Being an almost reformed geek from the old days of geekin’ I was very excited when my wife handed me my Yule gift. It was none other than a Creative Vado pocket video camera that is about the size of my Motorola cellphone.

I am totally enthralled with it. I have taken it into the woods and around but have not captured anything to share yet. I’ve got to get to the point where I know what is worth filming and what isn’t. There is enough crap on YouTube already without me contributing to it too.

Here’s a highlight of the features and specs of this thing:

• 1 to 2 hours of video capacity depending on recording quality.
• USB plug to transfer your videos to your machine directly.
• 2″ anti-glare screen. It’s actually visible in full sun.
• changeable and rechargeable battery – external charger available.

For the Bushcrafter that just wants to capture some action or put together that quick how-to or tracking video this little camera is the way to go. Check one out.

Being a kite flier and having been into traction kites for many years this totally appeals to me. It’s also the only reason I would get onto snow skis.

I’ve moved as you have obviously discovered. I’m gonna try this blog thing one more time…

Here we go.
