    :Video:Hiking the Pinhoti Trail

    It's been two months or so since I've been able to go hiking. I finally got to get out in the woods and enjoy myself for a few days. Also, on this particular video I got a critique on the music loops being played in the video. (basically he said it was annoying) I really want to make good videos, so if I should keep or leave music please let me know. Thank you guys for taking the time to watch.

    Just my opinion, the music is fine. I think it serves to move forward, the beat I mean. If the video shows forward motion, then the music complements what we see. Haven't finished the whole video yet, but I do like those sunglasses and appreciate how you explain where you start your walk and which way you're moving. That helps those of us who live close enough to contemplate doing the same trail.

    Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your videos. The music in this video is a bit repetitive for my taste. Do you have any tracks of your trip so we can see what area you covered?

    Great Video, makes me want to get out myself. Music was fine, I liked the stop and go of it.

    I don't have anything logged as in GPS TRAILS but I started at the Cheaha trailhead and went North on the Pinhoti towards HWY 431 near Oxford.

    Thanks for the input , Do you think it was the particular music choice or just the music in general?

    Looks like you had a pleasant outing Jaxx. I'm gonna be over there for a couple days the end of next month but I'm going the other way. Probably down to Lake Chinnabee and back.

    I'm a bad one to comment cause I usually find music in hiking vids to be distracting. But yeah, it was repetitive and reminiscent of a bad porn movie...lol. You asked.

    Music is fine, but the broken record effect took over at around the 3rd or 4th go round, also I would say the selection seemed a little high tempo for a low key relaxing segments, Now if you were pumping out the miles and that's your jam so be it, just seemed out of place for the moment IMO. That aside thanks for sharing , some route info, like trail head, section mileage, and elevation profile is always a bonus. along with things that catch your eye.

    I like the music choice although I'd think about/reduce how many times you use it. Some placements were pretty timely & funny like after your Mountain House review.
