words. All of the words. I have used every single word in this comment, and that is why it is the best comment. I should win the contest because I have the best comment and all of the other comments are bad. Sad.
For all this gear follow this link snellmedia.com/blog/my-gear-list-2018/
I was really intersted in gloves, i hate when my hands freeze. Question...Do you fit the GH5 and the Canon with all lenses in the bag? or are you always vlogging so you don't put the GH5 in the bag?
Great vlog Greg, loved watching you prepare to ''chill out'' !
Never party with the Elves, always say no! Good luck with the Northern Lights.

Good luck with the northern lights! Stay warm! Rock on!
Wow all that in two bags seems not possible but that’s how a pro does it 👍
Congrats on 10,000 buddy And Thank Brendan to inform your Channel !
Missed opportunity. Hardware vs soft wear... Looking forward to seeing all the killer B-role. Keep it up, sir.
Great video like always Greg! I’m so excited to see your side of the BVS Iceland tour!!!

Greg, your luggage bags are just like Mary poppins bag. Disney should of used this Iceland trip as the sequel. Much luv David Owen williams
Just went on a three day trip to Santa Cruz and the pre dawn temps made me shiver. I can't imagine Iceland.
Came for Brendan's giveaway, stayed for the great info. Love the videos 👍
Wow. All that in two small carry ons? You are a master packer.

Very nice compact rig Greg! Just curious how you manage your clothing inventory while you’re on the road. Glad that BvS pointed me over here.
Phew! You did such a good job at packing these things up, that I was afraid that you are going to pack yourself inside, too. ;)
I'm looking forward to follow your Icelandic adventure here, and on BvS' channel, as well.

I'll be here in June as well, excited to explore those long summer days as well :) Thanks for the great comment Mike.
Thanks for sharing!
Maybe on your next Iceland trip you should bring a gumboot like Brendan did :D
Hope you won't encounter a very strong northerly wind while you are in Iceland as I'm a bit afraid you don't have warm enough cloths.
I'd better win the tripod if you don't to plunge to recover my newly won Lee filters. BvS had his share :-)
Professional pack job rolling clothes. Nice jeans.
Thanks JLG!! 🙌 You're my hero.
Don't forget to pack a thermal swimsuit! Or wait.. nah, it's more fun to see a Canadian shiver.
You should have packed a air of chest-hight waders for BvS's water fording experience! #BvSIceland

Always love packing videos. No joke.
As a Florida boy though, what do you consider very cold?
Very cold is anything under -10 Celsius. We've got another Florida boy on this trip, Justin Miller, he's suffering ;) Jokes, he's doing great and LOVES the cold!! Jajaja.
Greg Snell -10😫. Sounds like death...
