I enjoyed the Wilderness passage greatly. What I see as the strong points are its unique abilities over a paper magazine. Videos even of digital camera quality lend action in another dimension from stills. Some times it even helps to reinforce the ruggedness of the location. The still set to music are very enjoyable. They seemed to be in a trip report sequence. I found my self tapping my foot to the music and imagining myself doing the trip in high speed. I have watched them several times.
Pages like the one on Alice Lake could be an informational resource for future trips. They could contain camp sight, pictographs, portages, hot fishing spots, hiking spots to good views and other things about each lake. Make it easy for subscribers to have a library of lakes.
The written word articles – trip reports were of good quality (the print was a little small for my eyes) but I can get those from paper magazines and the internet. They should have a place in the magazine but a small one.
What was missing? Audio trip reports with lots of pictures. With or without music in the background. The stills set to music could have audio picture captions. There could be a how to corner. Which could use print, audio, stills and video to show how to build a reflector oven, use a reflector oven, dry your own meat, and build a stripper canoe.
I can see there is a lot of work in preparing this for publication and I wish you the best of success. MagicPaddler
