The video below is simply a template I created for tutorials. It has been interesting working my way through the learning curve. Goal is to find a player that will allow my subscribers to access videos from their computers and from mobile devices, while at the same time providing a level of protection. I discovered many Flash players that provide very simple security options, but won’t play on iPod, iPhone, etc. Something about Apple and Adobe clashing over Flash. This player provides security and will play .mp4, but I’m having difficulty getting it to play on my iPhone. I’ll keep pluggin’ away until I get it right.
I’m not expecting people to carry their mobile device through canyons, referring to it frequently for “advice from Rich”. But I do think my subscribers will like the option of taking their video with them to practice rigging systems on the tree in the backyard or from the rafters in the garage.
Welcome to the ART of Canyoneering and to my canyoneering blog. The objective of this site is to provide you with the learning resources you need to become a safe, efficient, self-reliant canyoneering, including how-to articles, instructional PDF documents and tutorial videos. Of course membership has its privileges and much of the content will only be available to paid subscribers, but I promise to provide some nuggets for everyone. Nuggets will include instructions for the Totem, VT Prusik, Canyon Quickdraw and other gear I developed. I hope you will visit often. –Rich
The American Canyoneering Association’s meetup group has recently topped 600 members. Canyoneering events are being planned every month. Perhaps at a location convenient for you. Check it out.
Finished installing the membership software, member forums, etc. Another step closer to having the subscription version of my book available online. Check out the Subscribe page to get a peak at what will be included with each membership level.
Working on the ART of Canyoneering field handbook, while simultaneously working on a 3-ring binder subscription version and several instructional videos. As a subscriber you will receive a binder and index tabs with access to PDF documents you can print and insert into your binder. While the 4×6 field handbook, printed on waterproof synthetic paper, will be very succinct and include only what I believe to be the most important and useful skills and techniques, the subscription version will be expanded to include virtually every skill, technique and system known. Other features will include regular case studies with expert analysis.
I will be installing the membership management software next week and uploading documents. Anticipate accepting subscriptions within the next couple weeks.
