00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,010
Kevin Bae: And welcome back to
the casual hike this episode is

2
00:00:17,010 --> 00:00:22,110
from the first day of spring
March 20 2023 just kind of

3
00:00:22,110 --> 00:00:25,680
walking around my neighborhood I
was experimenting with an Insta

4
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,320
360 camera for making YouTube
videos so I will link to that

5
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,070
video in the show notes and
check this out hope you enjoy it

6
00:00:37,410 --> 00:00:39,000
see the neighborhood

7
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:48,690
let's see how this goes for a
guy

8
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:54,600
to sunny

9
00:01:01,230 --> 00:01:08,130
so let's test out the wireless
go to and my Insta 360 Camera

10
00:01:10,140 --> 00:01:16,170
sounds gonna work I've got both
microphones hooked up one of my

11
00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:20,160
shirt and one and the selfie
stick with the little mini dead

12
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:28,740
cat want to see if it gets the
background noise or the

13
00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:34,170
background sounds I guess I
shouldn't be called noise as

14
00:01:34,170 --> 00:01:38,100
well as my own microphone

15
00:01:47,610 --> 00:01:53,220
now pardon my breath because
it's been a while since I've

16
00:01:53,220 --> 00:02:00,270
walked this dog is only the
second day starting to walk them

17
00:02:00,270 --> 00:02:11,130
again after about six months of
of not so the hills in the

18
00:02:11,130 --> 00:02:16,590
neighborhood here are a bit much
I'm not I haven't conditioned

19
00:02:16,590 --> 00:02:17,310
myself again

20
00:02:26,610 --> 00:02:28,320
so you can hear a lot of heavy
breathing

21
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:49,020
so I'd like to see how this
whole setup works and the hikes

22
00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:53,850
I go with I go on with Godfrey
out in the mountains or on the

23
00:02:53,850 --> 00:02:57,870
trails so let's just run the
neighborhood

24
00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:08,130
it'll be kind of a good little
test I hope

25
00:03:23,220 --> 00:03:27,660
all right Gopi that's the
official command by the way go

26
00:03:27,660 --> 00:03:27,990
pee

27
00:03:52,650 --> 00:03:55,230
Godfrey does not like the camera
over the top of his head

28
00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:07,080
suspicious of it so we'll just
move it back out we could test

29
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,680
the wind

30
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,110
so hi that looks

31
00:04:26,970 --> 00:04:27,540
how's it going

32
00:04:34,860 --> 00:04:45,990
some hoping to see too with a
setup. I can record audio that's

33
00:04:45,990 --> 00:04:51,510
longer form without the video.
For Podcasting purposes for

34
00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:55,800
audio only. I know when I turn
the camera on it picks up the

35
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:04,020
audio from the microphones. Just
be use for use on the video

36
00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:16,260
pardon my throat clearing some
hidden get the my subdivision

37
00:05:16,380 --> 00:05:26,790
subdivision speak clearly duffel
Hills nothing's flat I'm either

38
00:05:26,790 --> 00:05:32,460
going up or I'm going down right
now it's on a pillow and of

39
00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:38,340
course my dog has to stop and
take a dump right at this moment

40
00:05:41,220 --> 00:05:49,710
even though I let him out before
I go on a walk Jesse would get

41
00:05:49,710 --> 00:05:56,670
this over with before we go he
never does think it's his fan

42
00:05:56,670 --> 00:06:02,580
club sure the sound of his bag
is really pleasant

43
00:06:15,420 --> 00:06:24,150
started away now the bonus with
this microphone and camera setup

44
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:30,360
at least the way I have it I
handle the level ear mic going

45
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:37,080
into a zoom F to field recorder
which is recording separate

46
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:43,770
audio on an SD card and then
that's the output of that goes

47
00:06:43,770 --> 00:06:50,850
into the wireless go to and then
I also have the second

48
00:06:50,850 --> 00:06:55,950
microphone on selfie stick for
the Insta 360 camera

49
00:07:02,010 --> 00:07:11,970
not too far from the wireless go
to and then the wireless go to

50
00:07:11,970 --> 00:07:19,530
goes right into the camera so
this way I should be able to

51
00:07:19,530 --> 00:07:27,900
record just straight audio this
random blather while I'm walking

52
00:07:28,860 --> 00:07:32,700
without having to constantly
record video

53
00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:43,560
so the object the object is so I
can have a longer form for an

54
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,860
audio podcast where maybe you
get all the sounds of me walking

55
00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:58,560
around with a stupid dog and I
lost my train of thought that

56
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,610
happens to me all the time while
walking I'm looking around

57
00:08:02,610 --> 00:08:06,960
looking at different things and
I just lose lose track all right

58
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:13,920
let's extend this again let's
see how this goes all right.

