    A broken tie-out stops the Water Monkey?!! Never!!

    Gear failures suck - always a hassle - but solutions are usually not far off from a clear head.

    Looking forward to part 3 - making me miss being out in the green.

    Really awesome scenery and that fence crossing was cool too.

    But, man that sucks about your tarp. You just had to let part 2 end there so we don't know what happened. Bring on part 3!

    Ha I know. Trying the suspense thing. Part 3 is cut and ready to rock. Gonna have to wait till tomorrow morning. Off to finish up Part 4.

    Yeah I was leery to field repair it as I didn't want to screw it up beyond repair. Stormcrow and I discussed this when we met and going forward I will have more confidence in a field repair on my lonesome.

    Yes it's the devil. Especially when you are expecting a taxi at a train station. Apparently I was in the NY boonies.

    I've noticed you've got some gear videos out. Cant wait till I'm all done uploading my final part and I can sit down and gander at the gear

    Nice stuff, Raul. Thanks for taking one for the audience during filming at the expense of stepping into puddles.
