1. The driver should not be the camera person. ;-) 2. Pre-plan everything in case the milk of human kindness does not bring up logging for the night. Unless you've got the RV.
3. I'm thinking if you are going to post 365 days you are gonna want to know every free wi-fi, Internet cafe and library on you trip around the country. Kinko's will kill your budget if you don't know where the free Internet resources are in a community. 4. Get to know your camcorder really well. 5. Have more than one. Maybe a good DV camcorder for the long interviews and something like the http://tinyurl.com/3xjxe6 camcorder for taking around town showing videos of the outdoors sights without drawing attention to the camcorder. It's good for daylight stuff and you can plug it into your laptop easy. I have to put myself to bed but I'll stew on it. I'm sure others will pipe in as well.