59
00:09:24,210 --> 00:09:29,220
This is this is quite the hill I
think I just hit the dog with

60
00:09:29,220 --> 00:09:36,720
the camera. This is a pretty
good hill I think it's one of

61
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:43,290
the steepest that I walk because
it's it's short but it's pretty

62
00:09:43,290 --> 00:09:43,830
good incline

63
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:19,650
You're going to reach the top

64
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:30,930
the temperature is perfect it's
like maybe about 50 degrees or

65
00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:32,880
so maybe a little over

66
00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:50,340
should not neglect to walk
Godfrey here because kind of

67
00:10:50,340 --> 00:10:58,290
conditions me for the bigger
hikes with all these hills but

68
00:10:58,290 --> 00:10:59,520
I've been lazy have late

69
00:11:07,110 --> 00:11:10,620
neighbors say hello

70
00:11:19,290 --> 00:11:21,150
now we're going down a long hill
this one

71
00:11:27,810 --> 00:11:32,700
this is the longest hill but
it's more gradual than the

72
00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:33,180
others

73
00:11:38,190 --> 00:11:40,080
you only feel that on the way
back because right now I'm going

74
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:40,470
down

75
00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:49,890
okay Gopi

76
00:12:14,850 --> 00:12:18,330
I'm trying to move this camera
through the trees with a selfie

77
00:12:18,330 --> 00:12:20,910
stick like it's a drone but I
have to watch at the same time

78
00:12:20,910 --> 00:12:28,080
because people at the dogs poop
here and don't don't necessarily

79
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,730
pick it up it's like a landmine.

80
00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:20,670
Now on our walk in the
subdivision there are of course

81
00:13:20,670 --> 00:13:27,570
no garbage cans so I have to
keep his poop securely sealed in

82
00:13:27,780 --> 00:13:30,030
a pocket if it's not in the
summer

83
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:42,330
but there's only to maybe three
real designated places where you

84
00:13:42,330 --> 00:13:46,320
can go to the bathroom where
it's kind of no man's land

85
00:13:47,070 --> 00:13:52,320
otherwise it's everybody's
property and I've never been

86
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,300
comfortable in that my dog
create waste and other people's

87
00:13:57,300 --> 00:14:04,680
properties because I don't want
it myself and but I do pick it

88
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:08,670
up which is not a big customer
that I guess here I don't see a

89
00:14:08,670 --> 00:14:09,600
lot of people picking up.

90
00:14:49,980 --> 00:14:57,300
Come to the end of the road. The
end of the subdivision with the

91
00:14:57,660 --> 00:15:03,030
biggest lot in the area it's
like four acres from what I saw

92
00:15:03,030 --> 00:15:10,200
online with like its own walking
trails in the back. That's this

93
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:15,870
place here. Which of course you
can only see if you're looking

94
00:15:15,870 --> 00:15:19,230
at video so I don't know why I
just pointed to it and

95
00:15:19,230 --> 00:15:19,860
referenced it

96
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:40,080
that kind of move I just swept
the camera up above Godfreys

97
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:47,160
head that can spook them but I'm
hoping to get them used to it

98
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:53,970
because if I use this thing out
while we're hiking, I'd want

99
00:15:53,970 --> 00:15:59,070
them not to get spooked and just
kind of ignore it he's doing

100
00:15:59,070 --> 00:16:01,980
pretty good considering his
first time I've used this and

101
00:16:01,980 --> 00:16:06,360
I'm putting it pretty close to
his head the other thing I'm

102
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,950
interested to see with this
whole setup is that I really

103
00:16:10,950 --> 00:16:13,260
think it using the latest
software for this stuff

104
00:16:19,050 --> 00:16:23,760
I know it's supposed to be
simple but it's like I put in

105
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,750
the video and there's maybe I'm
just used to like I guess the

106
00:16:27,750 --> 00:16:30,900
old school stuff where you're
gonna have to do everything for

107
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:35,640
yourself and a lot of this just
kind of happens automatically

108
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:42,360
select clips and you let the
software do its job and it's

109
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,230
it's difficult for me I feel
like maybe the loss of control

110
00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:52,860
is a problem we'll see I'm gonna
give it a shot

111
00:16:57,930 --> 00:17:00,000
I'm doing this in multiple clips
over the walk

112
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:13,140
to see if that helps me put it
together All right now we're

