Ted from RED asked me what size pockets I have, and I didn't have an answer for him when I saw him in Miami. OK, now I have a definitive answer. I bought a pair of Columbia Titanium shorts (style TM4107) and these are the pockets that I will have when I go filming nature movies. Does anyone else have these shorts? They are great. The pockets are quick dry like in a bathing suit. The fabric and construction are tough, hence the Titanium name. (And they are made in Indonesia, not China.)

Design Scarlet for use by Les Stroud of Survivorman.

I don't think he wears Titanium shorts. But he should.

The guy has his own show, but look at that cheap ass video camera he has. Come on RED team, design Scarlet for him. I'll buy one too. Maybe I'll have my own show some day.
I don't want to get in trouble with your legal department by giving you unsolicited ideas, but just think product placement and who's show you are going to put it on and who will do it cheap and who will show up to events like NAB. (Just make sure they don't use the N word, like DOG the Bounty Hunter who just happened to wear Oakley Thump sunglasses.)

Looks like Les has gone to the dark side. He could have had a HVX. Maybe he uses a Sony because he considers his cameras to be disposable. Someone get him a RED, please.
go to DV.com for the article about Les and the cameras he uses.

OK, forget about Les. He is Canadian and uses a Sony. Back to the pockets. Just have Jarred wear a pair of Columbia Titanium shorts to NAB 2008, and have him show people that Scarlet fits in the pockets. They can even be Oakley shorts, as long as the Oakley pockets are not bigger than the Columbia pockets.
