Summary of Events:
Yukon woke up to find that a strong wind had rolled in overnight and stolen his t-shirt, it also nearly stole Alex's sleeping bag, but otherwise just moved things around and prevented them from being able to have breakfast because they couldn't light a fire, prompting them to set off on empty stomachs . . .
Excerpt of the Day:
"Yukon sighed and tried to keep relaxed. It was hard, considering that the wind, he was sure, was in the single digits above freezing, due to its ferocity and the fact that it was coming off the generally cold Arctic Ocean.
"This voiceover isn't going to work so well," Kyle said. "I guess I'll have to rerecord something at home that can go with all the other narration I want to put over when I've compiled all of the shots for the final edit."
"How long do you expect the final edit to be?" Alex asked.
"I have no idea," Kyle replied. "According to my math I've got about four days — as in twenty four hour days — worth of footage from since we started walking alone. So I've got about eighty six hours of footage."
"Ninety six," JT corrected.
"What do you mean ninety six?" Kyle asked. "Four and four is eight not nine."
"But eight and eight is sixteen, not six," JT replied. "Carried numbers don't go off into the Twilight Zone."
"Right," Kyle said. "And that's not counting the footage from our preparing to leave to the kayaking tournament."
"What is your optimum to pare it down to?" Alex asked.
"I'd say at max I'd want ten two-hour videos," Kyle replied. "If I could pare it down to one or two would be awesome. I could do four too."
"And if we want to see them we'd have to go onto YouTube?" Alex asked.
"Yeah," Kyle replied. "Although I'd love to actually have premiers for them, especially so we can all watch it together, and maybe kind of reminisce about the trek. We could even bring family and stuff to watch them too."
"You do realise how expensive it is to fly between Ontario and Nunavut, right?" Ryan asked.
"Yeah," Kyle replied. "And if nobody wants to pay to fly either way we could maybe set up something of a simulcast, either that or we could send you guys a notice when it's officially uploaded and you guys can have a premier party up here and we can have one down there together, and maybe even have a Skype between each other to get reactions and stuff."
"The wonders of technology," Ben said.
"You sound like that's a bad thing," Josh said.
"No, it just sounds really complicated," Ben replied.
"I'd like to have it that you guys are either part of the first viewing or get to see the first or second viewing because you guys were a part of this," Kyle said. "If it weren't for you guys we wouldn't really have had a trip — much less pretty much all of our food."
"It's nice to be appreciated," Josh said."
