🦬 I am back with a follow-up video on the filming regulations in United States National Parks. In my previous video, I shared the challenges that full-time RV travelers and vloggers like myself face when it comes to filming in these protected areas. But, thanks to your support and action, I have some exciting news to share! 📬 Since releasing the sample letters urging for a change in the National Parks' filming permit requirements, I have received an overwhelming response from viewers who have taken the time to download the letters and write to their US Senators and Representatives. And the best part? We are making progress! 🎥 In this video I share some new information about the National Park Service's filming regulations. This could be a huge win for our community and a testament to the power of collective action. ❤️ I want to express my gratitude to each and every one of you who took the time to download the letters and share them with your elected officials. Your voices and actions have made a difference, and we are one step closer to creating a more inclusive and accessible National Parks system for all. So, if you are new to this cause or missed the first video, I encourage you to check it out and join us in this effort to inspire change. Let's continue to work together and push for a brighter future for our National Parks! ☕️ If you enjoy my content, why not buy me a coffee? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/VintageJim Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vintagejim61/ Website: https://jamesfisher.vip Some of the links below are affiliate links.

🚫 Did you know that filming in United States National Parks can result in hefty fines? The National Parks service requires a filming permit for anyone who wishes to capture and share their experiences in these protected areas. But, why should we have to pay for the privilege of sharing our love for nature with the world? 🦬 In this video, we will discuss the current regulations and consequences of filming in National Parks without a permit. We believe that these restrictions stifle creativity and limit the ability for individuals to share the beauty of our parks with others. 📬 To help make a change, we have sample letters available for download. These letters can be sent to your US Senators and Representatives, urging them to reconsider the National Parks' position on requiring permits for filming. By working together, we can help create a more accessible and inclusive National Parks system that encourages creativity and sharing. 🇺🇸 So, if you believe that the National Parks should be accessible to everyone, be sure to download the sample letters and send them to your elected officials. Let's work together to make a change and preserve the natural beauty of our parks for generations to come. 📬 Here's the link to the letters: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/VintageJim/e/115580 ☕️ If you enjoy my content, why not buy me a coffee? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/VintageJim Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vintagejim61/ Website: https://jamesfisher.vip Some of the links below are affiliate links.

My review of the Retro Sunny 16 camera bag. I've been searching for a camera bag for a long time. On an impulse, I ordered the Sunny 16 camera bag. My thoughts are review here.

It features great padding, a chest strap, waist strap, adjustable Velcro inserts, can carry TWO tripods, USB port, and more. Plus it has a great vintage style.
