Athena goes back outside :) (Patreon)

Hi guys :)

First: Have everyone updated / added a shipping address for the stickers? Ava starts shipping out the stickers on Wednesday :)

This video contains a paid promotion for Skillshare. This is more than anything a test to see how people are going to react. I'm a little nervous about Patreon being my sole source of income when I go full time on YouTube. Patreon might close their doors or drastically change their terms of service. Both are well outside of my control and that is a little scary. To cope with that uncertainty I want some kind of back up. Paid promotions could be that backup - we'll see what the crowd says ;) 

I've started putting together a backup kit of all the hardware/gear I need to shoot videos. Again this is to help eliminate some of the uncertainty assosiated with going full time on YouTube. So far I've got an extra GH4 with a 25mm 1.7. That's pretty narrow for shooting inside the boat but I'm holding out for Panasonics new 10-25 f1.7. It was announced last week and sounds amazing for what I do. Also, I've got ektra SSDs, SD cards, card readers, wireless lav mics, batteries, chargers and so on. 

I'm excited to start working on the dodger. It will be amazing to be able to get that back on the boat. I know it's not to everyone's taste but I love the original Warrior 38 dodger. It reminds me of 80's sci-fi but in a good way :) It is very important that I remember to glass in the last support for the diesel tank before it get's too cold. I should make sure to do that before leaving to see Ava in 16 days :)

I'm going to go take Jökull for a walk. Have an awesome Sunday guys :)
