This is a GoPro free compilation of random moments captured on film during the spring/summer tree planting season of 2013 at Spectrum Resource Group Inc. I couldn't possibly list the names of the entire cast but I do feel compelled to give shout outs to a few people... Matthew Colin, for basically inventing a job position for yourself, and then going above and beyond the job description to make everyone in camp smile on the hardest days and laugh their asses off on the not-so-bad days. Also, for your fantastic breakfast serving/fire building interviews! Everyone who helped with the collection of footage, but mainly Jeremy Thompson, for being the only other foreman brave enough to take on the camera occasionally! Your perspective and footage made this video. Also, for your inspiring words, both those that were captured and the ones that will fade into the back of my memory over time. It was seriously great working along side you this summer! All of the other foremen at Spectrum this summer for always pushing me to be better and for somehow finding ways to make me laugh harder and harder every single day. Our epic camp supervisor Joel McCall for knowing how to mix hope with the truth just right, for his big guns, and for giving my crew all the swag. Matthew Chechak and Tia Bauer for literally pulling solutions out of thin air on a daily basis to get us through whatever the hell that was in Alberta. The sexiest cooks in the books, Kate Rustemeyer and Meredith Douglas for being just that! ..but also for feeding me delicious food every day and for the midnight bus parties, that for legal reasons, didn't happen. And finally, to all of the planters for showing up every day, re-planting when we asked you to, and for pulling together during that summer plant in a way that I honestly thought was only possible in the movies. You're all ballers and I live through you. As for my planters specifically, our relationship is so much better than any effort to explain it would ever be. I just hope you each know that you mean the world to me and I would drop my bags on a work day, or metaphorically if we were in the real world, for any of you, any time!