113
00:17:13,140 --> 00:17:19,080
entering the longest Hill this
is the one we just finished

114
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,700
walking down now we're walking
back up

115
00:17:25,980 --> 00:17:30,960
pretty much after this one is
done the rest is easy

116
00:17:52,290 --> 00:17:59,820
quit the walk the entire walk
when I do the whole thing it's a

117
00:17:59,820 --> 00:18:06,660
couple of miles maybe takes
roughly 45 minutes or so an hour

118
00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:18,750
depending on the heat humidity
my level of energy was pretty

119
00:18:18,750 --> 00:18:26,040
decent walk. know back when I
lived in the Chicago area. I

120
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:32,040
would walk Godfrey just about
every day. It's all flat. So we

121
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:38,460
do probably three miles or so
stop off at a park where you

122
00:18:38,460 --> 00:18:42,600
could then play fetch Tiger
himself out and then we go home.

123
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,760
But here we're not next to a
park so he doesn't have that

124
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:53,520
luxury anymore. But I'll tell
you these hills as him and I

125
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:59,220
both get old it's I think it's
enough

126
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:16,110
which we are the same age now.
I'm 56 He's eight. So that means

127
00:19:16,110 --> 00:19:18,900
we're about the same

128
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,440
if you count dog years in the
traditional sense

129
00:19:34,110 --> 00:19:41,190
we just finished the biggest
hill going around the corner to

130
00:19:41,190 --> 00:19:47,520
head back towards home. When
that quakes we take one final

131
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,240
side street take that to the
end.

132
00:20:34,650 --> 00:20:41,190
came around to the corner on the
last side street neighbor

133
00:20:46,410 --> 00:20:47,550
the German Shepherd

134
00:20:58,530 --> 00:20:59,910
guys got a really nice boat

135
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:16,410
StarCraft think that's what it
is it's really nice red stripe

136
00:21:18,090 --> 00:21:19,530
red canopy over the top

137
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:38,640
got a little music going got a
little fire going enjoying cool

138
00:21:38,670 --> 00:21:47,010
evening and I got a lady came
down our street saw me and

139
00:21:47,010 --> 00:21:52,410
Godfrey maybe took a look at the
selfie camera and totally on a

140
00:21:52,410 --> 00:22:00,930
stick turn right around and went
back nobody wants to be on

141
00:22:00,930 --> 00:22:08,880
camera not even me I say even me
like like I usually love being

142
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,030
in front of the camera I hate
it. I don't even know why I do

143
00:22:12,030 --> 00:22:18,600
it as a big ass frog. A big
terracotta frog in front of the

144
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:19,050
house

145
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:29,370
meanwhile, we have we have
actual frogs and toads that come

146
00:22:29,370 --> 00:22:36,360
visit the patio below my deck at
night we had a tree frog living

147
00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:44,010
in an old PVC pipe that I have
yet to trim off I don't know if

148
00:22:44,010 --> 00:22:47,220
I should trim it because he's
living in there but it looks

149
00:22:47,220 --> 00:22:55,830
ugly. The old owners of my house
had some kind of a pond and he

150
00:22:55,830 --> 00:22:59,760
had pipes going from the water
spigot into that pond and then

151
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,710
they covered it all up and
filled in with concrete and left

152
00:23:01,710 --> 00:23:07,530
the pipe sticking out it's now
got these beautiful white PVC

153
00:23:07,530 --> 00:23:13,230
pipes unevenly cut not capped
off just sit in there

154
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,610
if I can ever verify that the
frog has moved out cut the pipes

155
00:23:23,610 --> 00:23:33,450
and kept on being the warm and
nature loving person everybody

156
00:23:33,450 --> 00:23:34,350
knows that I am

157
00:23:41,820 --> 00:23:45,600
leave it there so you can live
when I'm just too lazy to cut

158
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,430
the pipe take your pick

159
00:23:52,860 --> 00:24:00,930
Now I mentioned like they have
different recordings, audio and

160
00:24:00,930 --> 00:24:06,180
audio for the video. But the
reason is is the reason is is

161
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:11,130
reason is video can't be that
long people get bored especially

162
00:24:11,130 --> 00:24:15,030
just walking around. Even if you
like the nature scenes I don't

163
00:24:15,030 --> 00:24:24,150
think most people are gonna want
to see an hour or two of trail

164
00:24:24,150 --> 00:24:24,720
walking

165
00:24:31,980 --> 00:24:39,210
when you know maybe 10 minutes
1520 is the most but the audio

