Video No. 6: now we know

**mykl** · 02-16-2010, 11:17

I almost purchased: Appalachian Trail- National Geographic Channel. Saw it at a store the other day. But $30-. So I didn't. Anyone ever see it? Any good?

**RayBan** · 02-16-2010, 12:34

I saw that video (as well as all the rest) in connection with compiling the above list. It was very general in comparison to videos 1-6 but still interesting viewing.

Would I pay $30 (again) ? Probably not in light of the interviews/specifics of the first videos: but that's just me...

**Azurescens** · 05-17-2011, 23:12

Can you stream any of these movies online for free?

**Leanthree** · 05-17-2011, 23:26

Southbounders is on Netflix for free too. I really liked it, not sure about accuracy as I've never thru hiked.

I made a few hiking videos years ago.
Some parts of the AT in most of them.
I show some of the clips on youtube.

Here's some of them: Fearless: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEPxDtepd_8
Low Rider: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKs_u-7Pzx4

Yeah I saw the Nat. geo one, and Southbounders on Netflix. Those 2 are the reason I wanna start getting back into the AT again!

I enjoyed this quite a bit. Any other free (or even paid for streaming if it is good) indie videos out there?

**CaptainNemo** · 08-23-2011, 00:07

I did the same thing a while ago

Fiddlehead they pulled the top and bottom video. That sucks. I guess they don't like free advertizing.

That was really well done. Thanks.

$30 for the Nat. Channel Documentary!? Its only $20 if you order it direct off their website.

Mmmm. All the Pink Floyd stuff it seems.
It's all still up here in Thailand.
Interesting that they don't just charge some money for letting you use audio from pieces of their songs.

I have a friend who's a song writer (2 no. 1 country hits and 17 in the top 100) and he told me that the money really dried up lately.
You'd think they'd be looking for others ways to get income from music. (since no one seems to pay for it anymore)
Personally, I just watch youtube for any songs I want.
They're all on there. So why block some people's and not others?????

anyway, thanks Sly for the heads up.
I'll have to record my own renditions of those songs and try it again. That seems to work anyway.
(I wonder when they'll pull the Bach song and who's getting any money for those)

Calvin und Holley. The narration is in German but all the interviewees speak English and it's a good doc. Checkout Downtown Venus.
