Go for it, there should be a switch on the camera to take you from video to record, you should post the model of the camcorder as I am sure someone will explain it in detail so we can all see this video!

lisamariewillbe 1 #113 December 29, 2005 Since I havent got the video uploaded yet, Ill go into the events.... the first three attempts with just wrapping paper ,did not work... did not create enough heat, smoke nor for a decent amount of time, and the animal mocked me after the attempts with some scratching and noise making.... so I grab a vans shoe box and load it with paper, and plastic .... camera in one hand lighter in the other I go into action.... flames are huge and theres the smell of horrific burning plastic.... just as I am thinking I failed again I hear a loud thud, and I scream.... fucker fell from somewhere but not through the flew... then the fires somewhat out of control and I try blowing it out but its just not working....I get some water, it puts half the fire out, I hear another thud, even bigger this time.... yet no evidence of a animal .... fire is really smoking now so I get more water.... but I make sure I set the camera up while im getting the water... got the fire out.... huge mess in the fireplace... animal is now blocking the flew on the cross bar thingy I think because the smoke started to get into the house thats what I get for listening to dz.commers....

yamtx73 0 #124 December 29, 2005 if/when it falls out just scoop it up in a shovel and get rid of it.... if it doesn't fall out then you have a problem, or rather will have a problem once it starts to decompose...The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

If he's still there in the morning, you'll need to get some gloves and and something long with which to move the body so that you can pull him out. Don't try to pull him out, though, if you're not absolutely sure he's dead. You don't want to fuck with a live raccoon, especially if it's not feeling well. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.