166
00:24:39,210 --> 00:24:43,830
part I can cut that up all the
blank spots. Leave a lot of the

167
00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:48,420
just plain walking in with no
with no talking. And I think

168
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:52,560
that would be fine for the
podcast I'm putting together

169
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,250
because it's really just me
walking through the woods with

170
00:24:56,250 --> 00:25:04,260
the sounds saying a few things
of About the trail itself what

171
00:25:04,260 --> 00:25:09,150
it looks like what's happening
you get the sounds of the water

172
00:25:09,150 --> 00:25:13,170
and everything that can be
longer form half an hour maybe

173
00:25:13,170 --> 00:25:22,920
an hour but the video can't be
so if I have two sets of audio

174
00:25:24,210 --> 00:25:28,440
but yeah I don't have to do
anything special I just keep

175
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,590
talking and then the audio
that's captured on the videos

176
00:25:31,590 --> 00:25:37,620
there and when the video is off
I just get to play an audio for

177
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:39,990
podcasting purposes

178
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:59,010
so I just finished the last okay
connection is not supported

179
00:25:59,790 --> 00:26:04,680
during quick capture I hit quick
capture it means do that turn

180
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:05,220
that off

181
00:26:10,590 --> 00:26:11,250
try that again

182
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,540
I don't know I must have hit a
button that wasn't paying

183
00:26:21,540 --> 00:26:27,330
attention to anyway we just
finished last call the SEC now

184
00:26:27,330 --> 00:26:30,660
we just finished off the street
turn corner turn another corner

185
00:26:30,660 --> 00:26:38,970
and then the last hill and then
we're home I wonder what the

186
00:26:38,970 --> 00:26:43,590
angles are supposed to be any
selfies? I know all the I have

187
00:26:43,590 --> 00:26:49,770
not that savvy with angles
lighting it's too much to think

188
00:26:49,770 --> 00:26:59,010
about I just kind of want to do
it whatever happens happens

189
00:26:59,730 --> 00:27:03,870
hopefully it's halfway decent
that's also why I'm getting

190
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,020
trying to get these other pieces
of equipment

191
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,080
here the woodpecker

192
00:27:24,270 --> 00:27:26,820
anyway that's how I'm getting
these new pieces of equipment

193
00:27:26,820 --> 00:27:31,740
because they do things that
maybe my phone just can't do or

194
00:27:31,740 --> 00:27:33,750
it takes a lot of work I'm just
gonna see if I can throw these

195
00:27:33,750 --> 00:27:39,270
things in the in the app that
comes with the camera and see

196
00:27:39,270 --> 00:27:43,440
what he can give me hoping I
don't have to do a lot of work

197
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:43,800
for it

198
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,020
up there somewhere in that pine

199
00:28:18,750 --> 00:28:25,110
comes in Amazon truck ready to
kill us stay tight Godfrey

200
00:28:47,790 --> 00:28:50,430
something bigs happening in that
house I don't know what

201
00:29:02,490 --> 00:29:04,500
second last till almost at the
top

202
00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:55,770
right almost done. Cut the last
till the climb Hello

203
00:30:06,390 --> 00:30:12,780
We go up the last hill Oh pray
we don't get killed

204
00:30:19,199 --> 00:30:19,649
here I'm

205
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:39,180
gonna put a fence everywhere
around their whole yard neat

206
00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:43,680
next door neighbor

207
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,900
this house over here on my left
just sold and people just moved

208
00:30:54,900 --> 00:30:57,180
in so I don't know if these are
the new people or not

209
00:31:13,890 --> 00:31:24,210
you all right, all downhill from
here that's my house with the

210
00:31:24,210 --> 00:31:26,970
jeep. If you're seeing on video,
I'm gonna see if I can pull some

211
00:31:26,970 --> 00:31:30,270
snapshots from this, some
stills. I'm not sure how any of

212
00:31:30,270 --> 00:31:36,840
this works yet. Hopefully I can
I can include that in the

213
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:48,510
chapter images. So we come to
the end of the walk. This was

214
00:31:48,510 --> 00:31:53,580
truly a casual like walking the
dog doesn't get more casual than

215
00:31:53,580 --> 00:32:00,450
that. Well, that was the walk
around the neighborhood. I hope

216
00:32:00,450 --> 00:32:03,960
you enjoyed it. I'm trying to
tighten this up and figure out

217
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:09,180
easier ways to record these so
hopefully I can get more

218
00:32:09,180 --> 00:32:14,010
episodes up a little bit more
quickly. But until the next time

219
00:32:15,450 --> 00:32:16,260
go for a walk
