This post was really going to be an after-April-15th announcement but because of recent developments, I simply MUST tell you sooner!

(In case you didn’t know, ESP_Boss has a very large tax practice that I work in as well. We prepare well over 1,200 returns in a pretty tiny town!)

I am pleased to announce that The Outdoor Princess will be producing a series of How-To videos about the most common outdoor adventures. That’s right, in addition to the newsletters (camping, fishing and geocaching) we’ll also be making short videos for those subjects that simply MUST be seen to be understood.

I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m announcing this NOW instead of in two weeks after the end of tax season.

That’s because my very good friend and sometimes-EatStayPlay.com-helper, Isabel has auditioned for The Biggest Loser reality TV show. And, as part of the audition process, she needed to make a video to send in.

We’ve had the video camera for months now and have been collecting our ideas for the videos that EatStayPlay.com and The Outdoor Princess (that’s me!) will be creating first. But, this opportunity to test it all out AND help a friend was just too good to pass up.

Here's ESP_Boss getting set up for our first shoot.

All afternoon on Sunday Dad & I were at Isabel’s house, filming her, her kids, and munching on Easter candy. We finished filming this morning in the tax office. Once the video is all edited, we’ll be putting in on YouTube so the judges can find it. I’ll be sure to post the link on the blog so you can see all our hard work!

Today, I took the footage to a friend of Isabel’s who will be editing it for us. In fact, after April 15th, he’ll be teaching ESP_Boss and I how to edit our own footage!

Here are some things for you to be thinking about:

What types of How-To videos would you like to see? What’s something you’ve always wondered about but aren’t sure how to do?

Send me an email or drop a line in the comments and I’ll see what I can do!
